chantanee thai restaurant

best thai on eastside. done. eat the larb ghai, sizzling beef, panang beef andchickenphad thai.

my favorite place to eat. i was buying $30 worth of food for just myself once a week back before i moved. cripsy garlic chicken, swimming rama, spring rolls,chickensatay, phad thai, princess curry - you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

what happened?. the older reviews are no longer correct. they have kept the same menu and prices but switched to prepackaged processed food. we ordered a the crispy garlicchickenand a noodle dish were met with deep-friedchickentenders and noodles that had been holding on a steam table for the better part of the evening. we ended up sending back the food and paying our bill.

overall, it was an offensive and demeaning experience.

average at best. on a recnet visit to bothell we decided to use the the urban spoon app on my iphone and it suggested pen thai. we did a little more research and saw that it had some good reviews. the restarant was a little difficult to find because it just has a sandwich board for a sign. we we walked in we were very impressed by the aromas and decor.the service was exceptional. i oerdered thechickensatay and cashew chicken. when the satay arrived i was surprised at the number of skewers (6) ofthem. it was very tastey and the peanut sauce was very good. i then received the cashewchickenmoments after the satay had arrived. it was still trying to eat this mountain ofchickenskewers while my cashewchickensat on the table getting cold. when i finally tried the cashewchickeni was somewhat displeased at the flavour. i had asked for a heat rating of three out of five. the chcicken was tasteless and was coated in what i can only describe as a buffalo wing sauce. my partner had anotherchickendish and when i sampled his i found the flavours to be very similar. the portions were huge!. we could have easily dined on one order of skewers and onechickendish. this restaurant brings a whole new meaning to the term super size. sadly, i think the kitchen was more interested in pushing out the food rather than taking its time and developing the thai flavours in it's dishes.

yum.. best thai in the area. it is delicious.

love pen thai. pen thai is excellent. their crispy garlicchickenis amazingly good. i also love their thai beef salad and their princess favorite chicken. delicous!!

best thai food. i'm not one given to hyperbole very often, but i think this is the best damn thai restaraunt. not in bothell, but that i've ever been to. this has been confirmed by pretty much everyone i have eaten with there.

i personally go for thai stir fry, so i really like the cashewchicken(similar to a phad him ma parn at other thai places). also, beef fried rice is another favorite. from what my friends say, the curry is excellent as well, although i don't eat curry dishes, as i'm not a fan of coconut milk
