koong thong

i have eaten green curry with tofu in just about every thai restaurant in king county and there are a number of places to get good thai food. the worst green curry with tofu and abysmal service is koong thong thai in south auburn. eating their tofu was more like chewing on a greasy tire. because i really was hungry i ate some of thericewith the broth from the curry. i thought the place was a bit overpriced for the food served to start with and having to pay that much for something i did not eat was irritating, to say the least.

tried this place because of all the good reviews i've seen. the place did not disappoint! my bf and i ordered the pad thai, pad woon sen, and fried rice. the pad thai really stood out and blew other thai restaurants out of the water with this dish. we ordered it with beef, i'm sure it would have been just as good with chicken. the pad woon sen was also good, though it was served with a lot of bamboo shoots. i found that the bamboo shoots were overpowering the entire dish. it would have been better if there was less of them. the friedricewas good, though it didn't stand out nearly as much as the pad thai. the restaurant had a really authentic feel to it. i think we were served by the manager or owner, who was really nice. also, they close at 9pm everyday. i will definitely come back here.
