Richard_dinMemberAnyone try The Thaitan? I heard it’s good and cheap.

WSN_HelenMemberI’ve had take-out a few times. Tried something new every time and enjoyed it all! Their 4 star spicy is atomic but still edible. It will definitely clear up your sinuses though. The new owners are really nice too.

WSBKeymasterFYI Thaitan is one of the few restaurants we have found so far that will be open Christmas Day. (First version of Christmas Eve/Day restaurant list coming out tonight)

JoMemberI love Thai food but haven’t found a restaurant that will deliver to Alki.
Well, Thaitan does. I called them yesterday, after reading your posts, and they faxed me a menu.
Guess what I’m having for dinner tonight (and lunch tomorrow).
If anyone has any favorites, please post.

BonnieParticipantI just noticed today that The Thaitan is in restaurant.com. Get a gift certificate for $2. Code is SANTA for 80% off.
Actually, did not purchase this one this time. Wish I would have read this before I purchased a few gift certificates this morning.

WSBKeymasterJo, thanks for the delivery detail. We’re about to interview the proprietor and I will make sure that gets into the story.

JoMemberGot company, so didn’t wait for dinner to order.
,
We got three different entrees:
Naam tok (marinated beef salad), YUUUMMMM YUM YUM
Crispy Garlic Chicken, YUUUUMMMMMMY
Yellow Curry Fried Rice, equally YUMMY. (Will probably order just plain pork fried rice next time, though)
The portions seemed HUGE! Even with three of us, I still have alot left over.
.
With tax, the bill came to around $10.95 per entree (Including tax), plus tip. Not bad at all. And there was no charge for delivery. Many places just won’t deliver down here to Alki, so that’s why I was so excited to find out that The Thaitan does. I definitely will order from here again when I get a Thai craving – which happens often.

JayDeeParticipantI have kind of a mental block when it comes to Thai food–mainly because Thai cuisine features sweet food, but most offer a version of Chinese/Asian stuff too. So perhaps that is why I have no clue where Thaitan is…Can someone post the address?

CrystalizedGingerMemberTried yesterday for lunch. BF had the lunch special with Pad See Iew (wide noodles, gravy, chicken and broccoli), and he enjoyed it very much. I had the Larb Salad with sticky rice. My dish was authentic (I have Laotian and Thai friends who cook for me, and they didn’t tone it down for the uninitiated)and the 4-star could have been hotter, but I pepper everything!
They do have pho, but honestly I think they don’t need it on the menu, but then again, I live near White Center so I am spoiled with all the Vietnamese food right near me :)
I will be back to try thier pumpkin curry (to compare with Buddha Ruska’s)and various other yummies- I hope they have Papaya Salad…

grrParticipantI’ve been for lunch a few times.. Always good!

hammyMemberWe tried Thaitan yesterday and enjoyed it. I am not an expert on Thai food but I have visited Thailand a bunch of times, spending several months there. I thought the food was excellent and much more authentic than many of the other Thai places around here. The curry was particularly good.

datamuseParticipantThat is good to read, hammy. I’ve only been to Thailand once but my brother’s in-laws are Thai and Chinese and very particular about food. I’ve not been too impressed with Buddha Ruska and have mostly gone to Kaosamai up in Fremont for my fix. Sounds like I should give Thaitan a try.

WorldCitizenParticipantI had to revisit this thread after returning to the Thaitan recently. The food was Very Very good. Solid from top to bottom. I have now been back 3 times in 2 weeks and have to say the consistency is there. And that seems to be the hardest thing for restaurants to realize …consistency.
We went when it first opened and were completely under-whealmed. Now it’s quickly becoming my favorite Thai joint in the city. It kills me to see a place with the quality food they have at the prices they charge constantly empty.
Oh, and the service is always friendly and prompt and comfortable. Maybe because they’re empty all the time. Do yourself a favor and give this place a second (or first) try.

tanyar23ParticipantI took my family there and we loved the food! We hope to go back again soon!

JanSParticipantI, too, have enjoyed Thaitan…had some excellent food . Definitely more people should give it a try.

KeithMemberAnother recent convert! Their Pad Thai reminds me a lot of Thai Tom on the Ave, which is my favorite for noodles anywhere in the city. Looking forward to exploring more of their menu.

WSMomParticipantYou all have talked me into it! This place is right around the corner from my house and I guess it’s time to give it a try!!
October 6, 2010 at 1:01 am #684311
JoBParticipantdatamuse..
did you ever make ti to thai tan?
i am curious as to how you rated it.
i’m not so impressed with buddah ruska myself..
but have been back to thai tan several times
in spite of the fact that i am not so impressed with their tom ka :(

MargLMemberHow does the crispy garlic chicken compare to Buddha Ruksa?
Whenever I see the Thaitan building all I can think of is bad mexican food.
October 6, 2010 at 2:36 am #684313
voodooMemberWait, wait, did somebody make a comparison to Thai Tom??? I was a regular there when I lived in the U-District years back; I haven’t found anything that compares, in my book. Must. Try. Soon!

WorldCitizenParticipantThe crispy garlic chicken is AWESOME! I get it every time I go. I find the garlic not as blackened but there’s plenty of it. The prep seems the same otherwise. The chicken is cooked perfectly every time. I’m telling you, the consistency is there.
Also good: Panang Curry with beef (or any other protien, but beef worked particularly well), Phad Prik King (Green Beans), Phad Thai, Phad Ke Mao, Green Curry.
