Sumalee's Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Bonney Lake

This was the worst dining experience we ever had. 1- Our waitress never brought us water. We had to ask another waitress for water. 2 One of the waitresses dropped a bowl from a table she was busing- it sprayed sticky stuff over one of us. 3-People who came 5-10 minutes after we did were getting served. 4- An hour into waiting for food, a waitress asked us if we needed more water or were ready for the check. We told her we never got our food, and she responded by saying "oh sh--." We asked for the food to go because it was getting late. Another 10-15 minutes passed and it became clear the food order never made it to the kitchen. At that point, we told them we'd just pay for the one drink we ordered and wanted to leave. 5- I politely explained why we no longer wanted the food. The waitress wouldn't look me in the face and hid her face with her hand (or maybe she was holding her head, idk). Either way, she never apologized for our experience. She did however, argue with the kitchen staff in front of me.

And all this is not counting the fact that one of the waitresses spilled a glass of water all over another party's table while we were there.

Yikes. It must have been a rough day, but we won't...

I think I found my new fav thai place. First of all food was delicious. Whenever I ordered spicy level 4/5 at other thai restaurants theyre always too mild for me and tastes more like 1-2/5. This place I felt like was exactly 4/5, perfect spiciness I wanted that wasnt just achieved simply by sprinkling more pepper flakes on top like some places do, but the actual taste was spicy. Good spicy. Also, it was my first time here so I ordered the wrong dish over the phone by accident (clearly my fault but I do wish they had pics on the online menu) so after the food came out I showed the cook?owner? A picture of what I thought I was getting, and asked him the name of the dish so I can get it next time. But he kindly offered to switch it up to that dish instead and immediately started cooking! I thought that was really nice of him. You may have lost a dish but you've earned a loyal customer plus friends that I will be bringing here. Also reasonable pricing and portion which are also the biggest determining factors of whether I will be going back or not: taste, service, price, and portion. IMO they were excellent in all four and I will definitely...

I really wanted some Thai food so I chose Sumalee's on the recommendation from a neighbor and it was pretty good!

I called in a take out order and the wait was lengthy (45 minutes) which makes sense as some Asian restaurants are closed on Sundays. I arrived after the 45 minute wait, I was told it would be another 10 minutes due to the amount of orders. The kitchen was fully staffed and working hard so it wasn't their fault. In those 10 minutes, there were at least 7 orders that were picked up so they were slammed.

My family ordered some staples. Phad Thai, Phad See Ew, and some Pineapple Fried Rice. Of course thai food wouldn't be complete without some Thai iced tea! Overall we all had positive reactions to everything we ordered. It hit the spot!

You can order online for delivery or pick up through Doordash but of course there is that premium upcharge. I compared both menus and, for instance, the Phad Thai was $2 more and I would have been doing the pick up! Easier to call your order in and get it at price.

It's located by a bar so the parking lot can get pretty busy and full so be prepared to drive around to look for spots if it's in...
