Thai Gusto — Restaurant in Everett

Thai Gusto does everything perfectly! Worthy of coming and eating here regularly.

Pros: Amazing staff! - Super friendly and very attentive. They are able to anticipate your needs without making you feel surrounded. In fact you'll feel at home and taken care of very well.

Food We had the Green Curry, Phad Thai, Basil Fried Rice and Mango Sitcky Rice (seasonal dessert). Really good portions, enough for you to take home and fully enjoy yourself.

Green curry was perfectly seasoned, the eggplant was an excellent touch as it was quickly pan fried then added to the curry for additional depth of flavor.

Phad Thai This was really good. During this visit, the phad thai noodles were a bit clumped and sticky. This didn't take away from the flavor of the dish. For personal preference, I do like Phad Thai to have a touch of sauce just to allow the noodles to separate a bit easier. Also, some fresh sprouts as a topping would be a nice touch to add a bit of fresh crunch. Again, overall this dish was really good.

Basil Fried Rice This was knock out the park delicious! Hands down a must order.

All the savory dishes were made with fresh produce. It packed a nice punch of fresh flavor.

Mango Sticky Rice dessert -Treat yourself a little. This is 100% a must share. It's too much for a single person to eat. It's rich and heavy.

CONS- There's not much to say in this category.

Final: Definitely recommend this location for Lunch or Dinner. The food will hit the spot and put a smile on your face. Just know when you enter and get seated the staff will certainly put you at ease and make you feel welcomed. You will definitely enjoy yourself.

Update: 5/3/2024 -If you have any left over food. The food is equally as good and delicious as you first bought it.

-Since my original post we have visited several more times to try out the other dishes. The pictures are...

Sunday, 7/01/2021 - First time eating at "Thai Gusto" Restaurant. This is a cute little restaurant in Everette, WA. We hired a driver to bring us here, as we are visiting Seattle, WA. So am unsure about parking here. Upon arrival:

Pros:

1. restaurant is pretty large. Held about 25 tables with 4 chairs to each table (give or take).
2. service was great.
3. tables, chairs, utensils, plates, cups, etc all clean.
4. water tasted good. No metal taste.
5. we we given a large jug of ice water so we can refill our own water cups.
6. All of our food dishes tasted superb! Perfectly seasoned and cooked.
7. dessert was fried ice cream with vanilla ice cream with a side of coconut ice cream. It was delicious. But I wasn't used to the breading used on the fried banana. Still good tho.
8. women's bathroom was clean and well stocked. Sink clean. 2 stalls with 2 sink.
9. owners were very nice.
10. we had plenty of food left to take. It was too good.

Cons:

1. no cons! Except the fried banana breading. I gotta get used to this type of breading.

Conclusion: Love this place. We had no issues. Great service, delicious foods, clean restaurant, nice hostess. Will return here again. I recommend...

We were invited to dine here after a high school performance at the nearby auditorium. Our first red flag was police cars outside the restaurant and inside, police officers trying to remove a drunk person from the restaurant who had fallen asleep at one of the tables. The whole place was empty otherwise.

What was particularly disgusting was that my wife found trash in her food as she was packing up her food in the to-go container. A discarded paper or wrapper of some sort that had soaked up the sauce. At this point, everyone in our party had eaten the food, which mostly seemed to taste OK, but we all now had the sickly idea that we had consumed bits of trash in our food.

When we brought this to the server's attention, she did not respond to the complaint, apologize, or offer any discount. She just returned with the check, which included automatic gratuity, which we paid without fuss since they accommodated us within an hour of them closing, and we just wanted to get home. After paying, we left behind our leftovers. I'm sure this is a health code violation. Thankfully, my wife is a slow eater and had yet to consume much...
