Ka Pow Thai On Wheel — Restaurant in Seattle

I wish I had taken photos of the food, but we were so excited to eat that I forgot. Some tips for easy ordering: You must order online through THEIR website -- you cannot order at the window. It is not a food truck.. it is a large commissary kitchen shared by a few different restaurants. KaPow is on the back side closer to the intersection, and You'll have to call to let them know you're there. But on to the food! Holy Jesus lord in HEAVEN was this food good. We used to eat at Bang Bar, but their prices are exorbitant, there is hardly any meat in their dishes (even when I pay for extra), and they can't get their spice rating consistent. So my roomie and I have been trying to find a new Thai place for our main place.

Enter, KAPOW! Had a bit of a kerfuffle ordering (didn't know we couldn't order there), but we now know to order off the website. The woman who works there literally walked hot cruchy rolls TO MY CAR for free because of the wait. They were AMAZING. We got our food before the estimated finish time and brought it home where we stood at the counter stuffing our faces like heathens before we decided to slow down and dish up into a bowl. It was just that good -- we didn't want to stop eating.

The portions were MASSIVE. It was so much food. My roommate got the Pineapple fried rice (+tofu, -egg, -fish sauce) and it was easily three portions of food. Also, I mistakenly went to the window when we first got there, and spoke with the woman employee (i feel so bad that i dont know her name) before ordering. I let her know we needed the rice dish to be vegan, and there was no where to specify this online. She said she would remember, so I ordered online, but then I forgot to check a box on the website when ordering for gluten free. She literally came out to my car to verify my order. So so SO nice of her.

My father and I got Pad Si Iew with Sirloin steak, and there was more meat than noodle in this dish! How generous! And the flavor? 10/10! Absolutely delicious mix of sweet and salty from the brown soy. I'm heating some up for lunch as we speak. We added steamed vegetables for 7.00 more, and they were cooked perfectly. My dad kept raving about them. They were perfect al denté. I ordered the Ka Pow Chicken over rice. Again, massive freaking portion. I easily have 70% left over. And jam packed with flavor. The ground chicken absorbed so much basil and spice flavor that every bite was so satisfying. A few nice big chunks of red bell pepper were a welcome change from the normal green bell pepper at other Thai restaurants. So glad I tried something new because this was delicious.

To sum up: Wonderful service, great portion sizes, and amazing food. I called them in the middle of eating just to tell them how great the food was.

UPDATE!!!!!

I have ordered from here numerous times since the original post, and the food is ALWAYS amazing. I posted some pictures so you can see the food and portion sizes. I already dished up my KaPow Chicken over rice and STILL had two portions left. And look at this glorious Pineapple Fried rice with those huge chunks of tofu! So good! This is one of the best restaurants in town with an amazing owner and chef. She is so absolutely sweet and kind. Please be super nice to her and eat her...

To be clear I can't leave the food review blank and still review the other parts of the experience and I did not eat. The food looks great.

I can't figure out the model here it is 100% take out (totally fine) and a hub for a number of food trucks. Nothing wrong with the model but the web site doesn't immediately guide me on this unless Google is reprocessing the page.

I drove 30 minutes to get here and could not even order. There are several restaurants serviced from the site some guidance on the web site or on a board would be a much better experience.

612 PM. Google said you were open. I'd have to check your web site, but it would have allowed me to place an online order had I wanted to go that route. There was a sign saying a person could "order" at the window, but I didn't get service when I stood there for 2 minutes. On top of this you block my communication in FB PM which you advertise on your site as the means to communicate with you? Your food looks great and I went out of my way to try to buy from you. To make me out to be wrong here is totally inconsistent, especially as you block even communicating with me.

Perhaps you want to tidy the experience up and not complain that a customer had such a...

Showing up to get the food was odd. You push a button at the front of the store then get directed to the back of the store. At the back it is right where the kitchen is. I walked in awkwardly until someone gave us our food. Make sure to ask for napkins and chopsticks because they did not provide any.

The food was very mid/sub par for the price. I got the Pad Kee Mow which is my normal Thai order. Mine had decent flavor to start out but got worse as I continued eating. Whole cloves of garlic were an unfortunate surprise. My girlfriend got Lamy’s Spicy pad Thai. The flavor of hers was honestly bad. I had a bite and was good with that. All and all not a good experience I will not be going back to this place.

I wish I would have known it was a mediocre or sub par place. It unfortunately had good reviews. Hopefully this will help someone, not the kind of person to leave a review couldn’t help...
