Thai One On — Restaurant in Seattle

Was working in the area with a co-worker and met a friend here for lunch. An aging restaurant that was essentially empty during the lunch rush that could use the peeling wall paper replaced, tables refinished, painting, etc. The service was pleasant and prompt. The soup wasn’t flavorful at all, mostly water with a couple bits of tofu in the bottom. Sadly my lunch special of garlic with chicken tasted as though it had been heavily burnt, or cooked in a completely burnt out pan. Despite the taste, the food itself was generally over cooked (chicken incredibly tough and dry and the vegetables turning dark) even though my dish was the first out of the kitchen in 10 minutes, the other orders coming 5 minutes later. My co-worker, who had the Pad Thai, said it was terribly bland lacking any flavor. Not likely a place we’d return to. Disappointing for a place with so many complimentary...

Mediocre to the last. The Pad Thai was edible, way too tangy; certainly not the best I've had. The orange chicken was ok except for the 1/4 inch of grease at the bottom of the carton which left the last of the chicken inedible. The deep fried tofu was good, but would have been better if the peanut sauce that supposed to come with it had been included in our delivery. They also forgot our beverage. The driver came back with the beverage but not the sauce. It did come with a free order of fried spring rolls which were actually very good. The Thai iced coffee tasted like it came out of a box and that was the main reason I'd wanted to order Thai to begin with. The delivery was timely if you except the forgotten items. Will not be ordering...

The restaurant industry has been severely damaged by the government's shutdowns that were totally ineffective, unscientific, unconstitutional, and an abuse of power. I am sad to say this has negatively impacted Thai One On. The Pad Thai was the worst that I've ever had over 5 decades of loving Thai restaurants - almost all noodle with several big blocks of apparently fried tofu made tough, almost no vegetable, and not at all worth going out for. The red curry and the basil dishes were similarly disappointing. I liked the cashew chicken the best, and it was passable for a hungry cheap guy in a rush. Lunch specials are no $12.50, and the majority of the 4 I purchased ended up down the disposal. I will not return. I am...
