Larb Thai — Restaurant in Shoreline

This was my second visit for take out from Larb Thai and I’m starting to lean to the idea that this might be the best Thai restaurant in Seattle.

My first visit was focused on the Isarn classic - larb (duck). This place just knocks it out of the park. Extremely good mix of the correct, classic herbs and just the right amount of seasoning.

Second visit I ordered Pad See Ew (pork) and it really knocked my socks off. Best execution of this dish I’ve had in Seattle. Great wok char, noodle consistency, vegetable cut. Each bite is easily composed on your spoon.

My relatives say this is definitely going to be one of their...

They have a wide variety on the menu, and luckily we went with a big group so we got to try a lot. I’d say about 90% of the dishes were on point. The papaya salad was the only one that wasn’t consistent. We reordered it because the first one was great, but the second didn’t quite hit the mark.

Portions are on the smaller side, so I’d recommend ordering two dishes per person. That said, the total cost was very reasonable. Service was great and very attentive even though they were really busy. I’ll definitely be back to try...
