Sno Thai Café and Bar — Restaurant in Snoqualmie

I've been ordering take out from here for many years since we have 2 small kids, and every order has been consistantly delicious and served with a genuine smile. The wide- noodle dishes are cravable! Well tonight I decided to take the girls to dine in and it was actually better than expected! Their genuine, honest hospitality is palpable. From remembering me by name as soon as I walked in (what?? I don't even know their names!) And watching them buzz around swiftly making sure every guest's need was taken care of, to the ways they treated my kids with respect and care, it's obvious that they truly care about the people they serve and they are proud of their offerings. THAT is the type of restaurant environment that compells one to come back. The restaurant is clean and the new updates they've done to the menu and space are an uplifting and welcomed change. I was genuinely delighted.! The food was all on point and my 7 yo remarked that the "Pad Thai is so good it's like it has magic in it! That's why it's the only thing I ever order". The new cafe section is really fun and cozy and the new desserts....OMG, give me a moment...... they're like a whinnying duo of unicorns galloping circles around me while magic dust poufs from their rainbow 🌈 manes, filling the air with feelings of nostalgia for my best travel memories and anticipation of the new ones to come! LEAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT!! I'm so glad to have these guys and gals in our community and am proud just watching the solid effort they have always put into making their business and asset to the community, changing and adapting...

Definitely found a new comfort spot for a Thai food craving. When you walk in, you’re greeted by the kind staff and once you’re seated, you scan the QR code at your table and order right there! The order gets sent to the kitchen, so no waiting for the awkward eye contact you typically have to make with a server, hahaha. There are a couple of tables inside but did not feel cramped at all. The energy of the whole resturant also felt so comforting and homey.

We got the calamari (not pictured, was too hungry to take a pic LOL), pad see ew, avocado curry, jungle crispy garlic chicken, and the khao yumm ghai zapp. I loved the texture of the pad see ew and every bite was so savory and tasty, and if you know me, I LOVE my pad see ew! We also decided to try the avocado curry and the avocado blends so well with the creamyness of the stew. The khao yumm ghai zapp was also so so good.

I would recommend all, if not more, but if I had to recommend at least one thing, it would be the jungle crispy garlic chicken. On a bed of butter lettuce, you get a super crispy, sweet and aromatic outside and a juicy chicken in the inside, paired with a type of siriracha sauce. I couldn’t stop reaching for it.

Also! Don’t miss out on the desserts. Bubble waffles? Even Filipino inspired drinks? Don’t pass up on it! We had the ube and buko pandan shakes, and the vanilla and cookies & cream bubble waffles 🤤

Notes to add: There is street parking available right in front of the resturant but there is a parking lot right behind...

We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) and ordered 5 dishes for take out dinner tonight with the intention to have extra for lunch. We don’t eat out often bc of the cost, and it’s rare we all have a weekend night home together. The kids wanted Thai, so Thai it was.

We picked this spot bc it’s close to home (5 min from our house) and looks like a cute little restaurant. It has been set for take out only due to Covid.

Now let’s review the food. The first thing we noticed was the food was luke warm, which is really odd since we live so close. It had clearly been sitting (and I had arrived 20 min before their suggested pick up time) and we had to reheat - not ideal. The flavors in the dishes were good, but the portions were shockingly tiny. One dish wasn’t even enough for my 5 year old which should tell you everything you need to know about how tiny their portions were. And these were supposed to be dinner portions…. We ended up having to order pizza to fill the gap.

For $76 I expect at a minimum to have a complete portion that doesn’t leave me having to order more take out. I would suggest looking elsewhere. No other Thai restaurant from the valley to issaquah rips people off like this. Super disappointing. I really wanted to like this spot, but will be driving to issaquah...
