Bai Tong Thai Restaurant

Went here with a big group, so we ordered a little bit of everything. You’ll see both vegetarian and meat dishes in this post. I’m mostly vegan, and they were happy to adjust dishes for me, which made it easy and stress-free. Bai Tong Thai Restaurant has a nice mix of options — soups and salads, noodle and rice dishes, curries, and plenty of choices that work for vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan eaters. The menu is clearly marked, and the staff is used to customizing. The story behind the place is also lovely. It started in 1989 near Sea-Tac by a former Thai Airways flight attendant who wanted to cook familiar food for airline crews passing through Seattle. Over time, it grew into multiple locations, but the food still feels comforting and familiar. If you’re in Seattle (or Redmond / Issaquah) and need a Thai spot that works for everyone at the table, this is a solid choice.

It’s time to have a year end dinner out. BaiTong is an amazing place. Enjoyed the atmosphere, for date, for family and friends gathering. The staffs were attentive and very helpful. She knew exactly what we needed before we even asked. The food was also good. However because being a all time Thai food lover and live in Southeast Asia, I believe some dishes could be even better 🙂 Overall it was a great experience dining at Baitong Thai.

I visited Bai Tong Thai Restaurant on Friday evening without a reservation, so there was about a 30-minute wait. Once we were seated, the food arrived pretty quickly. We ordered the popular Burmese dish Khao Soi, Thai green curry, and jasmine rice. Every minute of the wait was completely worth it. The Khao Soi truly surprised me, it was incredibly flavorful, rich, and perfectly balanced. I honestly feel like I could order it every single time I visit. The portion sizes were also quite generous. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We used to have good experience at Bai Tong Redmond but Monday lunch turned to be disappointed. I and 11 coworkers went Bai Tong for team lunch at Monday. The food was mediocre, the service was so so. First of all, the kitchen missed one of our order. My coworker kept on waiting for her dish until the waiter told her that she had to reorder a dish. When the food arrived, all of them tastes off. The mango Thai ice tea does not tastes mango at all. The garlic chicken was way too sweet that you can not taste any other flavor. The chicken satay was quite dry. The curry fried rice got one spicy flavor over power other ingredients. Many of us had been Bai Tong before. So many dishes tasted different that we wondered if the Monday kitchen staff is different. Meanwhile, we will think twice before hosting team lunch on Bai Tong again.

Great place for gathering, taking your guest who doesn’t really know what Thai food tastes like or if you prefer food on the sweeter side. Food was TOO SWEET. We couldn’t believe it! It was like drinking/eating dessert. I have never had such sweet green curry. There is almost no balance between sweet, savory and sour. Not a come back for me. Food: 2/5 The ambience was there though and 5/5 for this.

I had a great experience at Bai Tong Restaurant. I tried the Tom Yum soup and my all-time favorite Pad Thai, and both were absolutely delicious. The spice level was perfect - just the right balance of heat and flavor. The food quality was excellent, fresh, and authentic. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely one of the best Thai restaurants around - I'll be coming back for sure!

We tried the trout curry and crab fried rice at Baitong Bellevue and absolutely loved every bite! The flavors were rich, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Truly one of the best meals we’ve had lately. Would love to visit again.
