Bahn Thai is located in the Queen Anne neighborhood. I stopped in this restaurant with a friend by chance since the thai restaurant we planned on going to for lunch was closed on weekend lunch. We immediately noticed the extravagantly painted front of building, including the door! It was hard for us to find where we should enter! Once we realized we could enter this colorful front door, we entered a room that was dimly lit that looked quite fancy for our casual lunchtime taste. I questioned leaving since there is another Thai restaurant within a few blocks, but we decided to give it a try.

The service was sufficient, with our waitress being polite and attentive without being overbearing. The food was good, not the best I've had, but better than most Thai restaurants in Seattle. I was also impressed with the "kick" or spice, the food had. I like a lot of spice, but I have a hard time getting Thai restaurants to make my food spicy enough, but Bahn Thai did not hold back. Prices were mid-range. Simple Thai lunches were just over $8, but most dishes were $12-$15, which is much too pricey for a lunch menu in my opinion. They also had no lunch specials that day, and that really disappointed me.

A unique feature of the restaurant is the hilarious drink/dessert menu sitting on the table. While it didn't convince us to try anything, my friend and I had a long hearty laugh together. The menu was not meant to be funny, but I guarantee you'll be laughing if you read through this menu!

Overall, Bahn Thai is a nice Thai restaurant if you don't mind the prices. It has a nice atmosphere, sufficient service, and good food.
