MAY KITCHEN + BAR

We just moved to the island and had heard such great things about this place. We went at 4pm on a Thursday and were able to get seated as a walk in. Incredible food, beautiful presentation, huge portions. I have celiac and thai food us usually a safe bet for me, but almost everything on the menu was listed as gluten free! (I did feel like I might have had some cross contamination though) The fried eggplant appetizer with crispy basil was soo good! My husband loved his Chicken massaman curry and the shrimp/ veggies dish was fresh and tasty. Definitely will be our go to place for a meal on vashon. Atmosphere a bit dark, music was loud, and there was someone repairing a fridge/cooler in the bar so it was a bit noisy.

Be prepared to swoon over this restaurant. The food is orgasmic. The atmosphere is dim, intimate, and romantic. There was live guitar music serenading as we dined on gourmet offerings. My wife and I shared the watercress (coated in rice flour and deep fried to crispy perfection) and the twice cooked pork spare ribs (melt in your mouth), along with prawn pineapple fried rice. Their Thai iced tea does not disappoint. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and more than happy to help you select an entre or appetizer. The presentation of the dishes is immaculate. This place really cares about it's food. Definitely get reservations if you have more than 2 people. We sat at the bar and loved it.

Food was excellent. Our group of 4 split 3 appetizers and 3 entrees. The fried watercrest appetizer (yum phak boong) was excellent and a must try. The sauces that went with the vegetable spring roll (papia phat sot) was great. My favorite entree was the green curry. Their special margaritas and martini were also excellent.

Really disappointed with this restaurant given the high rating. The tilapia appetizer was yummy, but unfortunately that was our only positive. I’m not one to send things back, but the eggplant appetizer was so salty it was inedible. The pad see ew was extremely smoky?? and that flavor permeated everything. Just super bummed.

This is by far the best Thai food in the PNW. The watercress appetizer is delicious and crispy. Table side pad Thai is an absolute must. We also love the Thai margaritas, the perfect amount of spice. Great, dark ambiance in the restaurant. One of our favorite go-to’s on the island!
