Noppakao | Thai Restaurant

I've gotten takeout from noppokao ~1x per week for the past 2 years, definitely the best Thai place in the area. Delicious food and huge portions (especially on the appetizers). Great service, never had to wait extra for a pickup order.

You can enjoy great Thai food after a stroll around the Juanita Beach area. This restaurant has an attractive exterior, interior, and really delicious menu options. The service was timely, and the prices are reasonable. We felt very welcome to stay after the meal and enjoy more beverages and good conversations. A large attractive fish tank is a special featured decor. Booth and table seating are optional. It is a wheelchair friendly place with a peaceful vibe.

When we first moved to Kirkland back in 2002, Noppakao used to be one of our local favorites. I moved here from LA, re land of a thousand Thai restaurants, and i dared say the 2002 Noppakao was up there with some of the best I've had. Over the years ownership changed and so did the food and after several disappointing experiences we stopped going. On a quiet Monday evening we worked later than planned and had to scramble for dinner. Our usual go to restaurants were closed so we thought we should give Noppakao another try. There were only 2 other tables there with us. We ordered chicken wings, pad woo sen, and Lemongrass chicken. The chicken wings were not fresh, tasted like the wings had long expired before being fried and served up. After a couple bites i could not eat anything anymore an

Very good Thai food in the area. I would give a 5 stars, but my dry noodles dish came out a little too soft. It felt like they put the noodles too long in the hot water.

The service was very friendly. Our food came out hot and the portions were large! The thai ice coffee was great. I love the high-back, large booths. Noise level was minimal and the restroom was clean. For reference, we arrived at ~6:30 pm on a Wednesday. We were seated right away. I will return soon. :)
