We LOVE this place! The food is seriously amazing and the portions are generous. Good variety on the menu and all the flavors are delicious. The owners are wonderful people and all the staff there are friendly and very attentive. I've been to lots of Thai restaurants, having worked in Seattle for many years, and I can tell you that Sumalee's is top notch and absolutely holds its own to any of the other top Thai restaurants in this entire area!
I think I found my new fav thai place. First of all food was delicious. Whenever I ordered spicy level 4/5 at other thai restaurants theyre always too mild for me and tastes more like 1-2/5. This place I felt like was exactly 4/5, perfect spiciness I wanted that wasnt just achieved simply by sprinkling more pepper flakes on top like some places do, but the actual taste was spicy. Good spicy. Also, it was my first time here so I ordered the wrong dish over the phone by accident (clearly my fault but I do wish they had pics on the online menu) so after the food came out I showed the cook?owner? A picture of what I thought I was getting, and asked him the name of the dish so I can get it next time. But he kindly offered to switch it up to that dish instead and immediately started cooking! I thought that was really nice of him. You may have lost a dish but you've earned a loyal customer plus friends that I will be bringing here. Also reasonable pricing and portion which are also the biggest determining factors of whether I will be going back or not: taste, service, price, and portion. IMO they were excellent in all four and I will definitely be going back.
I really wanted some Thai food so I chose Sumalee's on the recommendation from a neighbor and it was pretty good!
I called in a take out order and the wait was lengthy (45 minutes) which makes sense as some Asian restaurants are closed on Sundays. I arrived after the 45 minute wait, I was told it would be another 10 minutes due to the amount of orders. The kitchen was fully staffed and working hard so it wasn't their fault. In those 10 minutes, there were at least 7 orders that were picked up so they were slammed.
My family ordered some staples. Phad Thai, Phad See Ew, and some Pineapple Fried Rice. Of course thai food wouldn't be complete without some Thai iced tea! Overall we all had positive reactions to everything we ordered. It hit the spot!
You can order online for delivery or pick up through Doordash but of course there is that premium upcharge. I compared both menus and, for instance, the Phad Thai was $2 more and I would have been doing the pick up! Easier to call your order in and get it at price.
It's located by a bar so the parking lot can get pretty busy and full so be prepared to drive around to look for spots if it's in the evening.
Stopped in for lunch, gluten free chicken pad Thai, and satay chicken. Spicy #2. Meal was pleasant. Noodles were a little thicker than what I have gotten else where but good.
Staff and service were great. My water was filled several times. Stop in and get some good food.
Great service, chef and waitress were really attentive and chill ensuring a pleasant dining experience. I had the duck curry nice tender fatty it's was delicious. And the curry sauce itself, was just about as perfect as you can get. Every season paired nicely working together creating a delicious creamy mouth orgasm.
For location, I was surprised at the quality and definitely recommend
Friend got the lamb it was just as delicious and tender
We are also spice heads and they hooked it up so delicious.
