Sip Thai Zooom. Issaquah

Ive tried a couple of times and the take out servings are getting smaller and smaller. I will assume that 30 dollars should cover the cost of a couple fresh spring rolls of lettuce and a mediocre serving of drunken noodles lacking vegetables would be covered in any cost. Not happy with it.

The flavors were excellent, will be returning for sure!

Food tastes good, unfortunately not consistent. I ordered the pineapple chicken fried rice twice on two different occasions and last time had a more balanced taste of sweetness and savory but this time I tasted a bit of more pork fat than pineapple regardless I’d ordered it again. The rice was cooked very well. The onion, cashew, chicken, pineapple go well together. food here seems like art, and the chef the artist. You can taste and see that they cares about their craft. I also ordered the crab wontons and they looked like beautiful flowers. The details matter. The atmosphere lacks a main cultural decor. The pictures hanging seems like generic ikea pieces. Id rather see one or two culturally significant pieces of decor to feel like I’m in Thailand. I would come again if only for the service. The waitress is very friendly and professional. She cares about your dining experience and if you come alone she will make you feel like you’re a guest that visited her home but I saw her handle parties of four with no problem in such a tight space. Dine local, and lunch prices very reasonable! Low key place for office workers out for lunch.

The review is primarily based on food quality and value for money. Nearby thai restaurants like Noodle boat and Similan are way better than this place based on those factors. Service and atmosphere had much lower weightage for us but even those were of lower quality in comparison to nearby Thai restaurants. Example - we bought up one of the many issues with the food and they said they can't do anything about it. We ordered a bunch of dishes (Stir fry, noodles, curry & fried rice, Thai beverages). Unfortunately all dishes were lacking in flavor especially for the prices they charge. The noodles were soggy and bland. The stir fry was overrun with (soy?) sauce. The fried rice was lacking in any discernible flavor. The curry was watery and undercooked. Even the spice level requested got messed up. 1 star spice when we requested spicy (some of this we fixed by adding spicy sauce on top). Their thai beverages showcase crushed ice as the dominant ingredient and may be the primary source of taste as well. And they are ~half the quantity that we get in nearby places. Prices: We are happy to support local restaurants and pay significantly higher prices as inflation was rampant. But things have changed and prices should reflect that. And if Sip wants to charge higher prices compared to nearby Thai restaurants then their quality and quantity should reflect that. We will give it another shot and we hope the restaurant addresses these issues especially if there is a pattern here. If it was just a bad day in the kitchen then that is regretful.

Food was good but for amount the price was too expensive. We expected larger portions.

Nice Thai restaurant and super good food! Must try! You won’t be disappointed!

The best papaya salad so delicious! 😋 drunken noodles soo good! Excelent customer service, my favorite Thai place. Thank you for making fresh,great food!

Food were delicious! Staff were very friendly and helpful. I wish they have more space for dine in.

I've eaten lots of Thai food all across the U.S. and I believe I've just had the best papaya salad yet. It was delicious! I added some good chili crisps for some extra pop and I keep thinking about next time I'll order it. The Tom Yum was delish too!

Delicious food.

Tip1: Two tables in front, with the wait bar/counter directly facing early eve sun in hotter months. Tip2: Be very specific if you want to munch on your appetizers first, otherwise it will all appear together. A solid 4.4 stars for this Thai gem in downtown Issaquah, opened mid-2023. Clearly focused around takeouts, they have ~4 tables inside and a LARGE counter of sip-while-you-wait, with phone holders to boot 🙄. In short, everything was excellentbexcept for the below-par Penang Curry - sauce was thin and lacked coconut I think. Top marks to the "Drunken noodles" Pad Kee Mao and the Veg fried rice - we LOVED the fact that the dishes are SPICY, so expect your stock standard 3 stars to be closer to a 4 on the Thai scale around these parts. Did I mention this was the garlic-y-est green beans I have EVER had in my life? You have been warned. Will be back for sure to try out other goodies.
