Brief: Delicious Flavors, Friendly Servers, and a Warm, Welcoming Environment This is a UW Gem, the flavors are fresh, seasoned well, and cute little location. We've been here at least half a dozen times and their offerings are pretty unique. I personally like the Roti and Satay a lot! We always order a round of Gyoza (especially at happy hour!) This time we had Pad See Eiw (beef), Yellow Curry (chicken), and Garlic Fried Rice (subbed to have brown rice with beef!) Service is overall friendly and the townhome it's built into is very comfy. You can't really hear the street either; I think you'll like it!

Came last hour before closing and we were quickly seated. Staff was very nice. The place is very cozy and homey. Food was good! Recommend trying the garlic fried rice with beef I'm a sugar cane girlie so the sugarcane+lychee drink was so good Even if you don't come in person, try ordering takeout!

I ordered take out via Uber eats. I was in the mood for Pad Thai so I got that and wanted to try the Krapao. Added in the lychee cheesecake just because. I'm so happy I ordered from this place. The Pad Thai was perfect. Sometimes when I get Pad Thai take out it's dry but that wasn't the case here. The portion was large too. Flavorful, spicy and sticky! Loved it. The Krapao was good! I like that it came with over medium egg. I usually like Krapao with pork and this was with chicken but it was yummy. The only disappointment was the lychee cheesecake. It was just a plain NY cheesecake slice and was probably previously frozen. I still ate it because it was good! But it just wasn't lychee flavored or have any lychee fruit alongside it. So one star was taken off because of that. But I would def order here again when I'm in Seattle.

Only got take out here and ordered the pad see ew with extra noodles. The food was tasty, but the extra noodles seemed to be added without any extra sauce so overall the flavor was good, but we would have liked more. In general Djan's came recommended and I fully intend on coming back to try it again.

I just want to say I love this restaurant I order from here regularly and as a vegan you can't go wrong w their fried rice! Just make sure you specify the dish is vegan and they will happily accommodate! Also don't forget to ask for tofu if you want that as your protein if you're ever doing a group order. I've been coming here for years and still very happy w their product.

This place has a cute and welcoming vibe and a pretty dining room. There is also a huge patio out back! The menu includes all of the things you are probably expecting plus a few more unusual noodle dishes. I would also say they have more veggie options than is typical at a thai place, with most of the appetizer menu being vegetarian in addition to the usual noodle and curry dishes. They also have quite an extensive salad list. On this visit, I branched out from my typical favorites to try the flat noodle with special yellow curry and was glad I resisted the urge to go for my tried & true. Overall, the dishes were flavorful, the noodles were fresh, and the dishes were not drenched in oil. Service was a little slow so this wouldn't be my pick if I were in a huge rush since that seems to be a fairly common comment.
