One of the best Thai food I've had in the states. Love the crying tiger steak, we asked for medium rare but because the steak was not even in thickness so we got all kinds of doneness but it was well marinated so it didnt matter and was still tender. Also loved the mushroom fritters and grilled pork jowl. Also highly recommend the curry custard. The lemongrass wings and durian sticky rice were pretty good too. Wished the lemongrass smell was stronger. The durian was warm which is new to me but it was good for sharing. The so so would be the crab fried rice because the rice was kind of soggy and not separated. Not as fragrant as well. Overall still one of the best Thai food I've been to so would love to come back another time.

Tina was an amazing waitress, friendly and knowledgeable about traditional Thai food- she's moving to CA in a few months. Everything we ordered was unique, fresh, wonderfully seasoned, and wish we could've licked the plate. We thanked the Latino cooks in the back for such exquisite cuisine and they welcomed it with smiles. Best Thai food we've had in a long time, and we have quite the variety in Northern California. Highly recommend this place!

Isarn has been one of my go-to Thai spots in the area for years. My family and I come here a lot and our favorites include the Phad See Ew, Crab Fried Rice, Northern Style Sweet Curry, and Squid with Salted Egg Yolk. Isarn has excellent service, the restaurant is very beautiful and full of Thai decorations, and consistent food. My boyfriend and I came here on Friday night and were seated promptly at the bar. I love the Kirkland location because it is near the water and has an open layout where the whole front doors/windows are open - perfect for summer. We ordered the Lychee Martini ($9), Phad Khee Mao with Chicken ($14.95), Hat Yai Fried Chicken ($15.50), Thai Grilled Beef Salad ($18.75), and a side of Sticky Rice ($2.50). The lychee martini was refreshing and not too sweet. The Phad Khee Mao was very flavorful and unique because they use kaffir, although I do think the Phad See Ew is a bigger portion. The Thai Grilled Beef Salad was also solid, I wish it had more roasted rice powder, lime and fish sauce but it was still delicious and refreshing! Would recommend eating this with sticky rice. The Hat Yai Fried Chicken was also pretty good, we loved the chili sauce and the crispy outside, but the inside was a tiny bit too dry. Overall, a great experience and I will continue to come back to Isarn!

This is like my number one Thai spot in Kirkland. I love going here. Their food is just always so good. I've rotated through their menu pretty well and have to say, nothing has disappointed me. Their fried rice is like the best, you gotta try it. Ambience is great, my style of restaurants. Modern with a flare of character. Drinks are good too. Only thing I wish is they did online waitlist or reservations for 4 people. Going on a weekend for dinner is rough since the wait is always so long.

Isarn Thai Kitchen in Kirkland is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Seattle area. The flavors are unique, and every dish tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The Kirkland location can get busy in the evenings, so it's a good idea to make a reservation. Despite the crowd, the customer service is decent, and the food comes out fast. There's also a decent amount of indoor seating. If you love Thai food or want to try something new, I highly recommend Isarn Thai Kitchen. You won't be disappointed!

SO GOOD. 100% reasonable prices, fast service and plenty of food. I went to the Queen Anne location (will be reposting this review for that location too) on Saturday and then was completely ok with going back again to the Kirkland location on Wednesday! I think they recommend family style but both times we just did individual because different dietary restrictions around the table and I had enough food to take home and have for lunch the next day. Also got drinks for happy hour the sparkling lychee and tuk tuk thai tea and those were good

Isarn is the best! The curries are the best I've ever had. If you like mushrooms you mush try the mushroom fritters they are addictive. Soooo good. The Kirkland location is really cute inside. Cocktail menu is pretty good and service is always friendly

4.5 Stars I love this chain. There is a combination of unique, authentic dishes and your classic (pad thai, pad see ew, etc.). They really nail the flavors on everything. Phuket Pork Belly Stew ($16.5) - delicious with large, fatty pieces of protein. Coconut Drink ($14.5) - Delicious and fun, served in a coconut so you can scoop the meat out afterwards. Beautiful interior, loved the ladies on the staff :)
