We drive up and down I-5 fairly regularly to visit family and are on the lookout for little independent places that serve decent food at reasonable prices. This joint fills the bill.Let's start with the driving directions. You take Exit 147 and drive west on 272nd Street for about half a mile. You turn left onto Pacific Highway (staying in the right lane) and immediately turn right into the strip mall parking lot. When leaving, you can drive through the parking lot and on to 272nd to return to I-5. It couldn't be easier.What does the restaurant offer besides this convenient location? Good food, nicely served, at very reasonable prices is what.The friendly owner served us, and we chose a simple meal of pot stickers, Basil Beef, and Pad Kee Mao, washed down with Singha Beer. We asked for 4/5 spicy (we always say "but not THAI spicy") and it was just about right for us. It was also promptly and attractively presented. We were in and out in a relaxed 45 minutes.We're writing this for I-5 travelers, but we'd happily return here to eat our way down the menu - in fact, we'll consider it the next time we're anywhere near Exit 147. We're happy to recommend it to other travelers tantalized by Thai.

After hearing that ownership recently changed hands, we tried this restaurant which is located in a sort of out of the way strip mall. We were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the tasty cuisine, knowledgeable & efficient service, as well as the comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Having recently got back from Thailand wanting to share experiences with my fiance we decided to head off Bangkok Garden. After having a conversation with the owner and letting them choose what we should order I received stellar service. We actually ended up going back the very next day to try some different items we didn't have room for on the first day. I highly recommend this place it is one of my favorite places in Federal Way amazing food amazing service.

I've driven by this place for8 years and never gave it a thought. It's a small place and the outside stucco is painted an off-color florescent green that, in my opinion, makes it look pretty tacky. So when my Sister-in-Law took the family there to celebrate her other half's birthday, I was shocked once we were inside and looking through the menu. They not only had a huge selection to choose from, but the quantity was substantial, the cost was reasonable, and, when compared to other local Thai restaurants, the food was properly prepared. The sauces and curries were excellent, the spicy range was appropriate, and the cooks turned out top quality in a very reasonable time frame. The wait-staff kept a close eye on the table while staying clear until someone gave them a nod for additional service. The singular complaint I have is hey were out of "Coke" so I had to do "Sprite' instead.

Check out their menu online prior to your visit. It has many offerings and it could save you some time placing your order. Flavorful, generous portions that taste fresh and bright. Gracious, friendly service although it may take awhile to get your order, and they may not all arrive at the same time. Not a critique, just an observation. Clean, casual ambience. Pricing is appropriate for the quality of the food. The combo meal was a little disappointing, but that was probably my bad as I was not as familiar with offerings as I should have been. A bit off the beaten path but worth the trip.

What a pleasant surprise when I walked in to this restaurant selected by a friend I was meeting for dinner. Although it's in the middle of a very busy shopping center, you wouldn't know it once you're inside. The decor is tasteful and subtle and we were pleased to have a lovely private corner booth that allowed us to easily converse. The service was prompt and friendly, with multiple servers checking on us throughout our visit (all done unobtrusively and appropriately). Food was great as well - some of the best Thai rama sauce (peanut sauce) I've ever had. The menu is extensive and we both very much enjoyed our meals.
