Chontong Thai Cuisine - SeaTac

Wonderful food and a fantastic atmosphere! It was a relaxed yet high-quality dining experience. The food was incredibly delicious. We both enjoyed our dishes, Pad Thai and red curry! The spice level was just right—not too overwhelming. I was also impressed by how quickly the food was served. The decorations and ambiance were delightful as well. Overall, it was an excellent meal that left us both feeling great for the rest of the evening!

Went for a quick dinner since we’re staying at an airport hotel we all really enjoyed the food. It was a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommend the Pad See Ewe and Garlic Chicken.

I was in a 6 hour long flight and stopped by since the car rental place is nearby. So delicious, it made traveling worth it. The hostess was so nice and welcoming. The place looks very zen and the food was amazing. Thank you for such a nice experience.

The food, however, was a mixed bag. I’m a fan of papaya salads, but the one I tried here didn’t taste fresh. I hesitate to criticize, given how lovely the elderly ladies serving us were, but the papaya and vegetables were more tough than crispy. Additionally, the sauce seemed pre-made, perhaps from a couple of nights prior, with an overly fishy and sour taste that was almost off-putting. We each took one scoop and didn’t go back for more. On a brighter note, the calamari appetizer was fantastic—hot, fresh, and with the perfect chewy texture. While the dipping sauce tasted like a standard bottled sweet chili sauce, I think there’s potential for a more inventive pairing. The Kee Mao Noodles were too sweet and oily for my taste, lacking the presence of sufficient vegetables. The portion was also smaller compared to other Thai restaurants I frequent, so I wouldn’t order that dish again. The Dungeness crab fried rice, on the other hand, was delightful and a standout favorite. They serve the crab atop the rice, allowing you to mix it to your liking. I suspect the use of MSG in this restaurant, as I began experiencing tightness in my chest and allergy symptoms about 20 minutes after eating; this usually happens to me at some Chinese places when they use excess MSG, which I believe was present in the crab fried rice. My reaction leads me to believe there was a significant amount of it in the food. In conclusion, while the service was attentive and friendly, and the location is ideal for meeting friends near the airport, the food was hit or miss. Personally, I wouldn’t go out of my way to dine here again, as I know of better Thai restaurants that do my favorite dishes more satisfactorily. However, if you find some dishes here that you enjoy, you may have a decent experience.

The place was basically empty and it took an extra 35 min from when they said it'd be ready. I sat at the bar and waited and half the time the chef was eating the food with her bare hands and preparing the food at the same time. The server was also preparing food with bare hands and then going back out to help the customers. I never saw anyone wash their hands. It was good food, flavorful but I only got 4-5 bites in and my stomach hurt.
