Aroy Mak Thai Food - Authentic Thai Cuisine in Seattle, WA

I’ve heard people talking about this restaurant for long time. It was really good as they said. The owner was really friendly and helpful. I ordered combo chicken, Chinese broccoli, green beans and their special Singapore chicken dish. Everything was perfect!! 100/10 Me and my mom so full but we wanna try Mango Ice Cream with sticky rice. Omg it was SO goodddd.

Aroy Mak is a very authentic Thai restaurant and uniquely has khao man gai, gai tod, and gai yang on their menu. I haven't seen any other Thai places nearby with these chicken dishes. The prices are on the higher end for local Thai restaurants, so I tried to stick with their more unique entrees instead of the standard curry and noodle dishes for my takeout order. I got the Combo Khao Man Gai + Gai Yang because I wanted to try as many of their chicken dishes as I could without ordering them separately. I should have added an order of gai tod to compare the combo against an individual order. The 2 different flavors of sauces which come with the chicken are addicting! I could dump those on plain rice and just eat that. I was extremely hungry and felt there wasn't enough chicken in the combo to share with another person unless I ordered other dishes for both of us. The $3 difference between combo and single orders doesn't seem to add up, but I'll be able to confirm it next time if I order just one chicken entree to compare. The small winter melon soup which comes with the chicken is very basic, but tasty and also rare to find in restaurants in the area. I've only seen and had a larger version of it on a past special menu at Secret Savory. I also ordered my first tom kha here. The ingredients list said it's chicken thigh, but the texture wasn't what I expected. It was more like the kind of chicken they use in fast casual Thai restaurants in the area. I was hoping they used the same kind as their Hainanese chicken - something smoother. I don't know why there's so much galangal and lemongrass left in the soup (maybe that's just how all tom khas are?), but I prefer them to be left out when served, so I don't have to strain and pick around them.

Ate at Aroy Mak for the first time this week. My wife is Thai and she really enjoyed the food there. For myself, I tried the Gai Yang Noodles (Thai northeast grilled chicken). I really enjoyed the chicken and signature spicy sauce. We also shared an order of the Corn Fritters and the Kanom Tuay (coconut milk pudding with pandan). The dessert was so good that it took us both by surprise and we both commented to each other how good it was. On top of the great food, the service was also superb. Easy 5/5, we will be back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I give this place 5 stars without any hesitation. Every single dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. The taste was exactly like eating in Thailand. Honestly, some dishes were even better than what you can find at some restaurants in Thailand. The fried items were crispy, fragrant, and not greasy at all, and the dipping sauces were perfect and authentic. The Khao Man Gai and green curry were incredibly flavorful, rich, and truly tasted like real Thai food. But what impressed me the most was the service. The Thai staff took care of me like family. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. It was an unforgettable experience. If I ever come back, I will definitely visit this restaurant again. I highly recommend this place to anyone who misses authentic Thai food. You will not be disappointed.

Super yummy Thai food! We ordered the chicken combo over rice with soup — some of us swapped the rice for noodles. The best combo, hands down, was the grilled and fried chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly — tender, crispy, and flavorful. The sauces were amazing, and they even had chili powder for anyone who likes an extra kick. The melon soup was light and refreshing. We also shared the corn fritters, which came in a large portion and were perfectly crunchy with bits of taro mixed in. For dessert, we had the pandan sticky rice with coconut cream — it was aromatic, slightly sweet, and absolutely delicious. Everything from the service to the food was amazing. I can’t wait to come back!

Using the word good for this Thai place honestly doesn’t do it justice, this spot is absolutely exceptional. Everything from the food to the drinks is amazing, but what truly sets this place apart is the people. The food is authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The chicken rice is a must-try, especially the grilled chicken, perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with real Thai flavors. Every dish I’ve had here has been consistently delicious and never disappointing. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They treat you like family from the moment you walk in, which makes the experience even more special. You can really feel the warmth and passion they have for both the food and their customers. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to, not just for the food but for the whole experience. If you’re looking for authentic Thai food, great drinks, and genuine hospitality, this place is an absolute must. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The food was very good, and the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. The restaurant is on the smaller side and clearly very popular, with many people waiting, which is great to see because they truly deserve the attention. That said, we did feel a bit rushed, as different staff members came by several times while we were still eating. Because of this, I ended up getting my dessert to go instead of enjoying it there. Overall, it’s a wonderful spot with great food and service, and I just hope that in the future guests can be given a little more time to fully enjoy their meals.

Hands down the best chicken rice I’ve had in the U.S.—and easily one of the top 3 spots for truly authentic Thai food in Seattle.! Can’t believe I didn’t know about this restaurant sooner! And you know it’s good when there’s always a big Thai family dining in The chicken is perfection: juicy, rich, and fatty in exactly the right ratio, packed with flavor in every bite. The sauces are the real deal—deep, balanced, and unmistakably authentic. You can taste the care and tradition behind them. And the rice? Fragrant, fluffy, and crave-worthy. My absolute favorite is the garlic fried rice! What really seals it for me is the consistency. I’ve been back multiple times, and every visit hits the same high standard. Huge portions, great price to ratio, tons of customization, and everything comes out fast despite how busy they get. Expect a line during rush hour but it’s 100% worth it. The service is excellent, attentive, and warm, and the owners are some of the sweetest people you’ll meet - especially Patty . They genuinely engage with you, offer thoughtful recommendations, and make you feel so welcome. Must-orders: Steamed & grilled chicken rice combo Chicken tendons (don’t skip these) Seasonal tom yum noodle soup And save room for dessert—fun, not overly sweet, and so good Pro tip: get the Thai ice cream This place is special. If you love real Thai flavors done right, this is a must-visit. Super, super recommended .
