Not great, only OK. – Took my parents out to dinner to the Typhoon on Broadway. As it was raining outside, we rushed into the restaurant. Even though it was during dinner hours, the restaurant was not busy. The two hostess at the counter just looked at us and didn't even bother to greet us. I had to look over at them for good 30 seconds before one of them said hello, yet didn't bother to ask us anything else. I was the one who had to ASK if we could get a table for four. After being seated, our waiter was nice, but didn't sm... read more
I am embarrased for them! – Just got our order from the Delivery service, Tom Kha and Tom Yum-What an insult! The Coconut soup was just coconut milk with tons of salt and some over boiled chicken-Nothing else AT ALL in the way of traditional seasonings.The Tom Yum just had grainy shrimp and a few floating mushrooms-No Ginger, Lemon Grass,etc and no spice at all-The broth tasted like chicken soup. True, we did order Medium since when we get our Thai food closer in at a little Thai place medium is kickin' hot! I spent most of ... read more
zero for two meals- DO NOT EAT HERE! – I've never written a review for a restaurant, let alone a negative review.. an experience has to be particularly traumatic for me to be driven to write a poor review about it online. If they had a 'negative stars' option, that would've been it. We went to this restaurant because it was next door to our friend's hotel on Broadway, and because they had a separate vegan menu. Both of our "vegan" dishes, ordered from their separate menu, came out with animal products in them. The first was ... read more
Bad service, bad atmosphere, expensive, sub-par food – Do not ever, ever go to Typhoon. The service is terrible, close to abysmal. My last trip there, I was with one other person, on a slow Wednesday night. We ordered appetizers (chicken satay that showed up after the main course, were cold, and seemed to have been sitting there for a while), and two main courses (I had green curry, it was alright but the beef had the feel of shoe leather, and it was also cold). Our drinks took almost 20 minutes to come out (and tasted like ... read more
OverPriced and Under-Authentic, or: How to be an Americanized Thai Restaurant – "From humble beginnings on Northwest 23rd, Chef Bo Kline and Typhoon! have become icons of the Northwest food scene. " If I'm not mistaken, it was their downtown location that was there first. So, they are lying about their "humble beginnings". dont get me wrong, the food is good... But, its not that great. Ive had better food and service from Arawan Thai Cuisine on 82nd and Johnson Creek. In short, if you like overpriced, overly pretentious sett... read more
Business response:
Our 23rd location was the first location... it started in December 2005. I'm sorry if your expierence at Typhoon wasn't that great. We appreciate your business and hope you will come back. The Typhoon! Team
Beautiful presentation, but flavors were just okay. – After seeing their TV commercial and hearing them mention the finest ingredients used in their cooking, I wanted to give Typhoon! a try. The restaurant is very elegant and the lighting is relaxing. I ordered Pad Thai and it came to me in a very nice presentation. However, the flavors were bland and the consistency was not to my liking - kind of on the goopy and pasty side. You may be paying for the finer ingredients and presentation, but that's about it. I probably will n... read more
GREAT FOOD! – I love the food at this place! The restaurant is beautiful and the food is always fabulous! I'm super picky and they always get my very strange orders correct. Love it!
High prices, Inconsistant food, really small portions and okay staff – I love Thia food and have eaten at Typhoon many times. The food is sometimes good and sometimes just "okay". The spicy green beans are yummy, the yellow curry is good. Make sure you specify what veggies you do not like if you order the spicy veggie w/ crispy basil (it comes with fried tofu and many veggies like 2 kinds of mushrooms (and lots of them), baby corns, cauliflower, brocolli, green beans etc..)) Cashew Nut Chic is okay and you have to order and ... read more
very interpersonal... – I heard about Typhoon! through a friend who's husband loves to eat at during lunch. We both decided to go there last night and give it a try. We called about two hours ahead for a reservation, I know not a very good timing, but they said that they would be able to accomodate us. Right when we get in there the host went to go set up our table and then seated us all the while talking to us as if we knew eachother. LOVED it, felt like I was with people who were enjoying themselves versus just wanting to ... read more
