Typhoon! Redmond

This place used to be good a year ago, but not so anymore. The past several times I've come to eat here have been very disappointing. The phad thai is almost tasteless, no spice, and they don't ask you how many stars you'd like. We are only given water if we ask for it, and the waitress did not refill our drinks at all. The prices are way too high for the bland food you are getting, and doesn't include any rice. The swimming rama consisted of soggy lettuce and no spinach, and only a few small pieces of chicken which I was charged extra for. It's very clear that all the effort at this restaurant went into the decorations instead of the food or service. I will not eat here again ever. Look around for a more authentic Thai restaurant.

Food here is quite good. My favorite is the basil curry with tofu...delicious. Yellow curry and the King's curry is good too. During the fall and winter seasons, they offer the pumpkin soup which is lip smackingly good. I love the fried banana dessert.

Service here is quite spotty. If you are lucky, you will get a great waiter...other time, you get a terible one and have to suffer long waits and messed up orders.

This is my first time to Typhoon! We had a large party of 12 people for Dinner last Saturday night. Our waitress was attentive and patient. Which is sometimes tough with such a large group. The decor is well done, modern, yet colors are warm and inviting. The menu has a large variety of Thai style cuisine to choose from and a huge tea menu. We all ordered something a little different and shared plates. For the most part the flavors were well done. The chicken entrees tended to be quite dry. The Forget-me-not curry with pork was tender and flavorful. The crab phad thai wasn't the best I ever had, but was acceptable. Salmon was well executed. The Chicken Curry was dry and not as flavorful as I would have liked. The Tom Yum Goon soup had a nice lemony flavor and a spicy kick, but there were only 3 prawns in it and the chopped chicken was dry. It doesn't look too appetizing when it comes to the table either. The potstickers were tasty. You have your choice of white or brown rice. After hearing about the Espresso creme brulee we had a couple of orders. It was tasty, but there was barely a hint of coffee flavor. Still worth eating though! Overall we had a nice dining experience, but I'd stick to the basics when ordering.

This had to be the worst Thai food I have ever tasted - and I have eaten in a lot of Thai restaurants. My wife ordered halibut, which was dry and overcooked and served with a sour sauce that tasted like vinegar and cilantro. She actually felt sick after she got home. My masaman beef dish looked like beef stew, except for the lack of vegetables except for a few carrots. The prices were very high too. I don't mind paying high prices if the food is excellent - but this was terrible. By the way, the parking is non-existant because of the nearby movie theater. I won't be back here ever, even though it is the closest Thai restaurant to my home.

Typoon! in Redmond is one of the best Thai resturants I have been in. It is well known for its delicious food, elegant and romantic atmosphere, and the coconut/mango ice cream :o) Though Redmond is not the best place for dining, Typoon! makes it all a little better...
