Customer Reviews
“ The best authentic Thai food in town in Bellingham. Good atmosphere, good service, delicious food, Value for money, Great ingredients that what I could say. I love the red curry with duck and Thai style omelet. ”
“ Our friends who live in Bellingham took us for Lunch at Wanida Thai Bistro. We really like it. The restaurant decorated nicely. The atmosphere was nice and warm. There was also a Bar that we heard about nice cocktails, but for uns it was a bit too early to try the cocktails. There are a nice selection of Thai food on the menu. We were there for lunch and had enjoyed the food very much. The staff are very friendly and you don't have to wait too long for the food. We recommended this restaurant. Visited on: Aug.2025 ”
“ So yummy!! We switch between both locations, this one definitely has more of a contemporary look and feel than their Dupont street spot. The lunch combo (curry, pad Thai and rice for $19) is usually my go-to and a generous portion, I usually only eat half which is plenty and then get to have a second meal w/ the leftovers!! :) ”
“ The food was really good! A lot of options which was nice and plenty of vegetarian choices! I would recommend to people who like Thai food :) ”
“ This is another place we liked so much that we went back twice for dinner during out 2 weeks in Bell. The prices are a trifle steep, but the portions are generous -- so much that we were able to split one entree (Kapow Kai Dow) and one app (Fresh Rolls) and we had plenty to eat. And the very nice and competent people working here (Cassiel, then Lizette served us) had no problem with our sharing. We are pro-spicy, but 3/5 for the Kapow Kai Dow was plenty for us. Also, be sure to ask for the spice tray, that includes plenty of fish sauce and other bespoke condiments. They also have a good selection of draft beer, and plenty of free parking. ”
“ The food and cocktails here are excellent! I had the Thai tea martini and the pork belly pad Thai and it was all delicious. Their spicy scale was a bit more gentle than other places, but they brought out a couple chili powders/pastes for adding additional spice, which was appreciated. We had no complaints with the service, everything was quick and friendly and the waiter was attentive. But, aside from offering a plastic water cup, we did not find the bistro to be very kid-friendly. Our toddler just ate off of one of the appetizer plates, which worked out fine really. Giving five stars because the food and service was excellent, but we were unpleasantly surprised to find the gratuity added to the check automatically. We do not prefer this method, but we would have tipped 20% anyway, so we left the total as it was printed on the check. ”
“ Wow! Amazing place, I was in town visiting friends, and I was craving Thai. The Tom Kha alone was worth the trip! I haven't had a good Tom Kha in a while this was a great surprise! For the entree we had the Garlic lovers (beef) and the Mixed vegetables. both were excellent. I can't wait to come visit again! ”
“ We came for lunch and waited pretty long to be sat for as empty as they were, but there was only one server. After seating service was great, so the knock is to the staffing decision, not the server. Both dishes were amazing with tons of meat included and even with chili oil seemed light. Will definitely return ”
