I don't normally write reviews, but felt compelled to do so in this case. I have tried this restaurant in the past and did not have a very good experience (the food was very bland). Recently I decided to order take out and thought I'd give this place another try based on the reviews I saw here. Once again I was very disappointed with the quality of the food. The fresh spring rolls were tasteless and the chicken Phad Thai is the worst I have ever had. The noodles were very slimy and although I had ordered chicken, the dish had a bad seafood taste to it. I could only take a few bites before I had to throw the meal out. Trust me I'm not very hard to please when it comes to food and am rarely critical of restaurants. If a basic such as Phad Thai can't be prepared well, how is this place getting such great reviews? Pros: Fast delivery Cons: Poor food quality

Very extensive menu at this yummy Thai restaurant. I loved my vegetable tofu wok. You can add tofu to any dish so that is awesome in my book. Everyone just raves about the pad thai here!

After too many disappointing meals at Thai-ku in Ballard, my boyfriend and I were so thankful to find Djan's in Wallingford! The atmosphere is quiet and cute (votive candles, fresh flower arrangements on every table), the service is polite and attentive, and the food is delicious! We have both since taken our family and friends for dinners there and no one has been disappointed. My favorites are the green curry and the noodle dishes!I am always surprised that this place isn't busier, but I don't mind not having to wait for a table. Pros: Cute atmosphere, Tasty food

When I used to live in Wallingford, I would eat at or order from Djan's all the time. The food here is consistently delicious and well-prepared. I've tried quite a few things that it's hard to choose a favorite dish, but my top two choices include their house signature dish called djan's fusion noodle. It's a combination of phad kee mao and phad thai and the hybrid of the two dishes together is divine! I would recommend ordering it with the fat, wide noodles instead of the skinny phad thai noodles it's normally served as. The Garlic Lover is also a great choice - a hearty mix of your choice of meat with perfectly stir-fried vegetables married in a delectable oyster, soy sauce gravy. If you order rice, I would suggest to dunk it in the leftover sauce of this dish. My boyfriend LOVES their curry chicken skewers off of their appetizer menu and orders them about 90% of the time. Although I normally get their food to-go or have it delivered, when I have dined here, I have loved the service (everyone is always considerate and kind) and the atmosphere is simple, but welcoming. I love how it was once a previously owned house. The upstairs provides private dining and is quite charming. One of the few Thai places I actually go to regularly. Pros: Service, ambiance, food

I'm trying to think of a better word for it, but this place is just cool. I can't believe it is still such a hidden gem. It is right on 45th, just across from a popular tanning salon and the jiffy lube. Djan (the Thai word for moon, I believe) is very stylish, both in the food they serve and the atmosphere they've created. They have all of the Thai favorites, but they put a little creative spin on them. A signature dish is their Fusion Noodles, which are a mix of pad thai and pad kee mao, with jalapeños thrown in (very very spicy!). The decor, like the food, is fresh and inspired. The restaurant is actually a converted house and the decor is all white. Instead of being stark, it is charming and contemporary. They warm the space with votives and a few bright yellow flowers at each table. Even the silverware is fresh and modern. Upstairs they feature a private Thai-style dining room that you can book for special events. There is a small parking lot in the back, but you could also easily find street parking nearby. This would be a great date spot, since the prices are really reasonable and the small tables are perfect for conversation. As another reviewer commented, they also have a great take-out service.

this restaurant just gives off a great vibe. not to mention that the food is very well prepared, and the service is excellent. the interior has a very minimalist and clean feel. i had gone here prior to their remodel, and i love it just as much--if not more, now. I appreciate the homey feeling of this restaurant, as you are aware that the cooks are just in the next room (or what you would imagine was originally the kitchen in this house). I will continue to dine here for years! It's so quaint and unique! Cons: street parking

we had a group of six, so we were seated in the private room upstairs. the service was excellent - very polite, very attentive. the food was pretty good but nothing really stands out. if you sit upstairs, you have to sit on cushions and the guys complained about not having something to lean on and how they couldn't stretch their legs. there is a small parking lot in the back of the house-like restaurant. Pros: good service, food, ambiance Cons: parking

We were initially surprised by this house-like place. But once you go inside, the ambience really surprise you. The colors are warm and trendy. Very clean and homey place. The menu is great, though I won't try the weird stuff like samurai pud thai. Stick with the menu items with NORMAL names. Their coconut chicken soup and green curry are particularly AWESOME! Their papaya salad isn't too authentic though. Pros: Good taste, Great value, Good ambience Cons: N/A
