This used to be one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Seattle area until we encountered r oaches on the walls. We were seated at the farthest table away from the front door, ordered our dinner and proceeded to chow down. Not so long later the first r oach started to rub elbows with us on the wall so I smashed him with my paper napkin. Later on, another r oach appeared so at this which point we notified the waiter/server but it didn't even phase him. Then the third r oach appeared and...............three strikes your are out! We yelled out to the server, there are r oaches in this place. We requested a comp to off-set this unpleasant situation and all Thai Tom offered us was a Thai iced tea. Why would I want a freaking Thai iced tea when it is raining outside? Mr. Server refused to offer a discount on our food stating it would come out of his paycheck. Well guess what Mr. Server, did they reduce your paycheck for the chicken dish you mistakenly brought over to table. I think not. I reviewed the Seattle and King County Env. Dept. restaurant records on-line and I realized this restaurant has continually violated the County health guidelines. Maybe it will take the County shut down of Thai Tom doors before your violations have been corrected. I wonder if the real reason the food at Thai Tom has been so yummy is because tiny r oach bodies have been ground up within its food. What are you really eating? Thai Tom, get your act together and clean up those r oaches.
