Having just recently grown to love Thai food I have been wanting to experiement with some new places and decided to check out reviews on Citysearch. Chaba Thai came up as one of the best so when my parents came into town for a visit we decided to check this place out. I was hoping the place lived up to the reviews but it FAR exceeded them. There were six adults and one 5 year old and we ordered seven items and shared family style. The food came quickly and each dish was amazing! We all were raving with the little time we weren't stuffing our faces and ummming and ahhhing through each fork full. I may be a novice to Thai but my parents are not, having eaten at countless places from Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Portland, and across the US and they said it was the most conistantly best food dish to dish they had ever eaten so that says alot. It is small but we did not have a wait at 6pm on a Friday night. Busy and loud but for a group of seven it was ideal. Our food came quickly, even with a steady stream coming in for take-out. I know others here have posted about bad service but I did not see that. They are hurried but friendly typical asian restaurant atmosphere. I would NEVER have found this place if it weren't for this site and I am so thankful, it is our new favoitie resaurant. The Pineapple Fried Rice was to die for as was the Pad Thai. I am not a fish eater but everyone else raved about the Sea Bass as the best they had ever eaten. Can't reccomend this place enough!
Pros: Amazing Food, nice clean dining room, quick service, family friendly.
Cons: Street parking only (but we found a spot easy), no kids menu for picky eaters.
