Watching the chefs make the food right IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE... is the best part about eating at Thai Tom's. I don't know any other place in Seattle where you can watch the chefs at work in a small (& cheap) atmosphere.
The great prices, great food, and fun atmosphere... almost "soup nazi" in style, simply add to the fun & excitement of watching these chefs at work. You can feel the heat of the gas stoves and I almost always think I'm going to get splattered with hot oil...but somehow never do.
Lines are long but it's worth the wait and they move folks in and out so fast that you'll probably get in pretty quickly compared to most restaurant lines.
The other review on here saying that each meal will feed two people is not accurate, but it's plenty for one average person (or maybe two small people with small appetites). come on, it's like 6 bucks...what can you expect.
The pad thai is quite good but try something new...
