Benjarong Thai Cuisine

My favorite kind of food to eat is Thai. I love trying and finding new restaurants. I want to be fair in my review so I gave them 2 stars. While I appreciated the service I was not a big fan of the food. We ordered Tom Kha soup, Garlic Chicken and Panang Curry with a side of white rice. The garlic chicken was great, however the rice was overcooked and lacking the appropriate flavor I would expect from jasmine rice. The flavors in the soup were over powered by the flavor of fish sauce it was way to salty. I expect more sweetness from the lemon grass and ginger. The curry was terrible. I want my curry to be bold and powerful. With a full array of flavors. When I put my curry over my rice I lost all flavor of the curry. I had to drown my rice in curry sauce so where it was more like a soup just to taste it. I wish the food was more to our liking seeing as this is the only Thai Restaurant in Covington. We will not be patronizing this establishment again. more

I love thai food but this was by far the worst tasting food and slowest service ever. i will NOT go back! more

I use to frequent this restaurant as the food is always GREAT and the wine cellar SUPERB. However, every time I have visited this restaurant I have been ignored, even if I was the only person in the restaurant. Noone waits on you, you have to approach the desk where the waitresses are constantly visiting to place your order and to pay for your dinner. This HORRIBLE SERVICE seems to be focused on female patrons. When a man comes in they jump to attention and immediatelly wait on him. Although I love the food; I will never be back. Pros: I loved the food and wine selections at this restaurant Cons: This was the worse service I have ever had in my life! more

I usually go to eat here with friends but decided to take home their basil chicken today. Are you kidding me? Flavorless, watery, and and just terrible. I would have given it 1*, but my past experience was always good. At least I got more brown rice than usual so now I can eat it with scrambled eggs in the morning. Pros: Nice decor, friendly Cons: Take out not as good as dining in more

We have been searching for a really good place to eat near Maple Valley, Covington area and we have finally found it at Benjarong Thai Cuisine! They truly serve some of the best Thai food we have ever had in the Seattle area. We love the Fresh Rolls with Peanut Sauce and the Curries are all good; actually we haven't found anything here we don't like. The prices are reasonable too. Pros: Classy decor, not cheesy like some Asian restaurants, delicious quality ingredients in dishes. Cons: Can't think of any! more

Great Thai food ! Great food and customer service. The Garlic / Basil chicken is awesome. Sorry for a short review, but now I'm hungry!! :) Pros: Local to Covington! more

First time review here on CitySearch. I read the reviews here and I HAD to post after we ate. Pros: Amazing food, great service, charming ambience Cons: The prices are a little high more

I don't think that the person writing the bad review has ever eaten at this restaurant because I am Thai and the food was absolutely fantastic!!! I felt like I was back home again since I came to Seattle. There are so many Thai places to choose from in this city and Benjarong is among the top 5 I have visited since I moved here. The ingredients are fresh and wholesome. I had the asparagus shrimp and it was incredibly healthy, not greasy at all, and the shrimp and asparagus tasted like they had been harvested that morning!!! DELICIOUS!!! The food was hardly greasy and my family and I ate every morsel put in front of us. I highly recommend this restaurant for those looking for a fantastic meal that was VERY reasonably priced with a great ambience. Pros: Lots of parking, great neighbourhood Cons: well liked so you may have to wait 5 minutes for a table!!! more

Talk about overpriced, crappy Thai food! The decor is pretty and the atmosphere is nice, but that must be what you are paying for because it's certainly not at all what I consider great Thai food at all. The food was greasy and bland particularly the Phad Thai. Trust me you are better off sticking to Seattle when it comes to Thai. My money is far better spent at Racha, Thai Ginger, or Tup Tim Thai where I get what I pay for! Pros: ambiance Cons: overpriced, greasy, bland more

This resturant is located right next to the new Kohl's in Covington. It's great for lunch after a long day of shopping. The decor is elegant, down to the very last detail. I'm vegetarian, and I was happy to see there is a special vegetarian section of the menu. There are plenty of options for everyone - tofu, chicken, beef and seafood. The tofu pad thai is excellent, the best I've had! This resturant is the best kept secret in the Kent/Covington area! It's better than Simply Thai at Southcenter. I will be going back very soon! Pros: Location, Value, Food, Service more

Food was wonderful! The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone that is picky about there thai food. Pros: Ambience, great food. more
