Chao Praya, Kent, WA P117
 
This Thai restaurant is located in Kent, Washington at 212th and 84th Avenue. This is also the heart of Boeing Country. Boeing is why it will cost you a 30 minute wait if you show up between 11:00 and 12:30 weekdays. (Boeing engineers take early lunches).

The upside, is it is worth the wait. Like many Thai places, it is located in a strip mall, (along with 3 other asian restaurants). It seats 50 people maybe. But since the lunch crowd is early, if you delay your lunch to 1:00 pm, no problem.

The food is superb, spice is rated 1-4 stars. No MSG or other crap to kill you.  Just real food.

Prices are modest (lunch 6-9 dollars, dinner slightly higher) but the portions are generous.

I try and eat there at least once every couple of weeks. The best recommendation I heard, was a group of people who drive down from Everett (that's 60-70 minutes away) on a regular basis also.

Food gets an 'A', Service 'A', Prices 'A', atmosphere 'C' (what can you say, it is a strip mall)
