My fave food while in Seattle - Edit
I've only been in Seattle for 5 days but this was the highlight in terms of vegan food! The food was delicious and wholesome. The pad see-ew and pad Thai are both excellent. The coconut ice cream with mango and sticky rice was also superb!

Good food and a cute spot - Edit
My first visit the restaurant was decorated for spooky season, which I love; cute spot in general. I get the devil wings every time - they’re spicier than j expected (a good thing) and I’m obsessed🌶️🍄🟫

Amazing Vegan Thai Food - Edit
Ate at Kati twice this past weekend (and twice the last time I visited two years ago). Incredibly delicious vegan Thai food! Their menu is inventive and diverse. I'd love to try almost everything on it. Had the Coastal Curry with Artichoke Hearts and the Pumpkin Curry with Tofu. The former a yellow curry and the latter a red curry. Both outstanding with fresh ingredients and amazingly tasty curries. Purple rice is very nice as was their Thai Iced Coffee. The richness of flavor in the curries is a highlight, as was the fresh vegetables and tofu. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Excellent!

Date night - Edit
Beautiful, delicious food and fast, friendly service. The tofu satay with peanut sauce was really good. My husband really enjoyed the garlic jackfruit with sticky rice. Entrees were delicious and large portions, we took home leftovers.
Read moreVery clean and aesthetically pleasing environment. Even though the seating felt a little cramped it wasn't loud. Still felt intimate and easy to hear each other but not our neighbors.

The first thing I noted about Kati's, was its sweet ambience. Great lighting, lovely vibe, the wait person was kind, and the smell was awesome!

Authentic, delightful - Edit
Great selection of Thai main stay along with some creative dishes. Tried the angel wings and devil wings for appetizer and pad Thai, eggplant Larb, pineapple fried rice for main dishes. The angel/devil wings were easily the star of the meal… Very different flavors of the same ingredients, but both were equally delicious. The pineapple fried rice has a twist on the traditional… it has a slight hint of curry flavor. Eager to try crispy garlic jackfruit next time. Was there on Thursday night and it was packed… Great atmosphere, excellent service. Highly recommend.

Cons: Pad Thai was just ok

Awful food, awful service - Edit
Curry was watery and flavorless. Service was the worst I’ve ever experienced. DO NOT RECOMMEND, unless you like disrespect and wasting your money. Only gave 2 stars because the Happy Cow rating system forced me.

Flavorful, fresh, hot - Edit
Second time here. Love the atmosphere of this place. We started with Devil wings (oyster mushrooms) which were really good and spicy. Then we split the Pad Keemao (drunken noodles) and Khai Soi (curry). Both were very good. Staff here is always so friendly and willing to give recommendations. The food is always hot when it arrives, and tastes so fresh. Highly recommend!

Incredible from start to finish - Edit
A stunning meal and fantastic service. All menu options looked spectacular and the worst part of the experience was knowing I couldn't try every menu option but I did get lots of ideas for what to try to recreate at home. The fried mushroom starter was probably a highlight but just a great meal from beginning to end.
Read morePros: So many option that all looked incredible, Nice atmosphere, Quick service and friendly staff
Cons: I couldn't order everything on the menu ;)

Great find! - Edit
I’ll recommend the Kati Pho. Delicious and warmed up my stomach on a cold day. The Devil Wings were a tad too spicy and salty to my liking, may be better to pair it with beer. Prices are reasonable and service was good.

Fantastic food, but other reasons for only 4star - Edit
The food was really delicious. Now I understand why this place comes so highly recommended! Everything we had was tasty. The crunchy jackfruit was really amazing and reminded me of crab cake flavor.
Read moreThe reasons for losing a star:
It is ridiculously loud. This is especially annoying for me bcz I feel like my voice doesn't carry and I end up needing to yell to be heard. They need sound clouds or something.
We were #3 on the automated wait-list and estimated wait time was 10-15mins. We waited for over 30mins (I think it was closer to 45). The staff started to realize after we checked in to make sure there wasn't a glitch. Staff tried to take our orders quickly.
All restaurants are expensive, but I would say they are about 20% more than most.
Pros: The food is amazing , It's all vegan
Cons: It's REALLY loud in there, Automated wait-list gave very inaccurate wait time

Delicately spiced Thai food - Edit
My friend and I were hungry early on a weekday, so we stoped by Kati Vegan Thai right when it opened. We were expecting a good meal, but were still surprised by the overall quality. The flavors were delicate and nuanced, and even standard dishes like Pad Thai had a slightly distinctive take. It's the best Thai I've had in a while.

Delicious Thai Food!!!! - Edit
Went here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised! Everything I tasted was delicious! The garlic jackfruit appetizer was delicious! Perfect amount of crunch and the chewiness from the sticky rice balances out the textures perfectly. The chuchi artichoke with rice was delicious as well. Will definitely come back here to try their other menu offerings!

Everything on point 🥭 - Edit
This place is all around awesome! Fully vegan elevated Thai classics. Tried the sweet and sour cashew, which is a stir fry with pineapple and tofu, and the pad keemao, a drunken noodle dish— both were excellent. Appetizer options seemed inventive. Great fruity cocktails and interior vibe.

Great vegan Thai - Edit
This restaurant has it all. Good, cozy atmosphere, service and delicious vegan items. Everything is vegan and the only thing I would say is that it is a bit pricey. We only go here for a special event to celebrate. I wish it was better priced to attract more people to really good vegan food.

Best Thai food in Seattle - Edit
I always make sure to visit Kati every time I’m in Seattle. The Tom Kah soup is my favorite and is so fresh! Also love the garlic jackfruit on crispy rice, the angel wings, pot stickers, pineapple fried rice and pho. The portions are all super generous so definitely recommend sharing a couple of dishes.
