Whether it's green curry, Pad Thai, pineapple rice, spring rolls, sticky coconut rice, or green papaya salad, several restaurants in the Canyon Park area of Bothell, Washington, offer menus with food from Thailand. All are located just off Highway 405. Although it's usually known for its vivid spiciness, Thai food is actually a combination of five tastes: hot or spicy, sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, although bitter is less common.
Open at its current location in the Canyon Park Shopping Center since 2000, D-Thai offers a typical Thai menu: Pad Thai, ginger scallops, five kinds of curry, fried rice with eight ingredients, including pineapple, spring rolls, and chicken satay. D-Thai doesn't take reservations but has takeout, catering, and happy hour specials some days. It is closed Sundays.
