Excellent Thai in Bellevue
Being one of my most favorite type of food, I must say that I have been longing for some good thai food for quite some time after living in pittsburgh for over a year now. And Chantanee didn’t disappoint. It’s been mentioned as a local favorite that is hard to find, but when people do, they’re glad they made the effort.
They have a long extensive menu that you can see for youself on their website and you can order every dish up to 5 levels of hotness. I chose 3 “hot” and it wasn’t too bad. Next time I may try 4.
And if you know your thai food, you can also make requests for any dish and the chef will make it special for you. (it’s a family owned restaurant so it’s got a nice homey feel)
Dishes I tried:
Beef Salad
I recently discovered the beauty of beef salad and I loved this one. Must try, it’s not as whimpy as you think!
Crispy Garlic Chicken (King’s Favorite)
Oh, you gotta get this…The chicken is great and they don’t batter it up too much. Served over a crispy bed of deep fried basil leaves the aroma is wonderful!
Golden Prawns
A bit over battered and the prawns were split in a weird manner.
Pad Thai
pretty decent for pad thai. I haven’t had fresh seafood in a while, so the shrimp in this was quite good.
Satay
awesome appetizer. I would get this for myself, it’s so goooood! Oh yeah, the peanut sauce for dipping is lipsmackin’ good.
