Delicious! Timings are wrong here, open 930/10 depending - Edit
Open till 930 and 10 on Fri/Sat
Read moreReally enjoyed the coastal curry, pad thai was pretty solid. Many of the other options looked good as well. Nice indoor and outdoor space, bit on the smaller side.
Staff was a little ready to close ASAP, got there at 8:45 and was told we had 5 minutes for a table to open or they couldn't seat us (930 close) and were already cleaning out the bathrooms at 930. Not that big of a deal, but FYI.
Pros: Delicious , Decently priced

Fresh, abundant vegan dining - Edit
From start to finish, the dining experience was excellent. The food is fresh and not overcooked. It is also not greasy or salty. The seasoning and heat, chosen by staff, was just right. We had three entrees and two appetizers totaling $71 with tax for a dinner meal in 2021.
Read moreJackfruit pad prik; old-styled pad Thai; and curried fried rice were all delicious: same for spring rolls and pot stickers.
Service was excellent.
Pros: 100 percent vegan menu , Tofu available fried or soft, Service excellent
Cons: Bathroom contains stored furniture, limiting acces

YUM! - Edit
Ordered the green curry and kuay tiew kua gai (a Thai street noodle dish), both of the dishes were delicious, but I'm in love with those noodles, they were bursting with flavor. I'll be back for the noodles when I'm in Seattle again. Also the Thai tea was good.

Favorite vegan Thai - Edit
Love Kati Vegan Thai, can always count on the food to be delicious and fresh. My favorite is the tofu-pad Thai. Also love the jackfruit or tofu pineapple fried rice and garlic jackfruit sticky rice. Can’t wait to try more off the menu, but it’s hard when you want your favorite 😆

This was a nice option for a quick bite😄Overall, the dish was ok. I should have opted for jackfruit because the tofu was bland.

Glad to have another vegan thai optipn - Edit
Don't know how we missed hearing about this new vegan thai option. We are regulars at Araya and Kati complements their style with a slightly different style and seasoning so we will be regulars here now too. Also really appreciated the to go packaging is all compostable.
Read moreWe had the green curry, sweet and sour stir fry and pad thai plus both styles of rice and the mango sticky rice desert to make 2 meals at home. Would order any of these again for sure as everything was great but looking forward to working through the whole menu.
Easy parking in front for pickup in these covid times.
Pros: All vegan! Compostable to go packaging.

One of Seattle's more creative menus - Edit
I will say not everything has been perfect, but the menu is great and the variety is strong and everything is created with care. The ambiance is nice and there is often a wait.

Amazing flavors - Edit
This is my favorite SLU spot. Every dish I’ve tried has been flavorful and delicious. I only wish they had a bit more variety, but even that is a minor complaint since everything they offer is so tasty! I like their creative cocktails as well and love that they have bar seating (I need to make it a point to take advantage of that more!). Staff has always been friendly and wonderful.

So GOOD! I chose Kati for my birthday dinner and I was very satisfied!
Read moreThis is what we ordered:
Devil Wings
Angle Wings
Spicy Jackfruit on Sticky Rice
Fresh Rolls
Old Style Pad Thai
Pumpkin Curry
Everything was amazing and perfectly portioned! I could really tell that they use high quality ingredients and truly put love into each meal. What a gem of a restaurant! I took one non-vegan friend and he was super satisfied. We'll be back for sure.
Pros: Beautiful restaurant, Great service, Organic/quality food

Favorite place for special occasions - Edit
Kati remains my favorite Thai place! I haven’t experienced their buffet, but dinner is always wonderful here. Everything I’ve eaten here has been consistently great, and all of my omni friends and family enjoy the food when I lovingly drag them here ;). The massaman curry is THE best, and my whole family is obsessed with the devil wings appetizer. The drinks are awesome too!
Read morePros: Great atmosphere , Good-sized portions, Creative, delicious food
Cons: A bit pricey

The buffet isn’t that great IMO - Edit
Have only gone for the lunch buffet and, in my opinion, I think it certainly can be better. Regular menu entrees could be better, though.

I went for lunch today and the entrees are much better than the buffet. I ordered the pad keemao and it was delicious.
Pros: Entirely vegan
Cons: Expensive, Buffet not too great

Best vegan Thai in Seattle - Edit
Great quality food. Mostly organic ingredients. A nice restaurant with friendly staff. We liked everything about this place. The only complaint is they charge extra for substitutions. For instance, we asked for soft tofu instead of the fried in the massaman curry and was charged $2 each for that. Little charges add up here, but the prices of dishes aren’t too bad for being organic. Araya’s, the other Thai vegan place, is not even organic and they charge similar prices. Definitely will only eat here now for Thai food. Favorite dishes so far are the pumpkin curry and red curry.

Kati is the Best. - Edit
Kati Vegan Thai is my favorite restaurant in Seattle. The food is amazing, the owners and staff are awesome, great gluten free options, tasty drinks, and all around good vibes. My personal favorites are the papaya salad, massaman curry, crispy jackfruit with sticky rice, and thai iced coffee. Definitely a must-try when visiting Seattle.

All vegan, and even my non-vegan friend thought it was the best meal we had in Seattle. The fried oyster mushroom "wings" were really good, as were curries and noodle dishes.

Vegan Thai Restaurant in Popular Seattle Neighborhood - Edit
Small, cute vegan Thai restaurant in Seattle’s popular Lake Union neighborhood. The friendly staff was quick to take my order (to-go) and answer questions about the menu. The restaurant has a trendy, industrial look to it. I ordered the Pumpkin Curry ($13 & one of their most popular items), and it was delicious! I will definitely go back.
