Terrific food!
I had a while to wait for my rental this day, so I stopped in here for some lunch.
Very peaceful place, extremely kind people, and the food is fantastic. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I fly into Seattle!

I was the 1st customer of the day, so the vibe was peaceful and comfortable. Good soft music, super clean, just relaxing. Beautiful decor. Food was fresh, tasty and well seasoned. I got the green currency and ginger tea. Veggies crisp, pork tender and not overcooked. Perfect welcome back to Washington after early am flight. Amazing and friendly service. Will be back.
My fiance and I were visiting her niece in Seattle and we're staying near the airport (SEATEK) and found Chontong. None of us ever had Thai food so we decided to give it a shot.
Boy am I glad we went here. The food tased amazing. The meal sizes were plentiful. The atmosphere was lovely.
Note to reader: the spicy level is very subjective. My fiance and I got a 2 (on a scale of 1-10) and it was quite spicy. Even the waitress said she can't go above 3!!
I would highly recommend Chontong to any passers-by or even locals. Please keep in mind that the prices on Google are NOT accurate. The dishes are ALL at least $5 or $6 MORE! That would be my only negative.

Such a cute place that was quite close to the airport! I had my pad see ew taken out and by the time I eat it in the hotel, it was a little soggy but the flavors are still great. Dining in would probably have been much better.
Anyways, the only person who was working out in the front was such a sweet and friendly lady. She started out a little conversation even though I was only there for my to go order.
The place seemed nice and has good atmosphere.

Was starving after picking up my rental so pulled into this Thai restaurant that's right at the exit thankfully and was pleasantly surprised! Good service and I tried something new, the crispy garlic chicken and all I can say is WOW. So flavorful and beautiful, got it medium spicy, I highly recommend it if you want something besides the usual Thai. Yummy!!
Location: Right by the Airport car rental place on Pacific Highway. They have their own reserved parking spots for restaurant customers only. Location seemed very clean inside when we arrived in the first hour of opening on a Saturday.
Service was warm and friendly and they offered to refill our drinks several times and us 3 ladies trying to catch up with each other (one was from out of town) didn’t feel hurried at all.
Food was a hit and miss for us. I love papaya salads but this Papaya salad did not taste fresh. I feel bad saying it because the elderly ladies serving us were so nice. The papaya salad and veggies were harder instead of crispier. The sauce was also a big problem like it was a mix that wasn’t made fresh or from a couple nights before. It had a more fishy taste than usual with a sour taste, almost tasting spoiled. All of us took one scoop on our plates and didn’t go back for seconds.
The calamari appetizer on the other hand is a must order! It was hot, fresh and the texture had the most perfect chew. The dipping sauce tasted like is a regular bottled sweet chili sauce, but I feel they can improve and find a more creative pairing for it.
Kee Mao Noodles was too sweet for me and oily and not enough veggies. This is another dish I usually get at Thai restaurants. The portion is also smaller than other places. I would not order again.
Dungeness crab fried rice was delicious and one of the favorites. They put the crab on top of the rice and you can decide to mix it all together first.
MSG - I believe they use MSG at this place because after 20’min or so my chest started hurting/tightening and my allergy symptoms started showing. I usually get this at some Chinese places when they put quite a bit of MSG. I believe it was in the crab fried rice. I could be wrong on where they placed it. But I strongly believe there was a bunch of MSG somewhere due to my reaction.
Conclusion: Great attentive and friendly service and easy location to meet up with friends near the airport. Hit or miss on food. Personally I wouldn’t travel out of my way to dine here as I know better Thai restaurants that does my favorite Thai dishes better. But if u find your go to dishes here, you should be fine.

came again to the chontong Thai with other 2 people for dinner at 6 pm on Sat. No reservation but no problem. Parking is front of the restaurant. Inside the restaurant is a good atmosphere and clean environment. A lady always lovely and nice smiling. There were a few customers in the store and seats were available. First we ordered appetizers Platter. I wanted to eat a pan fried wide rice noodles but out of wide noodles. So I ordered Pad Thai w tofu and Red Curry w chicken. All the dishes were easy to eat and tasted good. we want to come again.
