Thai Trio

Thai Trio commands a fiercely loyal following on the Sammamish plateau, and it’s easy to understand why. Located in the Sammamish Highlands Shopping Mall, this restaurant balances classic Thai expectations with unique, highly specialized regional dishes that elevate it well above standard takeout fare.

Beyond the Basics

While Thai Trio executes standard Pad Thai ($16.95–$20.95) and Panang Curry flawlessly, the real excitement comes from their distinctive specialties. The authentic Thai Boat Noodle Soup is a regional rarity rarely found in suburban settings. The Spicy Wings Zaab — tossed in secret spicy seasonings — delivers serious heat with complex flavor. And the Crispy Tamarind Delight ($21.22) — chicken, prawns, or tofu tossed in a complex sweet, tart, and savory tamarind sauce — is a standout that showcases the kitchen’s range.

Beverages

The beverage program is equally strong. The Classic Thai Tea with Milk ($6.66) is perfectly balanced, and the Yuzu Green Tea provides a refreshing alternative.
