BE WARNED - their spiciness chart runs 1 star higher than any other Thai restaurant. If you usually order a 3, be sure to make it a 2 here. Other than that the food is delicious, with lots of fresh flavors and a diverse selection of noodles to choose from. Lots of vegan "meat" options too - I recommend the "duck" and "chicken". The rice pudding desert is great too.

This is THE place to go for vegan curry or noodles in Seattle. A little whole in the wall on Capitol Hill, this restaurant quickly serves up wonderful dishes with fragrant scents, amazing taste (seriously, THE BEST curry), and lots of spice! I usually get a 4/5 spiciness at Thai places but I have to get 3 here. Prices are decent, staff is quick and friendly but a little curt, and they have vegan duck which is delicious!!!

I ordered Green Curry with tofu. Vegetables in my dish were stale and one of the green bean had two black holes in it. There could be warm inside in such vegetables. Upon complaining she told me it s ok and don t worry. You are all good and nothing is going to happen to you. Then she is like, Are you from India right? Don t they grow vegetables in dirty water and sell stale vegetables with worms? . She was making different weird faces while speaking. I am complaining this business to Food and Health dept. of Seattle, King County. Don t go here unless you want to eat stale vegetables which might have worms. Be careful!

Very nice vegetarian food. Panang curry was delicious.
Don't go on the face of the restaurant it's not A class on the inside but the food is very nice. And don't forget the Thai ice tea/coffee.

I had heard great things about this place, i came with great expectations! But I probably won't be coming back. The food wasn't bad, but it also wasn't up to the rave reviews in so many "best of" lists. The biggest problem was the service. I stopped in during an epic day of errands, seeking a place to slow down for a while and savor a meal. When I arrived, two other people were seated, but they finished quickly, making me the only person there. Despite an abundance of seats, the waitress rushed me through the meal very obviously and rudely after only about 15 minutes of being there. It's not a place to sip tea and gaze out the window or have a relaxed meal, folks, which is sad because the space is perfect for some well-earned repose. I don't know what they do when the place is empty, but it must be fun because they want you in and out. She dropped the check as soon as I reached for my dessert, brought a to-go box to my table even though I did not ask for it, repeatedly asked me if i needed anything else, and generally treated me with a particular chipper contempt. The cherry on top was after she ran my card, I put off signing the receipt for a few minutes while I finished my drink. She soon appeared at my table and insisted i sign it right then in front of her. When I asked her why, she said something about needing to close the register for lunch. I asked if they were closing and she said no. They didn't close til 9 and this was about 4 pm. It didn't make sense. As I gathered my things carefully, she said "goodbye" in an overly excited voice to me several times. Again, I was the only person in the restaurant. What was going on? I don't know but I felt I was being discriminated against for some unknown reason. I doubt they treat regular customers this way, or maybe they just prefer very fast moving people! A stressful experience, not the peaceful time out one should be able to find in an empty restaurant. Very unwelcoming, cannot recommend!

This is one of the best Thai places I have ever had, and I have traveled the world including Thailand, love Thai food, and am not a vegetarian.

Try your favorite dish with their delicious chewy udon noodles and veg beef. You will not regret it.

One of my favorite places to come to when I visit Seattle. I always get the cashew pineapple fried rice with tofu since I can t find anything like it in my home town. Look elsewhere for ambience, but come here for amazing comfort food, served hot and fast.

It is by far one of the best places to eat for a vegetarian in the Seattle area. The food is amazing, the decor reminds me of India and even though its a little cramped and wait times do get into the 10s of minutes during peak times, its well worth the wait.

I love this place! I told my roommate after bring her here that I would bathe in the Yellow Curry Noodle Soup if I could. Really, I could eat here every day but I would gain too much weight! Highly recommended. They have vegan "meat" options if you want to go with an omnivore who might be hesitant. The staff is friendly and the wait time is short whether dining in or taking out!

Really enjoyed this place, we ordered around 5 items including curries, noodles and satay tofu and all were perfect. The food gets very spicy, we went with spice level 3 and it was perfect for us but we like our spicy food. The service was great granted it being a hole in the wall spot. I'll be back here every trip to Seattle.

It is a great vegetarian place to enjoy food that present the complex profile of Thai influenced cuisine.
Space is little limited. Please give compliment to the host and the chief. They work really hard and create such a unique taste profile that will ingredients will dancing on your tongue while eat.
Enjoy!

I am not a vegetarian but this place is delicious for everyone! The waitress who served my friend, who is a vegetarian, and I was very sweet and recommended a delicious coconut curry dish. The dish was very spicy at 3 stars so be aware of the spice level you order if you don't like spice. I will definitely be back.

Very yummy completely vegetarian place!

We ordered the green bowl curry noodle soup with udon noodles between 2 people. Quanitity was great and taste was fantastic. We got a 4/5 on the spice level but I would probably get a 2 or 3 for the next time I come here (and I love spicy food).

Will definitely be returning - be sure to check it out!

I used to go out of my to come here several times a week. Ever since they changed to no longer be a vegetarian restaurant, I haven t been back. It used to be unique and vegan. Now it just blends in with all the rest of the local Thai places so I don t go out of my way

'In the bowl' is an Asian-inspired vegan restaurant in Seattle and probably my most favourite restaurant in this city. They are a small hole in the wall type of place with very minimal seating. Their food is sensational and their portions are generous. I ordered this Eggplant fried rice with a home made chili sauce and tofu, soo soo good. Pretty much everything we ordered was spectacular, I also liked their Khow suey which was their special last week. If I am in Seattle I will be eating here, most non vegans I know also love this place.

Small place kind of old looking and no decorations. The food was fantastic, very tasty. We ordered the N20 duck noodle soup and C7 duck curry. The noodle bowl (more like giant spoon) was plentiful. But the C7 was something else, it was creamy, bold, flavorful, and colorful. Missed one star because of the service. Server seemed bothered but us ordering by item number. Will be back for the food.

Really yummy vegan/ vegetarian dishes. If you're sensitive to spicy, their spiciness level is slightly spicier than normal so just be careful when ordering :) The "melting culture" appetizer is really tasty.

Once you are wondering Noodle Time used to be In the Bowl. The food has always been terrific here, this totally vegetarian restaurant does a stellar job with flavors and cooks all their vegetables just right. Of all the meats they have their beef is my go to as far as favor and texture goes. In the fall they have pumpkin noodle soup which is my all time favorite dish they make. As far as none fall themed items go Thai Peanut Sauce Noodle was a favorite of mine before I developed a peanut allergy. Ginger Asparagus was another favorite in my household. You can also expect either an orange slice at the end of your meal, or amazing black rice pudding! With the change to to Noodle time they did loss a lot of the menu items I loved, and the price for pumpkin noodle soup with vegetarian beef went up $3. These changes are the reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5.

We ordered Royal noodle and Lost in the jungle noodle. Jungle noodles had way tooo much tumeric and both of items weren't mixed well with the sauce. I used to really like this place and this is my first order after renovation and probably the last one. Disappointed

One of the best Thai food in Capitol Hill though not fancy. I have been there twice, we ordered Tom Yum Soup the second time it was an Indian themed curry. The food is nice, serves good quantity.

Had a tough time deciding due to a very big and diverse menu. Ended up going with the spring rolls because I was craving some raw veggies and the garlic Mania because the person next to me had it and it look delicious. I got mine with udon noodles. Both were good, especially the noodles. I thought the spring rolls were a little expensive but it did come with six good-sized pieces. I wish they had a small side soup option. The noodle dish was great, hot and fresh. The food came out fast but seemed fresh. The server was attentive at checking to see if I was ready to order and filling up my water. Would go again.

This is a nice small local vegetarian noodle bistro. The food is good and the vegetables are always fresh. Some of the meat substitute is weird, but most of it is really tasty. They also give free dessert with each meal, I think it is a kind of rice pudding. Great place to try if you are looking for something different.

I usually get their fresh rolls. They are served with a tasty peanut sauce. Another item I get is the garlic mania noodle made with udon noodle for an extra $2. Free dessert is provided which is a pudding. This place serves many other vegetarian dishes.

Not edible. The food has so much oil, even in a noodle soup. The waitresses are loud and rude. They give you only a small amount of real vegetables, but the rest is just starch. The place has an open kitchen; it's smoky and makes your clothes smelly. Just unhealthy junk.

This is one of my husband's favorite spots in the city. Great noodle and rice dishes. All vegetarian, with a variety of fake meat options (although I prefer the tofu). And most dishes can be made vegan.

Extremely overrated. I m not one to complain much but had to post our experience as we felt very mislead by the other reviews.

Yes the portions were big & it s fast & cheap, but the veggies didn t taste fresh or flavourful. We had the avocado curry & a noodle soup. Both tasted very sweet and a little spicy but there was no depth of flavour. Place is small, crammed & very unclean
