"Wow amazing Thai food in Seward. Good news is there was a vegan menu itself. We took a green curry, vegetable fried rice, Ginger stir fry. We underestimated the spice level, we ordered 3 spice level on a scale of 5 and it was spicy!!. Quantity of food is more (aligned with rates 😃) But the taste was very good. Fresh food. Overall great experience. Highly recommend. It gets busier in the evening."

"We were pleasantly surprised to find so many vegetarian options at Woody Thai Kitchen in Seward — and even more surprised by how amazing everything tasted!
We ordered the Panga Curry, Pineapple Fried Rice, and kids’ noodles, and every dish was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. The taste was far above average — absolutely delicious 🤤.
Prices seemed a bit high at first, but the portions are huge, so it’s actually great value.
No wonder this place is so popular — it totally deserves the hype! A must-visit for Thai food lovers, especially if you’re vegetarian"

"Good Thai food. Portions are larger sized but apt for the high prices.
Service was good, friendly but slow. It took us close to an hour to get our food, although there wasn’t any wait time to get a table.
They had a separate vegan menu, which was nice to see.
Would recommend this place while you are here in Seward and craving some delicious food!"
