Came here for a team lunch. Was super packed but luckily we had a reservation so no wait. I ordered yellow curry with rice, medium spice. The food came out fast but I don't think it was spicy enough, and it could've been more flavorful for it's price. Service was fine for how crowded the place was.

Nibbana Thai Restaurant is a solid spot for Thai food, with a large menu and a full bar. It's changed locations since it's beginnings, but still offers the same tasty Thai food that many in Bellevue have tried. I've never had a bad meal at Nibbana. In my most recent visit, my colleague and I came here for lunch and I had to take advantage of the lunch special for $15.95 where you can choose from a list of entrees, which come with rice and vegetarian phad thai. Not very many places in downtown Bellevue where you can get a lunch meal for less than 20 bucks at a sit-down restaurant. For lunch though, the place gets super busy, so I recommend trying to get here before noon on a weekday when the restaurant really gets busy. I ordered the lunch special of panang curry with beef and a Thai iced coffee. The meal didn't take long to get and it was delicious! I love a good panang curry and the beef was super tender with the red peppers. The phad thai was also tasty, with the noodles perfectly cooked and loved the egg throughout. If you work nearby, this is an awesome lunch special spot. But, the menu also has several other items to choose from, with just about any Thai dish you can think of. I'll have to come back for happy hour sometime with discounted bites and booze.

Food is really good here! Service is a bit slow but the place is big and clean. I got the crab ragoon. Can't really taste the crab, it was mostly cream cheese, so I wouldn't get them again. Also got a grilled dish and that was amazing. Same with the pad see ew.

Did a walk-in with a friend after another restaurant we wanted to go to had a 2 hour wait. It was surprisingly really good!! We ordered Pad See Ew and Crying tigers from the grill. The pad see ew was really well done, as a standard dish I thought it tasted a lot better than other Thai places I've been to in Seattle! Crying tigers was beautifully plated. The steak was slightly overcooked but good overall!!

The food here is really really good. Flavors are on point and portions are good. My only major critique is that the service is slow. If you are there on a busy day, be prepared to wait. So be mindful if you are in a hurry or not. The servers were pleasant and kind, but again they busy girl lol

We had dinner here recently, this is their new location. We got Chicken Satay, Tom Yum soup, Pineapple fried rice, and Soft shell crab fried rice. Chicken satay was good. This has always been our favorite at Nibbana. The Tom Yum soup and Pineapple fried rice were good. I loved the Soft shell crab fried rice, it was great to have an entire fried soft shell crab over the fried rice.

Get the soft shell crab fried rice and their appetizers - I think it was a fried chive dumpling ? AMAZING. So crispy and soft with flavor! I got a level 2 spice fried rice and it was not spicy at all.. i could've gotten 3. Will definitely be coming back here whenever I come to Bellevue. Our server was super nice and informative on the spice level. They even give you a little spice rack of 4 sauces as well if you ask for it to put in your food if you feel you want more flavor - my favorite was the pickled jalepenos. Ambiance was ok, a bit crowded in seating, kinda loud, but definitely happy hour and good vibes!!
