The Legend of Hanuman

The white monkey who leapt across the sea.

In the Ramakien — Thailand's beloved epic — Hanuman is the immortal monkey-warrior: loyal, mischievous, and impossibly strong. To rescue a kidnapped queen he tore mountains from the earth and bounded across an entire ocean in a single leap.

He is courage with a grin. Strength in service of others. We took his name because that is how we cook — boldly, generously, and with a little mischief in the spice.

"He carried a whole mountain when he could not find one healing herb."
Four Kingdoms of Flavor

I use to live in Thailand and this food is comparable for quality and fresh homemade ingredients. We won't be going other places for Thai on the Eastside anymore.

Amazing food! Highly recommend their papaya salad and ginger garden. I've been coming here for years and the consistency and high quality make this a stand out location. Bonus points for amazing service, one of their servers chased me for 2 blocks to return my cellphone!
