The concept is interesting, but I think I picked a soup where the execution did not mirror what I expected. Tom Kha Hotpot - I was incredibly excited for this broth given the description and found the flavor to be unfortunately off balance from the profile I'm used to. At minimal, the soup is missing the intensity of the common palm sugar sweetener and spice of the galangal. The soup was very acidic and saline forward as a result, and did not flavor the ingredient choices as harmoniously as I would've liked. One example that one piece of chicken breast was the size of chicken tender, which is too large to faithfully absorb the broth.

Lately this has become our go-to Thai restaurant in a city filled with great Thai food. We've…read morereally enjoyed their pad kee mao and pad see eye and their green and house curries are also very good. They have a good amount of heat to them, the flavor is well balanced, the vegetables and proteins are plentiful and fresh tasting, and the portion size is good. The reason I don't give them five stars: rice is not included with the curry meals and the restaurant itself smells a little. We've always ordered for takeout so less concerned about the smell but just be aware if you are dining in.

A classic, old school Thai restaurant in Capitol Hill. On the front, it boasts $20 lunch specials…read moreand 20% off for happy hour from 4:30pm-6pm. First impression of these prices are, they are higher than the typical Thai restaurant, so I have to assess it in the lens of that, not a typical fast casual restaurant. The good thing though is that if you have InKind credits, Resy credits, Doordash credits etc, this place takes them all, so if you are finding yourself in a position where you must use the credits somewhere, this is a fairly convenient candidate. We got the curry trio with roti, roasted duck curry, swimming rama with pork, and pineapple fried rice with beef, all 2/5 spicy which is fairly mild-medium for my taste buds. We also got some cocktails like the Bass'd and My Thai, the former which is Thai tea with Hennessy and the latter is a mai tai variant. The curry trio with roti is good, though the curry is a little watery. They give a really good amount of curry that we ended up just sipping it like soup later on. The roasted duck curry is really good, a bit on the pricier side but it had a duck leg and a few chunks of duck meat, so you are getting some value (rice is not included, add $3). The swimming rama is good - peanut and garlic dominate the flavors, and the pork is tender and the spinach is decent. The pineapple fried rice with beef is decent - I wished it was a bit more elaborate in presentation like having a half pineapple (that is what I typically envision for this dish), but it is still delicious. There is generous amounts of beef, pineapple, sausage, etc with not much rice, so I prefer that for the value. The cocktails are good and decently strong. $15 is okayish, but the 20% off during happy hour pushes the needle to order a drink alongside the food. The cocktails are fairly basic and easy to make, but we still ordered them for the full experience. Service is good as the food was ready in a timely manner and they had water refills. It took them a little bit of time to get the check, but otherwise it was a fairly efficient experience.

Strawberry Snowie Frappe - it's a solid dessert. Very sweet and likely double blended because it's not super icy, rather the liquid collects at the bottom. However the icy blend at the top wasn't watery either, there was still some flavor. Overall, it was as expected, but a decent refresher on this street.

We sat near the patio for fresh air and better acoustics so it wasn't hard to hear each other talk. Food wise, we did half dozen oysters with house hot sauce (yum!), hollow bread, shrimp toast, chicken bite and mini donuts, duck egg custards, and fish and chips. Dessert was coffee and pomelo entremet (fancy). I will definitely do shrimp toast again and try some other dishes next time. Drinks are pretty but not super memorable. I enjoyed the service that's warm attentive but not over bearing. Overall lovely date night spots and solid happy hour food menu.

This restaurant is full of contradictions. On one hand, it…read morecontains some of the best individual dishes I've had in the city. On the other hand, some remarkably bizarre choices and inexplicably bad dishes leave you thoroughly confused. I'm a positive person (kind of), so let's start with the good. Their bahn tieu, or hollow bread, ranks up there as maybe the best bread-as-an-appetizer in the city. From the moment you cut it in half and feel the hiss of the steam escaping from the middle, you know it's going to be good. The outside is crispy, and the inside is so unbelievably fluffy it's wild. The honey coating on the bottom just adds that slightly sweet flavor that makes it even better, and the honey butter works perfectly to spread and let melt on the hot bread inside. For just $4, it's comes at an unbelievable price. We liked ours so much we ordered it again at the end. Following that same theme, the next thing we had, the toasted bahn mi, was also incredible. This is definitely not your typical bahn mi - as it comes in two mini triangle shaped pieces with a fried exterior. This outside has the perfect crunch and slight oiliness in its texture, and the inside of chicken liver parfait and pork floss just works so well. The nuoc cham also has essentially every flavor - sweet, salty, umami, spicy - it's the perfect dipping sauce. Ok, now let's talk about the truly incomprehensible. The rockfish fish and chips contains some of the worst fried fish I've ever had. The breading is beyond repair - it's practically soggy to the touch. When taking a bite out of the fish in your fish and chips feels like eating a bamboo shoot, you've completely lost the plot. I shudder to think about how this would appear when put next to some of the other fried fish I've had in Seattle. There's no seasoning, and to make matters worse, something just tastes very off about the inside. I don't even mean that's its overcooked, which it is, but there's just something weird going on that I can't quite put my finger on. Also, the tartar sauce might be the worst I've ever had. It's essentially just a pickled salad. There's no fat - no mayo or anything to provide something good to dip the fish into. It's just watery, liquidy, and functions atrociously at its job of being a dipping sauce. At least the fries were decent enough. If that wasn't everything - there's two more things that went wrong. The first one of these is just laughable. When we sat at our table and tried to order from the lounge menu, which is an all-day menu (not just happy hour), we were told that we couldn't be served the lounge menu at our current table, and had to be moved to the lounge area. And then - completely serious - we were proceeded to be moved like three seats over, now told we were in the lounge area, and allowed to order the lounge menu. It was so ridiculous both of us couldn't stop laughing for like five minutes. Even now I find it incredulous. The fact that there was some great firewall standing between the lounge and main dining area that prevented them from bringing a lounge plate one iota outside the allocated area is exceptionally funny. The second one is a bit more annoying. When we got our table, we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. I found this a bit odd - it reminded me of Europe - but I didn't think too much of it and asked for still, assuming that like essentially every restaurant in the US - the water would be complimentary. It was my absolute shock that we were charged 12 (twelve) American dollars for water. What!? In the land of the free? And the home of the brave? Really? Twelve dollars? Water? You know the kind where Seattle has some of the best tap water in the country, and you can literally just fill that up. Granted, it was probably partially our fault for not blocking the question entirely and asking for tap water from the start, but I assumed they asked between these two options to just determine the type of water we wanted. Overall, this has a couple of the highest highs, but the lows here are in the depths of hell. 5/10
