    Crying tiger and squid
    Leslie E.

    A great find in Seattle! I've seen this be recommended for so long on social media but never really had the chance to go, but when we did, oh my goodness the flavors are IMMACULATE! Love how tender the steak was and the spring rolls were phenomenal. A bit on the louder side but it would make sense since it's a late night place that also serves drinks!

    Craving Thai food, we decided to have dinner at Bangrak Market. The restaurant was lively and packed with people, with upbeat, loud music playing throughout the evening, creating a fun and energetic atmosphere. Our food came out surprisingly quickly, so we didn't have to wait long at all. Everything was delicious and flavorful, although some of the dishes were a little too spicy for us. The servers were attentive and responsive, always there when we needed them without being intrusive. Overall, it was an enjoyable dinner and a great place to satisfy our Thai food cravings!

    This place was a vibe! We went around 9 on Thursday and the music and patrons were lit! The food was delicious, we are from out of town and thankfully reviews led us here and did not disappoint. Everything we had was delicious. The tofu was crunchy and paired with the sauce delicious. Crying tiger was flavorful and had great spice. The sauce served with the prawn was the hit, added extra spice and flavor beautifully. We used that sauce with tofu and it was all delicious.

    Happened to stop in and get lucky with the happy hour menu and let's just say it didn't disappoint. This place is super lively and has a damn good playlist lol if you know you know. Service was good, very attentive staff. Food was amazing, WOW! I'll be dreaming of it till I get to visit the city again.

    I love this spot! The first thing that stood out to me was the environment because it really feels like you've stepped into an outdoor market in Bangkok. There are so many little details throughout the space that create that feeling, and at night especially, the whole place has such a fun energy. The food is amazing and I also love that they carry dishes and items that aren't commonly found in the States but are much more familiar if you've spent time in Thailand. That alone makes Bangrak worth visiting. There's something really fun about coming here in the evening. The atmosphere, food and little market details all come together and make it feel much more like an experience than simply going out for dinner. Trust me, it's a vibe. If you're missing Thailand or just want somewhere with a lively, distinctly Bangkok feel and great food, this is definitely worth checking out. Parking is tough around here because of it's location, there is a parking lot in the back side that I would suggest checking first.

    Super loud, kinda crazy, but super fun. We had the fried prawns (w the most amazing green sauce), chicken satay (the best satay I've ever had), deep-fried tofu & Lao-style papaya salad (this was good too, kinda pungent, I've only ever had the Thai-style papaya salad which is a bit lighter in taste). Someone complained about "ventilation". Yo, just pretend like you're in Thailand. For being so crazy busy, service was very attentive. You can flag down anyone to order additional food. Plus food comes out at lighting speed. Def fun place to go with friends. Don't go if you can't handle loud music.

    Boat Noodle

    We came for Sunday brunch and the place was already packed by the time we arrived -- always a good sign, so expectations were high walking in. The boat noodles delivered: generous toppings, rich broth, and a really great depth of flavor. This dish alone is worth coming back for. Unfortunately, the chicken dishes let the meal down. The roasted chicken was dry and came out lukewarm instead of hot, which was disappointing. The Hainanese chicken rice had the same issue -- the white meat was bland and lacked the tenderness/flavor you'd expect from a proper Hainan chicken. The atmosphere is fun and festive (loved the string lights and the market-stall vibe), and the space fills up fast, so I'd recommend going early or expect a wait. Bottom line: Stick to the noodle dishes here -- the boat noodles are the standout. I'd skip the chicken plates until they improve on temperature and seasoning.

    Lively atmosphere with upbeat music with your dinner. The food was delicious but the music elevated the food tasting experience.

    Now I completely understand why there's always a line out the door for this place, even though the space inside is huge! The vibe here is incredible. The moment you walk in, it feels like you've been transported straight to a bustling Thai night market or a lively pub along the strip. The interior design and decor are so fun and detailed. Just keep in mind that it gets pretty loud and energetic inside, but in a fun, vibrant way that really adds to the experience. We ordered a little bit of everything: Tom Kha: Perfectly creamy, tangy, and hit all the right aromatic notes. Kor Moo Yang (Grilled Pork Neck): Tender, super savory, and packed with flavor. Pad Thai & Fried Rice: Both classic comfort dishes executed exceptionally well--not dry at all and loaded with taste. Everything came out piping hot and full of authentic flavor. The wait can be a bit long during peak hours, but it's 100% worth it. Definitely a new go-to Thai spot in Seattle!

    Really enjoyed this place! Fun ambiance felt like a market - a bit noisy though if you're trying to chat with friends across the table. Got the goong ob wonsen which was amazing with massive prawns! The mango sticky rice was ok - mangos weren't super ripe. But would def go back for the food/entrees!

    Seattle's Thai scene is hotter than sticky rice freshly unwrapped at the table and somewhat less likely to burn one's fingers. Thai cuisines vary depending on the region, but in general Thai food is known for balancing sweet, salty, spicy, and sour flavors. It also features a generous helping of fresh herbs and coconut milk. This results in bold, complex, and often herbaceous dishes. Located on Second Avenue in Belltown, Bangrak Market is named after the most famous market in Bangkok, where we had our first dinner in Seattle. The reservation was easily made via their website. Upon arrival, it was pretty busy and felt like a market when one stepped inside thanks to the colorful streamers and decor. The decorations were so unique, especially the baskets used throughout the space, and the whole vibe instantly transports one to Thailand without actually being there. It has such an energetic and party-like vibe. The music felt like one's in a bar, and the atmosphere was super fun. My partner, his family, our friends, and I managed to get a big table for a party of 14. With so many menu options, one can order with confidence. For starters, some ordered the Fresh Garden Rolls (Tofu), Chicken Satay, and Kao Mun Gai. As the main meal, we ordered Tom Yum Nam Sai (Chicken), Pad Thai, Pad See Eww, Kao Pad, Kao Pad Supparos, and Gang Kari. The food was amazing, full of flavor, and authentic. Everything was beautifully presented and made with fresh ingredients. Portions were decent and the price reasonable. The service was excellent and super friendly. From the wait outside to our meal, this establishment was buzzing, packed with patrons having a great time, food flying out of the kitchen, and that fun, chaotic energy that tells one you're in the right place.

    This is a fun restaurant to go with a group of people. Although they have a two hour limit and hold you to it. Came with a group of about 15 people initially we ordered to share as a group but all the food was so good. Everyone just ended up eating the entrées that they ordered. The crying tiger was not too spicy ordered with a side of rice, shrimp, vegetable, lettuce wraps also fresh with great peanut sauce. The decor and ambience is fun and lively, we celebrated a birthday there they brought out a sparkler on a dessert and came out and sang. Located in downtown, it was easily walkable to and from our location.

    Trendy cool place with Average tasting food for Me. Don't get the hype. We had to wait in line for about an hour on Friday evening when we reached there around 6.45pm. Food came out really quick after ordering so the service was quick. But the flavors did not hit as much. Parking here can be tricky since it's in belltown. You will have to find paid parking spots. As much as I liked the vibe of this place , food not so much .

    Can the mussamun curry be vegan, including the curry paste? I am confused because it was suggested for the first time as a vegan item the other night but I don't remember the waiter ever suggesting that before. Thank you.

    Hi, our new brand of Massamun curry paste does not contain shrimp paste. So if you order it with just veggies or tofu, it will be vegan.… 

    How long wait time tonight at 6:30pm for party of 7? Or walk in?

    There will be some wait. Please consider walk in.

    What time/days are Happy Hour offered?

    4-6 pm everyday

    How long is the wait usually on Fridays dinner time (6 PM) for 4 people?

    About 30 mins Or less - we usually seat you first if your full party is waiting outside

    Do you only accept reservations for parties of 7 or more? I'm visiting from out of town in 2 weeks and have heard great things about this place. I'd like to make reservations for me and my husband but not sure if you accept them for small parties.

    Yes, seven or more only. Smaller parties are welcome to walk in.… 

    Is there outdoor seating, and is the outdoor seating dog-friendly?

    Yes & yes!

    I want to make a reservation on April 1 at 6:45pm for 2 people and one toddler. On your website, there is no option to reserve, but at least 7 people. I want to reserve as I have kid with me. Is there a way I can reserve online?

    I've gone on Saturday evenings and you have to log your name on a tablet outside. You can maybe try calling, but have not tried. The wait can be a walk in to one hour in my experience. The positive thing is you can do other things nearby and… 

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes! You can do so on their website or by calling in.

    Hi can we make reservations for today?

    What time and how many people?

    Is this restaurant wheelchair accessible?

    Yes, but please let’s us know before you come in so we can save some table for you.

    Are there gluten free options available?

    Yes, several items are GF or GFO. I had the kao pad kaprao (Thai holy basil) GF, which was excellent.

    Do they have happy hour deals? What days/times? Thank you!

    Yes, 4-6pm every day! You can find a copy of their menu here: https://www.bangrakmarket.com/digital-menu

    Is this place children friendly?

    Yes.

    How do the spiciness levels compare to the average american thai restaurant?

    It's pretty the same but more distinct between different spicy levels. It's not very spicy if you go with mild. But if you choose medium or hot, or even extreme hot, it can be very spicy.

    How is parking here?

    Street parking only. It's downtown Seattle so it really depends on the time and day.

    Which soup menu has no pork in it (blood/oil/meat/etc)? Other than the vegan options of course.

    Most of our soups are made to order. You can easily request not to put pork in any of them. Other than the boat Noodle- which contains pork blood and spices as the base of the soup.… 

    Does boat noodle soup have blood in it?

    There is no chunk of blood, but yes the both has a touch of crimson pig's blood, which makes the both appear dark.

    Flat Bread - We ordered the flat bread with spicy Caccioppo pork sausage, béchamel, Pernod fennel,…read moremozzarella, Grana Padano, and garlic. The crust was on the thicker side and packed with rich garlic flavor. The center of the flat bread was more flavorful than the edges. Crispy Karaage Chicken Wings - The karaage seasoning comes as a powder rub. It wasn't my favorite because it didn't taste much like traditional karaage. It's also a bit messy to eat, so be careful not to get the powder on your clothes. Interestingly, the flavor reminded me of Maruchan shrimp flavored instant noodles. On the plus side, the portion size was generous and offered good value for an appetizer. Gambas al Ajillo - This dish features spicy garlic shrimp and chicken chorizo. The shrimp was fresh and well cooked, though it wasn't particularly spicy. The chorizo brought more heat and had excellent flavor. I highly recommend ordering this alongside the flat bread. We used the gambas garlic oil/ sauce from this dish as a dipping sauce for the bread, which added a delicious extra kick. Espresso Martini - They make their espresso martini using drip coffee, and surprisingly, it works really well. This was my first time having one made this way, and I enjoyed it. Service & Overall Experience - The service was excellent. Our server checked in on us regularly without being intrusive and gave us plenty of space to enjoy our meal. Overall, both the food and drinks were solid, making for a very enjoyable dining experience.

    Not as good as previous visits. I saw only one person taking orders, and this is not a small place…read more The server was very nice. But the only time we saw him was when we tracked him down to order or request our check. The blasted broccoli used to be my favorite. They've changed it and it's not as good. Other of our favorites were missing from the menu entirely. (Oh where did you go, spicy shrimp with shells?) We did like the karaage chicken wings. Liked them a lot. I'd say to be sure and order them. The ravioli and mushrooms would have been nice, but was so overly drenched in brown butter it was not pleasant. Who knew there could be too much brown butter? This dish would benefit by a bit of acid - maybe a balsamic drizzle? The best part of the tandoori style chicken by far were the interesting garnishes along with the tzatziki. The chicken was just a vehicle for the rest.

    They've slightly improved the seating arrangement since I last visited to be less sardine-like, but…read morenot much else has changed. They had 1 server and 1 food runner for a 100 person venue at capacity. Therefore, it took 30 minutes to get a can of beer. (To be clear, this is not the staff's fault: it's management's job to hire enough people). The food is wildly overpriced for what it is, even accounting for being in a tourist trap part of town: $15 for a single slider, $30 for a small burger or sandwich, and they aggressively peddle/upsell drinks. They were also again out of a bunch of menu items. Check your tab very carefully when you close out because it's communal seating and orders can and do frequently get mixed up. Also, close out early if you don't want to be the 97th person in line waiting to close out at the end of the show. One of the toilets is leaking water from the handle and doesn't flush; this isn't a new issue because there's a sticky note about the problem that's clearly been there for a while. It's clean water but it does create a small pond in the stall. Overall, I would not recommend this venue as a venue; it's only worth going for the artist/performer Also note that some shows have additional/more strict age restrictions beyond the "minors allowed until 10pm" rule posted by the venue, so bring your ID just in case, and double check the event/artist website if you're bringing anyone under 21 and especially under 18.

I stopped by around 4 PM on a weekday, shortly after opening. There was no one at the host stand or at the bar; the place looked deserted, except there was one patron sitting nearby with a drink. Bartenders / servers appeared after a few minutes. The cocktails are $19-$25 and all fruit-focused. Literally every one has fruit in it -- strawberry, apricot, raspberry, passionfruit, peach, cherry, etc -- except the espresso martini. Wines are $16-$25. Both drink menus tend towards the upper end of those price ranges. The paper menu was in bad shape, with tears and water marks.

I have been to the Diamond Club, various suites at the T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field several times too but they just did not compare anywhere close to the Moet and Chandon lounge experience. Food was amazing. The venue served King crab, nigiri, oysters, smoked salmon, charcuterie, tacos, complementary wine, cocktail, and beer. It was a buffet and there were three different areas serving different types of food. Our server was great. She was very attentive and nice.

There are parking garages in the building that Nue is located at, though I am not sure about parking validation. There should be plenty of street parking as the restaurant is located more on the outskirts of Cap Hill. I got to the restaurant via a 10 minute walk from the nearest light rail station. Service was a bit slow when went, I think after we were seated, there unfortunately were two large groups that can in afterwards. We had to flag down the service workers to place our order and get the check. As for the food, it came out after 10 minutes one at a time. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, lots of memorabilia from various countries and even the check came out in a passport-esque binder. We got a couple of things, which I'll review down below: Carribean Pineapple Cornbread ($8): Tasty cornbread that has nice coconut flakes spread through the batter and around the cornbreads. The cornbread was moist and there is a pineapple undertone in the flavor profile. One downside was that the quantity is quite small, I think for the price, you get like 2 3x3 squares of cornbread, which I think is unfortunately not enough as an appetizer even. Chengdu Wings ($24): These wings do have a tasty flavor profile and have a fragrant aroma when you bite into them. The batter is crispy and they are pleasing to eat! Once again, I unfortunately think the suffers in terms of quantity - you maybe get like 3 wings for $24, which I personally think is a very steep price for fried chicken wings, regardless of the flavor profile. I understand that not everyone can handle very spicy flavor, and personally think that despite the name being Chengdu Wings, it serves as a good entry to Sichuanese cuisine for people given the motivation of the restaurant. Malaysian Dhal ($22): A pleasant dish that has a fragrant coconut, lime, and lemongrass flavor that represents the flavors of Malaysia well. The stew has a pleasant consistency and each bite coats your tongue with the fragrant flavors. The roti is flaky on the outside and soft on the inside - perfect for enjoying this dish. African Bunny Chow ($24): Probably the most filling dish that we have ordered at Nue - I think if you are hungry, maybe go for this one. There is a decent amount of meat in this dish, and the flavors are tasty - it feels like a slightly more toned down Dhal in terms of fragrance, but has a pleasant thicker consistency. In the end, I think Nue is better served as a Tapas-esque restaurant than a place you would visit if you are hungry. Prices vs. quantity does suffer quite a bit at Nue unfortunately, which is why I think it serves as a place to sample cuisines in a night out and then maybe visit elsewhere to complete your dinner. The food is flavorful and pleasing to the general audience, which is a good thing for people who generally aren't very adventurous in their culinary horizons. I'm not sure I would revisit, but I would definitely recommend this to people that lean more on the safer side of dining out.

    This is it, the emperor of Seattle dive bars. Inimitable. Sui generis. My favorite place to hang…read moreout in downtown Seattle when bad decisions and fun are on my agenda. Time without number I've found myself here, be that first dates, my birthday, or New Year's Eve, and it always feels like home. If home were a clown/carnival themed acid trip of a pinball arcade bar, that is. And what's not to love about that? The bar tenders here are cool and friendly people who pour drinks with a heavy hand, and understand the mission: get the patrons who want to be drunk, drunk. The first few times I visited, I felt a leeriness about ordering food. But once I got over myself, I kinda fell in love with the menu, and I've probably eaten everything on it (including the clam chowder). Their hot dogs are wonders to behold, utter symphonies for the senses, and I refuse to visit Shorty's without getting one. Best dog in Seattle? Why yes. I think so. To paraphrase one reviewer: "Take your date here. If she doesn't like it, she's lame and you shouldn't waste your time with her anyways." Shorty's is the bomb.

    The male bartender was extremely rude. As soon as we walked in, he aggressively asked for our IDs…read more Then, while my cousins and I were looking through the food menu, he barely gave us a chance to read it before saying, "I'll take whoever is ready to make my life easier." That's not something paying customers want to hear. I ended up ordering a drink for myself while the guys were looking at the menu because they were doing a food hop, and us girls were doing a bar hop. During that time, the bartender came back to our table at least four times within about five minutes. Instead of being attentive, it felt pushy and aggressive, especially since they were still deciding what they wanted. I've been here a few times before, but after this experience, this will definitely be my last visit.
