We got a ton of things, all good, but my favorites were the Miang-Kham (make your own wraps with betel leaves), Royal Kao-Soi, green beans, and chinese broccoli. Their pandan sticky rice with egg custard was one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life. Can't wait to go back!

They have heaters outside so don't worry about the cramped inside space and enjoy yourself. Their options for small plates are able to cover a small group for a full meal if you need. With drinks worth having and a number of NA options for anyone else. Once happy hour ends they'll swap you out for a full dinner menu and you can make a call on how the table is doing. Well worth a visit for a good outing,

Great cozy spot in Ballard serving some great cocktails and Indian dishes. Been here twice and had…read morea great experience both times. Loved the Crazy Jumper - mezcal, tequila, alessio chinato, dolin dry, orange bitters, date-tamarind chutney - spirit forward yet well-balanced. They had a few bottles of genever, so of course I had a genever Martinez, which was also very good. As for food, everyone gets the naan and dhal curry, as who doesn't like freshly baked naan with mildly spiced curry? The kerala fried chicken for happy hour was flavorful and not greasy, and the prawn coconut curry had a nice touch of sour from the tamarind. It's open seating so come early if you are concerned about snagging a spot. Great spot in a quieter part of Ballard!

Mixed experience. Amazing food but the service killed the overall experience. We drove from…read moreEastside and went around 1:30 pm on a Saturday. Placed an order. The food took an hour-- clearly understaffed. I was very hangry and frustrated but didn't say anything. The staff knew it and knocked off 50% off. They were kind and empathetic-- and that alone deserves 5 stars. Okay things happen! But just hoping these issues are resolved. The food was absolutely banging. The Cajun fries with the spicy Srirancha is a must order. Perfectly crispy thick cut fry with some magic seasoning on top makes us demolish this quickly. My friend got the Oxacan bowl-- what flavors. The rice, slaw, veggies, beans and the sauces were perfection in every bite. My Bahn Mi bowl was okay-- i found the sauces too vinegary so this one is on me. We got a salted pistachio shake which was delicious.

Highly recommend! I love their robust vegan menu. They have…read morea little bit of everything from smoothies to bowls to Hardy entrées. you can't go wrong there restaurant has a good amount of seating for small and large parties. It's casual where you order at the counter and I'll bring the food out to you.

Highly recommend & I can't wait till my next visit!!

My husband and I went to Ocho right at opening on a Saturday. We had the place almost completely to…read moreourselves during our time there, and undeservedly so! The brunch offerings were delicious and had perfect portion size. I had the huevos estrellados con jamon, and my husband had the steak and eggs. The salsa verde with the steak and eggs was particularly spectacular. Our server was prompt and attentive, and played some upbeat Spanish music to set the vibe on a rainy Seattle day. Great location on the corner of Market and Shilshole. Would love to come back for happy hour as their tapas menu sounded delicious as well.

Ocho is the number of dishes that I want to try next time I come here, because we had cinco and and…read moreit just wasn't enough (I was actually full, but I just want to try 'em all). First of all, shout out to my guy Nate who was a tremendous server. Not only does he have a strong name, but he helped a brother out who had a fly in his beer. Good guy. We had an idea of all of the dishes that we wanted to try, but he was the shepherd that steered us towards the star of the show - the halloumi. The crispy cheese is a fantastic bite on its own, but the salad and peppers that accompany it add such a perfect balance to this plate. It's almost like eating a mozzarella stick, but just with better cheese. Let me tell you about the shrimp though. These lil puppies are bathing in a garlic butter sauce that is begging to be sipped on like a fine wine. The bread is an ideal vessel for soaking up that sauce and creating an open faced shrimpy sando. During our journey through these tapas, we discovered that the best part of the experience is trying to get a piece of everything from multiple plates to create the perfect bite. Since all of them are so well-balanced, you can mix and match whatever you want to make your wildest dreams come true. This made the dinner infinitely more fun than your average night out. The beans were just kinda mid though. You can skip 'em. Would recommend for solid food and a great time in Ballard!

The person who took my order also prepared my order. The soup was slimy and had a strange smell. The grilled cheese sandwich was soggy from the excessive sauerkraut on top and the size. The cheese was not fully melted and it was a very disappointing experience both texture and flavor-wise. I also got a tofu sandwich and it's literally raw tofu thinly sliced and looks absolutely anemic. I would never recommend this cafe to anyone due to the cleanliness, food quality, and lack of care for flavor.

The prices are high but this is Seattle and it was what I expected to pay for something like this ($11). I can't speak to the food but what I saw people eating looked tasty.

Goose's Gambit is about to be Frelard's (border of Fremont and Ballard's) newest culinary opening. Taking up residence in the former tasting room of Hale's Ales, they hope to fill the void that the closing of Ronette's left further down Leary Street. I got a pre-opening tasting and can't wait to see this new bistro come to life. What can you expect? The Italian classics are as authentic as can be. Cold grey Seattle got you down: the Italian wedding soup will cheer you right up. Craving a sandwich on your way to the Ballard breweries: try one of the five modeled after the Florentine sandwich shop all the study abroad college students rave about. Need a creamy pesto gnocchi: you had best believe it is all handmade in house. What's unexpected? Before the anticipated opening at the end of January, the chef is experimenting with a larger selection of vegetarian and vegan options to round out the side of the menu not doused in Southern Italian red pepper flakes. Thai Curries, Miso Soups, and vegetarian patty burgers are expected to make the rounds on the menu card. If you find yourself in the Frelard area, Goose's Gambit will be worth a stop.

Everything that touches the open wood fire grill tasted amazing! My favorite is the wagyu beef…read morewhich is tender and with a smoky crust. The apple strudel is so heart-warming. The rest of the food was ok where the cured rockfish was quite salty and the pork terrine was a bit hard. The carrot cheesecake has tiny shreds where it's not as creamy. Our server was serving a lot of tables so service was getting slower as the meal went on but the waitress was very professional and super helpful. Like the cozy atmosphere with the open kitchen but my clothes and hair smelled smoky afterwards. It is a good deal during the Seattle Restaurant Week and there's an automatic 22% service charge.

I will be back many many more times! This is definitely a spot for myself to enjoy a breakfast alone or with a girlfriend's. I don't think I would bring my 3 boys but I would definitely bring my daughter. My meal was very Light and perfect for what I needed but it wouldn't fill up my 6ft tall football playing boys. It's like 4-5 mins from the college campus so I continue to come here for my lunch breaks because I want to try more of the menu! You order at the counter and they bring you your food after. Only thing I would change is my meal included potatoes and I barely had any potatoes at all. I mainly ordered the dish for the potatoes. Still satisfied thought because the toast was also delicious. One thing I appreciated was they offered me milk,oat or almond milk for my tea and no where else has done that. I usually have to ask. So it's the little things because I love a milk substitute in my tea with honey!

Food was excellent quality All dishes well executed…read more The VALUE for the portion size was totally off however. Scallops appetizer -- 26 bucks for 2 scallops ? Seriously ??? Entree size of my pappardelle and pork pasta was teeny as well. Literally same size dish as my 8 yr olds kids pasta. Pizza was 36 bucks for smallish pizza but for the quality and size was at least passable. Again all the dishes were well executed... Wife's cod was excellent (albeit tiny prob 5oz) as well as all of our other appetizers and entrees. Just disappointed slightly on getting charged for moderately high end upscale place but getting portions worthy of amuse size on a tasters menu at a Michelin 1 Or 2 star place. Also server was friendly but not super attentive.
