They asked if we had a reservation and also we didn't, they set up a table and we were seated in 5 minutes. The place has an open kitchen design and you can feel how hard working the kitchen staff is to get orders completed. We started with the fresh rolls and the chicky chicky peanut. The ingredients in the rolls were very fresh and was one of our favorites. The CCP was just ok. We ordered the crab fried rice, pad thai, red curry. Bothe the rice and noodles exceeded our expectations. The food is less sweet than some Thai places in a good way. We ended the meal with the mango sticky rice. Very well done. We will be back.

The downtown Kirkland Wednesday Market, so named to avoid confusion with the Juanita market on…read moreFridays, has pleasantly grown in size since its initial days. Today, I counted about 10-ish produce/flower stands, a pastry booth, plant sale, one food booth, one food truck, a dentist office, a financial advisor company, and several craft booths. From where people are stopping and holding, you can tell the produce and the pastries are the sirens of this market. You won't need to spend much time here. Find what you need and leave. Parking is tricky. Street parking and the marina lot if you are lucky. The parking under the library is a sure thing. There's an information booth if you have any questions.

Aside from a few berry farmers and a kettle corn stand, this market offered vendors you don't…read moretypically see at every other market, which was definitely refreshing. There was an especially great selection of food vendors, particularly bakeries. As with any market, some vendors were warm and engaging, while a handful seemed completely uninterested in interacting with customers. Selling pet products yet not even acknowledging someone walking by with a dog was particularly baffling. The only thing that kept this from being an otherwise excellent market was that many vendors didn't display prices. Having to ask the cost of every item makes shopping less enjoyable and can discourage customers from browsing or making impulse purchases. Posting prices would make the experience much more welcoming and transparent.

I'm always on the hunt for good carnitas tacos. This truck was recommended to me by a few people…read moreand they were completely right! So good. No seating, but they are located in the Shell station parking lot across from Kirkland Urban, which means also across from Peter Kirk Park. Grab some tacos (and maybe a Happy Lemon - right next door!) and dine al fresco on a nice day. All their food is packaged for takeaway so it's also a great "grab on the way home from work" option. Highly recommend!

It came in a nice clear box so the presentation was great for takeout. it is detailed with couple pieces of radish, lime, and a really flavorful salsa (mild in this case).

Super yummy hand pies! I'm always excited when I see that the Tabassum food truck is coming to my…read morearea. The hand pies seem to be already prepared, so the food service is extremely quick. Chicken Curry Samsa: The chicken was plentiful and very good, didn't feel too dry at all. The curry flavor was delicious, but not too overwhelming. Beef Samsa: The beef felt a little dry, but no big deal. There was a lot of beef, onion, and cumin, making it a very flavorful snack. The puff pastries did not feel too oily or buttery, which is something I often find with pastry-type foods. Overall, Tabassum has some pretty good hand pies and I can't wait to have more!

In short: You've had hand pies several times from other…read moreculinary traditions; think of these as being similar to empanadas, just known by another name. In long: I've had these samsas a few times now, because they used to cater lunch at the office at my old work. They've been consistently delicious for 5 years. They're a little smaller than your hand, and stuffed with maybe an inch of filling. 2 of them will fill up quite a few people. The truck itself is hard to miss. It's a Sprinter van, and the longest one I've seen. Big signage on the sides. They posted up Friday in a neighborhood near me. I ended up getting dinner for everybody, so I got to try most of the menu, at least in bites here and there. We got the beef, cheesy beef, chicken, squash, and spinach samsas. The squash ones seemed almost dessert-y, because baked squash is not far off baked pumpkin, which the typical American (like me) thinks of as dessert pie in the autumn. The others were all unmistakably savory entrée pies. The great thing about these is how light, flaky, and un-greasy the dough is on every one. The fillings are fantastic, too, but they've absolutely nailed the dough. Each one was about $6, and they do offer sides, though I just loaded up on samsas and off I went. I hope to see this truck more often for sure.

A pleasant surprise! I hadn't ever tried a guava empanada but I go for anything guava flavored so it was a must for me. The cream cheese and sweet guava jam was a perfect duo. I highly recommend trying this one but a cono was also looking mighty delicious. I also had the most amazing watermelon fruit juice made from watermelons from farmers at this market. As soon as I heard that, I wanted it. It was like adding a tap to a watermelon it tasted so good! This was a smaller market with an okay amount of vendors but just two rows to stroll through. The location though is beautiful and right by the water and park so it gets busy. The parking lot to the side was a mess with traffic but across the street there is tons of additional parking that was way easier.

We had our annual event on October 8th at the Edmonds Waterfront Center with Shooby Doo catering as…read morethe food vendor. The Waterfront Center has them as an exclusive contract so we had no choice but to use this caterer. We signed up with them back in 2020 believing that we would have an in-person event in 2021 but the Delta virus made us have to do a virtual event. Shooby-doo refused to refund our significant down-payment, so we were stuck with them for a future opportunity. Which we utilized them, as I said, on October 8th 2022. The tasting that we did those years ago was absolutely wonderful. The food was quite delicious. And that team worked with us to make sure that we would have a really good selection of food items to meet all pallets, allergies, and so forth. Thus, the food is quite expensive. The major issue that we had with this company is that we are a non-profit organization and have to abide by state guidelines in regard to serving alcohol. It was almost impossible to work with Scooby-Doo on this issue because they had really bad information that they kept telling us was accurate. It was not good. It took weeks on end to finally get them to deal with the state directly and understand that we were correct and we would not do anything that would potentially jeopardize our nonprofit status. In the end it was resolved well but the frustration that we were put through is still something that has a scab on the wound. One expects for someone who is providing a service that particularly has to meet state guidelines would know what they are doing and what they are talking about. And not asking us to work in a gray area. And that's what we were told over and over again. "Just work in the gray area", but like I said it was finally resolved. One other minor thing that was aggravating but we dealt with quickly was them wanting us to get more alcohol than we needed. We got what we knew we needed and still had a few bottles left over. And the only other minor aggravation was they didn't know their full contract the evening of when everything was said and done. They thought we were supposed to be out of the building at 10:00 p.m. but we were actually scheduled to be out by midnight. Again it got resolved but it was something else to add to a more stressful moment in time. Now on to the good stuff: The night of the event was extraordinary. Their employees had everything set up in advance as it was supposed to be and the venue looked amazing. They were so friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. They literally catered to our every need asking questions along the way to make sure that we were satisfied before our guests even arrived. The staff members were amazing. The food was out of the ballpark extraordinary. People absolutely loved the food. We had a double-sided buffet in order to make things would go smooth and quickly. I'm glad we opted for that rather than having them serve the dishes. It worked well. I'm absolutely sure that we would never use Shooby Doo again for our agency events, because of the massive issues we had with them in the beginning. However, I do think they would be good for things that are not related to being a non-profit: Like weddings, birthdays, small corporation celebrations, and such. If you're considering Shooby Doo to cater your nonprofit organization, be careful, be warned, and make sure you check everything, especially the legality around alcohol service. Also, know and monitor the contract so that you know exactly what's in it. While the service was excellent the night of, and the food was extraordinary, the price tag on this event was far more than we anticipated. We recognize that food costs are up and inflation is a nightmare but this is a very expensive catering service. Scooby-Doo gets a five star on the food quality and the evening of service. They get a one star on the knowledge on working with nonprofits, or at least with our non-profit. They get a negative 5 for not allowing us to get our down-payment back when the Delta virus came and shut everything down for everyone. I feel they should have offered it back with perhaps a small penalty but they did not so we were forced to have to use them a couple years later. I thought that was absolutely ridiculous. I told them that I would give an honest review. And this review is that.

We recently hosted an event at the Waterfront Center in Edmonds, an exquisite venue. Unfortunately,…read moreour experience with Shooby Doo catering left much to be desired. Despite hearing positive feedback about them, we were disappointed with both the service and the pricing. While the food itself was satisfactory, the service fell short of our expectations. The staff, particularly the head staff member, displayed below-average professionalism and a snarky attitude. Additionally, the setup did not align with what was agreed upon and promised beforehand. Despite planning for 90 guests, the seating arrangements only accommodated 64, causing inconvenience and dissatisfaction among attendees. During the event, the catering staff were conspicuously absent, leaving us to pick up the slack and handle tasks that should have been their responsibility. Adding to our frustration was the unexpected 23% additional fee, which the catering company failed to justify adequately. When questioned about this fee, we were met with vague explanations about covering costs, which left us feeling misled because they also leave room for minimum of 16% tip that must be paid BEFORE experiencing their service. You do the math. Overall, while the venue itself was stunning, the experience with Shooby Doo catering staff left a lot to be desired. The combination of subpar service, unexplained fees, and high pricing makes it difficult to recommend their services to others. You still have to use them if you have an event at the Waterfront. Don't get the chocolate cookies, or the deviled eggs on toast. If you go for the fruit plate, this cost us $1,710 plus tax. ($19 a person). The empanadas were yummy, the beef sliders were finished, and people complimented the salmon in puff pastry.
