10. Bai Tong

Reviewed By Greg3404
We've been going to Bai Tong for quite a while but had never ordered takeout. I think the portions were always good when dining in but very meager compared to what we would normally get. The green curry and trout curry doesn't come with rice. The vegetable and mushroom was probably a fourth of what we would expect dining in, and the noodle dishes about a half. I ordered seven entrees, and it wasn't enough to feed four people. The total takeout charge was $105. Takeout at Bai Tongs is not worth it.

A buddy brought me here about six years ago and I loved it. I had actually been making Kalbi myself with another buddy for a huge annual cookout we used to throw every year for a long time before ever setting foot in an actual Korean restaurant. I suppose if you have actual Korean friends who will cook for you, why go to a restaurant? He had brought the original recipe but I modified it a bit and it seemed to go over well because we were pulling progressively higher attendance numbers every year based on word of mouth. We ran it for about five years until someone new was put in charge of budget oversight for it and decided it was too big a hassle. That was a total shame based on our success but my point is that good Korean BBQ is a treat and if you make it, people will come. These guys have been the main game in town for quite a while but I live in the north end and a bunch of worthy (and sometimes better) competitors have popped up in the Lynnwood/Edmonds area. Since I have options closer to home now, I only come here when I'm meeting up with people on the east side but it still holds a special place in my heart for all the happy meals I've had here with buddies and my kids over the years. The food is standard Korean. It's a LOT of meat that you cook on a grill built into your table. There are a bunch of interesting side dishes like Kimchi, bean paste soup, rice, sprouts, etc. I actually love the bean paste soup but for some reason, this isn't included under the "all you can eat" heading. That makes no sense to me whatsoever. It's got to be cheaper to let a guy like me who loves good soup fill up on that rather than gorging on straight meat. Maybe they should reevaluate this. The price to get the option with Kalbi has gone up significantly since I first ate here so I hadn't come as often. I suppose it's not unreasonably high given inflation over the past decade but it is about a 70% price hike and it's just one more thing on top of the drive. The service is pretty bad but I think a lot of the has to do with the language barrier. That barrier shouldn't prevent them from getting back to my table more often than once every 20 minutes though. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for a good Korean meal, you won't be disappointed unless you base the bulk of your personal reviews on the service. If you do that, you're probably not going to like this.

My son chose this restaurant to have his birthday dinner for two reasons. He wanted to have sushi and it was near the Regal Cinemas at the highlands and we were wanting to catch the Wonder Woman movie that just came out that day. So, we went and my husband kept telling me that we've visited this restaurant before already but I do not remember at all. Anyway, my first impression was the floor was a bit sticky. But anyway, we got seated right away. We ordered our dishes. The server suggested the Fire Sushi so we got that. That was a great suggestion because wow! That was prettt impressive. To me, that was the BEST SUSHI ive ever tasted. hands down! I'm not kidding! the seared salmon was just perfect. and the presentation too... with the foil on fire and all.. I'd go back for that Fire Sushi anytime. i ordered the Bulgogi Dolsot and that was extremely satisfying too. my daughter got the Grilled Teriyaki Salmon and they licked their plate clean. The others said their dishes were ok.. that's why i can't give them a 5 star. plus my son who had a birthday ordered chicken teriyaki got his order when everyone finished eating already. it came out like an hour after. that was pretty ridiculous. they didn't even apologize for it. That was a negative. if it weren't for the Fire Sushi, man this restaurant would be a serious fail.

Our family group likes Thai food and tonight we tried a restaurant new to all of us. We were not disappointed. In fact we are all still talking about what great meals we each had at Similan. My salmon with Panang sauce and broccoli was outstanding. Others at the table had amazing soups, salads and entrees that were equally wonderful. I can highly recommend Similan for its food and service. Even though it was busy tonight, it was also very quiet, which we all enjoyed.
6. Noodle Boat Thai Restaurant

Reviewed By Gary C
The recommendation we received, that "this is a great Thai restaurant," was not overstated...IT IS! Colorful and clean interior, with smiling efficient servers, and great smelling and tasting dishes served piping hot and fast. Very sufficient portions and reasonably priced large menu make this a great dinning experience, and one we will return to frequently. The exterior isn't photogenic but don't hesitate to walk through the door, because it will be a culinary visit you won't forget quickly.

I ordered the green curry with chicken (served with rice) and it was chock full of eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, and basil..so good for $10.95. Also ordered a coconut prawns served with mango, cucumber, onion for $7.95. You got 3 in individual dishes. They cook in canola oil and accommodated my fear of too much spiciness by adjusting their cooking. Very nice of them.

Dough Zone Dumpling House is a delicious, yet cheaper alternative to Din Tai Fung. Orders are taken down on paper, service was friendly. The food came out pretty quickly. Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) were wonderful. We also had sweet and sour soup, dan dan noodles, broccoli, scallion pancakes, and pan fried dumplings. My suggestion is order family style to try multiple dishes. Worth a visit!

We drove from Seattle to see Snoqualmie Falls and stopped here for lunch. It was a Saturday, so they were also serving brunch. Glad we found this place as we were unfamiliar with the area. We got lucky and highly recommend this place if you are in the area. Several of us had trout and it was very good. We got in just before it got really crowded. Service was good and food was very good.
