Large selection, always busy at lunch. my co worker says “the spring rolls are like crack - you just can’t get enough.”
Good lunch combinations and they have a nice ’spicyness’ scale. I believe the hottest stuff is supposed to be very very hot, though I’ve never tried it myself 
I always get one of three dishes (I know, I’m lame)…They are all $6.29 for lunch:
- Pad Thai
- Rad Na
- Showering Rama
- Address: 2301 5th Ave, Seattle, WA (Belltown)
- Type: Vietnamese, Thai, East Indian? eclectic spread…
- Pricing: $13/person (lunch)

was walking to our usual Thai place today and we noticed the signs for this new restaurant. we decided to give it a try, and it wasn’t so bad. a small lunch menu, but enough variety to suit my tastes. i like how there are so many different kinds of food on one menu. the atmosphere was very nice and the staff was normal. seemed like it was more a place you go for evening drinks, though.
i had the ‘havana’ sandwich ($8) - orange chipotle pork with garlic aioli and tomato relish. it was very good except for the bread part. there was a lot of flavor and a lot of sauce - i felt it made the bread too soggy and hard to handle. the pork would have been excellent over some basmati rice or complemented by steamed vegetables.
my co-worker had the ‘taj mahal’ chicken - yogurt marinated chicken oven roasted and served with rice and ginger tomato sauce. i tried a bite and detemined it to be too dry for me.
in short, it’s good, but not great, and if you want to eat in a pretty place (and pay for it) then this will be what you are looking for.

i finally found my favorite bubble tea place on the eastside. this place uses a combination of powder and fresh fruit that comes out really well and they have quite a few options available. i thought that it was pretty funny and interesting that the woman believed she made the best bubble tea around and wanted to make sure i was pleased with the outcome. she even made a bit and brought it to me in a spoon to taste and see if i wanted to add more to it.
i’m sure the tasting part is just part of the benefit of being there at 4pm in the middle of a weekday (there was only one guy there), but it’s probably still a nice place to be at anytime.
i have never eaten food there so i can’t really comment on the quality of that. i had a little bit of beef fried rice today, it was standard - nothing great, nothing bad.
the hours listed on the business card that i picked up are:
monday - saturday 9:30am to 9pm
