Everything tastes very fresh at Chinoise!! I don't like Sushi but my husband does, so we are happy to find a restaurant where he can order his sushi and I can get other dishes like a good basic Pad Thai. We like the small restaurant feel, the ability to eat outside on beautiful sunny days and our kids love the food (and the staff are nice when they serve the kids and don't make a fuss about the child seats that can take up a lot of room in their small restaurant). I would go here anytime when given the chance, as a sushi lover or not!!

Clean, modern, cozy, slightly-retro, newer night club and bar, divided into two sections: a "free" side and a "pay" side... (if there is a cover that night). Their schedule may vary, but generally the music is always diverse and eclectic, as with the crowd: If I recall correctly, there are amazing live bands or piano bar on Sundays, poetry slam on Tuesdays, check the Stranger for weekdays (range from DJs to private parties); re-mixed hip hop on weekends... and it's never over-crowded.
Always a good happy mix of mostly locals. Staff is quick and smart. Drinks and cocktails are yummy, my fave is the Mojito. Large cushioned booths are very comfortable and accommodate larger parties while the smaller tables in the dimly lit environment cater to the smaller intimate dates. Dancing is encouraged. Harder to find as they don't have a huge glitzy entrance... it's near Peso's and next to Kid Valley on Queen Anne Ave on the Uptown/Lower QA area. I can go on forever about this place...

Simply stated, I love this theater! They have so many great shows playing here, I wish I could clone myself to go and see all of them. And then there is the ambiance of the theater itself. The elaborate moldings make the venue seem very glamorous. Unfortunately, given the casual nature of Seattle, the illusion is lost when you see many of the patrons milling about in inappropriate attire. So, my suggestion is find a show you want to see, get all dressed up and head to the theater.

I couldn't resist this storefront while browsing 6th Avenue. Inside, display cases were full of goodies and it was hard to decide what to get. Everything looked so good. Their BBQ Pork buns are fantastic!
Service was very helpful and patient. They even helped teach me about red bean cakes. Cool.
Prices are excellent. Quality and taste are superb.

I've tried many of the places around Seattle and this would be my pick for best vietnamese sandwitch. I've only ever tried the #1 (roast pork) but its always great.

This place has everything you need to do Hispanic cooking. They have a Tortilleria that makes fresh tortillas, masa to make tamales, a meat market, a small bakery in the back with Hispanic confections, and they carry the hard to find ingredients that you need to make Hispanic dishes in the produce section such as nopales (Cactus). This place also has a little restaurant and the prices are very reasonable. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to do a one stop shop for Hispanic items.

Well, it probably isn't perfect for everyone, but it is for us. It is a terrific family place with friendly staff. Nishino's down the street is a real five star place, but this place wins because it isn't crowded, the sushi is very good. The hamachi is really great and try the rainbow roll.
But, the best part is that folks who don't just like Sushi have options. The Udon noodles are particularly good and the tempura is fine. My wife loves the green beans and the walnut shrimp we had the other day was quite authentic.
So as a classic fusion place it is great. Also, when we get there early it is never crowded. Give it a try for a good neighborhood place.
Heck, if that ain't enough, Bill Gates gets there and you can see that in the front stand. A nice plate he signed for this family owned business.

Very down-to-earth, fun tour. Enthusiatic tour guide took a small group of us step-by-step through the chocolate making process. You see every machine, find out how it works, and have the different tastes of chocolate explained. It also gives a good perspective on the differences between their process and practices and why fair trade and organic is important. There were so many chocolate and confections samples I felt a little sick afterwards. The chocolate they make is very special and different-- I especially liked the chai bar, and if you like strange flavors you can't do better than coconut-curry. Remember to call first (especially on weekends) to schedule the tour.
Pros: For $6 this is a steal, if only for the amount of chocolate they give you!
Cons: They don't serve milk...
