Seattle, WA: Joule - "Go, eat, be amazed"

2008-06-22T15:26:32-07:00

Review of Joule at 1913 N 45th St, Seattle, WA 98103

After 3 Sunday “Urban BBQs” and a mid-week dinner visit, I’ve been reduced to a fanboy of, and walking ad for, Joule.Today’s BBQ star is an incredible (and quite original) French dip — and that’s on vegetable day (there’...

Seattle, WA: Dahlak Eritrean Cuisine - "The largest platter ever placed in front of two people"

2007-05-07T22:16:44-07:00

Review of Dahlak Eritrean Cuisine at 2007 S State St, Seattle, WA 98144

by troy:

Title of this review aside, quantity doesn’t go very far in my book. It’s an unavoidable first impression when presented with the combo sampler, though, at over 2 feet in diameter.Start with Ethiopian and Eritrean “standards,” add a few unexpected positive touch...

Seattle, WA: Waid's Place - "A bit odd, even on East Jefferson"

2007-05-06T21:39:51-07:00

Review of Waid's Place at 1212 E Jefferson St, Seattle, WA 98122

by troy:

As a first-timer, I did a quick plate inventory. Your choice of 4 or 5 entrees will come with the same sides as mine: tasteless potato salad, bland beet salad, and tough potato crisps. A mound of properly-cooked rice and a dab of top-notch, evening-wakeup hot vinegar cole slaw also came with...

Seattle, WA: Red Mill Burgers - "Bacon deluxe with swiss"

Review of Red Mill Burgers at 1613 W Dravus St, Seattle, WA 98119

by troy:

My full review is hereI’ve personally tried a goodly sample burgers nominated as Seattle’s best. And I have bad (good) news: Red Mill’s bacon deluxe with cheese blows the ones I’ve had out of the water. Red Mill...

Kirkland, WA: Thin Pan - "Tasteless noodles in an attractive atmosphere"

2007-03-20T20:53:00-07:00

Review of Thin Pan at 170 Lake St S, Kirkland, WA 98033-6418

by troy:

I wanted to like this place. Lively lunch crowd (for Kirkland) with a few distinct entrees on the special menu. Alas, the Thin Pan Noodles tasted like noodles dumped in a wok. With nothing else.About average fast-lunch Thai service: the food came. One request didn’t get commu...

Seattle, WA: Mexico Cantina Y Veracruz - "Bland, mediocre Mexican"

2007-03-20T20:40:49-07:00

Review of Mexico Cantina Y Veracruz at 600 Pine St, Seattle, WA 98101-3702

by troy:

I wonder whether the previous reviewer is affiliated with the restaurant: he/she thinks everything is great, amazing, or perfect, has no real detail, and has posted 1 review across the entire site.Anyway, I’ve had two fairly bland, gringo-fied entrees at lunch meetings. Second vi...

Seattle, WA: Takohachi (CLOSED) - "As close to Japan as I've found in Seattle"

2006-12-13T11:53:58-08:00

Review of Takohachi (CLOSED) at 610 S Jackson St, Seattle, WA 98104-2911

by troy:

Granted, my sample is merely 2 weeks in Japan. You’ll hear “hai!”, see basically no sushi, and pork products will appear in unexpected places (though not in every noodle dish, as was often true in Japan).Outstanding food at bargain prices. Part of Takohachi’s ap...

Bellevue, WA: Manzana Rotisserie Grill - "My sample size is 1 visit, but.."

2006-12-11T22:53:39-08:00

Review of Manzana Rotisserie Grill at 610 Bellevue Way NE, #110, Bellevue, WA 98004

by troy:

5 of us came came for Sunday brunch. Lowlights were burnt French toast, an absentee order of huevos rancheros, and occasional waitress tag for table service.On the upside, the food was average and the price was fair given where we were. And it still beat the 30+ minute wait at Chace&#...

Seattle, WA: Trabant Coffee & Chai - "My favorite coffee shop (and I live 5 mi away)"

2006-12-11T22:43:08-08:00

Review of Trabant Coffee & Chai at 1309 Ne 45th St, Seattle, WA 98105

by troy:

Intelligentsia coffee, incredibly dedicated owners, and a building that just feels like home. I confess that I’ve taken the bus to Trabant mostly to sit for a few hours, despite living across the street from other coffee shops.Trabant’s bean selection (microlots, Cup of Exc...

Seattle, WA: Shanghai Garden - Seattle - "The barley green noodles are worth the trip"

2006-12-11T22:35:26-08:00

Review of Shanghai Garden - Seattle at 524 6th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104

by troy:

Pretty good for lunch, and jetleigh’s right about the barley green noodles and that their preparations are relatively healthy. Sichuanese Cuisine and Hing Loon are too close for any one of them to get all my business.
