The Best Restaurant in International District, Seattle

Background Illustration for Restaurants

A favorite culinary destination for its many varied Asian restaurants—from dim sum palaces to hole-in-the-wall noodle shops, the International District (I.D.) is a cultural destination. The Uwajimaya superstore and the Wing Luke Museum both warrant a visit before you settle in for an amazing—and spicy—meal here.

Silky and ethereally light rice noodle dumplings star at this colorful hybrid counter service spot serving lesser-known Thai specialties. The bold and bright decor matches owner Pum Yamamoto’s bubbly personality, filling the room with joy and energy. Any of the rice-flour-based dishes show off the restaurant’s skills with the steamer, but particularly the signature pak mor; the supple, delightfully wrinkly handmade wrappers cradle chicken, pork, or tofu in a dish that rarely shows up on Thai restaurant menus in the U.S. because of the delicate work required to make it.
