Favorite International District Lunch Options
After lunching in the International District of Seattle for over a month, I have two favorite restaurants:
Vegetarian Bistro at 668 South King Street. All vegetarian1, though have not tried any of the fake meat options. They have a huge selection, including wonderful Dim Sum. Especially like the steamed vegetable and pan fried pot stickers. The steamed or fried crispy bean curd has been too hard to chew for my liking. Excellent fried rice with tofu and ginger or seaweed and toasted pine nuts.
Not open on Tuesday, which leads to my second favorite restaurant.
- Schezuan Noodle Bowl at 8th Ave South, just North of King Street. Still makes great noodles, green onion pancakes. Try a noodle bowl, or pancakes and the vegetable and tofu dumplings. Small restaurant: can fill up quickly during lunch hours.
Suspect Sichuan Peppers used to great effect in Vegetarian Bistro fried rice, so picked up a sample at World Merchants, Spice, Herb & Teahouse.
1 Fortune cookies probably baked with eggs. Oh, well. :)
