Asian restaurants in Seattle

  1. A

    Wild Ginger

    Seattle was more or less introduced to the satay bar by this popular Indonesian fusion restaurant, where throngs of diners sit and sample bite-size, skewered bits of fiery grilled chicken, vegetables or scallops, plus luscious soups and daily specials. More substantial dishes include Burmese curry crab and cinnamon-and-anise-spiced duck. The bar is a happening place, and there’s a live music venue, the Triple Door, downstairs.

    Mee Sum Pastries

    This little storefront window is famed for its giant hum bao – eminently portable meat- or vegetable-filled steamed buns that make a great snack or small meal. The steamed pork bao is tops. Next-door is a smoothie stand, where you can round out your tidy little meat bomb with some fresh fruits and vegetables.

    Noodle Ranch

    In the same block as Mama’s, this old standby looks like a modernized greasy diner, but serves pan-Asian noodle dishes, many of them vegetarian. The tofu spring rolls, green curries and pad Thai are worth trying if you need some cheap, effective stomach-padding before (or after) your bar crawl.
