Pen Thai Restaurant

Good Thai food in a quaint setting, that's my first impression of my recent visit to Pen Thai Restaurant. I was in Seattle on business and some of the locals took us here for lunch, it was a great choice. There were about a dozen of us all told, and we were smart to get there a bit before the lunch rush, they were pretty busy, a testament to the good food.

Lunch at Pen Thai comes with a bowl of soup. For the life of me I cannot remember exactly what kind of soup it was, perhaps a miso soup, but it was very good and tasty and I know I enjoyed it.

We ordered lunch specials family style, two each of six different dishes, though I do not remember them all. But here's what I do remember:

• Pad Thai
• Chicken Curry
• Shrimp Fried Rice
• Heavenly Beef.

All I can say is that I tried a bit of each dish and seconds of many. Everything was all very, very good. I think my favorite may have been the beef. Or maybe the pad thai. Or maybe... well, it was all very good. If I lived in Seattle, I'd be over here a lot!
