Italian in East Van: Bar Corso. Another area that most tourist don't know exist so if you're a tourist get out of downtown and explore. I guess I'd call it Italian with a twist since it was a new dining experience. Food Rest of Washington, United States, Washington, West Coast
Edison WA

This place is in the very small town of Edison (basically an intersection of 2 roads) but that doesn't Greenwood, Seattle Metro, United States, Washington, West Coast
Seattle
Best Thai in Seattle: Aroy Mak. That's a bold statement with all the Thai opportunities in the metro area but this is the place. Unlike most Thai restaurants the menu isn't pages long and focuses on vegetables, chicken and shrimp. Choices are Seattle Metro, South Lake Union, United States, Washington, West Coast
