Yep, that’s the one. There are two Asian restaurants north of Quidnunc; Lee’s is the most northern on that block. The other (the name escapes me) is mostly a sushi place. I do agree that Lee’s isn’t full Chinese, although they have a few of the traditional Chinese options like Mongolian Beef (which is so, so good) and Sesame Chicken (also great).
I can recommend House of Hong for Dim Sum, as well as Honey Court, both in the ID (although the latter is mostly fried Dim Sum). Then there’s P.F. Chang’s in Pacific Place, which is pretty good for a chain.
I can advise you to steer clear of Louie’s in Ballard. Granted, we’ve only been there once 9 years ago, and it was right after we’d moved here, so maybe it was just bad timing. But the egg roles were breaded and fried like fish from a fish ‘n chips place, and they served them with ketchup. Not my idea of Chinese. I remember those horrific egg roles like it was yesterday. :)
OK BL – let us know – we have received another anomaly report of people who sign in here then not being able to post their distinct screen name when they comment on blog posts (it says “logged in” which it shouldn’t because we thought we had the databases separate) and instead turning up as “anonymous.” That’s why we’re calling it “beta” (but what was alpha? and then do we go to centauri?) — WSB
Hello – we had a plumber from one of the bigger companies come out and quote us a sky high price to do some work on our hot water heater. We have one of those feelings like we are about to be ripped off and we’re looking for a second opinion. Does anyone have a handyman or local plumber they trust that they could recommend? Thank you so much!
I’ll 2nd bud on Lee’s. Hands down the best Asian restaurant that we’ve ever tested anywhere in Seattle.
We’re looking for restaurants that will be open on Christmas. From breakfast to fancy dinners anything will be appreciated. Obviously not in WS, but I know House of Hong in the ID is going to be open, but we’re hoping to find one local so we can celebrate in style. :)
Thanks!
Lee’s in the Junction is the best ever.
