In the South Lake Union area of Seattle, there are quite a few vegan or vegan-friendly places to eat which makes us quite happy. On the first day of our Seattle weekend, we ate lunch at a fully plant-based restaurant called Kati Vegan Thai.
Located at the corner of Thomas and Minor Avenue N, we arrived just before noon on Saturday and were seated right away.
We decided to start with the Devil Wings, deep-fried oyster mushrooms dusted with their house hot and spicy seasonings. The seasoning was indeed hot and spicy! The smallish pieces were nicely crispy and not oily at all. The sweet Thai chilli sauce on the side served to offset the spice.
Next up was the Pineapple Fried Rice. It sounds a little boring but its a fried curry rice with cashews, raisins and tofu...and of course, pineapple. It was beautifully presented just like everything else here and really quite flavourful.
Finally, we had the Khao Soi. They have such an extensive menu with a lot of creative and delicious sounding dishes. The best we could do was a rice dish and a noodle dish but there was so much more that we would love to have tried. That being said, we loved this curried noodle soup with lots of coconut. Again, they were generous with the vegetables.
My usual strategy would have been to try a 4th dish and leave with left-overs. As our plan had us walking to the Chihuly Garden next, we didn't want to add things to carry (the umbrella was enough). For anyone who lives or works nearby, you could eat here often and rarely repeat the same interesting dishes for a long time. Probably, you would find must haves before long though. This was one of our most memorable Seattle vegan experiences as the staff and service was very good in addition to amazing food. I envy you local folks just a little bit
