Being from SF, Asian bistros are a dime a dozen. Made in Kitchen was an absolute exception. I came across this gem when visiting a friend in Seattle. We were walking to the Mariners stadium to watch the Yankees and we passed it by. We decided we would check it out the following evening. The place looked very modern and extremely trendy, so naturally I expected some good grub. \r
The following evening we arrived and from the moment we were seated the place immediately surpassed my expectations. Without hesitation we were given piping hot and very fragrent Jasmine tea. We ordered fresh papaya salad and imperial rolls to start. The food was extremely fresh, I imagined a person running to a fresh papaya, shredding it, adding all the condiments, placing it on the plate and rushing it over to our table. It was that fresh. It didn't stop there. We ordered crab with glass noodles, Thai curry duck, and fried tofu with black and white sesame seeds. The food came out hot and all the dishes were very tastey and surprisingly in very large portions. The food was very affordable and the variety of food made it hard for us to chose our dishes. We also ordered something they called Sakelicious. It was sort of a sake cocktail. We ordered peach and plum, very satisfying. The wait staff were attentive and kept our tea and water cups full at all times. Not once did we need to ask for anything. The owners (husband and wife) both came by and chatted with us. They were very welcoming and easy to talk to. Overall an excellent experience .
Pros: food, service, prices
Cons: full bar on the way
