Ahh, the ID. It's really the only place in Seattle where you can get the ultimate in tea smoked duck, broiled beef tongue, broken rice and authentic dim sum brunch. That's why this week, we're pointing our chopsticks toward world-class global eats in our bustling International District!

Know where to find the "best ramen in Seattle?" Well, Paul L sure does; you'll find him slurpin' to his heart's content at Samurai Noodle, where "the broth is properly cooked and bountiful with flavor, and the pork is nicely done with just the right amount of fat." Yumm... fat. It's the "deliciously salted and peppered thin slices of beef tongue" at Maekawa Bar that have Janny W mumbling, "mmm, so good." And Lor B gets her comfort food fix at Fort St. George, the "Japanese café without the sushi," loaded with goodies like "spicy fried chicken and hamburger steak Japanese-style, spaghetti with meat sauce and Texas toast, and pork cutlet curry." 

Salivate with Sandy Y, who admits to drooling for the "honey walnut prawns and green beans fried with pork" at Ho Ho Seafood Restaurant. According to her, they serve up "the best fried tofu and salt and pepper squid," in Seatown as well. Jon L prefers Hing Loon where "the tea smoked duck, Szechuan eggplant, oyster sizzling platter and hot pots" really get him sizzlin'. But if you're in search of (dim) sum action, Andrea S insists upon Harbor City; "it's hot, it's plentiful, it's cheap, and most importantly, it's good." Sold!

Admittedly, Emmett D is a "sucker for white tablecloths;" lucky for him, the tables at Saigon Bistro come covered in fresh linens. "We came here for lunch and ordered the bun with lemongrass chicken. It had a nice mix of greens and veggies, and the chicken was great." Meanwhile, Anne N prefers to dine where "the food is as authentic as it is in Little Saigon," and Vietnam House doesn't disappoint. "The Com Tam Dac Biet (special broken rice) – served with an over-easy egg, pork chops, bean-curd wrapped shrimp, and ground shrimp on a sugar cane – really hits the spot." Speaking of spots, save us one. We'll be right there!
