Monsoon Restaurant - Seattle

The grilled pork belly (pictured) was one of the stand out dish at Monsoon, which used to be one of our favourite local restaurants when we lived in Seattle about 20 years ago. Amazingly they still have on the menu my three favourite items from back then: drunken chicken, spicy eggplant, and banana bread. Sadly I can no longer eat any of these dishes, the first two don't contain gluten but are fried in a contaminated frier, the banana bread contains wheat. Still, plenty of other great dishes to enjoy, and the company was wonderful. I wonder how difficult it would be for them to adjust what flour they use such that the frier is no longer contaminated, which would then greatly increase the enjoyment of celiac sufferers like myself.

Experience it!I took 7 out of town guests there, and it was agreed that their pork belly and vermicelli combo are THE best they had had. Papaya salad, crockpot cat fish drunken chicken out of this world.Food: 5/5

Awesome food, worth the price! I recommend especially the drunken chicken and claypot catfish!Food: 5/5

We love this play. Mostly take out but we relaxed at the bar to grab a drink beforehand. Excellent selection and service. The ribs are my husband's favorites. They have lots of great vegan options for me?Food: 5/5
