I stopped by The Boat after spotting it in the Seattle Stranger. It’s a Vietnamese restaurant, although the fried chicken seems to have taken a vacation to Seoul.

Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you. Altho the menu is limited, this food is fantastic. The base is a delish half game hen graced with a crispy topping with just the right mix of sweet/savory garlic. Then you choose your sides: turmeric rice, broth, or noodles with a curiously good sauce reminiscent of Thai peanut sauce, but more subtle. Also on offer is a cool drink menu (mock- and cocktails) featuring flavors of lime, tamarind, pineapple and Vietnamese coffee.
