Mae Phim Thai

Mae Phim
My favorite restaurant.

Where I fell in love with Thai food fifteen years ago. Lunch prices all the time. Dinner and weekend hours.

Fifteen years ago, I ate there several times a week.

The owner has resisted the urge to change. Same menu, almost the same prices.

In Seattle for a weekend last month, I found time for thom ka kai. Nothing could live up to memories of soups past but I wasn’t disappointed.

Working hard, doing the job well, and unspoiled by success.
