"The Belltown/downtown cousin of the Chinatown-International District’s well-loved Tamarind Tree, Long does a spread of North and South Vietnamese dishes in a slick, upscale, museum-like setting. Tamarind Tree rolls, along with a few other fan favorites, can be spied on the menu, but Long does its own unique thing quite well. Go with a group, pick out one of the interesting salads — say, cognac scallop pomelo salad or soft-shell crab banana blossom salad — and then aim for the family-style stuff, like the curry duck, the squid stuffed with ground pork, or any of the noodle dishes." - Meg van Huygen
