"I note that the franchise Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen, founded by a Thai couple who partnered with friends at local chain Bai Tong and which already has locations in Kirkland and Lynnwood, is opening a Ravenna restaurant at 2316 NE 65th Street with an eye on a mid-January debut; it has received critical praise for well-crafted plates including fermented sausage, pla meuk pad kai kem (sliced squid with salted egg yolk), and a pureed white cod drenched in yellow curry and topped with steamed crab meat. Its other outposts remain open for takeout, delivery, and limited dine-in, and the expectation is that the new spot will follow suit, although possible new COVID-related measures could change those plans." - Gabe Guarente
