morfire

"Morfire on Capitol Hill serves the kind of hot pot for those looking for a quick, laidback meal—the light broths and lean proteins could feasibly be eaten before a workout. And since this is a Thai spot, you’ll find bases like tom yum and tom kha in lieu of tomato or mala. Sesame-marinated pork slices and soft tofu are must-orders, and we like that you can opt for individual hot pot if family-style isn’t in the cards (as in, someone flaked)." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"In the case of hot pot, the broth is usually a cooking vessel rather than the main event. But at Morfire, a little Thai hot pot place on Capitol Hill, you’ll want to drink the broth. You can split the pot in two separate flavors (we like the miso and the chicken), and then you’ll pick various vegetables and proteins to cook in the boiling broth. This is not a “less is more” situation, and we recommend starting with tofu, chicken, wontons, the ground pork and prawn mixture, vegetables, and going from there. And then also getting some french fries because you can." - Aimee Rizzo

"Waiting at a hot pot restaurant while you’re forced to smell delicious soup can be torture. But you shouldn’t have to wait too long at Morfire, a spot on 12th that has a ton of broth options like a spicy coconut, pork bone, and miso. You can split the pot into two separate broth flavors, and then pick various vegetables and proteins to cook in the boiling soup, like tofu, beef, and wontons. It’s perfect for a group if you’re all in the mood for something hearty." - aimee rizzo

"Morfire in Capitol Hill fills in a major gap in Seattle’s Thai food scene through its hot pot, or suki, offerings. The broths are accompanied by sauces that give off sweet and sour flavors, with unmistakable heat shining through. Don’t forget to try the Suki Hang, or dry hot pot, which features stir-fried glass noodles mixed with a spicy sauce from Thai chili peppers, all served up on a sizzling cast iron pan. There’s a delicate sweetness from a hint of preserved bean curd." - Ryan Lee
