Wild Ginger Asian Restaurant & Satay Bar

This Pan-Asian restaurant across from Benaroya Hall and above the Triple Door jazz club in downtown Seattle has been a favorite with Seattleites for some time, and for good reason. The location is great, the ambience is bright and lively without being a noisy scene, and the cooking is always good. Skewers of chicken, prawns, lamb and salmon arrive hot from the satay bar accompanied by sticky rice and pickled cucumber. You can also order deliciously pungent dishes like panang beef, a curry made with prime rib eye beef in a sauce of cardamom, coconut milk, basil and peanuts.
