![]() ![]() Last year, Chop Suey closed down for a couple months before reopening under new ownership. I enjoyed the concert and tried to ignore my surroundings so it's not like I had a bad time. I know my review is rather critical, but keep in mind when people see a concert they care about your surroundings. Considering so, I wonder how dance/bar events do it is very average. The place was lit in mostly Red, which resembled a grunge-type feel, although I didn't quite feel like this place was too exciting to be at. ![]() Although I am not of legal age to drink yet, The bar didn't look too exciting either. Right away the building inside doesnt really look exciting high school multipurpose rooms look better tbh. We're both 18, but the show was all ages so they let us in. ![]() My friend and I visited from LA for the week and decided to see a band called "Elvis Depressedly" (Lo-fi, Modern Alternative Rock), and we were excited to see them. The location is great being in Capitol Hill, and i feel this place has potential but I think the owners just don't care enough. I don't have high expectations when I visit a bar style place to see a restaurant it just never really works. Hopefully, I will see you on the dance floor. It is always full, has two bars with professional and friendly bartenders and incredibly chill, fun, atmosphere. Overall, House Party at Chop Suey makes Mondays suck less. I would feel comfortable coming to him about any kind of issue I have. I have not seen him working there since but their head of security, Gabe, is so kind and easy to work with. One of the bouncers noticed and came to check on us which is UNHEARD OF. I have had one account where I had to get aggressive towards a drunk guy that would not leave my friend alone. It doesn't feel like a club in the sense that everyone is actually dancing and intoxicated just enough to have a good time. Everyone is dressed in a way that stands as their own individual aesthetic but honestly, with Seattle's generic club scene it's incredibly refreshing. The Dj plays a mix of Kaytranda, Dr.Fresch and old school hip-hop.ĭefinitely a unique crowd. Growing up I always envisioned a place where I could hear some of my favorite house songs and has a fusion of hip-hop. So consider this a pupu platter of International District Chinese restaurant options: a few tastes before you dig deeper into the near-infinite menu.This is specifically for the House Party event and all of the staff for the night. “Regardless of any particular cuisine, being able to run a business for decades in this market, that’s to be celebrated,” says Chou. “There are different types of restaurants, and they will fulfill different types of needs, and the type of food that you want,” she says.Īny list of favorites can only barely scratch the surface of including every spot and style in the International District worth enjoying a meal at, especially when it comes to honoring the neighborhood's long history. Now, Chou relishes in the variety, and even resents the idea of picking favorites. The author of Vegetarian Chinese Soul Foodjokes that “Cashew chicken paid for my college education,” and notes that customers favored Americanized options and only tried the more traditional dishes her family cooked, like dry-fried string beans, when served buffet style. When Chou’s parents first moved to the US and opened a Chinese restaurant in 1980, traditional dishes didn’t sell. “That has opened up the access to these regional cuisines and ingredients, created a broader demand and customer base.” “What’s on TV, Tony Bourdain… even people on YouTube, broadcasting from wherever they are,” she says. It's a far cry from a generation ago, when most Americans outside the Chinese diaspora barely understood the difference between Americanized Chinese food and the cuisines of China.įood writer Hsiao-Ching credits more people traveling, or even exploring other cultures from their couches. Big-budget modern regional Chinese chain outlets share streets with old-school chop suey spots, and takeout dim-sum counters are interspersed with all-you-can-eat premium hot pot vendors. Like most North American cities these days, many of Seattle's most exciting Xi'an noodle spots and curative Yunnan soup purveyors sit in the suburbs, but the traditional home of Chinese food, the Chinatown-International District, stays relevant and still holds the highest concentration of excellent restaurants. ![]()
