Uma Thai Cuisine in Ballard


5401 20th Avenue NW
(between N Russell Ave & Market St)
Seattle, WA 9810

ok. ok. i'm the furthest thing from a foody but i have to drool over this restaurant for a minute. i can't take credit for finding it, a good friend of mine scouted it out since she lives in the ballard area, and she passed along the tip. it is easily one of the best thai places.... aside from jamjuree on capitol hill this place my favorite... although uma is quickly passing the former. the food was light, full of veggies and it was REALLY calm. the owner's/server's voice is surprisingly soft and he happily answered our question about the meaning of the name of his restaurant. (it means angel, btw).

i didn't take a picture of my $6 lunch. i can't seem to get that into food yet, but i think it might happen soon (thanks to my new blue camera that totally looks like it would be used by team zissou). ahem... bottom line: good price (lunch between 6-9 bucks) and great atmosphere.

it was the perfect middle part of my day spent with my dear lady friends.
