VARA Restaurant

🌟 Thrilled to serve and celebrate with the Seattle Southside Chamber! It was an honor to bring a taste of Thailand to such a fantastic gathering. Thank you, Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce, for letting us enrich the Seattle food scene with our culture. 🍴🎉

Thanks to our wonderful private dining customer for this stunning photo of our Southern Peninsula Curry Egg Noodle with salted grill prawn and salmon caviar, beautifully highlighted by the Seattle sunset.

We're so grateful for your support and thrilled to see our dishes shining in such spectacular light!

We recently had the privilege of donating our catering services to a remarkable event—the book launch of "The Manicurist's Daughter." This memoir, a narrative tapestry woven from the experiences of intergenerational trauma and triumph, speaks volumes about the immigrant journey. Through our contribution, we aimed to complement the essence of this powerful evening, celebrating the resilience and rich heritage that defines the immigrant experience. The event also shone a light on the Intergenerational Healing Book Fund, a cause close to our hearts, dedicated to distributing this impactful memoir to immigrants and their children who might not otherwise afford it. We are proud to support such meaningful endeavors that highlight the importance of understanding and healing.

Happy Thanksgiving to all from

Announcement! 🌟

Dear Valued Guests,

We're taking a short break from November 16th to 21st to prepare something extraordinary for the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology Annual Meeting attendees in beautiful Miami, FL! 🍽️✨

Curated by Vara Hanjitkasem, our founder, and with heartfelt thanks to our sponsors: Gravity Medical Technology, Physician on Fire, and Brainstorme. Special appreciation to Dr. Dileep Yavagal, Chairman of Mission Thrombectomy. 🙌

Stay tuned for updates and a sneak peek into the exclusive 6-course dinner. See you all soon!

A guilty pleasure for our private fine diners – Fish Sauce-Braised Fried Pork Belly. The dish features perfectly fried pork belly, offering a choice of flavorful Jaew or Talay sauce. Complemented by a rolled papaya salad and served alongside sticky rice balls, it's a delightful combination of textures and flavors. 🌟

Many of our private diners loved our Pandan Infused Sticky Rice dessert. This indulgent creation features fragrant pandan-infused sticky rice, drizzled with velvety coconut cream syrup, paired with perfectly ripe mango slices. Served with pandan layered jelly. Really love for you to try.

Introducing our new lunch menu, the "Land and Sea" Khao Mun G*i! 🐔

Brought to you by popular demand, this dish was inspired by our followers who recently returned from Thailand. We've taken the classic Khao Mun G*i and elevated it to a whole new level with the addition of two delicious chicken variations.

⛰️ The "Salt Braised Chicken" is paired with the Spicy Bean Paste Sauce, representing the rich, brown earth of Thailand.

🌊 The "Soy Braised Chicken" is complemented by a lime based Talay Sauce, translating to the flavor of the raging sea.

Each set comes with fragrant Ginger Oil Infused Jasmine Rice, Citrus Chicken Soup, and Crispy Chicken Skin.
