Very close to the symphony, the crowd were dressed in black the evening I ate here. The food was good, although the crab was a bit over cooked and dry, the curry sauce was tasty. For dessert, I had the mango and sticky rice with some sort of caramelized topping...not good...it sort of looked like a topping that usually goes on ice cream. The service was good...even though the waiter was 'in training'...she seemed to be picking up things quickly. Nice atmosphere. less

Ensconced in a suburban strip mall just off 520 is Jeem, Jim Han Lock’s Asian-fusion haven. Soft spoken and distinguished, Lock has spent decades on the Seattle restaurant scene, most recently at Wild Ginger where he won the James Beard Award for Best American Chef for the Northwest region in 1997. The big teal and bamboo-accented room can be reconfigured in moments to easily accommodate very large parties. Lock’s talented kitchen staff executes a menu with so many highlights that deciding what to order is a real challenge. (Thankfully, the long wine list provides guidance in pairing wine with Asian flavors.) Begin with pork sate and ginger-mango salsa or coconut cream of pumpkin soup. Combination meals are a fine way to sample two courses at once -- such as garlic and honey pork, bitter melon with beef, oysters with ginger and onion -- but a glance at another sheet and find temptations like rack of lamb with macadamia and mango or tiger prawns with chile sauce. Fresh and saltwater tanks hold live fish and seafood, so if you’re in the mood to splurge, opt for Maine lobster with red curry sauce. Inventive dim sum is a special focus of the restaurant, and though not all plates are available on any given day, varieties number in the many dozens.
