It sounds like a dream circumstance by any measure. Success in the food scene under their belt, they opened up one more little shop for one big reason: to serve the food they loved growing up.
Mark and Picha are two of the kindest people I’ve ever met. They own the bustling Thai Curry Simple in the International District of Seattle, an eatery known for great pricing and great flavor. Just a little over a year ago, they decided to turn to the University District for a brand new project.
This husband-and-wife power duo opened up a dessert store named Wann Yen serving Thai-style shaved ice, a true rarity, and it somehow flew under the radar. Just a few months later, they expanded their menu to serve all sorts of hot foods. The catch? You won’t find your usual Pad Thai or Pad See Ew anywhere on this menu. But take a flight to the homeland, walk into anybody’s kitchen, and this is the sort of Thai you’d find everybody’s grandma cooking.
