Yelp has about 12 reviews...Ridiculously cheap, potent drinks...I adore old 50s-60s Chinese restaurant decor and I love dimly-lit rooms in restaurants, and one reviewer says it's exactly that. Another calls the decor 'the Chinese restaurant that time forgot'..." TorchGuy Time didn't exactly forget the Four Seas, or at least the remodeler didn't stay away. It has some ornamental wood work, but other than that it's a typical Seattle China Town stripped to the bare essentials restaurant. The dim sum is pretty good. (The best old style chinese restaurant in the greater Seattle area is the Red Lotus in Auburn.) The Dynasty Room at the Four Seas looks as if it has little done to it, but it doesn't seem to have ever been that exotic. Still, it's a small, windowless bar and they do pour with a heavy hand. The Dynasty Room feels like the kind of place where people go to drink away their lives, meet someone for shady business deals, or take a "date". I like it. Here's a craptacular cellphone snap of a Four Seas matchbox I found a few years back: And so this post isn't entirely off topic...The big lips Moai mug on the left was found a couple weeks ago at the Seattle Goodwill for $2. Molded into the bottom: Kahiki And just in case anyone asks: The bottle to the right is Newfoundland Screech Rum, a gift from Dogbytes who was worried I wasn't drinkin' enough. I would guess that Screech is the only rum that mentions cod on its label. woofmutt [ Edited by: woofmutt 2008-05-11 14:04 ] [ Then this message was edited by woofmutt again cuz he used "it's" instead of "its". ] [ Edited by: woofmutt 2008-05-11 14:06 ]
