Have a cultural food kind of day.

The takeout window of Thai Curry Simple, the cheapy I.D. counter with gobsmacking roti, is now open on Capitol Hill, says Slog.
Thai Curry takes over the former Barista Boyz shack at 12 Avenue and East Madison Street (a stone’s throw from Tavern Law). For now hours are Monday-Friday 11am-2pm and weekends 6pm-9pm, reports the blog.
Fill up on $6 curries and $7 gai ping chicken, then make for another Cap Hill newbie, Pau Hana. Tonight the Tenth Avenue restaurant celebrates its grand opening with $5 pupus: kalua pig sliders, sweet-chili chicken wings, pork nachos, coconut shrimp.
Happy Friday.

Delicious, and only $6.50.

Like the other items at On the Fly, the shrimp salad sandwich is wallet-friendly.

The takeout counter is right around the corner from Flying Fish.
There are maybe 150 shrimpies cramming into that baguette there. They’re of the bay variety, and they’re lathered with just enough dill-flecked dressing to give the guys a splash of sprightliness. The lengthy bow of bread is a reminder that the sandwich, even with its $6.50 price tag, is meant to satisfy the most eager of eaters.
The other offerings at On the Fly —several more sandwiches, salads, make-at-home meals—are also priced to move and maintain the stamp of Chris Keff, whose Flying Fish is right around the corner. She debuted this grab-and-go offshoot maybe two months back.
Smart ones will get to On the Fly before the lunch hour floodgates open. Otherwise you and a friend may mosey there, both with your sights set on the shrimp sandwich, and upon arrival discover only one remains. And that’s just a bummer.

Hot diggity the lunch options around here just keep getting better and better.
Late next week keep an eye peeled for On the Fly, the grab-and-go Flying Fish offshoot. The lunch and dinner counter is stocking a variety of salads and sandwiches, price tags for both hovering below $7, says owner Christine Keff. Those dropping by later in the evening will find a more beefed-up menu also stocked with items you can prepare at home. (One example: crab cakes.) For the sweet teeth, there are cookies and pies—Keff sounded particularly stoked about the latter—as well as wines for $18 and under.
On the Fly will share the same kitchen as the recently relocated Fish, but that’s it—the two are of a separate set-up and address. When Keff first scouted her new South Lake Union digs, she was prodded to take over the entire space at 300 Westlake Avenue. A wide-eyed Keff first resisted, knowing it was too big for one restaurant, but then she was a offered “a deal I couldn’t pass up.” Et voilà, the idea for On the Fly took flight.
Right now hours are Mon-Sat 10-7, and there’s no need to call in orders ahead, you can just swing by. An online ordering system will be implemented soon, Keff said.

Swankiest teriyaki joint in the Rainier Valley

Just look at that glistening skin
Speaking of the five-day-old law now mandating compostable containers, cups, and plates in takeout joints—and I’m pretty sure we were speaking of that—one of the most beloved takeout joints in Seattle now has a glitzy new look.
Meet the new Toshio’s Teriyaki, the fancy angular glass building just south of I-90 on Rainier Avenue. Yeah, that Toshio’s Teriyaki, once a shack held up seemingly by its sticky rice and pinned-up Bible verses alone.
That’s all changed, thanks to the fancy new remodel that had its grand opening last week. No worries, everything else is the same—right down to the moist teriyaki chicken, skin-on as ever.
Well, except for the clamshell to-go containers. Compostable now of course.
