My wife and I recently went out to dinner at a place on Highway 99 called Kwan Tip Thai, which is housed in a lime green building with blue trim. It is just in a small, old mini-mall perpendicular to Highway 99 on the east side of the highway.

While the mini-mall is old, it all changes quickly when you walk through the door. The place actually has some ambiance with lace table cloths and semi-formal chairs and pretty good air conditioning as well.

Their food is excellent! The calamari appetizer with its lightly battered crust and served with a wonderful chili sauce is out of this world.

Additionally, my wife and I had two dishes that consisted of fried rice with three or four different kinds of meat with some vegetables. The second dish was wonton soup, which was also excellent. We wrapped the whole thing up with a free dessert (my birthday) with some kind of black rice and cream dish, which was really good.

I guess my point is to share one of our Federal way treasures with my fellow townspeople. This little place deserves to be supported.
