$25 Gift Card to Typhoon! Restaurant

From humble beginnings on Northwest 23rd, Chef Bo Kline and Typhoon! have become icons of the Northwest food scene. Blending classic Thai hospitality with contemporary style, Bo's unique menu features dishes that play on your palate with the harmonic balance of sweet, sour, salty and bitter flavors.

America is quite literally a Melting Pot, and this imagery is nowhere more valid than in the nation’s restaurants.  We have evolved into a land of cosmopolitan cuisine, evident from the fast-food stalls and carts along our cities’ sidewalks to the white-linen dining of skyscraper rooftops.

We are a country of burritos and blintzes and bento, pot roast and pizza, paprikash and Phad Thai.  From kabobs to croissants, from spaghetti to spring rolls to sushi to steak to satay, the diversity of America is punctuated deliciously at mealtime.  
 
As cuisines emerge, they blend, and for the first time since the dawn of French fries, hot sauce routinely outsells ketchup, and the balance of power for the American palate will never be the same.
 
Just as France influenced generations of American chefs and menus, so, too, is Thailand redefining the taste of Asian food (and influencing American chefs from coast to coast), presenting healthful, savory dishes without sacrificing flavor.
 
Typhoon! is the creation of Bo Lohasawat Kline, who draws her dishes from the pushcarts of the peasants to the palaces of her native kingdom.  
 
A native of Thailand -- familiar to travelers as “The Land of Smiles” -- Bo brings the classic Thai touch of hospitality, flavor and elegance to her specialties, marked by her signature style of freshness and “clean” distinct flavors you can taste.
 
Now Bo’s specialty of intercultural communications takes on stunning new flavors, as she proudly presents for your dining enjoyment...Typhoon!
