        <content>I got to thinking that around where I work in Kent there are MANY office parks, most of these have some sort of food service establishment - does anyone know any that are special or especially good?  I was hoping for good homemade soup, pho, something special sandwiches, texmex, indian, homemade pastry.  Anything goes.  For that matter I'll take any recommendations in Kent :)

Current go to spots in Kent:

Spiro's Greek
WildWheat - for sandwiches and sometimes breakfast
El Riconcito for tacos
Punjab Sweets
Mexico Lindo for smashed beans and rice
Alki Bakery
BBQ Pete's
Kent Commons (various, mostly chain restaurants)
Imperial Garden
Del Rey

Thanks!

      <content>The Salmon Dip at Caveman Kitchen should be on your short list. Order a side of Dragonwheels to go with it. </content>

      <content>In the same mall (Great Wall Mall) as Imperial Garden, there is a small shop next to the Filipino restaurant that's to the right of pho restaurant. They sell various Vietnamese deli foods (banh mi, goi cuon, etc.) I think they're just as good as Saigon Deli.

Also, down Central Ave north of the Willis St., there's a couple good Mexican joints.</content>

      <content>Thank you both for your reply.  I'm not a big fan of Caveman (it was the only place to go for a while there), but I haven't tried the Salmon dip so maybe I'll give it a try.  Isn't salmon dip a strange thing to have at a bbq place?  :)

I tried to make it to the Vietnamese deli but got sidetracked by a friend, I'm going to try it tomorrow.  I love a good banh mi!

Have you heard of a pho place in Kent called Cafe Pho Tic Tac?</content>

      <content>I have to second - from the original post - Punjab Sweets (great authentic Indian Food) and one of the most quality bakeries and cafes in the Puget Sound - Wild Wheat Bakery and Cafe!  Few people realize the extent they go to to make a lot of their own products.  Great food.  </content>

      <content>I am fond of the pizza at Fondi's Pizzeria at Kent Station. Also, the new Kaiten Sushi Restaurant is worth checking out.</content>
