Kai's Thai Street Food And Bar — Restaurant in Seattle

Had a very odd experience here that left a bad taste in my mouth. I walked in with one other person around lunch time just for some cocktails while we waited for friends. We were sat at the bar but told they weren't serving cocktails at all, even though the guy next to us was being served cocktails. Weird, but fine, we got beers.

Then, a group of two walked in and were promptly seated and served. A couple minutes behind them was a Black couple that was immediately told "take-out only" and was not given a table. Then about two minutes later another white couple walked in and was immediately seated and served. Can't help but assume that the Black couple was refused service based on the workers (not sure if he was the owner) personal prejudice. Worth noting the restaurant was not at all busy, including us there were only 4 parties, none larger than 2 people. Overall not...

Off the beaten path in U District. Right next to the Link light rail stop. Waitress/host was solo. When # of patrons increased, she was well organized and maintained a pleasant personality and was attentive to our table. Ordered: Pork Pad Thai: Hell yeah! When can you go wrong with this?

We went to pick up on online order to-go planning to eat outside, but it was so hot outside we asked if we could eat in. We were told an extremely rude and aggressive "no" and were swiftly kicked out. There was no one else in the restaurant and it was in the middle of their open hours. I would have loved to stay and order a drink (and obviously tip well for accommodating the change in plans). I have no idea what we possibly could have done wrong to be treated so poorly. My only guess is that we're an obviously queer couple (and my partner a POC), and they didn't want us there? Seems like bizarrely rude behavior for a restaurant in the U district. The food was bland for how expensive it was, and tasted extra bitter after being...
