" I stopped by The Boat for a quick meal and absolutely enjoyed their garlic chicken. The flavors were rich and the chicken was juicy. The indoor seating area felt homey and warm, which added to the experience. The pandan waffles were a nice way to finish the meal – rich but not cloyingly sweet. A wonderful adventure for the taste buds! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food at The Boat! The garlic chicken, served with a side of rice, was moist with a beautiful garlic flavor. The only setback was the seating space, which was limited, but they do have an inviting feel to the restaurant. I enjoyed the waffles; they were a sweet treat that complemented the meal perfectly. Would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited this small gem last weekend while exploring Seattle. The garlic chicken was outstanding, bursting with flavor and served with fragrant rice. The wait time was a bit longer than expected, but it was worth it! The entire dining experience was enhanced by the charming decor and unique boat-shaped building. I also loved the coconut cream that accompanied the waffles! Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful lunch experience at The Boat! The garlic chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned well. I was pleasantly surprised at how cozy the atmosphere was as well. The staff could have been a bit quicker, but they were genuinely friendly, adding to the experience. I left feeling satisfied, and I can’t wait to come back for those tasty pandan waffles! " (*Curated Review*)

" Discovered The Boat while wandering around Seattle and it was a delightful surprise! The garlic chicken was hands down some of the best I've had, perfectly seasoned and incredibly moist. The unique interior made for a cozy setting, perfect for relaxing while enjoying a great meal. I have already recommended this place to friends and I can’t wait to come back for more!

" I visited this charming eatery on a recommendation and was excited to try their garlic chicken. The dish certainly lived up to the hype, with perfect crispy skin and juicy meat. However, I found the price point a bit on the higher end for a small portion. The ambiance is welcoming, perfect for a casual meal. I’ll likely return for the waffles as a treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about this restaurant, but my experience was just okay. The food was alright, nothing overly impressive. The chicken was crispy but a bit salty for my taste. I do appreciate the efforts of the staff who were kind and accommodating, but the wait felt long during peak hours. I would say it’s worth a try if you’re in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip. " (*Curated Review*)
