Wallingford, Seattle

Tigerly Ox will be opening in the old bakery space next to Julia's on Wallingford Ave. They'll be offering a Vietnamese version of what Mr Gyros is now offering in East Wallingford- international take out that's fixed quickly but tastes great, with an option to eat in. They plan to be open from 11 to 8 every day of the week. Their food sourcing is local where possible, although their chicken is not free range. All their food is offered with "tamarind-black pepper…
