We stopped into Morfire after arriving in Seattle on a cold day craving some hotpot. Morfire serves both family style and individual sized hotpot, along with some other appetizers and Thai inspired dishes.
We ordered the mango milk tea, Thai tea, some of their Thai dishes, and the hotpot with beef, Tom yum, and herbal soup broths. For meat we ordered the pork belly, painted hill beef, and lamb slices. We also ordered chrysanthemum (tong ho), quail eggs, enoki mushrooms, bok choy, edamame, chilled tofu (hiyayakko), and the quail eggs wontons.
The quail egg wontons were tasty. The chilled tofu was refreshing and light in flavor. The edamame were good and are hard to mess up.
I liked the herbal broth the most. It starts off with a lighter flavor that deepens the more ingredients you add. The beef broth was very sweet and not my favorite, but was a good change from the herbal broth every now and then. The Tom yum was tasty, spiced, and sour but I quickly got tired of the flavor after just a spoonful.
I felt the meat quality was very good and the serving sizes per plate were decent. We ordered 6 plates of meat to share between 3 people, including the other vegetables. The slices had decent marbling and tasted very fresh. My favorite was unexpectedly the pork belly.
The drinks were just okay. The Thai tea tasted strongly of coconut milk/creamer and didn’t have much tea flavor, but was still decent. I was told the mango milk tea tasted like a mango lassi in tea form, and did not try it myself.
The Thai dishes were also decent.
I was a little hesitant visiting Morfire for hotpot at first but was pleasantly surprised with my experience. The hotpot itself was decent and hot the spot on a cold fall night. The portion sizes and pricing were not bad all things considered, but definitely leans toward the pricier side in my opinion.
Had an incredible experience here. Somehow, my brother and I have never had hot pot before. This is Thai style hot pot. The broths were delicious and okay to drink straight which I understand is different than other styles of hot pot. Wish they had more variety of vegetables to choose from. I can’t wait to come back. Service was excellent, prices were fair.
What a gem! We had the split pot with beef broth and Tom Ka, with several types of veggies, meat and fish. Everything was delicious, and hot pot is such a fun experience! Plus very friendly service and a cozy small restaurant atmosphere. The cocktails were also fantastic, I ordered the Maroon Maroon which was delicious!
