Stadium Thai

Stadium Thai is a small, casual Thai kitchen on Division Avenue, at the seam where the Stadium District meets Wright Park and the north edge of downtown. It is a useful address for the way people actually move through this part of Tacoma: an early lunch before the park, or a straightforward dinner after a walk around the Stadium Bowl and the Seymour Conservatory end of Wright Park. Service is dine-in, carryout and delivery, and the operator publishes a spice-to-order policy, so heat levels are set at ordering rather than fixed by the recipe. Menu items highlighted by the restaurant include massaman curry, khao gra-prow gai khai dao and pineapple fried rice. The two things to plan around are the closing time, which is early relative to downtown's dinner-hour restaurants, and Sunday, when the kitchen does not open at all.

What to know

• The kitchen closes at 8:00 PM and is closed on Sundays — this is not a late-night option.
• Free parking is listed by the operator, which is unusual this close to downtown.

Editor's tips

• Pair it with Wright Park — the park and the conservatory are a short walk south, which makes an early dinner here an easy end to a Stadium District afternoon.
• Spice level is set to order, so say what you want when you order rather than assuming a house default.
