  Chef Binuya comes full circle in well-rounded Madoka, April 24, 2006

  Alvin Binuya?What's it to ya?Lemme tell ya.
  
  A generation ago — in restaurant years — so-called "fusion cuisine" was sweeping the nation and Alvin Binuya was a Vashon Island boy-done-good, standing at the forefront of that multicultural movement in Seattle.As executive chef of Ponti Seafood Grill, Binuya leaned directly into the cutting edge, stocking his pantry with Asian ingredients, his fridge with freshest seafood and his menu with memorable dishes like Thai curry penne with tomato chutney — still a best-seller 15 years after Seattle first tasted it.
  
  Binuya eventually moved from Ponti to its sister-restaurant, Axis, where he catered to a boozy Belltown crowd for the better part of a decade before leaving last spring; Axis closed its doors soon thereafter.Tired of the big-city restaurant rat race and in need of a creative jump-start, he left town to find his bliss, and he's found it at Madoka on Bainbridge Island.
  
  In partnership with general manager and Bainbridge Islander Jose Gonzales — as genial a front-of-the-houseman as a diner could hope to meet — Binuya has cooked up a Pan-Pacific restaurant tucked away on a quiet street in downtown Winslow, a hearty walk from the ferry landing.
  ...
  While the engaging flavors of Thailand, Japan and China are often evoked at Madoka, Binuya frequently delves into the Latin larder to accentuate the positive.
  
  Witness the chipotle-butter bathing "BBQ" Gulf prawns.

  Since we just moved to the area this year, we never made it to chef Alvin Binuya's previous Seattle gigs, Ponti Seafood Grill and Axis, but I understand they were both well-regarded.

  "Elegant" is again the word for Melanie, who waited on us both times, and is one of the most gracious servers we've encountered in a long time. (Service has been consistently close to impeccable, the only tiny glitch — quickly put right — being the arrival on one occasion of the wrong wine.) And under the vigilant eye of manager John Mickelsen, the dishes prepared by chef Alvin Binuya are as expertly executed as they are imaginatively conceived.
