The 50 best spots for fried chicken in Seattle

Ordered through 3rd Party Service. Chicken was okay. Good portion size. Reminded me of going to Deli section at a grocery store. Fries were okay. Macaroni and cheese was bland, needed more seasoning, and burned in some spots. Please add more cheese to the Macaroni and cheese. The Peach Cobbler had under-done dough and was very bland. I did enjoy the rolls. The rolls had a slight sweetness to them.

Ezell's was a tasty fried chicken option. We ordered via Door Dash and had 0 issues. I'd argue that the food across the board could use more spice, but everything was solid with a dipping sauce.

The food is alright very standard fried chicken. The order system isn’t smart. Because of it, I paid $20 more.

Ordered a family meal to go. I've been all over the South and eaten fried chicken from Texas to Tennessee and this was some of the BEST fried chicken I've had in my life! It was moist and flavorful. And the sides were delicious too! Can't wait to go back and get more on my next trip to Seattle!

Go to Popeye’s instead - you’ll wait longer but the taste is much better. There’s certainly nothing famous about the chicken here… spicy was bland, mashed potatoes were bland and there was hardly any gravy. Chicken was dry. Very much not a fan.

I don’t know man. I really like Ezell’s. Moving here from the Baltimore region and having spent a lot of time in the southeast I originally hated on this place and called the chicken bland, but having lived in Seattle for 5 years, I’ve really grown to enjoy it. The chicken isn’t always seasoned as well as other times, but even when it’s not heavily seasoned it hits. The spicy chicken tenders are great and the rolls are fantastic. Lived close to this place for the majority of my residency in this city and when I no longer live in Seattle, I feel I’ll really miss this place. Right across from an iconic high school, when I eat this chicken it makes me wish I grew up here, went to that high school, and got to chill with my friends eating it after school.

Amazing food! Very fast even though there was a line. Really nice people. My friend said this is their favorite spot for fried chicken and I’m inclined to agree. 😊

Located near the scenic Elliott Bay in Seattle, I decided to check out this spot after hearing it’s one of the best places in the city for hot chicken. The restaurant has a cool retro vibe, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like board games for groups. There’s also a bar area with a projector set up for game screenings, which added to the laid-back atmosphere. For my meal, I ordered the regular 3-piece tenders with hand-cut fries. Right off the bat, the chicken coating was flavorful and incredibly crunchy. Despite the heat level, the spices didn’t overpower the taste, the flavors still came through nicely. The chicken was cooked perfectly: tender and moist on the inside. The only downside was the service, which felt sluggish, especially considering there was only one other customer in the restaurant at the time.

The texture and flavors were overwhelming. Just a tip the greens were a tad too salty for me, but some rice and lemon juice or vinegar could cure that. portions enormous and heavy on richness. same owner for over 30 years. staff was friendly and accommodating.

Probably the best chicken I’ve ever had. Stopped to write this review after 3 bites. The atmosphere is very chill, feels like you’re at your auntie’s, especially with all the Knick-knacks lol. Glen was very courteous and took the time to explain the menu to me. A+ for Glen and A+ for the cooks who made the food.

Easily the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten! Amazing portion sizes! The flavours will blow your mind. Super crisp and very spicy! Must visit spot

Omg so goood! Loved everything we tried: mac&cheese w/bacon (it’s pork belly!) dark meat plate with Seattle Hot spice, dank fried pickles, delicious fried green tomatoes, got the the tenders with Nashville hot and oooooh boy so good flavor wise, definitely not for the faint of spicy heart! But the flavors were not overshadowed by the spice somehow! And all the sauces are amazing too, that malt aioli! YUM! Very cool atmosphere, excellent staff (Glenn crushed it) we will definitely be back!! Lots of food so beware you will need a good nap afterwards 😍🔥

Soooo beyond disappointed. I can only assume their average review is from the past, but as it presently stands avoid this place. We initially wanted to go because they had hush puppies! One of my favorite foods and can’t find it out here. Anyways… Only one server. He can’t be blamed, did his absolute best to keep everything moving in there. Props to him for being honest and trying his best. The food was… so disappointing. First of all, no hush puppies, the entire reason we chose to go here. No Mac and cheese. Fries came out cold and weren’t good even when hot. The catfish was okay (not super fresh tasting), but the batter was so thick and overcooked and greasy. Just crumbled right off first bite. Was true of the chicken as well. Okra was fine. Green tomatoes were fine. Nothing worth any amount of praise and extremely overpriced. Maybe it was just an off night, but seeing so many other reviews with similar experiences makes me think this place has some deeper problems. If the food had been good the decor would have been quirky and charming, but now it just feels creepy and gross. Currently sitting on the toilet and not feeling great. Would not recommend and would actively discourage.

got the Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles this was pretty interesting because it consisted of two completely separate foods with complete opposite flavor profiles starting with the chicken - I ordered the Nashville Hot spice level, which was the second highest spice level you can get. The first and most obvious thing about the chicken was that it was spicy. Like really spicy. That has to be the spiciest chicken I've ever had and it's not close. I was still able to finish both tenders without adding any extra sauce (the waffles helped) but my mouth was on fire at the end - I had to get in some ice cream While normally I like spicy food - I can't say I liked this spice as much because it seemed more like spice caked on to the breading as the seasoning itself - kind of like the only point of the breading was to be spicy. I didn't taste many other flavors in there. This made the eating experience of the chicken not super enjoyable as I didn't really enjoy each bite as much as I was just getting through it To add to this, the breading was nice and crispy, but it didn't attach to the chicken as well as I would like. It frequently peeled off the meat itself. It also didn't quite have the oily texture of good fried chicken - was a bit dry As far as the meat itself - I thought it was fine - nothing special but also nothing too bad. The thing that I really liked was the portion sizes of the chicken. While it wasn't super easy to get through, I did like the fact that the chicken filled me up I really appreciated the spice level in the chicken - but wish the breading was better and had more different flavors Get this if you're really craving spicy food The second part of this meal were the waffles - which were astoundingly good The waffle was soft but had real weight to it - each bite had a depth of dough that was fantastic In addition, the whiskey butter and maple syrup made the entire thing a truly amazing sweet experience It complimented the chicken so well - adding an excellent side flavor to each bite The way I would eat this is by cutting a piece of the waffle off, and either putting it in my mouth and taking a bite of the chicken or combining pieces of both onto a fork and eating it that way. The waffle's sweetness made the chicken tenders tolerable and significantly improved the overall experience The fried egg was fine Overall: Chicken was a 6.5/10, Waffles were a 9/10, so total 7.75/10

I ordered the chicken sandwich and it came out without the chicken and cold buns. All good, I am sure it was a mistake. I go back to ask for the sandwich and then they took back my bun and after checking it out they put a chicken tender in there. A SINGLE chicken tender. This was a $15 sandwich. And then when I went BACK and asked for a refund they said it was not a chicken tender it was a chicken breast. Picture will show that was not true. The cook said he would remake the sandwich and it would take 10-15 minutes. After 45 minutes I get a notification that my order was refunded and I never received the sandwich. Will not be returning.

The chicken sandwich has decent flavor but I don't think it was fresh. If fresh and hot this would be a 4/5. I like the pickles and the Kewpie Mayo. There is no service so to speak, you just order at a kiosk and get a text when your order is ready. It's placed on a rack by the kiosk. Still prompts you for a tip though, wild stuff. The bar/restaurant that Ma'ona is in, is a nice place to be however.

Had to try the crispy chicken sandwich. I got the medium heat. Was crispy and delicious. Definitely worth it.

One my continued hunt for the best chicken sammys, finally made it to Maono fried chicken. This place is inside the Rachel's ginger beer. Got the fried chicken sandwich ( Habanero heat level) and the chicken tenders. Unfortunately they were out of the drumsticks. The sandwich had the mist delicious buns and daikon pickles, right amount of spicy, and the juiciest and tender chicken in between. The chicken tenders were also worth it! I will be adding yours to my regular rotation and will back for more!

They are located inside the Rachel's Ginger Beer. They offer a handful of menu, with fried chicken as their main. We ordered a side of French Fries with Hot Honey-Mustard and Ranch dipping sauces. The fries were really good on its own, didn’t really need any dipping sauce! Soooo addictive! We also got one Chicken Sandwich to share. You can choose the “heat level” of your chicken, we went with Mild. I didn’t feel much of any heat, but packed with flavor! The sandwich held a huge chicken piece, with crunchy exterior, and super juicy & moist inside. Buns were soft, like clouds holding onto precious jewels of fried chicken, accompanied by crispy lettuce. Whatever the sauce they used here was amazing too. Superb! The food really took the center stage here, as I was not a big fan of the drink I ordered from RGB. I am glad Ma’ono was there to save the day!

I ordered medium-level chicken tenders and after one bite, my lips were on fire. When I asked to replace it with a mild version, the bartender at RGB refused to do anything about it.

this place legit needs to figure out their staffing issues. other locations are always solid but this one seems uniquely terrible in terms of food quality and service.

I wanted to get some Spicy chicken strips. I love their fried chicken!! The spicy chicken strips are delicious! They are always crispy and cooked well! I got the fries as a side they serve crinkle cut fries. They were good. They have all kinds of sides and dipping sauces. The employees are always polite and professional! Love this place and I will return!

I can only speak to their fried chicken livers; well worth the wait, they take a little more time than most of their other items. I always eat them in the parking lot, rarely ever having anything left to take home. Since they fry the livers when ordered, they’re best eaten fresh and hot from the fryer. Sadly, the owner is closing his doors at the end of February and Seattle will lose its best fried chicken shop.

Amazing food, terrible customer service. Like everyone else, when I heard Heaven Sent was closing I rushed to get food there yesterday. I didn't mind waiting a long time as I understood everyone was in the same boat. After getting home I realized I didn't receive one of the sides I was charged for and that the employee listed off before he handed me my bag of food. Well, since I had to wait about 45 minutes for food and then drive over half an hour home, I didn't have enough time to drive back to the store before they closed. I tried calling but no one answered and their voicemail was full. Today I called right when they opened, receipt in hand, and asked for a refund of the item I didn't get. The lady on the phone told me to come in when they open later in an hour. I said I liver over 30 minutes away can you please process the refund over the phone and she said "come in physically". So I now i either have to drive an hour round trip or make a donation for food I didn't receive. Very frustrating. Aside from that all around failing...this really is the best fried chicken. Great flavor and crunch but not oily. Truly Heaven Sent.

Okay I had to come back to this one. I initially visited this place because of the whole Oprah flying it over deal. I was hyped, but also super full from our trip, and the whole thing felt way too greasy. I ate a piece, called it over hyped but decided to pack it up for later. Best decision I made that day. I got home, and about 24 hours later I gave it another go. It was the most fulfilling bite of fried chicken I had in years! I think either I was just too full the first time or maybe reheating it brought something out... But damn good chicken. Will definitely go back the next time I visit.

I really was hoping to like the food, but it's a no for me. I ordered with 2pc reg w/fries and a side of gravy. Despite the chicken being mad crispy, it didn't taste like anything. The chicken is lacking flavor, and 👎🏾 for them not cleaning the fat off the chicken thigh. On to the gravy🥴🥴....based on the look and consistency, I just knew it would be bomb! It tasted burnt, that's literally the only flavor that was present, was a burnt flavor. I wish the items I had tasted better because I strongly dislike having to rate establishments under 3, but I have to be honest of my experience and the taste of the food.

Best Fried Chicken In The World 🌎 Ask Oprah Congrats My Friend Mr E! You are the GOAT 🐐 Greatest in the world! Love you.

Friendly staff, delicious food and definitely more tasty than the various “Ezells” locations around WA. I came today right when they opened and was not disappointed with the service or food. My only issue is that there aren’t any locations closer to the south side of seattle but hope to see some in the future. 🙏🏽 the drive was worth it and I’ll be back. Thank you 😊

Despite the horrors of Seattle, this chicken spot always hits different. Unfortunately, it looks like their interior has been closed down, but that has not stopped the flavor train. My chicken sandwich was shatteringly crisp and flavorful! I also had their fries and kimchi Mac and cheese. Both were on point! Well worth risking a trip to Seattle for this iconic spot!

Bok a Bok Chicken delivers some of the best Korean-inspired fried chicken in Seattle. The OG Chicken Wings are a must-try, boasting a perfectly crispy coating and just the right amount of spice. For a unique twist, the Fish Sauce Caramel Wings pack a sweet and savory punch that’s absolutely addictive. We ordered from The RunAway Bar, and the process was seamless, with everything arriving hot and fresh. Bok a Bok is a winner for chicken wings lover.

This place is AWESOME for a grab and go meal. This is my go to when I’m going out, hanging out with friends at Stoup (which will be delivered there for free), or needing a quick dinner fix after a long day. The staff is friendly, you can’t go wrong with what you order, it’s all amazing. I love the variety of sauces you can choose from, the prices are decent for Seattle, and I’m always satisfied with my meal. The location is a pick up window on a sidewalk, not ideal for an on location sit-down meal, but well worth trying.

It's just a counter in a wall -- no seating or interior for guests. I stood there and totally missed it for a bit! The menu isn't too big so you don't get lost in choices. I appreciate this. They make a few items and make them well. I got fried chicken thighs and kimchi mac and cheese. Both were delicious! I chose two sauces and was impressed by both. The one with honey clearly tasted like honey so they weren't lying or cheaping out. Their OG double-dipped fried chicken is wonderful, especially as it's gluten free. It's such a rarity to find GF chicken and I'm glad I was able to check them out. Highly recommended.

I got the chicken strips and dirty tots, the tots were amazing! The chicken was a little dry for my liking but maybe it would be better with the thighs. I am highly sensitive Celiac and had no reaction after eating! Excellent gluten free choice, wish they had seating though.

I've been coming here for several years to get the fish sauce wings, but the quality has really went downhill within the last year or two. They used to be so good! The chicken is still good and the breading is super nice and crispy, but the fish sauce caramel sauce is so thin and bland now. It used to be much darker and thicker with more fish sauce tang, but now it just kind of tastes like honey water and the wings aren't coated in it like they used to be. They also really skimp on the herbs and chilies that they put on top now. I ordered take out and they gave me a plastic sauce container with 5 or 6 little flakes of herbs. I'm hoping they find a way to get back to the old quality because I really miss those wings.

The chicken is solid and it’s normally juicy and tastes good. I just really wished that the batter was a little bit less on the wings, they put more of the dry rub (sometimes it comes with barely any), and that they had some good blue cheese because whatever they sell you as blue cheese is closer to ranch.

Good: The chicken was super juicy and delicious! I really liked the Cole slaw Not so good: They didn't have corn so several sides were not available :( Other notes: My personal preference is for crispier fried chicken/a thicker coating than what Cookie's does which is on the thinner/lighter side.

The chicken was good, but the fries stole the show. I can’t remember the last time I had French fries that were so perfect. Went for the chicken and now I literally can’t stop thinking about those fries…

Hands down our favorite place to grab fried chicken. Recommend any of their sandwiches or 2-3 pieces combo with coleslaw. Their staff are extremely friendly, however it’s best to order in advance so that you are not at the end of a very long line. Highly Recommend!

Really good chicken. I feel like Seattle is lacking in good chicken places and this was a satisfying place to go. Husband and I both got the Barn Burner (0 and 2 spice levels) and sides. Great place for lunch!

A literal hidden gem of seattle! Go there! Go now!!! The food flavor, quality, quantity, price, everything was CHEFS KISS! My new favorite spot and I will be frequenting!

Delicious fried chicken, flavorful and juicy! Generous portions, reasonable priced. The host is very nice and friendly. I really enjoyed the classic chicken sandwich and the mashed potato!

Super nice kids working the floor, and the chicken is cooked perfectly. Needs tons more seasoning to keep up with other places in town, though. They DO offer a bunch of really spicy pepper levels, but without those, the batter just tastes like white flour. They clearly do most of the work if not all in-house. This is very close to scratch-made chicken, and for a good price. Comes out so hot you have to take the skin off and still wait 5 minutes before it's cool enough to eat. Fries were great. Decent selection of drinks. Carnival corn was okay, mac and cheese was mushy and under-seasoned. I might have gotten my expectations too high here, given the great word of mouth they have.

We got the bucket and a few sides, which was plenty for 4 people + leftovers. Great fries. Karaage pieces were too big and light in color. Smaller pieces and a crisper fry would have been fantastic. Good sauces. Great edamame (lots of garlic and sauce). Okay potato salad and fried rice. Had some trouble with the mobile POS system, but in the end my friend's card went through (third times a charm). Nice staff. Cool bathrooms. Those uncomfortable metal industrial bistro chairs are a major downside to this restaurant.

Wonderful experience. This restaurant has great vibes and very friendly staff. You can order from the comfort of your table with a very simple system and different options to pay. Food and drinks came quickly and nicely presented. The Karage was delicious, great fried rice. Cold Sake was superb.

I originally ordered take out because I was sick. Oh my lord take out does not do this place justice. As a culinary fan of Shota, I wanted to go in person. Going in person the food is easily 10000 times better. Staff is friendly and helpful. I love the contactless styled payment option so you can leave when you're done or order more! Stickers are everywhere. Food was fresh and delightful. I will forever order the coleslaw. This place puts Dave's Hot Chicken to shame. And probably every other fried chicken place to shame. Also there's a fun vending machine in the building. That was a fun find the second time. You can always keep coming back and finding new stuff. It's amazing.

Visited shortly after opening and had the luck to find sitting space at the bar. Here, you get to order and pay online, which makes the process seamless. On my second visit, it was even better. The staff was friendly and focus on their tasks. The food arrived fairly quick and if you seat at the bar, you get to see the whole process. The chicken was crunchy and moist, as all chicken should be. We had the spicy teriyaki and bonito/soy versions. The first was excellent but the latter was lite on the flavor. The fries were hot and crisp. Overall a great place to stop for a quick snack and drink.

They check your ID before you get seated. I ordered highball and some chicken. The atmosphere was good and staff were nice, but not sure about food and drinks here. Chicken was crispy outside and tender inside but the seasoning didn't go well with fried chicken. Highball could be better, perhaps by adjusting the ratio.

The chicken and the fries are decent and they make good sauces, but the food was nothing to spectacular. Having watched Top Chef and really wanting to visit Shota’s restaurant, was a little disappointed to find some of the dishes like the cauliflower being too salty and that was really the main issue with a lot of the dishes. Glad I’ve tried it but probably won’t revisit again.

The salt and pepper chicken was so good! Itself was cooked to perfection, with a crispy outer coating that was perfectly seasoned and a juicy, tender interior. Love the vibe of the place. FYI you have to be 21 and over to eat inside. Good service.

Awesome fried chicken but be ready for a thick, THICC coating. If you're afraid of cracking a tooth come for the sides. The rice, potatoes and sauces are on point. Zero complaints. Chicken is juicy and really spicy if you swing that way. Overall a Heavy Highly Recommended from me.

I came here because The Chicken Supply has great reviews, so I wanted to give it a try. The crispy coating was actually really good. It has a unique texture that tastes like there’s some rice or sticky rice in it, giving it a light sweetness and chew. If you like slightly sweet batter, you’ll love that part. The chicken was well-marinated. The sad part was that when I bit in, I could see there was a solid yellow chunk of chicken fat between the crust and the meat. I had to separate the chuck of chicken fat that I seldom do in a fried chicken restaurant. Imo in good fried chicken, the fat should melt into the meat, but this hadn’t. More concerning, I felt stomach discomfort later in the evening.☹️ The floor in the restaurant was greasy, which didn’t leave a good impression. Overall, the fried chicken has a distinctive style and it’s worth trying. But my physical discomfort makes me hard to rate more than 2/5. Definitely overhyped for me.

I was craving Chicken and something sweet after that. They had both the options with drinks .We had Parts (drum, wings, thigh,all chicken mixed) and butter mochi. Such huge chicken portions, It was a lot for two of us. They adjust the spice level as per liking. Not a lot of space indoors .They have in-house 17% tip automatically added to the bill.

Best fried chicken I’ve ever had! Staff were super nice and place was really clean. 5/5

You can eat in the restaurant! I thought it was takeout only but they offered for us to eat in house when we were picking up our to go order. It's a small shop but good vibes and lots of fun watching the cooks hustle. Wow the chicken is phenomenal!! I love the stuff here. The chicken was juicy and the batter was perfectly crispy. It's an in between of American fried chicken and Korean fried chicken plus more seasoning. Some pieces had a sweeter taste than others because the seasoning is sprinkled on top after the chicken is fried. My favorite was definitely the wings. Most juicy cut and lots of crispy skin. My partner prefers chicken tenders so he loved the chicken stick, which was super juicy and not at all how I imagined it would be. Some sides are a bit disappointing, but the garlic rice was definitely the best one. I'd get that one again!

More like not enough supply! Get here early if you want a chicken thigh. I was 1st in line and they ran out of thighs 10 minutes after they opened. I got the spicy thigh and a leg and it was the biggest chicken thigh I think I’ve ever eaten. Extremely crunchy chicken and great flavor. Monggo Beans and rice were awesome. The Sweet Onion Hot Sauce is a MUST TRY. Not hot really but an awesome flavor and sauce for the chicken. Total seen here with drink came out to about $29 I think, and definitely had leftovers.

I ordered takeout ahead of time for our at home date night. We are new parents! Everything we ordered really hit the spot. The crust stayed crunchy and crispy and the spice mix was the bomb. All the chicken pieces were huge. So ended up with leftovers. I preferred the wings over the things. Garlic rice didn’t live up to the expectations. Marinated vegetables were very flavorful. I will definitely order them next time. The dessert butter mochi was the best part of the meal. Hubby and I were fighting over the last bite. Definitely order ahead!

You hear "the best _______ in town" all the time and it's almost always a bold faced lie forged in the bowels of The Pit Of Lies underneath the Lying Mountains in the far realms of Liars Reach, but when I decided to test the statement I heard that this place is the best friend chicken in Seattle I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this is, indeed, the best fried chicken in Seattle. Ezells? Pfft. That place is spotty and usually dry. Quick Pack, however.... This is the stuff. Juicy, seasoned, big pieces and it's super affordable. You get 2-4x as much for your money than other places and it's better than any other place. The exterior looks like an abandoned building and the inside looks like The Walking Dead and Mad Max had a baby, but the chicken is the only thing you need to care about, which is good because that's pretty much all they have. There's a cooler case with some sodas and a small shelf with a couple snack items on it but who cares because you're here for the chicken. And the jo jos. Trust me.

Got the 2 breast and 3 leg meal for about $18 after tax Tastes delicious and as you can tell from the picture they give you A LOT of food for the money spent. I've heard from a few that this is the best fried chicken in Seattle and after trying it I believe it Parking is very dicey here when it gets busy. I'd park on the street nearby next time Also, if you want chicken breasts it's best to call ahead as they sell out quick! Only had to wait 10 minutes for them to fry up a fresh batch though

This place needs to be renames “Quick Pack Fried Chicken.” Not sure how much it’s used for a food mart. The fried chicken is beautifully fried to a dark golden brown with a crunch that will knock your socks off. The chicken retains its moisture despite the dark crispy dry and the seasoning is spot on. The jojos I got were cold and soggy, but I bet they are bomb as well when fresh. Would 100% return for a quick chicken pick up!

The fried chicken is fair priced with good flavour, it's bit dry tho.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. I did. For over a year, I drove by this place on my way home from work and never took it seriously. I just tried this spot and am about to move into a new neighborhood. Learn from my lessons - visit sooner than I did! FYI a chicken wing is the entire wing, not just a portion of one, so 7 Ethiopian fried wings is more like 21 US fried wings. Meaty with the most delicious crust - add your own hot sauce or ask for some at the counter! I’m a wing connoisseur- I taste them sea to shining sea - this is the best fried wing cook 😋

Front line staff & owner are welcoming with big smiles and start up a conversation with your order. The fried chicken is great. Recommend to everyone! 😀

I love this food mart! Its a staple of the community. I get fried chicken and jojos and a coke for lunch. I honestly believe that they really do make the best fried chicken that I've tried. They offer a nice hot sauce you can put on the side or on top. The owners are very friendly and kind and remember me, and often are open to small conversation.

We went for a late lunch on Sat. The restaurant was full but the wait was minimal. I had the shrimp and grits plus a side of catfish. The catfish was really good, crispy and light. I found the shrimp and grits a bit heavy and the gravy monotonous but hubby really liked it. He had the benedict (so so) with biscuit (nice and crunchy on the outside and pillowy buttery soft on the side). My sweet tea was really light and smooth. I would definitely go back for the catfish and biscuits and try more stuff on the menu. Great southern diner ambience. The service was a bit spotty because only one guy was really hustling. The ladies were chatting VERY loudly to each other most of the time so we had to flag them down to order and get served. They were a bit hot and cold.

I had this place on my list for over a month before visiting Seattle. Did NOT disappoint!! The owner and staff are absolutely incredible. The food…. My goodness, truly something special going on in that kitchen!! The breakfast sandwich was absolutely mouth watering. Wife and I would have to say the honey butter smothered brisket with the crispy chicken was the best we’ve ever had! The drinks bloody mary and mimosas definitely hit the spot. And when the first thing to hit the table was these beignets, you know it’s about to be an experience!

Congratulations on their 10 year anniversary! We were recommended this local Black owned restaurant and they did not disappoint. It was my partners first time trying chicken and waffles and the flavours were so good we’re still thinking about it. Take advantage of their happy hour deals on the food and 2 for $5 beers! The staff were so friendly, we would come back just to talk to them. Hopefully we’re back soon :)

Some of the best brunch I’ve ever had. Everything was amazing in a casual setting. Tasted fresh and authentic, cool place with great costumer service. Make sure you try one of their cocktails too, they’re definitely not shy with the liquor. Next time I’m in Seattle, definitely will be my first stop. Highly recommend, but come with a big appetite.

This place should be on everyone’s food map in Seattle (if you have one)! We came in around 5:20 pm, so we were able to be seated pretty quickly (group of 4), which was a relief considering we expected to wait a while to get a table. While we waited for our food, we saw the place fill up pretty quickly, so we were excited about the stuff we ordered. As the people who came before us started getting served and we could see the portions and looks of the items, our excitement was through the roof. We ended up ordering the Fat’s Sampler, Seafood Sampler, and Chicken and Waffles. This has to be some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had! Perfectly crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Their Honey Buttered Biscuit is totally worth the hype too, has to be one of the best Biscuits I’ve ever had. Overall, the food experience lived up to our expectations and we will definitely be back for some more! Service can get slow when the place gets super busy, but that’s okay because we found the wait to be totally worth it. The staff here tries to create a homely, welcoming, and warm atmosphere, which is something that missing in many other “popular” food places around the city. Seeing the staff interact with our tables and others definitely brought smiles to our faces :) Overall, I’d give this place an 11/10 and highly recommend it, even if there’s a bit of a wait involved!

We went here with friends, not expecting they would have much for us as vegetarians, but they were super amenable. Not only did they have good options on the normal menu, but our friend recommended the BLT so we got that and they substituted the bacon with fried green tomato. The sandwich felt fresh and flavorful and worked well with the hot suaces they had. It took a bit to come out but that is because they make everything there so it takes time. Worth the wait. They are also super friendly as well. I think they could single handedly break the seattle freeze if given the chance. Overall a great spot for a southern bite which is not something you would find in seattle elsewhere

I had a very pleasant experience. The food was AMAZING!! Cooked to order - hot and fresh - full of flavor and nice portions. The place was very welcoming with nice Afrobeats, Amapiano, and R&B style music playing. It was very clean and smelled nice. The owners, Erika and Erika were incredible. The two joked with me about how I was in my own world just eating & dancing while awaiting my food, I told them how I just moved to the area from California and Erika told me about some great events to meet new people and have fun. She even went as far as sharing Instagram pages for local DJs and event promoters so I’d know good spots to hand out. Overall I had a 10/10 experience, I’ll definitely be back!

Good brunch spot on capital hill, got my family of 4 in on Mother’s Day rather quickly. Good service, decent coffee. Parking is a bit difficult and the sandwiches a bit messy but overall I’d go again!

Was excited to try this place for Saturday brunch…. it was ALMOST good. Maybe it was an off day. I asked our waitress if the gravy that comes with the breakfast skillet would be provided on the side, and she confirmed that yes, it was. When I received it, portions of the skillet were drenched in gravy… it was wayyy too salty to the point that whatever I ate under the gravy was unpalatable. Was not happy with this, especially after I had specifically asked. :( The stack of pancakes were nice and fluffy though!! So this was a sliver of redemption. The bacon for Your Way was several touches too crisp, it was like eating chips. The chicken for the chicken and waffles was well-seasoned but under fried with a soggy crust, but the cornmeal waffle had an interesting texture; it wasn’t crisp like we were expecting and also borderline soggy, but we ended up deciding it was alright. Just some minor tweaks are needed.

We got the chicken and waffles plate and the chicken sandwich. The chicken has a heavy pepper flavor, almost like that is the only seasoning that they use here, the good side is that the meat was tender. The waffle is a bit lacking in flavor. The jalapeno aoli that comes with the sandwich is unnecessarily spicy, we thankfully got it in the side, but the sandwich needs some moisture so make sure to get something if you order this. The only good side about this place is that the food is very filling.

Super cute space. Staff was friendly. The food was mid. The Cluck Chub was decent. The Breakfast Skillet was 👎. It was super pricey given the food quality. The portions were great but didn’t out way the quality.

My food was great. Not that many people in diner when I visited. Highly recommend their chicken sandwiches. Parking can be tricky for first time visitors.

A diner like setting with ok food. I found the sizing of the portion to be large which is nice. But the taste of the food was too salty They give a 10% discount for a 5 star review on yelp, so if you look at the reviews on that platform take them with a grain of salt

Eight of us walked in at the 10am on a Saturday and were able to be seated immediately. Eddie our server was awesome. Lots chicken and flavorful combinations of breakfast and lunch served all day.

Milk drunk is a yummy spot for chicken sandwiches and soft serve ice cream. Basic sandwich | $11 | 9/10 - really enjoyed this chicken sandwich, the breading is a good texture, very light and crunchy. I wish it had a little more kick to it, as the pickles are not very vinegary and didn’t get any light heat from pepper or mild spice. Tenders & curly fries | $15 | 7/10 - the curly fries are delicious, again nicely crispy and yummy seasonings. The tenders were also decent, but preferred the chicken sandwich more. Chocolate malt shake | $7 | 8/10 - flavor itself was nice and chocolatey but still felt not too heavy/creamy. Service/Vibe - Came at a busy time so service was a little slow which I can understand. The place itself has very little indoor seating, tables are smushed in so you’d be up close with the people sitting next to you. There’s outdoor seating, but only good when the weather is nice.

Overall Rating: 4.5 of 5 (9/10) We swung by this spot on our way to Canada (we picked some friends up in this area) we got a vanilla with M&Ms, strawberry, matcha with chocolate and a vanilla with butterscotch hard shell. All in all everything was good! You can't really go wrong with ice cream. The butterscotch was mine and I can say the flavor was really good of the shell, the vanilla was a basic vanilla. They had a good source of variety. And the place was popular! Would come again.

Delicious food, fast friendly service, small drinks. The portabello mushroom burger is delicious very crispy fry with a moist mushroom center. The strips are large and crispy with a generous serving of fries. The house hot honey is sweet with a great kick. My only reason for four instead of five stars is that the drinks are pricey for the size and I found myself a little disappointed by that.

Solid chicken sandwiches! A little stringy on the chicken bite but was flavorful, crispy and a nice sized sandwich. Went with the Basic and Original. Would get Basic again + a side of general tso! Curly fries are good - got the crunchy end pieces which are still good but got sad seeing all the other tables after us get nice basket of actual curly-curly fries! So that was a little bummer... Star of the show were the Mozzarella sticks! Cheese pull! I would def come back for that alone! Must get mozz sticks + any of their other sauces! Ice Cream was good - we got the vegan strawberry but will come back to try the chocolate malt and/or swirl! Limited indoor seating and lots of outdoor seating. Very close to transit - quick easy ride from downtown!

10 out of 10 would eat again! Fun vibe, with yummy soft serve. Portions are great for the price. Chicken cooked perfectly. Try all the sauces!! Location is good because it's right off the Beacon Hill light rail station. There is some seating inside. And there's some outside in front of the restaurant across the sidewalk. It gets busy but the wait for food was quick. And the wait for ice cream was even quicker. This time I got the strawberry soft serve. And it reminded me more of sherbet then ice cream per se. Although it had the soft serve texture. If you like chocolate the malted chocolate is the way to go. If you want something not too chocolatey get the swirl with vanilla. There's also a matcha version but you can only get that by itself or with the strawberry.

I saw this place on TikTok and it had very aesthetically pleasing food, I dined in and ordered a Nashville Hot chicken sandwich and a vanilla chocolate swirl ice cream, the chicken sandwich was quite large and looked good. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to chew and very stringy. The ice cream was okay, it was average but the cone was very hard, I didn’t realize until after purchasing they kept their ice cream cones out all day which was disappointing because I paid extra for the waffle cone. They had a good variety of food but limited ice cream flavors, It was quite loud inside of the restaurant but they also had outdoor seating. Overall, I would not visit again but it was fun to try.

Pure Indulgence at Milk Drunk - A Five-Star Feast! From the moment we walked into Milk Drunk, we knew we were in for something special, but the reality far exceeded our expectations! This spot has absolutely nailed the art of elevated comfort food. The special fish sandwich was a revelation. Forget your typical greasy fish fry – this was a perfectly cooked, flaky piece of fish nestled in a fantastic bun with thoughtfully curated toppings that sang in harmony. Every bite was a delightful balance of textures and flavors. Then came the double fried chicken sandwich. Oh. My. Goodness. Crispy doesn't even begin to describe the exterior, giving way to incredibly juicy and flavorful chicken. The layers of deliciousness in this sandwich were simply addictive. It's the kind of sandwich you keep thinking about long after you've finished it. And let's not forget the supporting cast! The curly fries were perfectly cooked – crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside – and that garlic sauce? Pure magic. It elevated a simple side to something truly craveable. We were practically licking the container clean. But the grand finale, the pièce de résistance, was the malted chocolate soft serve with the chocolate shell. This dessert was a nostalgic dream come true, but with a sophisticated twist. The malty flavor of the soft serve was rich and satisfying, and that crackly chocolate shell added the perfect textural contrast and an extra layer of decadent chocolatey goodness. It was the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was buzzing with a happy energy. Milk Drunk isn't just a place to grab a sandwich; it's an experience. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients and a clear passion for flavor. If you're looking for a truly outstanding and memorable meal in Seattle, look no further than Milk Drunk. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Five stars all the way!

Yummy wings!!! We got the Large order of wings (20 pieces). We split the order into 10 Korean wings and 10 Chili Jam wings. The table we were at was sticky. It did not get cleaned very well.

Chi Mac is the local KBBQ place in UDistrict, but I’m not particularly impressed by the prices or chicken or atmosphere. Every is just kind of okay, but even while going here to eat at peak lunch hours, the place just feels a little mediocre, much like the chicken. Overall, the local KBBQ, but for the price and location, I’d recommend looking around more.

Got wings and popcorn chicken over rice. The wings were good and have a choice of different seasonings. You can also just get the seasons on side if you wish to try different ones. Found classic Korean one to be best. For the popcorn chicken over rice the chicken part is good but there's not really much of flavor other than that as it's just literally plain rice and cheese.

First of all, I walked in, and there were some old Korean folks sitting by the window. OK, if Korean folks are willing to go to a Korean place, that's where it's at! And I trust the old folks! Honestly, not bad. I went in, ordered immediately, and the food came out within 7 minutes. That's pretty quick, honestly! I like the lighting and the sort of industrial revival look of this place. The only thing I have to complain about is that the tables and chairs were a little bit sticky, so they may have to use some stronger chemicals to get that grime out. Other than that though, food was great, service was quick and good, and I like the fact that they actually give you finger gloves to keep your fingers clean while picking up the chicken, although, I would have preferred the full-palm plastic gloves. Still worth hitting up for a quick bite!

Their chicken is top notch and you cant go wrong with any of the options. From wings to chicken strips made from chicken thighs. I liked the garlic cheese powder on top but the korean spicy sauce is tasty as well. The fried rice was a good addition to my meal and was flavorful.

best SERVICE & FOOD on the ave. wish this place existed when i was a UW student.. but glad to see it’s a storefront on the ave today as an alum. ordered pretty much everything on the menu and the dishes did not disappoint. the hostess and staff also held it down welcoming and catering to everyone that came in on a busy weekend night. whether you live in the seattle area or not, you gotta come check this place out to get your korean chicken fix. side note - they provide these cute finger gloves for your food so your fingers don’t get dirty!

ChiMac is the place to go for your Korean Fried Chicken craving. The chicken is always very crispy and delicious and the sauce is addictive! Mon-Wed they also have 50% off drinks after 7 which is a great deal. Staff is very kind and accommodating.

I was super excited to come to the First Hill location. I ordered soy garlic wings with Cole slaw. I got the soy garlic mix of wings and drums with cole slaw instead. The chicken was cooked really well. The inside was still nice and juicy. Had I never been to a Bonchon, I would have scored this location score higher. Unfortunately, having been to Bonchon in NYC (the 38th st location, the one in K-town on 5th Ave, and the one in the Financial District on John Street before they closed it down), I can say this place ranks number 2 or 3 on the list of Bonchons. How a place sauces their chicken is second to how well the chicken is cooked. This chicken was cooked really well but what would have made the experience over the top would be the sauce. It didn't have the finger-licking good garlicky quality I expected and I felt that it was drizzled on the chicken, not fully coated as I preferred. Overall, I would still recommend this place and would return if I am in the area.

Went here after some friends recommended it. I think I tried it twice and both times I really liked it. Their spicy wings are pretty good and I would recommend that. It is not super spicy but pretty good. We also tried the soy garlic which was okay. The other thing I liked was the fried rice which had a great portion and was pretty appetizing.

Worst Bonchon chicken I’ve had. I’ve had Bonchon in Chicago, D.C, and Boston, each time were pleasant experiences and I loved Bonchon because of how massive the chicken drumsticks were. This location’s doing something wrong and it’s an insult to Bonchon Here? This specific Seattle location, my first time getting it from here was in the restaurant itself. I was craving Bonchon like crazy and was expecting the chicken to come out as heaping hot, crispy, and huge as my other times eating with Bonchon. Nope. I was disappointed and had to eat Bonchon without a soul in my eyes, it was as if I had went to wingstop and asked for their ethnic asian sauces on their chicken. The drumsticks are about 2/3 smaller than the expected drumstick at any other location, and the chicken is expected to stay crispy after a long period of time, even after being microwaved. 2nd experience with this location, I had free $30 ubereats credit and felt like Korean Fried Chicken, had Pelicana and Bonchon as options at the time. Figured maybe Bonchon could redeem themselves? Ordered from them, comes in a nice box, a meal set for 4 but it was really only enough for 2 because of how embarrassingly small their chicken is. Chicken skin was a mix of crispy limp because of moisture and their inefficient fake-Bonchon method of frying. Even the fries were better. Definitely should have ordered from Pelicana instead, they’re 20x better than the Seattle Bonchon location. Hopefully the bigwigs at Bonchon get enough critiques for this spot and care enough to get this location trained to become a real Bonchon. LEFT PIC IS FROM VIRGINIA RIGHT PIC IS FROM ILLINOIS you can see why im disappointed if you go to the Seattle Bonchon and expect their usual sized chicken

I’ve eaten at Bonchon 1-3 times a month since June and it’s always a slay! Love the boneless wings and the sliders, but I feel like my life changed when I tried the chicken katsu for the first time. It’s amazing! Service is always great, great value for the money, big fan over here.

I was in Seattle last week and decided to have lunch at Bochon Korean fried chicken. It is a brand new only open for about a month. We got there around 11:15am and they open at 11:30am. We were second in line. When the place open at 11:30am, it was pack very quickly. We ordered some Korean fried chicken and other dishes. It took almost an hour before our food came out. It was good but the wait was long. I would give it a 5 star but the place didn't even have ice tea.

Service was great being a brand new restaurant adjusting to the public. Atmosphere is very clean and modern, nice branded wood tables and sturdy chairs. Branded napkins, nice new heavy forks real glass glasses. The food was good. Not exceptional in my opinion but good. The chicken was the best item I tasted, it's crunchy and just a bit juicy. Though it did seem like it was not fresh. Spicy had just enough kick and did not over stay it's welcome. The potstickers we're ok and lacked flavor in themselves and come basted in the same sauce as the wings. The coleslaw tasted just like KFC, take that as you will. The price is something else that needs to be discussed. Our lunch came to over $60 (including tip). We got 2 combos, a side of potstickers and fries as well as a soda. I came out full, my friend did not. Halving the price would bring this to 5 stars from me and likely make me a weekly regular, at it's current price point I may visit once a month or so.

Came through during their soft opening and there was a line well before opening. Luckily there was a spot for us and we got immersed in the menu. Besides the friend chicken that they're known for, they have a bunch of other bomb Korean and Asian. Got the large half & half and was definitely impressed. The chicken was a generous size for four people and it was very satisfying. They had the perfect crunch and great balance of flavor. It's not too overwhelming with sweetness like some places nor does it feel greasy. The spicy wings were amazing, they had a good kick towards the end but the spice didn't overpower the flavor. We got the pickled radishes to go with then and even the radishes had a great balance of flavor. More things to go with the chicken, the seasoned fries were definitely worth and offered a good break in between the wings. Also, we had an order of the tteoppoki and it was great. It had a warm kick, cheese on top, and some fried glass noodles wrapped in seaweed. All in all, it came out to $63 before tip for 4 people and we were full and happy. Can't wait until this place fully opens up, so much more menu items I want to try!

The chicken pop-up at Rachel’s Ginger Beer serves a solid chicken sandwich and fries. I usually get the mild chicken sandwich—it has a good cayenne-style chili flavor with just the right amount of heat. Definitely a reliable option if you’re in the area.

Ordered the fried chicken drumsticks and they are crispy and large sized. However, too salty without any of their sweet sauces to dip in. You have to clarify whether the first dip is free coz when you head to the counter, it’s says $1.XX. I would say it’s fair pricing for the setup and a pretty filling meal in view of the horrible inflation in the US.

I got the plant based fried “chicken” and it was so delicious; I got it with a side of corn! I love a good fried chicken sandwich, but was curious about their non-meat option. Definitely would go back to try a real fried chicken sandwich.

Idk if I came on a bad day (Friday evening) but it was not as good as I expected. Chicken was small (smaller than the bun) and I got the hot spice level, but it wasn’t even that hot. And the sandwich alone was $17 ish after tax too 😭😭 I’ll stick to shake shack I fear

Great spicy chicken sandwich, love the crunch of the chicken and toasted buns.

I love this place, they have the absolute best fried chicken, their sandwich is to die for I recommend mild spice for a good balance of spice and flavor. Being attached to Rachel’s Ginger Beer makes this whole place fantastic.

so sad i love maonos but my one time at this location just wasn’t great. no tenders :( the sandwich was almost $18 and when i opened it up the chicken covered maybe half the area of the bun. such a bummer. edit: i was reached out to. will change to 5 stars and see if my next experience is better. thanks for the attentiveness.

Mala ramen was pretty solid, has a good numbing taste and noodle texture is ok. Interior is a bit smaller and more intimate so definitely try to go during less busy hours. Overall service is not bad, just order at the front and they give it to you at the table. The gyoza and vegetarian ramen were good, overall a chill spot to try but nothing exceptional.

The food is absolutely incredible! Must-tries include the mala ramen and the Malaysian spicy fried chicken. We loved our meal and will be recommending this place to anyone seeking a truly unique ramen experience you won't find anywhere else in Seattle.

This is a great ramen place for a quick bite to each, lunch, or if you’re craving a different kind of ramen altogether. With very pork-themed options (hence the name), this is a great ramen spot for people who love a good meat-centered broth and flavor.

Was looking forward to trying this shop since i saw the good reviews... was met with mediocre ramen in a tiny shop. Literally sitting on stools in a cramped dining area, you pay $20 to order at a tablet and grab your own food from a counter. Barely any interaction at all from staff. Broth was okay, but pork, egg, and noodles were all overcooked and cold. Won't be coming back, unfortunately.

Don't let the hole in the wall appearance fool you. There is a steady stream of customers and the tables stayed full. Owner was so nice and didnt make fun of me asking for a fork! Would definitely eat there again!

The food was tasty and the service was fast. It’s self service place and you buss your own table. It’s good for in and out quick meal. We parked in the supermarket and it was free for an hour. We did shop afterwards at the market.

I wish I had took photos of the food we got the mala ramen and it was amazing! If you like a good level of spicy get level 3. The service was quick and friendly. The owner is there sometimes and she was amazing to talk to. If you are looking for a good spot to get some soup on a rainy Seattle day you should definitely come here

We had broasted chicken with jojos. I would say it’s good. This is a Tavern that have lots of locals that come after work. We had a nice time

For my money, the best fried chicken, if not in Seattle, for sure on the south end. I've been going here for at least 15 years and only ever order the fried chicken. Recently I had the fried wings, they are very tasty naked. The dipping sauce was different but good, still unsure of what it was. Guess I'll have to keep coming back to figure it out and spread my "wings" by trying the rest of the menu items.

Great karoake and the kitchen was still open to get some of their special fried chicken. Perfect spot for after a Mariners game to let traffic die down

Delicious food, clean, friendly service, and great drinks. The fried chicken, wings and BLT sandwich are my top 3 favorites. Relaxed sports bar atmosphere with an outdoor patio, pool, darts, and other games. There are also plenty of tables with chairs so you can comfortably see the TV's that are all over the place. Decent street and neighborhood parking.

Cool spot to hang out and catch Seahawks and mariner games. Get there early though or you will likely run into a standing room only situation. Food was good, service was good even though they were short staffed. Solid establishment.

they do a great job here. the bar is run efficiently, she can pour two taps at the same time, rushing icy cold beer into the frozen glasses like a beautiful glacial waterfall. So tasty at the end of a long day. good pub food too, I love the crisp fries!

If you want to soak up great energy and welcoming kindness, this is your place. I am so grateful I found this place. I love that I can sing karaoke and be as silly as I want. That just gets the crowd to be silly as well! A place to let your inhibitions down with no judgement. This is a place with amazing staff, amazing food, and amazing energy. I will recommend this place to everyone. Props, guys!🌻

I like D&E for many reasons. First, they have a menu with interesting, new creations that are often timed well with local events/cultural moments. In addition, they have their staples like the fried chicken sandwich. The food is consistently delicious and I like sharing it with friends and family who are visiting the area. Second, it's a cute spot and in the warmer months the front patio is a nice spot to enjoy the sun. Yes, Pioneer Square can be an unpredictable neighborhood, but the staff do all they can to make sure customers are comfortable and the owners are very involved in efforts to improve the area. Third, the staff are friendly, helpful, and good at what they do. We don't make it in as much as we'd like to now that we moved further away, but every time we do it is a good experience. I recommend you check it out!

We live in the neighborhood and have walked by this place lots of times with the intent to go in! Finally went for a Friday night dinner yesterday during their fried chicken week. We both got the chicken sandwich and split a side of the honey/sriracha Brussels sprouts - YUM. Service was quick and the place was pretty chill. Hope more people stop by! Would love to see this place stick around.

Family had a great lunch here. Diverse menu and friendly service. Family favorites were the baked penne, the chicken sandwich, and the chef did a pumpkin seed brittle that was amazing. Salmon and clam spaghetti were also delicious.

Went pre-Sounders match on a weeknight. Great location before the match. Reservations required as it is a small venue. Limited but tasty menu during COVID with generous portion on the chicken strips and fries. Enjoyed strong happy hour cocktails. We'll be back! Veteran owned. Returned for weekend brunch pre-Sounders. Good options- enjoyed avocado toast with egg. Something for everyone!

Amazing food, service, and loved the outdoor seating. Everything we ate seemed well thought out with lots of flavor and texture. Don't sleep on trying this place out!

12/29/18: walked in for brunch and was kindly greeted and invited in 10 minutes prior to opening. Service was very friendly. We were the only two in the place so it was nice to be able to chat. Ordered chorizo scramble, pozole, and fried chicken with sourdough pancakes. Everything tasted wonderful. Chorizo and flat bread was pretty big and filling. Lots of chorizo and egg! I thought the pozole could have been hotter but my partner thought it was good enough. Flavor really rich and good amount of pork. Fried chicken was really nicely fried although I felt it was almost burnt the crust was very crisp and flaky. The meat tender and juicy with a bit a spice for flavor not too atrong. The sourdough pancakes didn't win us but it did go well with the fried chicken. Their full menu looks really good and can't wait to go back to try other things!

Affordable, gluten free options, excellent service, and clean modern atmosphere with a wide range of prices. I came to visit between work shifts, and they were able to get me a great amount of food, gorgeous portions and quality, for a great price. Great customer service and honestly I'm surprised it isn't more busy

The food was incredible and the service excellent. Every dish we ordered was delicious and we polished off everything. We visited for lunch and ordered the following: Sweet Pepper Shakshuka, Greek Scramble, Octopus Hash, Como French Toast, Mushroom Kebab, and Chicken Kebab. We had a reservation for four and were seated immediately

We went for breakfast on Sunday morning and it was packed, so we had to wait about 20 minutes. The good thing is they have a lounge where you can comfortably wait. For this reason, I think it’s definitely a good idea to make a reservation. The staff was super kind and attentive — they brought us water while we looked over the menu, and when we were ready we ordered the Eggs Benedict and the Octo hash, which we shared. Both dishes were delicious and generous in portion; honestly, one of the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had! The real standout, though, were the potatoes — crispy and super tasty. The coffee they served was standard American drip coffee, which is pretty typical(but expensive tho)and maybe the only thing that could be improved was the drink menu. It would be nice to have a wider breakfast drinks selection, maybe with more coffee options or fresh juices. All in all, it’s a fantastic place to enjoy a great meal. It does get busy and therefore a bit noisy(and pricey)but we’re already planning to go back to try more of the menu!

Had a great time at this place. The server was very friendly and gave us all the information we needed to order our drinks and food. The entree - leg of lamb was a lot of meat and would do good with some salad on the side to with. All good otherwise.

We came in at late lunch time (dinner menu), the manti is amazing, it’s inspired from the Turkish Manti and is very flavourful, the lamb is tender and moist. The chicken kebabs are succulent and arrive at the table with a sizzle, we ordered some pita to pair the kebab with. It’s a great place to people watch, if you are seated by the windows- the service is not hurried and a meal is enjoyable and slow unlike a lot of other places in the neighbourhood.

Absolutely delicious! We started with the Kalamata olive fig spread and blue cheese feta spread - they were good individually and when we tried them together. I forgot to get a photo of the dolmades but they were the BEST WE HAVE EVER EATEN wow yum! Shakshuka was so good. Service was fabulous. Highly recommend!!!

I can’t wait to get weekend brunch here again! We had the shakshuka, the doughnuts, and the octopus hash. All were delicious. Great after a long evening out and worth a wait.

9/28 1pm. Great place, great food. However I wouldve rated the experience higher if I didn’t see a food runner actively popping his pimple on the right side of his jaw line. White chubby guy with glasses semi long brown hair. I also don’t want to slam the business over an employee doing something that wrong. Management please speak to this guy. Had he been our server I would’ve said something thankfully he wasn’t. Overall great greeter, great portions, our server was ok. I would still definitely come back but wouldn’t allow the pimple popping server to handle our table. Thanks

They should put this place next to the word eclectic in the dictionary! The food options spam the world and your taste buds will most likely be taken on a royal procession. The fries were exceptionally crisp and smothered in tangy sauce with sambal to dip into. I have never had such decadent fries at a brunch spot. I got the Korean noodle dish and it is served cold. The candied lotus roots were a delight to crunch into. The shakshuka was good, but a little too much on the tangy side for me. Vegetarians have a few options here but meat eaters will have a field day.

All servers were nice and all food was really good! I wasn’t expecting it to be as good from the names or the pictures I saw online but they are all worth the try! The price is definitely on the high end so up to your discretion

The food here is unforgettable—bold flavors that feel like eating at your grandma’s house with all your cousins gathered around the table. The ribs were tender and rich, and the Ethiopian injera platter was tangy, playful, and perfect for sharing. Every dish carries a soulfulness that keeps me coming back. I truly wanted to give a five-star review, but I ran into a problem with the sangria. If you’re going to charge for a carafe, please give your guests the true value—not a carafe full of ice. On my last visit, it arrived so packed with ice that it only poured three glasses, compared to the generous carafe I enjoyed before. When I raised this, the server initially dismissed me in a way that made me feel like my integrity was being doubted, which was disappointing. To his credit, he did backtrack and apologize after I said I would just write a review. Still, if the carafe can’t consistently deliver value, it should be removed from the menu rather than charging guests the same as individual drinks. BTW-that is a picture of the first carafe from the week prior. My phone died before taking a picture of the iced carafe. That said, I still love this place. The flavors are powerful, comforting, and full of heart. When the service rises to match the excellence of the food, this restaurant shines as one of the best dining experiences anywhere.

We enjoyed the fried chicken wings tower! The brussel sprouts were nicely crispy and good with sauce. The pineapple cornbread was sadly really salty. We came on a holiday Sunday and there was only one chef working. Had to wait a lonnng time for any food. Will be back to try their chicken wings happy hour!

The war fries. That's all I have to say. SO GOOD. We also got the bunny stew (not actually rabbit), which was pretty good, but the war fries were the best. The drinks were really spendy and not super special for the price. All in all, I would definitely go back. There were tons of interesting options!

Novelty seekers come hither! We ordered six dishes and ate something from every corner of the world. Bold concept and the execution is great! The perfect dinner for someone itching to travel.

Michelle was FANTASTIC!!! She gave us fabulous recommendations on the menu, being Very conscious of my husband's allergies, and the food was INSANELY DELICIOUS!!! ***Shout out to the chefs!!!*** The chicken wings, as advertised through other reviews, Brought It!!!🤤🤤🤤 The Laphet Thoke Salad was fresh, crunchy, and savory!!! My Husband Loved his "French tacos" (not exactly either word) but super tasty!!! He had the "Espresso Martinez" and I had the Ay Chihuahua cocktail!!!💕💕💕 The atmosphere has this unusual homey vibe, and the Service was Very efficient!!!😊😊😊 Thanks everyone at Nue!!! T'was the perfect Brunch!!! I suggest if your service was fantastic, tip 25% or more, they Deserve it!!!

I've been hearing the hype for so long and so I finally gave it a try. There is much to like: big burgers with toppings piled high on top of a freshly made meat patty. I particularly liked the soda fountain that featured the local Seattle Soda company. Overall I liked the burger, and its better than most others. I did find the meat dry, and I love toasted buns but I found that mine seemed stale inside. Perhaps the next time it'll be different

This was my first time trying out Uneeda Burger. I went up to the front to place my order then there was plenty of open seating inside of the restaurant and some outdoor patio seating as well. I really liked the vibe of this place. I got to try out the classic burger, the mushroom burger, and the french fries. The food came out fairly quickly considering that there was a lot of orders before mine. The classic burger was nice and simple. Nothing spectacular but not bad at all. A decent burger for a good price. The mushroom burger on the other hand was really good. The mushrooms had a nice flavor, the beef patty was thick, and this burger had a much better bun to top it all off. The fries unfortunately were very stale and not good at all. Overall, a decent burger spot for a good price. I think there is good value for what you pay for here.

This is my favorite burger place in Seattle. For full size tasty burgers you can’t beat Uneeda Burger. These are not smash burgers but full size burgers. The bacon is super flavorful and add cheese and you got a winner. I usually get the fries, which are amazing, but this time I tried the onion rings and they didn’t disappoint. They also have cheese curds as a side they looked interesting I may try them next time, I’ll keep you posted. If you’re in the north end it’s worth a stop at Uneeda a burger for lunch or dinner.

I actually hit this place up for a chocolate milkshake and they didn’t disappoint. It was a classic shake and the restaurant itself had a really cool vibe. The service was exceptional. Super friendly and really fast preparing the shake. Great experience all around. Will he back

Best best gluten free hamburger we’ve ever had! Gluten free onion rings!!!!! The service was super friendly and welcoming’ indoor outdoor seating our new favorite place!! Not super expensive YUM!!!

We were traveling from Oklahoma and wanted a good burger. We found this place online and thought we'd give them a try. Loved the name of the place and reviews sounded good. The burgers we had was like a backyard grilled burger. It was good and I believe the fries were fresh cut fries. I'd definitely eat there again if I was to come back to Seattle... But you couldn't pay me to come back to this hell hole of a city.

I have been coming to this place since 2011 and it has always been one of my favorite spots. Yesterday I happened to be in the neighborhood and decided to stop by again. From the moment my girlfriend and I walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. The staff made us feel taken care of right away. When our burgers came out, they were absolutely delicious — just as good, if not better, than I remembered. It is rare to find a place that can keep its consistency over so many years, but this spot has clearly not lost its touch. The food was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. What impressed me most is that the atmosphere and character of this establishment are still intact after all these years. It has not lost its soul, and that is something special. I am really glad I stopped in and will definitely be back again.

Only remembered to take pics of the drinks but not the food. Drinks are good. Food wise, don't expect traditional Vietnamese food, more fusion Chinese. Portions are smallish but come out quick for the most part. Seating outside and in, very brisk at 7-8 slot.

Monsoon is one of those Seattle restaurants that manages to feel timeless. Set along 19th Avenue East, it blends Vietnamese traditions with the kind of quiet confidence you only find in places that know exactly who they are. The soft lighting, wood interiors, and gentle hum of conversation give it a calm, elevated energy — the kind of dining room that feels good the moment you sit down. The Food Monsoon’s menu is a celebration of balance — bold flavors delivered with refinement. Dishes are rooted in Vietnamese cuisine but expressed through a Pacific Northwest lens, using fresh, local ingredients that let each plate feel both familiar and new. The flavors are clean, layered, and deeply satisfying without ever feeling heavy. Service & Atmosphere Service is polished but approachable. Staff move with quiet confidence, ready to recommend a pairing or explain the inspiration behind a dish. The pace of the meal feels natural — unhurried but never slow. The atmosphere shifts beautifully from a relaxed lunch spot to an intimate dinner destination as the day goes on. More Details • Vegetarian options: Several well-composed vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes; the kitchen is accommodating with substitutions. • Dietary restrictions: Staff are knowledgeable and careful with allergens or spice adjustments; gluten-free diners are well supported. • Parking: Street parking is available along 19th Avenue East; it can fill up during dinner hours, so arriving early helps. • Kid-friendliness: Family-friendly during lunch and early dinner hours; evenings lean more adult-oriented and refined. • Wheelchair accessibility: Ground-level entry, spacious layout, and accessible restrooms. Final Take Monsoon captures the essence of modern Vietnamese dining in Seattle — thoughtful, elegant, and full of flavor. Five stars for its consistency, atmosphere, and the way it makes every meal feel like an occasion.

Our favorite was the ‘papaya salad’ and the ‘Bo La Lot’! Salad had a good amount of fresh herbs which I love and the papaya was shredded well to pick up the sauce it’s mixed in. ‘Bo La Lot’ was flavorful and the jicama added such a great texture element; both 10/10! We also ordered ‘Lemongrass Tofu’, ‘Catfish Claypot’, & ‘Drunken Chicken’ with a side of ‘jasmine rice’, highly recommend the rice if you’re ordering any of dishes as the flavor and sauces on these dishes are rich and covers each piece of protein heavily. ‘Catfish Claypot’ is cooked in a black pepper sauce and I would say the pepper flavor is pretty powerful, which I like; the catfish was overall cooked nicely. We thought the ‘drunken chicken’ was good but not our favorite, more like a sweet and sour chicken which wasn’t what we expected. I also had ‘Holding Onto Summer’ cocktail, delicious and bright! Matched well with the dishes I ordered and served as a palate cleanser for me. We had 3 adults - 2 appetizers, 3 entrees, and a side of rice was a perfect amount for us! Service and atmosphere 5/5.

My husband and I really enjoyed our anniversary dinner here. Every dish is unique and delicious, they got the details just right.

Very relaxed atmosphere, food was delicious and served by friendly staff, very handy for a quick and tasty dinner. Crab pot options are very good food comes piping hot and stays hot.

The food at Monsoon was excellent! I especially recommend the platter—it was really good. The environment is pleasant, and the service was prompt and friendly. Overall, a great experience. I will definitely be coming back!

✨ Rooftop secrets, Saigon Crab cravings, and the waiter who changed everything ✨ Monsoon has always been a favorite — Bellevue set the bar high for service, and Seattle keeps me coming back for the food. The Saigon Dungeness Crab with garlic noodles 🦀 and spicy green beans 🥢 are unbeatable, and my new obsession? The Sayulita cocktail 🍸 — chili & hibiscus-infused tequila, fresh lime, cilantro, and house pomegranate grenadine. A glass of liquid art. But here’s the real MVP: Arrow. 🌟 Ask for him. His patience, timing, and genuine warmth made me feel seen and reminded me what hospitality should feel like. Service this good is rare in Seattle, and it turned my night into something unforgettable. Oh, and did you know Monsoon Seattle has a rooftop? 🤯 Perfect for quiet conversations, city views, and that tucked-away vibe you can’t put a price on. Pro tip: Tuesdays & Thursdays = half-price wine night 🍷. 📍 Monsoon Seattle – Capitol Hill 🌐 Modern Vietnamese meets Pacific Northwest flavor 🍴 Must-try: Saigon Crab, Spicy Green Beans 🍹 Cocktail pick: Sayulita ✨ Service tip: Ask for Arrow #SeattleFoodie #SeattleEats #SeattleRestaurants #SeattleRooftop #SeattleCocktails #SeattleFoodScene #SeattleInfluencer #CapitolHillSeattle #MonsoonSeattle #FoodieInfluencer #PacificNorthwestEats #SeattleWineNight

We definitely love this place. The fish and chips are delicious and crunchy and not oily. I really recommend mixing it up. We got COD halibut and popcorn shrimp though I do think they could’ve put a little extra popcorn shrimp otherwise it was delicious. The clam chowder has been one of the best I’ve had and the Poboy sandwich was absolutely delicious and not too big so it was a perfect size.

We’ve eaten here a few times when visiting Seattle. Their fish is always fresh and high quality. We shared a Captains Plate with halibut, cod, and clams. Comes with fries. Portions are generous. We had clam chowder as well but I was so hungry I forgot to snap a picture. I will say it’s one of my top 5 favourites! If you love seafood this is a great place with reasonable prices. They also sell all type of fresh seafood you can take home. It would be nice if they offered mushy peas at the seafood restaurants here. I’m not British ( I believe the mushy peas originated in the UK) but I love them with fish!

Halibut fish and chips were excellent. As was the service! The owner and family stopped over to ensure we were taken care of. Can’t recommend more highly

Wow this is coming from someone who hated fish yall changed my mind. Smoked Salmon Chowder and Crab Bisque both so delicious. Trio platter Halibut Salmon Cod were also delicious. Split the thing between two.

My husband had the captains platter, fries and a cup of clam chowder. I had the cod, fries and a cup of crab bisque. All of the food was absolutely delicious!! So flavorful and served hot. Perfect portions. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. The restaurant atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for. Really thankful we were able to enjoy a great meal here.

Defunitely high quality fish & shellfish market. Great prices on grilled and fried dinners. Everyone loved the Dungeness crabcakes, Halibut, Cod and Salmon. Sides good. Excellent cold beers. Promptly cooked & served hot. Our host was John, who gave excellent advise on selections. Thanks!

Food overload. So many good choices. Really liked the salmon chowder. Thought the clam chowder was over peppery. Cod was great. Shrimp taco while a bit of spice was fantastic. Wasn't as happy about the fish taco, but it was the size of 3 tacos. Couldn't move when we left.

We ate inside, I love the atmosphere. The drink was delicious and strong. The jerk wings were moist and tasty. The plantains were perfect. The curry chicken was so great we wanted more. We also ordered catfish, mac n cheese, and more curry chicken to go. We will be back. Sooooo Good!

FYI: This place is 21 years and up! You need to be 21 years old, so bring your ID!!!***** We had to order take out and the restaurant staff was really nice about it, and explained how the rules are strict about the IDs for a valid reason. Plantains were AMAZING. Best plantains ever. Can’t miss out. The tostones were so good!!! Garlicky, savory, crunchy, great texture. Highly recommend. Jerk chicken was really good. Vatapa was alright, I wouldn’t recommend it :) If you get a burger or sandwich, the jerk mayo is bomb. Def recommend to dip fries with the jerk mayo!

Yummy ox tail and fresh home made drinks 🍹 the fruit punch was ok and the serrel tea was sweet it reminds me of hibiscus 🌺 the fried fish was ok too! The atmosphere was like a mini lounge loud 2000s music and the chairs wasn’t as comfy it’s all wood but bathroom was clean. Manager was chill our waiter was seemed busy but it was not super crowded. We enjoyed our Caribbean food overall

Absolutely delightful! From the food to the customer service, 10/10 recommend Island Soul. Arrived on a Sunday @2:30ish pm with a group of 3 and were sat at the bar, no wait. All of the dishes were SO FLAVORFUL AND DELICIOUS.

We went to karaoke on Thursday and it was so fun, I would tell the hosts not to take as many breaks so it won’t take forever for them to go through the list. The drink specials were great my friend got the jerk tacos and she said they were horrible. She couldn’t even eat it.

I can't wait to go back! I highly recommend to try the mac and with oxtail on top and the oxtail stew. I wanna come back to try more dishes and the server Kyle really set the vibes. I love how the old heads from the old hood still come through so it doesn't have the gentrification feel. You gotta go check it out!

On a random Thursday night, I popped into this gem. I live in Magnolia and was in the area for my daughters softball practice. The bartender was welcoming and friendly, and made me a me fantastic rum cocktail. The jerk chicken wings were some of the best wings that I have ever had, and the atmosphere was energetic. I would be a regular if i lived closer! Either way, I can't wait for the next time I am in the area! Thank you Island Soul!

This was a solid place with solid food and fun Hawaiian vibes. Food was exactly as expected. The eggs on rice I didn't get actually looked good.

This cute little place reminds me so much of local places in Hawaii. The place was packed with families and the vibe was so chill and laid-back. On top of all that, the food was tasty AND generous. My friend told me they also occasionally have karaoke set up in a little corner on weekends. I hope I can experience that sometime!

The meat is perfect, everything was perfect. Mac salad is fire.

Brah this place is Ono! Great service and the food was Ono brah!

Such a fun, cute place. Nice to get a taste of Hawaii so close to home. Had about 15 minute wait when we went on Friday night around 7. Moco Loco, Chantilly cake, kalua pulled pork, mac salad, katsu pork, all so good! Comfort food for sure! There is parking on the road and behind the restaurant. The cake slices are big enough to share (but they are so good, you may not want to!). We love eating here when we are on this side of town.

Hade a great Hawaiian breakfast / brunch here. The food was excellent and all cooked from scratch. The pork katsu was crispy and hot. We ordered the guava cake to go and ate it later in the day. It was delicious as well.

I give this place a 4.7. Finally, we made it to this restaurant! When I heard who owned the restaurant, I was sold immediately! First impressions, amazed by the history, the photos of different celebrities that visited this location, and the different art that was given to the restaurant. The only downfall is the place can use some cleaning. The table we sat at has a plant next to it, and it was caked in dust. Other than that, the service was good, and the vibe was chill. Now the food, damn the food was amazing. Also, the positions....lol well let's just say, I hope you're hungry. Good size positions and flavors are to die for. Today, my girl got the Lau Lau plate, I picked the build your own Loco moco, which consisted of fried rice, spam, hamburger patty, and gravy. Omg, the banana wrapped pork was amazing. Pork was supper tender and just melts. The Loco moco was super good. The fried rice alone was supper good. For dessert, we got the guava cake and haupia cake. Omg, again, super good. The guava cake you can tell the guava spread was made fresh. The haupia cake had a nice subtle, but yet nice flavor, Overall, we love this place, and plan to visit the other location :)

Lovely decor and atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. We were at Ben Paris for an early dinner after a day exploring the shorefront and market areas. Our waiter Edward was very friendly and helpful as were the other staff. The food was excellent and most of the dishes we ordered were portioned perfectly for a European appetite with the exception of the butter milk chicken and the carrot cake; both of which were delicious but large portions. Three vegetable pasta had fabulous flavour and the beef shortrib was incredibly tender. The chocolate torte is incredible.

Very good Ambience and atmosphere. Service is pretty fast and the folks are very hospitable. The food options are also varied. However I would say the food is overpriced compared to the quantity of food. We ordered a couple of appetizers and dessert and they were pretty good. However the only downside was the quantity.

Enjoyable establishment to eat when near Pikes Place Market. I ordered the King Salmon and thought it was great. I especially enjoyed the coleslaw as a base. Also ordered as an appetizer was the Fried Halloumi, which was good but I probably wouldn’t order again unless had more mouths to share with.

We found this place by chance and decided to go in. The dishes looked so good that we didn’t mind waiting 30 minutes for a table. In the meantime, we walked around the nearby shops at Pike Market and came back just in time to enjoy an amazing breakfast. We ordered the Ricotta Pancakes — you get two, served with a delicious cream — and the Ben Paris Breakfast, which included eggs cooked to your liking, toast with jam and butter, bacon, potatoes (my favorite part, I’d say), and a small yogurt parfait with cereal. We had espressos with the meal and later also ordered cappuccinos. We left feeling super full and satisfied — honestly, one dish could easily be shared between two people! Great service and a really well-located spot. Highly recommended.

I discovered this amazing restaurants during a layover in Seattle and honestly this place is absolutely amazing. The staff is lovely they’re pretty welcoming and the food was delicious. I was surprised that the pancakes were amazing because I’m not a fan of food in the States but this restaurant is really amazing in Seattle. I guess it must be the best one or one of the best probably. I would recommend and the breakfast is amazing !

What a cute and comfortable restaurant to have a relaxing morning in. Leather benches, marble tabletops, and lots of light make this a great place to enjoy coffee, breakfast, and brunch. The service was fast, and friendly, and attentive. Everything we ordered was fresh and well balanced, not too heavy or salty but still flavorful. I would go again and I recommend this restaurant.

Ben Paris is hands down one of the best spots in Seattle! Everything was flawless — the food, the vibe, the staff. Photos don’t do it justice. Get the chicken, fries, and hush puppies — thank me later. Open kitchen, great energy, absolute must-try!

My cousin and I had the crab sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. Also they have a hibiscus slushee that’s very delicious as well. We admired the wall art painted by local artists both inside and outside the restaurant. Definitely a 10/10.

This place fell off, when this place first opened the food was fantastic. The last few times I went I either had burnt chicken or the rice was stale. This last visit I had stale rice and stale plantains. The chicken was ok. Also I paid for extra sauce(you’re supposed to get two sauces) and they gave me one sauce packet instead of three. Total waste of $22. If you like Jamaican food go to Taste of Caribbean on 12th and Jefferson. The folks here don’t care about their customers.

I had to check the other reviews to see if something was wrong with me.I usually don't do food reviews but this one needed to be done. I'm sure at some point when starting out the food was good.... but today 10.27.25 OMG! I cannot believe y'all are ok with putting out that awful food! No flavor in the rice and peas. I was expecting Atleast SALT. and the only flavor u could taste on the chicken was where the lady sprinkled the rub. And the Ribs! Dry, no seasoning...Simply Not edible. God bless the cashier who definitely tried with the customer service, but that lady that put the food together... she slapped that food in the plates exactly how it tasted. Smh. I can't believe I'm posting this but Bossman, there's alot of work to do. And take my foolish advise, make sure your employees taste the food that they are serving each day. That way if they won't eat it, then don't sell it. Unacceptable . And to put jamaica's name on that ish. Yow duh better man! If I didn't live so far I would give back those plates and demand a refund.

Had a wonderful lunch meeting yesterday. Their branzino daily special with their houseblend of herb salt is one of the best and most well cooked fish dishes I’ve had (and I’m from a fishing village!). The staff were very friendly and helpful and checked in multiple times during our meal. Everything is well seasoned and flavorful. All three sauces that came with the special were well balanced and delicious. Highly recommend!

jerk chicken plate & sweet plantains were exceptional. would definitely recommend!!

I was originally born and raised in Lakeland, Fl so trust me when I say I’ve had some of the best Jamaican food in the US! You CANNOT EVER go wrong with this place ! Ribs falling off the bone with that good JERKKKKK that just make ya heart smile ! The jerk fried chicken also is something to die for ! No literally! Do something good for yourself and stop by jerk shack ! Vegan options too ! I’m literally about to make my wife’s day with this food !

I can't even begin to describe how disgusting this food was. I almost never leave reviews but I had to take the time out. This food should not be served to humans nor should it be associated with the name anything Caribbean or Jamaican STOP IT! The lady who put the food together was the 1st sign that the food would be flavorless. She literally throws the food in the plates with her gloved hands, the only thing she ised utensil with was the taste bad rice. To my fellow Jamaicans tan ah yuh yaad and cook cuz mi nuh know ah wah dis. The cashier guy was ok he only works there he tended to us nicely because deep down he probably knew this is bad food.

We visited on a Wednesday night around 8 p.m., and it was packed, which speaks to the popularity of the place! The ramen was delicious—rich, flavorful, but same level as other ramen places. The octopus cake was not very memorable, though. I would skip that one. The only minor drawback was that a couple of menu items were sold out, which seems to be a common occurrence based on other reviews. It’s understandable for a later evening on Wednesday, though. Service was efficient and straightforward, making for a smooth experience overall. All in all, a solid spot for satisfying ramen—worth a visit if you're in the area!

Food was good. Tried Mushroom miso Ramen. Broth was flavorful. Chili oil added good spice. Portion size was good to justify the price. Protein size was decent. Vegetarian/vegan options available, and marked on the menu. Liked the experience overall, service was pretty good. Would try it again.

The food was really good. The ramen, meat and egg was perfectly cooked. Service was nice and polite. However, the restaurant is pretty small, they don't have enough space, and we were forced to wait for an hour on Saturday morning before being seated.

Overall a very good ramen spot, but the competition is tough here in seattle! Love that they offer cold ramen too, and the simple menu is nice. Be aware NO FISH ON TUESDAYS! Not a bad thing, means it's fresh, but needed to call it out. Overall I would definitely go back, but doesn't top some of the heavy hitters in seattle.

Summary: Really solid and flavorful ramen offering in a small yet warm and welcoming restaurant. No wait on a Friday afternoon, expect to pay $15-20 for a bowl of ramen and $6-9 for sides. It’s a little on the expensive side for what it is, but I would recommend! Food: We got the wagyu brisket ramen. Everything about the ramen was cooked to perfection. The broth was very flavorful, but the meat portions were on the smaller end, which was true for the other ramen bowls at the table as well. We also ordered the Takoyaki which was about $8, but tasted fantastic! Service: Service was minimal throughout the meal but we were seated right away, the food was out quickly, and the turnaround for the check did not take long after we finished up. Nothing special, but no complaints Atmosphere: the restaurant is small, but it’s warm and moody with a full black interior. I felt relaxed with the warm lighting and the easygoing nature of the space.

Stopped by for dinner and ordered the wagyu ramen. Overall it was tasty. I could always go for more toppings, but it had a lot of noodles. Prices were prob on par with other Seattle ramen shops, but either way the serving size filled me up. My girlfriend ordered a seafood special option, which tasted too "fishy" for me, but she enjoyed it.

Yoroshiku ❤️ you have my heart. Best Ramen place I ever visited by far. Fresh broth and delicious preparation. Fisherman's Ramen - best was clams and salmon. Zaru ramens broth was the yummiest with sesame seeds, chilli oil and crushed ginger on the side. Tofu spicy miso topped in flavours. Tan taka tan drink was okay but go for the Lichiko drink (burns and heats you up with that first gulp) was delish. Matcha tiramisu is real...you can taste the matcha flavour on your taste buds. Limited covers so it's a must to be here on time. The staff is sweet and helpful, they'll make sure to make you comfortable and explain each ramen, it's ingredients even the drink. My heart was full just like that Bowl 🍜 My second visit and Yoroshiku never fails! The sushi, I felt should keep refilling... So good. Spicy miso chashu ramen, Zaru ramen and spicy tofu ramen was perfect for dinner after a year. There is always a waiting line here, but to our surprise we did find a table right away.

We ordered oysters, snails, fish and steak. From all of it the best were two first. Fish was with super sweet and having corn made it even more. You could not taste fish at all. The mint leaves helped to break the sweet flavor but I wouldn’t recommend it. Th steak was okay definitely better than fish dish. We ordered also two wines (red and white) both recommended to dish. The red one was very watery witb little bite. Not our fav. The anniversary candles on paper were weird.

We visited Loursin restaurant today, and from the very beginning, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Unlike some other reviews, we found the service to be genuinely hospitable. The food was delicious — a bit on the saltier side for my taste, but still very good. Our server, Jack, was helpful, attentive, and open to feedback. The onion soup was outstanding — even better than what we tried in Paris! Overall, the experience was great, though it’s on the pricier side with a 20% service charge included. A lovely evening and a great dining experience.

Overall, a very solid experience. Some of their items blew me away and some were very meh. Fair warning you will have to pay for bread, but ask your server if any of your other items you order come with bread because one of ours did and we also ordered the bread so we had so much leftover. The French onion soup was out of this world. They use a veal broth instead of a beef and it gave it such a deep umami taste and I would say it’s one of the best FOS I’ve ever had. I will also say we had a charred prawn dish in a compound butter sauce that was so to die for. It almost tasted like a tikka masala sauce and paired so well with the bread (this was the dish we ordered that came with its own bread). The biggest disappointment for us had to be the steak frites. They charge pretty hefty price for a rather cheap cut of meat (flank steak) but I was willing to bite because I’m a sucker for a steak frites. While many things on the menu were not overpriced for me this one absolutely was. You get a rather tough and cheap cut of meat for damn near 50 dollars. This is the only nice French restaurant I’ve been to that uses a flank steak for their steak frites and it’s honestly jarring. Mind you their only other steak entree was a 3 lb T-Bone priced at 175 which is impossible to share if you’re there as a couple. Avoid this entree and look at others. Definitely not a bad spot for French in Seattle.

Tried this French restaurant, located in the Central District area. It is situated at the crossroads of First Hill, Capitol Hill and Central District. We tried various items on the menu, but probably should have sticked to the small plates. The XOXO TOMMY was recommended but I was not impressed with the drink. Should have trusted my gut and tried their version of the Espresso Martini instead. As for food, the salad and prawns were my favorite dishes. I was however disappointed with the steak-frites. Was expecting it to taste better, but the texture seemed off for me. Almost reminded me of roast beef but more rare. The sauce was not amazing either. I think if I go back, I would try their chicken instead. Also, we were there for our anniversary dinner and marked this on the Resy reservation, but it wasn’t acknowledged. We also specified the dietary preferences, but were still asked about it. I guess the info from the Resy reservation was either ignored or not received. Would have been nice if it was acknowledged to set-up the dinner. Overall, the food was great and will likely go back, but stick to smaller plates only.

Loved this place! The Burgundy snails were amazing — super flavorful and tender. They have a great wine selection, and the food is a nice mix of French style with a bit of American twist. Prices are on the higher side with a 20% service fee, but overall it’s totally worth it. Perfect spot for a date night.

We had an amazing meal with wonderful wait staff who were very helpful and gave us plenty of time to converse and enjoy all of the dishes. We ordered over half of the menu for our group of four and we're thoroughly sated. The oysters were as absolutely fresh and sweet as they could be. The pate, the tartar and the smelt were top notch.

They have good tasting tap water which was a good news because the tartar was very salty, or that’s what I thought until they brought out the french onion soup. Which had my weekly dose of sodium and was inedible.

This is a great place to get smoothies. The smoothie tasted fresh and came out quickly. They also have a relaxing environment where you can play arcade and board games. They encourage people to come and relax and provide adequate seating.

Overall really good! Would come back again. There was a Boba Happy hour (3 dollars one cup). The bubbles were a little bit soft 🥲, but it was worth for the price🫡!

This is more than just a bubble tea place. This is a lounge for the visitors and this is a community for the locals. They have a lot of board games, and they have pinball machines. The owner and staff were very friendly and nice and recommended very good milk teas based on what we were craving for. The tea is on the sweet side (for me), so if you prefer not too sweet, make sure to ask reduced sugar. We were just in time for the special: $3 selected milk tea between 2 and 4pm on work days.

Cool place to hang out, good variety of flavors, and food is great here but sometimes have to wait 10-15min for it to come out. Popcorn chicken and waffle fries are the OG menu item and they have discounts on chicken/fry buckets once a week (might be doordash exclusive). Super cheap happy hour $2 drinks in the afternoon if you like the basic flavors!

Wooden booths, plywood walls, dimly lit, bar stools and tables surrounded with Indie tunes. We are enjoying our taro with Boba milk tea and lychee snow with Boba. This cool place nestled in Chinatown and a good break from ou walk through the many shops and restaurants.

This is truly the OG Boba spot! Been here since my highschool days when Boba just didn't exist much in Seattle! Their Slushy drinks have tasted the same since forever! Same with the popcorn chicken. However, hot sauce is no longer as Heated as before, too sweet nowadays. But the popcorn shrimp is the bomb! Such a huge portion for a fair price! Love this place!

For bubble tea, it’s solid. Taro for $3.31 in the middle of the day. I could give it a 5 star, probably. Spacious for a place in Chinatown. I’ve been a couple of times but writing my thoughts before pedaling back to Bellevue.

My wife and I went here for her birthday and we went with the $50 tasting menu option. If you've never been before, I highly recommend it. The food was superb and I'd have a hard time recommending just one item to go with. The staff went above and beyond to make the evening magical for the occasion. We will be recommending this to all of our friends and family.

Cools and cozy neighborhood spot. Service was superb throughout. Food neared excellent deliciousness levels but a couple of the wines including the chardonnay was not. This was not the factor that dictated my 4* instead of full marks. The reason was the food portions were on the smaller side. I understand it was a tasting menu but if we do the math it appears we could've gotten better value by ordering many of the tasting dishes separately that appear on the ala carte menu. However, I wasn't able to compare the dish sizes if this was done.

Thoughtful menu, delicious dishes, charming little spot and super friendly service We had a great time. Felt totally taken care of with half glass wines so we could try things. Didn’t do the “feast” but had one anyway with very nice but limited selections that somehow rather than disappointing made choosing easier. Despite being known for meat the vegetable and fish dishes were excellent. Also, good acoustics! Lovely evening that didn’t break the bank. We will be back if we can ever get a reservation.

BLUF: Gem of a tasting restaurant featuring open fire roasted locally sourced meats and vegetables in a quaint, affordable setting and owned and operated by the people running the restaurant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Located in north Phinney Ridge, this awesome spot is small and justifiably so makes you feel like an important customer. No where in Seattle can you beat the quality of this food and the cost of its enjoyment. The owners have dedicated themselves to producing quality food at an affordable rate by splitting equally the duties of the front and back of house. On the evening we dined, the chef owner was bussing and washing dishes. Simply put, there is nothing these people wouldn’t do to produce excellent food using quality ingredients to be enjoyed at a price that most Seattle residents can afford. This is true dedication to their craft, and it is represented in the service and taste. We enjoyed the tasting menu and paired with local wines, ciders, and digestifs. Despite their excellence in service, there was never a time that we felt stuffy, overwhelmed, or snobbish. This was good, laid back, casual, and comfortable without losing an ounce of respect for their craft. The roasted, cured, and grilled meats and fish were on point. All served alongside a repertoire of pickled and cured, grilled and roasted, puréed and all sorts of transformed vegetables from the northwest. I can’t stress enough how great of a restaurant of this magnitude is within the bustling Seattle food scene where competitiveness is matched by rising food and rent costs. I applaud this group of owners and operators for working so hard to create the product that comes from Opus Co. I will be back and back again. Keep up the strong work! 👍🏻👍🏻

Opus Co is quite possibly my favorite restaurant in Seattle. With "The Feast" they have found the right balance between affordable price and premium quality to create an exceptional value for high end dining.

Delightful meal. We did the prix fixe and enjoyed every single plate. Loved the okra and eggplant (two vegetables I literally hate) and lamb. Wine pairings were on point and reasonable. Definitely plan to dine here again.

One of my new favorite restaurants in Seattle! My husband and I enjoy doing tasting menus from time to time and this one hit the spot. Our server was so fun and really made the meal a treat. We love going to places that serve high quality food but don’t feel stuffy or pretentious. They had great music on in the background and the atmosphere was low key and laid back. The tasting menu had generous portions for the two of us and they were very accommodating to my nut allergy. Fresh ingredients and dishes with an Asian flare! I’ll forever daydream about the crispy rice and the spinach salad we had last night! 🤤 Can’t wait to come back!

We stopped in for lunch during our time in Seattle. With karaage in their name and the reviews figured their chicken should be good. Atmosphere was basic, nothing above average. Service was average as well, but the waiter seemed to be the only waiter for the restaurant during that time. Quick turnaround on the food considering. Their karaage chicken was good. We had the lunch entree with rice and pasta. Waiter gave us both flavors to try beyond the plain version and they were all good, lemon was the best. We also had a couple sushi rolls, crunch and spicy tuna. Spicy tuna was not as fresh as I hoped, the crunch was good. I would consider eating there again for their chicken but not the sushi.

The food was OK. They were out of bacon for my bacon egg and cheese bagel. Just wish the bagel had some kind of sauce. It was very dry. They gave a small discount but this place was a bit pricey. We did really enjoy the pecan roll tho.

Visitors to Seattle, we wanted to go to a restaurant our kids would enjoy. They loved the karaage and fries. We also ordered Ramen, curry, and a poke bowl. They're very generous with the food. Service was good.

Went around 8 PM last night. The fried chicken seemed a bit over-fried/over-marinated—salty and darker than the photos I see other people posted here. I’m a big fried chicken fan and had high hopes since the online photos looked perfectly crisp and golden. The pieces we got were different, but we were starving so I didn’t bring it up. That said, the server was really friendly, and I feel like if the quality was more consistent (especially with fried chicken as their signature dish), this spot could be great.

I ordered the karaage with curry and rice. Super delicious and very filling. They had a good variety of menu items so everyone in my 8-person party could find something they liked.

Someone else said that the chicken was over-marinated, like what, you’re complaining that it had too much flavor?? Food is really good, big portion sizes and solid food all around! The staff are also real nice too, no complaints!

One of the best ramen restaurants I’ve been to in the US. Interesting desserts too :)

We tried Mean Sandwich and ordered the “WTK?” — a fried chicken Po’boy sandwich with Skins and Ins (Salt & Pepa), and it was absolutely perfect. The sandwich was packed with flavor, and the bread deserves a special shoutout — crispy on the outside, soft and fresh on the inside. It held everything together beautifully without getting soggy. The fried chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the Skins and Ins were a fun, flavorful side that complemented the sandwich really well. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the mood for a seriously good sandwich — we’ll definitely be back to try more!

Did an online order and dined right out on the dog-friendly patio. Fantastic sandwiches and the crispiest tastiest potatoes to go alongside them! So happy with this Saturday lunch choice. Highly recommend the Mean Sandwich and Midnight at the Oasis!

My favorite restaurant in Seattle.. LOVE THIS PLACE!! Everything on the menu is delicious, but you have to order The D.A.M. Burger. It’s the best burger in the city. My other go-to order is the Jersey Sub, but don’t sleep on the falafel sandwich. And those potato skins are so addicting. The staff is incredible and very welcoming. Shoutout to Skyler! I wish they were open later.. I’d be there twice a week 😋

Came down to Seattle for a night from Canada and was looking for a sandwich spot for lunch. Ben and Dan introduced themselves while we were looking at the menu and never pressured us into ordering right away. We decided on getting The Mean Sandwich ($19) which comes with crispy potato skins on the side.The pickled red cabbage and mint made the sandwich taste phenomenal, we wanted more mint if anything. After each bite, the mustard flavour comes in at the end and the corned beef meat was pretty tender. The only downside was that our buns got quite soggy. They were thin so it didn't hold up to the sandwich fillings as I would have liked. It's a matter of personal preference on what kind of bread you like for your sandwiches though. I am saddened since I don't live in Seattle because I want to revisit this restaurant again to try their other sandwiches. Ben and Dan are super hospitable and pleasant to chat with. This is a restaurant where you can feel the amount of dedication and care they have for their food and customers.

I was in Seattle for work and out of all the places I visited, Mean Sandwich was the place that stuck with me. From the moment I walked in, Dan welcomed me in, and asked how he could help. I asked for the recommended sandwich and he said that the Mean Sandwich is what they're named after. And it absolutely did not disappoint (see pictured). Unbelievably delicious. Tastes better than perhaps it looks, and I think it looks mighty fine. Great presentation! Dan was willing to provide more recommendations on other restaurants in the neighborhood worth going to, which was helpful in planning out my trip. And I do want to note, Dan treated every single customer with the same enthusiasm and care. I'd absolutely make the trip back here again if and when I'm back in the area!

First time trying. Read an article about this place in the morning, ordered a Mean sandwich for lunch. Honestly, didn’t expect much but pleasantly surprised. So good. Cabbages, perfect. Deep fried potatoes, a little over done and a little too salty but otherwise, delicious! Would definitely go back and try other ones.

Came here per TikTok recommendation and ordered the beautifully colorful corned beef sandwich and the smash burger. Perfect portions and perfect flavors. The owner stopped by to chat with us and was so personable. Can’t wait to revisit next time I’m in Seattle!

🌏✨ Musang – A Global Gem on Seattle’s Beacon Hill ✨🌏 Dining at Musang feels like stepping into a soulful story of Filipino heritage woven with the fresh bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Chef Melissa Miranda and her team don’t just serve food—they serve memory, culture, and community on every plate. The menu is rich with bold Filipino flavors, beautifully reimagined with seasonal, local ingredients. From comforting classics to inventive vegetarian options (clearly labeled and thoughtfully crafted), every dish arrives with both heart and artistry. The Escabeche black cod and Lumpiang Shanghai are standouts, but honestly, each plate carries the warmth of home and the precision of fine dining. 🌿 Why it matters globally: Musang is more than a restaurant—it’s a cultural movement rooted in love, legacy, and hospitality. It’s a space where tradition meets innovation, where every guest feels like family, and where the Filipino diaspora shines on a global stage. ✨ Insider Tips: • Reservations are a must—this cozy space fills quickly. • Perfect for date nights, intimate gatherings, and anyone seeking food that feeds the soul. • Service is deeply caring, blending professional polish with genuine warmth. Musang isn’t just one of Seattle’s best—it’s a place that belongs on the world’s culinary map. 🌍💫

What a wonderful time! A very delicious, creative, beautifully plated, family style meal. We got nearly everything on the menu & the only thing that wasn’t excellent was the pork belly special, it was still yummy but just didn’t taste as special as the other dishes. Highly recommended for a group of 5-6 to try the whole menu! We went with 4, and got 10 items which we didn’t end up finishing. They coursed everything out perfectly and the whole experience was awesome. Their patio was also super cute & very inside! No street noise or smells, covered and heated. Worth every penny!

Very busy place! However, I didn't see a single Filipino there, besides my wife and staff! The food was well presented but a far cry from tasting anything like the real thing. If you aren't familiar with Filipino food, you could say it's good. The food didn't taste bad in any way, but it certainly didn't stand out as great. $8 for 2 teeny weeny bread rolls, so-called Pan de Sal was a disappointment, not to mention a Rip Off! Service was as expected. The general atmosphere was great. Very pricey.

To those complaining that the food is salty—you might not fully understand Filipino cuisine. Traditional Filipino dishes are often bold and salty, made with staples like vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and yes, salt! I’ve been to Musang twice now and love that I can enjoy authentic Filipino flavors in a welcoming, clean, and elevated atmosphere. Don’t get me wrong—I’ll always love my home-cooked meals and hole-in-the-wall Filipino spots for a fraction of the price. But I really appreciate having the option of fine dining with superb cocktails alongside these familiar flavors.

Musang was a great, chill Filipino themed dinner for us to catch up with friends. Service was decently quick, but could have helped us understand the dishes a bit more after we asked. Similarly, we never order the rolls dish but they were brought to our table twice and had to be sent back both times. Food-wise, everything was decently portioned and tasted great. My main issue is that there wasn't much spice! Maybe I had misplaced expectations, but I was expecting more impact from our bites. Drinks and desserts were solid as well. Overall, definitely would come back but would try to order hotter dishes next time.

Musang on Beacon Hill offers a refined yet comforting take on Filipino cuisine. As a Filipino, it makes me happy to be able to experience a truly unique dining experience like this in Seattle. We were a party of four, and from start to finish it felt special. They have a full bar (first come, first serve if you want to sit there) and an open kitchen where you can see the chefs busy making food all night. We also got lucky because Emily, our wonderful server, told us their menu changes every three months and we happened to catch the new Fall Menu. We ordered the following: Sinigang Chips – Tamarind-dusted potato chips with a tangy, sour edge. An inventive take on sinigang flavors and a fun way to start the meal. Lumpiang Shanghai – Fried eggrolls. I couldn’t eat these because they contain pork, but my table enjoyed them and said the filling was dense, almost like a meatball. I’ll take their word for it. Kinilaw – Filipino ceviche. Bright and fresh, dressed in an acid-sour mix. The flavors are balanced and bold. I absolutely loved this dish! Ginataang Gulay – My least favorite dish of the night. I was expecting a creamy coconut sauce, but instead it was dry and heavy on parsnips, turnips, and vegan bagoong. It just felt over-fused. My ancestors would roll in their graves at vegan bagoong. Lol. Pancit Malabon – Now this dish felt close to home. Bold, savory, and rich, with a vibrant sauce coating the noodles. Rooted in tradition but thoughtfully modernized. Absolute chef’s kiss. Sinigang na Baboy – Another one I couldn’t eat because of pork, but the table loved it and placed it in their top favorites. I did try the broth , it was delicious, though I wish they leaned more into the tamarind. Inaloban na Isda – My top dish of the night! Roasted rockfish prepared beautifully, so tender, super flavorful, and thoughtfully balanced. Rooted in tradition yet adventurous in execution. 10/10, highly recommend. Special of the Night: Fried Chicken – One of the table’s favorites. They raved this was the crispiest chicken they’ve ever had , juicy, flavorful, and a solid 10/10. I unfortunately couldn’t try it since I’m pescatarian, but I believe them! Cocktails were excellent as well. My boyfriend ordered a Manhattan, and I had their Calamansi juice with a shot of vodka added. The calamansi did not disappoint, it was tart, refreshing, and instantly took me back. Musang delivers on both flavor and atmosphere, balancing comfort with creativity. Between the rotating menus, the open kitchen, and the way each dish carries a story, this is a place I would return to again and again.

Great dinner at Musang! Some of these reviews say that portion sizes were disappointing. I’m unsure what level of gluttony warrants such ridicule. As a Filipino with a hefty appetite myself, I found every dish substantial. Flavors were solid and I left satisfied. The place has an unassuming exterior but cozy, intimate interior. Service was kind and prompt. Fantastic take on classic Filipino dishes. Highly recommend!

Go to McDonalds it is better quality. The reviews are catfish and the food is 100% NOT Authentic. Ordered 3 things and all 3 were bad. Beef Taiwanese noodle beef was THE worst quality. It was hard and gamey. The soup was water down you can see it. Spicy malang… no this is not it. The intimation crab , and fish balls is frozen. You can tell with 1 bite. The lamb quality is poor.. didn’t bother taking a photo. The only thing that was okay was the corn. Japanese twice roasted… super bland where is the step tea… Was really disappointed on the restaurant. The waitress who gave the bill.. was watching me give the cash and was very disrespectful. The rule is to give space to give the amount.

5/5 Portion size is very filling. 4/5 Taiwanese beef noodle soup: Good for a clean soup taste. Ask for chili oil to make it spicy. 5/5 Malatang house combo + lamb: Good mix of veggies. Wish there was more meat. Soup was creamy and flavorful. 3/5 Bok choy with meat sauce: Sauce is not as flavorful as other houses but it is a good balance if you are looking for something more bland. Can get it vegetarian or vegan. 2/5 Parking is very difficult. You can find street parking if you can walk 1-2 blocks over.

Came here for the $20 restaurant week lunch special and it was wonderful! Will def be back :) I got the house special malatang with tomato broth and beef and popcorn chicken for appetizer. Absolutely loved the popcorn chicken it was so crunchy and delicious! And perfectly fried, not greasy at all. Also was blown away by so many toppings in the malatang and how clean the tomato broth was and fresh the ingredients in it. 10/10!!!

Definitely 💯 a good place to visit, the food is good, so many options for the boba tea 🧋 and fruit tea. I love the super rich soup base with chicken udon & Seafood lover malatang and the chicken wings are soooooo good too 🫡。 If you look for some traditional Taiwanese food or boba tea then you should try this.

The popcorn chicken is tasty and authentic, and the honey shrimp is delicate and awesome. Our minced meat noodles / rice is also top notch. 10/10 would recommend

We came for late lunch, the location was a bit hard to find but there was plenty of parking on the street. The hotpot was great , we chose the light broth with some other snacks like chicken wings and some sort of sausage. We will come back again with our kiddos.

19 Gold was a disappointment. If you know Taiwanese beef noodle soup, you're not going to like the watered down bowls. There's an air of superiority walking in from the hostess/greeter. Paid parking was $8 for an hour. Overall, quality of food was low, snobby service, and poor parking options.

It has been SO long since I've had a fried chicken anything since I went gluten free! I stopped in, and the folks working there were really nice, and happily checked for me about an allergen concern. The service was fast and friendly, and the chicken was really tasty! I would definitely come back next time I'm back in town! I also grabbed an extra side of pickled cucumbers that were a great addition!

Found out about this place when watching a Mikey C video on YouTube when we lived down in Oregon. We just moved to WA and wanted to try this place out since we now live closer. Theres some parking behind the building. We ordered a few items to try. The noodles and pork dish didnt have as much flavor as I would've liked, but I still enjoyed them. Our favorite was definitely the chicken. We shared all of these and still had enough leftover for dinner.

Ordered crispy fried chicken skins, fried chicken sandwich, scallion noodle, wine pork belly, minced pork over rice, coffee bubble tea, and panda bubble tea. Fried chicken skin sauce (creamy garlic something) was perfect for dipping, but should have just ordered the other chicken appetizer. Fried chicken sandwich was awesome but wished I had ordered spicy. Scallion noodle was exactly what my son wanted. Wine pork belly was too salty and too similar in taste to the minced pork over rice. Recommend ordering one or the other (minced pork was better). Coffee bubble tea was good and panda bubble tea was overrated, but my wife thought it was insanely good so probably just personal preference.

so much YUM. Wow. Those spicy fried chicken sandwiches were really well made, crunchy cucumbers, great sauce. The noodles were flavorful and addictive too omg. Thank you for the friendliness and delicious grub Hangry Panda. We are Hangry no more... :-)

I ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich and sesame scallion noodles for curbside pick-up. They were right on time when I came by to pick-up. The sandwich was very good. Chicken was moist, veggies were fresh and bun was not soggy when I got home. The noodles were also very flavorful - loved the 1/2 tea egg that came with it.

Nice owners, please support! We had cuke salad( a little expensive for a small side but very tasty), fries(also wished it was a bit cheaper for a small side), fried chicken skins, popcorn chicken, pork belly over rice, scallion noodles,milk tea and panda drinks. Everything was well seasoned. Porkbelly was a little on the salty side but very tasty and tender. Drinks were good, I really likes the milk tea. We will be back soon! Order online as it will cut your wait time since they make everything fresh.

Tried it out because of Strictly Dumpling on youtube and glad I did. The food is delicious and prepared right when you order so you know its fresh. I had the wine drunk pork, chicken teriyaki and fried chicken skin all of which are a must try. The chicken skin can be fatty so I would recommend doing the popcorn chicken instead which gives you the same flavor but with chicken meat. One thing to keep in mind is that there are only 2 little stools to sit so plan to eat in your car or at home.

This is an extremely special restaurant. It is an honor to be able to dine at archipelago. I visit Seattle once a year and was lucky enough to pre snag up a reservation to their cozy world class restaurant. From start to finish, expectations were exceeded. This coming from someone who works in the fine dining food industry. Obviously the food was amazing, thoughtful, unique, and most importantly…Filipino. But what made this one of the best dining experiences was the staff, and the STORY. This is focused themed dinner with a purpose. Not merely appealing to taste buds. But pushing Emotion, thought provoking, and neighborhood presence in the Filipino community. This is a show. Attention to detail is their mantra. Every guest is special to Archipelago. The wine pairing is funky and fun. But enhances and doesn’t detract. All subtle yet beautiful. Thank you so much!! You would be lucky to dine with archipelago.

Flawless execution of dishes and service. They were so careful about my pregnancy restrictions and I never even had to ask if anything was safe for me. They were so friendly and welcoming and of course we so enjoyed the food, that, in many aspects, were brand new flavors for me. The dishes were bold and creative, yet found a way to be nostalgic in some ways to me. What a wonderful place, I hope to return to again and again.

What an experience to have!! Thought was put into every course, every ingredient, every explanation, every paired drink. Everything! To say the service was excellent is an understatement. Absolutely fabulous people working together to give you a upper class experience. They only take reservations. Max occupancy is 12.

The Archipelago experience includes elevated Pinoy cuisine with expert storytelling. The most memorable part of the meal for me was the service. The noodle and some of the vegetable side dishes were great. Everything else was okay. They offer an interesting collection of Pacific NW wines as well.

Such a unique dining experience! I enjoyed every course as well as the stories that were shared. The food was unlike anything I’ve had before, in a good way. I highly recommend Archipelago if you are wanting to try something different and don’t mind splurging.

We had a wonderful tasting experience here last evening. I would highly recommend it for the person with an open palette and love of locally sourced food, family stories and history. The chef and staff weave family history, Philippine food history, and PNW history and all locally sourced foods into an amazing dining adventure and presentation.

Dinner at Archipelago is a stunningly intimate, flavorful, special experience! The team took wonderful care of us throughout. The flavors were astonishing. We love tasting menus, and this was one of the most creative and satisfying. We also enjoyed the stories introducing each course-- the staff enthusiastically and passionatel imparted knowledge about Filipino history and culture. Dietary restrictions and aversions (provided when reserving) were taken seriously and dealt with beautifully. The juice pairings are a thoughtful option to those who aren't drinking alcohol (or just not as much-- you can also add glasses of wine).

I really enjoyed the music and the vibe they had here. I know im supposed to be writing about food, but...the music was nice, kinda like yacht rock. Anyway, I ordered the grass fed beef burger with a salad and salmon burger with fries. the beef burger was decent, salad was goodish, just very zesty. My daughter said the salmon burger was good and could have been a bit more juicy. overall, nice place, good service.

I have wanted to eat here for sometime mainly because it is the best named restaurant in Seattle. Damn the Weather! are great words to live by in the Pac NW. The place did not disappoint, it is casual and lowkey a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or coworkers at lunch. Service is nice but not over-friendly it is very Seattle, location on 1st Ave is perfect, quality ambiance that is tasteful but not pretentious with no loud music or TVs. The food is simple with variety and a couple exotic choices. Kitchen is small and ingredients seem fresh and committed chefs. Clam chowder was good, steak salad generous portion of steak and hamburgers are as good as they get. Highly recommend. Not the cheapest but reasonable for Seattle, alcohol more pricey than the food I think.

We went for lunch as we have always wanted to try this place sadly we were disappointed with our visit. The location is close to us and ambience is great however they were playing loud music a big no-no in my book. I ordered the house ice tea which was great and the underwhelming crispy chicken sandwich, it was perfectly fried but under seasoned, the fries were mushy but the garlic aioli was delicious. My partner ordered the pesto grilled cheese it wasn’t great either it was bland however the salad dressing was good. I’m not sure I’d we will try the food here gain.

This one of our favorites and we try and pop in every time we are in Seattle. The oysters and fish dishes are superb. The service and atmosphere are warm and cozy - every time! Don’t miss this gem if you are in town!

Great food with French influence, steak frites was good especially fries in duck fat. Not too good of wine selection. We ordered 2 glasses of French Syrah Grenache and it tasted awful. Likely they had the bottle open for a long while. The waiter was cool to change the wines to a different type though.

A cool little moody bar for cocktails and elevated dinner. I had the veg black bean burger, which was decent. My husband had a salad with melon. Cocktails were good. Desert was pretty, but not amazing. Atmosphere was really comfortable, and our waitress was very charming.

The drinks were really good and the restaurant was clean. The burger was juicy, the chicken sandwich was good. The bread on the burger was a little dry. Overall a good experience.

People spoke so highly of JuneBaby so when we finally had the experience to eat here the food was a bit of a let down. We all agreed the best item of the 8 dishes we ordered were the potatoes that came with the brisket (meat arrived not warm). I will say drinks were fabulous and the variety of food was eclectic but portions were small for the price. Different aspects of the meal had no flavor/seasoning while others had an overwhelming amount to where you couldn’t quite eat it. For dessert the pecan chocolate chip pie felt similar to a store bought pie and the turnover with walnut ice cream was good and we’d order again - but still small portions. Beautiful atmosphere and great staff! The food was so so. The bill total was $320 (don’t forget they autograft).

We had the gumbo, catfish and fried chicken(served only on Sundays), biscuits, and cornbread . Everything was very hearty and filling. We couldn't fit in dessert but wish we could. The drink menu looked delicious... actually everything looked good, I had a hard time deciding what to get. Get there early for seating because the venue is on the smaller side, yet very cozy. There was beautiful art on the wall. Bathrooms clean, service was excellent and food DELICIOUS. We will be back.

Absolutely as great as it is raved to be. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This southern gem is loaded with goodies from baked goods to fried pig ears and oxtails. The food is refined, the environment is relaxed, and the prices are right. You must absolutely stop here for good food. Bring as many people as possible and try everything on the menu. Don’t worry if they’ve already run out of the fried chicken. Everything else is amazing and 100% worth your visit. We loved the buns, the pig ears, and the oxtails, but everything was great. Will definitely return for more visits.

World Class place here in Seattle. These photos are from my visits here in 2018 once in June the other time was in September. It only took me 5 years to figure out these google reviews. I haven’t been back but I probably should. There food was so good. They put a lot of thought and love into each plate. PB & J Ice cream sandwich was 🔥🔥🔥

Madison was our server, she was delightful. As a table of 3 we shared everything. My favorites were the pig ears and the fried chicken... It's double fried. Drinks were on point.

My wife and I had our date night here. We totally loved it. From the customer service to the experience to the food. If it is summer, ask if you can sit outside. The food was mostly southern type food with a twist of innovative cooking. Server took his time to explain to us all the ingredients in the food and how each meal is prepared. Street parking is available and easy to find on weekends else you can park a few blocks away and walk to the restaurant. Not sure about weekdays. Apparently the chef had won some globally recognized awards for his food and menu. Totally recommended. Prices are a bit on the high side, so be prepared. There is an automatic 20% charge for gratuity.
