Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Space Needle, a 605-ft-tall spire located at the Seattle Center, offers an observation deck and a rotating restaurant. It was built for the 1962 Worlds Fair and has since become an iconic symbol of the city. The tower's design combines elements of a giant balloon and a flying saucer, giving it a modern and futuristic look. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the city, Puget Sound, and distant mountains from its observation deck.
A trip to the top of the Space Needle is, of course, a must if you are visiting Seattle. To make our visit smooth, we bought tickets online and reserved a time slot ahead of time. This was a great decision—when we got there during opening hour, the process was pretty easy. There was already a long line, but it moves fairly quickly. The elevator ride up the tower was quick and an interesting experience in itself (you'll know what I mean when you are there!). Once you reach the top, the view is simply amazing. There are several designated selfie spots around the observation deck, which are great for capturing the perfect shot. A key tip: do factor in the weather condition, as you can, of course, only see far into the distance if the weather is nice and clear. My favorite part was going down a floor to experience the revolving glass floor. You can get a feel of it by taking pictures lying or sitting down on the glass if you aren't afraid of heights. It was a thrilling and unique experience that made the visit even more memorable. It was great! Highly recommend planning ahead and enjoying this iconic Seattle landmark.

Very cool attraction and the staff moves people on and off the elevators very efficiently. We happen to go on a beautiful afternoon at 5:30pm and saw a gorgeous sunset. It you have a fear of heights, this may not be for you. The elevator and floors at the top are glass! The view of Mt. Rainier was spectacular.

I recently visited the Space Needle in Seattle and had a really memorable experience. As someone who used the military discount, my ticket was $44, which made the admission a little more manageable compared to the standard price. Once you get to the top, the views are absolutely incredible—you can see the whole city, Mt. Rainier, and Puget Sound on a clear day. That said, it can get pretty crowded at the observation deck, so be prepared for some waiting and limited space during busy times. One important thing to know is that there’s no dedicated on-site parking for the Space Needle. The official website offers valet parking for $25, which is convenient but can be costly, especially if you’re already spending a lot on tickets. Otherwise, street parking in the area can be pricey and tough to find. I’d highly recommend using meter parking if you spot an open space—meters are actually free on Sundays, so that’s a good tip if you’re visiting at the end of the week! Alternatively, using apps like Way.com makes it easy to find and book nearby covered garage spots for as low as $10-$15, which is much cheaper than valet. Despite the costs and the crowd, the Space Needle is still a must-do for visitors to Seattle. The experience itself is world class and the memories are worth the planning. Just be sure to sort out parking in advance for less hassle and take advantage of discount rates whenever you can!

The Space Needle is everything you'd hope for in a Seattle landmark—sleek, futuristic, and full of history. From the moment you step into the elevator, the excitement builds as you're whisked up to the observation deck. The 360° views are absolutely stunning: Mount Rainier on a clear day, the shimmering Puget Sound, and the city skyline all laid out like a postcard. The rotating glass floor adds a thrilling touch, and the interactive displays are great for learning about Seattle’s past and present. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-organized.

We checked this place out for sunset recently and had a great visit. The timeline of events leading up to the opening of the Space Needle as you wait in line for the elevator is pretty cool. The elevator ride to the top is quick, but offers great views. The employee riding with us was informative and funny. The views from the top are spectacular. We unfortunately didn’t have the best view of Mt. Rainier on this visit, but you could see a silhouette in the distance. It was a beautiful sunset that day and well worth the trip. Highly recommend.

We were a party of 4 adults and visited on a Thursday morning at 11 am. We all had a great experience and enjoyed our visit . Everyone should go once. They offer a military discount , but those tickets can only be purchased in person. The process to buy tickets and enter is easy. Grounds and interior spotless. The elevator ride to the top of the Space Needle is so fast we really didn’t see the city as we rode up. I felt there were too many people in the elevator at once. The views are spectacular and lots of seating inside and outdoors. There is a casual cafe and bar at the top. There’s not anything to do except walk around, look at the views, take pictures, buy snacks and drinks. We were done with our visit in 45 minutes , but stretched it to 90 minutes by buying drinks and sitting down and talking. There is a very expensive Resturant ($100 per person) at the top and we’d like to visit that at night on a special occasion. The gift shop is very nice .
Victoria S — Google review
Amazing experience! My husband and I decided to try the space needle around 6:15pm and made it in time for the sunset across Puget Sound. Tickets were about $102 for two people at this time - but worth the price. We each had a drink (around $12 each) at the top and enjoyed the sunset. Was an incredible experience for everyone. Families, couples, and kids enjoyed the view at the top. Unforgettable part of our trip!
Hannah W — Google review
The Space Needle is an absolute must-visit landmark in Seattle! The views from the top are breathtaking—you can see Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, the downtown skyline, and even the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges on a clear day. The glass floors and floor-to-ceiling windows make the experience feel modern and thrilling, and the rotating glass floor adds a really unique touch. The elevators are fast, the staff are friendly, and the exhibits inside give a great bit of history about the 1962 World’s Fair. It can get crowded, so it’s best to go early or at sunset for the best views and photos. A little pricey, but totally worth it for such an iconic Seattle experience!

Chihuly Garden and Glass is a stunning museum and sculpture garden that showcases the breathtaking glass works of renowned artist Dale Chihuly. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Chihuly has gained global recognition for his vibrant and expansive collection of glass blown creations spanning over five decades. The museum, located near the iconic Space Needle in Seattle Center, offers visitors an immersive experience with both indoor and outdoor displays of Chihuly's magnificent sculptures.
Amazing pieces. Seattle location has been on my list after visiting the St Pete location. The glass house and garden was gorgeous as well and enjoyed watching his work in the theatre. I watched the live glass blowing as well and it was so fun to watch. The bar was so cute with all his collections showcased. My only thing was I paid $20 for what tasted like a $6 happy hour premade margarita. Cocktail bars are cheaper and they are handcrafted. Regardless, the bartender and all the staff were so kind and helpful. Highly recommend checking this museum out
Shelby O — Google review
This glass exhibit was beautifully displayed. The lighting was superb to show the multiple colors of the glass. The gardens were easy to navigate too. I watched a glass blowing demonstration, which runs on a regular schedule. There's a bar inside with the most interesting decor. Great menu and drinks, my drink was $20, so it's pricy. I bought a museum and Space Needle combo ticket which made it definitely worth it. Would highly recommend.

We visited Chihuly Garden and Glass right after our trip up the Seattle Space Needle, and the convenience can't be beaten. The two attractions are located very close to each other, making it a perfect combo for a day at the Seattle Center. From the moment we stepped inside, I was totally astonished. The artwork displayed, made entirely from glass, is beyond impressive. The vibrant colors, the organic shapes, the dramatic lighting, and the massive, complex formations all combined to form a constant "wow" factor in every single room. It feels like walking through a magical, otherworldly garden. Be aware that it is a compact museum, so I can easily imagine how crowded the indoor galleries can get during peak busy seasons. We were there in October and found the conditions perfect—the crowds were manageable and the weather was ideal. Speaking of weather, the outdoor garden area is absolutely beautiful, with the glass sculptures intertwined with natural foliage. However, I do think anyone visiting in the summer might have a hard time enduring the heat there, as it's quite exposed. Our autumn visit provided the perfect climate to enjoy both the intricate indoor exhibits and the beautiful garden setting at a leisurely pace. A must-see for art lovers, but timing your visit can make all the difference.
Jayne Z — Google review
It took us less than an hour to walk through, but every display was stunning and full of detail. One thing that really stood out to us was how clean everything was. The air felt spotless and there was no dust on or around the glass pieces, which was amazing to see. Outside, there was live glass blowing, and they were making vases while explaining the process. It was fascinating to watch, and the artists were great at interacting with the audience and answering questions. Overall, it was a short visit but very memorable and worth seeing.
Mercedes — Google review
The Chihuly Garden and Glass is absolutely stunning—one of the most beautiful and unique attractions in Seattle! Every exhibit is a masterpiece of color, light, and imagination. The glass sculptures are breathtaking, from the intricate indoor installations to the vibrant pieces displayed among the gardens. The Glasshouse itself, with its massive hanging sculpture and view of the Space Needle through the glass ceiling, is simply spectacular. The layout is easy to navigate, the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, and the gift shop is filled with beautiful keepsakes. Whether you’re an art lover or just looking for something inspiring and peaceful, this is a must-see experience that captures the creativity and magic of Dale Chihuly’s work.
Ajit K — Google review
This place is absolutely stunning. We bought a combined ticket to visit the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass, which worked really well. The glass artwork is incredible - so intricate, colourful and creative. The exhibition showcases the unique style of Dale Chihuly, with both indoor galleries and outdoor garden installations that make it a truly immersive experience. Definitely worth a visit if you appreciate art and design.
Maxim S — Google review
Visiting Chihuly Garden and Glass was nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment I stepped into the Glasshouse, I was immersed in Dale Chihuly’s vibrant world of color, light, and imagination. Each installation felt like a living sculpture fluid, organic, and impossibly intricate. The galleries are thoughtfully curated, showcasing the evolution of Chihuly’s artistry with stunning detail. But the real magic happens in the garden, where glass blooms and tendrils intertwine with real flora, creating a surreal harmony between human creativity and natural beauty. It’s like walking through a dream. 🎟️ Ticket Info - Adults (13–64): $35–$42.50 - Seniors (65+): $30–$37.50 - Youth (5–12): $30–$37.50 - Children (under 4): Free - Combo Ticket (Chihuly + Space Needle): $69 - Seattle CityPASS (includes multiple attractions): $99–$129 💡 Discount Tips - Save over 40% with the Seattle CityPASS, which includes admission to Chihuly Garden and Glass plus other top attractions like the Space Needle and Seattle Aquarium. For a more focused deal, consider the Chihuly + Space Needle combo ticket, perfect for a day of iconic Seattle experiences. 🕰️ Plan Your Visit The exhibit is self-paced, and most visitors spend 1–2 hours exploring. Evening visits offer a magical illuminated garden experience. ✨ Whether you're an art enthusiast, a curious traveler, or simply looking for a unique outing, Chihuly Garden and Glass delivers inspiration and beauty at every turn—and with the right ticket, it’s a great value too.

I have had this place on my Wish List for a while and WOW! It blew me away! The lighting and staging of these phenomenal sculptures adds to the experience. I like how they do the limited timed-entry so that it doesn’t get too crowded. The demonstrations and hands-on learning spots were staffed by knowledgeable and patient people.

Seattle is a beautiful city with so much to do & see. It's best to park and walk. Just be prepared with comfortable shoes because streets are steep especially going up. Read reviews before going to restaurants do not let the fancy names trap you.

Chihuly Glass Museum and Garden was so dope! I loved it! The glass structures were colorful and unique. I took lots of pictures. A wonderful gem under the Space Needle. Worth the $45 ticket price. So glad we didn't buy the combo ticket. The Space Needle line was out the door and snaked around inside. We didn't want to wait that long. Parking prices were atrocious! Absolutely ridiculous! The price plus two taxes and a service fee helped balloon the cost! And no parking security to roam around for that price either!

First experience at the Climate Pledge Arena was Lady Gaga Mayhem Ball. What an absolute delight! Entry was well organized and moved quickly once doors opened. Concessions were pricey, but not more than expected. Seats were great, right on the aisle, though everyone stood the entire time. Definitely glad I got to see the show. No complaints about the venue.

So much going on, couldn't get bored even if you sit and people watch, but we went in to the Chihuly glass Musesum/gallery, and so glad we chose this as one of our 3 places on the Citypass deal. So colorful and beautifully displayed, very impressive art in.person, I have tried to capture some of that in my photos.

The Museum of Pop Culture, located in Seattle, is a must-visit for anyone interested in music, pop culture, and science fiction. The museum showcases over 80,000 American artifacts including items from iconic musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin's bell-bottoms and Elvis Presley's leather jacket. Designed by Frank Gehry to resemble a smashed guitar, the ultra-modern building also features the Sky Church performance arena for concerts.
So much fun for the whole family. We spent hours exploring and having fun in the many exhibits. Music, sci fi, movie memorabilia, art. And great for all ages. We will be visiting again. A must see in Seattle.

We had a blast. We loved all the exhibits, and especially the sound lab! This is a must visit place, for all ages. My favorite was 2nd floor with the sci-fi, fantasy and horror exhibits. The music church was a nice place to rest and soak in the music. In Sept 2025, the Black music exhibit was a special experience.

This is among the core attractions of Seattle as the museum provides great insights into music, movies, comics and associated culture. The exhibitions in the museum keep on changing and associated information is available on the website. Tickets can be purchased online as well as at the spot. The Museum is located in the Seattle Center area and is accessible by bus, mono rail, self driving, as well as the city tour hop on hop off tour bus. The music is closed each week on a Wednesday instead of Sunday. The museum has an interesting outlook as the building has a very futuristic and artistic outlook with buildings in various colors.

Museum was super cool. Lots of different genres of pop culture to experience (Fantasy, sci-fi, anime, music, video games, etc). There were some really fun interactive exhibits too (Indie video game and the Sound Lab). I really loved the Sound Lab and playing the instruments. The horror section was awesome as well. A very cool museum right next to the Space Needle. Definitely worth a visit if you're into pop culture. We went on a Monday. It never felt too busy. The staff was very friendly as well.

Very good exhibition on Jimmy Hendrix ! Was hoping for more on underground Seattle music from 80’. Great exhibition on horror movies and Science Fiction films. There was an exhibit on Asian comic culture, but I haven’t explored this one . The building itself is very impressive as is collection of the famous musician’s guitars 🎸

Nice museum, and worth the price of admission once, as a tourist. Architecturally interesting from the outside and the inside is full of pop culture artifacts. Still surprised that there seems to be a lack of Pokémon memorabilia, given that as a franchise it is the largest IP in the world. Would be an interesting case study to understand the mass market appeal. The museum has plenty of varied exhibits, with the fantasy section possibly the most well designed with a structural breakdown of major archetypes. Would recommend!
Justin K — Google review
I had a very good experience, wish I could have had more time, but loved the Asian comics exhibition it was very interesting and has comics from different countries in Asia. The other exhibits were also very good, Fantasy, Terror and Science Fiction, q lot of original prompts from well known movies. had a very wonderful time with my family. One thing I didn't like at all was that in the shop they sell a lot of AI generated art in their t shirts... that was really disappointing.

An Amazing spot to get a clear panoramic view of Downtown Seattle. The best viewing point is located at the end of the park beyond the railing, and that is the spot to get best picture for Seattle Downton Background. This park is located in a residential neighborhood and must not be very comfortable for the residents as tourists swarm this spot. The place is easily accessible from downtown with a couple of buses number 2 and 13 that drop you off at a 4 minute walk. There are 8 city facing benches that allow a calm viewing. There are a couple of telescopes installed that can be used with coins. There are nice grass gardens and a unique sculpture as well. The park is dog friendly and short duration free street parking is available. This is also a good spot for a picnic on a nice day.

It is definitely one of the best spots to get an amazing view of the skyline and more. One should also walk up to the end of the road if you are around sunset time to view one of those awesome seattle sunsets. Don't expect the park to be like any other big parks.. it's just a small place on the side of the street with a few benches.

The absolute best view of downtown! Bring your cameras, your family, your dog, and your boss. For real though, don’t miss this view on an absolutely clear day. You can even see Rainier if the conditions are right! They do have a telescope you can use for 50 cents. It only takes quarters. There are some benches if you want to hang out for a bit. Quiet and safe area but a very small space.

The Seattle Great Wheel is one of the best attractions on the waterfront! The ride offers incredible panoramic views of Elliott Bay, downtown Seattle, and the Olympic Mountains—especially beautiful at sunset or after dark when the wheel lights up. Each gondola is enclosed and climate-controlled, so it’s comfortable no matter the weather. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the whole experience feels safe and well-run. It’s a little on the pricey side, but the views and memories make it totally worth it. Whether you’re a local showing off the city or a visitor exploring for the first time, the Seattle Great Wheel is a must-see landmark!

Little pricey, but it's a tourist destination so the wife and I had to do it while visiting Seattle and cheaper than Navy Pier. We went around 5 rotations allowing you to take in all the sights and plenty of time for pictures. Your group is able to get a cabin to yourselves, up to 6, which is nice for some time away from other tourists. We all know how that can be.

The Seattle Great Wheel is a fun experience and a great way to see the city from a new angle. The views of the waterfront and mountains are awesome, especially at sunset. The ride feels smooth and safe, and the cabins are surprisingly comfortable. It is a bit pricey for how short the ride is, but you’re really paying for the view and the novelty of it. Overall, it’s a solid 4-star stop if you’re exploring the pier.

I visited in mid-October so there was not much of a line. We bought tickets at the venue and waited about 25 minutes before stepping onto the wheel. This is located right on the pier and gives you a good view of Puget Sound and the Market Place areas of Seattle. We were a little surprised by how fast the wheel turned, but we did go around 5 times before exiting the attraction. We had clear skies and mild temperatures on the day we were at the Seattle Great Wheel. The views were stunning and the value for the ride was worth the price of admission. We paid $23 per adult. The individual cars can fit up to six people; we were fortunate to have only the two of us in the car.

Go at sunset for a fun evening activity! We wanted to watch the sunset from the great wheel, and it was super easy to walk up grab a ticket and hop on. The line definitely got longer the closer to sunset it got so make sure to be a little earlier for timing. The views were stunning and we got to go around for a while.

If you visit Seattle then you definitely have to try the Seattle Great Wheel! The views are amazing and you'll definitely be happy you tried it. Prices are between $18-$23 as of September 2025. If you want an awesome view of the City of Seattle and an experience you'll remember, then definitely give The Seattle Great Wheel a try!

Some of the best Donuts I ever had. Had a dozen cinnamon fresh out the machine. The lady must thrown in at least 16 though, so thx for that. Had some the next day and they were still delicious.

A must try for down and dirty, yummy mini donuts! This was my third time here over the years. The cinnamon and powdered sugar are the best. Don’t worry about the maple ones. The service was friendly and quick! They know what they are doing. The market was loud and busy (which was fine), but the line took a long while and their stand was not clean…maybe it’s they ARE so busy and crowded, which is okay.
Mark J — Google review
I'm sorry I don't get it. These were not worth the price tag. Dudes working here looked like they were over it and it was barely a bit after noon. The maple bacon and sprinkles were way too sweet and weren't warm. The only warm ones were the plain and cinnamon/sugar. I also ordered a cappuccino (omg no!!) No! We purchased the dozen mixed and tried one of each. I threw away that cappuccino (shaking head). I get it tourist-y spot but it's a no for me.

This place was cool! We got an assorted and dozen and my favorite donuts were the sprinkled - the cinnamon donuts are really good too. The craziest part is that you can see the donut machine and they take out the donuts fresh! Great time!

A dozen a day keeps the depression at bay! Took the harbour cruise and the tour guide said that this stall had the best donuts in the city. I went and verified her claim, they were incredible. Soft and warm on the inside with crunch on the outside (not to mention the variety). I ordered the assortment and got to try all their flavours which I recommend. They’re ticked to the left of the fish market as you enter Pike Place. Worth every penny.
Daniel M — Google review
I had some difficulty finding the place, but once I did I felt kind of dumb because it's right inside the Pike's Market entrance (turn left at the first fish stand). Glad I finally found it, because the donuts are fantastic! They are really small, so I'd definitely recommend getting a dozen and a half or two dozen if it's for several people. We got an assortment of their flavors, including cinnamon sugar, chocolate sprinkle, maple, etc. I think the basic cinnamon sugar one was my favorite, but all were delicious. Highly recommend!

The food was fresh, done well, with amazing combinations of texture, temperature, flavors, etc. We tried the fried fish sandwich, the pork sandwich, and sides of clam chowder and potato salad. They were each incredible! The service was friendly and complete. The space was cool and clean! Thank you for an amazing experience today!

Thought Matt’s in the Market might be a tourist trap, but it completely exceeded expectations. Service was impeccable—even when there was a small hiccup with our reservation, it was promptly and professionally handled. The views are absolutely stunning, and the food is next level. The salmon was perfectly cooked—fresh, simple, and delicious. Highly recommend!

Located across from the famous Pike Place market sign. Make sure to make reservations. The restaurant does not have a massive amount of seating. All the staff here were amazing. Our bartender was the best. He gave us so many recommendations to visit around the area. He also was able to answer any questions we had. The ambiance was perfect with views of the market. Cleanliness was superb. The food was amazing. Would recommend this place and visit again.

Had a lovely time, great drinks, stellar service from Sam W. The oysters, beef tar tar, and pork were INCREDIBLE. My friends had the octopus and said the depth of flavor was spot on, they raved and raved about it! Sadly, I could only give 4 stars for the food because the halibut I had was overdone and therefore dry, even with the delicious gazpacho it was served with. Over cooked white fish is always a let down, but I would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

The menu here is very eclectic. ATMOSPHERE: As soon as you walk in it feels like you're in someone's apartment. Old, quaint, dim accent lighting, open air, cinder block walls & varnished wood ceilings with huge windows with a great view of the Public Market. The kitchen is in open view. FOOD: Burrata Mozzarella pieces with a balsamic fig sauce, fresh figs, rhubarb and toasted bread. This was really good. Nice app to sweeten your palette. Grilled Octopus Damn this was good! A couple of legs with kimchee & arugula. Yummy! Charcuterie The selection changes daily. We got steak tartar, rabbit patte, raw scallops with tobiko, and chicken liver mousse. Everything was delish! Raw phoebes beware! Half Roasted Chicken Crispy & tender chicken over mashed potatoes, with wild mushrooms, pearl onions and sprouts on the side. I almost never order chicken in restaurants because its so boring and common, but our server recommended this and it was delish! He might've changed my discriminative mind! Kurobuta Pork Tenderloin Super tender pre-cut chunks of pork with a smooth salty flavor, over a bed of mashed potatoes, greens, ham hock, and 2 pieces of chicharone. SERVICE: We had reservations for 9:30 pm. The place was still pretty busy. The host greeted us within a minute. Our server was very attentive and professional. Our drinks never got below half before they were refilled. Excellent without being overdone. OVERALL: Excellent food and service. A great alternative if you've had enough seafood.

The whole experience is quintessentially Seattle. Expect delicious seafood, excellent service, and a view right above Pike Place Market. Watching the sunset over the water beneath the buzz and glow of the iconic neon sign is an absolute bucket list dining experience. If you love seafood you can’t go wrong with the seafood stew. It’s absolutely loaded - salmon, clams, scallops. Yum!

The view and atmosphere were lovely! I don’t eat seafood, but my friends raved about the seafood stew and heirloom salad as they ate it. They will be full until tomorrow morning. I had a great time, the waiter was exceptionally friendly, and I left with a free cranberry juice. It was such a treat, and there was even ice! :)

Lenox Afro Latin Soul is a newly opened Puerto Rican restaurant located in Belltown. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, with the coconut lime tres leches dessert being a standout favorite for many. Visitors have praised the balanced flavors and less sweet profile, comparing it to a delightful twist on key lime pie. Guests have also enjoyed the tasty food and great cocktails, making for an excellent dining experience at this new spot in town.
We went for a special event dinner so all of these food items may not be on the normal menu. We enjoyed the crispy rice and the pineapple fancier cake the most. The Edgar Martinez drink was also great. Dishes were very flavorful! The staff was friendly and although they were busy working the event, they checked on us as often as possible and made the experience fun. I’ll definitely be back to try the regular menu!

Food was delicious! We had a large group with many different selections. Everyone from vegetarians in our group to those that are admittedly adventurous loved the experience. The only criticism was our waiter seemed a little disappointed and slightly upset that we didn’t order the chefs selection. It was basically what they feel like we should order. We end up ordering individually, and everyone was much happier. I felt like they wanted to give us more food than we actually ended up eating. This is minor, because the experience was great! Amazing food and different cuisine. Highly recommend.

A must visit for me. From the drinks to the service to all the dishes. Amazing. Can't go wrong. Vibe and service was great. Made a reservation for 3 and quickly got sat down. Besides that, there was no line before or after we got there. Drinks: can't go wrong with any of them. Lots of flavor and complexity (I tried some of the gin drinks and were very nicely done, especially for someone who is not into gin). They did take a bit of time for the dishes to arrive and they preemptively compted the drinks without us asking for it. 10/10 service right there. For the food, go family style. Every dish was exquisite. The lechón had to be my favorite along with the pastelillos. Great crunch with the lechón. The tres leches dessert had a homemade jam and whip cream on top that was just top notch. Almost ordered a second serving for how good it is. For a group of 3, order ~5 dishes total.

After seeing it was named top 20 restaurants by Bon Appetit this year, I had to make it out to Lenox! I think the only criticism I have is that the mofongo was a tad bit salty, but it and everything else was seriously amazing. I’m dreaming of the pastelillos as I write this. The service was also so great and so welcoming. I recommend you try this place at least once!

This is one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever had in Seattle. The empanadas, seared halibut and sauces were the highlights. This restaurant is pricier but I thought it was worth every penny. The cocktails and servers were wonderful as well.
Alexis A — Google review
Afro-latin cuisine isn't even a term I've heard before (Australian) but I was immediately curious and learned quickly that it was my favourite things with real seasoning. A cracking mofongo with mashed plantains and chicharron swimming in a rich shrimp broth, and lechon in its fried glory on rice that is dressed well in its dirty spice blend, just what I want to eat. Cocktails are seriously good too, cafe con ce is a winner and a clarified pina colada works if you want to head more tropical and refreshing. I want to eat at more places like this whenever I'm in America.

The service at this restaurant is excellent and the staff are very friendly. We ordered Alcapurrias to start with which were incredible (we ended up ordering a second portion!) and a Pollo Al Carbon which we didn’t like as it looked a little too pink and too salty, but they took care of that one for us, which was nice. Overall had a great experience and will back next time we’re in Seattle!

Restaurant
Sizzle & Crunch SLU is a Vietnamese fast-casual restaurant that offers generous portions of food for $10. The ordering process is similar to Chipotle, where customers can choose from a variety of proteins and toppings for their banh mis, rice, or salad bowls. Customers praise the ample servings of veggies and protein, with options like grilled chicken and sunny side up eggs. The BB special banh mi is highly recommended for its large portion size and quick service.
Food was so good! I got there pork bowl with rice and their house green sauce. Food was amazing! Service was amazing and pretty quick. I got my food and sat out on their patio and had my dinner. Thank you Sizzle and Crunch for making me first meal in Seattle one to remember!

My husband and I stopped by Sizzle & Crunch for the first time, and it was such a great find! It’s tucked away in a really cute little area (we’re new to Seattle so I don’t quite know the neighborhood yet), but the location adds to its charm. From the moment we walked in, the staff was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The portions were generous and definitely worth the price. I ordered the strawberry lemonade half-sweet, refreshing and tasty, though a little more sour than I expected, so next time I’d go full sweet. For food, I built my own chicken bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was well-seasoned, the toppings were fresh, and the balance of flavors came together perfectly. What impressed me the most was the rice, it was fluffy and cooked just right. I really dislike when rice in bowls is mushy or clumpy, but here it was spot on and tied the whole dish together. The atmosphere is casual yet inviting, making it a great spot for a quick but satisfying meal. Overall, Sizzle & Crunch hit all the marks for flavor, quality, and service. We’ll definitely be back to try more!

I recently tried the grilled chicken rice bowl with all the toppings from Sizzle and Crunch, and it was fantastic. The dish was very tasty and affordable, with great portion size that left me feeling satisfied. The grilled chicken was tender and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the fresh and crunchy vegetables. Special mention goes to the green sauce – it was delicious, creamy, and packed with flavor. It added a delightful kick to the dish and tied all the ingredients together beautifully. I could easily eat it every day! The setting is simple and comfortable, ideal for both solo diners and groups. The service was quick, making it an ideal spot for a fast yet delicious meal. They emphasize that their food is prepared daily to deliver that burst of flavor you’ve been craving, and they definitely delivered on that promise. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tasty, affordable, and satisfying meal.

I've been to the U-District location of this chain a few times, and this was my first time at the SLU place I like the concept of this fast casual type quick service restaurant. I've heard this chain called the Vietnamese Chipotle before, and I can see why as they follow a very similar ordering pattern What I got here was the half-rice half-salad bowl with pork, egg, green sauce, and a few vegetables The first thing I have to remark on here is the portions are incredible. My bowl was absolutely stuffed to the brim - practically trying to explode by the end as there wasn't enough space for the sauce on top to even breathe - it was crushed up against the lid. This easily made two full meals worth of food, which makes it a great deal Unfortunately, the main part of this meal, the pork (which I got a double portion of) was pretty disappointing. The portion was huge, but this pork was pretty dry, and had basically no flavor at all. The food would've been a lot better if this had been improved. My guess is it had been sitting in the tray for a long time, leading to the dryness However, most of the other parts of this meal were much better. The rice was perfectly cooked - very moist and maintained its shape throughout. The combination of the salad & vegetables were great; especially paired with the green sauce, which is an absolute delight I also liked the idea of an egg I could mix around with If I ever come here in the future, I'll get the tofu - as I don't think I can trust this place to serve good meat The price here is also a little expensive - around $17 for a double protein, but like I mentioned, the amount of food does make up for it Overall, it's a pretty good lunch spot that'll last you multiple meals, but I would stay away from the meat. 7.5/10

Great vibes. Pretty good views from both field level and :3rd level. Found pretty interesting for a Wednesday 1:00 pm game and the entry was super long line up. We were at the game 30 minutes after the start. This could be improved. It is the experience and we loved it all but really didn’t like how the parking around the park was not only ridiculously expensive also impossible to find one 20 minutes before start. Regardless of all, fantastic experience to enjoy some good ball game.

As Vancouver doesn’t have a Major League team, I sometimes attend games with my family, who are keen on baseball. The food is generally good, the staff are friendly, and the various events held during the game make for an enjoyable time. When it rains, the dome closes, and on fine days or during evening fireworks displays, watching it open is quite a sight. However, I feel it would be safer if crowd movement through the concourses were managed with a little more order.

I recently attended my daughter's graduation ceremony at T-Mobile Park on June 7, 2025, and had a wonderful experience. The venue was easy to get to, with convenient parking available at a reasonable price. Entry was seamless, with no wait to get inside, which made the experience hassle-free. The stadium itself was well-maintained, and while it was a bit drafty indoors, the clean washrooms and overall organization made up for it. The ceremony started on time and moved along efficiently, making it an enjoyable and smooth event. The only downside was the street vendors—both outside and inside—selling items at excessively high markups. Although we made a couple of purchases, I’d recommend avoiding that. Overall, our visit was great, and I would definitely return for other events in the future

Bill Speidel’s Underground Tour in Seattle is a popular tourist attraction that offers guided subterranean walks through the original city before it was destroyed by the 1889 fire. Visitors can explore storefronts and sidewalks buried beneath the streets of Pioneer Square while learning about the history of the underground city. The tour is highly recommended by both locals and visitors, providing a unique perspective on Seattle's past.
Superb! An amazing 75 minutes full of history, stories, amazing characters, and some spooky tunnels too. I had no idea such a rich history was beneath our feet. Our guide (Adriane) was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and great interacting with both adults and kids. A highly recommended way to learn more about Seattle’s rich history.

What an unforgettable experience! If you're in Seattle, the **Beneath the Streets** tour is an absolute must, and I can't recommend it enough. Our tour guide, **Richard**, truly made the whole experience. From the moment we met him, his friendly and funny personality made us feel right at home. He had this perfect mix of humor, knowledge, and storytelling that kept the tour engaging from start to finish. Richard didn't just guide us through the historical tunnels beneath Seattle—he brought the city's past to life in a way that felt both fun and educational. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it’s contagious! He made sure to involve everyone in the group, offering fun facts, quirky anecdotes, and a few hilarious stories that you wouldn’t find in a history book. His passion for Seattle's history, especially the wild tales of the city's underground, really shone through. The way Richard answered questions and kept things lively was so refreshing—it felt less like a tour and more like an exciting adventure into the past. The tour itself was well-paced, informative, and perfectly sized, and Richard’s charm added that personal touch that made it all the more enjoyable. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a unique experience in Seattle, Beneath the Streets with Richard is a winner. Thank you, Richard, for making this such a memorable experience—we’ll definitely be telling friends to check it out next time they’re in town!

A friend found this place online since I had an upcoming trip to Seatown. Good find my friend! The tickets for adults were $30. There's a cafe inside that if you purchase something, it gives you priority access to sit in the room where your tour starts before everyone else. Not really necessary if you ask me. The first part of the 75-minute tour is info on the history of Seattle, the men responsible for the preservation of the area, and how the tour got started. The large group is then split into 4 smaller groups of about 20-30 people. The guides speak very loudly so you never strain to hear what they're saying. You then exit the room and cross the street where you see 3 underground areas that are amazingly still intact. Our guide was Rod, who was great. There's a musty smell and lots of cobwebs but no visible spiders or creatures if you're wondering. The walk isn't hard by any means, but there are some mild stairs and low overhangs and doorways. I don't think claustrophobic people will have any problems. You end up in a gift shop, no surprise, right next door to where the tour started. OVERALL: Awesome & interesting tour. Highly recommended!

Quick tour at just over 1 hour to get a deep dive into Seattle’s history from the early days. The “underground” part of the tour is quite small which 3 short sections. It didn’t feel any different or magical then going into an old basement. The history itself is great, but depending on what other Seattle tours you do, you may learn some of it anyhow. The tour guide was great - crazy good energy and kept the history fun and relatable. I would feel better if the cost was 50% lower. It’s quite a lot of money for what you see. I wouldn’t have it high on your Seattle list, but if you have a hundred to spend (you will also tip the guide of course) and a couple extra hours go for it. For the cost, there are many more enjoyable things in Seattle to do in my opinion.

The Underground Tour is a really fun way to pass the time in Seattle. It’s unique, informative, and gives you the chance to learn a lot of cool history about the city while actually walking through its underground passages. The guides keep it interesting and entertaining, so it never feels boring. Getting to see the hidden parts of Seattle that most people don’t even know exist is definitely a highlight. It’s something different from the usual tourist stops and gives you a whole new perspective on the city. That said, the spaces are narrow in some areas, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re claustrophobic. For everyone else, it’s a great activity that’s both educational and fun, especially if you want to mix up your Seattle experience.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Gum Wall, located in an alley under Pike Place Market, is a unique and somewhat gross attraction that has been accumulating used chewing gum since the 1990s. Visitors can explore the market's different levels, sample various foods, and visit nearby attractions like the World Famous Giant Shoe Museum and the original Starbucks before venturing to see this unusual mural.
The fact that tens of thousands of people, from all over the country and all over the world, have added to something so simple and typically innocuous, simply blows my mind with the sheer magnitude of its size. I loved how people were getting creative with such a simple act, and random strangers were interacting so friendly, helping each other take photos and being polite, when excusing themselves out of the way of a photo being taken. There's a poster wall that adjoins it, which is equally as fascinating with its local and national take on socioeconomic politics as well as general life happenstances. I probably got just as much culture in Post Alley than a pop-up or small museum! Plus, I'm a people watcher, so seeing the interactions was a big part of the experience. I love seeing people happy, and helping each other out, even if they can't communicate through native languages!

Ya gotta to the gum wall! I can't remember when I fist hears about this rather disgusting urban phenomenon but I've always wanted to see it up close! I had a 7 hour layover at the Seattle Airport and thought, whelp let's go to the gum wall. In a dingy and dirty alleyway below Pike Place Market lies a collective art project of walls filled with gum. Apparently this started in the 90's and has been around every since. It's kinda iconic and it's definitely one of a kind. Since I am in the business of one of a kind adventures, this was absolutely worth the stop. Find out about other wonderfully quirky places through my websites or on socials.

Another unmissable Downtown Seattle attraction. This famous wall is located right below the Pike Place market in the Post Alley, and actually starts right below the big Farmer Market sign of Pike Place Market. As soon as you enter the alley you can smell the chewing gum flavor all around. Everything is covered in shewed up chewing gum including the walls, railings, and even the utility supply meters. It’s a tradition to stick a gum on these walls when you are here. A must visit spot.

While visiting Seatle I had the opportunity to visit The Seatle gum wall. I enjoyed the graffiti ( which I feel is a work of art through out the city) the gravitational led to the gum wall. The gum wall is gross yet beautiful. It was larger then anticipated with different segments of gum. The room had a distinguished smell to it.... a cross between juicy fruit gum and spearmint. You need to see it to experience its glory...
Cindy M — Google review
Ummmm, I don't know what to say. It's a cross between gross and street art. On one hand it's beautiful and on the other hand, what the hell is going on. LOL. It was hard for us to find because it's actually under the Pike Place Market. Google has a problem when we tried to show us the street view because it only shows the subway, I'm assuming because it's on the lower elevation. Regardless, its very confusing. It's under the shops with the big sign that says Public Market Center (with a clock) down below, next to Market Theater. BTW - I don't think the city likes the gum because it covers all the meters and pipes. LOL-I'm putting gum on my meter at home hopping they won't see how much I use.

I really enjoyed visiting the Gum Wall in Seattle! It’s such a fun and quirky spot tucked away in Post Alley near Pike Place Market. The colorful wall is full of gum from people all over the world — it’s weird in the best way possible and definitely something you don’t see every day. The atmosphere is lively with people taking pictures, laughing, and just having fun. It’s also a short walk from so many other cool spots — Pike Place Market, the waterfront, and great food options nearby. If you go, make sure to bring a pack of gum so you can leave your mark, too! It’s one of those must-see Seattle landmarks that’s both a little gross and totally awesome at the same time. I’d definitely recommend stopping by for the experience and a few colorful photos.

I found this place by accident. It's located on an abandoned-looking building in an alley below the Pike Street market. As soon as you arrive, you smell the faint hint of old sugar from a million or so chewed gums. The patterns & colors are pretty impressive up close. It's gross, nasty coolness. The ones on the window sill have a dripping effect that adds to the texture. There were a bunch of confused honey bees trying to pollinate the gum. The only other place I've seen something similar though on a much, much smaller scale is on an overpass in Venice, Italy walking from the pier into the city. And no, I didn't add to the artwork. Maybe I will next time.
Maui T — Google review
A weird yet wonderful collection of gum. It was so funny to wander through this alley and see the years of chewing gum plastered across the walls. Some folks got creative and formed their gum into a design or word, while others just pressed theirs into place. I think this could be a fun activity for kids if you picked up a pack of gum and some hand sanitizer first. Made me smile knowing mankind had come together over the years to participate in the gross but fun collaborative art project. Do not buy tickets, this is a 100% free activity.

Zoos & Aquariums
Zoo
Located on Pier 59 along Elliott Bay, the Seattle Aquarium is a popular waterfront destination offering interactive exhibits and virtual reality shows. As a non-profit organization, it serves as the premier resource for marine experiences and conservation education in the Pacific Northwest. Visitors can explore the diverse sea life of the region while learning about conservation efforts through various educational programs. The aquarium provides an exciting way to discover more about Puget Sound and the world's oceans, making it a must-visit indoor attraction in Seattle.
We’re annual members and visit every couple of months, and while it’s not an all-day outing (we usually stay under an hour with our toddler), it’s always a great experience. The staff are kind and welcoming, the events are fun, and we love the early member days when they open a little early. Above all, we’ve had so many magical moments here, like the scuba diver pausing to wave at our daughter. It’s those little touches and experiences that keep us coming back. A big thank you to the staff

Seattle Aquarium is a spot I like to visit when i travel to Seattle. It’s so pretty inside the building! The animals look like they’re healthy and are treated well. I believe my biggest issue with the aquarium is the fact that there’s not really a lot to see even with the Ocean Pavilion added onto the price. A lot of the stuff that they have is really cool and fun. You get to touch some of the animals as well. But it doesn’t seem like the quantity of animals equal the price of admission. I understand having to keep the aquarium funded. However, $80 for two people is just so much especially when there’s not a lot to do. Lastly, I will say, for the most part, the staff were nice however, others were a little interesting. We entered the building because the front door was open and we walked in. Multiple employees looked at us, but didn’t say anything so we didn’t think anything of it. Until one of them with a little bit of a raise voice said “oh we’re not open yet”. It was literally 30 seconds till opening. I can understand not wanting to have anyone in there but at the same time we could wait in the line until it was officially opened. It was very odd and rubbed me the wrong way. Other than that, go on a weekday, it’s cheaper. Because the usual price is $100 or more for two people.

Awesome! The aquarium has two parts. In one, you can have an interactive experience and touch the sea urchins and other things. You can also see some jellyfish and other pretty small animals. In the other park, you can see some sharks and whales and seals and stingrays. When you are entering, you may see a large tub of whales and other large aquatic animals above you. Overall, this is a very, very, very, VERY good aquarium!
Eli G — Google review
Overall I think that this experience was fun and interesting but definitely not worth the price. If you have extra cash lying around and want to explore Seattle more then I would suggest this! But, it is not a make or break experience if you are visiting Seattle. You are able to see an octopus, fish, otters, even an interactive area— where you can touch starfish and other sea life alike. Something that could level up the aquarium is either adding another animal or simply decreasing the price by $5-$10.. I went with two other people and the consensus was that it is simply too expensive. While I can not attest to the quality before renovations, as I did not visit before, currently I do not think it is worth the money :(
Asia S — Google review
Such a wonderful place! The ocean pavilion is incredibly well designed, watching all the fish in the large tank is such a fun experience. I enjoy the touch pool area where you get to interact with the sea creatures. The octopus is very fun, I recommend going to the 11am feeding. He gets very active then. I had a lot of fun by the closer look table where you get to see microscopic creatures in the water they take right from the pier! Who knew baby barnacles were so cute.
Nikolett M — Google review
We visited the Seattle Aquarium around noon on a Wednesday so it wasn't super crowded. When you first enter, there is an interactive experience where you can dip your hands into a tidepool and touch sea urchins, starfish etc. Around the same area are exhibits for jellyfish and an octopus. Further in, you can view larger animals such as otters, seals, sharks, stingrays etc. However, we were sadly unable to see any harbor seals or river otters as the habitats were empty. After all the exhibits there are 2 gift shops with various souvenirs but the plushies were really cute! Overall, I'd say we had a relatively good experience and might visit again at a later date.

The Fremont Troll, also known as the Troll Under the Bridge, is a renowned 6.5-ton mixed media statue created by local artists in 1990. This iconic landmark is located under the Aurora Bridge and has become a must-see for visitors to Seattle. Inspired by the folktale 'Billy Goats Gruff,' this giant concrete formation invites visitors to climb its fingers, arms, and head.
Such a cool, beautiful little place to visit. You and your loved ones will be sure to enjoy this place- especially the kids. It has a trail that you walk through and info about the trees and their importance in our world. There is also a turtle there where you can sprinkle some water on it and make a wish. The flowers are so beautiful. It is very relaxing and peaceful. My family and I went early in the morning which is a perfect time to go, we had the whole area to ourselves, we really loved it. Please be respectful of the surrounding residents, the trail and garden statues- no littering or destruction of property- help keep it clean and beautiful.

So fun! Beautifully positioned under a busy city bridge, this mythical beast waits half emerges from the ground with an old VW big in his hand and hair over one eye. When you stand on the sun in front of him and perform a full rotation, his purpose is served as he helps you achieve dreams and desires using ancient ethereal wisdom that draws out psychosomatic results. We enjoyed climbing on him, riding electric scooters around his home, and exploring the mini nature trail in his honor. Bonus points when he keeps you dry and warm in a cold rainy day. Highly recommend.

Looked awesome! I loved how they fixed & cleaned it up very nicely! Added stairs going up to the top. Plus they added the Troll Knoll Forest with the Mushroom garden and the butterfly paradise and the giant moss turtle. My grandkids enjoyed the rain water barrel with the watering can so that they can water the plants too. Thank you to whomever fixed it up and made it more pleasurable to visit. I took my son who came up from California to visit me and I felt such pride to see him and his nephew & nieces climb and play in such a beautiful place!

The perfect touristy/ Instagram/ offbeat attraction. Perfect pricing too; free, you just have to get there. The public bus can get you there for around $3 bucks each way. The bus can drop you right off the bridge the troll is under. Simply walk down the hill and under the bridge he hides. If you enjoy this type of city art and you are in the freemont section it's a must do.

Free tourist attraction. For decades we've taken out of towners to the Fremont Troll. It's too quirky not to go! There are stairs now to get up on him. It's still a little dirty but you have to make a visit to the troll, even for good luck! Great stop!

Just a fun quick stop hoping the Troll grants our wishes. Side note... the first street on the right just passed the right hand of the troll will take you out to the bridge so be careful if you if you're still looking to park.

Coffee shop
Storyville Coffee Pike Place is a hidden gem nestled within the bustling Pike Place Market in Seattle. The stylish wood-clad interior, complete with a cozy fireplace, offers a welcoming retreat from the market's chaos. With comfortable seating and window views of the vibrant market below and the scenic Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains, it's an ideal spot to savor artisanal coffee and baked goods.
We visited Storyville Coffee at Pike Place based on reviews, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a warm, modern vibe that made it a perfect spot to relax. The vanilla latte was rich and smooth and the cinnamon roll was delish! The service was friendly and though i appreciated the free mug for first time visitors, i was a little disappointed when.i opened the box as it seemed like a piece the factory would throw away due to it being defective. Not sure if it was just not my lucky day! Overall it was a great escape from the busy market below. I’d absolutely return next time I’m in the area.
Arch S — Google review
You wouldn’t think to wander all the way up to the top floor of the Corner Market Building in Pike Place, but that’s where Storyville is hiding. My cousin, who’s a pilot, insisted we check it out, and right away I was drawn to the vibrant wall of wooden pallets that gives the space so much character. Then I noticed their logo of a boy holding a toy airplane and then it all clicked. This place is built for dreamers and coffee lovers alike. The space itself is gorgeous, warm wood accents, plush leather seating, soft lighting, and big windows that let you look out over the Market and toward the waterfront. It feels cozy yet stylish, almost like a chic airport lounge where you can relax above the chaos below. Perfect spot to sip slowly and just take it all in. We loved the coffee here so much we literally came back four days in a row! Lol. Everything was consistently smooth, rich, and perfectly crafted. On top of that, the pastries are a must! We tried the famous frosted cinnamon roll and the brownie cookie and both were absolutely delicious. Another fun surprise: they were giving away free Storyville mugs if you sign up. I somehow ended up with three altogether… lol, no regrets! But what really makes this place stand out is the staff, super friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. They make you feel welcome right away and keep the vibe relaxed even when it’s busy. Overall, Storyville is the kind of cafe that feels both special and comforting. Definitely worth seeking out if you’re wandering through Pike Place Market.

Storyville Coffee sits above the bustle of Pike Place Market, and walking in feels like discovering a secret hideaway. Tucked on the second floor, the café opens into a warm, modern space filled with soft lighting, big windows, and a soundtrack that makes you want to linger. It’s a welcome pause from the crowds below — quiet, cozy, and designed for comfort. The Coffee The drinks are polished and consistent, with espresso that’s smooth and balanced, lattes that lean creamy without being overly sweet, and brewed coffee that holds its own against Seattle’s best. Pastries round out the menu, and while prices run higher than average, the quality and presentation feel elevated. It’s coffee crafted to be an experience, not just a quick stop. Service & Atmosphere Service is warm and attentive, with staff who treat customers more like guests than transactions. The vibe blends tourist-friendly with local comfort — plenty of lounge seating, couches, and tables, making it just as good for an unhurried chat as for a quick recharge before heading back into the Market. More Details • Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian pastries and light bites are typically available. • Dietary restrictions: Milk alternatives (oat, soy, almond) are offered for espresso drinks. • Parking: Market parking garages and nearby lots are the best bet; limited street parking fills quickly. • Kid-friendliness: Family-friendly space with roomy seating; hot chocolate and simple pastries make it easy for kids. • Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator access from Pike Place Market, spacious seating inside, and accessible restrooms. Final Take Storyville Coffee at Pike Place feels like a retreat above the Market — polished drinks, welcoming service, and an atmosphere built for slowing down. Five stars for creating one of the most relaxing spots in the middle of Seattle’s busiest landmark.

The Best Latte and Cappuccino—Worth the Price! This is hands-down the best place in the area for coffee. While I was initially surprised by the price of the coffee, I quickly realized the quality and flavor are absolutely worth the cost. This shop serves the best latte and cappuccino in the area—the espresso flavor is rich, balanced, and truly excellent. The service was just as stunning as the drinks. The servers are genuinely friendly and attentive; I especially appreciated being provided with water after my coffee was served. As many have mentioned, you must try the cinnamon roll! It makes for the perfect pairing with their coffee. Highly recommended for a premium coffee experience and top-notch service.

Honestly, I didn't find the coffee to be amazing at all, even after I picked up a deal on some of their beans to drink at home. I went here specifically because the vibe looked cozy and warm, and that's exactly what I got. Is it worth a visit? Sure, but I’ve had better coffee. Their cinnamon roll was quite yummy though, and the service was fantastic; just very knowledgeable and kind

Loved the vibe here! The delicious coffee and all of the perks involved far outweigh the costs! As soon as you walk in you can feel the quiet, pleasant, casual, and cool atmosphere that you want at a coffee house. It really contrasts with the hustle and bustle of Pike Place. The staff was one of the friendliest groups of people we encountered. They also give you full glasses of water, which is always appreciated. And pro tip, if you do buy something there, you can get a key to use a private bathroom, which is rare at Pike Place! I didn't try the pastries, but definitely next time!

This is a mixed review. On one hand this has to be one of the coolest coffee shops I've been in. Warm with a mix of wood and steel. Fire place with leather couches and plenty of seating and warm lighting. The vibe is amazing! I could stay here for hours! 5 stars The coffee is also good with homemade syrups and their house made coconut milk. Delicious. 5 stars. Not the oh crap part. The size of the coffee and the price. Almost $30 for two small coffees. This brought down all the good feelings I had walking into this place as I say the bill. You can go downstairs and get a great cup of joe for $6. IMO this is beyond what is reasonable. So reader beware. You are paying for that great cozy environment. Is it worth the price? To me NO. But to you maybe. Do as you will.

Nice atmosphere and great food. I accidentally added sugar without realizing the drink was already sweetened, and when I asked for some water to dilute it, the staff kindly replaced it with a whole new cup instead. They were very attentive as well — when not busy at the counter, they even brought cups of water to all the customers. I haven't experienced this in a long time.

My trusted coworker recommended this spot so I knew the food would be good, and I was not disappointed. Ample petitions, fresh and high quality ingredients and relatively cheap for all the food you get. Order ahead during the week as it was pretty busy during lunch. A must visit!

It was a very busy day due to the club World Cup game that afternoon. The line was long and the indoor space very small with a handful of tables and some outdoor seating. The sandwiches and wings were good. Mine was very dry but tasty. Pastrami was great, wings good but the buffalo wasn’t the best. It’s in a great location.

So we ended up getting there famous Philly cheesesteak with sweet peppers and onions and it was hold on humongous and so good. And the BLT had so much bacon! Old school. Old style but it just tasted so right with the chopped up lettuce and the soft roll. Got some real coke and we were in business! The guy at the counter could not have been more helpful to three hungry tourists and for that I thank him.

Swung by for a sandwich to take on a plane ride home and it did not disappoint. Ingredients were fresh and Tat's way was pretty tasty, though I will say that the flavor profile was quite monotone, as American food tends to be. Cheese, beef, and grilled onions equated to a warm hug on a rainy Seattle day. Would definitely come back to try another sandwich. Keep up the great work!

Best sandwiches in Seattle! Always good, huge selection of hot and cold sandwiches including the best veggie sub I’ve ever had. Serving sizes are so generous and sides are amazing. Their old bay cheese fries are a must have. My family usually gets the cheesesteak Tat’s Way and the Tatstrami.

I actually went to the food truck by the same name as this place - Tat's truck - since I walk by it a good amount on Thursdays. It generally has a line around lunchtime, so I was interested to check it out. I decided to go with the Philly Cheesesteak, or Tat's Philly. I really liked this sandwich. Firstly, it's so easy to get the bread wrong - have it be too chewy, or taste stale. However, this place knocks it out of the park with their bread - it's some of the best sandwich bread I've had. It's lightly crispy on the outside; just enough to maintain a good base and provide light resistance when biting through. The inside is extremely soft and fluffy though, making it an absolute delight. I feel like I could just eat the hoagie roll by itself and love it This sandwich is pretty packed with steak, and that's a great thing. The steak here is very good. It's cut super-thin, and in a lot of tiny little pieces, basically like crumbs. It would've been easy for this to taste like ground beef, but I definitely get that classic steak flavor here. The meat is flavorful - and importantly, avoids being dry at all. I also enjoyed the cheese - I think it was a good amount on there such that it complements the meat, but not so much that it completely takes over the flavor of the sandwich. You feel the steak way more than the cheese in this cheesesteak, and maybe there could have been a little more cheese, but it tasted pretty good regardless I also loved the onions and grilled peppers - the textural contrast provided with these was great, and it was very nice to have these extra flavors in what's otherwise a pretty onenote sandwich For the price of around $15, the portion size here is actually very good. The steak is practically spilling out of the roll, and the roll itself is probably around a foot long. Overall, despite being from a food truck, I thought the sandwich from this spot was very good, and I'd love to try the real place sometime. 8.75/10

Sushi restaurant
Sushi Kashiba is a renowned sushi and omakase restaurant located in Seattle's Pike Place Market. Founded by Shiro Kashiba, who trained under Jiro Ono, the restaurant offers high-end sushi in a chic setting with stunning water views. With its prime location overlooking the iconic market, Sushi Kashiba is celebrated for serving some of the freshest fish available.
My wife and I did the omakase experience here for our anniversary and I highly recommend it. The sushi quality was exceptional, and each dish was prepared with very high quality fish and perfect preparation. The restaurant setting itself is very nice, and offers great views and an upscale atmosphere. It's location is tucked away in a little plaza, so it can be a bit confusing when you're following your phone gps to get there. The chefs were very professional, but it was little loud In the restaurant and the chefs were quiet, so it was a bit hard to hear them when they explained each dish. It's also a fairly formal set up, different from the more informal omakase experiences I'm used to in San Diego. The wait staff was attentive to our needs and knowledgeable of the sake menu.

We highly highly recommend Sushi Kashiba, not only because of their top-notch sushi but also their outstanding outstanding customer service. Sushi Kashiba in our opinion, it’s the best sushi restaurant in the U.S., even better than many in Tokyo (I’m Japanese, so I can say that!). We live on the East Coast, and whenever we visit Seattle, we always go — this time, two nights in a row. Chef Shiro Kashiba, a long-time sushi legend in the U.S., is still very hands-on. One night, he was serving sushi to six customers at the sushi bar, while younger chefs were serving two or four customers. On another night, he was cleaning the table and the floor himself!! He really leads by example. We can see why their sushi and service are so outstanding. The sushi was so good my wife forgot her glasses at the restaurant. She was “sushi high” (we don’t drink, so it wasn’t alcohol!). We realized it the next morning before getting on the airplane. she called Kashiba from NYC. The manager told her the glasses were already on the way — and they even would not to let us pay for shipping cost. That kind of service, on top of world-class sushi, deserves more than 5 stars. Thank you, Kashiba — we can’t wait to come back!

Came alone for an omakase at Sushi Kashiba in Seattle. Omakase during dinner is available at 5pm and 7pm. The portions are huge — the first omakase ever that made me feel completely stuffed. Even without ordering extra, I was already full. 20 pieces of sushi plus a hand roll, tofu, and soup. Overall, the food was very good and matched my expectations for the price ($190 + tax + 20% service charge). Everything in the photos was great except the salmon, the texture felt a bit watery and loose, with little flavor. The course order was interesting — it started with a toro hand roll and ended without any dessert after the tamago. Service pace-wise, everyone at the sushi bar starts at the same time. There were five chefs, each serving about four to five guests, so you don’t have to wait ages between pieces. The overall rhythm makes it a good spot for solo dining — I was there about 80 minutes from start to finish. The chef mainly introduced each ingredient and asked a few polite questions but didn’t chat much. I could text friends in between and the next sushi would arrive — not awkward at all to dine solo at the counter. On the flip side, if you’re coming here for a date or to chat, it might feel a bit fast-paced. The location is super convenient, right next to Pike Place Market. The restaurant has a few ocean-view tables where you can see the market’s big red sign and a bit of Puget Sound behind it (the sushi counter faces away from the view). I didn’t take photos inside as there were other diners, but you can guess the view from photo showing the exterior. As for the total, with a $5 hot tea, it came to $258 all in. Highly recommended that for solo diners.

We had a wonderful omakase experience here, a truly great night! The fish was fresh and flavorful, with our favorites being the Toro, shrimp, and mackerel. The sake paired beautifully with the meal, though we would have loved to enjoy it in a traditional sake cup to make the experience feel even more authentic. Overall, highly recommended for sushi lovers

Came here on a Saturday night at about 7 PM set up the cocktail bar for one and the very professional bartender took my order for some à la cart. Sushi and I ordered about 14 pieces of premium sushi and two bottles of carbonated water and definitely the “nigiri sushi” by the piece was premium and it was delicious and at the end I think the bill ended up to be about $250 including tip so if you’re looking for some sushi in the Pike market area, this is the spot, so give it a shot, but be prepared to pay the premium price…keep up the good work and thank you and Arigato

Absolutely unforgettable omakase experience at the chef’s counter. Every piece was incredibly fresh (even alive just before it was served). and prepared with such skill and care. We felt so lucky to snag a last-minute reservation on OpenTable just two hours before and skip the walk-in line. From start to finish, the service and quality were unmatched.
Anna G — Google review
Omakase was a good value even at $160 at the table (not at the sushi bar) in April. Impeccable service and super unique appetizers that I haven't seen anywhere else. Servers that have tremendous knowledge of the menu and well versed in the flavor profiles offered. Super filling and didn't need to order anything extra although we ended up splitting The NY Times Kashiba's Black Cod which was probably the most disappointing part of the experience. It was good but not really what I would consider excellent or award winning. My recommendation is to stick to the omakase.

Ive never given a 1 star to any restaurant...never in my life disappointed with a high end sushi restaurant. As a born and raised asian who's been to so many sushi places around the world, this place isnt even close to being called a good sushi place. It's probably all about presentation and reputation of the chef here and nothing more on sushi. They are so basic and way over price. Sushi in Texas tastes better than this

Restaurant
Cafe Turko is a family-owned Turkish restaurant located in Seattle, offering a unique dining experience with flavors from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Balkans, and Central Asia. The restaurant serves a variety of vegan-friendly Turkish dishes along with coffee and tea in a quirky setting adorned with colorful umbrellas hanging upside down from the ceiling.
Such a magical environment! If you’ve never tried Turkish food before, this is the perfect place to start. Everything is fresh and absolutely delicious. I ordered the Suleyman the Second dish—it was incredible, especially the Adana kebab paired with a refreshing Ayran drink. I also had the Kunefe dessert with Turkish tea, and it was the perfect sweet finish. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend! Also, they have nice coffee sets 😍

The restaurant is colorful, warm, and spacious. The service is attentive, quick, and helpful. Our Server was so welcoming and happy to recommend her favorites from any section. All of our needs were met and then some. She really added to the lovely experience. The kitchen is incredibly efficient. The food came out at a great pace and it tasted just as delicious as it looked. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful as well. I couldn't recommend Turko Cafe enough. They have a great variety of dishes and flavors. You can bring your meat lovers, vegetarians, and vegan friends with confidence that everyone can find a dish they'll enjoy. I haven't had a chance to truly explore Turkish cuisine and wow, I've been missing out. What a great introduction to a food full of flavors. Also, their baklava is the best I've ever had. I can wait to come back to try more

We were walking by and decided to stop in for some coffee. What a delicious decision. We ended up ordering a Turkish pizza, and the coffee was above our expectations, accompanied by a yummy sweet. The decoration got us right after stepping in, and the staff was very attentive. Another highlight was the cups where our coffee was served, they were beautiful. Everything tasted so good, the experience was really nice and definitively I considered it a must when visiting the area.

Day 3

Off the beaten path
For day 3, if you don’t mind the extra trek, today covers more off the beaten path places like Woodland Park Zoo. Not quite as popular as Space Needle, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 8 hours.

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Nestled in Seattle, Woodland Park Zoo is a sprawling 92-acre wildlife sanctuary established in 1899. It houses over 900 animals from nearly 300 species, some of which are endangered. Visitors can embark on a captivating journey through various exhibits such as the African Savanna, Humboldt Penguins, Tropical Asia, and the seasonal Butterfly Garden. The zoo also hosts temporary exhibits like 'Dinosaur Discovery,' showcasing lifelike dinosaur replicas.
I love this zoo. It's constantly striving to build better exhibits for its animals, and more educational content for the people. It's always clean when I go, and the animals look healthy. If you want to see animals, don't go on bad weather days. There's great variety and beautiful walking paths. I love the extra exhibits they do, like the dinosaur one they had earlier this summer.

Fantastic Day at the Zoo! The zoo was an absolute delight—clean, well-organized, and full of incredible animals. From majestic lions to playful otters, every exhibit was thoughtfully designed and educational. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the interactive areas made it fun for all ages. A perfect mix of entertainment and learning. Highly recommend for families or anyone who loves wildlife!

This was a great experience for my son and his friends. We drove from Vancouver, BC and we're not disappointed. All the animals were out eventhough it was raining. The indoor explore and play area was so different and the interactive play was great for the kids. The dinosaur exhibit was great as well!

This was a fun Zoo. It was pretty big so be prepared to walk. We thought we seen everything but when we left we seen we missed the whole rainforest, haha! There's definitely a lot of animals to see bears, tigers, reptiles, birds, and the lost goes on. We loved seeing the bear in the water up close. My son loved the penguins and sea otters. My favorite was the chimpanzees. They have events throughout the day, there's a sign showing what and the time. So much to see it's hard to list everything. They have an area to buy food and drinks. I didn't buy either so not sure of the prices or items. I seen someone's fries and they looked good and a big pile. They have stroller, wagons, wheelchairs, and other items you can rent. You also have to pay parking. It was easy to get to and easy to buy tickets. This is definitely a fun day trip that we would do again.

Of all my more recent zoo experiences, Woodland Park Zoo is top notch! Love how well cared for the animals appear. Each enclosure seems to have enough space and provides a habitat suitable to each animals needs for a realistic living environment. The grounds are huge! We easily spent over 4 hours visiting each area. I noticed many families having brown bag lunches on the grounds too. Much appreciated to be able to bring your own food/drinks! They were setting up for zoo tunes when we visited so they had the lawn area roped off as they were setting up. The Brown Bear was the highlight! He was so playful when we visited. Excellent family friendly activity and if you don’t have an annual pass, get one!

Much like many other places, you start paying instantly in the parking lot, the gate and of course the food and merch is up there too. I do have to say however, the place was clean and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the exhibits looked well maintained and the animals seemed happy and healthy. It was well mapped out and easy enough to let the kiddos navigate.

We went for the first ever adult day at the zoo. And to tell you the truth it was AMAZING. no strollers hitting your.legs, no screaming kids. Just adults, enjoying the day without kids and looking at the animals. I was amazed at how nice it was. The animals are well cared for. The keepers talked to us and answered questions. I will be back for sure.

City park
Nature & Parks
Historical landmark
Picnic ground
Gas Works Park, located at the north end of Lake Union in Seattle, Washington, is a unique 20-acre park that was once an oil plant. The site was originally a gasification plant in the 1960s but was shut down due to pollution. After being cleaned up and transformed, it now offers picnic facilities and stunning city views. The park features small green hills and a children's playground created from the refurbished gas-producing plant.
This is definitely one of my favorite parks in Seattle, if not my favorite. The view in this park is insane and has an amazing 360 view from the top of the hill. Perfect for both sunrises AND sunsets, no matter how many people are there. The park is so spacious and nobody really bothers each other and people are for the most part spread out which is super nice. The way that you can see the whole city is just absolutely perfect and the Canadian goose are so fun to watch as well. There’s a lot right now because of the season, only thing I didn’t like were the strange large bugs that kept on flying onto me but that wasn’t even that big of a deal. Once again, such a solid place to go to for any occasion!

Yesterday, I was looking at the lake from the other side, right on the fourth-floor lounge in the Google office in South Lake Union. Today, I was looking at the lake from Gasworks Park. It was very beautiful, even though the weather wasn't good.It was kind of cloudy today. There is a small hill where you can climb up the hill and look at the skyline of the Seattle downtown area, including the sounds like Union. You can see the Seattle Space Needle from this side of the lake. The city view is amazing. There are many people walking their dogs, and some morning joggers are jogging alongside the lake. There is a gas park structure. It looks rusted, which is classic. I took a photo of it, but it was surrounded by fences, so I couldn't get too close.. There are people sitting on the grass, taking videos and reading books. They look relaxed. And there is also a playground.

We took a ride to this park to check it out. It was very fascinating to learn of the history of the park before,during and after the gas company. I loved the history and how they preserved the old, simple, yet complex structures. Lots of green space and walking paths. Plenty of places to picnic or have celebrations. Definitely should be a site to see if visiting Seattle.

This park is a perfect blend of industrial history and natural beauty. The old gas plant structures make for captivating, nice photo backdrops, especially at sunset. The open lawns are great for picnics, flying kites, or just lounging with a view of Lake Union and the Seattle skyline. If you're looking for a walk with character or a unique stop in the city, this place is an awesome spot 👌

We visited on a weekday, and parking was both convenient and free. It’s a great place for the whole family. The grassy area by the water is perfect for a picnic, with views of migratory birds, passing boats, and people enjoying SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). The park is spacious and even has a playground for kids. My family and I had a wonderful afternoon here.

Former industrial site turned into public park is a great area for getting some urban exploration vibes. Unfortunately one of the main areas is completely fenced off due to a lawsuit against the city, however, there is a covered area with lots of industrial equipment you can climb on and explore. There is an uncovered park area for younger children provided. Great views of the Seattle skyline.

While in the area I met up with one of my previous bosses and he suggested checking out this Park. The view was amazing, we had seen it from the water while on the locks cruise but it was a beautiful view and little park. There was a playground, walking trails, a beachy area, you can access the water and there's alot of stone seating. There are hundreds of geese and alot of families with kids. This is a really nice recreational area and a pretty cool site.

Green Lake Park, located around five miles north of downtown Seattle, is a popular outdoor retreat that has been cherished by locals and tourists since the early 1900s. The park offers a three-mile path around the lake that is always bustling with people walking, cycling, and rollerblading. It also features sports fields, tennis courts, baseball fields, an indoor pool, and two designated swimming areas with lifeguards during summer.
Really great park. Well maintained. Water is clean. You can swim, boat, kayak here. Or just relax on the grass. Good for juggling or running. It also has a small children pool and a jumping platform!

Went on my birthday to North Green lake Had a vodu doughnut and my son and golden retriever. It was a beautiful day sunny out and we found two chairs and a small table right next to the lake and boathouse and coffee shop. We also found parking right next to the lake A blessing from.God. it was so nice. People walking their dogs, jogging, older people young kids and babies in strollers. We stayed about 45 minutes as I had another appointment for my Birthday 🎈.next time we go we are bringing a towel and letting our dog run off the dock and jump in the water. He loves the water and retrieving. I can't wait to go back to Green lake. It's one of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen. There's also a beach on the other side of the lake my son told me.. so much grass and tress and paths for walking or running.. an enjoyable time for everyone!!

Green Lake is one of my favorite spots in Seattle. The view of the lake is beautiful, specially in a sunny day, but it has its own unique beauty in every season of the year. There is a playground, community center with a play room, a wading pool (in summer) for kids. There is a ton of activities you can do: walking, running, biking, kayaking, playing pickle ball, fishing… even just sitting and enjoying the view, seeing the geese and ducks. It’s so relaxing! Only think would make it better is having a bigger parking lot, but there are plenty streets where you can find a spot to park your car.

Great park for a 3-mile walk. Parking can be a challenge—every time I’ve visited, I’ve had to wait at least 10 minutes to find a spot. Also, there’s a lot of goose droppings along the trail. On the bright side, there are at least four restrooms conveniently located throughout the park.

Windy City Pie

Pizza restaurant
Windy City Pie is a relaxed eatery that specializes in Chicago-style deep-dish pizza and features a digestif-focused bar. The restaurant takes pride in using new ingredients and techniques while still honoring traditional pizza making methods. They offer a unique blend of traditional, pan, and stuffed pizzas found throughout Chicago. Windy City Pie grinds their own sausages, pickles their sweet hot peppers, and serves delicious pizza along with salads and homemade garlic brioche.
We got a breezy style pie (a delicious mash up of Chicago style and Detroit style), a beet salad, a couple beers for about $70. We left satisfied and had a slice of pizza leftover. Service charge and tip is built into their price. The beet salad had great flavors and textures and was well balanced. The pizza was phenomenal. Plenty of toppings, crispy and stringy cheese, good flavors. Right amount of sauce. Will definitely be back!

The tavern style pizza here was excellent! And that's from a life long Midwesterner and tavern pizza connoisseur. The drinks were also quite good. The service was incredible. They really went above and beyond to help us out while we went to the zoo nearby. The deep dish looked fantastic (just not my thing, but if you're into it at all, I would definitely try!)
Angela J — Google review
Finally made it to Windy City Pie for Sweet Pete pizza and I’m honestly kicking myself for not coming sooner. Been eyeing this place forever and now that we’ve been… yeah, it lives up to the hype. We ordered the Chicago-style deep dish (yep, the one everyone talks about), fully knowing both the raves and the complaints. Let’s start with the good stuff— The flavor? Unreal. People weren’t lying. Every bite was rich, savory, and totally worth the food coma. The service? Warm, welcoming, no eye-rolls, no fuss. Just good vibes. Also, gratuity is already baked into the price, so no awkward tipping games for mediocre service—it’s all handled, and they earn it. Now for the "negative" people keep mentioning—besides parking: Yeah, the bread is thick. Like, thicc-thick. If you're expecting that cheesy, gooey, meat avalanche type of deep dish, this one leans more toward a hearty bread base with the toppings riding on top. We knew that going in, so no complaints from us. If you want less bread and more melt, they’ve got the Breezy-style pizza (limited time thing), but we were cool with the classic. All in all, it’s a 4.5-star for me if I'm being strict. Flavor's amazing, service is top-tier, and yeah, thick bread’s a whole situation—but it’s their thing and they do it well. We can't wait to try more from them!!!

Amazing pizza! This is one of my favorite pizza places in Seattle. They do Chicago style deep dish, Detroit thin crust and even one on sourdough. I also appreciated their pizza boxes to go with instructions on how to reheat. We got the Fennel Destination, Tuscany Raider and a thin crust with bacon.

If you want a delicious, authentic, Chicago style deep dish pizza, look no further. Having lived in the Midwest for many years myself, I can say that Windy City Pie is 1000% true to what makes a delicious deep dish pizza. The crust is buttery, crispy, but also fluffy and chewable. It has that perfect pizza satisfying snap, that melts into a delicious buttery flavor. The sauce is a fantastic balance of acidic and tomato-y, with sweet and flavorful. The cheese is gooey and delicious, without being overbearing or overwhelming. (Personal pet peeve of mine is pizza places that just drown the pizza in cheese, to make up for bad crust or sauce). We got the limited edition Whipped Ricotta pie, and the lemony zesty savory whipped ricotta was to die for. My only schtick would be the wait time, but good things comes to those who are patient. Even with empty tables, still took about 15-20 minutes for the pie to come out. Could not even imagine a packed Friday night. Their website says to order ahead, which is a brilliant and creative idea. Our server was extremely friendly, and an absolute gem. Restaurant is very quaint, with old school wood Italian vibes. Parking is rough, but it's Seattle. Park far and walk, or park further and uber. 10/10 would go again.

My favorite pizza place. Their pies are delicious! The crust is sooo yummy. I always order takeout for my birthday dinner even though it’s an hour drive to get there. My three year old loved the Toddler slice and I usually get whatever the seasonal special is. Today, it had whipped lemon ricotta. The lemon, basil, and tomato sauce were extra tasty all together. Forgot to snap a pic before digging in - the smell on the drive home was torture enough! Long live Windy City Pie!

This place has become a bi-monthly craving for myself and my girlfriend. We occasionally get the deep dish (which is awesome) but I think the real hidden gem star of the show is the tavern style thin crust. They literally do it perfectly and cut in squares too!

Asian fusion restaurant
Joule is a Korean-fusion steakhouse located in the Fremont neighborhood, offering a unique blend of Asian-Northwest cuisine. The chic and airy space provides a warm and friendly atmosphere for foodies and cocktail enthusiasts. Their inventive menu features dishes like Kombu cured mackerel, spicy rice cake with chorizo, and prime bavette steak with truffled pine nut and artichoke.
We were visiting some friends in Seattle and they recommended eating at Joule. We had 4 couples eating and we all loved the experience. Our server took excellent care of us. She gave us great recommendations. The best recommendation was that she told us it was a good idea to order a lot of different things off of the menu and to share. This way we could all get a chance to try everything. I was so glad thinks what we did. We didn't order everything off of the menu but we were pretty close. Our favorites of the starters were the spicy rice cake, kimchi trio and the black garlic noodles. My favorite entree was the short rib closely followed by the NY strip. We also enjoyed the octopus. Our least favorite was the mackerel. It had good flavor but is a very strong fish. We recommend going with friends and trying as much as you can.

While in Seattle I was looking for Asian Fusion and for a place not by the tourist area, found this place. Cool cozy atmosphere, not very large, so make a reservation. Service was great, our waiter was very helpful and on top of it. We had their onion Chinese pancake, which was very good, followed by their scallop fried rice. The fried rice was our favorite fried rice we have ever had. We then had their version of Kalbi Korean beef which was also very good. Finished it with their grilled octopus, great flavor but was a bit chewy. Beware of the 22% service charge automatically added to the bill (only 2 in our party). This was not optional, that’s my only major complaint for this restaurant. Next time I’m back in Seattle I will visit again.

The food reminded me of the "Golden" song by demon hunters, the quality of the dishes only went up, up, up. The crispy lettuce with chili oil of the chicory mango salad stimulated our appetite, making it the perfect starting dish. We had a couple of non alcoholic cocktails, flavours were balanced and even got a leechee on it. The spicy rice cake flavors were delicious, rice cakes were slightly toasted given them a crunchy texture. The palm heart dish has more of a earthy flavor. The palm retains the heat, it was a pleasant surprise. The star of the night "that sort rib steak", the meat was cooked perfectly, with a beautiful searing and a juicy light pink color inviting to chew it. The sauce is not my cup of tea, but it didn't stop us from enjoying an unique experience. Definitely I will be back.

We even got a free scallion pancake and dessert. Drinks were strong and so yummy. Ordered the scallop fried rice, octopus, and short rib. Scallop fried rice was 10/10.

Jeoul shares the hallway with another restaurant, it must be common that people make mistakes going to the wrong restaurant. With a reservation, we got seated right away. Service was great, no complaints, even though 22% service charge is automatically added to the bill, no matter the size of your party. The foods overall were pretty good in terms of texture, but most were on the salty side (even the desert has some sort of salt flakes in it).

Walked in on a Monday night with a friend—no tables but full service bar seating was available. Loved the scallion pancake—crème fraiche and chili crisp made it the best first bite of the meal. The “For You I Will” cocktail was dominated by the whiskey, but our bartender brought us tastes of the celery and “alpine” bitters that are ingredients, what a fun experience to sample! Innovative throughout the menu, would recommend.

i felt like the dishes werent amazing. the mango salad was a bit bitter for some reason. Scallion pancakes was pretty meh, just crispy -- no flakes, essentially no flavor -- the platter of garnishes were pretty laughable lol 4 pieces of parsley/cilantro and some chili oil that had 0 flavor on creme fraiche. The mussels were alright -- great sauce. Octopus was salty, redeemer was yet again the sauce. It's one of those really pretty, ambient places that you dont come to actually eat 🤷🏻‍♀️

Beer garden
Fremont Brewing's Urban Beer Garden is a family-friendly microbrewery located in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood. Established in 2008, the brewery prides itself on using the finest local ingredients to craft small-batch artisan beers. The beer garden features long communal tables both indoors and outdoors, making it a perfect spot for enjoying their seasonal ales along with complimentary pretzels.
Open Air & Great Vibes! I recently celebrated with friends at Fremont Brewing's Urban Beer Garden and it’s a fantastic spot! The first thing you notice is how incredibly open and airy it feels, especially with that huge outdoor seating area. It’s genuinely a breath of fresh air and has a wonderfully upbeat vibe – perfect for any gathering. Even though I don't drink beer, I still had a great time! Their cold brew coffee on tap was absolutely delicious – smooth, rich, and a perfect option for enjoying the amazing atmosphere. Fremont Brewing's Urban Beer Garden truly excels at creating an inclusive, spacious, and lively environment for everyone. Highly recommend checking it out!

Fremont Brewery is the definition of a chill spot to grab a cold brew in Seattle. Located in Fremont/Northlake area, the brewery nails the classic "brewery vibe" — spacious and relaxing. It was my first time visiting and the space offers both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it a great choice no matter what kind of atmosphere you're after. I visited on a Tuesday, and by the time I arrived, there was plenty of seating available. But it didn’t take long before the outdoor patio started to fill up. If you want to snag a spot in the sun, plan ahead — or find an open seat at a table and make some new friends! The beer itself was good. Fremont's brews are smooth, flavorful, and hits the spot. Whether you're into hoppy IPAs or something a bit more mellow, there’s definitely something for everyone. Also, don’t forget to snag some pretzels to nibble on while you drink. The staff was the friendly and helpful. Everyone was welcoming and seemed genuinely happy to help, which made the experience that much better. Overall— this is definitely a spot I’ll be returning to, whether it's for a weekday afternoon beer grab or a weekend hangout with friends. Solid beer, a relaxed vibe, and a great crew — can’t ask for much more.

Finally made it here after years of looking forward to going once I made a trip to Seattle. And it met my lofty expectations. An expansive space inside and out with a large draft list, plenty of beer to carry out, lots of swag, and a food vendor. A bit disappointed that they didn’t have any special releases available but their staples are good enough and they had a few unique offerings like an Italian Pilsner. Patio is an actual beer garden with shared tables and lots of vegetation. Quite pleasant even on a hot day. Worth the trek and will return any time I’m in Seattle!

Liz was very professional and helpful during our visit! She made it a point to help all the customers during the rush with a smile and thankful gratitude. She’s a superstar on your staff and a role model for other employees at Fremont. Thank you, Liz, for treating us so well and making our experience so memorable. The beers were super delicious! We especially liked the Dark Star on nitro. It was especially smooth, creamy and tasty.

Ah, there's goodness a foot and it comes in the form of a tap. Fremont Brewing welcomes all to their festive beer garden, and their liquid courage in the form of hop laced excellence. The enviroment is classic beer garden with that Seattle twist, picnic benches, flora, and food trucks. Yes, you must pair your drink with some edible sustenance, not required but I suggest it. It's a casual affair, so bring a friend or two or three, find some seating, and kick back and relax, good times await. That inner child you've been seeking to discover has just been tapped. It's deliciously good.

Really awesome spot right off the lake in Fremont. I don’t even drink beer anymore but the environment was amazing, smash burger food truck was unreal, and their NA options were incredible. All around a really great place.

Brewery: Fremont Brewing City: Fremont Seattle WA Brewed on premise: No, in Ballard Number of house beer taps: 18 Guest Beer: No Bar seating: 0 Table seating: Yes Patio: No Beer garden: Yes !!! A beautiful oasis. Food: Yes Food Trucks: Ues Dogs Allowed: Yes Televisions: 0 Beer to go: Yes Liquor: No Wine: No Tony: You Bet Why would I come back: ​ Fremont Brewing is not just an amazing brewery; it's Seattle's beer cultural landmark and an influencer and motivator of the American craft beer scene. Its national influence is driven by iconic beers, from near perfect Hazy IPAs like Lush to the world-class, sought-after barrel-aged stouts of its legendary series. Fremont doesn't just make beer, they welcome patrons to its sprawling Urban Tap Room and Beer Garden, a vibrant, year-round space where locals, tourists, and their dogs gather over shared tables and complimentary pretzels. ​The tap list itself is a masterclass in variety and quality. Alongside its beloved flagships, you'll always find an incredible selection of brewery-exclusive seasonals and rare, and even award winning Non-alcoholic creations that back their global reputation. Combining extraordinary brewing with a true sense of community, Fremont Brewing is a must stop in for any beer lover. ​ @brewersassoc @homebrewassoc @touchdownbrewery #ParkerPose #BeerLife #BeerLove .

Not only do I love their beer (I had the Surfer Session and it was great) but this place and their staff are the best. They had a food truck outside too which was awesome and Hannah was amazing. Thanks for the water bottle again! I appreciate it! 😁

Red Mill Burgers

Red Mill Burgers is a classic fast food eatery known for its old-school burgers, fries, and shakes. But it's not just about the burgers - their Totem House location offers hand-cut wild Alaskan cod fish & chips with their famous tartar sauce, all while enjoying prime real estate across the Ballard Locks. Established in the 1930s and revived in the 1990s, this iconic Seattle burger joint has been winning awards ever since.
Sam did a great job handling my order since it was my first trip there. I LOVE the deluxe burger and the food here is much better than In-N-Out Burger.
Don L — Google review
Red Mill is undeniably a Seattle staple, but I have to admit—it’s not my **go-to** burger spot. The weekend crowds guarantee a long wait, so we killed some time with a drink next door. When our food finally arrived, the **burger was a mixed bag**. The bread? **Dry and tough**, which was a letdown. Thankfully, the cheese and bacon **did some heavy lifting**, making the overall bite more enjoyable. While the price is reasonable for what you get, I’d argue there are better burgers out there. Now, let’s talk **fries**. Perfectly crispy, beautifully cooked! Dip those fries into their signature tartar sauce and you’re all set!

Disappointed. The burger patty (pictured) was one of the thinnest I’ve eaten and yet it was raw in the middle and all the way around. I’ve had much better experiences at this location but the quality seems to have gone down significantly. It wasn’t busy at all (no line and very few ppl in the restaurant) so I’m surprised in the lack of service. The staff was polite and refunded my money but considering the potential threat of food borne illness that can occur when eating raw meat (esp ground beef) I probably won’t be back. Managers please continually educate your staff on proper food handling and cooking standards so that we, the public, don’t get sick! Nobody wants or deserves that.

This waz the best cheeseburger I've ever had in nearly 50 years on Earth. Wow I can't say enough about this establishment!! I'd never heard of this place seen it while riding past on a bus. If you are visiting Seattle you have to stop by and try this place out 🌟

You want an Amazing Burger at the price of fast food? Red Mill Burgers! Everything is hand made and Made to order just like you would do at home but better... Ordered the Double Bacon Deluxe with Cheese.. Eat half... And you have enough for another meal... Onion Rings are hand dipped....and perfect.
Chad H — Google review
Red Mill Burgers is always a dependable go-to spot when you’re craving a classic, perfectly made burger. This place has earned its reputation for good reason — the burgers are consistently excellent, made with juicy, flavorful patties that taste fresh off the grill. Every bite has that perfect balance of smoky, savory beef and fresh toppings. The lettuce and tomatoes are always crisp, the cheese is perfectly melted, and the signature sauce ties everything together with just the right amount of tang. The fries deserve their own shout-out — they’re some of the best around. Golden, crispy, and never greasy, they’re the ideal sidekick to any burger on the menu. You can tell they care about quality here; everything tastes freshly prepared, never rushed. Service is another strong point. Even during a busy lunch rush, the guy at the register greeted everyone with a smile, took orders efficiently, and kept the line moving with calm professionalism. It’s the kind of friendly, hometown service that makes you want to come back again and again. Whether you’re grabbing lunch with friends, picking up a quick dinner, or just treating yourself to some comfort food, Red Mill Burgers never disappoints. Great food, great people, and a Seattle favorite that continues to live up to the hype — every single time.

Best burger in Seattle hands down. Always consistent. If you order a side of bacon they give you a generous amount of perfectly crispy bacon. Their onion rings are also THE BEST. I’m not an onion ring girl usually but would cross rivers for their onion rings and ranch. I usually online order takeout with them as it’s kinda small and gets busy and crowded inside, but it’s nice they are right next door to the brewery and share the patio!

Red Mill is a Seattle institution for a reason. I got the Double Bacon Deluxe with cheese, and it was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and loaded with smoky bacon. But the REAL star? The onion rings! They are crispy, massive, and worth the visit alone. Add a shake to that, and you've got the perfect meal. Don't be scared by the line; it moves fast, and the staff is always friendly. A must-visit for anyone in Seattle looking for an amazing burger. 🍔
