“We had an above and beyond experience at Il Nido. They have a parking lot which makes the transition there so much easier. We went a little hard, and got the focaccia, 2 pastas, the ribeye, polenta and olive oil cake. Every single dish was divine! Our waitress recommended the truffle butter with bread, and bone marrow butter on the ribeye. She also recommended having the polenta come out with the ribeye. She was so right! The interior of the restaurant is darling the service was incredible! This is our new favorite spot!”
“This is one of Seattle’s best Italian restaurants. You won’t be disappointed.”
“This is one of the best places to eat. The owner is wonderful and the staff as well. The food is awesome! We love to go here and will continue to!”
“The atmosphere is superb! I love the heathy option. Remember your input matters. You cannot expect same output (outcome) when you are putting bad inputs. Self-care by eating healthy food option. This is a place for those who take their body seriously. The staffs tend to be busy but it is worth the wait. I can see that they really do care about the food and its service. Btw I even saw @spencerhawes NBA player order here. Which means foods are good here. Sport players know what tastes good! Come and taste!”
“Your food and drinks are amazing! Had a burger with a BUN for the first time in a VERY long time! I'd pretty much given up on gluten free buns. The peach sour and the beer was delish! Felt so good to know I could eat anything on the menu and not worry about any cross contamination!”

“tibs and vegan including doro wote”
“Great hot dogs and hamburgers! Will definitely put this place in the rotation.”
“Absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, great atmosphere and music! Definitely have to check out everything on the walls. Their burgers are amazing and their Mac & Cheese is to die for.”
“Great service. Food was delicious. We had the Buffalo and Honey Garlic flavor wings. They both were delicious. Generous crinkle fries and delicious pineapple mango lemonade. We were excited to find a late night spot with delicious food. Definitely a great find. And great service.”
“Absolutely charming little spot serving fresh, perfectly seasoned dishes that are sure to please. Excellent and knowledgeable staff can make recommendations from the ever-changing menu based on your tastes, and it's easy to have almost any dish modified to be vegetarian or vegan. Perusing the tasting notes on the wine wall is a nice way to pass the time - great prices on the take-home bottles. If you're on a budget (and I usually am), grab a snack or two. Otherwise, try a little of everything!”
“This was the best dining experience EVER!! The chef and cook staff are amazing. It’s a small kitchen but what they create together is wicked good. No words are had to describe!! If you can get in, do yourself a favor and go💜”

“I ordered one of each of the tacos. Very good! I’ll go against the grain and say they were a tiny bit disappointing…kind of dry and the fixin’s bar a bit too skimpy to doctor them (pickled onions would have come in handy). However I am only comparing it to my beloved por siempre in CDMX. This is as good as Seattle gets. Very good lunch spot, and certainly the best option in the area. Horchata was outstanding. Autotip starts goes 18-25% without table service.”
“I was in town for a special event, I haven't been here before and was amazed with every aspect of my experience. our server Charles was utterly fabulous. he was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and prompt. he made it feel like we were old friends. the steaks were perfectly cooked. I am 4 and 1/2 years sober, and to go out and enjoy an exquisite meal and only drink water can be a drag, but you all had an amazing selection of mocktails, my partners and I enjoyed immensely. I took the time to thank Charles for everything and got to meet Justin, letting him know how wonderful everything was. this will definitely be a regular stop anytime I visit.”
“After having been to Driftwood twelve times I can confidently say it’s the only restaurant in Seattle worth dining at. Lots of places make claims about freshness and local ingredients, but chef Dan Mallahan shops at the Farmers Market two days a week. It’s not a joke or a gimmick. If you want to eat food grown exclusively in Washington State, that tastes real, then Driftwood is the spot. They serve tomatoes that actually have flavor, delicious veggie dishes, and meat and fish that are tender and juicy. They combine so many flavors in a subtle harmony making each bite you take delightful. Not to mention the killer cocktails. The vibe is beautiful but chill. The staff are lovely and kind. Everything about Driftwood is real. The food, the people, even the hand towels in the bathroom. Concerned about prices at a farm-to-table restaurant and getting enough to eat? Go with a friend and share two starters and a main. For example, I just had the Olsen Farm Kennebec JoJos, the Piece by Piece Farm Tempura Delicata squash, and the Butcher’s Cut Pork Chop. Yum!”

“I brought a friend with me from out of town to visit this cat cafe- neither of us had been before. The staff were very kind and it was clear how much love is put in to the care and well being of the kitties. I’d recommend coming here, they have cute stickers and cat toys and other merch as well! Bring a few friends, I think the experience would be best with a slightly bigger group of friends (maybe 4-5) just so you have more people you know in the room with you (meaning, fewer strangers in the room) since they do cap the number of people that can be in the room at a time (for the kitties safety and wellbeing!).
Parking: May be difficult to find a spot really close, will likely have to park a couple blocks out on the street. Parking was cheap, about 5$ for just over an hour. It wasn’t TERRIBLE, but give yourself some extra time and grace to find a spot.”

“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice). The executive chef, chef Ryo, has worked in many renowned restaurant including Michelin star sushi restaurant “Sushi Sho”. Before joining this new restaurant “Ltd Edition Sushi” in capitol hill, he worked side by side with chef Nakazawa-an icon of edomae style in Japan, at both Sushi Sho Tokyo and Sushi Sho Honolulu. The sushi omakase box and kids fish bowl are both very sophisticated, the curing and aging techniques brings out the deep complex flavor of each fish and gives each fish this extra tender texture, the taste profile as such is hard to find here in Seattle. Chef sake flight ( we tried Haneya Junmai Ginjo and Hidakami Junmai today), one is floral and one on the dry side, pair with his sushi very well. Sushi is in a very elegant wooden box and everything you will need for the experience including a separate soy sauce dipping dish is prepared for the guest. This is, truly, a perfect omakase takeout experience. 💕💕😋”
“Lovely place. The food was okay but not spectacular. We had several dishes. Some were better than others. I love the octopus!. The dates were good, however they should have put the feta inside the dates as well because otherwise they were a little too sweet. Would return because they do change the menu all the time.”
“We had an amazing dinner at a specialty pizza restaurant in Seattle named Sunny Hill. It’s a little hole in the wall that has the best Pizza and appetizers in Washington. If you’re ever in the area, make sure to check it out. It was so good to be with the family and finish up some details for today’s big event.”

“Shhhhh Seattle its the Best 2am Fried Chicken.
When you have a secret place to get 'better than KFC' chicken, open 24 hours, you kinda don't wanna post or tell anyone. Took me 5+ years to share this. I just tell everyone go to Ezells or Heaven Sent but they won't be open 24 hrs. I'll be hitting the 🐚 late night. Crunk Fried Chicken, yep.”
“Brand new cafeteria in the new Behavioral Health building also includes a great outside sitting area. I love their food. Their main menu food is great and like home made. They have a grill with burgers and fries and a daily special by chef Anthony, his food is amazing.”
“Ba ya nana milk shakes. I repeat ! ! 💛 B. A. N. A. N. A. M. I. L. K. 💛 S. H. A. K. E. S. 💛 ! ! ! The best thing life can offer. Milk shakes are always Tall, COLD, creamy, and you can tell they use a premium syrup. Not to mention a real quality ice cream. Love! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛”
“Best Starbucks drive thru I have been to. We arrived back late from Puerto Vallarta. Got a coffee so I could safely make the drive back. Not only grateful for the 24 hour service but they were extremely fast and had amazing customer service for it being so late. Always nice to go to an establishment where you feel appreciated as a customer. They made the coffee exceptionally as well as the treats. Highly recommend this location.”
“Sat for 25 minutes without any server acknowledging (giving a menu, smiling, nothing) our table of 5 right in the middle of the bar. Very rude and could have been a very nice tip. Also, if you waited at the bar for a drink the bartender told you to take a seat at a table and wait for a server...ha! Ya right!”

“Authentic, fresh, and entirely delicious. The homemade cannelloni pasta noodles and filling were absolute perfection! Fantastic marinara! And the pizza… amazing. So much for leftovers! And I haven’t even mentioned the kindness of all of the staff. Can’t wait to come back to this gem!”

“Nothing but love for a local chicken joint with nothing but love for me and mine. ❤️ fantastic atmosphere, good music, good food! Try the honey butter biscuit fried chicken sandwich, with some hot sauce, your soul will thank you. Much love to all of the staff there, y'all have saved my behind and fed my soul, more than I care to admit.”
“So creative, fresh, and delicious! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. I’ve been here since they opened, and their menu is always changing as they refine their dishes and grow. The owner is also really nice.
Everything here is tasty, but my favorite is their signature dish, Pak Mor Yuan, which is very similar to Vietnamese bánh cuốn. I saw a reel of them making it fresh and it is no wonder that it is so tasty.
I also like Guay Tiew Lohd, which uses similar rice noodles/paper.”
“I don't have great pictures of it but this banh mi is packed! It might costs a little more than the delis in Little Saigon. But it's easily more filling and a better quality. I got the classic with the deli cold cuts, pate, veggies, and pork floss. How neat. Never had pork floss with them before. Not sure if there was cilantro but definitely would have enjoyed it.
I couldn't finish it in one sitting and ate half before work. And the other half at work.
Would definitely come here again.”

“If I lived in Seattle def would be my go to restaurant. Amazing service and incredible food. Highly recommend the Dutch Baby. Salmon Salad Sandwich and French Onion Soup! Do you deliver to Ohio?? 😁”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about this place! It was recommended to me from a co- worker back at home. The attention to detail throughout was incredible.
The only negative comment would have is that when I ordered the El Gury the robe on the drink was a little dirty. While drink and presentation were a hit. Knowing my drink was wrapped in a stained koozie was a little meh. 🫤 I’m sure this gets used a lot. It didn’t take away from the experience. Just something I noted.
We will definitely come back. We LOVED it.”

“Beautiful day to side outside. Great pizza overall with awesome toppings, decent crust. Standout was the koobideh. Absolutely fantastic and that parsley salad was so fresh! Grilled tomato was so tasty. Beef and lamb gyro plate was amazing too. I can’t wait to eat that koobideh again!”
“We used Buddha Brudda catering for our wedding at Treehouse Point in July 2025. Not only were Drea and the entire team incredibly easy to work with leading up to the day, but the food was FANTASTIC, and the whole dinner service and bartending staff were so kind and accommodating the day of.
We worked with Drea to customize a menu that fit our needs, which included family-style service instead of buffet, which worked beautifully for our small group of 20 guests. We also opted for pre-dinner appetizers (charcuterie cones, egg rolls, etc) and late-night snacks (sliders, mac salad cups) for our overnight guests, which everyone LOVED!!
Keep in mind they do not do linens, plates/cutlery (beyond bamboo/plastic) or glassware, but were extremely accommodating by picking up/dropping off our rental order from a nearby events company. It was a HUGE help and one less thing for us to arrange.
Our guests absolutely loved the food - all of the appetizers, dinner, late night snacks, and on-the-fly sangria the bartender made with wine/tea/lemonade was fantastic.
I highly recommend Buddha Brudda for your catering needs if you want a relaxed, yummy, yet elegant dining experience!”

“Everything!! Well maybe not the licor de hierbas. I’m gallega, A Coruña, and I went to try it out anticipating it was not going to be good or authentic. I have to admit I was very wrong, I loved it! Highly recommend it and surely be back. Thank you Pilar for giving me the flavors of my childhood!”
“Noir show on Feb 16 was by far one of the best shows I’ve been to! The entertainment was amazing and the food and drinks were spot on! Definitely will be back!!”

“Sushi Kashiba will provide you a memorable meal with the freshest fish. The chef are amazing of selecting and preparing amazing nigri sushi with wonderful hot dishes for your enjoyment. The omakasa is a must while a nice glass of sake or wine will pair well with your meal. Highly recommend and will be going back”
“I’ve had one of the best fine dining experiences in Seattle here at Copine, even better than Canlis.
Seattle cuts loose to a lot of fine dining experiences, especially a lot of the restaurants here do not pay attention to detail, or service usually comes subpar. I would say Copine really focuses on the basics of making an experience for you, so it becomes a meaningful experience.
First and foremost, they have a great understanding of French cuisine. Everything tastes very delicate and well thought out. I definitely loved the steak and their meat dishes. I think the chef has way better understanding of cooking meat rather than seafood, so as someone who loves meat, this was an enjoyable meal.
How can I forget about their service! Their staff was thoroughly trained and very knowledgeable. I really loved all the wine pairings and hearing the thoughts behind. Service was above and beyond, and everyone was so kind to make my birthday dinner something special.
There are 2 fine dining restaurants I would recommend from now on: Copine and Cafe Juanita.”
“Service is ON POINT !!!! Food is amazing and our waitress is amazing ! We had to bring our little one last min because child care wasn’t available. But they kindly accommodate my little one and gave her some cooked sushi !!! We really appreciate it ! We definitely will come back for a different menu because their menu changes every month ! I recommend anyone coming over to try it if they want an authentic Japanese meal in Seattle !!!”
“The food was very good, and my wife would highly recommend the Filet Mignon as it was superb. It was, however, the service that will cause us to return and bring friends. Matt took care of us for this visit and was pleasant, engaging, interested, and attentive to both the occasion and our every need. We dine out regularly and often find the service is very good, but rarely exceptional. We would visit almost any diner if Matt were responsible for caring for us, and for that reason alone, we'll return soon.”
“❤️🔥🍣🐟❤️🔥My husband and I are sushi lovers through and through, definitely team seafood over meat!
Our omakase experience at Suzuki was absolutely incredible. Of course, the food was amazing, but what made it truly special was the entire experience, from the service to the atmosphere.
Everyone who served us, including the chefs, was so kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be there. You could really feel the positive energy and strong bond among the staff, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.
Each dish was beautifully presented and came with thoughtful explanations, adding so much depth to the meal. It was a feast not just for the taste buds, but also for the eyes and ears. The ambiance was simply perfect.
Without a doubt, it was the best birthday dinner I’ve ever had.
Thank you😍❣️❣️”
“Wow I visited this place for my bday to do something unique for my 40th and it was just what a wanted and more. I felt special for my day ! Didnt have to think about the menu because everything was good even the bartenders choice drinks ! The staff was professional and friendly spoke spoken . I think they only seat 8 at a time so it’s pretty intimate and comfortable.”
“Chef is nice and friendly. Sushi-wise I was hoping for something more, it started really well and 4 nigiri are high lights and impressed me, the yozi scallop one brings you right into summer, and the one wrapped in clear Hokkaido seaweed feels like a fresh bite of ocean, apple wood smoked salmon has the perfect balance of smokiness. Oysters nigiri is really fresh and well done.
However, it didn’t go uphill as omakase usually do where next nigiri tastes even better, towards the second half of course some nigiri feels unbalanced, or even too salty because of overpowering source, hand roll is one of them.. desert didn’t wow me unfortunately.
Overall good experience but I was really hoping it could be beyond just good.”
“One of the few truly tasty places in Seattle. The smell first caught my attention, and the food did not disappoint when I went in. It is a spicy flavor explosion. With this right next to my light rail stop, I worry I will soon be broke and fat.”
“Sushi Kashiba will provide you a memorable meal with the freshest fish. The chef are amazing of selecting and preparing amazing nigri sushi with wonderful hot dishes for your enjoyment. The omakasa is a must while a nice glass of sake or wine will pair well with your meal. Highly recommend and will be going back”
Cheap Eats
“I can confidently say this is not only the best burger in Seattle but the best burger I’ve ever had. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming and their food lives up to every expectation and more. The food comes out to you quick and they take the time to converse with their customers. The smash burgers are perfectly made and a fully commit to the messy nature of sandwiches without becoming soggy. They understand what they are selling and have streamlined it so well that it creates for the perfect experience. Wherever this truck sits is a destination spot if you ever visit the city.”
“Do yourself a favor — EAT AT LOTUS POND. (1) Carpool to Lotus Pond. The more the merrier. (2) Appetizers: You can’t lose. Everything is good. Me? I eat the Imperial Rolls. Get two orders of the egg rolls aka Imperial Rolls — one order won’t be enough for 2 people. Start there, you’ll be very happy. Also order the pork belly on the skewers please, No regrets. It’s very good. (3) Noodle Soups. Every bowl Is a winner. Pho is great, no question there. However, you absolutely must eat the SEAFOOD with special Red Noodle. (4) Early enough during the day, drink the Viet Ice Coffee. (5) Too bad they don’t have enough staff/hands to make the BANH CUON but they make up for it in many ways. Try everything on the menu. I’m not a relative. I don’t get money or fame for recommending Lotus Pond. I just know authentic good food when I see and eat it. Try it. You will leave with a full, joyous stomach … you will be very satisfied. Happy eating!”
“Went here with my family. We had reservations so we were able to go in right away (there was a lot of people waiting). The drinks were really good and the food was awesome! Our waitress was very nice and suggested to split burger before we even asked (our family likes to share). We even made a reservation in two weeks to take other friends there! Definitely recommend!”
“Nothing here is cheap, and that's a good thing because you're getting what you pay for. If you need an indulgent breakfast (the egg n sausage sandwich is insane), top-tier pastries, and high end coffee, this is a great place to go. The interior is pretty - lots of natural light - but the abundance of hard surfaces means it gets pretty loud regardless of how many people are actually in there. There's a small patio for sunny days, which I reckon would be a little easier to have a chat with friends in.”
“The food was very good, and my wife would highly recommend the Filet Mignon as it was superb. It was, however, the service that will cause us to return and bring friends.

“I was a little unsure of the location but once inside, it's extremely nice and a place I wish was in my neighborhood. The horseradish and roast beef is probably the best sandwich I've had in a year and the bacon chicken wrap wasn't quite as good but till very tasty. Good tap list as well.”
“Everything!! Well maybe not the licor de hierbas. I’m gallega, A Coruña, and I went to try it out anticipating it was not going to be good or authentic. I have to admit I was very wrong, I loved it! Highly recommend it and surely be back. Thank you Pilar for giving me the flavors of my childhood!”
“The food was phenomenal! Authentic, flavorful and so delicious. My mind was blown the whole night. Their mocktails and sweet tea are amazing! We will definitely be coming back!”
“Stateside was simply fun and excellent. A nice selection of cocktails, including a couple of nice NA cocktails. The food was innovative and delicious. We had the ribs, the sticky rice balls, and the trout. It was all excellent and and well presented. We will definitely go again our next time in Seattle!”
“The food is always very good. We come here every time we’re in town to visit our husky at UW. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A bit pricey.”
“Musang is absolutely some of the best Filipino food you will ever have. They put their heart on the plate and it's an experience to remember. I'll be back.🥰”
“Lovely place. The food was okay but not spectacular. We had several dishes. Some were better than others. I love the octopus!. The dates were good, however they should have put the feta inside the dates as well because otherwise they were a little too sweet. Would return because they do change the menu all the time.”
“Simply amazing Authentic Nepalese food that will make you go YUM! We came across this place driving down Aurora. Having been to Nepal a few tines we have great memories and love Nepalese food. Man this was the real deal. You may not think much driving by, but you cannot dispute authentic delicious Nepalese food. Service was awesome too. Reasonable prices. I had the chicken Thukpa extra spicy. The chicken breast was tender and marinated to perfection. The spices were flavorful Nepalese traditional. I cannot wait to go back. Check it out. I promise you won’t be disappointed It’s right next to the Crown Inn.”
“Hands down, the best pho you’ll find in Seattle! This place is killing it! I’m incredibly lucky to live in the neighborhood and I’ve been coming here since the day they opened. We were one of their first guests in those early days and eat here so much the owners know me by name! If I were qualified to give food awards, this place would win my 2024 Best of Seattle award! 🥇👏🏻✨ Ps. They do not accept reservations - it’s first come first serve. Around 6pm, they go on a waitlist and a line starts to form outside. Don’t bother calling to get on the waitlist - they won’t even do that for me! You have to show up in person to get on the list.”
“I recently tried Qiao Lin and went with the Golden Cow Platter along with a few other meat options. One important tip — don’t underestimate how much meat you’re getting! The portions are definitely generous, so I’d recommend ordering a little at first before piling on extras, or you might end up with more than you can finish.
The quality of the meat was solid — fresh and flavorful — and the dipping sauces complemented everything well. There are other snack/appetizers too near the sauce bar that you must try!
Overall, had a fun experience and would come back.”
“Tried out Sakana on a warm Friday evening and had a nice dinner! I want to highlight the excellent service and large food menu - both were greatly appreciated. Everything we received ranged from good to great, although I didn't adore my sushi deluxe order of nigiri. The shrimp tempura were especially good and I always love to see hand rolls available. It was pretty busy by the time we left so I'd recommend making reservations.”
“This is hands down my favorite place for a date night with my wife. It is perfect- the best charcuterie in Seattle, delicious glasses of wine, and great ambiance”
“I love their tonkatsu. I’m from Korea and every time I try tonkatsu in America, I’m not satisfied because they are just not authentic. But this place, I like that they cook pork a bit pink inside, which is very common and delicious way to eat tonkatsu in Japan/Korea. Don’t worry about safety, it’s just so good, juicy and tender!”
“Great food and great staff. Always delicious beers and cocktails. Great plant based options.”
“We celebrated my wife’s birthday. The whole staff took amazing care of us. The food was absolutely amazing, everything on the table was a win! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Great food and friendly service. Love that all seafood options are sustainably-sourced!”
“This restaurant is a delightful hidden gem, exuding a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The waitstaff is incredibly attentive, taking the time to inquire about your preferred level of spice in your dishes, which was especially considerate for my girlfriend, who is sensitive to spicy food. Every item on the menu is freshly prepared, showcasing a vibrant array of flavors. The presentation of the meals, along with the traditional Indian plates and utensils, adds an authentic touch that enhances the overall dining experience.”
“The cocktails I had were amazing. Staff was awesome and very generous.”
“I have been there multiple times all of which have been excellent. Although I have a  favorite, which is the pepperoni pizza, there is not one choice I wouldn't try because of the quality of food.”
“Such a fun place to grab a craft cocktail and some pho. The drinks were very unique and the pho was surprisingly very good. We also tried the Tofu Dip and the spring rolls. The dip was delicious but very rich and the spring rolls were very fresh. We definitely ordered too much food but it was delicious and a fun experience.”
“Great Service! Was welcomed immediately by bartender Dawn. Very charming and excellent explaining oyster selections. She kept on top of my orders. The happy hour choice of oyster was beyond what I expected! Big, ytasty. I’m a very picky oyster-ess! St. Louis, Mo. is not known for seafood AT ALL. Expensive and just “blah.” Definitely coming back and recommending to oyster loving friends!”
“Grilling is n art Issian has mastered . This is why we- my family and friends- love this place.”
“Love the Jazz vibes, the artwork, and the people. Solid and creative pizzas, but the shining star is their bartender/mixologist. Unpretentious, but maybe the best cocktails in a multiple mile radius. Would definitely come back again for the mixed drinks.”
“Very cool bar near Greenwood with delicious drinks. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and keep the vibes up in the already neat atmosphere. They went above and beyond to make each drink special. Comfy seats, clean bathroom, and various snack options. It is a small venue so better for groups of 4 or less.”
“This was a real treat. I felt utterly pampered and loved every second. Super fresh, local or foraged ingredients, treated with love and care. Beautiful restaurant, relaxing vibes, incredibly clean kit”
“Had a nice time at Tivoli. We decided to visit while waiting for an event nearby and tried several appetizers. Everything was definitely solid, although I thought it was a bit overpriced for what you get. Drinks were tasty and vibes relaxing however.”
“lIncredible craft cocktails and delicious food (don't forget to try the cake!) But the attention to detail in the beautiful wood design of the bar and fixtures, the decor, and the down-to-earth staff make this my favorite spot in the city!”
“Great food and drinks plus excellent service… What’s not to like? 🥳”
“Wow! Perfect dining experience. Friendly staff, amazing food and drinks, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! 🙏”
“Hands down! Thanks Agelegil best lega Tibs ever. Best customer service, definitely will be back!!”
“❤️🔥🍣🐟❤️🔥My husband and I are sushi lovers through and through, definitely team seafood over meat!
Our omakase experience at Suzuki was absolutely incredible. Of course, the food was amazing, but what made it truly special was the entire experience, from the service to the atmosphere.
Everyone who served us, including the chefs, was so kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be there. You could really feel the positive energy and strong bond among the staff, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.
Each dish was beautifully presented and came with thoughtful explanations, adding so much depth to the meal. It was a feast not just for the taste buds, but also for the eyes and ears. The ambiance was simply perfect.
Without a doubt, it was the best birthday dinner I’ve ever had.
Thank you😍❣️❣️”
“A very nice experience today with nice service and nice ambience. I'm not a big sushi fan but there are many other nice options too here. 5 out of 5.”
“My lovely wife and I have had the zeal of investing with Mr Aaron Soriano also analysing our investment is secure & safe. Aaron Soriano professionalism, Hard-works, understanding and compassion towards everything had us feeling like he was part of the family. He has an infectious bubbly personality that you just can't help but open up to him.”
“This place is so good, food and drinks are on point! Definitely recommend for a romantic couple or a get together with friends.”
“Best restaurant in the greater seattle area, friendly service and great food!!!”
“Always amazing food and the bartender can make anything you want perfectly. It’s my go-to spot for a casual but fancy dinner.”
“Been going here since 1994 and it’s my FAVORITE place to dine in Seattle🩷”
“What a wonderful experience! Super friendly staff and the Three Milk Cuban Flan was AMAZING.”
“The restaurant was excellent. The food was delicious and the drinks were even better. The selection of whiskeys they had was unlike anything I've ever seen. Their specialty cocktails were superb. The location is right at the entry of the Public Market Center. There were 4 of us at the table and we all shared the Baked Fontina appetizer, Hanger Steak, and Fried Pork Shank. The portions were so big that between the four of us, we couldn't finish the food at the table. The restaurant was a little loud but there were 3 tables of more than 8 people in there so we contributed the noise to that. The place is small but doesn't feel cramped. If you like good drinks or good food, this place should be on your list of places to eat in Seattle.”
“We're so glad a place opened up in Ballard serving reasonably priced sushi. The fish is super fresh, and the rolls are creative and delicious. There is also a good amount of hot food options as well.”
“We stopped by and ordered the carnitas fries and crab rangoons—both were seriously delicious. The fries were loaded and flavorful without being overly greasy, and the crab rangoons had that perfect crispy bite with a rich, creamy filling. You can tell they use quality ingredients and really care about what they’re serving.
The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming—it felt like visiting a local spot where people actually care about their customers. Their energy really set the tone and made the experience even better.
We didn’t try the drinks this time, but they looked super creative and well put together—definitely coming back to try those. Plus, the location is perfect for enjoying a sunny Seattle day. Great food, great people, and a relaxed, fun vibe. Highly recommend!”
“Oh wow! How did I just find this place out? Its amazing!!! Everything was simply incredible. The food was perfect. Roti Jala very tasty as a starter. Then we ordered the chicken which was super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. We also ordered the laksa noodles which was heaven and we also got the ribs. Please order the coconut shake and the passion fruit green tea. Wow wow wow! We will be back for my birthday with our friends!”
“Family run (I think) and feel restaurant with good food and did not leave hungry. Total casual and easy to feel welcome. Home made food and daily specials. I got the feeling you could ask for alterations to meals and they would accommodate. Chef came out to make sure all was good and definitely knew the regulars. He treated everyone as a regular. Would recommend and will go back.”
“Wow, a Japanese owned gem kaisendon place!! Takeout only but the small interior waiting space is modestly decorated and nice. The staff is kind; the salmon ikura don is amazing!! Already thinking about the next visit when I’m eating this bowl :)”
“This is a great local restaurant with all the good feelings that go with,,,,and has the plus of truly interesting, tasty, well prepared and well served food.
I've been several times and everything tried on the menu is excellent.
Good for them for getting the NYT accolades, and the team is hustling even more with the increased flow.
Keep it up!”
“Pizza was great! So was the pasta Fagioli. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Very cute restaurant with cozy atmosphere.”
“Really nice spot! Older crowd - the server is efficient and maybe the nicest person ever, the food is standard but super well made, and they have a couple of TVs for sports.”
“Every year treat ourselves to a kaiseki or omakase for our anniversary, and out of all of the places that we’ve tried so far in Seattle, this one is easily one of the best! The presentation for each course is stunning, every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and the quality is top notch. I’d say it’s very worth the price. Hope they get the recognition they deserve and their business continues to thrive 😊💯”
“This place is really amazing. The Hispanic lady running to pizza kitchens is amazing. She’s can totally multi multi task.”
“love sitting on the patio on a warm day and enjoying a cold delicious cocktail. The wings are tasty, the sunday cheesesteak is dynamite. they serve a terrific smoked old fashioned and many drinks on the cocktail list are spectacular. throw in friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere and you’re all set! love this place.”
“Koko's has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Seattle! Coming from California, this is the first restaurant that has incredible mexican food. Along with a great tequila bar, overall great menu, incredible music and vibes, this place is fantastic! Would highly recommend for a 10/10 experience.”
“Large portions of the most buttery steaks and pork we have ever had. Real Japanese A5 wagyu grilled for you on the table.”
“There's this unexpected gem, you MUST try, in the U-District! It's the Red Pepper Chinese Cuisine! They are this great clean and fairly fast restaurant, that serves up hearty and delicious meals! Most of their entrées serve 2 or more people (almost family style), so bring your appetite!!! We had their Dry Pot dish, where you can choose 5 mix and match ingredients, on their menu. A Stir-Fried Noodle, with Chicken and a Deep Fried Chicken Soft Bone, with RED PEPPER! 😉🔥🌶 Everything was super delicious and filling!!! It looks like they have great lunch specials too, so go check them out and lmk what you try! Cheers!”
“The food in amazing! presentation and flavors. cant wait to go again!!! My old fashioned was classic in taste , however their spirits menu offers great variety”

“service was very extremely welcoming and prompt. My first time here and I was craving Chinese food - I Ordered takeout which was promptly delivered hot in compostable and biodegradable takeout containers. No chopsticks or napkins offered. I ordered the egg rolls and prawn dumplings. I thought my appetizers lacked flavor; I couldn’t taste any prawns or the pork. I was so sad, but I would go back and try something else one more time….”
“The food is delicious . Everything is made with pride . It’s all fresh and made in house . Since it’s fresh and made to order , you will have to wait . It is worth it . I highly recommend the Greek french fries , amazing. Also I would not skip the chai tea or baklava, both so good. Friendly family business that appreciates its customers. The only thing I did not like was not their fault . Customers constantly talking loudly on cell phone , incredibly annoying ringers going off from multiple phones, some very loud voices . It’s a tiny place with close tables so hear everything. It has lovely lighting from beautiful lamps and is nicely decorated. I just wish some of the customers more considerate .”
“The service is absolutely terrible. I would give it a negative 10 if I could. I bought two steamed buns which can perfectly fit into a paper bag. The staff put them in a plastic box without asking me so she can charge me the box fee. I told her I do not need a box and please put them in a paper bag. The staff yelled at me "Don't ever come back again!!!" It is like robbery in plain day light. They force you to purchase the plastic box you do not need. I noticed they used to have plastic plates for dining ins, but now they got rid of all the plastic plates so customers who eat in have no option but to buy their plastic boxes. This is forced sale. How Sneaky! The staff are always yelling at you and extremely rude. They are incapble of speaking normally. Definitely avoid this place.”
“Tony’s Bakery is my new go to place. A fun and happy place one stop shopping for your appetite. We were having a birthday party and this is what I ordered: Decorated chocolate fillings cake wings(fish sauce glazed vegetarian fried spring rolls shrimp fried rice fresh shrimp rolls chicken pan fried noodles Everything was delicious and the owner made sure everything was perfect! Thank you I will be back again and again and again!”
“After having been to Driftwood twelve times I can confidently say it’s the only restaurant in Seattle worth dining at. Lots of places make claims about freshness and local ingredients, but chef Dan Mallahan shops at the Farmers Market two days a week. It’s not a joke or a gimmick. If you want to eat food grown exclusively in Washington State, that tastes real, then Driftwood is the spot. They serve tomatoes that actually have flavor, delicious veggie dishes, and meat and fish that are tender and juicy. They combine so many flavors in a subtle harmony making each bite you take delightful. Not to mention the killer cocktails. The vibe is beautiful but chill. The staff are lovely and kind. Everything about Driftwood is real. The food, the people, even the hand towels in the bathroom. Concerned about prices at a farm-to-table restaurant and getting enough to eat? Go with a friend and share two starters and a main. For example, I just had the Olsen Farm Kennebec JoJos, the Piece by Piece Farm Tempura Delicata squash, and the Butcher’s Cut Pork Chop. Yum!”
“I love the food here, but on delivery orders, they have messed up twice now on mine! Am supposed to get refund, so will see in a couple of days! Driver couldn’t check on my order as they had stapled the bag shut! Was sur prized when I opened the bag a found two large containers of soup and no almond fried chicken and gravy with almonds or even the extra gravy I’d requested! At times like this, wish I still had my car so could have gone back myself to get the rest of my order! Is hard when you’re disabled!”
“I’ve lived on Alki since 1989. I’ve seen many restaurants come and go from this location. Lotus on the Beach is the best of them all. The ability to pick from a variety of Vietnamese and Thai dishes is its strength. The owner and staff welcome any and all critiques of the food and service.”

“This amazing establishment provided chowder & bisque for the Classic Yacht Association's Bell Harbor Rendezvous over this last Fathers' Day weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed luscious bowls of absolute scrumptiousness, and appreciated their courteous, kind, and professional staff. Thank you!!! Highly recommend!”
“I have eaten at Toulouse Petit many times. It is my husband and I's favorite spot. We have tried many items on the menus and have never walked away unsatisfied. The food is always amazing, the service is kind, and it’s just a place I love coming back to. If you’ve never been, you should definitely check it out. It’s one of Seattle’s best.”
“I went to their Seattle location for Cinco de Mayo. I had their mango margarita and their breakfast burrito with carnitas. Both were delicious! They have artwork available for purchase and I saw a couple I’d like to buy for myself. I will have to go back and do that.”
“This Ruth's Chris does not disappoint! Top notch food quality, perfectly cooked steaks, service was fantastic, from the front door staff to the table service. Their entire team was locked in to providing a great experience. This chain is at the top of the high end steakhouses! Great Job”
“The atmosphere is very calming with a vintage aesthetic that warms the soul and is perfect for the food sold, the way it was laid on the plates helped it look especially delectable and the taste helped with that assumption, the service was lovely, our waiter Tyler was so kind and funny, very welcoming and instantly put all of my anxieties as ease. Lovely experience would come again”
“Pleasantly surprised! My niece wanted sushi, and Japonessa happened to be the closest spot to us. We were surprised at the reasonable prices, so we decided to go in. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed and our waitress was wonderful. The food was delicious! We will absolutely be back.”

“Richards BBQ is indeed too good!
Richard himself warmheartedly greeted me and explained the available options for ordering my meal.
I tried the delicious chopped brisket, mac n’ cheese and collard greens plus the honey cornbread.
Everything was amazing and the chopped brisket was moist, tender and had just the right hint of smoke flavor!
If you love barbecue, stop on by and give it a try…They do catering too!”
“As a Chicagoan, their Midwest hospitality and delicious food encapsulates the spirit of childhood pizza parties! We felt so taken care of and had so many delicious pizzas. So fricking incredible. Highly recommend!!!”
“Went for my sister’s birthday dinner with a group of 10, including my 6yo, sat out on back patio; staff was so accommodating and kind to him and the whole group. Above and beyond customer service. Food and drinks (alcoholic and non) were amazing, we ordered one of everything family style, would highly recommend!”
“Was going to also say a Hidden Gem is right. I have been here a few times precisely so after Saturday protest went with friends who were visiting from out of town. They loved the decor. Our sever Monika is perfect. Can't wait when Im bad in area for my yummy 7$ glass of glass.”
“Best sunset view by the water coupled with one of the most legendary ice creams in the city. Just loved the experience. The seasonal flavour of berry cheesecake took the cake, figuratively. The salted caramel was awesome as well. They offer the waffle cone free of cost and that is a delighter.”
“Great new rooftop at the Populous Hotel with superb cocktails (the pisco drink was excellent) and solid NA options. Our server was fantastic 5/5 service. Bathrooms could’ve been cleaner and lines were long. Despite a reservation, seating was in the side patio where people crowded waiting for tables and bumped several times. Food menu is short but nice—would love a GF option for the crab dip. Busy spot, reservations recommended, perfect for out-of-town guests.”
“The food was just amazing! and the service? 5 star from Maki! She's amazing!”
