All of the delights that bring me coming back!
Thanks!!“

“So much delicious food here. Best turkey pot pie soup, apple crisp, and lasagna. Sandwiches are a mainstay. Recommend ordering ahead a little to avoid a wait, as everything is made to order.“

“Superb! Had the Bristol bay sockeye melt! Deli folks smoothly & accurately described the makings. I said let's do it standard. Was NOT Disappointed. Recommend them for salmon melt. They know their product well too. Great little shop held me over for a while, stuck locked out of my truck on way to work. Couldn't get stuck on a cooler location!“

“Authentic Vietnamese Food that’s delicious. Trek over to West Seattle and order some to enjoy with friends. It’s take out only, no dining inside but well worth your trip.“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“Tuscan grilled chicken was the best!“

“I love this little fast food quick meals. The owner of this place is like family to al of the customers that come in. The food is fantastic, the service is also fantastic. Best cheese and bacon grits also best breakfast fried rice in the entire State of Washington.Note: You will have to wait for the bacon cheese grits until it gets cold. There is always the breakfast fried rice. Both are very good ??“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“Literally the best hidden gem 💎 the food is incredible, I haven't tried a menu item that wasn't top tier. The folks who own and operate this business are the kindest souls and always upbeat! 10-10 I would recommend to anyone new to the area as a must try!“

“This place is amazing! Had such a good banh mi here and a lychee jasmine tea! Both were delicious! The grilled pork banh mi was only $6.50 ish and had such fresh ingredients and flavor! The tea was also perfect, not too sweet or too bitter. Also the girl at the counter was really nice and friendly, great customer service. I will definitely come back!“

“The sandwiches so good highly recommend it was so goooood“

“Great lunch deal near Washington Convention center. Friendly staff quick service and value for your money.“

“I came in a month or so ago when visiting a friend, I was helped by a very kind, funny and helpful young man (didn't get his name but he had longish brown hair and had earrings on) I ordered the Beastmode, it was perfect!!! I will definitely be returning next time I come to Seattle! highly recommend this place! 10/10 experience!“

“I do love this place. I rarely leave reviews. This is a family run business. Where else would one find a spam tree and I do not even believe in the holiday. I have not been able to try food because there is nothing I can eat due to food allergies but I hear great things and living in a food desert, it is here or subway and there food is handmade and visibly fresher. They even have warm spam musubi. I adore the workers and even the owners who are often working the register. While some say the prices are high, they are not compared to a gas station or even 7-11. They have a lot of IPAs if you like IPAs. And a wide assortment including Toliet Paper which they did not even mark up during lockdown. The vibe is rooted in serving the local Delridge Community and you can tell. Reminds me of bodegas in NY.“

“Zylberschtein's catered my son's bar mitzvah luncheon and did an amazing job! The food was delicious, there was PLENTY of it and the Zylberschtein's team did all of the set-up & clean up, making it effortless for me. Working with their team before & during the event was also very easy. Highly recommend them for your catering needs! 🙌✡️🥯🔯🫶“

“The owners were very efficient (granted, I was the only one there), and they have an incredible selection of sandwiches. The breakfast burrito is SO GOOD, the salsa is amazing! The only drawback is that the prices have risen from what's shown on Google.“

“If I lived near here, I’d be afraid this place would get too popular. Good prices for some real good sandwiches! Plus, the service is great. Only 5 seats on the inside and 4 on the outside, but if you’re trying to decide where to get a quality warm or cold sandwich in the area, this is the one you should pick.“

“​The shop had such a warm, inviting energy that I felt at home the second I walked in. One look at the menu, and my mouth turned into a literal waterfall. I finally ordered The Wrecker, and let me tell you—it hit so hard I nearly took a finger off with the first bite. To top it all off, that KitKat ice cream had me about two seconds away from an R&B slow jam right there in the booth.“

“We love tower 12 deli! We live across the street and frequent this shop often for their phenomenal breakfast sandwiches and delicious deli sandwiches. They also have a great selection of pantry basics, wine beer and sake, and emergency hardware supplies.

I have always experienced great customer service... the few people complaining seem to forget they are in a downtown bodega and not a michelin restaurant.“

“TOP SECRET SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM: You would never know that this little deli/convenience store tucked away in the Central District sells delicious soft serve ice cream in the summertime. These are your standard, no-fuss soft serve, and I love them. Creamy and light texture, not overly sweet, and no hefty outrageous prices. I think they cost $4/cone. The size in the photo is a small which is plenty big enough for me.

I'm a bit of a soft serve junkie, and some of the places I've been to recently include Indigo Cow, The Pastry Project, MOTO Pizza, and Temple Pastries' new ice cream and sandwich shop (that opened on July 5, 2024) and had some of their strawberry sumac vegan soft serve. Out of all of them, I think King's Deli has the best b/c it's simple and unfussy. And the price can't be beat. The atmosphere is nothing special but that's OK by me.

One caveat, be sure to call them before you go just to make sure the soft serve machine is ON. Sometimes when I've stopped by they haven't turned the machine on yet, and I have to come back though in the summertime, it's usually on all the time.

It's a hot tip secret and I aim to change that ?

Kid-friendliness: Kids (& adults!) love soft serve ice cream!“

“best in Seattle. love the thin skin daily fresh.“

“I come here as much as I can during lunch throughout the week. I get the Turkey Club everytime. It is super delicious. And the ladies there are some of the nicest women I’ve met and treat me so nicely. It’s a place where you will enter and leave happy. Highly reccomend!“

“I've been to Osteria La Spiga quite a few times—and for good reason. This place gets it right, consistently. The food is soulful, elegant, and deeply Italian without trying to impress you—it just does. Handmade pastas are the anchor: rich, balanced, and clearly made with care. The seasonal menu always delivers, and the flavors feel both comforting and special, like a meal you want to linger over. The service is thoughtful and unpretentious. You're welcomed, not rushed, and guided just enough if you want help navigating the menu or wine list. Speaking of wine: the selection is excellent and pairs beautifully with the food. Whether it's a quiet dinner, a celebratory meal, or a night you want to savor, Osteria La Spiga has earned its place as a go-to. It's one of those restaurants you keep returning to—not out of habit, but because it delivers every time.“

“The sandwiches so good highly recommend it was so goooood“

“my first time ever going in was this morning , the lady working was very sweet and polite , the bacon an egg biscuit sandwich was tasty and delicious. I'll be back forsure 💯♥️“

“It's very nice to have a corner store in the neighborhood, and Caleb is always friendly and welcoming if he's working! I do wish prices were marked, and I do find it bizarre on the owners part to have a tip option on the checkout. That is always a red flag to me. Otherwise, decent store when you need something in a pinch“

“Perfect spot for a solid simple breakfast sandwich. Real egg, cheese, good quality bacon (ham and sausage also options). Choice of bread - I went with croissant and my husband did English muffin. Perfectly simple and delicious. I don’t need a fancy breakfast sandwich with tomato, leek, aioli, etc… get outta here with that stuff. Came out quick too. Highly recommend.“
