Reviews

An absolutely amazing experience and Sunny treated us with amazing service. The food is a must and forget just Korean food, this is some of the best food I’ve had period!

The biscuits here are amazing! We ordered our food and then walked down to Pikes Market to shop. No indoor seating at this location, there are some 2 person tables outside, but not many. No public bathroom.

The hype is real. Buttery moist biscuits… delicious!
I ordered the biscuit with veggie patty and mushroom gravy. So good! Don’t miss out trying this spot!
Expect to wait long so here’s a tip! If you see the sign that tells you how long you have to wait, it’s probably true. So place your order and then walk down the street to pikes place and grab some coffee or other food.

I loved the food here. So filling. It could take some time to get your order, so you might wanna order online before you get there. I’m gonna try their biscuit sandwich next time.

I don't remember the last time I had something that tasted soo good! I ordered the stuffed salmon, and it had all my favorite ingredients! The spicy coconut cream added that extra something that pulled the whole dish together! The salmon was cooked perfectly without being dry. The crab "stuffing" was even done well and not dry.
I can't believe in the many times I've been to the Pikes Market, I've never been here! I will definitely be back!

5 stars for Jonny Rocket’s strawberry milkshake! I’d been craving it for ages, and when I finally took that first sip, it instantly delivered, tasted just like my childhood in a glass. Creamy, perfectly sweet, and full of nostalgia. Totally worth the wait!

Nice pub… order yourself option worked well. Pizza was really good! Cocktail was fabulous very fresh tasty! Bourbon, cranberry with some added goodness.

Very cool atmosphere and great location less than a block from Pike Place Market. It has a very unique layout, with the entrance at street level, where the Fish Bar is located. The Brew Pub is one floor below. The decor is really cool, lots of interesting beer history lining the walls. One places an order by scanning a QR code and ordering online. Then a server brings your order to the table. The service was quick and courteous. The food is solid, beers are great. I went especially to have some Ol' Crimson Lager and support my beloved Cougs. The place is laid back and has something for everyone, including a full bar. We will be back for sure.

This place has great biscuit sandwiches! The wait time can be long, so I definitely recommend ordering ahead and being prepared to take away as the outdoor seating is limited. There's plenty of waterfront seating around the corner.

This is for the Seattle Chinatown International District (CID) location. They have another location in Lynnwood.
Street parking is the only offering here. As with other city businesses, you are likely to be parking a couple of blocks way, then walking to this spot.
Plenty of seating inside and the restrooms were clean. They only have hand dryer ls that initially look like a paper towel dispenser, so don't get startled when it blast you with air.
Note: As the restaurant states, it's Gangnam-style food or "city food." That means that if you're expecting the more southern traditional spicy (more salty, garlicky and fishy), or what I call "more flavorful" take on Korean, then it won't be that. It's a moderate approach to Korean, so if you're new to Korean food, this is a great start.
The best start is to get the stone bibim-bap or dolsot bibim-bap. It's a got stone bowl filled with your choice of meat or tofu with an assortment of veggies. It grills crispy on the hot bowl and is topped with an egg with the spicy go-chu-jang sauce on the side so you can control the spice level.
Portions were good here. They have the smaller and regular sizes on the menu. The smaller 1-person serving will be about $16 a dish, and the 2+person serving will be about $30 a dish, so specify when you order.
They do have the traditional barely/corn tea or bo-lee-cha, but the day we went, the machine was broken. The tea is usually a good indicator of the food experience, so it was a toss-up, but we were pleasantly surprised. And that is what you'll in the reviews. An assortment of 5-star and 1-star reviews for this location.
The side-dishes were good. When we went, they had kimchee (not fishy), bean sprouts, zucchini, and mushrooms for the offering. All fresh, except for the kimchee that is supposed to be fermented.
The soft tofu soup was good and it comes with rice and they drop the egg for you so stir or don't stir the soup depending on how you want your egg. They only offer white rice, but it was perfectly sticky. The spicy grilled pork was good also. Not too sweet or overly seasoned. (*Pro-tip: scoop the spicy sauce with grilled pork and veggies and mix it with the rice to raise your rice game to the next level )
They have a giant display for the assortment of soju they have to offer. I recommend the peach. It usually "pairs" (*pun intended) and goes well with meat dishes.
The service was good. He was newer, and was very polite but not intuitive. He was also the only person seating and serving, which was why we still tipped the regular Seattle 20%. We did have to ask for additional side-dishes (as with most Korean restaurants) but I did wish that he bagged our leftovers rather than handing me containers and me asking for a bag. But as I mentioned, he was new.
Midas 5-stars for the food and cool Korean K-pop bar atmosphere.

Fresh hot delicious biscuit breakfast that is uniquely Seattle. Not to miss when in town. Arrive early, as it gets busy for late risers. Worth the wait - plenty of nearby places to visit while waiting for order. Be prepared, to go orders or outdoor seating only.

Such a great place with a lot of history! A lot of ghost tours start here and it's so fun to learn the history of Seattle and the building specifically! They have a section dedicated to Nellie, a previous historic owner. It's so interesting!
The drinks are great and so are the pretzels!

Love this place since Arizona move to Washington I’m amazed that found this in here our server KATHY WAS SPECTACULAR SUPER ATTENTIVE AND AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE IF I HAD THE OPTION FOR 10 STAR ⭐️ I WOULD I order a VEGGIE BURGUER IN A LETTUCE 🥬 WRAP It was the best VEGGIE BURGUER I HAD the chef EDGAR IT WAS AMAZING 🤩 FABULOUS CHEFF CUSTOMER SERVICE AMAZING THE FOOD AMAZING 🤩 also we have 66 ROUTH WITH Ff if u are vegetarian 🌱 you need to tried the veggie burger 🍔 ! TOTTALY RECOMMEND!

Best burgers, fries and milkshake everrrr! Delicious, excellent customer service, confort place. Definitely ill come back 🤩

Every trip to Seattle (9 times), we have gone to the Pike. This was a disappointing trip. The food has always been good in the past but this time we were disappointed. The burgers were just not appetizing, and the nachos were very dry and plain. The crab cake was also bland and not to par. Our server was friendly and attentive. Hopefully this was just an off day.

Overall, this place was amazing. The Biscuit topped with Sausage Gravy, shredded Cheddar, a split-grilled Louisiana Hot Link and Jalapeños was delicious - I actually didn’t need jalapeños, I would have preferred perhaps banana peppers for a more sweet heat. Great portion size. The biscuit was nice and moist. I don’t believe a sufficient amount of sausage gravy was given based on the portion size (I do believe a little bit more would have been just right).
The grits were absolutely TERRIBLE: not only were they cold, it lacked any flavor (no salt, butter, or garlic). Grits can ONLY be served hot, at no point should they be as it appears here and this is after waiting 1.5 hours for the food to be prepared (the fact the cheese isn’t even melted is an even better indication that the grits were not hot).
ORDER IN ADVANCE - each location will indicate the wait time for food. There is no dine-in. But absent the grits, would definitely go back. Staff very nice and friendly as well.

I was hyping up korean fried chicken for a friend and took him here, needless to say it did not disappoint either of us. Bone in or bone out the chicken was perfectly crisp and light. I noticed all of my korean favorites are on the menu so needless to say I'm definitely coming back!

I came in for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by how good this place was. The food was flavorful and well-prepared. Unlike a Korean BBQ grill, this spot is more of a Korean restaurant since you don’t grill your own food. The service was friendly and attentive. The prices are on the higher side, but if you’re looking for a delicious dining option in Chinatown, this place is worth checking out.

The vibe is pretty rad. The service is set yo for high volume. Host will seat you, but you place your own order using their online platform. Food / drinks will be delivered to you, but there is no server. I would have preferred an actual server. The food was good, the craft cocktail menu was fun.

Headed for a day at the market and made a quick stop for a bite to eat! Fish and chips were great! Beer was crispy and delicious as well! Service was quick and staff were extremely friendly! Definitely would come back next time I’m in Seattle!

Great spot for a biscuit sandwich. It’s freshly made and delicious and the price is decent too. Went around 9am and lots of people in line already. Very few seating spots outside.

Stopped in after picking up a sandwich from Homegrown. They let me sit and drink a few beers. Great staff, super friendly. And the open windows are great for people watching while relaxing and eating.

Came to this place based on word of mouth and also having heard it’s a common spot upon Seattle visitors. I really enjoyed the food; everything was as pictured and tasted even better. The seating is rough if you’re trying hang out, but it’s to be expected for a popular spot. Spots are limited because of a few chairs and tables right outside on the sidewalk in the city hustle and bustle.

We just happened upon Gangnam quite by chance and hands down the best vegetarian bibimbap we had ever had! Served in the hot stone bowl so it kept cooking as we enjoyed it.... the browned rice ends were THE BOMB! 100% recommend!

I made a point of eating at Gangnam Seattle when I walked around the international district, and boy I was not disappointed! Excellent food and wonderful service. Very friendly and welcoming!
Don't pass up a chance on this gem! I would definitely return! Maggie made my lunch time very enjoyable. Best employee!

We came here as a group of 5 around 6pm on a Sunday in July and were easily able to find a table. It seems like a lot of customers tend to do takeout. Once we sat, we got water fairly quickly which was nice because it was quite hot that day.
When we were ordering our food, a person in my group asked for all flats when she ordered wings and they were able to accommodate that request. As we waited for the food, they gave us these four dishes to share that came complimentary. I appreciated being able to try something new, but was not sure what the name of the different dishes were. Food came out as it was ready rather than out at the same time, but that ended up being fine because no one finished their food before another person got their food.
I ordered the teriyaki chicken with white rice and when I got my food, there was also a noodle and a fried egg that came with it. Those two items were not listed as included. I enjoyed the chicken and rice, but the texture of the noodle was not for me and I am not a fan of a runny yolk so I just put the egg to the side. I tried the gyoza and liked the dipping sauce that came with it. I also tried the Potato hotdog and the cheese inside was nice and melty while the outside was crispy. The people in my group enjoyed what they ordered too and overall we were satisfied with our meal. I believe the price for the food was fairly reasonable.

We've been here quite a few times. Usually for this pear cider (poire domfront). They currently do not have it anymore but they still have amazing options. Their cocktails are also very good. I couldn't comment on the food because they don't have many options for vegan but I'd definitely come here for a drink. I mean we do regularly when in Seattle.
Oh also they do off sales of bottled drinks, or did. And one time they did something out of this world, which really showcases how they care and try hard to make you have an amazing experience.

I am in Seattle for three days. I went here on Monday night with a co-worker and the place was empty (which is understandable since it was President's Day). We sat at the end of the bar and the bartender came right over to chat and take our order. We started out with a couple drinks recommended by our bartender. My coworker got a whiskey drink and I a Moscow Mule. While not served in a metal mug, the drink was smooth and delicious in the glass - which is the first time I had ever had a decent Moscow Mule served in a glass.
My coworker knew his drinks and ordered a whiskey I'd never heard of (though I'm not a connoisseur of whiskey), then he ordered a cocktail off the menu that the bartender recommended and then had a vodka drink with the Polish vodka the bartender also had recommended (the same one I had ordered for my mule.
He wanted oysters (which I think are icky) and he said were very good. I got the duck fat fries (heavenly) and then we both ordered burgers which were juicy and delicious.
Damn the Weather is located in Pioneer Square and is great place to unwind with friends and colleagues after work for great drinks, good food, knowledgeable bartenders, and an awesome atmosphere.

Great food execution but fairly small portions for the price if you’re here for dinner. Drinks are good!

The servers that we encountered were very friendly and hard-working. The food is a typical gimmicky place that's overpriced, but the nostalgia feeling reels you in. The burgers start at around 12 dollars, the sides are 5.95, and I'm not sure about how much the drinks cost because we didn't bother to order any. For a family of 3, we spent 50 dollars. That's 2 adults and 1 child. We shared a side.



It was interesting to try different cuisines from different countries. We seated outside and had several dishes and cocktails. It has a mini bar and seating area and the service is okay. The food is fine, nothing special other than the presentation.
I’d say it’s fine to try once for the experience as the cuisines are unique, but not that great. I wish I had taken more pics of the dishes.
There’s no specific parking so you’d end up parking on the street.

TLDR: We came here very excited and we left feeling very happy and satisfied with the food and overall experience.
We started off with the infamous water beetles. It tasted like a combination of Sour candy+jolly rancher+licorice!
We then ordered South African bunny chow and Brazilian Acarajé. Bunny chow was soooooo yummy; you will chomp down everything and I’ll give that to you in writing!
Brazilian Acarajé was veryyyy interesting. I loved the prawns stuffing inside and it is actually quite heavy.
For dessert, we went with Danish Drømmekage Dream Cake. It was soooo yummy, a must try especially if you like Marionberry ❤️
All in all everything we ate turned out to be sooo good. Highly recommend the restaurant- perfect location for dinner with friends or family.
We went on a Wednesday night and it was crowded. We had a reservation, so we were seated immediately.
I really liked the aesthetics of the place but the restaurant is actually quite small so all the tables are so close to each other and sometimes it’s sooo loud because of the crowd. It wasn’t an issue for us though because we only had one mission - mission gluttony, and we nailed it!

The food was amazing and I don’t say this lightly. The fries with the coconut sauce was mind blowing, the vegetarian bimimbap was great too. Pineapple corn bread was warm and the coconut flakes on top made it even better, a winner combo. Also ordered the Malayasian dal and Parota, the dal had lemongrass infused in it. The food in this place is definitely worth it. Felt the decor was hyped, maybe because I didn’t really understand much of it. Parking is a bit hard to come by, but there’s a $4 an hour (weekdays) lot right next to it.

The flood was sophisticated, creative yet simple and easy to relate to! Amazing presentation and even better taste! Their wine selection has some nice French wines. We are looking forward to many more dinners at this fabulous restaurant.

Authentic Korean Cuisine with Exceptional Hospitality
As a native Korean from Seoul, I highly recommend this Korean restaurant. My family and I visited this establishment around 9pm, and despite their usual to-go policy between 9 to 10, they kindly accommodated us at a table. This gesture was immensely appreciated, especially after a long 6-hour flight to Seattle with a tired and hungry young son in tow.
We ordered bibimbap, seafood soft tofu soup, and ramen, accompanied by four delightful side dishes including kimchi, simmered potato with soy sauce, mung bean sprout namul, and zucchini. Each dish was prepared with utmost care and tasted absolutely delicious. The hearty portions left us fully satisfied, and the reasonable prices were an added bonus.
What truly sets this restaurant apart is their exceptional hospitality. The staff made us feel right at home, and their kindness made our dining experience even more memorable. I cannot wait to visit this restaurant again before we leave Seattle. If you're craving authentic Korean cuisine served with warmth and care, look no further than this gem of a restaurant.

We kicked things off with the "World Butter Plate" – nothing fancy, just a fun way to taste different kinds of butter.
Then came the mouthwatering Indonesian Pork Belly and the downright amazing South African Bunny Chow. Seriously, they blew us away.
And to top it all off, we indulged in the Danish Drømmekage Dream Cake.
Overall, the food was out of this world, and I absolutely loved the vibe of the place. It was totally unique.
Would definitely visit again

Love the travel-inspired theme and variety of international cuisine. All the food (except water bugs) were very delicious. Highly recommend the Brazilian Acarajé and South African Bunny Chow. As far as the water bugs - if you want to see your friends squirm and have a laugh, then try it. Otherwise, the bugs really don't have much flesh and the taste was not my cup of tea. Would not recommend that dish for the price. Everything else was 👍 also, don't bother looking for street parking, just park in the public lots as the price is about the same

We ordered the Portuguese Peri Peri Chicken Sandwich. Picture tender chicken, marinated in a fiery Peri Peri sauce, nestled between slices of toasted artisan bread, and topped with crisp lettuce and ripe tomato. Each bite was a burst of bold flavors, perfectly balancing spice and freshness.
Next up was the South African Bunny Chow—a dish that stole the show with its bold and comforting flavors. Savoring the aromatic curry served in a hollowed-out loaf of bread was an experience in itself, transporting me to the streets of South Africa with every bite. This was shockingly amazing!
The ambiance at Nue perfectly complements the eclectic menu, with its quirky decor and laid-back vibe. The attentive service only added to the charm, making our dining experience truly memorable.

I always love johnny rockets! Their burgers are sooo good i love the toasted bun and special sauce. Onion rings and shake were great too























Unique experience where we get to try different cuisines. This is a small place which led to us to wait for almost 40 minutes so highly recommend to call ahead and reserve. The ambience is unique as well with decor from different parts of the world but clumsy. It has a mini bar and seating area, the service is fine. As we went as a group, we got a chance to order several dishes from the menu. We are disappointed with fried chicken, nothing special other than the presentation. On the other hand, several other dishes like bunny chow, mussels are good. Disappointed with the dessert which has 90% whipped cream. The prices are expensive, we can try once for the experience.


Come here if you're craving an absolutely delicious healthy breakfast & their famous pickled red onions. I had the Avacado Toast plate with an extra egg. I was blown away by the mouth-watering flavors. Packed with greens and delicious pickled red onions makes this one of the healthiest and heartiest breakfasts I've ever had.

The food was delicious! The onion rings are very crunchy and fresh. The server Esteban, was so so nice, the most genuine person we interacted with all day! 10/10 recommend this place for some burgers, shakes, fries and the works!



Barbecue pork lo mein: really delicious. Very flavorful. Cooked well. All the flavors match. And there’s a lot of it! $14
Spring rolls: pretty bland tasting. The spring rolls at Safeway taste better. But they’re incredibly crispy and fall apart in your mouth! $2.50/ea
Wonton soup: do not recommend the wonton soup. The wontons are way too soggy and the scallions are way too crispy. It’s also bland and doesn’t taste all that great. $3
Steamed rice: the rice was nice and sticky. It was fluffy and tasted just right. $2
Drink was a vodka pineapple (house). $8

My favorite hamburgers!
These burgers are really exquisite. The meat is tender, the products feel fresh and everything is prepared at the moment.
The jalapeño popper were really good crunchy and an excellent portion for two.
The server is really nice, helpful and really takes care of the customers.

Its a quick business meeting place in downtown, quite, large. With snakes and coffee ready to have for a quick break. Close to Bank of America and public library. Coffee was around $5 dollar and also they have a small gift shop room as well.

Can't speak for the food but the coffee is absolutely delicious. Had the caramel brulee latte ($8) and its A+. The atmosphere is amazing and I love the decor! Spacious, luxurious, and welcoming. Great place to get some work done if you need. I gave a 4 stars because I haven't tried the food! Looks delicious thought. I will say the coffee trends on the pricier side but it's the W hotel! Grab a coffee and relax ;)


The last time I was here I just happened to step in and had the best service and my food was amazing. Today I came back and I wish I hadn't. The turkey sandwich was beyond tough while the inside was soggy from the the excessive amount of red sauce, but burnt in some places and biting into that ruined my appetite. We ordered the food to-go but grabbed a couple of fries on the way out of the door and they were already cold! Without ordering drinks, the practically inedible lunch for me and a toddler was over $40 and I surely won't be spending a single penny here again in the future.




Food was OK. Not really wow'ed though it was listed as Best Brunches in Eater. Ordered Chengdu Chicken Wings, South African Bunny Toast and their tea leaf salad. Tea leaf salad was kinda disappointing as it was kinda dry, was really craving for a good one and was hoping to be almost as good as Burma superstar. Food was Instagram able though.









Not too long ago trek from Space Needle in Seattle (about 15min walk). Got in there hungry and the food was served quickly enough.
Delicious food, lovely service but thought it was a bit pricey.

Dining at Johnny Rockets, The Original Hamburger, offers an enthralling throwback to the classic American 80s diner, complete with a charming jukebox and cozy booth seating. The ambiance exudes a nostalgic warmth, inviting diners into a space where time seems to blissfully pause. Our waiter, Stefan, was the epitome of hospitality, showcasing a blend of friendliness and helpfulness that significantly enhanced the dining experience.
The culinary highlight was undoubtedly the Turkey Burger accompanied by onion rings. Each bite of the burger was a delightful journey through perfectly balanced flavors and textures. The turkey patty was exceptionally juicy, cooked to the ideal temperature, ensuring that every mouthful was a savory delight. The onion rings provided a delightful contrast, with their crispy exterior encasing sweet, tender onions – a testament to the kitchen’s skill in elevating simple ingredients into something extraordinary.
Equally impressive were the fries and cheeseburger. The fries struck the perfect balance between crispy and fluffy, making them irresistible. The cheeseburger was a classic done right – the patty’s succulent meatiness harmoniously complemented by the rich, melting cheese. Every component of the meal showcased a commitment to quality and a deep understanding of classic American comfort food.
In summary, Johnny Rockets, The Original Hamburger, delivers an experience that goes beyond just good food. It’s a culinary journey wrapped in an ambiance of retro charm, made complete by staff who truly understand the essence of hospitality.

It was great to see them introduce a plant based menu. It was a busy place full of activity and people on Sunday. The food was decent (what I would call Chinese food for the majority of US people) food. It wasn’t overly spicy. Decent food that arrived quickly.
The crispy eggplant was very sweet. I think this was sweet forward.
Mapo tofu was decent.

This is great Chinese food. Slightly more upscale than most American Chinese joints. Ask for anything you like—they’ll take care of you! The menu is not huge like spots in ID-Chinatown, but everything I’ve tried and my family has tried has been superb! Highly recommend.





Philly cheese steak sandwich was tasty but was difficult to eat without a fork and knife. Shredded steak was tender and tasty, onions and cheese were cooked perfectly. Bun was too soft but was at least slightly toasted. Avocado on top was good but made it difficult to eat this sandwich without a fork.
Tried a cappuccino, which was so bitter tasting that I had to return it which they removed from my bill.
Comfortable and spacious seating.
Overall, comfortable place for an overpriced lunch in downtown Seattle.

Delicious! A little pricey, but worth it. The menu offers some pretty unique items, so if you like to try new dishes, you can’t go wrong here.





If you're in Seattle and wanting Chinese food with great drinks, this will always be my go to spot. Very friendless service and Fred is great at the bar. Food was absolutely delicious. The wings were great and the shrimp were to die for and they had a great crowd on Saturday evening

Overpriced for very small portions, & brown salad, but the fries were good. The cocktails were EXTREMELY overpriced, and not well made. Based upon other reviews, we thought this was a great place to try, but 1 sandwich w/fries & 2 cocktails was $72 before adding a tip. Our waitress was very friendly, but didn’t seem to care that the salad she served us was brown & unappetizing.

This is a great little lunch spot. Fast service. The food is good. The salad is what I order with gyro and it's perfect. I wish I knew what was the spices in the veggie mix. I only get to come when I work in the city which is only a few times of month if at all. So it would be nice to recreate the meal myself.


I am enamored by the experience I had here. What an absolute gem of the Emerald City. I’m vegetarian and they had a whole menu catered to my taste. Hands down the BEST Sesame Tofu I’ve EVER had! I am new to the city, and I’m SO excited to make this a regular spot for my wife and I.
And the dining experience is so clean! They take such good care of you while you’re here! To top it off, they even box the food up to go for you, taking all the work away from you, so you can have a relaxing meal in their care. This is one of those places that you tip 33%.
Oh, and it’s family owned and ran, and they are so kind and sweet. I can not say enough about this place. Just please try it for yourself

Lived Damn the Weather! Had fabulous cocktails, a wonderful meal and our waitress was great. I loved the decor. (My husband even asked about the origin of the restaurant's name. See if your server knows.) We'll definitely be going back!




Separate plant based Chinese food menu, that's served almost all day. The crispy eggplant has a very well balanced sauce. It could use more actual eggplant. The Mongolian duck is good, it tastes like something homemade. I'd skip the spicy dragon mushrooms, they're bland, and have too much fried coating. Overall there's a wide variety of vegetable and tofu dishes. No dessert though :(. Service is wonderful! Very friendly and attentive staff.





Their plant-based menu is a must for vegetarians and vegans! This was the first place we ate at when we visited the city and it was an amazing choice! So happy this place was recommended to us by a fellow vegan. We ordered the orange mock duck and the sesame tofu and we left feeling so full and satisfied! I would absolutely love to come back here again. And great service too! Easy walking distance from tourist attractions like the Space Needle, Seattle Center, Olympic Sculpture Park, etc.

Quick lunch place but the flavor is not as good as the dinner option located in Belltown

Decent Mediterranean food, can NOT be compared to the top ones in east side like garlic crush or med kitchen. But still good for quick lunch. Their lamb/ beef gyro looks like cube meat which is not appetizing, and something they can improve on.

Came here for drinks and appetizers. The inside was so cute and quaint and the lighting was dim and perfect. Good atmosphere for sure. We got the cheese plate which was delicious. We also got the fries which my picture turned out blurry but they were decent with a great aïoli dipping sauce. We also got the cracker jacks which was a nice sweet bite. The drinks were ok felt like they were pretty weak especially after having 3 and didn't feel like I had much of a buzz which is rare for me. Overall the service was decent and no complaints there.


If you want quick food here is the place. Follows a sub way style ordering but Mediterranean style. Step 1- choose a sandwich , rice , salad or soup. Step 2-choose your protein - chicken, falafel, gyro
Step 3 - choose your veggies
Step 4 - choose your sauces
I had taken the lemon style salad and it was decent. Not the best but it filled my tummy.

Very cool little breakfast spot. The line was fairly long but moved efficiently. The blazing bagel sandwich was amazing and just big enough for two meals. Very friendly and helpful staff as well.

Falafel was cold and dry. The olives are just regular canned olives. Food was fine but the quality and portion size did not justify the price

Popular place - when I arrived the line to order was out the front door onto the sidewalk, but they did a great job preparing food quickly and moving people along. I ordered a salad with chicken, mixed veggies, garlic sauce, and side of falafel. The greens were fresh and good quality, chicken was good but not overly flavorful, garlic sauce was quite garlicky (recommeded). I don't typically like fresh cucumber, but the mixed veggies were seasoned nicely. Falafel was very dry, but I think it might be because they are baked and not fried - which is healthier but they are the driest falafel I've ever eaten and were difficult to eat on their own but did work well when I broke them up and mixed into the salad. I will return for lunch again because they are fast and have fresh ingredients.






Reasonable prices, good food, great service. Everything was very tasty, my favourite was the platter of dips, particularly the labneh.



Nice and cozy little place nestled inside the W Seattle. We were staying at the hotel so it was convenient to have breakfast here a few of the days. My wife had the breakfast burrito both days, she loved it. I had the biscuit and gravy. The flavour was on point but I wish it was saucier, it was a bit on the dry side. Overall a solid spot. For a small joint they had quite a few options to appease everyone.




Cozy restaurant on the corner that we found by accident. If you’re in the area, support a local business! They certainly need it in downtown Seattle. I had a vegetarian Mediterranean bowl which included; falafel, yellow rice, romaine lettuce, corn, cucumber, tomato, olives, etc. The two of us ate for $22. Fast service and great quality. Staff were awesome! I hope to return and try their lentil soup and hummus.
