“We say goodbye to Seattle. Ending where we started! Delicious authentic Japanese cuisine (gobbled the soba and a few other treats before snapping a picture). Plus a stop for me next door to Hannyatou to say goodbye to my sake sensei, Ritsko!“
“This is my favorite spot in Greenwood. The phos and the beef salad are excellent. And, the portions are big. Each time we visit I leave very full. The first time we came on a Friday around 6:30 and had to wait about 45 minutes. Since then, we've arrived earlier at 5:30, and there hasn't been a wait. So, it's all about coming it at the right time. Even if you do have to wait, I think it's worth it.“
“The food here is absolutely incredible. I’ve been coming for almost a decade and the quality has never changed. The service is incredible, the owners are amazing and charismatic, and the desert port wine selection is fantastic. (Don’t forget the Underberg!) The decor is only a reflection of the flavors in the food and of the stylings of the owners themselves. It’s funny to say but the bathrooms are actually one of my favorite parts of the experience. There is neighborhood parking and a large outdoor patio to enjoy a glass of wine and mingle with strangers as you wait for a table inside as there is only standing room outside which I can imagine is by design as you will see a wide range of folks that go to Bizzarro. The wealthy Wallingford Wilco’s and your regular Seattle weirdos, all coming to enjoy a hidden gem of Seattles culinary scene that has never truly gotten the shine it deserves. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well deserved and earned.Vegetarian options: Ask your server! Very accommodating service.Dietary restrictions: Ask and you shall receive…Parking: Get good! It’s Seattle! Find your street parking! However you could be smart and call a ride or take public transportation for the opportunity for more wine! ?Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed. Can only accommodate up to party’s of 8! Call ahead to see if there is space.Wheelchair accessibility: It is a tight space but you could manage. I recommend calling ahead of time to allow for proper preparation of a table for a better dining experience. Restrooms may require assistance depending upon the severity of the disability.“
“Wow! What an amazing array of authentic dishes. Loved my tea egg and plum juice. The food was so flavorful, spicy, fresh and so tasty! The menu “app” was easy to order from with photos and descriptions, if you weren’t familiar with menu items. Items were well priced as well. This is definitely on my list for every time I come to Seattle!“
“A very delicious Chinese spicy ramen shop.If you are a serious ramen fan, you will be disappointed here. But if you want to eat a bowl of delicious spicy noodles, this is definitely a good choice. Although the soup of spicy ramen is not full of umami, it really has the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns, which is really good. The barbecued pork noodle soup is also very delicious. Although the signature Malaysian fried chicken is also popular, I personally think it is too salty and drowns out other flavors. Even the spicy noodles have no taste at all.“
“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!“
“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!“
“We had a lovely lunch at this location. I wasn't familiar with the ordering process but it was explained to us. Service was great and friendly. The ramen was incredible. I ordered the classic vegan ramen with tofu and nori and the vegan gyoza. Everything was great! My husband and I aren't from the area and we actually wanted to make it back for a 2nd meal here but it didn't work with our plans. We still talk about wishing we could eat here again. We had so much good food on our Seattle visit and will most definitely make our way back Danbo when we visit again.“
“Picked up a couple Balikbayan Boxes with wine and juice pairings from my cousins, Aaron & Amber. Everything was PNW sourced, fresh, and generously packed w/so much care and sentiment. I highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back next year for a dine-in experience. Maraming salamat, guys! Mahal kita!♥️“
“Simple and easy service. The pho is real good, the broth is legit. The prices are good for Seattle area.Man, you can’t really make pho broth any better. They perfected the broth recipe. I’d eat here again.The parking is tight and seems a bit messy. The area is pretty ghetto but it is what it is.Parking: Free parking on site but very limited during busy hours.“
“The best Thai food in West Seattle. Everything was amazing. A true gem. Service- service is take out only. you call them to let them know you are outside and they bring it out to you. The lady working was extremely nice. Their prices are really good too.“
“So delicious! Kin Len is walk in only and you’re placed on a waitlist. Once your name is called you’re seated. We were a party of 5 that came in on Sunday night. We waited about 20 minutes after putting our name down. I ordered a Thai iced tea and the pad see eeiw with chicken. Both were amazing and so delicious! I loved my drink and the noodles were flavorful and a good portion too. I asked to make it spicy and it was perfect.“
“The atmosphere is bright and cheerful. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic! I had the #1 pho noodle soup. The bowl is huge, and there was surprisingly alot of meat in the bowl. The broth! The broth was amazing and a perfect balance of flavors. Highly suggest eating here!“
“First time here. Ramen is as good as the capital hill location, the music was a bit too loud for my liking, but that's Fremont. I sat at the bar and it was very intuitive to order via QR code, the food was there in less than 10 minutes.“
“I moved to ID just to be within walking distance of this amazing place. This is my favorite food in all of ID!!! There’s not a single bad dish on this entire menu. No matter what time you order or who’s working, it’s always fantastic. The meats are always cooked perfectly, the noodles exquisite and the quality of their veggies are S+ They’re very accommodating to food requests and the ladies up front are always so kind!“
“The best affordable Thai in the area. Service is quick, friendly and the chef is amazing. I prefer to put my order in online so I can pick up quickly...Personally I wish the location was better. There's a bunch of homeless who hang out who will break windows on the shell gas station. Last time I was by I had to sit in my car with the doors locked because a guy was screaming and throwing the trash can around at cars and people.Not the food trucks fault! Wish SPD took the violence at this Shell more seriouslyVegetarian options: Can do any dish vegetarian“
“By far the best food I had in Seattle!!!The portions are plentiful and it’s really, really delicious!!The mapo tofu is filled with very soft tofu, and as soon as you take a bite, you get a really delicious Mala flavor, and it's just a very impressive taste...? The fried chicken is warm and crispy, and the delicious seasoning is evenly coated, and it's not chewy at all, and it's just really delicious! And if you eat the noodles as is and add a lot of chili oil, it tastes really refreshing without the need for hangover soup!! It's just really delicious haha“
“The lighting in the restaurant is warm-toned, which makes for a comfortable dining experience. There’s a beautiful wall mural; the colors tie in really well to the furniture. The server was patient and willing to answer questions about the menu. I enjoyed the shrimp tempura and the accompanying sauce. They offered chopsticks as well, which I appreciated. Overall a lovely dining experience.Vegetarian options: Lots of grilled vegetable and tofu dishes.“
“Hey, Thai restaurant specializing in cuisine of the Isan region of Thailand, which apparently features less curries and more grilled meats and spicy salads than the Bangkok style cuisine. Most Americans are used to. The offerings were certainly unique (and the pork jerky was delicious!) but I felt the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Certainly worth trying though if you’d like to sample something beyond the typical pad Thai/pad see ew!Vegetarian options: There are fewer vegetarian options here(meat dishes are more emphasized in Isan cuisine), but they are available“
“After getting hand made noodles in Oakland, I was seriously craving some upon my return. Dumpling the noodle satisfied this craving and made it into my list as a vegetarian spot for going on dates. Absurdly good food, with one split place of the chili vegetarian lamen, mushroom buns and the shiitake bokchoy dumplings I felt as if I’d been through an entire feast with my partner.Ingredients, presentation and price is all incredible for the value. One of my favorites!“
“Ordered the Peking duck, just half and half mixed veggies. As last time I attended this restaurant, I'm still ordering the same duck. Haven't tried other items, but some day I will. If you happened to try different menus, I recommend this one. (There is a process to make Peking duck , so is the reason for the price).“
“For over 15 years, this has been my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. They offer so many delicious dishes, tucked away in a parking lot, you wouldn't expect much from this place. However, as soon as you step inside, it feels like a little oasis. Even though I don't live in Seattle anymore, I still dream about their dishes.“
“Every dish I’ve had here stands out compared to pretty much every other Thai restaurant. Which is not easy to do in this area. However it does come with a slight price increase that I feel is often worth it, often not always.The inside is on the small side but the layout provides a nice separation that makes you feel like you’re in a larger space. The decor is nice and clean. The materials are fairly high quality. This spot has decent natural lighting, but this does make it feel a bit odd because the day I can was dull and it reflected inside. Meh, I could see my food just fine, just wish they had more lights.Their service is also just ok. Nothing special and far from bad. They are nice. I was able to get seated right away during happy hour. I’ve been here before and also passed by many times and this place has never been packed. Not sure why when they have these amazing dishes. Maybe the price for the area makes this more of a luxury despite being better priced than many of the nicer restaurants in the area.I can say their food taste absolutely delicious. Every meal I’ve had was better than anywhere else in the area. They also offer many dishes I just don’t find anywhere around here. On my last visit I tried the jackfruit salad and 2 different crab based dishes.The jackfruit salad was over powered by the fish sauce flavor and I couldn’t eat more than 2. Needs more salad or maybe something else to help cut or spread the saltiness.My Kanom Jean Numya Pu had amazing flavor and texture, but was for sure not worth the high price I paid. Everything about it was underwhelming but the flavor. I’m glad I experienced it, but wish I had ordered something different.The curry softshell crab was spot on. No complaints with this dish. The proportions made sense and there was actually enough crab to satisfy. Every other dish I’ve had at this location was a similar experience to how I felt about the crab curry. Unique, tasty, decent portion, prices appropriate.I highly recommend planning a simple date night here or even just getting a solo plate. You for sure can find cheaper or more expensive, but eating here almost corrects the judgement bar of what middle quality Thai food is. No this isn’t the most fancy Thai restaurant and no it’s not a hole in the wall. To be honest I’d rather come here than several of the fanciest Thai restaurants I’ve been to. Can’t wait to come back.Vegetarian options: I wouldn’t say they spell it out so much, but they have many dishes that come without meat.“
“To be honest, this wasn’t for me. I did not enjoy the noodles I had at all. Although the honey chicken wings were probably the best wings I have ever had in my life, they’re really crispy and full of flavor. I would highly recommend them above anything else.“
“definitely in my top seattle spots! food always hits the spot, prices are pretty affordable - for our order, we pay less than $30 and have some food leftover. my boyfriend and i usually get a loco moco and a ginger chicken (with mac salad, sub white rice for spam fried rice), and it’s always a delight. honestly haven’t tried anything else because these are so good!pro tip - call ahead for pick up, we always call when we’re just headed out. food takes around 20 min if not more, so it’s nice to not wait too long. all the food is togo anyway + limited indoor seating to eat the food on the spot.“
“My wife and I ordered take out. She's a foodie and harsh critic but had nothing but glowing reviews for the dishes we ordered. We usually get pho from a few other spots on Aurora but we're going to stick to this place for the time being. Very impressed! Pairs well with Rainier “
“We had delicious takeout from here. You won’t find the basic normal dishes that you might find on other menus, but you’ll find some much more. We were able to find the equivalent if not better of the dishes that we were craving and normally go for. We ordered for pick up on the apps and it was hot and ready when we got there.the wings were pretty dang good as well with a nice big fish flavor.“
“Embark on a culinary journey at Alki Pho, where impeccable service and tantalizing flavors converge to create an unforgettable dining experience. introduced by a friend Angela H for her sister's wedding reception, I was astounded by the remarkable service and delectable dishes this hidden gem has to offer. Truly a haven for food enthusiasts!“
“As a Vietnamese, I can be picky and have high expectations with Viet food. Because The Boat has a very simple menu, they delivered - in speed and quality. The chicken was crispy and moist, the mì trộn noodles was well seasoned, the soup was yummy. We also got the pandan waffle and that was quite nostalgic. Highly recommend!“
“Easily one of my preferred Thai places. I am normally not a yellow curry girl anymore, but a couple years back I got their yellow curry on a whim and have not stopped being low-key obsessed since. My boyfriend and I also agree their Pad Thai is one of the better ones available in the city. I just moved out of the neighborhood and I'm gonna miss walking down the street to pick-up, but I will make the effort to go out of my way and pick-up from here periodically.“
“Consistent, good prices, great people and atmosphere. I’m glad we have this place soclose to home. Pho and Banh mis baby!! All the food is delicious, seriously.Parking: My only gripe is the parking. There simply isn’t much around so you may have to park around the block and walk in, first world problems I know.“
“Only Pho place I got to . Have been going here for a decade . I've tried other pho only to waste my time and money with dish water broth n booty sweat. No this place is different and will always have excellent food . Crips clean and rich favor.“
“This was my first time eating here and the Pho was excellent. Was also my 1st time eating shrimp Pho and it was delicious. Everything was fresh and the broth some of the best I've ever had. The lemonade had a unique flavor also and is a hidden gem on the menu. I'll be back soon for sure.“
“I used to frequent this place often for their vegetarian food. Recently, I revisited and discovered that it's been under new management for the past four years. They've remodeled the interior and made some improvements. The place looks much nicer than before, and they have an entirely new menu. The staff were friendly but a bit slow. The food is still pretty good, although the prices have increased significantly. They now offer longer hours than before. Overall, it remains a great spot for Vietnamese vegetarian cuisine.“
“I love this place, I always get the sweet and sour shrimp with the shrimp fried rice and then pour the sauce from sweet and sour over my rice OMG DE-LISH!!!Parking: There is parking right in front and more on the side of building or strip mall.“
“I went for the first time with my friend who had been here before. I thought it was delicious and unique. The Chiang Mai Curry Noodle was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. The coconut ice cream was great, served with lychee and palm jelly. I will be back.“
“I'm no ramen expert, but Arashi is so freaking good! They've been in business a long time, and even though it's pretty much no frills, the service is great and the ramen is just fantastic! It can be hard for me to remember that salty instant ramen isn't what's authentic because, well, salt is delicious - but skip the sodium and enjoy truly flavorful ramen here!“
“Came here on a Sunday night for dinner and ordered off the happy hour menu. Most of the tables were full despite making reservation. We ended up sitting at the bar. We had five items: Dan Dan noodles, chicken wings, broccoli, shrimp egg roll and pork short ribs. Everything came out quickly and was so delicious! This is definitely elevated Chinese food. Dan Dan noodles has such savory aroma that it was love at first bite. ? The waiters were definitely busting their chops to get everyone served. Will definitely come back to try other menu items.“
“This place is amazing and the food is SO good!! So many unique dishes (and I’d guess authentic but can’t speak from personal experience), and the staff are so nice — they pack everything in containers and tape them closed, and then staple the bags closed so they’re safe and secure for takeout. Call-in orders for pickup only! Same owners run Pestle Rock next door, and Jhanjay Vegetarian Thai Cuisine Wallingford. Photos of my favorites: KROB KEM: plantain chips! Shaved thin and deep fried with a sweet syrup on top TANG GWA SALAD: veggies, jicama, pineapple, and toasted coconut with lime vinaigrette GUAY TIOW KUAR: stir-fried, wide rice noodles, veggies, and Thai sriracha sauce on the side BA MEE GIOW MUU DANG: ground pork dumplings, egg noodles, veggies, and BBQ pork (soup broth in separate container)“
“Been wanting to try this place for a while, line is always long at peak hours! Today got their right when they opened for lunch. Chicken karaage was probably the best I've ever had, the spicy mayo sauce was great, definitely not just mayo and Sriracha. I got the hybrid dipping ramen - noodles were great, perfect chew. Broth was very tasty - not spicy at all, would maybe have liked a little more spice next time. Pork belly was nice and tender, very melt in your mouth. Would have liked a bit more caramelization on my piece. Staff very friendly. Fast service. I tried my friends tonkatsu broth - also great. Definitely top 5 ramen places in Seattle.“
“Homey spot for fresh dumplings. This place was great! Their dumplings warm and not doughy. The Xiao long bao was quite tasty. For an evening dinner after a long day, this was worth it.If you get the chance, please support this small business along with the others nearby as the very much need it.“
“The food is good - I ordered takeout and picked it up on my way to the train station. Cute packaging….but there are no eating utensils, napkins or even sauce for my dumplings!!! I understand not including especially utensils and napkins - that turns into garbage. But at least ask if one needs it when you hand over the order! And for sure include the sauce with the dumplings. Who ever heard of such a thing??“
“Came here with a big group for a birthday. I was thoroughly impressed with everything we ordered, it was a family style meal with lots of dishes and plenty of second helpings. Our group ran the gamut for spice tolerance, vegan, and food allergies but there was plenty of overlap on dishes most of us could eat. The peppery flavors of the meal were such a delight to the palette, slightly numbing in some cases but never too spicy hot, there are even several peppery drinks on the menu that are sure to wow. My favorite was the chicken, but my friends loved the sweet and buttery flavor of the hen of the forest which was definitely my runner-up. Service was also excellent, everything came out quickly, our waters were topped up, and the servers were friendly and knowledgeable on the dishes. Definitely looking forward to the next time!“
“I really like this place for its Beef Biang Noodles. There pretty decently spicy, and have the usual chewy noodles your expect. I usually get the one without soup. They also have some decent spicy wontons. Beyond those two, I think their other stuff is pretty okay (I had the pot stickers before, and they were okay). You can allay get milk tea and smoothies here, but I don't think they're known for them. I did like my Honeydew Smoothie here, though. Overall, I do recommend checking it out, if you're in the area.“
“My Taiwanese parents thought all of the noodle soups we ordered were delicious! And they have high standards. Not easy to find great food like North Noodles and Dumplings. We are so glad we decided to try it out last night. Taiwanese beef noodle soup, chive dumplings/ beef stew.... Sorry I don't remember the English names. And my son loved the won tons and xiao long Bao as well. Service was excellent too! She was busy but still kind and friendly to us.“
“Food is excellent but on take out orders there is too much sauce and leaks through the takeout container into the bag. Last time there was hole in the bag and the sauce dripped everywhere before I realized. Need better containers or to use less sauce.“
“Wow, really tasty food. Had 2 Bahn mi's - tofu and pork. Both loaded with fillings, they definitely didn't skimp. Also tried the fresh rolls/summer rolls, and the peanut sauce is fantastic! Parking was easy, ordering was easy, food came super fast, prices were cheap, all around a totally satisfying experience and this will be a future stop for sure. The owner did make it Crystal Clear that starting on 3/1/24, their prices are going to increase by a dollar, I think is amount he said.“
“The pho is really freaking good, and the prices are the best for what you get. The atmosphere is non existent, but at these prices and quality, I'm fine with that.Great lunch spotWheelchair accessibility: I don't think a wheelchair would have an easy time navigating the tight space...“
“I wish I could give Pho Viet Anh more than five stars. It is a fantastic place for a quick snack before a Seattle Kraken game. The best part is that Pho Viet Anh is a quick walk to the Climate Pledge Arena, less than a 10-minute walk. Everything we got was delicious and filling. The pork and shrimp salad roll was outstanding, a great start to the meal, and the icing on the cake was the King Special noodle soup. The next time we are in Seattle, we will make a return and try the other items they offer.“
“Came here during seattle restaurant week and took advantage of the great deal! I got the curry vermicelli bowl with tofu and it was very spicy but the kitchen was nice enough to add a bit more coconut milk to make it more mild. The hokkien wok noodles were also spicy but a lot more tolerable for me (I typically can't handle spice very well). The vietnamese coffee creme brulee was yummy and I would love to get it again! Super cute interior with snowboards and nice dim lighting. Great spot for a date night and I like the unique fusion menu“
