I only had time to grab the Croissant Breakfast sandwich to go but it was delicious and large. Great deal for $7.00. Total mom and pop place. You can tell they take great care in preparing their food. The ambience is bare bones and nothing to write home about but plenty of tables. If I worked in this area I would probably come here regularly. Hope they're able to keep it going.

Such a joy in the mornings for breakfast! A small family run establishment, you’re greeted with joyful hellos and can grab a quick affordable breakfast sandwich.If you come in the front entrance of the building, take the first elevator on the right down to the A/B level.

Don't let the shady looking entrance scare you away from this place. I was tentative, but the nice lady that took my order treated me like family. The food was very good, there was plenty of it, and I didn't spend a lot of money. I'll be back!

Hidden in the garage of an office building, my expectations were low, but they were exploded by the delicious poke, and warm, friendly service. Atmosphere was as nice as you can get for a simple, underground place. Free WiFi

This place is a hidden gem. I went there for the first time today after seeing some good reviews and they 100% came through. I had the spicy bulgogi beef bowl and it was delicious, not too spicy, and a good portion for just $10. The lady who took my order was so nice; I will definitely be back soon!

I live about 2000 miles from Seattle and think about this place so much. My friend and I got off the plane extremely exhausted and overwhelmed and decided to check out the restaurant in an alley. It was the first thing we had eaten all day after a crazy flight and hotel situation. It was absolutely incredible. The owners are amazing people and their food is top notch. Next time I'm in Seattle you better believe I'll be back.

The Original Deli is not easy to find, because it's hidden in an alley in between the Steinway Piano store and a parking garage in downtown Seattle. Haven't been here for years since it was run by a very kind middle aged Korean gentleman. Now it's run by an older Korean couple. The interior is now very open and no longer like a cramped mini grocery. It's an OG mom & pop teriyaki, breakfast, etc. hole in the wall deli. The interior is old and dingy. Service is like a typical Korean mom with smiles and a warm spirit of hospitality that is uncommon these days. Even with Bidenflation, $15 will fill you up with a bulgogi bowl topped with 2 fried omelettes, Cali rolls & salad. The sauce was a bit sweet for my taste but it's affordable Korean comfort food, perfect for a quick breakfast/lunch. Support your local restaurants & small businesses ?
Super nice Korean owners. Great food at an unbeatable price.

This is a must stop for a quick and easy breakfast. The first morning we ordered 2 breakfast croissants. They were packed with ingredients. Not sure I can remember everything in them but lots of egg, ham, bacon, cheese and tomato for $7.00. The next day we ordered the breakfast burritos. We ordered and too them to go to eat on the pier. Soooo good! The owner is super sweet and kind. You have to walk down an ally but don't let this stop you!

The owners are so nice! They care about their business and it shows in their food. Each meal is packed with care. Their prices are slightly below typical downtown lunch prices.
