intimate interior with a japanese garden! the capitol hill roll is a must-try if you like sweet rolls. reliable place to take visitors, they’ve all been really impressed
Momiji Seattle
such a crowd pleaser! my favorite dish is the red curry battered chicken. took some family and the bill was less than $100 for 8 people. biggg portions, affordable, and authentic thai food
Kin Len Thai Night Bites
transports you to japan! they’re known for tempura and tendon sets. definitely request the private booths in the back of the resto. I went when their menu offered seasonal fall offerings and the experience was amazing.
Tendon Kohaku
made me fall deeper in love with korean food. a must try is the braised short rib (kalbijjim) + add cheese which they torch for you on top! can get pricey, but go with a big group and try as much as you can
Daeho Kalbijjim
my go-to if im craving dim sum!! my family especially commended its authenticity and freshness. I love the shumai and rice rolls
Hong Kong Bistro
a bit infamous, but you can’t beat $15/lb!! I’ve always enjoyed my sushi here, especially the aburi (torched) salmon sushi. there’s always a good variety and they’re constantly restocking. get fob sushi then drive to golden gardens trust me
FOB SUSHI BAR
the best matcha i’ve had so far in seattle. get the einspanner if you have a sweet tooth like me — so creamy and still a great matcha flavor. there’s a little gift section with assorted snacks! it can get busy during the weekdays but i’ve always gott...
Yoka Tea: Home
I feel like this is such a seattle staple for brunch, it’s right in the heart of cap hill! i’ve celebrated my brunch here for three years in a row and I love their baked eggs and ham. such a pretty aesthetic that gives nyc vibes
Oddfellows Café + Bar
i’ve never had a bad drink here! the sesame latte is one of my favorites. i’ve found it’s busy at all times of day but that’s because it’s so good. the space is beautiful as well. so nice to stop by here then the fremont sunday market!
Aroom
one of my favorite places to study. usually a quiet atmosphere with yummy food and drinks! I was introduced to ukrainian food like pelmeni and cirniki which I now crave. definitely recommend the cirniki sampler!!
The Usual
a must try when you’re taking visitors to pike place. I love the salmon pate and beef and cheese piroshky! id say its a novel experience for most people. there’s always a line but it moves fast
Piroshky Piroshky Bakery
another yummy stop while at pike place! I love the curry humbao, it has a pineapple bun style crust on top which surprisingly pairs well. bigg portions and there’s always a line (for good reason)
Mee Sum Pastry
if you love thai food and a party atmosphere, this is the place for you!!! be warned of the spice level — I love ordering the pad see eiw with beef. the green curry is also good! most drinks taste sweet and yummy but hit you fast
Bangrak Market
such a romantic italian resto in pike place! definitely a seattle classic, and has nightly entertainment. there’s just no place like this. known for their lasagna!
The Pink Door
I loveee the soft serve here. small window where you pick-up. the yuzu and black sesame are my favorites! also sell japanese fruit sandos and parfaits
Baiten
I love coming here for the dessert toasts!! the mango is a favorite amongst me and my friends. they also sell bingsu and crepes. aesthetic atmosphere and little wall of postcards supporting local artists
Coche Valley Dessert Cafe
about $50/person for AYCE premium japanese meats including wagyu!! the sides bar is also great. there’s a two hour limit! came here after a long hike and it healed me
Niku Feast Yakiniku
I also see this as a seattle staple/classic! the hand pulled noodles have such a good texture to them. I especially love the mala beef!! definitely a crave item and somewhere to bring visitors
