All Reviews
Haidilao Hot Pot
Haidialo Hot Pot in Bellevue has terrific tom yum broth, a huge sauce bar, and high-quality meats. But the free goodies and tableside noodle dance are pretty great too.
Cafe Soleil
Stop by this Madrona Ethiopian restaurant for a dinner packed with delicious vegetarian dishes and ke’yi w’et, or during weekend brunch for frittatas, french toast, and Ethiopian press coffee.
Qiao Lin Hotpot
You'll find thin-sliced meat served on golden cow sculptures and a vast sauce bar at this Downtown hot pot destination.
Boiling Point
No need to worry about overcooking the meat at this hot pot chain—the woks come to the table with all the stuff precooked for a no-frills, but still rewarding, experience.
Happy Lamb Hot Pot
For all-you-can-eat hot pot, flavorful broths, and tables big enough for a group, head to Happy Lamb Hot Pot in the International District.
Chengdu Memory
Prioritize the herbal broth with pork stomach and roe-filled fishballs at Chengdu Memory—a family-run International District hot pot spot that isn't a giant robot-filled chain.
Ginger & Scallion
Ginger & Scallion is a small Phinney Ridge restaurant that specializes in tasty Hainanese chicken rice.
Messina Modern Italian Kitchen
The amount of oil found on a pizza from Messina Modern Italian Kitchen in Queen Anne could fuel a car—skip this spot if you plan to eat before a Climate Pledge event.
Farmboy Bites
Farmboy Bites is a food truck permanently parked at Future Primitive Brewing that serves excellent smashburgers—particularly the onion-loaded Fair Burger.
Ken's Market
Ken's Market is an ordinary Greenwood grocery store that serves an extraordinary Thursday-only smashburger from the deli counter. Swing by after 11am to grab one.
Ballard Smoke Shop
Ballard Smoke Shop is a neighborhood dive bar with locals camped out at the bar, arcade games lining the walls, and a great smashburger.
Here Today Brewing
Here Today is a not-too-crowded Belltown brewery that serves hot dogs and burgers alongside their housemade beer—but you should swing by on the weekend for tasty migas breakfast tacos.
Bizarre Brewing
The best beer in Seattle can be found at Bizarre Brewing in Magnolia—swing in with a group to try some weird stuff that works.
Halcyon Brewing
Greenwood isn't exactly a patio destination, but Halcyon Brewing has a great one—come here for some IPAs, dumplings, and furikake-topped hot dogs.
Project 9 Brewing
Project 9 is a brewery in Maple Leaf located in the middle of a busy intersection that still manages to be a ton of fun.
Georgetown Brewing Company
If you're interested in grabbing a pint of Manny's at the source, head to Georgetown Brewing.
49th Street Beast
Located inside Fair Isle Brewing is 49th Street Beast, a Beast & Cleaver outpost that serves tasty charcuterie, dry-aged meats, and fancy vegetable dishes.
Sophon
Sophon is a Greenwood restaurant that serves Khmer dishes and cocktails, but stick to the small plates and fried stuff here.
Leschi Market
Leschi Market is known for its big selection of wine and snacks, but it's the prime rib sandwich you should really stop in for.
Cotto Belltown
Cotto Belltown is an Italian restaurant that serves nicely charred Neapolitan-style pizza and tasty pasta—check it out during Happy Hour.
Tilikum Place Cafe
Tilikum Place Cafe is a Belltown breakfast institution known for powdered sugar-dusted dutch babies, but prioritize the savory stuff here.
Poke To The Max
The SeaTac Airport outpost of Poke To The Max serves the same Hawaiian classics from the original Hillman City location, and works well for a quick lunch before you spend the next five hours in a middle seat.
Lucky Louie Fish Shack
Grab some chowder and crispy fish from Lucky Louie Fish Shack, a fish and chips stand at SeaTac Airport.
