"Came here starving after driving off the ferry! I was so happy to find this place off in the corner of a strip mall off the highway. Stuff tried:Enchiladas espinaca: spinach enchiladas which i havent seen on many menus. Great garlicky spinach inside two enchiladas. With the mexican rice and refried beans, a nice meal. Chile relleno: i almost always try this dish whenever i see it on the menu! I asked if i could get this a la carte (not listed as an option on menu) and they were nice enough to accomodate. Version here is pretty solid and the pepper still has a tiny bit of spicy heat! Complimentary tortilla chips were very fresh out of the fryer and were great with excellent salsa! Do yourself a favor and ask for some extra salsa to pour on everything."

"Wassup baby just stopped by here to grab some grib. Check it out - the Bahn Mi here is okay. Good bread but not so much meat and no jalepenos. Service was good and decent prices too. Like $15.00 for the whole meal. I'd highly recommend this place y'all. 5 stars."

Modena Pizza & Pasta

★★★★☆ 4 (190) • $$

"I'm conflicted between 3 and 4 stars because I'd divide it into pizza and pasta. To start - the pasta wasn't that good. However, the pizza was delicious! I was craving Italian because one of my roommates was heating up some pizza bites and so I stumbled upon Modena on Grubhub. Food was prepared quick and still steaming hot when I received it. Credits to both Modena and the driver for that.I was looking forward to tasting some chicken parm but the one here wasn't quite satisfying. The chicken was made well and perfect when coupled with cheese, but the rest of the dish was mediocre. Honestly it was simple noodles doused with marinara topped with a piece of chicken that received all the love. Would have rather made my own pasta and added chicken.That being said, most if not all pasta dishes are accompanied with garlic bread and another side. Those sides include more bread, salad, or soup. Personally, I chose the soup of the day to be surprised and it was chicken noodle soup. I almost chose extra bread, but I'm glad I didn't. The garlic bread was fluffy but rather bland. Chicken noodle soup was super hot but creamy and delicious.On the other hand, pizza was fluffy and simply looked appealing which added to the overall taste. It was not overly saucy and allowed the toppings to shine. I opted for the Meat 10" with pepperoni, ham, sausage, and salami. I was able to appreciate each meat's flavor due to the minimal sauce versus a fast food joint where they may be a bit underwhelming."

Brown Sugar Baking Company

★★★★★ 4.9 (13)

"Outstanding cake and pastries that just happen to be vegan. I am not a vegan - but we do have a vegan in the family.Our daughter (a vegan) asked that we have Brown Sugar create her 21st b-day cake. It was well worth the drive from the Eastside to Seattle.While picking up the cake I spied some chocolate-dipped shortbread cookies that I simply could not resist.- Cake: 5 stars. 6 inch round chocolate mousse. Three layers dark choco cake layered in dark choco mousse and covered in creamy choco frosting and also covered in ganache, with a couple of large strawberries on top.My gosh! Wonderfully moist, soft, dense cake with just the right amount of sweetness. We had 8 people. The quantity was plenty, and we were all sated.- Shortbread cookies: 5 stars. Incredible! Nice weight and thickness in the hand that screamed to be devoured. Three of us shared - including my partner who loves shortbread cookies and found these to be a premium experience.Gluten-free versions also available.The owner was a pleasure to deal with.We'll order again from Brown Sugar Baking...."

9th & Hennepin

★★★★★ 4.6 (71)

"Donuts and Tom Waits' music are two of my favorite things, so 9th and Hennepin has been on my must-try list for a while. After a failed attempt to visit his shop in Delridge (it was closed), it was awesome having the chance to visit his truck in Ballard this morning. Donuts were fresh and pretty yummy. Flavors were unique and not over-powering. Southern California still has the best donuts of anywhere I've tried, but 9th and Hennepin is a close second."

"Wow on finding this gem today! Came hungry, left with half my meal in a box! Generous servings, decent pricing and fabulous staff!! I ordered the two meat stone pot, bulgogi beef and keto chicken, both are excellent! I grabbed a coconut water and some hot tea. Restaurant is clean and well stocked. I can't say enough about how welcoming the staff (owners?) are. They hold the door when they can, I witnessed that twice during the 40 minutes ish I was here. Amazing folks and fab food, I'll be back!"

Cafe Flora

★★★★☆ 4 (1599) • $$

"What a beautiful cafe with delicious options! Came here on a Sunday morning at opening time and it wasn't too crowded. They have a little parking lot on the side. Service was very warm and friendly. We were seated in their greenhouse looking room and it was so pretty! Love the atmosphere here! We started our morning with the golden milk latte and the passion fruit nog. Both tasty. The nog is on the more tart side and reminds me of a smoothie. Food: + cinnamon roll- pretty tasty! + mochi beignets - tasty but not as fluffy as we'd like. More of a dense cake texture and the sauce kind of made it taste similar to a jelly donut! + egg frittata with peppers and mushrooms. This was super good and we paired it with the cheesy grits! Grits were also really tasty! Ask for a side of hot sauce, it pairs well with the eggs. Overall, this spot is a little pricey but the ambiance, service, and food made for a really nice experience!"

"There is an entire vegan menu with tons of options from soups to sandwiches to pizzas, etc. I had the eggplant parmesan (vegan) and the pea soup, also vegan. Both were super tasty. I will definitely be back, and with greater numbers.Great service, huge space, clean, inviting, and warm."

Osteria Da Primo

★★★★☆ 4.4 (151) • $$

"I came to ODP second time. The first time I came, I ate pizza and dessert. It was a very good pizza and service. The inside of the store has a calm atmosphere and the customer base is good and comfortable.I came to eat pizza again, but I was intrigued when I saw the special menu on the table, so I ordered prawn bisque soup, Farfalle paste with spinach pesto & burrata cheese. Rock fish in white wine with lemon & capers. Served with a vegetable. I liked fish meal and pasta was plain taste. There are so many things on the menu that I want to try, it's hard to choose. I look forward to the next time."

Zeeks Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (158) • $$

"A spacious pizza joint with great service and atmosphere. The pizzas are rather pricey but the quality has typically been decent and I enjoy their house crafted combinations. All the ones that I've tried were tasty with the Chicken Club being one of my favorites.-----Chicken Club: chicken, bacon, spinach, tomato, and red onion with an olive oil base, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and finished with oregano. Served with side of ranch ($15 for 9", $25 for 13", or $31 for 17").-----We typically order the medium size to share among a table of two to three people. They also provide the option to split the pizza in case the party has differing preferences or would like to have more variety!"

Sages Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (356)

"I love this place. Authentic Italian, even with hearing it yelled across the BOH, with exceptional food. Came with a friend and we shared the caprese, bread and brownie al la mode. I had the Wife's Favorite for my main, which is penne with sundried tomatoes, grilled chicken and shitakes in a lovely sauce. I also had a Sage's Salad which was wonderful - baby mixed greens, candied walnuts, gorgonzola, craisins with oil and balsamic vinegar. My friend had the chicken gorgonzola and inhaled it.Our waitress was a hoot and moved at the speed of lightning. My only feedback is I was told they had nothing to drink but wine. I don't drink and would appreciate some Sanpellegrino, soda, lemonade, etc."

Sizzle&Crunch

"Build-your-own Vietnamese bowl type spot. Banh mih and rice plates as options too.Build my own bowl ($13ish) with grilled pork and chicken on a vermicelli and salad base. It was awesome :)Loved the variety of sauces (get the jalapeño aioli yum!)Super kind staff, awesome outdoor dog friendly patio too."

Viva

★★★★☆ 4 (550) • $$

"We were greeted by the owner and got a brief history of her vision for servicing an all vegan, gluten-free and organic menu. Great customer service from our server. Menu special on the wall and other options on the menu. Most prices over $20 an dish. Offers coffee, juice, beer and wine. We dine in. We order the ginger wings. Delicious with and without the dipping sauce. We also enjoy the BBQ pizza. I'm not a fan of warm pineapples, but outside of that it was also delicious. We will return as there were so many other options we would like to try. The ambiance was perfect for our dining experience."

Musang Seattle

★★★★☆ 4.4 (514) • $$

"After hearing so much about this restaurant, I finally decided to give it a try. We had a reservation for 9:30 PM, which I thought was funny since they close at 10 PM. The interior has an intimate design and dim lighting. Great for catching up with friends or celebrating occasions.+ Pork Sisig (4/5): Classic! Can't go wrong. Great portion and I love that it comes out on the sizzling skillet. Very hearty and full of savory flavors. You NEED to eat this with rice. Not up for debate.+ Sinigang Na Lechon Belly (3/5): I've had better elsewhere, but it's not bad! Very rich and tangy broth. The various veggies were fresh and soaked up the broth well. The pork was the biggest let down for me. It was really tough and somewhat salty. I also felt this was a small amount for the price.+ Short Rib Kare Kare (5/5): DELICIOUS! The short rib fell off the bone from being so tender. The beef was definitely on the fatty side. I loved the addition of grean beans and eggplant. It really balanced everything together. If I'm being picky, I just wish it had more peanut butter sauce!Overall, I wouldn't say this is a MUST TRY in Seattle... but it's definitely a decent choice if you're willing to splurge. The menu is quite unique and you get good quality dishes that are recommended for groups. Family-style eating!!"

Cafe Organique

★★★★☆ 4.1 (64) • $$

"My husband and I stopped by Cafe Organique earlier today to get a take-out order. I had the Roasted Chicken Sandwich and the Persian Potato Salad. I also had the Super Detoxifier Juice and the Matcha Honey Hot Tea with Oat Milk. Everything was very flavorful. The sandwich tasted very slightly spicy, in the best way possible. The potato salad had wonderful depth and complexity of flavor for such a simple side dish. The juice tasted very fresh. The Matcha tasted slightly bitter, and I thought that pairing it with the sweet honey was a great idea - very complimentary flavors. My husband surprisingly didn't order anything. He decided to scrounge up a lunch for himself when we got home. The lady on the phone was very nice to us when we placed our take-out order. She had a pleasant and cheerful vibe.Cute store front.5 stars across the board - for both of my food choices, both of my drink choices, environment/curb appeal/cleanliness (even though we got take-out, we still notice these things), and customer service.Very happy, and we will definitely be patronizing this business again."

Shambala Bakery and Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (161) • $$

"Really cool place! They are not only gluten-free but also free of many common allergens AND extremely vegan friendly. There's a health-conscious theme here with the grain blend they use and also a whole line of adaptogen drinks. But the vibe is not "health food bar", it has a very warm and intimate, and a little quirky, cafe feel. The staff was really welcoming and helpful with all the questions I had. Order at the counter, and they bring the food to you if you're eating in. It wasn't inexcusably slow, but they take their time making the food, so this is not the place to order a meal if you're in a rush. The drinks come out much faster and if you order a baked good they'll grab it for you on the spot.I had a Red Pepper Reuben with Coleslaw, Carrot Cupcake, and Chaga Latte. I went with the vegan option for the reuben - if the vegan cheese option had just been one generic flavour, I would've gone for the "regular" version so that I could get the Swiss for my reuben, but they actually had different flavours of vegan cheese (the worker mentioned cheddar, swiss, and provolone) so you can actually get a suitable replacement for the standard recipe when you veganize here! Anyway, this sandwich was delicious! A little messy to eat because the roasted pepper and sauerkraut made it very juicy, and I think vegan cheese doesn't hold things together as well as real cheese, but the mess was worth it. The gf bun was quite good - not as tender as traditional bread, but the wholesome flavour was very nice. Their coleslaw was very interesting too, it tasted like there might've been tahini in the dressing and I was into it. The cupcake was indistinguishable from a non-gf carrot cake and the coconut frosting was really good. Finally, the latte, which I got with hemp milk, was also very nice. I'm not sure how much of the subtle nutty flavour came from the chaga and how much was just the hemp, but it was a nice change from the usual hot drinks I get. The only thing I have to criticize is why do they not have house mugs for drinks when you dine in? All the food was served on ceramic plates, but my drink came in a to-go cup, which was very disappointing. Otherwise this was a great experience - I doubt I'll have the chance to stop in Mt. Vernon again but I'll have to make a beeline for this place if I do."

The Roll Pod

★★★★☆ 4.3 (315) • $$

"I've wanted to try The Roll Pod since they were only a food truck. I never go to SLU during the weekday so I thought it'd never happen...and then I learned they have brick and mortar locations now!! I love going to Garden D'Lights so I decided to stop by here for dinner beforehand. The menu is pretty simple (basically built for a food truck) - roll or bowl - with a variety of fillings to choose from, including several veg*n options. I opted for 2 rolls with paneer masala and paneer chili. While there is a person there to cook the food, you are expected to place your own order through the touch screen or your phone. You also bus your own table if you dine it.Overall rolls were great and I'd 100% eat them again! I paid $1 extra for the chili and I feel it was mostly worth it. 2 rolls was quite filling so good portions there. My dining partner went with a half bowl made with chicken masala. It was very well received and he'd happily get it again."

Bloom

★★★★★ 4.7 (51) • $$

"The coolest thing since a bag of chips. Healthy, gluten free, dairy free and red meat free menu. The coolest since I tend to avoid dairy, red meat and gluten. Menu is simple as they gave freshly prepared items. You can choose their land box, vegan box, bloom box, sea box or built your own. I built my own: Grilled chicken, curried cauliflower, bloom grain, Japanese sweet potatoes and apple salad! With peppers! Japanese sweet potatoes are amazing as well as the apple salad. Curried cauliflower too. Chicken was a little dry but good. It was a delicious box! They have so many options. If I still live closer ( used to live 2 blocks from here), this will definitely be my daily meal."

Cinnamon Works

★★★★☆ 4 (465)

"After a long trip from SoCal we were starving for a snack since we still had lunch plans soon after. Our first stop was in the Pike Place Market area so we walked around and came across this little shop on the street. We just got a regular cinnamon roll with frosting, and got it warmed up. The cinnamon roll was simple, but from its simplicity you can feel the gooiness of the inside of the roll, and taste the cinnamon that's rolled up. The frosting adds a bit of gooiness to it as well, but honestly even if you get it without the frosting it would still taste great. There's really not much to say about the cinnamon roll other than it satisfied our sweets craving and was the perfect texture. The people working at the counter were super nice as well, and got it warmed up pretty quickly. If I'm ever in Seattle again, I do want to try out their cookies as well."

Alaska Silk Pie

★★★★★ 4.9 (12) • $$

"The pies really are as fine as silk! Really like the creme brûlée, which was exceptional. My other favorites were some of the chocolate pies and the gingerbread fountain. Loads of parking in the huge parking lot. But it was a bit hard to find as I was expecting a large sign on the outside of the building announcing the Alaska Silk Pie Company. The 5-year anniversary party was amazing! Great food, amazing pies, and interesting people."

Lotus Pond Vietnamese Cuisine

"Lotus Pond Vietnamese Cuisine is a hidden gem nestled along Aurora Ave. Browsing their menu will automatically make your mouth water. The most satisfying dish that I've had here most likely is the BH4 Banh Hoi Thap Cam Ao Sen which was savory heaven in every bite. The woven vermicelli had that perfectly cooked, delightful texture that paired harmoniously with the charbroiled pork, succulent pork meatballs, and zesty lemongrass beef. Leaving me craving more long after the last bite.The ambiance of Lotus Pond is cozy with friendly staff that make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. This spot is a must-visit if you find yourself in the area craving some delicious Vietnamese dish, your taste buds will thank you!"

Paparepas Venezuelan Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (72)

"Located in Capitol Hill, this place serves some nice arepas and empanadas. There are a few Venezuelan places in the Seattle area, most of which are a takeout / fast casual type of setting. Here, I got the Arepa Pabellon which has beef, black beans, cheese, and plantains, quite a hearty combination. I was able to choose 1 of each of the cilantro, spicy cilantro, and curry sauce, all of which are in packet form. The arepa was a little bit on the drier side, so getting a total of 3 sauce packets was the move. I personally liked the spicy cilantro the most, followed by the regular cilantro then the curry sauce. All of them were good, though. The beef also felt a little dry but flavorful, but the cheese and plantains carried forward the quality of the arepa. The food did take a little bit of time to come, probably because they were made fresh to order. Another issue I had was the tray was fairly dirty underneath, so the sanitation of the tray is a bit questionable. Aside from the misses, this is a fairly underrated restaurant for a location that gets so much foot traffic."

Ohsun Banchan Deli & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (46)

"I wish I could do 4.5 stars here!!!! I came here twice now and both times has met/exceeded my expectations. This place does banchans that you typically can get at restaurants but in bulk or at like hmart, but higher quality, in my opinion.We gotten a couple of things here and I can see myself coming back. The place is really nice and bright and the people are pretty nice. They have food where you can order as well as a refrigerated section where you can do fast take outs.Kimbap - pretty solid - I like the interesting sauce that they have to go a long with it. My only critique was that it was a little loosely wrap so it fell apart after being in my car on the way home.Japchae and marinated squid -- both are super good, you can definitely tell they use high quality ingredients for these and prices are not bad either. Love the flavor and texture of both.I definitely want to try their other dishes and see what they come up next.Parking in pioneer square is a pain but I think that is expected already."

Vivi Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.9 (541) • $$

"After a winetasting adventure nearby, a group of us stopped in at Vivi Pizzeria for dinner. We chose to eat our Vivi orders with a group already seated at Patterson Cellars next door.This area is cozy and super popular with great food and drinks available all around. We shared the yummy Brussels Sprouts Salad which was slightly sweet and good for you (eat your veggies!). A few dishes we had were the Spaghetti Carbonara, Lasagna and a Pasta made vegan with sauteed vegetables. I tried each of these dishes and they were prepared well and we all enjoyed them. I like my Carbonara a bit less creamy and with smaller diced Guanciale but Vivi made their version work well and I liked it. Vivi was very accommodating to make a vegan pasta dish with sauteed vegetables for our party and it was very delicious. I like how they will bring the food from the restaurant over to Patterson Winery for you almost like they are the same ownership. They all seem very friendly and helpful in this area.Great food and great company! Give Vivi a try!"

Frankie & Jo's - University Village

★★★★☆ 4.2 (104) • $

"Last summer, I was getting a ton of ice cream recommendations when I was visiting (not too sure, prob because it was hot LOL) from my Seattleite friends. This was one of the places, and I never had the chance to check it out until recently after dinner at U Village. Couldn't wait for some vegan ice cream after dinner!The location that my boyfriend and I went to is located across of Bamboo Sushi in the University Village. It was dark, so we used our maps to get to where we had to and surprisingly it worked! There are huge parking lots all around the entire mall with ample parking stalls. Might need to park a little further from everything during busy hours and during the weekends.I got their Mint Brownie as those are two of my favorite things in one! Mmm! Such a strong minty flavor. The star of the ice cream! The brownie was basically just a sidekick that gave the overall ice cream some texture, which I loved! My boyfriend got the Supercookies & Cream. Surprisingly really creamy for a vegan ice cream! Really great flavors together too. I actually liked his more than mine LOL. Also, a favorite combination of mine. I know what I'll be getting the next time! They also had seasonal ice creams which didn't seem interesting to me at the time. But definitely will try a seasonal flavor one day if the two flavors we got don't lure me in first LOL.This ice cream chain is definitely worth the hype! I've always been a bit skeptical with vegan ice cream as it's usually a hit or miss, but this time around, it was definitely a great hit! The prices, tho, are a bit wild for the amount we got. Don't know if it's because we went to the U Village location (where spaces are hella expensive) or if it's just that pricey in general."

Geni's Ethiopian Corner

★★★★★ 4.8 (37)

"Yummy Ethiopian food with awesome staff! I saw the stand for Geni's Ethiopian Corner during the Night Market Festival in the International District, so decided to check them out, especially since they were grilling up veggies and meats that smelled oh so good! For the menu, there were only two options - vegetarian and a beef/meat combination, so went with the meat combination. The meat combination came with beef tibs, injera bread and choice of two sides; I chose kale and lentils. Although there was a line of people waiting for their food, the wait didn't take too long. And before I was given my plate, the chef kindly went over the two different sauces, a mild and spicy sauce that they had in bottles for people to help themselves to. My meal was good! I liked the beef tibs a lot more than I thought I would, as they were sauteed well, making the texture soft and easy to eat. I also liked that the meat was sauteed with onions and jalapenos, adding more spice to it. Kale and lentils were awesome sides! I really enjoyed both of them, but would say the lentils were my favorite part of the whole dish. They had a kind of spice to it, yet there was a nice citrus flavor to it, especially when you added the mild sauce from the bottle because it had a sour-like taste that was yummy! I haven't had much injera bread before, but it was a nice addition to the meal, particularly to soak up the sauce from the lentils and to roll up everything, like in a wrap. Glad to have tried Geni's Ethiopian Corner, as it provides solid Ethiopian food with a lot of flavor for around $12 on the go!"

Zeeks Pizza

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (128) • $$

"My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner from Zeek's Pizza last night. Tasty and filling, fresh and perfectly-cooked. I am happy that there is a Gluten-Free option for the crust. The Gluten-free crust is quite good. I prefer a thin, crispy pizza crust - I feel like the thick crusts often have too much bread vs toppings. These pizza crusts were thin, crispy, and cooked to a lovely golden brown. The ratio of bread to toppings was great.We ordered the "Legion of Shroom" (what a cute name for a pizza :) ) and the "Howser." I loved both of them. Very different flavors. Generous portions of greens on the Howser - basil leaves and spinach - and the red onions added the perfect zing. Generous asiago cheese on the Legion of Shroom, with delicious different mushrooms. I smiled when I went to Zeek's website to decide what to order (we got a takeout order) and noticed that there is an "Adventurous Toppings" Category, as well as a "Tomato Base" and an "Olive Oil Base." The "Adventurous Topping" on the "Legion of Shroom" pizza is caramelized onions! We liked it! Will add a few photos soon."

★★★★☆ 4.3 (148) • $$

"What a gem in the middle of no where! Everything is gluten free. There are some dairy free options but limited (would love to see more!). I got the snickerdoodle cookie and carrot cake cupcake (both dairy free). The carrot cake cupcake is the best I've had since going gluten free 9 years ago. It was soft, moist and flavorful. Icing was a little sweet but I just scraped some off. Snickerdoodle cookie was good. My husband got the crème puff and bread pudding. He loved both and the filling was generous in the crème puff. Neither were dry. Hope to pass again on our way back to Seattle.We returned today 10/16 and it was beginning of the day so the case was full! Unfortunately, the dairy free options did not change :( we did order breakfast from the kitchen. Eggs and bacon for me and hubby got the seasonal pumpkin streusel waffles. He said they were the best he's ever had in his life including before he was gluten free."
