Honey butter chicken wings - IG @bougiefoodieboi
Kyle W.

I went here for a Sunday dinner for happy hour. There's a decent selection but the happy hour prices are about the same as regular price at other places. We instead focused on the Plate of Nations menu which was $35 serves 2 people - basically the MLK neighborhood version of restaurant week. - Chips and salsa and queso - the chips were decent but the salsa was thick in texture, which is not really my preference. I liked the cheese and wish they gave more than just a small sauce cup - Chicken wings - we got the honey butter and it was great - Fried Brussels sprouts - also very delicious. Amazing execution of the appetizers - Enchiladas - this is where it went downhill. The sauce was bitter and the chicken was a bit dry - Tacos - basically kind of like Taco Bell but with fresher ingredients. Happy hour it's like $12 for 2 tacos which is quite a ripoff (and extra $4-5 surcharge for other proteins beyond ground beef and chicken...) - Rice was good but I was barely able to eat the beans as it was not that good I got the raspberry mint caipirinha for the cocktail and it was really refreshing. I loved the muddled fruit that I decided to pour water into the cup as an infused water after finishing the drink In addition we had the tajin-dusted fried zucchini and that was good. I love the creamy green chile sauce which acted as a nice dip for the chips because they were so stingy with the queso dip. For dessert we tried the sopapillas which is quite airy and it's nice to try it sweet instead of savory. Service is really slow. It took us almost 3 hours to finish the meal, with lots of waiting in between courses. This needs to be improved

Birria tacos and bang bang burrito
Sean H.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and happy hour and had a pleasant time. Parking is easy since you're able to validate it in the restaurant using a QR code or something similar (I forget) on the table which was super convenient. We got seated right away. Food came out quickly. Our server was very friendly as well. Checked up on us often and was very warm. We ordered a couple drinks. They were solid and got me a bit tipsy lol. We ordered queso fries as our appetizer. It was my favorite thing we ate there. Fries were warm, crunchy, and soft in the inside. The sauce and meat tasted great too. We also ordered corn dogs off the happy hour menu - the cornbread around the dog itself was thinner than I'm used to in a normal corn dog, which I liked! It was a good bread to meat ratio and the sauce was excellent. For our main, we got the bang bang burrito and the birria tacos. The burrito was delicious. Super flavorful and the side salad was good too. Loved the dressing. The birria tacos were not the best I've ever had. The tacos themselves were good, and the side of beans was solid. Just the consommé was very oily. Very enjoyable experience overall. Definitely would return.

Restaurant week is usually more miss than hit because restaurants get overwhelmed and over capacity. Bang Bang Kitchen's restaurant week was an exception - everything was delicious and the service was great. Particular hits were the chili frito pie; the mole enchiladas, and the fried ice cream. All great flavors and substantial portions. Drinks were complex and visually appealing. The restaurant itself is colorful and clean with comfortable seating. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Happy hour Menu
Maria L.

Surprisingly authentic Mexican food with an amazing bartender/ drinks and excellent service. We had chicken nachos, beef tacos and the fried ice cream and washed it down with some margaritas and a frosea. We visited on a Saturday night and it was a really fun vibe to boot!

Stuffed Sopapillas - the king of MEALS!
Ryan T.

This place is great for brunch lunch and dinner. The staff is really friendly, the food is top notch, and it's the stuffed Sopapillas for me. They aren't just for dessert anymore! Stuff em with brisket! Do it!!!!!!!111

Online Chile Relleno
Matthew G.

The food was super good, fresh and plentiful! Serving sizes were large, and the drinks were Bang Bang strong! Service was amazing, they were on top of everything without asking, but gave us time to think and enjoy as well. The ambiance was chill, and the mariners game was on in the background, so even better! Great place!!

Enchiladas
Tracie E.

Very cute neighborhood restaurant with friendly service. Met a friend here during Happy Hour on a Wednesday, this was both our first visit. Spent a lot of time on such a small menu to decide what we wanted as some items seems peculiar, like vegan Mac&cheese and pancakes w/ wings so we ordered queso and chips along with some drinks as we continued to browse the menu and look up pictures to catch their vibe but we both landed on enchiladas. Dish comes with 3 enchiladas but you cannot mix the meat so we got 3 chicken and 3 brisket, both with red & green sauce. The chicken was the best as the brisket was pretty dry but neither was worth raving over. All in all I would come back to try their brunch on the weekend and if I was in a nacho mood during their happy hour.

Breakfast Torta and Pancakes and Wings
Kyle I.

Where has New Mexican food been all my life?? In New Mexico, I guess. Finally tried this spot after moving south to the neighborhood a few months ago, and it instantly became our new go-to brunch spot. Came here Ona date brunch with my wife, and we'll definitely be bringing the kids next time. The cornbread pancakes and chicken wings and breakfast torta all hit the spot. It's a beautiful cross between TexMex and a hint of Southern cuisine, a wonderful mixture of flavors that were at once familiar and novel to us. They have a beautiful restaurant on Othello with lots of space for groups of varying sizes, and they have validated parking in garage behind the restaurant. Can't wait to come back and try it out for dinner and drinks!

Breakfast burrito
Teresa M.

Absolutely awesome place to get your grub on!! This has been on my bookmarks forever and I finally decided to go out of my way to try it out. I went for brunch this time and will certainly be back for dinner! Bang Bang isn't veg*n, but they are very friendly and many of the menu items can be easily modified to be either vegan or vegetarian. I went with the breakfast burrito, sub soyrizo to make it veggie friendly. It was really good and filling! The green sauce was definitely my favourite of the two. To drink I got a Berry the Hatchet, which was perfect! The restaurant was beautifully clean, the service was great, and they have a bar section. Great establishment!! The only thing I didn't like was the parking. I did, in fact, find street parking. It was not a picnic. There's a parking garage. Don't be me and use it!

Sopapillas
Sara B.

Stopped here with my family for a quick bite to eat before a flight. It was Saturday evening, and the restaurant was just starting to fill up with more people. Lovely ambiance with fun lights, tables, and booths. The hostess and waiter were both very friendly and attentive. The food was GREAT overall. We started with sopapillas and honey -- wow. My family both got different tacos and I got a burrito. The tacos were 5 stars, the rice and beans a little lackluster. The burrito was yummy with delicious Christmas sauce but I would have loved some veg with the potatoes and beans. I got chorizo tofu though which was delicious. Definitely a spot to check out.

Do you have vegan cheese and sour cream? Can you sub jack fruit for pulled pork? What are your other vegan options?

Can't speak to the cheese or cream, but yes, you can choose your protein.

Kid friendly or no?

Sure, they have booths and tables away from the bar.

We walked in around 5pm on a Sunday night and was greeted by a very friendly waiter who offered us a few choices to sit. We ordered the gumbo, the grits plate w blackened catfish, and an eggplant dip appetizer. I'm from the south and didn't know seattle had southern food like this! The ambience was great and food absolutely delicious. Would definitely come again!

Great Cajun food with serious New Orleans vibes…read more Jude's is a great little Cajun spot that really delivers on the food. My wife had the po' boy, and it compared surprisingly well to a true New Orleans-style sandwich--definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared. The ambiance is very Seattle, in the best possible way: casual, eclectic, and perfectly suited to its Rainier Beach Old Town location. The neighborhood can feel a little sketchy, but honestly, that's part of the setting and fits the vibe of the place, so I wouldn't hold that against Jude's. Service was good overall, although it was a little slow considering how small the restaurant is. Still, the food and atmosphere more than made up for it. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for some solid Cajun food with a distinctly Seattle personality.

The restaurant ambiance is unmatched and it's obvious they put lots of consideration and care into their design and food. We were so impressed with the empanadas (cheesy chicken and beef) and special sauces. The chicken salad arepas was packed with protein. We can't wait to come back to try their other dishes! Live music is from 7:30-9:30 pm Fri-Sat, followed by karaoke.

Though we both liked our entrees, we both thought the protein quality of the mains is just ok. The winning dish is the mini arepas, hands down. I would order those mini arepa for my entree easily. This location is roomy. Service is warm; our server was helpful answering questions. The Food: Arepitas Fritas, $17 - 5+ Stars Four mini arepa in the appetizer section, these start with the same cornmeal (masa de maíz) base as the normal arepa, then topped with cheese, slow cooked beef, quail egg, and pink sauce. These bites are sooooo good! They sell the full-size arepas also, which will likely be a future meal. :) Platanos Fritos, $8 - 5 Stars Gotta love Latin foods with their plantains. Simple and delicious. Theirs are perfectly prepared. Camarones de Ajillo, $19 - 3.5 Stars These shrimps are cooked in garlic, herbs, and cream. The herb butter sauce is excellent, but the shrimps' quality is just ok. We liked it enough but will not order again. Asado Negro Tips, $23 - 3.5 Stars 8 oz of NY strip are cooked cubed in asado sauce, served with yuca fries and quasaca, a mini tomato and avocado salad. Again, the asado sauce is excellent, but the steak pieces are on the tough side. The yuca fries didn't stand out. This is also a 'liked it enough but won't order again' dish.

So much so , that we planned our evening for our group around starting here for a couple hours for drinks ...

It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.
