    Clam chowder and sourdough bread for nice light lunch
    Timothy H.

    Great spot in downtown Seattle for a quick and inexpensive lunch. The employees are all super friendly and they know the menu well. I had a small bowl of their clam chowder, which was decent, and it came with two slices of sourdough bread which they were nice enough to toast for me. It was the perfect lunch for someone like myself with a moderate appetite. All for under $10. I had my order in under 2 minutes. Everything was clean. I plan to go back and try their sandwiches and wraps. The person sitting next to me was eating one of their chicken wraps and it looked amazing. So that's next on the list. Please don't forget to clean up after yourself.

    #2 The Boardroom sandwich
    Jon O.

    Great place to grab a sandwich for lunch. I had The "Boardroom" which had generous portions of ham, turkey, and bacon, with warm cheese and buttery bread. I could only eat half, had to save the other half for dinner. There are 11 other sandwich options on the menu so guaranteed you'll find one you like. They also have soups, wraps, and a few salads, so something for everyone.

    This is a spotless quick-serve coffee shop/eatery located downtown. It is also a little food market/wine shop. You order from the counter (or a touchscreen) and pick it up when they call your name.

    Food & snacks shop. There are breakfast (served the whole day), salads, soups, all in grab&go format, but you can have a meal there as well - there are seating places. Portions are big. There are different coffees and teas, also matcha. Here you can buy some snacks, fruits, milkshakes and other drinks, wines are also available to buy. Big windows, so very bright inside.

I went on a gorgeous…read moreSaturday just after 12PM and there was no line, but it looked like they were packing some take out orders. The signature saj bread is cooked fresh on a hot stone and is almost like a Middle Eastern flour tortilla with the way it's super thin and satisfyingly chewy bite. The only seating options are a few large benches on the sidewalk, but there's a poster saying you're welcome to sit at the neighboring bar which opens in the late afternoon provided you purchase a drink as well. Ended up sampling 3 of their wrap options and the Zaatar Wrap was deliciously nutty and fragrant, but texturally there was so many herbs that the center ate a little dry. The Lahme Khuruf (Lamb) was my favorite by far with super juicy ground meat with some tang from the labneh, sweetness, freshness from the tomato, and texture from the pine nuts. Absolute home run on this one! The Awarma and Cheese was a close second, but personally, the flavor profile was just a little less interesting than the lamb. Tip: grab some extra napkins as the wraps can fall apart a bit at the end!

I got a build-my-own saj wrap with the mushroom base saj $6, sumac chicken $7, tomato $1.5, cucumber $1.5, pickled turnip $1, and a side of hot sauce $2. The saj bread itself tasted good, but got soaked through by the juice of the chicken and became very soggy. We walked to a park 10 minutes away to eat the wraps and the wraps were bending. The ingredients are fresh but nothing particularly stood out. I didn't quite taste the mushroom on the wrap, and on top of that, I got charged $2 for the hot sauce, but never tasted it in the wrap or found it on the side. My partner got the falafel saj wrap which was overall ddcent, but he also found the saj bread quite soggy, yet the falafels were on the dry side.

Prices are also cheaper here than the food truck setup in South Lake Union. I took advantage of the BOGO single pod with chicken tikka so I paid about $9 for 2 which is a good deal, but even at regular pricing, it's great value. Food quality is comparable. I can see myself coming here more often as it's open through dinner and is close to my office

I placed my order through Yelp, which redirects customers to DoorDash for fulfillment. Unfortunately, there was no option to specify the spice level for the paneer masala side dish, despite the restaurant description highlighting customizable spice levels as part of its offering. Because I have health-related dietary concerns, I called the restaurant immediately after placing the order to request a mild spice level. The staff member who answered was initially unable to locate my order, even after I spelled out the name multiple times, which significantly delayed the process. My husband later called and was able to get someone to find the order, but when I called back again to confirm the mild spice request, I was told it was too late to make any changes. I also had an earlier issue when I accidentally went to the wrong location and called for assistance. Rather than providing the Bellevue location's direct number or helping redirect me, I was placed on hold multiple times, which added to the inconvenience. While the food itself was excellent, the customer service and ordering experience were disappointing. Since the Yelp/ DoorDash ordering flow does not allow customers to specify spice preferences for certain items, I expected more flexibility and consideration when I called immediately after placing the order with a reasonable health-related request.

Oh, and a vodka lemonade - you can get cocktails delivered via DoorDash! Everything was super good, especially the chili cheese dog. They were really generous with the chili (a full cup of it) and it was delicious. The lemonade is made from scratch and I really enjoyed that, as well - not too sweet. When we did takeout, we each got a sandwich, and we also got a Chicago dog, "chum bucket" w/ tots, and a handful of cocktails. I'd had kind of a bad week and was basically like, I don't even care, let's just get whatever we want even if it's an insane amount of stuff, haha. They do single serving craft cocktails for takeout in little cans, which is pretty cool. And they were SO GOOD (all with very clever nautical-themed names). I think our favorite was the "No Ship Sherlock" seasonal Moscow mule. The Chicago dog was amazing - based on this and my previous chili cheese dog, I can say without hesitation that their hotdogs are 100% 10/10. The "chum bucket" tots were also really good, and again came with a very generous full cup of chili. I hate to say it because everything else was so good, but the sandwiches were pretty disappointing for the price, we both thought. I had a tuna sandwich and my bf had a veggie sandwich. They used fresh, quality ingredients, but both sandwiches were kind of bland, and a lot smaller than we were expecting for $14 apiece. That's the only reason I dropped a star, but aside from that, they are 5 star all the way. So, we would not revisit the sandwiches, but hotdogs and cocktails HELL YES YES YES!! Anything involving the chili is also highly recommended. And although I didn't really go into detail about it, chicken tenders were good, too (there were more in there than what the photo shows) - crispy and well-seasoned, and more than what I was expecting.
