    Drink station
    Katlyn S.

    I was at the field across the street for my son's soccer game and this place smelled sooooo good I was starving by the end of the game. So glad I stopped in for lunch we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the service was perfect.

    Outside

    Saw that they opened and decided to stop by. They have 2 pods outside which was fun if you're not sharing with strangers cause the sound echoes and it'll feel like their conversation is right next to you. It was fun with the kids though. Gordita (4): We didn't know what to expect but it was pretty good. They have good meat here so its really just how you want it served. This was sort of like a light torta. Quesabirria Tacos (5): We ordered 2 quesabirria tacos and they loaded the plate with a bunch of extra toppings so you can dress it up yourself. The consome was fantastic as well. I think we found our birria spot now! Al Pastor Tacos (5): You can see the trompo in the back and it came out hot and fresh. Properly dressed with a pineapple slice as well. Flautas Plate (4): Flautas were decent sized and good. Rice and beans were as expected. Salsas (4): Decent and good variety. Wish they had a spicier option but the flavors were good. They have a serve yourself salsa bar. Overall, think we found our go-to late night (open till 3am!) option in the area since everything we tried was solid and its in a convenient location for us.

    Chipotle enchiladas.

    I saw this spot opened recently and was excited to check it out! I had the chipotle enchiladas and they were super filling and tasty. They came with beans and rice too. The price was reasonable as well - I think around $16 for 3 enchiladas and the sides. I was able to choose the filling for each too. The inside is surprisingly spacious too. Looking forward to coming back!

    Tacos al Pastor

    Ordered ahead to pick up a buncha tacos from this location today and every taco was delicious- we ordered pastor, chicken, and lengua. Ordering ahead is a pretty decent hack right now as the spot just opened so it's nice n busy. Service isn't slow but it's nice to be able to duck in and pick up food without hanging around. The location is pretty tight as parking goes but they maximized seating with some covered tables outside Will come here again soon- especially if the Sounders have a good match next season.

Also had a cup of their amazing clam chowder. Place was very clean and organized. Service was very fast and friendly. They had a small seating area inside and some large picnic tables outside. There was plenty of parking.

    Our second Fish and Chips tasting in Seattle…read more Little mom and pop shop. We got there late so the place was pretty empty. There are picnic benches but more like a grab n go kind of place. We wanted to try their fish and chips but they happen to serve Seafood gumbo on some days. I am a sucker for gumbo but most of the places outside of NOLA had let me down big time. So I hesitated. I decided to asked for a spoon of gumbo to sample before I order a cup. The young man at the counter started scooping a cup, yes, a real cup so I figured he heard me wrong. When I asked how much, he replied, free for you. Really?! Awesome!!! Now my husband and son's turn, ok, they ordered like there's no tomorrow and below is how I ranked them. Seafood Gumbo - OMG, other than a little saltier for my taste, it is on point. As good as it can get. Highly recommended. Clam chowder- not bad but gumbo was way better. Fried chicken- was alright. Crab puppies - yummy Fried calamari- tough and chewy Fishes - soggy way too dried Salmon - very light battered which were great but fish were dried. Way over fried. Shrimps - over fried and dried Clam strips - too dried Chips - all were soggy even though we asked for extra crispy. Slaw - crisp and tasty. I rather eat this than the soggy fries/chips. I would definitely return for the seafood gumbo and crab puppies.

The Carribean Star is a MUST- TRY, the flavors of that drink were amazing! Both the tostones and shrimp ceviche for appetizers was out of this world! The fried catfish was breaded and crisped perfectly and their sides, especially the collard greens are tasty, a bit tangy and phenomenal! I was able to sample my coworkers dishes (they offered of course and I did too) and the goat curry -- try this too if you like curry! Such amazing flavor and tender goat! They do not take reservations but it's peak around dinner time and weekends! We got lucky with the last big table! The menu is creative and colorful. Staff is amazing! They actually had a location in Kirkland but had to close it and this location remains and is a HIT!

    Seattle Seafood Center was such a great find--one of those unexpected gems you stumble upon while…read morelooking for parking for a nearby restaurant. What immediately caught our attention (for obvious reasons) was the bold sign: LIVE KING CRAB. We walked in and were instantly impressed. Large water tanks filled with live Dungeness crab and live king crab, crystal-clear water, and absolutely no fishy smell--always an excellent sign. The space feels more like a clean, well-run warehouse set up for both wholesale and retail, not a typical seafood market. A gentleman working there quickly came over and started chatting with us about crab. Super knowledgeable and friendly. They offer a wide selection: live, fresh, and frozen crab, Japanese scallops, fish, and a variety of shellfish. We considered the live king crab, but it was honestly too big for the two of us to handle in a hotel kitchen--and definitely would've been a splurge. So, plan B: I called my sister-in-law to see if she'd like some frozen king crab legs. She said yes immediately. The gentleman showed us the frozen options, and the king crab legs were long, meaty, and impressive--similar in size to what Costco carries, but priced better. We ended up negotiating a great deal and purchased a box of their Party Pack King Jumbo Crab Legs for her. Later that evening, she surprised her daughter with a king crab birthday dinner, and they reported the legs were super meaty and absolutely delicious. Safe to say, we'll definitely keep Seattle Seafood Center in mind for future seafood splurges. If you love high-quality seafood and especially crab, this place is worth a stop--even if it's an unplanned one.

Unlike many BBQ restaurants that display roasted pork, duck, and other meats in the front window, this place doesn't have that kind of display, so it can be easy to drive right past it. Don't let the location fool you--this place is popular, and I'm glad I stopped in and discovered it. I later found out that both Anthony Bourdain and Mike Chen have visited, which made me appreciate the place even more. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is outstanding. My favorite is the giant crispy catfish served with vermicelli and a delicious dipping sauce. The grilled conch is also excellent and definitely worth ordering. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food, great service, and some really good dishes, I highly recommend giving Rainier Restaurant a try.

The restaurant has an older, cozy atmosphere, and the service was excellent: quick, friendly, and efficient.
