Introduction: I got…read morethe Yelp email asking if I tried Lucky Louie, so since I'm currently doing the America 250 series of American established restaurants. I'm going geographically east to west across the US with some states represented and is ending with CA, OR, & WA in that order. But I'll go out of geographic order with a bonus 2nd Washington state established restaurant for Lucky Louie. The original Washington state pick will be a chain place in Columbia, MD about 10 miles from my home. Experience with Lucky Louie: Just last week my girlfriend & I had a trip to Seattle & Vancouver, BC. We arrived at SeaTac airport on time. Our hotel was near the airport. We decided to eat in the airport before leaving security as options were somewhat limited like Denny's, Jack in the Box, McDonald's, etc. We wanted something that might be better here and/or hard to come by near home in Maryland. We walked around the airport and considered Lucky Louie as a strong maybe, but we wanted to see what was out there. We walked up to a Poke place, which was a consideration, but it looked weak, and some other various possibilities. Ultimately, we decided to go to that central area in the airport and go with Lucky Louie. We were pretty hungry after long flight and spending a bit of time walking around (as I needed to get a walk in since I was sitting on phone for 5 hours) to determine what to eat. We decided to split the clam strips for $6.99, which were fried & delicious. I was a bit unsure about how good these would be. But this well exceeded expectations. My girlfriend already knew she loved clam strips, and even said this was amongst the best she's had. We decided to get 3-piece Alaskan pollock each, which is a fish & chips. Fries were solid, but wow the Alaskan pollock was excellent. They also had Wild Salmon strips, but it was a good about $6 price differential. We both decided it wasn't worth it. Salmon is one common thing I make at home for dinner; so I never get out. Granted this was wild salmon, which is a little different, but I figured the Alaskan pollock would be a good choice and not something I could get at home/out in Maryland; maybe some restaurant has locally, but I've never noticed it. This was an excellent meal and a must try for people going to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Cashier was nice too. We definitely had some great meals on the trip, but it was a bit downhill after that. Lucky Louie was the single best meal/food experience we had on the trip. We had some other 5-star meals, but some service issues at the excellent food places that in a couple of cases might lower to 4-star even if food is a 5. Interesting Side Notes: Lucky Louie was specific fishing lure from the mid 20th century made in Washington. Before going through security to fly back home, I glanced at the wall, where it mentioned musicians from each decade. For the 1950's, it mentioned the Kingsmen smash hit "Louie Louie". Although the song was a #2 hit in 1963; it was a cover of a 1957 song by Richard Berry, who performed in the Seattle-Tacoma area and was a local hit song. Further, in 1985 there was an effort to replace Washington state's song to "Louie Louie", which failed but was an interesting effort. Not sure if the song was perhaps a secondary meaning of the restaurant's name song in addition to the fishing lure brand.

Desiring a matcha latte I decided to switch it up a bit and go for the matcha milk tea at Hachiko…read more What can I say? The ordering was super easy and fast. There was a bit of a wait due to the young man who took my order forgetting to ask a few questions, but once the lady who was making all the drinks realized what had happened she quickly and expertly righted the situation. Everyone was so nice here! Just super pleasant! And the matcha milk tea was superb! I ordered it at 50% sweetness which was just perfect. It had a brilliant matcha flavor, a pleasant creaminess, and a lovely proper color. I was quite impressed! Only downside is not really Hachiko's problem but just the layout of the airport terminal. It can be very easy to get caught in someone else's path as it is at a pinch point with the main C terminal gates, the entrance to the train, and the much narrower hall with more gates. The C terminal tends to be my least favorite because of this but at least restaurants like Hachki-ko makes this a nice stop.

The smell of sizzling Spam drifting through the airport was impossible to ignore--it pulled us in…read morebefore we even saw the sign. One whiff and we knew we had to try it. The short lines and visibly happy patrons made the decision even easier. There's something reassuring about seeing people eagerly digging into their food, and this place clearly had a loyal following. We ordered the Spam and egg breakfast along with the Portuguese fried rice, and both dishes absolutely delivered. The Spam and eggs were simple but done just right--crispy, salty slices of Spam paired perfectly with fluffy eggs and rice. It's comfort food at its best, executed with care. The Portuguese fried rice was the standout. Packed with flavor, it had that perfect balance of savory, slightly smoky, and just a hint of sweetness. Every bite felt hearty and satisfying, with generous portions and well-seasoned ingredients that made it hard to stop eating. Overall, this spot turned out to be a hidden gem in the middle of the airport. What started as curiosity from a tempting aroma ended up being one of the most satisfying meals of the trip. Definitely worth stopping by if you catch that same irresistible smell.

Early morning snack…read more.. The early morning vibe in Seattle-Tacoma airport comes alive at around 4am-ish and one that opened early in comparison to neighboring restaurants and shops is Pallino an Italian eatery a cute and bright spot that offers a lot of grab and go items as I noticed their display filled with various baked goods which isn't my thing until I turned to the refrigerated display filled with drinks, wraps, sandwiches and desserts cannoli and tiramisu....it was the pasta salad that caught my attention it look so nice and refreshing that I got one to snack it had all the classic yummy ingredients with olives, roasted red peppers and mozzarella cheese the Italian dressing was on the side but was happy as it didn't disappoint. The staff tried to sell me more items but this was just perfect. Thank you!

We ordered kids cheeseburger, fish and chips and chicken chopped salad. Fries were good, burger was overcooked but fine. Fish was processed and frozen but it was fine.

Not sure I'd seek it out while at Sea Tac but it was right across from our gate and had something we all wanted to eat.

The ambiance was nice for sitting or even carry out with great service, The food was prepared fast but I would say it your 100 authentic Vietnamese resturant since it in an airport but the pho was so good Rib eye steak pho $23.99 5/5 - The bowl was big, me and my mom share a bowl and we were super full. The broth was full of flavor and a great amount of rib eyes steak; there was not much protien choice topping like typical pho but make sense since it in airport who have time for all that option. Fresh Limeade $7.95 4/5- So delicious but i think the price is pretty high for the size that you get but it was so good a bit too sweet would have been nice if they offer mint in it. Will defnitly come back went in seattle airport

It would be $10 sandwich anywhere else. The sandwich is a footlong. It was ok. The pork was marinated with Vietnamese sauce making it very flavorful and the veggies were fresh. However, the veggies lacked the pickled flavor and it had very little Siracha Mayo. It needed more. Also, the Pate' was missing too. The breach itself was light, airy, and crunchy but was slightly dry and hard in certain areas. We didn't get the Pho but it looked good and large bowl.

I found two places this one and a Ballards brew house a little closer to D7. I decided to try the Poke tacos since I saw a bunch of reviews on how good they are. I also ordered the lumpia. The Poke Tacos were so BOMB the amount of chunks you get of delicious tuna is so good! The flavor of the cilantro and spicy aioli sauce drizzled on top is phenomenal. I'm not lying when I say ORDER THE TACOS! The lumpia was crispy and cooked to perfection every bite had a blast of flavor and talking about blast of flavor the Poke tacos are on a bed of soft tortilla then a hard tortilla holding everything together.

The waitress admitted she made a mistake. She told me to keep the accidental cheesecake while I waited for the correct dessert. She apologized and went to the table behind mine to apologize because she "got distracted" Lmao... my goodness. German chocolate pudding has too many nuts. No coconut but there is warm caramel. Partner liked the crab, but the "prawns" were tiny. The crème brûlée was literally a puddle of warm liquid in a to-go box. The French fries were actually delicious. Hugely expensive for what it is. Only go here if you have a free voucher and infinite patience. PS .. see photo of restaurant dishes directly on top of a trash can and what appears to be a sanitation bucket.
