    Total surprising hole in the wall - tiny restaurant in the lobby of a skyscraper. The most delightful, efficient woman taking our order! Extremely friendly and accommodating! Food was delicious! Great lunch spot during work!! No real ambiance but worth a visit!!

    Thai curry Noodle Bowl with tofu
    Mia Z.

    This place is on the first floor of this old office building. Small menu. Daily special is great! Low price in downtown for work lunch. We came here for the 2nd time today. I got Thai curry noodle and my friend got beef roast soup noodles. Sensible portion, great taste, good value. Come give it a try!

    Always good service and delish food. There's usually a line for people getting take out but there's plenty of seating to dine in.

    Yellow curry

    Easily one of my favorite meals in Seattle. It's a bit hard to find the first time you go. As most people mention, it's near the WE WORK sign in the bottom floor of a building on 4th ave. Walk through the green marble lobby to the restaurant. This is not the kind of place you go to get good instagram photos of the restaurant. It's the kind of place you go when you want an excellent (and affordable) meal, in a clean location, from some of the kindest people I've ever met. I always get the yellow curry. It's shredded chicken, carrots, potatoes, and white rice with a yellow curry. No onions (thank goodness!!!!!) and a the perfect amount of spice to it! Most Asian food in Seattle uses all parts of the chicken in their dishes and here it seems to be only the breast (thank goodness!!) Its a great sized portion. The people working also deserve HUGE recognition because they're the kindest people I've met in Seattle. They will go out of their way to make sure every order is perfect and work hard to learn your name. If I had to have one complaint it's that they're only open m-f 8:30-3. I'd give anything for it to be open for dinner! Love this spot and just want more of it!!

    I don't understand how this restaurant doesn't have higher reviews. Admittedly didn't have high expectations but the food here is INCREDIBLE! The best Thai food I've had here! The fish was piping hot and fresh, owners were friendly and the workspace was clean 10/10

    Thai Curry Noodle ($6.95)

    It can be a challenge to find good cheap eats in downtown Seattle. Harbor Café is one spot I would put in this category. I was walking down 4th Avenue looking for a place to eat and came across their sandwich board on the sidewalk so I decided to venture in. If not for that board, I wouldn't have known that this place existed. It is on the same street as Potbelly and RN 74 in an older building near an investment brokerage. The restaurant is just past the elevators here. The offerings here kind of remind me of DeliNoMore except with a focus on Thai food. They offer breakfast items in the morning and for lunch they serve Thai dishes along with items like teriyaki chicken and some salads. There is also a daily special. Nothing on the menu is over $7.95. I went with the Thai curry noodle ($6.95) since it was cool outside. I paid for the meal and then took a seat across the hall in their dining area. My meal was then brought over when it was ready. I liked the dish. A comforting meal. Egg noodles were covered by a slightly spicy yellow curry sauce. The crispy noodles on top are sort of reminiscent of the ones that I had in the khao soi dish at Bai Tong. Service here is very friendly. The lady at the counter particularly who makes you feel at home. The same kind of hospitality I find back in Hawaii. I think I am being a little harsh giving a three here. This place is on the cusp of four stars, but I want to try more of the menu before giving it that distinction. If I were working in downtown Seattle, Harbor Café would be one of my regular spots for sure.

    Monday special: chicken and veggie chow mein
    Nina H.

    I've come here a handful of times now and I like this place! I'm excited to come back again and again to try their daily specials as well as their noodle soups. Now that it's rainy and cold, the noodle soups will be perfect and I know I'll crave them for lunch. I've tried the fried fish over rice and the chicken chow mein, and both were very yummy! The fish dish wasn't a huge portion, but the chow mein was a big portion. Generous pieces of chicken and noodles. It's probably better to dine in so the noodles don't get too soggy. Their set up is really convenient and quick for to-go orders and dining in. Prices are also very affordable!

    Hidden gem! As mentioned in the location, this cafe is inside the building on 4th. Had the curry noodle soup and it was really good. The broth was perfect so were the noodles and chicken. Got it served in two minutes, so for quick Thai food in downtown this is the place. Don't expect ambience, but you can expect quick good food. Will be back here soon to try the other menu items.

    Thai Curry Noodle
    Mona M.

    What to get: Thai Curry Noodle I work nearby and I keep coming back for their Thai Curry Noodle. This place is pretty popular. Judy is such a sweet lady who remembers their repeat customers by their names. Chef Rut is also super friendly, he works mainly in the kitchen and would deliver food to the tables. Service is fast. Portion is on the smaller size, price is good. Yes they do microwave some of their stuff, you can always hear the microwave beeping. But if you're not too picky about your food and just looking for a quick easy lunch in the area, this place will do the trick.

The grilled cheese was made to perfection the bread was fresh, thick, and delicious, and it was packed with cheese! The tomato soup was also delicious with a unique flavor.

Overall, this café was a quiet, cozy spot with pleasant employees. I'd definitely visit again.

Because you never turn away a delicious PNW Salmon dish. The place is cute, mainly wooden, lots of plants inside (my allergies were killing me here hehe). Plenty of sitting areas and window views too. I got lucky to seat by a window to just enjoy the rainy view. Their Salmon toast was delicious! I asked for the cream cheese on the side because I cant have lactose but I still wanted to try their dish with all ingredients. So I dipped the slices a few times to try it all and omg its so perfectly paired. I totally recommend it! The coffee was ok. I had their gingersnap latte seasonal drink. I asked with only 1 pump of sweet and alternative milk. I was not impressed. I prefer black coffee haha but if you enjoy sweet drinks you may enjoy this one. I still finished it, so it wasn't terrible just not something I'd order again. Also, Idk why my coffee was served on a to-go cup. Maybe that took some of the joy of it? Overall, I recommend the this spot. Staff was friendly. The menu is vast. Sitting arrangements are great and cozy. Within walking distance from the convention center and a couple of the hotels in the area.

    I've associated Jollidaze with their holiday photo ops and honestly, didn't know they were open…read moreoutside of the last few months in the year. Basically, I thought they were a pop up. They sell themselves around being a holiday themed shop which isn't a bad thing, but when it's not the holiday season, the charm feels almost mismatched. All that to say, I love the idea, the space, and the vibes here but have often looked past it because of my perception with the branding. However, I will say their menu is great and the holiday joy is more of a supplement rather than a cover up or gimmick. I would comfortably visit Jollidaze for their drinks and get a working session. Wifi available, washroom (restrooms) available, and outlets available. Ube Phe Latte - rich, creamy, ube foam on top of a strong ca phe! There's also some ube milk, so a three layered drink. Both parts of ube were nutty, sweet, and paired with the ca phe amazingly. Strong Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk always hits but the ube mixture is a cherry on top. Up there with the other ube coffees around. Strawberry Matcha - honestly a simple no frills strawberry matcha. Smoothly whisked matcha, lightly sweetened strawberry puree, and a cup to be mixed in. Maybe more jam than other spots, which can help sweeten the drink and add some texture (chewiness), so might have to say above average.

As we entered, my daughters were excitedly yelling "Grinch." Throughout my order, the employee maintained a visibly displeased demeanor. Once I had paid, she rudely stated that "they need to keep it down because people are working." If a business does not welcome excited children, perhaps it is better suited as an adult-only space. When a child is not causing harm to themselves or others, there is no reason to ask them to be silent. It is especially important to recognize that children on the spectrum express themselves differently, and they deserve to be able to exist freely without judgment.

The pour-over, however, was phenomenal: deep, rich, and full of berry notes. For food, we had: * Almond Croissant: Perfectly crispy on the outside.

However, I did end up trying one of their seasonal menu items - the Sakura Blossom Cloud Latte. I customized this drink with oat milk, even though the foam has to stay as dairy. The oat milk added a nutty creaminess that I particularly enjoyed. There were notes of the sweet Sakura syrup with a slight saltiness from the cream foam that gives the drink its perfect balance. It was a refreshing drink for a pick-me-up and they only had it for a limited time! My only thing is that I felt some coffee beans at the bottom that may not have been grinded as finely but other than that, the drink was amazing and I would recommend as a good backdrop for a spring walk!
