It's very possible that this place is legitimately good. I came for a bite before a concert. I should have looked around first. I ordered teriyaki but he was kind enough to tell me it would be 30 minutes. I opted for the chili and rice. It was good service chili at best. Rice was cooked ununiformly like i got the last bit from the half empty cooker. There is no way this place can handle a pre game or pre concert crowd. It wasn't even that crowded yet and they struggled mightily. Good location though. Just would never go here before an event. read more

Deceiving old ladies that work the counter with a smile. I ordered an overpriced tuna melt $13.99+tip and after paying they have a self serve tea/coffee area and I make an apple cider. As I'm walking out with my sandwich and freshly made cider that they watched me make slowly they proceed to say I have to pay for it mind you I watched the customer after me walk out without paying for a tea he just made. This was my first time stopping in and it's gonna have to be my last. The old ladies then tried to scold me for my age when I told them I felt like I was being robbed. KING DOME DEEEZ read more

The California club was terrible. Avacodo was old and extremely hard, ingredients just tasted old in general. The breakfast burrito wasn't great either and the eggs were microwaved. read more

King Dome Deli - . Got the California club for almost $15 for it to have hard, old Avacados - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is very close to the train station, so I walked over to this nice little place to have lunch while I was spending some time waiting for my train connection. I ordered the chicken teriyaki plate which was quite plentiful and tasty. They also have a wide variety of sandwiches and other different things to choose from. I thought the prices here were reasonable and everything seemed to look good. read more

The last Seahawks home game of the year and we arrived wayyyy early to the stadium. I was in the mood for a sit down place but someplace kind of quick. After walking around the outside of the stadium I came across King Dome Deli. This was one of those moments you put your face up to the window and read the menu from outside...contemplate life for a bit and then go sure why not! I couldn't have been happier with my decision to try them out. The women at the counter was so nice even though she was honestly slammed with orders. My wife and I both ordered a Seahawks sub. It only took 5 minutes or so for completion and then the food was brought to our seats. It's interesting, the quality of the food made me really happy. It's not overkill but it's also not anything special or out of this world. The appealing part is that it was very simple, but very good. I will 100% be coming back and recommending King Dome Deli for a quick bite before or after a game! -Colter read more

Who cannot love anything that is named Kingdome! This is a basic, no frills place where you can get breakfast, lunch, and some grab-n-go snacks. Close to the train station and 2 blocks from light rail. On a budget? Grab a PBJ sandwich or a half a sandwich. Nice corner window for people watching read more

Great little deli with tasty breakfast sandwiches prepared by very nice owners. Chicken teriyaki and sandwiches also good and a god value. read more

King Dome Deli - the counter of a king dome deli - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Overpriced and small and i was buyin a pineapple juice and she made me buy something else because i had to spend more than $5 to use my card also i thought the breakfast sandwiches were handmade. She threw my friends egg in the microwave to heat it up then wrapped the sandwich as if it wasnt just another jimmy dean dupe. read more

Mediocre fast lunch place at best. I was debating between two and three stars. I only gave three stars because of the delicious chili. My first impression of the Deli was not good. It was not very clean inside and looked very run down. I got my order to go, and headed back to my office. The two ladies that were working in there were so busy and were not that friendly at all. I tried ordering a ham and cheese sandwich and the lady did not understand me. She forgot to put the cheese on the sandwich that I ordered. The sandwich was something that I could have easily made at home to be close to a $10.00 price tag. I had the chili as well with cheese on it. The chili was really delicious, but I think it was just warmed out of a can. It did not seem like it was made from scratch. Overall, its just a run down mom and pop shop deli. There was plenty of room for seating, but some of the tables are dirty. Overall, as I said, mediocre, not very good customer service and the Sushi and Deli and all kinds of foods in the same place made me nervous, but that is okay. It honestly looked like food poisoning waiting to happen. I may go back for a sandwich if I am in a hurry, but otherwise, I will not. Your welcome to try it out, but read the reviews first. read more

it cost me 19.85 for a Calfornia Club and a Kiwi Starwberry Arizona, it was quite a bit of money for only that but all in all a pretty damn good sandwich. read more

Well kept, good service, and tasty food! If you're headed to Lumen Field, T-Mobile park, or just in the Pioneer Square area, stop at this hole-in-the-wall deli for a tasty sandwich or an authentic korean dish! 9.5/10, would absolutely recommend. read more

Super plain, simple sandwiches, hot dogs and some hot entrees. Service is slow but it's just a couple ladies working and they are doing their best. Got a turkey sandwich for $7 and it was just meat and cheese, no veggies included. Took 20 minutes after ordering and the line moved slowly before that so I wouldn't come back just for that reason when out and about for business. The sandwich was pretty generic and there are places in the same neighborhood that do better. read more

So this place.....very close to the train station for a bite. I ordered a sandwich to go no problem. I get on the train to eat my sandwich....and it has tomato. The wrapper had no tomato So imagine my surprise when I almost bit into the sandwich...guess what???? Tomato. Did I forget to add I'm allergic to tomato? read more

Thought I'd give them a try today. I'll never go back. The roast beef sandwich I had was completely lacking in flavor - the major flavor was from the mayonnaise. This is a local low-end sandwich shop. There are three high-end sandwich providers within a few blocks, one of which has similar prices. Not sure why anyone would go back here - they do offer some Korean dishes - maybe those are better, but I'm not going to find out - this experiment is over. If you need a sandwich, pick a competitor and spare yourself a lunch reminiscent of public school cafeteria food. read more

We both ordered the teriyaki chicken with rice and salad and it was delicious. Generous portions - we had our 5-year old with us and we didn't even order a separate dish for him - we had plenty to share between the 3 of us. Quick service and since there's no drinks to refill they basically leave you alone after you get your food other than asking once if the food is okay. If you're waiting on a train at King Street Station, or early to a game or show at the stadiums next door, this is a good place to grab a quick meal. read more

I don't understand how when someone says "please, no mayo" not once, but TWICE and then that is (rudely, might I add) is repeated back to me, as if I was in the wrong for saying it ... I took a bite and there was mayo on it. On BOTH slices of bread. There aren't very many things I am this specific about when it comes to my food, and even if I were, when the sandwich is almost ELEVEN DOLLARS, maybe leave the freaking mayo off of it. AND BE NICER TO YOUR PATRONS. You know, as a common courtesy or whatever. Thankfully I was able to give it to someone who was hungry on the street. read more

They will rob u clean. paid 30$ usd for elementary school lunch. the ladies were alluring but dont listen. gf bought a veggie tray for 6$ usd. it was a piece of cauliflower (who serves raw cauliflower?) and celery (who serves raw celery?). thats all i have to say. i didnt try their diverse menu though. maybe the japanese teriyaki rice is good but i doubt it. read more

We grabbed breakfast sandwich bagel here on the way to the game last weekend. They were fairy quick, easy to eat while walking and totally hit the spot. Definitely stop here to get real before before going to the stadium. read more

They have very nice sandwiches and a delicious bibinba that is tasty and plentiful. They just started making a vegetable sandwich with lots of cilantro that i like. read more

Best Teriyaki in all Seattle. I put my life on that. The ladies are incredibly nice and work very hard. My favorite spot to grab lunch

Good food, good portions, nice people! I work in Pioneer Square and I regularly enjoy lunch at the King Dome Deli. The staff is always nice and recognize me. Most importantly they are standardized and prepare the food consistantly with portions and quality. Then again I always tip them. I'v also noticed that they use higher quality meats, veggies and breads than other delis in Pioneer Square.A + for that! Here is everything I've had or have on a regular basis in order of favs. (Also this is all I have tried. There's much more.) Chili over rice w/ Cheese. Awesome! The chili is great with big chunks of tomatoes and beef too. Around $6 after tax. Cheap. Chili Dog. Comes with a real beef polish foot longer dog! Plenty of chili and cheese and a good quality bun. Will fill you up! Around $6 after tax. Cheap... Meatloaf sandwich. Plenty of meatloaf and all the fixins! Fills you up for around $7 after tax. Cheesesteak. Big! Good stuff. Lots of cheese. Only thing is that they are a little pepper heavy. Take some of that away and add more meat and cheese and it would rule. Breakfast burrito. HUGE. Only issue is that it's egg heavy and could use more meats and cheese and less egg. Also some sour cream would rule. I think it's like $4-$5 after tax. Keep up the great work! read more

I wanted to like this place. Was hoping it was a hidden gem that shows you can't judge a book by its cover. I ignored the "warning warning " notice that flashed through my mind because of the "Deli and Sushi" sign. I have learnt to listen better to my instincts. The lady who served me was very nice, and the food came out quickly. I got a chicken sandwich )$10 or so). But that's as good as it got. I returned to my office and tried to eat the sandwich but it was just horrible. The chicken was like flavorless rubber. I threw the chicken away and had bread, a bit of salad and what I think was mayonnaise. My stomach didn't feel great afterwards and I was consumed by a sense of a wasted lunch. This place is in such a prime location - by the train station, the stadium, the office workers...it should be better. I can only guess that they survive on first - and last - time customers only, because you'd really have to question anybody that returns to this place. read more

Ummmm, just not what I expected. Stopped in here hoping for a good deli and well, it was more like a gas station that made sandwiches. When I noticed the menu went from sushi to sandwiches to chili dogs, I knew I was in the wrong place. $20 for food that I could of thrown together at home. If I go out to grab lunch, I expect it to better than something I could make in two minutes. If you're looking for a mom and pop shop then go for it, but if you want a DELI (which is a part of their name,) then steer clear. read more

This is a nice cheap deli next to Qwest Field and the Amtrak station. The food is ok, worth about 3-3.5 stars. The service is 'meh', worth 2-3 stars, but the location gets it that 4th star. I hate that King St. Station has no food. It sucks. However, once I found this place I was appeased. Now, after I get to the station over an hour ealy, I can go get a pretty good deli sandwich and wait for the train. Their selection of sandwiches is pretty good, but none of them stand out as a super awesome sandwich. The ladies are nice, but the service tends to be very slow and they do have a habit of scurrying away in the middle of a transaction. One time I went there before taking the train and ordered two sandwiches. After the transaction the lady looks at me and says "I'm not Japanese; I'm Korean." What? Why did she say that? I should have asked her why cause it still bothers me to this day... I lived in Japan for a short while and have a habit of receiving food with both hands and a slight bow of the head. Maybe I let a little "hai" slip out. Maybe she thinks all white boys think all asian women are Japanese... Who knows? That story was tangetal, but I felt like telling it anyway. read more

I was waiting to catch a train and wanted something quick for breakfast. I had the ham and cheese omelette which was very tasty, served with toast, jelly, and bacon. The meal was cheap, tasty, and fast - exactly what I was after. This place is not fancy but the food is good, the price is low, and the service friendly. I boarded my train with time to spare and had a good breakfast beforehand. read more

This is just plain and simple a sandwich deli that does things right. Nothing fancy, no fresh baked bread, imported Italian meats or fancy cheeses. In fact I think the turkey on my Turkey Club is a pressed turkey. But hey, what do you want for something in downtown Seattle and is a really QUICK lunch for the working crew. They have several kinds of bread, whole wheat, 9 grain, sour dough, rye and a few others. Various selections of "their" sandwiches along with the standard, grilled cheese, Ruben, and tuna, amongst others. Another nicety is the freshness of the veggies on the sandwiches. The Romain lettuce is always crisp and fresh along with the nicely sliced tomatoes, sandwiches are made neat and consistent. They offer homemade chili, very hearty, sometimes a soup of the day, cup or a bowl, to go along with your sandwich, which comes as a whole or half, and a nice selection of pop and beverages. If you tire of the sandwiches, try something off of their "specials" menu, spaghetti isn't half bad and it comes with a "salads" and garlic toast, sadly it isn't offered all the time. One of the usual specials is the "Chili of rice", and that's not a misprint from me, for the price it's quite a deal and very filling. The help is friendly and quick, after a few visits they'll know your "usual" which is a nice added touch. They take Credit and Debt cards which is not always the case at a small shop like this. A worthy lunch place in my opinion, plus it's close to my workplace! read more

It's unlikely I'll be returning to King Dome Deli, despite my love for breakfast burritos and cheap sandwiches. I work across the street and needed a quick to-go lunch before a meeting. Despite the empty restaurant, it took multiple minutes for the three people behind the counter to acknowledge my presence at the cash register. I ordered two things: a sandwich and a fountain drink. To try to ease the language barrier, I pointed to the drink cups after noticing that the cashier seemed unsure what I wanted. Although she nodded and seemed to add something to the total, I wasn't handed a cup. Having not gone before, I thought it may be given to me with my sandwich. However, it wasn't. I asked and was rudely informed that I "hadn't ordered or paid for it" and, despite my firm, polite insistence that yes, I had, she refused to give it to me. I was now running late and had to leave. I went next door and got a soda and a bag of chips. The turkey BLT I got is fine, but not worth $8. Nicely toasted. The turkey is deli turkey- very much lunchmeat, and not good lunchmeat. The tomato is thin and watery. Overall, not a good experience. read more

Starting with the warm soda from the cooler, it didn't get much better. The lady taking my order was not friendly in any way and she was difficult to understand. The lady preparing the food wasn't any better. She finished my sandwich and instead of bringing it to my table she got my attention to come and get it from where when stood- 5 feet away. If it was busy I wouldn't have questioned it but it was dead. The sandwich was mediocre. No flavor at all and stacked almost too high to take a bite. My impression- they don't care if I come in there or not, so I will NEVER go back in there. They have a primo location~ too bad they can't provide service and/or food worth coming in for. read more

Damnit! I thought I already posted a review for this place last year and here I find someone beat me to it? Oh well, pretty much what D.J.Y. said. Whenever I don't feel like waiting in a ridiculous line and in need of a quick lunch to take back to the office, I always stop by here. The specials are where it's at. Don't get me wrong, the sandwiches are good, but I have a soft place in my heart on Wednesdays where they serve what I'm assuming is a Costco take home and bake lasagna! The kind I never buy since I am a bachelor and way too much food. Not only is this place great for lunch, their breakfast menu might even be better! Their breakfast Croissant is enormous. With eggs, cheese and your choice of meat: sausage, ham or both! Their breakfast burritos are amazing. The perfect breakfast pick me up and assured to leave you full until lunch or that late lunch. Chili of Rice as D.J.Y. mentioned is a gut bomb. Expect no work after eating this special. Plain white rice topped with chili. Surprisingly good and around $5. Be warned. They also have California rolls, a nigiri combo, fried rice and a lot of other things. The frugal lunch buyers know about this place and keep coming back. read more

The only reason I've ever been here is because it is attached to my work building. They have an excellent location where people from surrounding buildings will stop in for breakfast or lunch, and also foot traffic to/from the train station filters in. The King Dome Deli makes its living based on location, not quality of food. They have a lot of options for breakfast and lunch (lots of sandwiches, soup, some teriyaki dishes, etc.). The prices are fair, but I will generally only pop in here when I'm short on time. The two ladies that run the joint are VERY nice and always happy to see you. They do a great job with what they have. read more

Good food and friendly people. If you're on Amtrak it's a great place to stop for a bite. I recommend the fantastic breakfast burritos here. Soups and sandwiches are great too. read more

For a place in the stadiums neighborhood to be open early, you have to have it -- really something to offer one way or another. This place does and I was in here for coffee and wound up with a full breakfast entrée and sandwich for lunch (take your pick). A great restaurant and delicatessen overall, with great help and it was early enough for this traveler to need breakfast and lunch prepared with TLC before heading home. Great. Really good! read more

This little hole in the wall doesn't look like much when you walk in and I don't think the two Korean ladies who run it speak much English which may have lead to some of the reviews saying they were rude. I was just going to get a sandwich but when I saw the Bebimbob, I had to order. It was really good with lots of veggies and what I think was homemade gochujang sauce. Big portions and will have for supper. They had the A/C off when I came in and turned it on when I sat down to eat there. When I told them I didn't need A/c she asked if it was okay to open door for the breeze to which I said yes. Loving this 70 versus 100 degree I came from. If staying longer, I would definitely go back. read more

I stopped in Monday morning to pick up a sandwich. The lady at the register took off to the back room after I paid her and never gave me my change! I had ordered the sandwich without mayo and tomatoes, and of course it came with those things. They offered to make a new sandwich, but I didn't have the time to wait for it. The first one took long enough for them to make, and I was the only one in there. Too bad. read more

Oh, it's a shame! I really wanted to love this place, but it just met my expectations. I got a turkey and cheese sandwich. I asked for onions on the sandwich and when I got back to work found that there aren't any! I don't know if this means they forgot, or if this means they don't stock onions...I'm starting to think they don't carry any onions because it looked like it was crossed off the menu. They also didn't carry a good selection of cheeses. I thought this place was okay if you are desperate for a sandwich and need a basic turkey & cheese and not any options...but this certainly isn't the place to go if you dream about getting your sandwich done the way you desire (which is basically what I feel the purpose of a deli should be). read more

Ordered the Chili Hot Dog. It was great until I noticed the mold on the bottom of the bread. No, not a small spot that leaves you questioning it, but a large spot that had gone through most of the bun. Uhm, how did you not notice that? So, I'm afraid that's a mood killer. Returned and Refunded. read more

Good basic deli sandwiches. Pretty standard sandwiches and menu items, a little price though. Seem to use nicer and higher quality meats and veggies. Very mom and pop standard deli shop. read more

Underrated Gem of Pioneer Square. I stopped here a couple of times after a walk along the waterfront - its South East of the Ferry terminal en route to Century Link Parking. Some people have very high expectations and they will be disappointed: this is a mom and pop Deli, people!!! You want a more professional sandwich, goto a subway!! Want more artisan food, pay 12$s for less food in a fancy Deli!! But this Deli gives you more bang for your buck than any place nearby. 1) Generous portions. 2) Decent sandwich breads (not just stuff slapped between bread slices). 3) Extras: pickle and mint. 4) Big menu to chose from (including a separate breakfast menu)! 5) Rice based options. 6) Mini mark with Salads, fruits etc. I recommend: - Chicken Pesto Sandwich (spicy) . or - Chicken Panini. Problem: 1) They don't take credit card for purchase under $5. There is a fee-less ATM outside the door. 2) Hard to find if you are not looking for it. Its opposite Cow girls. read more

Food was ok, but the portions were a joke, no free refills.??!! Wtf??? these people are super cheap -.-and only care about money, not a quality product.. Won't ever eat here again. read more
