Caprese
Diana C.

The sandwiches here are so very good! The servers were friendly and efficient with getting food out. The packaging was really good for to go as well. There's a few spots along the wall with bar stool type seating for dining in. They get really busy and do sell out so go early if you're looking for something specific. They also do have several vegetarian options for sandwiches and possibly one might be vegan. For the salads and hot food there might be more vegan ones depending on offerings that day but not as much selection there and everything is pre-made so there's no customizing as a heads up. You can order a half or a whole sandwich though so you can try multiple and the prices are really good. Will def be back for another caprese and to try the eggplant parm.

First time walking down Pike Market Place and was super overwhelmed. It felt like there were never ending lines for a bigger name places. Michou may not have had a long line that extended outdoors but their food was good. There is a water dispenser with paper cups near the front of their entrance for the public. Since it is small, there were some area near the window counters where you could eat but we went outside in the back to eat. The sandwiches can either be ordered whole or in half and they ask whether you want it toasted or not. We got ours toasted and they cut the sandwich in half and put it in a sandwich bag for easy consumption. I forgot the name of the dessert/bar but the chocolate was extremely rich and thick. For the price I felt like this was an amazing value.

Don't skip this spot! It's easy to miss it when navigating the Starbucks crowd, but tucked inside is an incredible deli offering high stacked and deliciously fresh sandwiches, paired with sides and soups. There's so much to try here, and I'm going to slowly work my way through all the different sandwiches they have to offer. Service is quick and welcoming - don't miss out!

Crispy chicken, arugula, pesto and provolone...half sandwich 6 bucks!

This place continues to be one of the biggest bangs for the buck in the entire Pike's area! Super fresh sandwiches (1/2 or whole!)...perfect for lunch! Great little counter top seating.

Walked in and the whole array of sandwiches are on display and I'm a sandwich guy. I do love a good sandwich with kick. They have a good amount of options but needed something just right... I chose the Tuscan crispy chicken and wasn't disappointed. There's parking noodles flavors and textures are everything you'd expect when you look and the food. Too many options, but definitely need to return for more.

Sandwich display. They have much more food items for sale.

More like 4.2 stars, but tie goes to the runner in this case because its hard to find affordable food in the market. I would say their sweet spot is their sandwich selection. Some sandwiches are better than others, also look out for the quality. I pretty much always get the chicken sandwiches with a few sides, but I do have my eye on the tuna sandwich. As far as flavors go, its just good and sometimes ok food. I keep coming over the years because the quality of ingredients. There are many places that serve healthier food and most of them are kind of bland. This place seems to rely on its ingredients. I honestly appreciate that they allow people to order half sandwiches at a humanly fair price. Eatting here in expensive downtown Seattle will really make you question the pricing structure of sandwiches in the area. To be even more honest their service is pretty much in line with their prices, darn good once you get past the long line of people wanting to eat. I hear they even serve breakfast. Ill have to keep my that in mind in hopes that I get to try their breakfast one day.... and that its worth all the time and energy of keeping them in my list of breakfast places to eat... with that said, I highly recommend them if you just want a simple lunch with options that doesn't have such inflated prices for the area.

Thai Beef...cut and stacked. Enjoyed this a lot...
Phil P.

Incredibly small spot done at the market. However, their food is phenomenal! Fresh made, toasted, literally melted in my mouth that beef sandwich. Well seasoned. There service is all business because the line gets backed up quickly! I thoroughly enjoyed the food again!

My friend raves about this place and the hype is real. I got a half sierra chicken and although I found my sandwich dry and a little bland, the service and atmosphere were great.

Tuna
Nida H.

Sandwiches are incredible. We had the tuna and the chicken which we took on our hike. They packed well and were the perfect picnic sandwiches! The bread is soft and plush, the flavor was fresh and delicious. Def recommend!

Crispy Chicken and Tuscan Chicken sandwiches
Brian C.

I'm so excited to try this place as many others have review this place. The resounding theme was that this was a great place for sandwiches at a bargain value. The service was fine but not super friendly. You pick out the sandwiches that you wish to try at the counter and wait for it to be heated up in their Panini press. There's a small counter where you can eat the sandwich or it's probably best to take it to go and find a place to sit out in the open at the Market. I tried the Tuscan Chicken sandwich and the Crispy Chicken sandwich, both of which were a letdown because they were flavorless and extremely dry! I had a really hard time finishing the sandwiches. To each their own, but was not impressed. Total for 2 sandwiches was $26, which also wasn't a great value that others have spoken of. Try this place if you wish, but it's not a place I recommend.

Inside
Noopur D.

I heard some good reviews about Michou so we checked it out while in pike place, but to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. While the prices were all really affordable and everything came to about $15 for 3 items, I expected more from the flavors and portions. We got the portobello half sandwich, the pasta bake, and the bambaloni. The sandwich and pasta were just okay - kind of thin and just a bit lacking in flavors. However the bambaloni definitely made up for it since that was soo tasty, fluffy, and the perfect sweetness. Service was good, all the staff were friendly but nothing over the top and the vibes/ambiance were also regularly nice inside. I probably wouldn't go back but cool to try it out!

Beautiful selection of deli foods, easy to order!
Yoona L.

You know that a business is excellent if you have a strong desire to move closer to the establishment so you could enjoy it more frequently. As someone visiting Seattle, I truly wish that I had a restaurant like this where I am from because they offer such a wide variety of delicious foods, and they are all on display. I was not very hungry before entering the establishment but seeing all of the food options glistening behind the counter made my stomach grumble! My boyfriend and I wanted to try a couple of bites because we were tasting many restaurants in the Pike Market but I was struggling to narrow down my choices because I wanted to try EVERYTHING! We ended up ordering the garlic pesto polenta, and a pastry that had a THICK 1.5 inch orange creme filling. Oh my goodness the food was so delicious. The polenta was perfectly soft and crumbled in my mouth and I loved that it had roasted garlic under the melted cheese. I expected the pastry to be heavy and for the creme to be thick but it was so airy! The orange flavor was so subtle and elevated the taste of the pastry so nicely. My boyfriend and I noticed that they offer breakfast foods that are sold by weight, so we took note of this and came back two days later! We got an affordable breakfast to go for the airport! Most importantly, Michou has a cozy, warm ambiance that makes me feel like I'm with my loved ones. I don't know how they achieved it but maybe it was thanks to all of the kind servers/workers and customers!

I got one roast beef with Gorgonzola sandwich ($10). They have lots of diff options as well as other hot/cold food and desserts. I like how they can heat up the sandwich again for you. The toppings are generous. I realized I'm not the biggest fan of Gorgonzola but it was still good! This is a good value especially in pike's place.

this sandwich was highly impressive as the main part of the…read moresandwich, it was pretty necessary that the pork be cooked to near-perfection, and i have to say it was here it gave off a deep, brown-ish color, which showed the extent of it's cooking and marination. It wasn't quite incredibly tender, but the marinade added an absolute ton of flavor. more importantly, it was present plentifully throughout the sandwich, so practically every bite came filled with pork I also have to mention how packed together the ingredients are between the buns. when you start eating, it's inevitable that a quarter of the ingredients will fall onto the wrap below, leaving a nice secondary meal to finish off after the sandwich is done. the sandwich is packed incredibly tight during the wrapping process, but it unravels a bit while eating. for me, the major highlights of this meal was the onions and the aioli Starting with the onions, these may be the best I've ever had on a sandwich. They're caramelized amazingly, placed onto the sandwich in astoundingly large pieces, are crunchy, and there's just a lot of them. They're just wonderful both texturally and taste-wise. This sandwich is absolutely lathered with aioli - practically dripping with it. This boosted the overall flavor so much, especially because this aioli was addictingly good. In my experience, the amount of sauce has been directly proportional to how much I enjoyed a sandwich, and when the sauce is this good - it's even on the top of the bun! - i absolutely loved it Somehow the lettuce stayed crunchy despite all the otherwise wetness going on in the sandwich. Props for that The jalapenos were great as well for that extra bit of spicy - I would've loved to have more of them while the bread was toasted well, the one downside was i thought it was pretty hard and tough, which made chewing kind of difficult. I found my jaw to be pretty tired at the end after eating this. I would've much preferred a softer roll that's easier to bite into I've had similar sandwiches from Paseo and Bongos, and in my opinion this does edge out both of those Comparing to Paseo, the sandwich there has way more oil, making it more sloppy and I do like the bread there a lot better, but the pork feels richer and better marinated here (although less fatty), and the onions are definitely caramelized better here as well. Bongos has a pretty similar level of pork with more, but onions are definitely a step down What moves this place above those two for me is the amount of aioli used here far exceeds those other places, which just makes the overall eating experience better For the price (about 14 dollars) this is a really filling meal

This is THE spot to come before Mariners games or nearby concerts and nobody can convince me otherwise. I've tried them several times in the past and now have my dad hooked as well. Their signature Caribbean Roast sandwich is absolutely phenomenal and I have the hardest time ordering anything else when I'm here. I have tried the nachos version of it before as well, and that's equally delicious. The key is definitely that succulent roasted pork. I will say that the sandwich version is MESSY so don't wear white, and also just be mindful if you have plans after. This year, my dad decided to order a pre-seasoned and smoked turkey from Paseo and my GODDD it was good! We made a gravy from the drippings as well which turned out so good too. We also get their street corn that was said to serve 4-6 but it was generous and we had leftovers. Absolutely a MUST try, 10/10 no notes.

The indoor space is really cute, but I was confused as to why everything was blocked off and restricted to takeout only. I ordered the famous Caribbean Roast sandwich and a side of rice and beans, which came to a little less than $30. While it's a good sandwich, it felt a bit heavy; I really found myself looking for more acid to cut through the fat and grease. I'm glad I was sharing with Jenny because it's quite a lot for one person. I also noticed toward the end that the bread was burnt. Overall, it's a solid sandwich, but between the stomach issues and the char, I'm not sure I'd go back.

I've had my eyes on the Fast Eddie ever since I heard about this place because it was one of the most recommended sandwiches. The ambiance was alright. Pretty dark imo but maybe because it was just after Christmas and they had their holiday decor up. Also the bar area was closed. I was a bit confused on where to order until I realized there were kiosks by the front counter. It would've been nice if one of the workers actually had said something to me. Anyway, onto the food. I got the Fast Eddie with fries and it was alright. The meat was bit dry. Yes there was the au jus to dip in and it helped quite a bit, but all the flavors just didn't mesh. It was basically an ordinary french dip. The fries were okay, but the jalapeno aioli was great! That made everything better, but not enough to save the sandwich.

Located in the Seattle Center Armory, along with many other food vendors, Big Mike's Sandwich Company is serving up huge cheesesteaks, chopped cheese, and other East Coast-style subs. For $25, I picked up the cheesesteak and fries combo. Not a terrible price for the portion. Waited about 10-15 minutes for the sandwich to come out. You order on a tablet here, and then they call your name. It's a small storefront, so you really have to stay nearby to hear your name being called in the large space that is the Armory. Not much interaction with staff. Plenty of seating throughout the Armory, though shared with other restaurants. The food came out piping hot. Obviously, they cook everything fresh to order because the inside of the fries was like lava. The fries were thick-cut and seasoned to perfection. The sandwich was good. I thought some pieces of the steak were a bit tough, and the roll seemed a bit over-steamed or possibly stale. A good sandwich and decent portion, nonetheless. I'm still going 5 stars here. I think Big Mike's is a great choice if you want a hearty, meat-filled sandwich and you happen to be in the area. However, I think you could be happy with another dining option in the Armory, too.
