Catfish with 2 sides
Keyona M.

I was pleasantly surprised by this spot! There weren't any reviews so I took a gamble and WOW. As a Floridian, this made me feel like I was back home and my granny made me a plate to take home!! The catfish was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the greens were SUCCULENT, and the mac n cheese was gooey and cheesy and awesome, and the hush puppies are pretty good!! I used a delivery app and the driver had multiple orders so the food wasn't piping hot when it arrived and it STILL blew me out of the water. My photo is probably terrible quality but figured it'd help somebody

Fried Chicken with 2 sides

I was working through my lunch today so I ordered from Seattle Soul Kitchen through DoorDash. Even though my Dasher got lost in Seattle, my food was still warm and tasted freshly made when it got here. It was delicious!! I really enjoyed it and will be ordering again in the future!

Tried this place for the first time today and it was very offbeat for my liking. To be fair I am very sensible with my taste and preferences and knew eating at a soul food spot would be a gamble. Some places don't know how to do soul food without over seasoning and flavoring the food. Although I am a fan of some soul food nah, and I thought I would really enjoy this place considering I hadn't had any soul food in a while. I called in an hour before closing on a Sunday and was told no phone orders. So I just went in to the location which is a order takeout kitchen for a few different restaurants. No problem, placed my order and waited. I ordered the catfish with lemon pepper, greens and red beans and rice. The wait time was average with the assumption the food is prepared mostly fresh. I didn't realize I had the wrong seasoning on my fish until I made it home. Seems it was some kind of herb seasoning--very flavorful; too much for my liking really. And also for my young child. I was initially hesitant to ask for ANY seasoning but figured lemon pepper wouldn't be too overbearing--but WHOA it just--couldn't enjoy the fish at all. Breading was too much for me as well! Just seemed like too much--ijs. Some people like this--not for my liking. Greens was too salty--I mean okay it's soul food and should have flavor but dang! Trust me y'all --too salty. Once again I kinda felt it would be a gamble trying this place (everybody do soul food different) but I saw the reviews were decent. And lastly, the red beans and rice were Okay! Once again tho I am a very sensible taste and they had a slight 'sour smell/ taste to them. I wouldn't lie! And perhaps I chose to try this spot at the wrong time of day! Last of the batch of food perhaps!!? But still! If you're serving dishes to customers you should check that the food is presentable in taste to be served. I probably wouldn't order here again considering my child nor myself could enjoy this food. On an upside there was a Afro-French cuisine restaurant that also shared this kitchen space. That may be more of my style! Thanks for reading.

10/10... spend your money here mac and cheese= FIRE! greens= CRACK! chicken= DELICIOUS!

I'm not here to discredit anyone's cooking but I had to leave a review. This would be my 2nd time ordering from here and this 2nd order today was very disappointing. My grandson is 9 years old he couldn't help but say the fried chicken was very salty, he really wanted to continue eating because he was hungry so much that he wanted to add syrup to dilute the salt. The greens, were tender and flavorful, Mac and yams were flavorful too. The fried chicken was so salty to me and my 1 daughters as well, dark in color as if the oil is dirty which is why it was salty. The prawn pasta was not prawns after those were very salty as well and not fresh prawns which were fried in old oil as well. The noodles in the pasta were dry dry and no sauce just the dirty oil from the "prawns". I'm sorry but I was highly disappointed because we could not eat the chicken or "prawns" due to the salt and dirty oil they were cooked in.

10/10 would recommend!! Extremely difficult to find good soul food in Seattle & this place was just amazing!! The service & atmosphere were also great! The Catfish is by far the best item on the menu!

I had been to Communion before and was excited to finally take my husband. The menu had changed up…read morea little since my last time but everything was still really good so no complaints there. It is a small spot (sorta) so you kind of get in where you fit in. We ended up at the bar and honestly it worked out perfectly. Our bartender was friendly, engaging and just made us feel right at home. Another staff member came through at some point and was equally as kind. The service all around was great. Now let me talk about the food because that cabbage had no business being that good. I know that sounds random but it was my favorite thing and I did not see that coming. The mac and cheese was delicious, the fried chicken was really good, and my husband was all about the rice and black eyed peas (surprisingly). I also ordered a non alcoholic drink and even though I cannot remember the name it was really good too. The only minor thing was that one of the items, I think it was the hush puppies or cornbread, came out a little lukewarm. They mentioned it can be hard to keep that particular item hot, and flavor wise it was YUM so it was not a dealbreaker. Everything else comes out fresh as it's cooked so just know timing can vary by dish. It did get crowded toward the end and they politely let us know people were waiting outside. They handled it with so much grace it did not feel uncomfortable at all. I will definitely be back. Already curious about what will be on the menu next time.

This was hands down my favorite meal of my weekend trip. I found this spot through TikTok, and it…read morecame highly recommended. We didn't have a reservation, but after about a 10-minute wait, we were lucky enough to snag two seats at the bar. From the moment we walked in, the vibe felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The seating seems intentionally designed to bring people together, and you could see it in the mix of large groups, couples, and even solo diners. Like the name, it had a "communal" energy that made the space feel alive and intimate. The hostess, bartenders, and our waitress were all phenomenal. They were attentive and easy to talk to. Also, the playlist was good. It really added to the overall experience. We started with the sweet potato hoe cakes, and they were absolutely amazing. I loved the texture. They were soft, pillowy, and balanced. They weren't too sweet, even with the honey butter. I wish I'd ordered more to go because I haven't stopped thinking about them. I'll have to try recreating them at home. For my entree, I ordered the stuffed trout, and this is where things really took off. It's a whole fried trout stuffed with a seafood dressing (shrimp, catfish and oysters), and it immediately caught my eye on the menu. I'm not used to eating whole fish, and I don't think I'd even had trout before, but this dish was mouthwateringly good. The fish was crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned. The béarnaise sauce really set it off. There were so many layers of flavor and texture, and everything just worked together perfectly. On top of that, the presentation was stunning. I posted it on my Instagram story and immediately had people asking where my food was as from. This meal was very memorable. I have zero notes. The ambiance, food, music, and service were all top-tier. Side note: There is a 5% "communal" surcharge added to every bill. The money is used to support staff benefits, the support staff, and the line cooks. This is separate from the gratuity. This surcharge is clearly explained on the menu, and I really love and appreciate the transparency and that they care about the employees. But yeah. Super good. We love a good meal and we damn near left there skipping.

It also only had 2 kinds of Vietnamese cold cut meats, which I didn't mind, but it needed more in there. There's a super thin layer of mayo and pate I think. Bread was very fresh! I give 3/5 Kimchi fried rice had good kimchi flavor. Portion size was large. 10 piece fried chicken (wings) was good. The skin was way fattier than I would've liked and it could've been fried longer to help melt some of the fat out and make it crunchier. It was super hot, fresh, and juicy though. Radish was free. It came with sauce but only on the side. Personally, I would want to try other korean fried chicken places to compare before coming back here again Waffle fries come with either ranch or ketchup. Large portion sizes! For all we ordered, it was around $55. Great price for the portions and variety imo. Service was outstanding as I mentioned. One older woman worker felt like she was my auntie. She refilled our water and checked in on us despite this being a place where you go up to order.
