    Amazing sandwiches. Impeccable flavor. Would 100% come back if I'm in the area. The only downside is that it's a little messy with how juicy the sandwiches are, so it was hard to picnic with them, but honestly not even much of a downside since it's how I prefer my sandwiches!

    Scallop in red sauce rice bowl - IG @bougiefoodieboi
    Kyle W.

    I've been to Un Bien 15th Ave NW location (OG location) but this time I went to another location. I've gotten the #1 (their best seller) which is always delicious, so this time I decided to venture toward their seafood options. The pricing is pretty good for rice bowls (probably an underrated order, though slightly smaller portions to the sandwich). I got the seafood in red sauce and got the scallops, which was priced at $10.75 for a satisfying meal - not too big but not too small. Hard to find seafood dishes at this price point so I appreciate it being fairly accessible in price. The red sauce is like a Cajun like sauce but not spicy - it is very flavorful. The pickled cabbage adds a bit of tang to the dish to accentuate the flavors of the other ingredients. I tried a bite of my friend's fish of the day (Mahi mahi) sandwich which has similar fixings to the Caribbean pork sandwich - always love their garlic aioli and caramelized onions. As typical, their sandwiches are very juicy so definitely get your hands messy or try your best eating it with utensils. As someone that enjoys to not get my hands dirty, I'd still recommend using your hands to savor all the flavors evenly in the sandwich! For first timers I'd recommend the #1 but you can't go wrong with other options for sure!

    Vary well may be the best sandwiches in Seattle. We dont eat much meat so my take may be off but if they can make a veggie sandwich this good then I have to imagine there other ones are great as well. We got the tofu delight and it was amazing. The mixture of caramelized onion, fried tofu, fresh bread, and sweet sauce was a perfect combo. The only bad thing is how messy it is which just means its not a first date place but if you can get passed that then it is 100% worth it. The line can get pretty long but it goes pretty quickly so the wait is never too bad. They have two benches for seating that could probably fit 12 people each so sometimes it gets full but they are easy to take on the go and with golden gardens right there it is a good spot to grab on the way. The atmosphere is nice as well. The color and lighting gives the tropical feel it was going for especially at night. The only thing I wish was a little different is the seating which would be super nice if it was a bit more open and had a verity of seating but its a small gripe for a great place. Parking is pretty reasonable since north of it doesnt fill up too quickly but its still seattle so im sure that depends on the day.

    If you're looking for your next go-to sandwich shop, look no further! Un Bien was amazing, and I'm already craving another sandwich from them! This was probably the best sandwich I've had in a long time, and I eat sandwiches ALL THE TIME! I had the Palomilla Steak sandwich, which was amazing. It's cooked to perfection, juicy, the right amount of toppings, and had nice toasted, crunchy bread. My wife had their signature sandwich, The Roast, which was pork, and is definitely a must try for your first visit. Glad I got to eat the other half of hers, in addition to mine! The service and ambiance are super casual! The workers are all extremely friendly, helpful and quick! It's a walk-up counter to order, and self-serve seating, all outdoors. Felt like I was eating in the Caribbean with their setup, music and the vibes. Can't wait to go back and encourage everyone to support this amazing place!

    Oh so I've never had Caribbean food before and I walk up to the window and I said just give me your best sandwich and within I don't know maybe 10 minutes. I have the best Palomilla steak sandwich absolutely must go back for that. Staff is Super friendly super efficient and always extra napkins. Love it.

    While stuck at Shilshole Marina for a boat mechanical issue we grabbed lunch here. So so so good. I might be back for dinner.

    Caribbean Roast Dinner

    I love Un Bien! I've been going here since I was a kid and it was called Paseo's, and I'm still impressed every time. My favorites are the Caribbean roast sandwich, the Caribbean roast dinner, and the corn. For a vegetarian option, my fiancé loves the tofu delight sandwich and dinner. Un Bien has fabulous flavor, generous portions, and friendly staff. The shilshole location has a walk-up window, but they also have a walled-in and heated outdoor area to stay warm in the winter. For the quintessential Un Bien Shilshole experience, go on a sunny day and take your order across the street to the beach for a picnic and swim. There's nothing better than eating an Un Bien sandwich on the sand, while watching the sunset over the waves.

    Yum! We've been to 2 of their locations now and it did not disappoint. I got the tofu delight and my husband got the onion obsession. As we could tell they seemed the same, except one of them has tofu. As for atmosphere, it is a small, open air picnic table type seating area, so there is very limited seating and at peak mealtimes it might be difficult to find a seat, but people are usually willing to share a table. The vegetarian selection was limited, but I would definitely get the tofu delight again. I wish they had more vegetarian options, and also think they should add a compost, because it'd be easy to compost most of the material required to wrap the sandwiches. A hand washing station of some sort would be nice as well. I definitely recommend stopping by for a quick, messy, delicious bite!

    Caribbean Roast
    Lan Anh V.

    I'm not exaggerating when I say that their Caribbean roast is the sandwich of my dreams. The original Paseo was my favorite place to grab a bite in Seattle. I was so happy to hear that Un Bien kept all the same recipes when Paseo closed, so I was excited to finally return here on a recent trip after I moved away from the PNW over a decade ago. Getting a sandwich here was literally the first and most important item on my itinerary. The line is understandably long, but the wait isn't too bad. Seating is very limited, so people often get their orders to go. Their sandwiches are messy to eat, but so worth it. The meat is juicy, succulent, and tender. Pair this with the grilled onions, fresh cilantro, garlic aioli, in a perfectly toasted baguette, and you've got an explosion of flavors for your taste buds. Un Bien is a must-visit spot for any foodie visiting Seattle. If they ever decide to open a location in Austin, I will be the first in line.

    Good sandwhich shop I visited on a recommendation.. many selections on this region specific menu. Fresh, with tender meat choices. The cashier was great! Personally, polite, and added to the good experience. I do recommend asking for many extra napkins. As the sandwhich is just as messy as it is good. The bright colored locations brings a Florida vibe, and was clean and inviting. Currently have one last location to try.

    Caribbean Roast sandwiches and West Caribbean Bowl
    Brian C.

    First time trying this relative of Paseo's which was the original. The sandwich was delicious and no real discernible difference from Paseo - juicy, full of flavor, and just as messy as I remembered. The West Caribbean bowl was somewhat of a letdown. The chips were soggy and not packed separately like they do at Paseo, and there wasn't an option for the roast pork instead of chicken thigh. Service was fast and there is open air seating and a covered area on the side of the of the order window.

    Un Bien is a Caribbean restaurant where the Seaview location is right next to the Golden Gardens beach, which makes it super busy when it's nice out. We wanted to try the pork shoulder sandwiches but they ran out of pork shoulder even though it was around 6pm, so we opted to try the thighs and steak sandwiches instead. The sandwiches were well-seasoned, though the bread they use is a bit too tough for me, and the steak was a bit tough to chew. We also tried the scallop entree, which comes with a beet salad, rice, and beans. The scallops themselves were rubbery and I personally wouldn't get again, but the red sauce was very flavorful and paired nicely with the rice. Salad and beans were nice additions.

I received a promo for $5 off so I tried to use it the previous time, but she didn't know how to apply it. Then another time when I order The Caribbean Plato with pulled roasted pork, when I got home, I discovered the wrong type of meat (grilled pork instead of pulled pork). For these reasons, I didn't go back for a long time. Today, I went again to get take out for my visitors. I called in the order so I didn't have to wait, but Gisela didn't understand my order and kept getting it wrong. I ordered 3 Caribbean Plato with pulled pork, and 1 Caribbean Plato with chicken thigh, but she kept repeating the wrong order back to me (2 pork, instead of 3, wrong type of meat, etc), so I tried it again and again, still no comprendo. I got frustrated and told her that I would just come in person to order. I was in a hurry, but I had no choice. When I got there, I ordered the same thing, but this time, I gestured the type of pork I wanted, using my hands to show pulled and tried to explain that I wanted the shredded kind, not the solid kind). Someone was with me so he heard my order in plain English. As I was waiting for my order, I decided to ask her once more just to be sure that it wasn't the grilled pork bc she made that mistake last time. Then she said my meat was grilling now. I was alarmed since they don't get the pulled pork from the grill. I told her that I wanted PULLED ROASTED PORK, not the solid grilled patty kind. She said something in Spanish to the guy who was putting my order together and he showed me a sample of the pulled pork so I said "YES" that's the one I want. She said they were already cooking the grilled pork. When I told her that she was giving me the wrong order, she said "it's too late". I was so upset so I said, "why is it so hard to understand my order?" Pulled pork is pulled pork, not grilled pork. I never even mentioned the word "grilled". A guy came out from the kitchen so I explained myself and he said what I want is the pulled roasted pork and I said, "that's what I ordered". She tried to explain something to him in Spanish, but he told her to just give me the pulled pork and I was on my way. She just ruined my day, and I could feel my blood pressure rising. I don't think I will ever return again. It's too hard to explain the right kind of meat to Gisela. Dining out and getting take out should be a pleasant experience, not a stressful one.

    How have I been sleeping on this place??…read more Just got back from an awesome Friday night at Lenox, highly recommend. Food: We were thrilled with everything, including the beef empanada they sent out just because. Mofongo: prawns with mashed plantain and a broth to die for Pollo al Carbon: chicken with the right amount of smokiness and sauce Coco Greens: hands down some of the best greens and potlikker we've ever had Tostones - couldn't stop eating these Red Beans and Rice - perfectly cooked Service: outstanding from the host to our server Marcus to all the staff. It's friendly, comfortable and fun Ambience: Most of the tables turned over during our 6:15pm dinner but we were never rushed and while the restaurant was full, it never felt too crowded or loud. All ages were there on a Friday night from families to millennials to older couples out on a date. Fun to see such good food uniting everyone. We will definitely be back!

I have had my fair share of visits to NY but clearly need to trying the PR food there and also need to prioritize going straight to PR as well. Ive had the food in Cuba and this was nothing close to that so, let move on. We had the Pollo al Carbon, Coco Greens and Hushpuppies. For drinks we had the Rhude Boy and Sandia. The Pollo al Carbon was not good at all. The chicken was smoked (dry) and the sauce underneath it taste like nothing. The veggies and potatoes were good though! The Hushpuppies tasted more like cinnamon and were simply not good. The Coco Greens tasted like kelp and coconut milk. Service was also decent! Our server was kind and friendly despite us returning the first thing that came out, the Hushpuppies. The drinks were made and sat for about 5mins after the bartender made them while our server was stocking silverware. Despite the food being nasty and the drinks taking some time to be served, I appreciated that they included gratuity for the sake of supporting staff. Overall, I liked the drinks but truly could've lived without the food.
