The more casual sibling spot Revel also recently got a Fremont revival, and serves excellent dumplings, noodles, and rice bowls. Both are open for takeout and limited dine-in. This cozy Lower Queen Anne restaurant serves up contemporary takes on classic dishes like yukhoe beef tartare and haemul pajeon seafood pancake. But the Paju fried rice is the real showstopper with a smoked quail egg yolk centered on the squid ink-blackened, kimchi and bacon-enhanced rice.
Open for takeout, delivery through DoorDash , and limited dine-in service. The new Capitol Hill Korean barbecue spot has launched a takeout and delivery service in conjunction with Pike Place sibling restaurant Chan. The bingsoo shave ice here in the International District and at the Edmonds location is lusciously snowy and comes in a variety of flavors including taro, green tea, and black sesame.
Diners can also get them topped with fresh mango or strawberries.

Committed artisan. Classically trained chef. Practitioner of madcap drinking snacks. Pick your preferred description for Mutsuko Soma, a woman who can cut her own soba noodles by hand, but also make a mean TikTok video starring a maple bar, hot dog, and panini press.
Throw in a cocktail bar, Quoin inside the restaurant, a kids meal, the destination-worthy brunch, and oh yeah—everything is gluten free. Honestly, Rachel Yang might be the closest thing Seattle has to a superhero. Eric Donnelly created the sort of innovative seafood restaurant Seattle visitors expect to see on every corner, in a raw-wood-and-corrugated-metal space in upper Fremont with an urban fishing lodge vibe.
Donnelly bypasses the usual protein-starch-veg combos to architect small plates and larger seafood entrees where every bite is symphonic, every execution perfect the Kari Out calamari has been a classic from day one. This pocket-size lunchroom in Georgetown is hardly the first to adapt bibimbap to our prevailing grain bowl culture, but good luck finding another place that does it so well. In a perfect world, this place would be as Seattle-ubiquitous as Evergreens.
A fortress of brick walls conceals a temple of dining influenced by the grilling traditions of South America, Portugal, the Mediterranean, and beyond. Here, an open grill yields harissa-spiced chicken for the whitewashed, warehouse-like dining room, where diners sit in gaily colored chairs beneath the folkloric Stacey Rozich mural.
In an old Italianate cottage amid an unlikely Georgetown garden, chef Emily Crawford Dann invents, and reinvents, seasonal odes: coho lox with tahini and ginger-marinated celery, or braised beef shoulder with brussels sprout tips, squash ribbons, and hearty caponata. Few special occasion restaurants feel this legitimately special, a magic that even infuses the old wooden chairs and communal tables though currently all dining happens outdoors, on the three patios.
La Catrina, the folkloric skeleton in a grand feathered hat, stars in a colorful band of murals. She looks down on a gently industrial dining room—walls full of art, bar full of mezcal, and a menu full of choices. Tacos, platos, pozole, and mole-drenched enchiladas display both a considerable level of care and refreshingly reasonable prices. Meanwhile, a courtyard out back rises to any margaritas-and-guac happy hour occasion. El Sirenito, the sibling marisqueria down the street, probably belongs on this list too.
The ribs, brisket, and pulled pork are worth the trip, full stop. A light-strung patio shares parking lot space with a pair of hulking smokers. Fried eggplant melts like gnocchi, and the dungeness salad refines sturdy winter vegetables into delicate, almost summery compositions. And yet the results stand out, even in a town with plenty of great seasonal Northwest fare. They amped up her traditional, springy creations with even more filling—half-pound bundles stuffed with pork in red chile sauce, sweet potato in mole, or chorizo and cheese.
A game meat destination with cattle in the name, from a chef who also happens to be a virtuoso with fish. Eric Donnelly, also the chef behind RockCreek, presents less-common meats like bison, boar, and duck in a brick building with the sort of bilevel grandeur that cries out for midcentury chandeliers and a showy central bar.
Preparations cast game meat in familiar tableaus venison in a rich pate, tender wild boar sugo over gnocchi , each one a craveable gateway to these more sustainable proteins.
Plus a few beautiful steaks for good measure. Historical lessons, cultural context, and childhood memories get wrapped around a menu of heirloom grain pandesal, miki noodles, and myriad other smart seasonal creations. Brunchers linger over veg scrambles, rosemary biscuits obscured by savory vegan gravy and the famed cinnamon rolls also vegan. Even devout carnivores appreciate the artful ingredient interplay in hearty lunch and dinner plates, not to mention the plant-filled atrium.
The close-quartered warmth radiates as strong as ever, delivered via a fluffy tortilla espanola, thin slices of cured tuna loin topped with caviar, or acorn-fed iberico pork, criminally tender and further enriched with smoked paprika oil.
Generous pours of Spanish wines only amplify the appeal. Good luck snagging a seat at that copper-topped bar. Before he applied this formula at three other spots around the city, he honed it at his original restaurant. Her Montlake institution opened in , a destination restaurant posting as a neighborhood cafe. If you think Lao food is scarce in Seattle these days, imagine , when plates of phad lao and nam kao first arrived in this chill Rainier strip mall.
The latter, a salad of crispy rice studded with pork and roiling with lime, curry, and coconut flakes, has earned a spot in just about every takeout order or sit-down meal in a dining room with way more polish than the exterior suggests.
The barbecue chicken has its own fervent following. The space is unassuming, almost hidden in the corner of a vast parking lot on Aurora Avenue. Dave Lichterman is an Illinois transplant, but also a pizza scientist, distinguished in the fields of dough-rising and cheese-browning chemical reactions. Beacon Hill sibling Breezy Town adds a dash of Detroit to its pan pizza.
Here chef Daisley Gordon does right by classic dishes—quiche, pan-roasted chicken, oeufs en meurette—and instills in his kitchen the sort of perfectionism that renders even the simplest asparagus salad or brunchtime brioche french toast memorable. The patio hits the sweet spot for another hallmark of Parisian cafe culture, watching all the people go by. Here classics spark with nonchalant finesse: a bibb lettuce and hazelnut salad, one of the best charcuterie boards in the city ranging from jambon to boudin noir.
Just as admirable, though, is the quiet, seasonal invention infusing the menu. Grilled rabe with gremolata accompanies steak frites. Turnip puree sauces an olive-plumped pork roulade, along with a small regiment of baby turnips and radishes roasted stem-on, so the leaves turn to gleaming crisps.
A study in French grace, sans cliche. The closest thing Seattle has to an essential restaurant hides up on the second floor of Pike Place Market. Current chef Matt Fortner yep, the name is pure coincidence puts subtle global touches on beautiful local ingredients. Sandwiches on the lunch menu particularly the catfish deliver the same level of care.
Meanwhile, a foot decorative whiskey barrel behind the bar dispenses aged manhattans, negronis, and other rotating creations. Together as one in a striking neutral-hued space. The dining room takes reservations, but diners jockey for first-come-first-serve spot at the long sushi bar—and its peerless omakase.

The demonstration began typically enough with picket signs and stoic expressions, but escalated as passions consumed the workers. One morning just before dawn I was awakened by what sounded like one car crash after another. Striking workers had commandeered the roof and started throwing furniture down to the sidewalk below.
Appliances went over next. Soon fire hoses were let loose in the stairwells, turning them into waterfalls as the power went out. I checked into a different hotel, but not before carrying luggage down 15 darkened flights of stairs covered with gushing water.
Stunned and stripped of my American sense of entitled outrage, I paid the bill in full without complaint, glad just to get out uninjured. News reports the next day indicated some workers had threatened to throw themselves off the roof next. It is, to Koreans, perfect after all. The conceit of Kalbi Grill is that Korean food does not have a recipe problem, but rather a marketing problem.
Share Facebook Twitter Email Print. Greenwood's Kalbi Grill is doing real, authentic Korean food in a sea of gastropubs, coffee shops and wine bars.
Bibimbap to go at Kalbi Grill. Kalbi Grill broke several long-standing postulates about Korean restaurants: It opened in a non-Korean neighborhood, a non-college neighborhood, throwing itself into an upscale urban mix of locavore bistros, artisan ice cream parlors, gastropubs and wine bars.
