- YyounesSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoEverything was outstanding from the food and service to the ambiance! I especially want to thank Maddie from management for coming by to check on me and making sure everything was taken care of. My server, Jade, recommended the wings as an appetizer and the Mediterranean bowl for my entrée, and both were a 10/10! Her service was phenomenal, friendly, and welcoming. I also want to give a shoutout to Kari, who wasn't even my server but still went out of her way to stop by and make sure I had everything I needed, even though her section was far from mine. She was incredibly friendly and caring. The teamwork at this place really speaks for itself. Everyone made me feel welcome and treated me like a regular, and after this experience, I definitely will be one! Thank you to the entire team for creating such a wonderful experience.

Discover South of Seattle
Whether you're headed into or out of the city, there are many wonderful reasons to linger south of Seattle. The dining options here are more laid-back but with the same quality you'd expect in the big city. Classic American seafood is still in high demand, but the area also supports less common cuisines, like Caribbean and Thai.

Pan-Asian fare abounds. You'll have your choice of everything from traditional miso soup to Thai swimming rama.
