Seattle Locals Sought for Hidden Eatery Recommendations by Today
Help me narrow down the best hole-in-the-walls for a story (on a deadline!!)
I'm a local and am having a TOUGH time narrowing down the incredible Seattle hole-in-the-walls to include in a story I'm writing. There are just too many. Due to my word count, I only have space for 2-4 more, so I wanted to check in with other locals and see which of my favorites are most-loved. Which would you guys pick? Which are you not a fan of (I know I might be in the minority on some of these)?
Here are your choices:
Community Grocery & Teriyaki
Saigon Deli
Pigfish Cafe
Plaza Garibaldi
Betsutenjin Ramen
Okinawa Teriyaki
Zouave Restaurant
I'm tempted to include Un Bien, but it's so popular and frankly, I haven't eaten there enough to decide if all of the offerings together justify including it. Ideally, I want to highlight spots that aren't as hyped/on the radar of tourists and don't have more than one location, but open to making exceptions.
Here's what I'm including, outside of the above:
Kathmandu MoMoCha
Toshi's Teriyaki Grill
Jack’s Fish Spot
Falafel King
El Cabrito
Mama Sambusa Kitchen
Seattle Fish Company
Cedars of Lebanon (I know they might close, but I have to include -- they're too good)
Pacific Inn Pub
Indian-Nepali Kitchen
Los Costeños
Seattle Fish Guys
Aladdin's Gyro-cery and Deli
Slice Box
La Cabaña
Feel free to share your thoughts on these places too. If you have a place that's amazing and super hole-in-the-wall outside of what I'm already including and the selection I'm trying to narrow down, let me know and I can try it before writing. I'm especially interested in hidden spots (think, eateries tucked inside markets, fish purveyors that can cook up on the spot, etc.)
