top 10 UNDER-APPRECIATED seattle restaurants

people hate on seattle restaurants a lot. sure, it’s not chicago or nyc, but my goal is to make a list that will make some non-locals a bit jealous… :) 1. carnitas michoacan: it’s hard to find mexican food in seattle, but the southern neighborhood of beacon hill is an oasis of good mexican food. and even employees of the other mexican restaurants admit that they like carnitas michoacan the best 🫔 2. chebogz: also in beacon hill, it’s the rare filipino place that isn’t too greasy for me but is still tasty. very solid comfort food and a small menu (which I like). there’s a really expensive filipino place down the street called musang that is pretty good, but why break the bank? get some bang for your buck at chebogz instead, feat. one of the largest portion sizes in seattle 🇵🇭 3. fortune garden: this is one of those classic big menu cantonese places that are slowly going out of business in seattle. I’ve have had many good experiences here, it used to be my go-to spot when I was taking the train back to the airport. especially like their buddha’s delight— it has so many exciting ingredients for a vegetarian dish and I never quite knew what I was eating. just don’t get the salted fish— that shit is way too salty. 🥠 4. golden daisy: okay I swear this is the last beacon hill place but this is a chinese restaurant with like two employees that looks very janky on the inside. much of the building is unfinished, there are flies, and the cashier chops your meat right in front of you at the counter. and it’s soooo good. food safety is overrated tbh 🦆 5. loving hut: I found this restaurant from a reddit thread about where you can find a cult in seattle. and yeah, there is definitely something off about this place— it’s always screening “supreme master tv” and they have this little altar to a living quasi-religious figure. they also barrage you with every known flavor of vegan propaganda. but it’s chill bc their vegan food is FIRE… I brought a sworn carnivore here once and their “shrimp” stunned him into silence 🛐 6. manao street eats: I used to be a thai food hater, but seattle is winning me over. manao is this fast casual place in cap hill that has no right to be as good as it is. I’ve liked everything on their menu the pad see ew? fire. the pad grapau? also fire. 🍲 7. mark thai food box: pretty similar to manao, it’s this fast casual place in u-district that focuses on bento box-style thai food. idk what these ppl put in their rice but it is very fucking good. expensive for a place where you can’t sit down though. 🍚 8. pi vegan pizzeria: if there’s one cuisine where seattle can punch above its weight, it’s vegan food. to be honest this might be the best pizza I’ve had in seattle, idk if that says more about its banger vegan scene or its depressing pizza scene…🍕 9. skalka: this is a georgian place with one thing on its menu: khachupuri, which is this fucking amazing bread boat. my friend who has had authentic georgian food claimed that it was quite good for a place in america— georgian food being the “italian food of eastern europe”. fun place to take out-of-towners as it is really close to all the touristy stuff at pike place. 🇬🇪 10. spice waala: affordable indian fast casual place in north cap hill with very good wraps. it smells very good in there. the experience is complemented by a visit to nearby ada’s technical books 📚 with all that being said, my fav restaurants in seattle are prob just chipotle and dough zone. go ahead and roast me…

I can't gatekeep this georgian restaurant any longer.

I'm kind of scared to recommend this place because I want to keep it my secret forever. I grew up eating Georgian food so I know a thing or two about it. Ubani in Bay Ridge is in a league of its' own. I have dreams about this place. I only have a picture of the dessert I had there on my last visit, which is traditionally Russian (napolean cake) , but take my word for it. This is the best Georgian food in NYC. It's decadent. Don't pass on the soup dumpling and walnut salad.

Ej’s luncheonette

This is the #1 restaurant that has held me down all these years of living in NYC. I can’t recommend just one dish because in all honesty, everything is great! I never had a bad meal here! It warms my heart when I walk by on a weekend and see the cheery interior packed with people, let’s keep diners and luncheonettes alive!

FEELING grateful

tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
