What a relief that this place simply re-located from its old spot in UW, instead of shuttering its doors! It would be such a disservice to the community here if it were to disappear! Anyways, we stopped here for a quick bite, since it has a very unique Venezuelan arepas that you cannot find anywhere else in the city. We got the sifrina and the Seattle arepas, and the portions were ridiculously generous. The shredded beef and the cheese filled up the fluffy yet crispy arepa shell, which was a delight to eat. It also has a row of different sauces to try on the table we sat down, which made the whole experience more fun. Trying out chipotle sauce and comparing it to garlic habanero sauce was just added an additional layer of fun to eating it in the restaurant. The service was quick and helped us answer how they were prepared. You couldn't ask for more at a place like this. The vibes in the restaurant also definitely improved, since the last location. Much cleaner and more spacious. With the ample parking spots nearby too, it should be easy to access this location from now on. At any rate, amazing Venezuelan arepas place. I'd recommend if you were hankering for a good Latin American food place. Or if you needed some hangover curing greasy food! read more

It's been long I had good Arepa. I tried a place in Factoria mall in Bellevue but that was pretty average. I discovered Arepa several years back in Raleigh in NCSU campus and always felt that's the best Arepa I ever had. But then comes this place which absolutely set the bar even higher. Their Arepas are really good - given I just tried a black bean Arepa - no meat. I loved it. I also enjoyed their sauces and it is just fun to experiment with different sauces and enjoying the flavors. I won't be surprised if all their sauces were housemade. My friend got Chicken Empanadas and this was first time he was having Venezuelian food - he really liked it. We also tried Flan - it was okay. You probably don't want to try lot of desserts here. Ambience is pretty good here. Loved the dining area. read more

I got the arepa combo with the queen beef arepa, beef empanada, and brown sugar lemon limeade. Also pictured is my friend's sampler plate. I have had this place before when it was on 50th and I was much more impressed this time around. I really enjoyed all the sauces they provided for the table: garlic, cilantro, chipotle, spicy, and habanero. The empanada was soooo tasty and the beef in everything was great. The location is conveniently across from a big and pretty empty parking lot so it was also easy to drop in to eat. I will definitely be craving this place again. read more

My go to place for some authentic Venezuelan food. Highly recommended and friendly service. The ambience is inviting clean and plenty of room for a nice size group. The food comes out very quickly especially if you're in a rush or lunch break! Plenty of parking at the location in the Factoria mall. Love the yucca fries, the fried tostones and today I tried a new dish with a delicious fried egg and cheese that caught my eye. I'm a returning guest and suggest you try it too read more

The menu isn't vegan-friendly, but the staff is! They're quite flexible with their arepa options. They recommended a Pabellón where they substituted avocado for the beef and held the cheese. Their beans are vegan. The spicy sauce was vegan. All their other bottled sauces were mayo-based. The Pabellón was delicious, and we all enjoyed fried yucca with guasacaca. The TVs were always somewhat in view, but they were silent. Overall, we had a lovely time and would recommend for vegans and omnivores alike. read more

This is a great place to visit with family coming into town. I took my mom here and she loved it. The inside is not too busy and the tables are a great size. The people were nice too! The lighting is a bit dark but there was a nice fireplace to make up for it. We ordered a bunch of things to try. First, I got the black bean arepa. It has super stretchy yummy cheese inside and gives that satisfying cheese pull. Most of the other items we got also were stuffed with cheese which I loved! The arepa had great flavor and paired nice with the green sauce. We also got an appetizer platter that I don't know the name of. My mom's favorite were the plantains and mine were the yuca fries. Do not sleep on the yuca fries!!! They are so crispy and bomb. My only criticism is that I wish there were more salad options on the menu to balance out the fried food. Everything felt heavy and I was only able to eat half of it. read more

I seriously cannot recommend this place enough for a quick, casual bite! My partner and I ordered takeout and got the Pabellón and Moqui arepas, the yucca fries, mango lemonade, and guayaba juice. Everything was so good we literally went back the very next night and got the same things! The flavors are rich, vibrant, and comforting, and it is hands down some of the most delicious gluten-free and vegetarian food I've had in Seattle. Plus, it's pretty reasonably priced for how fresh and flavorful it all is. The service was quick and the food was hot! This spot is an absolute gem read more

Unlike other quick arepa places, they really put thought into their interior space. It's warm and alive with paintings on the wall. The Seattle arepa featured a crispy and soft masa pocket, succulent beef (perhaps that released too much liquid), and 2 types of cheeses. I loved that there were at least 5 sauces to choose from at will, my favorite being the cilantro mayo. read more

I first had arepas in Arizona and once I got back home to Seattle, I knew I had to find them again! Low and behold: Arepa Venezuelan Kitchen! I have brought friends and family here and I really enjoy it every time. My favorite dish to order is the Pabellon Arepa and add on avocados. It may look like a small sandwich, but it is super filling! It's stuffed with shredded beef, black beans, cheese, and fried plantains. Every bite with the avocado is pure perfection! The tequeños are also a nice little appetizer to share around the table. They're essentially deep fried mozzarella sticks, but with a thicker dough. Hope you find some time to check out this cute place! read more

Service - 1/5. Extremely slow. We ordered at 3:30pm and waited for a half an hour to get our food. Food - 2/5. We ordered #4 pabellon ($11.95) and a parilla plate (steak combo plate; $20.75). They both taste like college food. No wonder it's in a college town and most of customers are college kids. Arepa is definitely filling with lots of beans and cheese. Steaks were flavorful but they were so dry. Ambience - 2/5. It looks like a small old beach house turned into a restaurant. Very casual dining spot. We can see this place being popular among kids and hungry people because those sandwiches fill you up with beans, cheese, and plantains. Nothing is bad, but they taste like someone just cooked for you at the tailgate party. Don't expect to get a gourmet food from here. Overall, it's not our thing. Everything was too greasy and heavy for us. We wouldn't come back here again unless some hungry kids beg to come here together. Now we know. read more

Everything here was delicious! We ordered a few arepas (#4, 6, 7) and the sampler plate. All were good but the ms piggy and pabellon were standout. We were impressed by the quality of meat and the freshness of the dough. Super juicy and flavors well balanced! The sample plate was also good to try as first timers. All was freshly fried / crisp, and was a good opportunity to try all of the house sauces they have in the back :) The owner and staff was so nice, the owner came around to check on all of us individually. read more

I love arepas. Our favorite arepa spot in San Francisco (Pica Pica) was supposed to cater our wedding. Thats how much I love arepas. But even though the service was friendly, Arepa Venezuelan Kitchen just didn't have the quality ingredients I was expecting. I ordered the reina pepiada arepa and the pabellon arepa. The reina chicken salad mix just didn't taste good and the pabellon was solidly 50% beans with lower quality meat. I also found myself not liking the arepa itself as it wasn't soft or fluffy, but hard, toasted, and very difficult to eat. This is the second restaurant in this area we've been to that uses obviously lower quality ingredients, so although the honey had been wanting to try this place, I just don't see us coming back and we will likely be avoiding U District restaurants in the future. read more

I got the best bart and it was pretty good. I added my own cabbage when I got home because it just needed something more than the meat, some avocado would've been great as well (not expecting this of the restaurant of course, just as a personal preference and because I took it home). Though I do wish the cilantro sauce would've been placed in the whole sandwich not just the top because it was a bit dry. But the meat was well seasoned and well cooked and there was a substantial amount of meat. $10-12 seemed like a lot for an arepa but when I got it, I understood the price for sure. I almost couldn't finish it! read more

I was pretty excited to try this spot! Ordered the Sampler Platter ($16ish) and the Arepa Combo ($15ish). The sampler platter was a combination of a bunch of fried items (yuca fries, empanadas, mini cheese arepas, tequenos, plantains). The fried items honestly weren't all that flavorful, but great dipped in the cilantro/chipotle cremas. Chose the chicken-avocado arepa, it was alright. Shredded unmelted cheddar cheese with a shredded chicken breast - avocado mixture (this was pretty mayo-y). All the she shredded cheese was un-melted, which I guess is normal but how much better would it be if it was all melty and crispy!? Was a bit disappointed - I likely need to order other items next time. Food took a but to come out as they were busy. Plenty of indoor seating with an outdoor patio. Staff is super friendly :) read more

Food/drinks: For $23 and some change, I had hands down one of the best lunches of my time in Seattle! An arepa overflowing with juicy shredded beef, crisp yucca fries, fried ripe plantain, and all gluten free and dairy free! The combo is the way to go...but I added another side because it all sounded too good. And it was! Service: Isamaria was an absolute gem! Friendly, helpful, and patient as I spent way too long perusing the menu. Ambiance: It's very chill. Order at the counter, find a table to sit, admire the artwork as you enjoy your meal. SO good!

Also self-serve water and extra napkins accessible which are needed because it's messy eating! Cons: lots of cheese and cream, not a whole lot of flavor, disappointing for my first time trying arepas (I was told they cdd ask be super flavorful). Even the sauces are a little bland.

I haven't had a real Cubano but if it's like what we had at Cafe con Leche then I may need to book a flight. It was so good!

Our server was drifting between Spanish and English and greeted a number of the customers like old friends. Always an excellent sign.

The Ropa Vieja from here was quite good. It came as a very large amount of shredded beef, a smaller…read morehelping of rice, and fries to go along with it. I'll start with the beef, as it was the primary component of the dish. Despite it being flank steak, it was clearly simmered for a long time - and displayed none of the traditionally chewy or dry properties associated with the tougher cut. The sauce also helped - it was very well spiced, and had a slight tomato-like flavor. Mixing this with the yellow rice yielded something that was really satisfying to eat. The combination of sauce, beef, and rice was quite enjoyable, even with mixing the vegetables in for some extra crunch. The portion size of beef was crazy. When combined with the rice, the total amount of food here was solidly enough for two full meals. It is around 20 dollars for the dish, but I would classify that as a good value when you consider how much food you get. On the opposite side, I swapped the maduros out for fries. These...were not good. The fries tasted stale, hard, and not appealing at all. While the portion size was high, the appeal was not. The sauce that came with these was interesting at least. Overall, I think this is a very strong core dish at an impressive portion. Would recommend sticking with the plantains as a side though. 8.5/10

The indoor space is really cute, but I was confused as to why everything was blocked off and restricted to takeout only. I ordered the famous Caribbean Roast sandwich and a side of rice and beans, which came to a little less than $30. While it's a good sandwich, it felt a bit heavy; I really found myself looking for more acid to cut through the fat and grease. I'm glad I was sharing with Jenny because it's quite a lot for one person. I also noticed toward the end that the bread was burnt. Overall, it's a solid sandwich, but between the stomach issues and the char, I'm not sure I'd go back.

Overall the food was very good but I just did not like the bread they used (but that's more of a preference). After I ordered, I realized that it is a Venezuelan place, specializing in Arepa. Next time I go, I will have to try one of the Arepa sandwiches. Prices range from 12 to 15 dollars and my torta was pretty massive. See attached photo. I wish they offer more side dishes to go with the sandwiches but I was told that I went there during an off hour and they only had limited items on the menu. I definitely have to go back and try other dishes. Service was quick and amazing. Staff were very passionate about what they were selling. When I visited, there was construction going on in the area, so there was no outdoor seating or anything. This food truck is sandwiched between a gas station and Pizza Hut, so I probably wouldn't want to hang out there anyway but it's the perfect spot for pick up. Lots of parking space available and it's an easy place to get in and out. They accept all major credit cards.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!
