    salmon collar sinigang and bangus with rice
    Wendy K.

    Always so comforting and delicious came right when they opened on a Sunday, has been awhile since I've had a chance to dine here. Love being able to chat Auntie Lei. My friend and I shared the Trust Me Plate we had both been wanting to try it for awhile.. and were also lucky enough to get a couple of Auntie's wings. Every one is always friendly and food comes out fast. One of the fun parts is reading the signs while you're sitting at the lunch counter

    This is my first time here and I can definitely see why it's so highly rated. It's in pike place, and they are popular as there was already a line right when they open. They only have a few seatings so either you have to wait or do take out or fine seating elsewhere. The person taking our order is very friendly. She treated us like a friend rather than a customer. We ended up getting 1/2 sinigang and pork adobo. It was a good portion. Both was very tasty. The pork was very tender and soft and the dish itself was balanced. The sinigang was definitely sour but in a good way. My husband loved it. The only reason for a 4 star is because I think it's pricey. The food is good but I don't think it justifiy for the price. It was $28 for what we got.

    It was not good at all. Just being honest here. Everything is watery even the inside of the longanisa. Not sure why people like this place. Location: It is located at Pike Place Market. You have to go inside of the market and it looks like an eatery. There is only bar chairs so its a little bit uncomfortable. There is a line when I went there. Service: they were nice and apologetic about the line. Food: Everything was not good. This is not how Filipino dish should be made. LONGANISA: i dont know but the sausage is very watery inside, it could be good if it is not soggy. The rice is not cooked as well it has too much water. The noodles that comes with it is bland. ADOBO: this is not how adobo should he made. It was watery and there is no adobo flavor. I felt like they boiled it in water and put soy sauce on it. It is very watery. SINIGANG na SALMON: this might be a little better. Its sour but the salmon is the head so there is not that much meat on it. Price rating: 10/10. Very expensive for not so good meal. around $22 per meal. Never will come back here. I felt that people that come here never tasted what a real Filipino food supposed to taste like.

    No frills, no fuss. You order at the counter, then sit down and they bring the food to you. And this is a storied place at Pike Place, and the wall of visitors and recognitions lets you know its past. It certainly is a home cooked food experience, you are seeing them cook right in front of you. I got a half and half - so salmon tip sinigang soup and chicken adobo which came with pancit (noodles) and garlic rice. The soup is so perfect on a rainy day. It warms from within, the herbal sour notes. It's not heavy, it's light but it is definitely plentiful. Just be careful of the fish bones. The vinegary chicken adobo is also like a hug in a bowl, eaten with the rice. Would absolutely recommend anyone who visits Pike Place to not miss this place.

    I came with my fiancé to Pike Place around 2pm on the 4th of July. Unsurprisingly, the market was incredibly crowded and everything had a long line. We were so hungry and by some miracle found Oriental Mart which did not have a line at the time. I had read very good reviews online about it and know they won a Classics James Beard award back in 2020. They were sadly out of everything (including the salmon sinigang) but they did have chicken adobo so we ordered two. The kind woman at the counter offered to give us leftover broth from the salmon sinigang though to try for free! I ordered a lumpia on the side as well to try. This is such a cute casual spot in the market that offers some counter seating around the sides of the business. The place feels super comfy, homey, and welcoming. For our food: - Lumpia: super crispy and delicious! The filling was generous and had the perfect level of savory which really contrasted that addictive sweet/sour lumpia sauce. These are thin but pretty long so you can easily share! - Chicken adobo: what a filling and nourishing plate!The chicken was tender and fell off the bone. The seasoning was perfect and not over salted (if anything under salted for a restaurant) but to me that made it taste so homemade! This came with a side of the fluffiest white rice, and delicious pancit. It was my first time trying pancit but I loved it! The noodles had the perfect thin texture and flavor, combined with the texture of the veggies... divine. - Salmon sinigang: like I had said, we only tried the broth since they had ran out by then but this was delicious! The soup is sour, aromatic, umami, and has hints of salmon which make it feel healing and warm. I definitely want to come back to try the full plate. Overall, this cute little stall offers delicious Filipino food that tastes homemade and authentic. I loved how casual it feels and nourishing the meal was. Would come back in the future to try more dishes (and get more pancit!!) Definitely a gem in Pike Place!

    Oriental Mart is a familiar and long time lunch spot that serves Filipino comfort food in the heart of Pike Place Market. The dishes are classic "carinderia" style and exemplifies Filipino home cooking. Their service was warm with a smile. Their bar top seating arrangement brings back childhood memories of road side eateries in the Philippines. For lunch, I decided to stick with the usual chicken adobo plate and a two piece order of lumpia. The order came with side of pancit and steaming hot rice. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a perfect balance of vinegar and soy sauce. The pancit was also delicious and went well with the adobo plate. The lumpia was crispy, well-seasoned, and fresh out of the fryer. It wasn't until I was done with my food that I noticed a banner mentioning Oriental Mart's 2020 James Beard award. There's also a wall of handwritten notes to customer located just behind the seating area. The piquant wit made me chuckle and was a nice read as I ended my meal.

    Longanisa plate
    Aljone T.

    I first saw Oriental Mart on YouTube with Marcus Samuelsson, so I knew I had to check it out. Tucked in the heart of Pike Place Market, this Filipino food stall is a cultural gem. There was a line when I arrived, but it moved fast so that was not an issue at all. I ordered the Longanisa plate with garlic rice, pancit, and sweet vinegar sauce. I also asked for the rice to be smothered in adobo sauce. I would probably skip it next time since it clashed a bit with the Longanisa. Still, everything was packed with flavor. The Longanisa was tender and sweet, balanced perfectly by the savory garlic rice. And I'm not even a pancit fan, but I finished every bite of that! Now the lumpia? Absolute star. It was made fresh when I ordered, insanely crispy, and somehow still melted in my mouth. Also Don't assume they're the typical bite-sized kind, they're HUGE!! Don't make the same mistake I made and order 4, unless you are super hungry. Overall, Oriental Mart is a must-try spot in Seattle, especially if you're craving authentic Filipino comfort food. The service was very welcoming, they were very fast and efficient, and I can tell they cook every meal with love.

    When I'm in the mood for a quick Filipino food fix, I head over to Oriental Mart in Seattle, WA. I was shopping at Pike Place and decided to give it a visit, since I haven't eaten from here in awhile. The menu changes every day, depending on what Aunty feels like making! It is a family-owned small business, ao please be patient with them when ordering and waiting on food. Some of the items that I have seen sold here is sinigang, porkgasantis, lumpia, and many more! - *Longanisa *Pancit *Chicken Adobo - Aunty and staff are always nice. You can dine in if you want, but just know it is counter seatting and very limited space. I would suggest taking it to-go if you want to avoid crowds or want a quieter spot to eat at. This spot is hit or miss tbh on consistency, but I rated it a 4 because I've had more good meals than off one's from here.

    DON'T SKIP THIS PLACE! Huge shoutout to Infatuation IG for the recommendation, because this spot is so easy to miss--it's tucked behind a market! Tiny little joint with some bar seating, but it feels like you've just crashed a family dinner. The sinigang? *Perfectly* sour. And the salmon belly? Total game-changer. Plus, they serve everything with rice *and* pancit, so you'll be stuffed to the brim. I couldn't finish it all, which turned out to be a blessing because our hotel had a microwave, and I got to enjoy it again later. Win-win! Also, the signs posted around the kitchen are entertaining, and the vibe is so chill--listening to the staff tsismis felt like crashing a family party. This place was pure joy, honestly. Proof that great things come in small packages. 10/10, would definitely come back!

    I may be bias, but I highly recommend trying this spot! We unfortunately arrived when they were about to close, but the owner told us to have a seat and they'll get our order ready. I felt at home and I love how she just started a conversation with us. We ordered the salmon sinigang and it just hit the spot. I wish I could try the other food selections, but the flavor of the sinigang is so gooooood. Keep in mind, seating is limited. And it may be tough finding this place, just know it is near the popular Public Market sign.

    Long overdue review from my trip to Seattle! Came from the Bay Area, CA. I've been wanting to try O Mart out after seeing this place on one of the vlog channels I watch LOL First, let me just say, this little shop/restaurant is a home away from home. The Aunties who work here are so kind and funny! As for the food, the longganisa was so yummy, one of the best I've had. We also ordered a chicken adobo for a friend and while waiting for it, Aunties were conversing with us and even gave us a small portion of their chili beef to try (delicious btw!) If you find yourself at Pike Place, please try O Mart out! Yummy food and great service!

    A tiny mom-and-pop stall nested in the heart of pike place, but they were busy. You order your food at the register and grab a seat. There's limited seating that is bar-like around the stall, with bottles of vinegar on the table for you to share with the other patrons. While this was not the best Filipino food I've ever had--it's delicious. The plate comes with pancit, garlic rice, and your choice of protein. I had the longinisa plate which came with four sausages and it was yummy. I've never had this brand(?) before as it's softer and doesn't have the usual snap when you bite into it, but i think i prefer it this way.

    Paulo P.

    Visiting from the Bay Area, CA and this was such a pleasant place to stop and eat at. I had the longganisa plate and they also put some of the adobo sauce on top of the rice. Good portions, and some delicious home cooking. Incredibly kind service and they even gave us samples of the chili beef which was also really good. Please come stop by and support them

    As of July 2021, on which days is lunch available here? Trying to plan a visit, but don't want to miss the food if it's not every day.

    They are open every day for lunch other then monday. It is a lunch counter that opens at 11 and closes when shes out of food or 4pm. Whatever occurs 1st.

    Does this restaurant offer delivery, I've looked everywhere on delivery apps but can't find it? Also, the link to their Facebook website seems broken to me.

    I don't believe they do delivery. They don't have a real big menu right now they have a table set on the side facing the street that goes through the market and you can order from a list of items available.

    What are the hours for getting the salmon sinigang? I am getting conflicted info- are they open from 9-6pm or only for lunch 11-3?

    11-3pm Thur-Sun or until they run out of food. This is just temporary until the next phase.

    Can I order for togo? I would like to try the sinigang but i live quite far away so i wanna buy a bunch then save jt for later

    Yes, I recall a few people ordering to go orders!! The line can be long but worth it.

    Do they serve dinuguan there daily or is it a special dish only served once in a while?

    Just once in awhile but if you call and ask for Leila she will let you know what day she'll make it

The owner was super nice enough to gift my mom a bottle of tanduay. My mom has always been looking for one in WA state but couldn't find, she uses this for cooking and surprisingly the owner just gave her a bottle for free. O_O E

Ended up with the Plate of Nation combo to share Chicken Adobo (fried) with the 6 lumpia and plate of the Island Combo which came with pork ribs, shrimp, longanisa, Calamansi drink and Cassava Cake. The verdict, Wow. really tasty Filipino food, way better that the over-rated one at Pikes. I like the fried chicken adobo style with the gravy , the pancit, the lumpia, longanisa, ribs, everything was so good, major comfort foods while at Seattle. The calamansi drink was so refreshing.

Even during a busy late afternoon, the chef handled guests with ease and a big smile, serving beautifully executed dishes and cocktails. Very impressive. We'll definitely be bringing friends here next time we're in Seattle. Tip: They do true Thai spice levels here--proceed with caution."

    My office building uses Lish catering to provide pop-ups in the lobby every weekday of different…read moreeateries from around the Seattle area. Our office gets a list of the weekly offerings on Monday, so when I heard that later in the week there would be Salu-Salo Filipino Kitchen, bringing Filipino food, I most definitely made lunch plans. I was coming in from a meeting in Fremont, so didn't go to the pop-up/Salu-Salo Filipino Kitchen as soon as it started service (around 11am). With that said, I nearly missed out on the chicken adobo! I took the last of the chicken adobo an hour and a half after the lunch service started, so was counting my blessings! I ordered the lunch plate, which came with chicken adobo, pancit, rice and pickled veggies. My lunch plate was solid. Chicken adobo was tender and really, really liked how vinegar-y the flavor was, which, any Filipino would tell you that all food tastes better with vinegar! Pancit wasn't bad, but not the best. Some of the noodles were on the dry side, but I did like the cabbage and green onion throughout. Pickled veggies were a nice addition, adding more sour flavor to the overall entree. For someone who hardly ever has Filipino food and desperately misses mom's cooking, I was just happy to have Salu-Salo bring some adobo to the area. I would definitely recommend checking out Salu-Salo if you ever see their stand around. They don't update their social media channels, unfortunately, so is a little difficult to find where their stand will be. And when I asked if they participate in any markets, they do not. But the owners did mention that they visit downtown Seattle often at other office buildings around. Therefore, I have a feeling I'll be seeing them soon and getting my Filipino cuisine on. (Plus, bonus points for the owner being from the Bicol region of the Philippines, which is where my mom's side is from. Love that!)

    Salu-Salo put Fillipino food on the map for me, and thank god for that…read more I do not know why it has taken so long for this cuisine to become popular in the U.S. because frankly, its freaking delicious! Salu-Salo offers a wide variety of dishes with unique flavor profiles. With some of the dishes, I can't compare them to anything I have ever tried before. For example, my favorite dish on the menu is the Laing Express, which is made with coconut milk, taro leaves, topped with a delicious crispy piece of pork belly. With a topping of pork belly, how could anything go wrong? This dish has an amazing earthy flavor, with a bit of a kick to it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. How often to you get to eat purple desserts? Ube cake gets its color from purple yams! Salu-Salo's ube coconut topped ube cheesecake balls are not just adorable, they are addicting. Not overwhelmingly sweet, and perfect for sharing, these are a treat. For those with dietary restrictions, Salu-Salo is a great option because there are plenty choices. As someone who is gluten free, all of the main dishes are fair game. This is often very rare when dining out for me!! Here's to Salu-Salo for exposing Seattleites to what Filipino food is all about. Rosario's cuisine feels like a healthy take on comfort food. Each dish bursting with flavor, yet still accessible to all ages. The idea behind comfort food is all about the thought that goes into the prep. After tasting Salu-Salo's food, I promise you can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation of each dish. I am looking forward to this becoming a Seattle institution, and hope it inspires more Filipino cuisine to start popping up in the PNW.

Got the half spicy half normal and dusting of spice was perfect. The fact that this is gluten free (which is fantastic for all GF folks in our family) is even more Amazing how they got everything right with the crunch and flavor. Potato skins and garlic rice were good too, though less garlic would have been better. Could easily make this into a garlic egg fried rice and larger portions. The staff were super attentive and took time to explain everything to first time visitors. Steady stream of take out orders as seating is limited. Would come back to try the other sides too. Happy to report no reaction for gluten free member of our family, top marks for safety.

    My boyfriend and I discovered this place years ago and I forgot to review it back then but I'm…read moreexcited to share my review on this most recent visit. We brought a friend along as we were hanging out at the nearby convention but we have been wanting to revisit and we love Filipino foods/flavors. My boyfriend got their chicken pot pie and cornpilog while I got their bicol express. Our friend got their bicol express and pork sisig. I did come there as I saw they serve kare kare on Saturdays but apparently not until the afternoon, but we arrived around 10am. We wanted to know what was in their Filipino breakfast as everyone was getting that but we saw that they were re-stocking it but by the time my boyfriend got to order, they were sold out. My boyfriend really loves this place, he says with full confidence that this is one of the best restaurants in Seattle. He demolished his cornpilog, no crumb left behind and pretty much finished the chicken pot pie. The bicol express was absolutely flavorful with the meat being so tender. The bread outside is perfect. Our friend was happily impressed and said he would definitely have to come back to try out more. We wanted to try more, especially their dessert ones! We also got their drinks to go and they had sold out of the ube baby so my boyfriend got their tsokolate mocha and I got the pandan caramel. The drinks were smooth and enjoyable but I felt the flavor was underwhelming, I could barely taste the pandan and even caramel but it was delightful. The inside is very spacious with tables with booths and chairs. They have several types of hot sauces, self-serve water station and a obvious area to place your dirty dishes in. The staff members were very welcoming and ensured that you get everything you wanted. There are restrictions of how many pastries you can get, but it is appreciated as honestly it's hard not to get more than one. They have a lot of savory and sweet options, including vegetarian and vegans ones too.

This spot is located next to Phe where street parking will be your best bet. Inside, they have a cozy interior with a solid amount of seating. Wifey and I stopped by with our homies to grab some pastries for breakfast. They had so many good options to choose from but we ended up getting a spread consisting of the Seattle Dog, Pork Sisig, Garlic Beef Asado, Pork Liempo, Cornsilog, and the Matcha Strawberry Cake. Everything that we had was delicious with familiar Filipino flavors. Overall, I am glad we got the chance to check this spot out. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. You really cannot go wrong with any pastries you order here, but I would highly recommend the Garlic Beef Asado and the Cornsilog. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

    I wrote a negative review last October and decided that rumors of declining quality and service…read morewere true. I hadn't been back since. But I needed to order and pickup food for a potluck, and FilCuisine is the nearest place to get Filipino food for me. So I gave it another chance. Pancit bihon and lechon kawali were excellent. Now, service is still an issue. There was one server/cashier and I felt really sorry for her. She was doing her best to keep a smile on her face, and I wanted to give her flowers or something. So maybe until they get their staffing fixed you can consider getting takeout instead? I will -- I'm a lazy cook who constantly craves for food from home. I'm rooting for you, FilCuisine -- fighting!

The vibe is pleasant, the service was adequate. The only Filipino resto so far I've seen big portions. Nice! Impressive. The foods are delicious. We had several dishes that filled us and had left overs to take home. Pinapaitan had the right bitterness and well balanced-not overwhelming from what I've experienced in the past. We had 2 breakfast plates: Bang-silog and the Tapsilog. I also ordered tortas talong. I thought we went overboard but I'm sure we can eat the rest at home with no problem. The bill was just right and the whole experience was pleasant and enjoyable. I recommend it.
