    Mango matcha (seasonal), Veggie Crustless Quiche Bite, cream cheese danish
    Juhi B.

    Great ambiance with chill music. The food is great but the mango matcha drink was the showstopper. The people are also very polite, with prompt service.

    Chipotle Turkey & Cheddar Panini and Summer Flowers Latte
    Serena W.

    Always enjoy the food and drinks here. Great place to come and get some work or studying done. I love lavender so the summer flowers latte was perfect. The chipotle turkey and cheddar panini were also tasty.

    Very busy inside. Cozy and lively today! Service was very polite and the barista explained that my drink takes longer to make. She was brewing fresh coffee for my pour over. I don't mind waiting as they were super nice. Glad I came in. This was my first visit!

    Black sesame latte
    Wennie H.

    I've tried a few things here and nothing has impressed me as much as the cubano! It's smooth, sweet, super delicious and the cinnamon really shines. I added unsweetened almond milk and it was delicious.

    Just an ok breakfast burrito
    Izzy G.

    I feel like there were two different reviews here. I would give my mocha a 4, it was flavorful and a great way to start the day. I would give my breakfast burrito a 3. Coming from arizona, where breakfast burritos are everywhere and competitive, I have to say the burrito here fell short of my expectations. I gave the place of 4 because of the friendly service and comfortable environment.

    Avocado toast

    Food was good Customer Service friendly and courtesy Atmosphere was pleasant Great place for Food And Coffee

    Good place to grab a bite and coffee around Renton. Good service and I enjoyed their drinks more than their food. I'd come back.

    One of their matcha latte offering
    Maiko H.

    Very cute and cozy cafe. We went when it was a bit busy on a Sunday morning - more seats started clearing up after about 10 am. Had one of their matcha latte's and the avocado toast. Both were tasty - the avocado toast was a bit on the salty side for my taste but paired nicely with the sweetness of the matcha latte. A solid place to visit if you're in the area.

    Ube coconut latte
    Semra Q.

    Wanted to try a new coffee spot post gym and this didn't disappoint! Ordered the ube coconut latte with almond milk. Definitely recommend getting it with sweetened almond milk if wanting it on the sweeter side. Personally it was a little too sweet for me so I'd probably order it again with unsweetened almond milk next time. The coconut taste was a bit overpowering but nothing too strong. Quick and friendly service!

    Perfect

The food was delicious, comforting, and full of flavor--it really hit the spot. I opt for the Fried Chicken silog and my wife ordered the Lumpia Silog. What made the experience even more memorable was the hospitality. The owner was there, took the time to chat with guests, and was incredibly kind. As a nice surprise, he even treated us to complimentary turon, which was such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect way to end the meal. It's little moments like that that make a restaurant stand out. Great food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere make Ludi's an easy recommendation for anyone visiting downtown Seattle. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

Listen to the reviews, there WILL be a wait on the weekends... but it is worth it!!! we queued up for about 45 minutes at around 9am on a Sunday. Once you arrive inside you order at the front counter. We had warm & friendly service from the moment we stepped in. We ordered a full stack of the ube pancakes, the combo rice silog plate & then an extra side of beef lumpia and garlic rice. Once we were seated, the food came out pretty quick and we all fell in love. Every single bite was delicious and you can taste the love put into each dish. The ube pancakes lived up to the hype! not too sweet, perfect texture, and a flavor that was so perfect. The combo plate was amazing and I could eat a ton of their lumpia. Ambiance is homey and comfy, with photos all over the walls and a lively atmosphere. The owner himself came to chat with us about the food. We saw him walking around and being present with plenty of customers and that added a very special touch. he even gave us a magnet souvenir to take home. I will definitely be going back next time i'm in seattle and cannot recommend enough!

In the back there is a huge mural of Dolly Parton, Anthony Bourdain, and a tiny Bob Ross in the style of American Gothic. The walls are covered with trinkets from the 80s and 90s like Homies and California Raisin figurines and KISS Pez dispensers. The food: Smashwich - A really good breakfast sandwich. The hash browns give it some added crunch that is surprising but welcome. Chicken in a Biscuit - The biscuit and chicken taste great. It's a bit hard to eat because of how large of a bite it is and how firm the components are. Vanilla Cream Shokupan Doughnut - The donut portion is tasty and there is a ton of whipped cream on this. The cream is quite heavy though and leaves a fatty mouthfeel. Wish this was a lighter cream that's fresh filled into the pastry, but that's another prep step before serving. Overall, really fun place in terms of the decor, music and interesting twists on food. Oodles of nostalgia is always a positive in my book.

We hadn't…read moretried it before, but some friends had mentioned they'd been wanting to check it out too, so we decided to give it a go. I'll be honest--the service felt a bit odd when we first walked in. We were told we could wait a while to get seated at the dinning area or that we could seat ourselves at the bar. Since it was our first time, I wasn't sure if that meant the actual bar counter or tables in the bar area. When I asked for clarification, there was a bit of an awkward pause before someone finally explained we could sit at a table in the bar section. That said, once we got settled, the experience improved. The server who took care of us was very kind and attentive. I ordered my usual go-to at breakfast spots: chicken fried steak with a biscuit. It was really good--definitely hearty and comforting without being overly greasy. That said, it is a heavy meal (fried food plus gravy), so be prepared for a post-brunch nap. The biscuit looked a little underwhelming at first, but it actually tasted great. The overall vibe of the place is very much a local dive bar feel, and the service style matches that. As long as you go in with the right expectations, it makes for an enjoyable, laid-back brunch. Also worth noting--there's a decent amount of parking in the back, which is always a plus. Overall, a solid spot for a casual, no-frills brunch.

The servers were obviously busy, but they ignored our efforts to be helped and 3 other couples got served who sat down after us. When we left, there was only a few people left in the bar, and the servers had turned over. The new bartender/server also ignored us.
