I can't remember what brought me to booking a reservation here for our family, but boy am I glad I…read moredid. I could just tell this restaurant was going to be a great experience from the moment we arrived. Friendly staff greeted us as we arrived and quickly showed us to our table. The atmosphere was warm and energetic, full of diners eating, drinking and enjoying conversation. After a quick scan of the menu, we quickly made our decision to order as many dishes as we could and share. We went for the beef tartare, Chinese scallion pancake, smoked tofu, kimchi trio, spicy rice cake, Chinese broccoli, "that" short rib steak, Kalbi burger, and the kombu cured mackerel. Everything was #brokedamout. The standouts to me were the scallion pancake, short rib, Kalbi burger and mackerel. Parking is available on the street and in private lots. We're already trying to figure out when we can get back here again before we leave. We'll certainly be back.

Ambiance:…read more4 stars- noise about average bit the tables were set far apart which was nice Food: 4.5 stars Street parking but we lucked out right in front. We got ordered the smoked tofu, green tea duck, spicy rice cakes, mackerel. The duck and rice cakes were my favorite. It was just enough for 3 of us (not big eaters). We also got a complimentary dessert for a birthday celebration and we also orders the strawberry potentially cake. We would definitely come back to try more as the burger and short ribs looked good.

The place is gorgeous, especially the patio, and the staff were absolute pros at wrangling us to a table. The meal was a hit across the board: my husband's tofu curry and my daughter's drunken noodles and rolls were all fantastic. My fresh tofu soup was admittedly a bit "Zen" (read: plain), but I'm a fan of that understated vibe. The real star, though? The black rice pudding. It was so good I actually stopped to admire the decorative bowl it came in--a sign of a truly elite dessert. My son, admittedly a picky eater, however, ordered the fried chicken and was thrown into a brief existential crisis when it arrived with a sweet sauce. He was fully prepared for a savory-crunchy showdown, and not at all the fault of the restaurant. My family enjoyed his leftovers.

Today wasn't the travel day I had planned. While on a work trip, I received some difficult news and…read morehad to cut the trip short and head home. Before my flight, I decided to stop at Salty's for breakfast. I'm a sucker for crab, but I wasn't especially hungry, so I ordered a cup of the chowder with crab. It turned out to be one of the best cups of chowder I've ever had--rich, flavorful, and loaded with crab. I sat at the bar, where Joyce took great care of me. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made an otherwise difficult day a little easier. Great service can make a real difference, and she absolutely delivered. Salty's isn't the cheapest dining option at SEA, but between the quality of the food, the relaxed atmosphere, and the outstanding service, I think it's well worth it. If you're looking for a great meal before your flight, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

2.75/5 -- Came in with high expectations given the reputation and the prices, and left…read moreunderwhelmed. The good: the seafood chowder lives up to the hype. Rich, loaded with clams, easily the best thing on the table. Fries were also solid. The halibut fish & chips ($46 for three pieces) was the letdown. The fish was over-fried to the point that it fell apart as I ate it -- disappointing for a fish of that quality at that price. Halibut should hold together in firm, flaky pieces; this didn't. But the real issue was the service. What made it impossible to write off as a busy day was that my server was attentive to the table right next to me -- she asked the gentleman beside me how his meal was and refilled his water, while mine sat clearly empty and I was never checked on once. No introduction, no recommendations, no plates cleared. When I asked for something as simple as pepper, I got attitude, like I was putting her out. I typically tip 25%. I left 15% and honestly felt that was generous for what I received. At these prices, the food needs to be executed properly and the service needs to match. The chowder alone isn't enough to carry a $60+ meal. Would I come back? Maybe for a cup of chowder at the bar. Not for the full experience.

Came with a group of about 15 people initially we ordered to share as a group but all the food was so good. Everyone just ended up eating the entrées that they ordered. The crying tiger was not too spicy ordered with a side of rice, shrimp, vegetable, lettuce wraps also fresh with great peanut sauce. The decor and ambience is fun and lively, we celebrated a birthday there they brought out a sparkler on a dessert and came out and sang. Located in downtown, it was easily walkable to and from our location.

Food came out really quick after ordering so the service was quick. But the flavors did not hit as much. Parking here can be tricky since it's in belltown. You will have to find paid parking spots.
