Need to have two or more sandwiches here before I give it 5 stars but if the others are as good as the Caribbean Pork Roast, I'll be changing this review for 5 stars in no time. read more

This place might not look like much from the outside, but the food here is amazing. I ordered the scallop sandwich and ate every last bite. Be ready with napkins - it gets pretty messy. Most of my onions and all the scallops fell out, so I ended up eating most of my sandwich with a fork instead of in sandwich form. They only have outdoor seating at few benches, so make sure to check the weather or get ready to order takeout. I would definitely go back again. read more

No trip to Golden Gardens is complete without requiring a swim to wash the remnants of a Caribbean Roast off. As an added bonus, service seems much faster now! Grab your sammys and hit the beach, it's gonna be good. read more

Visited from KC and this was recommended and it didn't disappoint. We had the #2 Press and it was delicious. If you're not starving you can share a sandwich as the are really big. read more

OMG this place is the BEST!!! We got the Caribbean roast sandwich and the carne bowl with chicken. The chicken was moist and had a great flavor, but was totally eclipsed by the Caribbean sandwich. Get one, you'll thank me. read more

These people can cook! This was the best place I've eaten at recently. The Caribbean roast sandwich was perfect! and the sautéed prawns were awesome - that garlic tapenade was really special. read more

This is THE best spot around!!! The food is amazing the staff is friendly and professional. I've tried multiple dishes and sandwiches on the menu and it never disappoints... The spicier the better read more

Similar cuisine to Bongos but Un Bon has a smaller menu and overpriced. $7 for black beans with white rice, really! I enjoyed my Cubano sandwich but has a better, less expensive dinner at Bongos two nights after. read more

Saw the Eater video on Un Bien vs Paseo. Got hyped up as a result. Came here and ordered a Carribean roast sandwich to split between a friend (we were going to go to Paseo right after for comparison). The first few bites were simply magical. It was literal silence as me and my friend demolished our halves in less than a minute. There's no clean way to eat this as the meat juices will just ooze out of the sandwich all over your hands. The best sandwich in Seattle by far. read more

Fantastic flavors and food here! Had the Pork Roast and Scallops Entrees. Highly recommend both!

Simple place that does what they do to perfection. There are no white linen tablecloths or wine list, only paper wrappings and plates with community benches. Don't try to improve or criticize their fare by smartly customizing your order, they have good selection of entrees that are all carefully made exactly how they should be. Everything here feels like it was carefully selected in favor quality and preparation, each a different great adventure. They have some super-savory sandwiches that require many napkins and a spare shirt. If you are not needing this, order a simpler plate has the same impeccable flavor crafting without need for a shower and a nap afterwards. Extremely consistent food preparation, I can't ever recall anyone ever saying they had an order that was "off' or not as good as the one such-and-such had before. Without a doubt this establishment is a master of their food craft. A rewarding food exploration. One that is also a bargain, I might add, read more

Loooved this place! Super friendly greeting by what I'm guessing was the owner. We arrived shortly before they closed...thankfully we made it as we were on bike & rode a long ways! They were out of some things that we were interested in but he made some nice suggestions for alternatives. I ordered the Un Bien Greens with shrimp I believe. It was super flavorful & fresh. I ate every bite. There were 5 of us & we were all very pleased with our meals. If only I could eat there today...we all live in AZ. read more

We were in town for just a few hours and wanted a great sandwich/Cubano. We got two orders of the press - done in 10 min or less - it is one of the bead sandwiches I've had in my life. Ham and bread are particularly excellent. Love it and will be back next time we're in Seattle. read more

Amazing sandwich had while on vacation in Seattle. This was worth the drive! Make this cute dive a MUST HAVE!!! Everyone was so nice and the small sitting area was very clean. read more

ohmygodddd we got Un Bien on a Saturday and on Monday, we were still talking about it. This place knows how to do sandwiches. The Caribbean Roast, which they're known for, lives up to the hype. So tender and flavorful. Bread is perfect texture. My husband got a smoky chicken thigh and was moaning with each bite. I have no other words, I wish I was at Un Bien right now eating a sandwich. Go, go, go! read more

I enjoy sandwiches. I would argue it's my favorite type of food. I can say without a doubt this was a top 3 sandwich for me. Do not hesitate to try this place it's absolutely breathtaking and will be on TV soon no doubt. Enjoy!! read more

Ordered some food to go expecting Caribbean food. Our families are from the Caribbean so we were hoping it would be good. Unfortunately as usual here in Seattle we were disappointed. It tasted more of a Mexican flavored tone than the Caribbean that we know. The pork shoulder was dry and weirdly sweet. The chicken thighs were extremely dry. The beans tasted of too much cumin and another weird spice. The salad had way too much dressing on it and ended up being too sour and vinegary. read more

Get the onions! Ordered the press and it was one of the best sandwiches I've eaten in years. Carne con rice (Roast pork) was amazing as well, and the grilled onions were a fantastic addition to an already top tier meal. read more

They have new staff. They are not friendly like the ones from years ago. If you pay with a cc they expect a tip. I am not sure for what. The sandwiches are delicious but now they are smaller. I advise you to take cash as a tip is unnecessary in this shack where you have to stand and pick up your own food. Blah. read more

I'm not sure what the hype is about. I didn't expect much, but somehow I was still disappointed. I've had sandwiches from here on two occasions, and each time was disappointing. (I tried a pork sandwich the first time and a chicken sandwich the second time.) The sandwiches are really wet/oily and very hard to eat. The flavors are quite bland and one-sided. The char on the onion is nice. The sauce is pretty flavorless. The meat has basically no flavor. For example, when I ordered the chicken sandwich, they cooked the chicken on the grill right after I ordered. How do you expect to develop flavor if you cook the meat when I order? You need to slow cook meat if you want it to build strong flavors. The prices are also a bit steep. At least the staff was friendly! If you want tasty Cuban sandwiches, save yourself the trouble and go to Bongos. You will not be disappointed. Bongos sandwiches have better bread, more complementary and robust flavors, tastier meat, less sogginess, and much more reasonable prices. read more

Such a great sandwich. It was really messy but worth getting your hands dirty for the awesome taste. I ordered the number 2 and was really happy with the choice. read more

Yum! Great stop to pick up a meal to enjoy at Golden Gardens - will definitely be back.

This is my first time eating here. My sister recommended this place to me and said that she usually orders the smokin thighs. But I wanted to try the palomilla steak and I loved it! Will definitely order from here again the next time I come to the Seattle area. read more

We absolutely love their pork sandwich (#1 on the menu). We have visited the location on 15th and the wait is always so, so long. We were on the verge of being hangry, so we decided to venture to this location and we are so glad we did - there was no wait and the staff there was oh so friendly! It's nice to know there is a place in the neighborhood that we can always turn to that will have delicious food and friendly service. Thank you! read more

Love the food, so definitely eat there again. I went to the location on Seaview, after I went kayaking. Had never eaten there before, glad I tried it. read more

This was a top-100 restaurant on Yelp's national list before they had a change in management. The Carribean roast is my favorite sandwich in the Seattle area. Super convenient off the Burke Gilman trail. Staff is friendly, value is great. Decent outdoor seating (part of it is covered) or great option to go. Would highly recommend! read more

Both my boyfriend and I got food poisoning after eating here on Friday, 4/21. He had the pressed Cubano-like sandwich and I had the roasted pork entree platter. Neither of us have left the bathroom for the past 3 days. This was the only food we ate that was the same on Friday, so it had to have been from here. I tried calling the restaurant several times to tell them, but no one ever answers. read more

Un Bien used to be located in what is now Paseo's in Fremont. Back then they were the original Paseo's before changing the location and name of their business. Another Cuban Sandwich shop took over the unit, adopted the name Paseo's, and have competed with Un Bien for the north Seattle Caribbean food market since. This Un Bien location is a beautiful little Caribbean take out restaurant with two take out windows. One window faces the street while the other faces in towards a small enclosed dining area built as an addition to the main building. There are about four benches inside and two small benches out front. Max occupancy is about 17 ish..... The dining area is slightly exposed and not insulated, so dining in is a chilly experience in any Seattle season but summer. They are pet friendly, including the enclosed area- which is nice for people who are walking their dogs on the beach to stop by for a bite. Their menu board consists of three columns. They have a list of sandwiches, a list of dinner entrees, and a list of special entrees. Some items on the menu board have a short strip of velcro next to them, indicating when they have sold out for the day. These are obviously the best selling dishes to choose from. I ordered their most popular item, #1 the Caribbean Roast. It's a pulled pork sandwich in a toasted 7 inch ciabatta with lettuce, caramelized onions, and a sweet garlic aioli sauce. Easily one of the top three sandwiches I have ever eaten in my life. Do not eat this sandwich while driving or sitting in your car unless you want it to end up in your lap....Overall I'd give them four stars. Considering their location right along the water, I think it is reasonable they invest in some sort of insulation for the enclosed area....especially since Seattle weather is rainy and chilly 9/12 months. Also, I don't mind spending $13-20 per person for good food, but the portions should be larger. That aside, Un Bien's Carribean food is unmatched. I think they outdo Paseo's Caribbean Roast by far....call ahead though cuz they often close early. read more

Un Bien - menu - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had with a killer atmosphere. None of this new age fake "rustic" crap. It had a genuinely rugged urban feel that from an East coaster's perspective was really refreshing. Me and a couple buddies got a couple different sandwiches, but the #1 is the only way to go. I'm from the south, and in my opinion the slow roasted pork would be the envy of just about any pit Master. I hate giving out five stars, but this place has earned it. read more

Amazing sandwiches. The Caribbean Roast is my favorite. Make sure to grab a $1 Rainer tall boy at the Seaview location!

This place was amazing. Just happened to pop in; mostly cause of the reviews. Was pretty surprised with the quality and the way the food was prepared. Ordered the West Caribbean bowl with side of grilled onions and the onions were cut in large rings and grilled to perfection. The chicken was juicy, skin was crispy and everything was so flavorful. I couldn't get enough it was that good. Then I took a bite of my hubby's chicken breast sandwich and I wished I had ordered that! So many flavors and prepared perfectly. Very messy food so be ready to get dirty and enjoy it! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I asked twice for them to put the side of onions in my Caribbean bowl and they wouldn't. Instead they came on the side. Not sure why?? read more

This place is awesome. I go with the meat and rice plate. It is HUGE and CHEAP. Great to grab on the way to the sailboat.

Gotta love it! Great to have the old Paseo gang back on Shilshole! Everything is as you remember it.

I pride myself on knowing what and where the best sandwiches are in Washington. Let me just say, since trying Un Bien three years ago, I've never needed another sandwich place. The family atmosphere, the effort into getting the perfect Caribbean style flavors into their sandwiches is amazing. I've never had a bad meal or experience here. Their corn, seafood, onions, and above all their pork, are seriously top around. Nothing compares to this place, do yourself a major favor and go! read more

These sandwiches are fire!!! Must have if you don't mind the carbs. Juicy, full of flavor and lots of love! No matter what your taste buds like they won't be disappointed with whatever you choose!!! That's a fact read more

One word: yum!! I got the #1 on the menu, the Caribbean roast and it was incredible. The meat was so well marinated and the combo of that with the grilled veggies mixed with the sauce-- so freakin bomb. I tried this place after having Paseo first and this place totally takes the cake! Sandwiches are a pretty decent size. It lasted me two meals. But I might have eaten the whole thing in one sitting if I was starving. Like everyone else has said, parking can be tricky so knowing that I made an effort to just look in the residential area behind the restaurant. Overall fun place especially during the summer time! read more

Ok so there are a lot of "Caribbean / Latino" spots around town. I like Caribbean food as much as the next guy and perhaps even a little more. Un Bien was really good. The food was on point and properly seasoned and the staff especially Lucas are all awesome. Me and my people will be back. read more

For whatever reason the sandwich wasn't quite as good as its sister location. The bread was different for sure. Still an amazing sandwich though but had to knock it down a star. read more

Most amazing sandwiches I have ever had. The pork is so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was like a party in my mouth. I shall return!!! :D read more

Delicious rice and beans trio with really tender pulled pork. Definitely dropping by next time I'm in the area
