Oaxacana Bowl
Dee M.

This is a beautiful restaurant with some of the best staff and owners. We went in on a weekend because we've been meaning to try them out, but they were supposed to be closed for staff training and menu trials. The folks at the restaurant were extremely sweet to entertain us on their day off. They recommended some of their bestsellers to us to try including their Chicken avocado wrap, Oaxacana bowl, Bahn Mi sandwich and their lattes. Everything on the menu was fresh, hot and thoughtfully made. The portions were also great and their service was so quick. We will be back soon to try the rest of the menu. If there's one restaurant in Seattle that you must visit no matter the time of day, it's this one. I assure you their menu has something for every pallette and their meals are super healthy. They are also very accommodating of any requests or dietary restrictions.

Crunchy cabbage tofu bowl (after I'd already poured the dressing on)
Lana S.

Very tasty! Been wanting to try this new spot in Fremont for a while and was not disappointed. They have a huge menu of bowls, sandwiches, smoothies, coffees, and more. I got the cabbage crunch bowl which was very delicious, packed with tofu, cashews, and fresh veggies. I also got a tasty smoothie and my husband enjoyed his avocado toast. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu. Staff was very helpful and friendly as well. If you're in the Fremont area and are looking for a fresh and healthy vegan meal, definitely give this place a try!

Chili cheese dog
Julia Y.

My husband and I went in as an impromptu date night and we are so glad we did! We ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and chili cheese dog with Cajun fries. Both dishes were amazing and really hit the spot. Service was exceptional as well. Thank you for the great experience. We will be back!

Oshi Salmon Fillet, Broccolini, Mashed Potatoes, & Savory Brown Butter Herb Sauce + Sweet Chili Thai sauce!

I've been eating at Vital for about a year & they are hands-down my favorite vegan restaurant!! Their menu has always been competitive and top tier among vegan restaurants, and it just keeps getting better as they are always refining and adding new dishes. The plant-based substitutions are unmatched in flavor & texture--and I tried the Oshi Salmon Fillet for the first time tonight--it is SO delicious, I'm OBSESSED!!!! P.S. I drive all the way from Puyallup to come here, totally worth it!

Smash burger and spicy chicken burger
Elyse M.

The location is tucked away and a bit hard to find if you're not looking. The bathroom is upstairs in a shared area and has a door code fyi. The food here is good. I had the spicy chicken burger and the smash burger. They were both good, I think I liked the spicy chicken better. Whichever one is on the left in the photo had more flavor. They were both very messy so be prepared to wash your hands after! The staff were friendly and helpful and gave recommendations when asked. She also preemptively saw I was lost looking for the bathroom and directed me to the right place. I'd definitely go back and try more food!

Build your own bowl, with quinoa, chorizo, black beans and veggies
Matt B.

All-vegan cafe that just opened 3 weeks ago, with an expansive menu that'll make it difficult to choose from. They specialize in breakfast, bowls, burgers, wraps, and have plenty of coffee drinks of course. I ordered a create-your-own-bowl ($18) that comes with a choice of brown rice or quinoa as a base, mixed greens, choice of protein (I got chorizo sausage), and veggies of your choice. The bowl came out in less than 10 minutes. The portion was generous, with tons of quinoa, chorizo, veggies, and greens (not pictured, but on the side), with a nice side of sauces I asked for. Very satisfying. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the place itself is quite homey and comfortable. Great new vegan addition to the Fremont neighbourhood. Recommended for a breakfast/brunch/lunch spot.

Tofu Banh Mi Sandwich (amazing)
Cassandra L.

Lucky to have this new vegan gem join the neighborhood! My partner and I got takeout from Vital Creations last week and are still gushing about it. I got the Tofu Banh Mi sandwich and he got a wrap and we both loved our food! This was the first tofu banh mi I've had in Seattle that I can truly say was done RIGHT. The bread was extra crunchy, and the jalepenos and carrots were pickled to perfection. The tofu marinade was savory with umami flavors - I've been chasing that dragon ever since and need to go back to have it again! We ordered online and the pickup was seamless. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind upon picking up the food. The vibes in the place were cute and inviting - we can't wait to come back and dine in. Come support this local business! I want to see them thrive; they're something special.

and clean too!
Michael S.

best kept seattle vegan secret! My wife and I pride ourselves on knowing every vegan restaurant in Seattle, and let me tell you, this place is a hidden treasure! You know those days when you crave something tasty but don't want to bloat your arteries with deep-fried goodness? And you're also not in the mood for a salad? This spot hits the perfect middle ground. We've been here three times, each time trying something different, and each dish has been a home run! The food is flavorful, satisfying, and healthy--exactly what we need. One of our visits was on a rainy Seattle day (ha ha), and this place was like a cozy haven, offering comfort without the guilt. Seattle definitely needs to cut back on the greasy spoon vibe (like PDX), and this restaurant is a breath of fresh air in the vegan scene. Plus, it's fun to walk in and be greeted by cheerful staff who seem genuinely excited about what they're serving. Wishing you lots of success because Seattle deserves more spots like this. We'll definitely be back for more, ready to explore the menu further and enjoy every bite!

I haven't eaten many biscuits since moving to Seattle even though I grew up devouring them in the…read moreSouth. It's mostly because I find the large majority of biscuit places on the West Coast to be subpar - either dense and dry inside, or too similar to cake, like the baker substituted cake flour for good old fashioned White Lily. When I saw a bunch of people recommend Seattle Biscuit Company, I decided to give them a try. The first time I visited a biscuit place in the PNW a ton of people recommended, Pine State Biscuits in Portland for reference, I came out extremely disappointed. Hopefully this time would be different. I have to say, pricing is a bit ridiculous here. Just as a comparison point, the special fried chicken biscuit here is $27. The fried chicken biscuit at the place I grew up eating at is currently $5. The plain biscuit is $7 here vs. $1.29 there. Is it worth the price? I started out with a plain biscuit to judge their basic building block: Plain Biscuit ($7) - These are massive biscuits, around half a pound in weight, easily dwarfing the size of 90% of other biscuits. The smell wafting out of the paper wrapper smells heavenly with the aroma butter and flour. The taste reminds me of my childhood growing up in the South. It's distinctively buttery and salty, warm and comforting, almost spot on in taste as compared to say, Bojangles. A lot of places on the West Coast don't add enough salt or butter, making the biscuit taste unpleasantly alkaline. This one has no issues at all in the flavor department. The bake on the biscuit is fantastic, leaving the exterior with a crisp crust all around, while the inside still remains moist and fluffy. It's not particularly layered or flaky, and the interior, while fluffy, has a bit more developed gluten, making it just slightly chewy and slightly denser than perfection. When trying to split by hand, it doesn't split cleanly and instead chunks, especially in the center. Yet it's moist and doesn't crumble apart easily. These biscuits stand on their own and don't need any accompaniment to be enjoyed. Out of all the biscuits I've eaten on the West Coast so far (15+ places), this one tastes the most like a good Southern biscuit. (5/5) I was impressed enough with the biscuit that I revisited the week afterwards to try a sandwich: Gus ($27) - This sandwich seems very expensive until the plate comes out. In between the giant biscuit comes two pieces of fried chicken breast (or perhaps one piece filleted into two). It's breaded and fried generally well - the outside is definitely crisp, although it doesn't adhere that well to the chicken and slides off very readily. The interior of the chicken is nice. I usually expect chicken breast to be dry, but this one is relatively moist, not dried out at all. The breading tastes sweet and salty. I wonder if they brine the chicken in sweet tea. Each side of the biscuit is slathered with a bit of sweet mustard and peppered with pickle slices, giving some acidity to cut through the sausage gravy fat. Between the pickles and the sweet breading, it reminds me of the flavor of a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. The sandwich is served on a bed of orange-colored sausage gravy. It's thick and rich, although perhaps a little on the floury side. There's plenty of sausage mixed in, giving a ton of meaty depth combined with black pepper and spices. In terms of portion size, my wife and I shared this sandwich and we had trouble finishing it. It's definitely enough for two people, which makes the pricing a little more palatable. (5/5) Sweet Tea ($5) - This one is definitely on the sweeter side compared to what I make at home. The tea doesn't have much astringency but it does have a nice generic black tea flavor. There aren't that many places in Seattle to get sweet tea, so I'd say it's passable. I did purchase additional plain biscuits as well and I have to say texture-wise, they are similar, but these new ones tasted distinctively less buttery than before. I think there might be some consistency issues although this second batch is still really good. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the biscuits served at Seattle Biscuit Kitchen. I will definitely be revisiting in the future for more. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms.

I would recommend everyone should try this place at least once. I had the GUS... fried chicken,…read morepickle, sweet onion, mustard, egg and sausage gravy. Its a lot... im a big guy and a big eater and I could only eat half. The biscuit was great, and the gravy tasted a lot like Cracker Barrels sawmill gravy. The service was fine...simple order at the counter and seat yourself. The decor was cute kind of between industrial and farmhouse. Would I come again? Im not sure. Maybe in the winter because the food sits heavy and the cost is a tad pricey BUT...I truly think everyone should try it at least once.

Restaurant Christine was on my list for quite some time, for years actually. But alas, I just…read moreforgot about it. Then someone suggested Restaurant Christine for my birthday. I didn't even remember where it was located but was intrigued when I learned it was in a micro-hood named Tanglewood. Salmon was very good, not dry but succulent; as well as the vegetables. The Hanger Steak was amazing. Almost everything was locally sourced and you can taste it. It all just seemed to work together in a uniquely Pacific Northwest kinda way. It's as though you were eating the outdoors. The owner met with us and gave us a history of the place, followed by his chef's cuisine philosophy. Just a really pleasant conversation. My only personal gripe is that some of the elevated presentations of the cuisine itself did not meld well with some of the rustic dishes; I think their presentation should appear slightly more 'nouvelle cuisine française' and less road-side diner in some dishes. Overall however, R Christine reminds me of the wonderful little hidden locovore spots throughout France that oftentime prove to be borderline Michelin star operations. This place is just like that, lovely.

We are regulars, so the staff know us by name. We come every week for lunch, and have been here for…read moredinner before so can vouch that both options are consistently excellent. If you're looking for a delicious Italian style restaurant in the green lake area, this is the place to go. It can get pretty busy, crowded, and loud, but there are plenty of tables and has a rotating seasonal menu so there's always something new to try.

THE SHORT OF IT: - Absolutely exceptional ambiance, food,…read moreand service. I can't wait to go back! Service was quick, attentive, and everything arrived in a very timely manner given how busy they were on a Saturday evening. The menu truly has something for everyone and the wine list is exceptional. We also had a birthday at the table and still felt special and well-attended despite every table being full. THE INSIDE: - The stained glass windows and hanging lights give such a warm, cozy, yet upscale vibe. - There are many tables and booths. - Handicapped accommodations can be made, but I'd ask in advance, as some areas are tougher to navigate than others. THE FOOD WE TRIED: - Pasta dish: Garlic Fennel Sausage, Oyster Mushrooms, and Snap Peas with Creczenza, White Truffle Oil, and Tagliarini balsamic, red and green basil, parsley, grana padano. Absolutely stunning. I could not finish it, so I'd suggest splitting it with someone else if you can't take it to go. It was so ridiculously flavorful and fresh. I want to eat this 11 more times. - Scallops dish: Sea Scallops Seared in Cast Iron with Oyster Mushrooms and Yellow Corn Risotto asparagus pistou, red basil, white truffle oil, crescenza, fine herbes. Presentation was gorgeous and scallops were melt-in-your-mouth perfect. The corn risotto underneath would honestly be just as good on its own. - Steak dish: Snake River Farms Wagyu Baseball Cut Sirloin 9 oz. The savory compound butter on top was the perfect amount, and the two sauces on the side (chimichurri and a brown one I wish I could name, it's in the pictures) were so good I could have eaten them by a spoon. Steak was cooked to an ideal medium rare with a perfect sear. This was the star of the table, even with everything else being SO GOOD. -Seafood: Big Easy Jambalaya, deep creole flavors, unapologetically spicy wild gulf prawns, chicken, house made andouille, tasso. The person who ordered this said it reminded them of straight New Orleans fare, so I trust their experience! Properly savory and chock full of flavor. SIDE NOTES: - Someone at our table had a seafood allergy and had no issues despite the vast amount of seafood on the menu and around us. - Reservation system is quick and easy. It feels a tiny bit cramped to move around outside of your seated area, but once you're seated, you absolutely won't care given how delicious everything is! - We ate here before attending an opera and had a cozy corner booth reserved months in advance, so that may have improved the experience a bit. :)

We came about 30 mins early for reservation and the host was able to accommodate our early arrival. The restaurant is nice inside and has a unique vibe. When our waitress arrived, I informed her it was my birthday and overall her energy was just dry throughout our service. Not that I was expecting her to give me a cake but a smile would have went a long way. I ordered one of their margaritas and it was meh, overall I just didn't have a good cocktail anywhere we dined in Seattle. I ordered one of their king salmon dishes that was "creole style" but severely lacked seasoning. My boo ordered the steak, which also lacked salt and was served with boxed mash potatoes, which they should be ashamed for at this price point. I also had 4 oysters as an appetizer and they were so small! I was expecting more from the seafood as it seems to be what Seattle is known for. They oysters were fresh, but $22 for four tiny oysters is offensive. This experience may have gotten another star if the service was better but this is place I'd just skip.
