This is one of the more fun blog posts to create as 2019 winds down. It allows us to review all the great dishes we’ve had throughout the year and debate which ones belong in our top 15. A list ranges from a relatively simple shaved ice to a traditionally poor man’s Hawaiian breakfast to a couple of Southern-inspired biscuit dishes to a few noodle dishes(both Italian and Asian) to Asian fusion and a few Mexican dishes.
We’ve already counted down our Best Seattle Dishes of 2019, 15 through 8.
Without further ado, here are our Best Seattle Dishes of 2019, 7 through 1:
7. Seattle Biscuit Co. —$14. The End – Cheese grits, collards, pulled pork, pickled red onion, comeback sauce, fried bologna, over-easy egg, biscuits
Excerpt from our blog post:
The Ed N‘ Diane(END) is named after the owner’s parents. I don’t usually order grits, but this was a winner and is definitely a contender for Seattle Best Dishes of 2019. The pulled pork, fried bologna and collards were perfect complements to the grits. The grits were not overly cheesy and the slight kick of the pork, the saltiness of the bologna and tart of the collards were a great spoonful of flavor. Our daughter devoured the thick fried bologna chunks and mini biscuit. We’re used to the sliced thin baloney, so when she saw the thick chunks, she seemed a bit surprised. Add the over easy egg with runny yolk and you’ve got a near perfect dish.
6. D’La Santa – $31.99. Tacoarte -Platter filled with a variety of delicious taco fillings: carne asada, pollo asado, cochinita pibil, pastor & refried pinto beans. Tortillas served on the side. (serves 2 people)
Tacoarte $31.99 Platter filled with a variety of delicious taco fillings: carne asada, pollo asado, cochinita pibil, pastor & refried pinto beans. Tortillas served on the side. (serves 2 people)
Tacoarte topping-cilantro, onions, pico de gallo, radishes, pickled red onion, salsa.
Excerpt from our blog post:
Another thing that makes this a perfect date spot is the dish that literally every table we saw ordered. That dish was the Tacoarte, which comes as two platters. One filled with a variety of taco fillings: carne asada, pollo asado, cochinita pibil, pastor, pork chorizo & refried pinto beans. For those keeping track at home that’s one steak, one chicken and three pork. The price of this dish is $31.99, but it serves two people, which we feel is totally reasonable. You can definitely fill up 3 people with this dish. Along with the meat fillings, came another platter of toppings, which included onions, cilantro, salsa, pico de gallo, radishes and pickled red onions. The refried beans are really creamy, not lumpy like what you see in most restaurants. This is the perfect date dish because you’re interacting, sharing, you can discuss your favorite fillings, topping and combinations. We quickly ran out of tortillas since the fillings and toppings will easily make 15 tacos minimum. We were asked if we needed extra tortillas, which we did. Every single table had ordered this dish and if when we go back, we’d definitely order it again.
The filling rankings:
1) Carne Asada (my favorite)
2) Al Pastor (wife’s favorite)
3) Pork Chorizo
4) Conchinita Pibil
5) Pollo Asado
5. Fremont Bowl — $14.95. Chirashi Bowl-tuna, chopped fatty tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, shrimp, fresh water eel, masago with fresh wasabi + yuzu kosho (pepper)
Excerpt from our blog post:
The cashier advised the Chirashi Bowl is their most popular and it’s easy to understand when seeing the dish. The different cuts of fish make for a colorful presentation that makes it one of the most photogenic dishes in Seattle. What separates chirashi from poke is that poke marinated in sauce with a bunch of different toppings. This can mask the quality of fish as well as the quantity of fish. Chirashi is just pure raw fish, so the fish quality and quantity is apparent.
The Chirashi Bowl is not only a beautiful dish, but the quality of the fish is superb and the price is a bargain.
4. Tamari Bar – Shoka-do Bento Box
Excerpt from our blog post:
Next up was the Shoka-do Bento Box, which is limited to a certain count every evening. This was surely the highlight of the night. There are a total of nine squares with each being the perfect size for two bites, making it the perfect date night dish. You get nine different dishes, nine different flavors. It’s fun having so many choices at once and then discussing which are your favorites. Or both of you can try each grid at the same time and discuss after each tasting.
From the top and left to right with scores out of 5:
- Fried Crispy Salmon(4.25), Wagyu Beef Tataki(4.5) , Potato Salad (4.0)
- Aburi Scallop Carpaccio(4.5), Tamari Bar Sushi Roll(4.5), Aburi Salmon(4.5)
- Fried Oyster(5.0), Zuke Maguro(marinated)-(3.0), Tuna Tatsuta(fried)-(5.0)
Each appetizer was beautifully presented and each had at least 5 different ingredients and it was a good mixture of fried and raw. We just really enjoyed this concept.
3. Joule– $13. Bone marrow, spicy anchovy butter, leek
Excerpt from our blog post:
This was a home run! I don’t know if there is always this much marrow on their bones or if I just hit the jackpot, but usually there’s not much marrow whenever I order . This dish had so much marrow, I couldn’t believe it. Served with bread the marrow was perfect turning into a rich pudding that tasted like beef flavored butter. Add in the generous topping of leeks and you’ve got FIRE!
2. Watson’s Counter — $18. Loco Moco – Fresh ground house-blend of chuck, short-rib, and pork belly atop a bed of rice, house-made gravy, and a fried egg on top.
Excerpt from our blog post:
My wife got the Loco Moco. I know it’s early in the year, but this dish is a contender to be on our Top Dishes of 2019. We’ve had our fair share of Loco Mocos in Hawaii and around town at Kona Kitchen, Maono, Cheeky Café. This is the best we’ve had. The patty is made with a blend of chuck, short-rib, and pork belly and you have the rice and egg, but the showstopper is the house-made gravy. It’s a thick peppery flavorful smack in the mouth. Mixed with the egg yolk, generous sized patty and topped with sesame seeds and green onions = Broke Da Mouth!
1. Revel– $17. Rice w/Egg yolk -Albacore tuna, fennel kimchi, escarole
A
Excerpt from our blog post:
Not sure how we missed this one for our favorite dishes of 2018. We ALWAYS order this. The char on the escarole, the large toppings of kim chee, the sear on the albacore and off course one of my favorite foods, a raw egg yolk.
We were watching them prepare this dish and I see that the raw egg yolk is marinated in what appears to be soy sauce. This gives some additional flavor to the yolk, so when you mix it altogether it creates it’s own sauce. The combination of the 5 ingredients make for a perfect bite.
Perhaps, because we order this dish all the time we took it for granted last year, but we need to give this dish it’s due.
This was our Favorite Seattle Dish of 2019.
After reviewing the various dishes we had in 2019 and finally landing on a top 15, we really feel grateful that Seattle has such a wide variety of great restaurants in such a condensed area that. The exciting thing is that there are so many more restaurants that we have on our list to visit. Here’s to a great 2019 and an even better 2020!

This is one of the more fun blog posts to create as 2019 winds down. It provides us an opportunity to review all the great dishes we’ve had throughout the year and debate which ones belong in our top 15.
The list ranges from a relatively simple shaved ice to a traditionally poor man’s Hawaiian breakfast to a couple of Southern-inspired biscuit dishes to a few noodle dishes(both Italian and Asian) to Asian fusion and a few Mexican dishes.
Without further ado, here are our Best Seattle Dishes of 2019, 15 through 8:
- Xi’an Noodles – $9.95. Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles
As mentioned in our Xi’an Noodles post, this is our main take out spot and this happens to be the first item on their menu. They specialize in biang biang house-made noodles and while they are all good, the Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles is our constant repeat order. The noodles are wide, thick and hand ripped that allows sauce to stick to the noodles. In addition to the chewy noodles you have pepper and cumin to spice and onions and cilantro as garnish. The dish is not overpoweringly spicy, but is flavorful. It’s also a reasonable $9.95.
- Dough Zone Dumpling House – Beef Stew Noodle $5.95
This is our daughter’s contribution to the list. Our two year old eats a least half of this dish whenever we go to Dough Zone Dumpling House. At $5.95 the portion is on the smaller size, so you might want to order two. The dish comes with tender fatty portions of beefs, thin noodles topped with green onions and cilantro. As she turns 3, I’m sure she’ll eat the entire portion.
- Sazon Kitchen – Grain Casserole $18.00. Mix of grains in criolla sauce, braised tri-tip and eggs. Toppings include chicharron, cilantro and pickled red onions + greens and bread.
Excerpt from our blog post:
The best of the bunch is another dish you won’t find anywhere else. It’s the Grain Casserole. I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but this is the dish I’d order again on return visits. It was braised trip tip and some peppers and onions over a bed of various grains- I think lentils, beans, long rice and regular rice? I’m not sure, truthfully, but with the sauce and generous topping of protein and veggies, it was so delicious. The one minor thing, I’d prefer is tortillas instead of bread accompanying this dish. Perhaps the abundance of grains wouldn’t be a good match with tortillas? At $18, I was a bit hesitant since it’s bit on the high side, but after tasting it, I’d get it again.
- Snowy Village– Mango or Strawberry Bingsoo $11.95.
How can a simple shaved ice make our Top 15 list? The fruit bingsoos, specifically the mango and strawberry at Snowy Village are that damn good. There’s a reason there’s a long wait every time we visit? The fruit is fresh and the real distinction is that their ice is 100% milk, not water like most shaved ice. So you don’t have to worry about the bingsoo getting “watered down” as it melts. This is the perfect dessert for summers. Our family salivates the moment we decide to take a trip to Snowy Village.
- Seattle Fish Guys– $15.99. Garlic Cajun Shrimp Plate – Sweet Kauai Shrimp, cajun spices, garlic, butter, rice w/mac salad
Honestly you can pick any of the poke bowls at Seattle Fish Guys for the our Top 15 Dishes. We know poke is what they are known for, but we’ve chosen the Garlic Cajun Shrimp Plate. This place is actually a seafood market, but have a little seating section for meals. When we ordered the plate, we also got macaroni salad and rice with furikake. Lastly is the star of the show, mounds of sweet Kauai shrimp seasoned and cooked just right with cajun spices, butter and garlic. Warning: bring some breath mints.
The Wandering Goose–(RIP 2020) $13.00. The Sawmill- fried chicken, sawmill gravy, cheese add poached eggs in between house made biscuits.
before cutting. 
<<After cutting into it
Excerpt from our post:
The Sawmill Biscuit Sandwich-fried chicken, sawmill gravy, cheese, poached eggs. Like the Fried Chicken Plate, The Sawmill may give another Seattle Food War a new combatant. Wandering Goose may give Morsel and Bean & Biscuit a run for their money for Best Seattle Biscuit Sandwich. Take a gander at the pictures of The Sawmill below! Your mouth is salivating, ain’t it? I opted for the addition of a poached egg for extra. How could I not have some runny yoke with this bad boy?
Chicken is crispy on the outside and moist on inside. The gravy is the star of this dish. So savory. The biscuit adds a good counterbalance. As you can guess, this is a heavy meal. Get ready for a nap.
- Joule – $29.00. Peppered wagyu steak, ramp, maitake mushroom larb, 6oz
Excerpt from our post:
This was another home run albeit a rather expensive one($29). It’s one of those dishes where you may cringe at the price, but once the first bite is in your mouth, you understand why and say to yourself, “i would’ve paid double”. Tender, just the right amount of char and spice and coupled with the mushroom larb( w/ fish sauce?) was perfect.
8 (Tie) Tavolata – $11.00(happy hour). Pappardelle – beef and pork ragu, mint, chili,grana padano. & Il Corvo -$9.95. Pappardelle ala Bolongnese
<<Tavolata
<<<Il Corvo
Excerpt from our blog post:
Tavlolata-The papardelle was my favorite. It had a pork/beef ragu sauce with a hint of mint. I probably ate 2/3 of it. Sorry to the other folks at the table for hogging it!
Il Corvo- The Pappardelle ala Bolongnese was my favorite and gets a five out of five rating from me. Served with flat broad pappardelle, the meat in the Bolognese sauce is blended into a gooey paste. Bon Appetit actually published the recipe for this gravy back in 2015, but I’d much rather have it prepared and cooked by a pasta Jedi.
Stay tuned for our top 7 Favorite Seattle Dishes of 2019.

Our Top 15 Best Seattle Dishes of 2018 (Part 2)
We’re blessed to have so many great restaurants in Seattle. We’ve been able to discover a lot of new restaurants, but revisit a lot of our favorites. In reviewing our favorite dishes of the year, we originally had a top 10, but had such a difficult time deciding that we expanded it to a top 15. Truthfully, we could have expanded it to 25, but what would be so special about that many dishes? So 15 seems like a good compromise. We tried to pick a variety of dishes in price range from simple sandwiches and tacos to filet mignon and base it purely on taste.
You can take a look at Our Top 15 Best Seattle Dishes of 2018 (Part 1) post for our top dishes of 2018 from #15 through #8.
Without further ado here are the top 7 Seattle dishes of 2018….
7. Revel – Short Rib Dumplings with pickled shallots, scallions.
Revel is probably our favorite restaurant in Seattle. They’ve temporarily moved to South Lake Union from their original space in Fremont, but will move back once their new digs are complete. As mentioned in our previous article, there are a couple of restaurants that could have multiple dishes on our top 15 list. Revel is one of them, but the dish we chose is the Short Rib Dumplings with pickled shallots and scallions. First off the dumplings are massive and the savory of the dumplings is complemented by the pickled sourness of the shallots to make a great combination. We love this with a side order of rice.
6. Chiang’s Gourmet – Fish Fillet w/ Spicy Hot Sauce on Soybean Cake
Chiang’s Gourmet is one of the most underrated restaurants in Seattle for various reasons. It’s a difficult location to get to since it’s right off an I5 offramp in NE Seattle. It’s a very unassuming building that used to be an A&W Root Beer Drive-In restaurant. Also, if you’re not careful you might order things off the “American” menu(one of four of their menus), which is a rookie mistake that you don’t want to make. Chiang’s Gourmet is probably best known for their house made noodles, but our favorite dish is the Fish Fillet with Spicy Sauce and Tofu. It may not look so appetizing from the photo below, but it’s damn tasty. It has generous portions of fish, but the main reason you get this dish is the sauce. It’s not overly spicy and ohh sooo.. flavorful. A hack we learned is to take the sauce home even if we eat all the fish. We then pour the sauce over rice at home and create a brand new dish. Two yummy dishes for the price of one!
5. La Conasupo – Carne Asada and Carnitas Tacos
I’m hesitant to even mention La Conasupo because I don’t want any more people to know about and get any more crowded than it already is. It’s located in the back of a small Mexican grocery store in Greenwood. Take a look at these bad boys in the pictures. Each dish pictured below is just two tacos! If you take this home and have some extra tortillas you can easily turn this into 4 or 5 tacos. These are definitely the best tacos when looking at bang for your buck due to the portion size, but these are also the best tasting tacos in Seattle. I defy anybody to name me a better taco in Seattle.
4. Kisaku – Salmon filled with Ikura with a quail egg on top.
The whole Omakase at Kisaku deserves to be on this list but this concoction of Salmon filled with Ikura with a Quail Egg is da bomb! We’re already huge fans of egg yoke. Add the saltiness of the Ikura and fatty cuts of salmon and we just had to have seconds of this dish. Whenever we go here, we always ask for this. It’s not on their menu, so we just have to describe it when ordering it. We believe Kisaku is the best sushi restaurant in Seattle. Yes, better than Shiro’s, Mashiko, Kappo Tamura, Nishino or Chiso.
3. Kokkaku – Ton Katsu, Lan Roc Pork Tenderloin
Excerpt about this dish from our Kokkaku review- The other entrée we got was the Pork Tenderloin Ton Katsu. Normally, traditional tonkatsu is a slender piece of pork and here they replace it with a thicker pork tenderloin. I always have issues keeping pork tenderloin moist whenever I attempt to make it at home, but this dish is a homerun. So damn tender and moist! They provide a mortar and pestle to ground up sesame seeds and then you can put the ground seeds on the tonkatsu and pour the sauce over it or combine the seeds with the sauce and use it for dipping, which is what we chose to do. We also ordered a bowl of rice to eat with the tonkatsu, but they also provide a huge mound of shredded cabbage with citrus
2. Junkichi Robata Izakaya– Yaki Gaki-grilled shucked oysters , chives w/homemade soy sauce
Excerpt about this dish from our Junkichi Robata Izakaya review-All the dishes were good, but the one dish I would order over and over again would be the Yaki-Gaki, the grilled oysters. The oysters are monster huge and normally my preference for oysters is raw, but the char from the grill along with the oyster juice left over in the shell is sooo good.
1. Cantinetta -Co Winner Dishes: Tomato Farfalle, rabbit sausage, basil and Tagliatelle,guanciale, farm egg, black pepper
This little Italian gem of restaurant in Wallingford could have had seriously 5 or 6 dishes in the top 15 dishes we had in 2018. The Lopez Island Clams with Nduja Sausage, Shallots, Vino Blanco, the Black Pepper Tagliatelle, Carbonara, Prosciutto, and the Flank Steak with Black Trumpet Mushrooms and Port Butter also could have made the top 15 but the best dishes of 2018 are….
Tomato Farfalle, rabbit sausage, basil– The main issue we had with this dish is that it was a small portion and it was gone and eaten in no time. We really don’t order farfalle that often and basil is not one of my favorite herbs, but I was really interested in the rabbit sausage, so we ordered this dish. So glad we did. Put it all together and it was perfect. No one ingredient overpowered the others and together worked so well. The minty-ness of the basil, the tomato farfalle pasta combined with the slightly gamey, but so savory sausages. Perfect.
Tagliatelle, guanciale, farm egg, black pepper– So simple, so good. It was like a spin on a carbonara. Again, with a raw egg yoke it already had an advantage to being named a best dish of the year. Combined with hand made Tagliatelle and quality cured meat from the jowl/cheek of pork and it got us wondering how something so simple could be so damn good. We broke the yoke, mixed it all up, devoured it and ordered it again.
After reviewing the 15 Best Seattle Dishes of 2018, we’re reminded how lucky we are to live in a city with such a variety of quality restaurants with a wide price range. We want to especially thank local friends and the servers at the various restaurants who suggested places we’d never heard of. The top 3 dishes were from restaurants that were suggested to us and we’d probably never have visited these restaurants were it not for these suggestions.

In reviewing our favorite dishes of the year, we originally had a top 10, but had such a difficult time deciding that we expanded it to a top 15. Truthfully, we could have expanded it to 25, but what would be so special about that many dishes? So 15 seems like a good compromise. We tried to pick a variety of dishes in price range from simple sandwiches and tacos to filet mignon and base it purely on taste. Without further ado, here at the top dishes, #15 through #8.
- Mammoth – The Hunter Sandwich -Shaved steak peppers, onions, mushrooms, salami, provolone, aioli.
Their sandwiches stand alone as a reason to visit, but add in 48 taps and you’ve got a match made in heaven. Opened for almost 4 years now, Mammoth has such an interesting variety of sandwiches that it’s difficult to choose one. Some of our favorites: Predator with a fried chicken leg, pork belly, swiss, arugula, roasted red peppers, caper aioli and the Cro-Magnon with ham, mortadella, salami, coppa, provolone, lettuce, tomato, giardiniera, Italian dressing, but our favorite is the Hunter. You can see from the picture it’s a massive sandwich and the oil and juices from all the ingredients moisten the Macrina roll that encases it, but is sturdy enough to not fall apart. Pro tip: Keep the sandwich in the paper wrapping and eat it lie a burrito.
- Toulouse Petit – Cured Pork Cheeks Confit Hash.
This dish was actually featured on Food Network’s show, The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Once we saw that on the menu, we had to order it. Along with the pork cheeks the hash is comprised of arugula, potatoes and asparagus. It’s topped off with two perfectly cooked over easy eggs. We’re suckers for yolk, so when we split open the egg and combined the yolk with the hash….. day..yumm! Pro tip: Toulouse Petit is one of the few places I know of that has a Breakfast Happy Hour from 9am to 11am.
- June Baby – Fried Catfish Sandwich with pickled onion & tartar sauce.
How can a list of top Seattle dishes not include a dish from June Baby? We’ve unfortunately only been for lunches, but man if lunch is any indication of what we can expect for dinner, we’re already drooling. There were a couple of restaurants we went to this year in which a few of the dishes could have appeared on our Top 15 of 2018. June Baby was one of them. Look at how big this piece of catfish is! Cooked perfectly-crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Add the pickled onion and that’s a damn good sandwich. This place really has a chance to get popular someday 😉
- Daniel’s Broiler – Streak Tartare with grilled crostini.
Steak tartare is one of our favorite dishes, so when going out to eat there’s a good chance we’ll order it. No restaurant had a better tartare than Daniel’s Broiler. The presentation of having the tartar on top, a chopped boiled egg in the middle and capers/onions on the bottom was different, but oohh so good. This was also our last meal prior to our daughter being born in October, so maybe there’s also a bit of sentimentality built in.
- Manolin – Grilled Beef with creamed yucca, chimichurri
This year we came to Manolin for an anniversary celebration and a dinner with relatives from outside the country. It seems the times we end up coming to Manolin are for special occasions. This should give you some indication of the quality of their dishes. Whether it’s Shigoku oysters, black rice with squid, chorizon and broccoli or a pink scallop pozole with beans, all taste special. But our favorite was the grilled beef with creamed yucca and chimichurri. If you’re afraid of blood, don’t order this dish. But if seeing blood on your plate, to you, means, “tender juicy yumminess” then this is the dish for you. The generous portions of quality beef mixed with the sweet yucca and then topped with the savory chimichurri provides a mixture of flavors that definitely brings back fond memories. Just reliving this dish makes me want to move it up the list.
- Chan – Kimchi Fried Rice w/Egg
One of the most underrated Happy Hours in Seattle is in the heart of the biggest tourist attraction in Seattle. Chan is hidden away from the main Pike Place Market, but this little secret place is not so secret during happy hour. It’s normally packed. The small size doesn’t help, but people are willing to wait for their caramel glazed chicken wings, spicy pork sliders, ahi tuna poke, but our favorite is the kimchi fried rice. We find that it’s common for kimchi fried rice to be too salty, but Chan’s fried rice is flavorful, but not salty and the egg on top is like the icing on the cake. It’s made in and presented in a skillet, which creates an outer crust of crunchy fried rice. We once went for happy hour and ordered this dish twice instead of ordering anything else on the menu.
- The Metropolitan Grill – Filet Mignon .
Seattleites can argue all they want about who has the best steaks in Seattle. El Gaucho, Miller’s Guild, Jak’s Grill, The Butcher’s Table, Daniel’s Broiler, etc. I’m not even going to mention the national chain steak houses. The Met wins easily for us. It’s not the easiest place to get to since you’ve got to deal with traffic to get to the middle of downtown, but when there are really special occasions that require a steak dinner, this is our first choice. And the Filet Mignon is a no brainer. We haven’t been to their new remodeled digs, but it’s just an iconic Seattle restaurant where the quality has held up for so many years. I have many memories in my younger(and dumber) days of going out for drinks after work, having too much to drink and foolishly going to The Met for steak before going home. In the moment, full of joy stuffing my face with Filet Mignon and then crying the next morning when looking at my bill. On one particular outing, I asked the server why their Filet Mignon tastes so much better than other steak house. He said that all really good steak houses have quality cuts of beef and all know how to cook it, but what differentiates the Met Grill is the special lard they slather on their Filet Mignon. Take it for what it’s worth, all I know is that “it damn good”.
8. Hokkaido Ramen Santouka – Tsukemen.
Excerpt from our Hokkaido Ramen Santouka post- I’m not a huge fan of cold soba or somen. Taking all this into consideration, the Tsukemen at Hokkaido Ramen Santouka has won my taste buds over and is my favorite and I’d say it’s one of my top 10 dishes in Seattle. For those unfamiliar with Tsukemen, it’s noodles that you dip out a soup and then eat. The soup has a very flavorful dense taste, so there’s an art to eating Tsukemen. It takes restraint to only dip 3 or 4 noodles at a time. If you try to stuff a bunch of noodles in the soup, the flavor will be too overpowering. Having the Tsukemen with the Aji-Tama(half cooked egg) takes it to another level. It’s a good dish to have in the summer for me. It’s not piping hot, but it’s not cold. The noodles are at room tempature and the dipping soup is hot.
