Nijo’s was initially tough to find, as it’s tucked away below 1st Ave next to an alley. At busy times, that would make parking pretty tough, but for a weeknight dinner there was plenty of parking within a 1-block radius. The interior is small, dark and intimate. There&#...

Ok I admit it, my knowledge of Chinese restaurants in the International District isn’t as good as it should be. Good Japanese or Vietnamese restaurants in the I-District are easy to find, but for some reason I’d always felt that the Chinese restaurants on the Eastside were better ...

We dropped in for a late lunch on a weekend, and I was impressed by the sparse and clean dining room on the main floor. Djan’s is housed in an old house, with all the associated charm and quirks. Service was quick and responsive. I was less impressed with the food than I was ...

I’ve walked past the signs outside advertising their ”$1 happy hour” many times, so I had to drop in and see for myself. My verdict is that it pays to be picky at Maharaja. The restaurant is divided into two sections: a standard-looking Indian restaurant in front, ...

I’m done with this place and its horrible service. The fact that Purple Dot’s open really late makes them popular among the post-clubbing crowd and a destination for a quick bite of mediocre Hong Kong-style diner food. But the management should realize t...

I was glad to finally check out this new noodle spot on Capitol Hill that was opened by the creators of Blue C Sushi. Similar to Blue C, the interior of Boom Noodle is attractively modern with a very high ceiling. The use of large dark wood tables helped add a warm feeling to the space. ...

I’d been wanting to try The Hi-Life for some time now, and I’m happy to say that it’s a place I’d readily return to whenever I’m in or around Ballard. The location is ideal for stopping in for a bit when walking around the core of the neighborhood, and t...

Craving sushi in Belltown, I dropped into Shiro’s for dinner one Sunday night, and was reminded of why I both liked the place and also why I hadn’t come back in a long time – the food quality is high, the prices are high, but the service is unfortunately spotty. Tho...

I was really happy to have stumbled across this izakaya on a late-night jaunt through Belltown this past weekend. The quiet, chill ambiance of Wann on 2nd was the perfect remedy to the raucous scenes at the bars on 1st. The interior of Wann was a nice blend of traditional japanese-...

Back when Blue Fish was called Sake House, my friends and I gushed over how we had discovered another fine choice for Eastside sushi (as there are never enough). Perhaps we were more naive about sushi back then, or perhaps the change of name/management really has affected thi...
