My Favorite Places to Eat, in Seattle and Beyond

Kenji eating out and reviewing Seattle restaurants

Join me in the Kitchen

When I landed in Seattle in 2020, I knew the best way to get to know the city was through its food. Since then, I’ve been on an eating tear—exploring restaurants, trucks, stalls, vendors, and pop-ups of every size and style, old and new, across Seattle and beyond. Here you can find my video and written reviews, along with a constantly growing map of more than 100 favorite spots. I love sharing my discoveries—but I love hearing about new ones even more. Most of my new reviews go up directly on Instagram, with monthly updates to my maps. Feel free to reach out with your own recommendations for Seattle and beyond!

New vid on my @youtube channel featuring a sandwich I learned from my old friend @akuban, the cheeseburger fatty melt from back in the Wild West days at @seriouseats.

Watch it often, eat it rarely. Link in my bio.

Many folks ask me where to get a good wok. There are lots of great independent shops to support, but here’s one in particular that would really benefit from the business.

@kkdiscount has been operating in NY’s Chinatown for over 30 years

In LA for a spell. It is hot here.

Where should I eat?!

I’ve been wanting to go to one of @hamdiseattle’s pop-ups for a while so I was thrilled to be able to check out some of their menu in their soon-to-open brick and mortar restaurant.

It was stunningly good. I don’t know any restaura
