1. Maekawa Bar
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 622-0634
I know what you're thinking: 5-stars? Wha? It's hard to quantify restaurants within a one-scale-fits-all rating, but I think Maekawa deserves 5 stars.
I'm so tired of all the Japanese restaurants with their long sushi lists and their anemic…More »
2. Lunchbox Laboratory - CLOSED
Holy crap. I've died and gone to heaven -- not the pearly-gates-in-the-clouds version of heaven, but the mounds-of-bacon-and-tots version.
Let me just free associate for a bit... tots... mammoth burgers... good buns... yam fries... several flavored…More »

Topanga, CA 90290

As you can see, I've reviewed hundreds of restaurants. I've searched high and low for the best places to eat. And it gives me great pleasure to write that Inn of the Seventh Ray gave me one of the best dining experiences of my life.

Grocery,

Neighborhood: International District
What can I say about Uwaji's? Let me count the ways...
This place is like a 2nd home for me and my family. My family knows and loves the owners and employees and they always say hi. Coming here with my family is like going to Auntie's house:…More »

Wow, a uniquely entertaining evening!
My fellow yelpers have already said all there is to be said, but I just have to free associate about my experience tonight... I like dressing up. Expensive night, but worth it. The dining room has kick ass…More »
6. Wakasaya
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 621-2121
Categories:
Ethnic Food,
Japanese
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
If you eat their bikkuri don (a mammoth bowl of soup) in under 15 minutes you get it free. Otherwise you have to pay $45. Six people have succeeded and many have failed. Among the successful: a small yet angry Korean girl.
If you're not in the mood…More »
7. Tacos El Asadero
I love taco trucks. Most people wouldn't touch this place with a ten-foot pole, which somehow makes this place even more appealing.
It's a bus. It's a restaurant. It's a bus. It's a restaurant. Tortas, ceviche, real tacos, real quesadillas, real…More »
8. Wabi Sabi
Seattle, WA 98118
(206) 721-0212
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese,
Asian Fusion
Neighborhood: Columbia City
So far, I've reviewed about 80 Japanese joints in Seattle and I think I would put Wabi Sabi in the top 15.
I would put this restaurant in the "standard semi-expensive semi-fancy Seattle Japanese restaurant" category, but with a small asterisk: they…More »
9. Hilltop Ale House
Seattle, WA 98109
(206) 285-3877
Categories:
Restaurants,
Pubs
Neighborhood: Queen Anne
Meghan is the best bartender in the world: beautiful, laughs at all my stupid quips, attentive, nurturing, good listener, etc.
Oh, and they have good tunes, good food and good atmosphere. As someone else wrote, it's a typical local Seattle alehouse.
10. The Far Bar
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 617-9990
Category:
Lounges
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
I was told this place used to be where the Chinese would store their livestock so they could have the freshest meat in town -- no joke. It's in an old alleyway. It seems sorta speakeasy-ish -- you enter through a narrow walkway. Good food. Great…More »
11. Kintaro Ramen Noodle
This might be the best ramen this side of the ocean but I think I'm splitting hairs because I like eating ramen at many places in the northwest.
I don't know why but my non-japanese friends love to be hypercritical of ramen. To me, ramen is like…More »

Categories:
Hotels,
Tea Rooms,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighborhood: Beverly Hills
My review is 5 stars because i loved the piano player, Antonio. He plays there nearly every night. He plays beautifully: Chopin, show tunes, etc. He is super charming, funny and extremely empathetic. We had a long conversation about music,…More »
13. Woodland Park Zoo
It just keeps getting better and better. I've been coming here since I was a child and I've never been disappointed.
Let me take a trip down memory lane. I remember the horse ride area. I remember when they added the ape exhibit, the butterfly…More »
14. The Egyptian Theatre
So many memories at The Egyptian. So many movies. So many years. I saw Stop Making Sense here when I was 14 -- people in over-sized suits rushed the stage as if it were a concert. We were all dancing the aisles. So many midnight cult classic:…More »

Categories:
Caribbean,
Sandwiches,
Cuban
Neighborhood: Fremont
I wouldn't say it's the bee's knees, but it's at least the bee's elbows.
I love sandwiches and these sandwiches are darn good. Chewy baguettes, good meats, big grilled onions, lots of mayo. Yum.
Long, long, long lines. Is it worth it? Most of the…More »

Categories:
Japanese,
Hawaiian,
Sushi Bars
Neighborhood: Belltown
Love it!
But I'm a big fan of Hawaiian food, so I'm easy to please.
Fun atmosphere. The service can be a little lacking sometimes -- I think they don't have enough staff. The food is modern Hawaiian, so don't expect traditional food. The sushi is…More »
17. Soarin' Over California
It's simple yet effective. Basically you sit in a chair, like a ski lift, with your feet dangling and in front of you, all you can see, is a huge movie screen. You feel like you're flying over various parts of California. They somehow incorporate…More »

Categories:
Dance Clubs,

Neighborhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
One of my favorite clubs. Swanky. Great service. You can easily get a drink even when it's busy. Big dance floor. A few different areas to hang out in. The music is never too loud to talk. It can get busy so get there early if you want to…More »
19. Antioch University Seattle
Seattle, WA 98121
(206) 441-5352
Category:
Colleges & Universities
Neighborhood: Belltown
As with any university, there's so much to say about Antioch. I'm sure people have had a variety of experiences at Antioch, so it's hard to encompass everything in one review.
The staff, faculty and students put a lot of effort into making this world…More »
20. Honey Bear Bakery Cafe

I'm a sandwich fanatic and their sandwiches are delicious. In fact, I'm going to get one right now.
21. Beth's Cafe

Categories:
American (Traditional),
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhood: Green Lake
There's really no way I can put into words why I love this place at 2 am.
I could say it's the history (my 65-year-old father used to go there when he was young and dare his friend to eat the 12-egg omelet).
I could say it's the food, but let's be…More »

Neighborhood: Downtown
Yummy izakaya. Fun. Classy. Nice neighborhood. I give them 5-stars for atmosphere and menu variety. The food is 3 or 4 stars but if you want an unique experience with lots of fun stuff to try, this place is for you. It's perfect for a big group…More »

Seattle, WA 98102

Categories:
Asian Fusion,
American (New)
Neighborhood: Capitol Hill
A hidden gem. The food is fantastic. I've had a lot of lumpia and humbow in my life, and Huiyona has some of the best I've had. You can tell they took a lot of time developing their recipes: unique, tasty, yummy, etc. Inside, the atmosphere is…More »

Categories:
Toy Stores,
Hobby Shops
Neighborhood: Lake City
When I was a young, pimply nerd in 80s, I'd come all the way from Sammamish to peruse this store's shelves of geeky goodness. And now, 25 years later, American Eagles hasn't changed -- it literally hasn't changed -- the same items are on the…More »

Chinese
Neighborhood: Golden Village
We walk in and they take forever to get us a table even though it's only half-full. -1
We sit down. They give us no menus. -2
The menus have funny engrish. +1
The waitresses seemed to be ignoring us on purpose. We had to flag them down. -2

28. Baguette Box
In my humble opinion, some of the best sandwiches in Seattle. Interesting ingredients. Fresh baguettes -- chewy yet light.
And the fries are to die for!
The service can be slow when there's a crowd. But you get what you wait for.
29. Full Moon Tonight
Seattle, WA 98103
I was driving up 5th ave downtown and in between the skyscrapers and behind some wispy clouds was the bright full moon. It looked like a Batman movie set. I half-way expected to see Christian Bale swoop down from the Columbia Tower and punch a…More »
30. IMAX At Pacific Science Center
As far as I'm concerned, these sorts of theaters are the only real Imax theaters. The new "Imax" theaters that are cropping up everywhere are indistinguishable from regular theaters -- to me. Yet, these crappy Imax theaters charge more. Why?
There…More »

Categories:
Day Spas,

I was impressed with all the aspects of this spa. Compared to other spas in Seattle, this place has lots of bells and whistles.
My massage was pretty amazing too. They have various implements at the ready: scented oils that you choose, scented water…More »
32. Elephants Delicatessen
Portland, OR 97210
(503) 299-6304
This is a top notch deli. It's an experience to browse all their items. I wanted to eat up the entire place. Good stuff. If I lived nearby, I'd go every day.
33. Rainbow Bar & Grill
Los Angeles, CA 90069
(310) 278-4232
Categories:
Bars,
Music Venues
Neighborhood: West Hollywood
It's a dirty rocker bar/restaurant, and I love it.
It's in the middle of all the main rock venues: Roxy, Wiskey, etc. And it has a long, rich history of its own. E.g., Marilyn and Joe had their blind date here.
Avery, our waitress, was super nice.…More »

Neighborhood: Pioneer Square
Quintessential, high-calorie, party-in-your-mouth sandwich joint. Good bread. Good meats. And you get to choose between 5 different ways to make your breath stink: onions, peppers, etc.
And the service was good. They get you in and out quickly. There…More »

I'm not a huge fan of this sort of restaurant, but I was really impressed. I've been here a few times and the food is always way beyond my expectations. Delicious. Great service. Their menu is short so you don't get overwhelmed with options and you…More »

Totally worth the hype.
