Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 971-7979
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Oy. I came here completely intent on hating this place. I was ready for it. I like writing bad reviews. Bad reviews are funny. Bad reviews are interesting. Bad reviews are unique. There are many, many ways to describe an awful place, but there are…More »
2. Shalimar
Seattle, WA 98105
(206) 633-3854
Shalimar has long been my go-to spot for Indian food on the Ave. I have been going here since it was on the corner that was later occupied by 17 other restaurants before settling as a bakery. It has considerably less botulism than Cedars, it's…More »
3. Mexico Cantina y Cocina
Now that I Yelp more often I think it's time I actually update my previous reviews with more details to make them longer and/or more SEO friendly. Mexico Cantina is a great place for Mexican food in Seattle, Mexican food Seattle, Seattle Mexican…More »

It's hard to review this place because even though I have been there over 30 times, I always order… Read more »
4. Pogacha Restaurant
Right before I came here I told the person I was with that people give harsher reviews to Bellevue restaurants near Bell Square because they expect things to be super fancy. Showed up to this place because 3.5 stars seemed like a lot for Bellevue.

5. Alive Juice Bar
Shoreline, WA 98155
(206) 310-1955
Categories:
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Live/Raw Food
Sometimes I'm sitting there, enjoying a meal and I think to myself "man, they should really take the entire contents of this meal, put it in a blender, and turn it into a smoothie." Can't wait to try a 5 Star Phad Thai with Tofu Milkshake or a…More »
6. Moe Bar
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 709-9951
Categories:
Bars,
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Hipshaken, not Hipstered.
This is an underrated bar in Capitol Hill. Unlike most of the hot spots in the area, Moe Bar seems to appeal to a wider clientele. Let's do this with dashes this time:
- Hipster bars don't generally appeal to me because…More »
7. Waba - CLOSED
Before we begin, I should note that I had a 5 star experience at Waba. It only gets knocked down a peg for reasons that will be explained, using words, momentarily. Lets subtitle this shiznet.
Setting
To get to Waba you need to go up these invisible…More »
8. Starbucks
Seattle, WA 98105
(206) 547-3280
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: University District
I checked in here to practice using my Yelp iPhone App more. I get back home, sign in, and Yelp wants me to review it, as though somehow reviewing Starbucks is necessary. Still, to get it out of my alerts area, I'm going to review it:

9. Arosa Café
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 329-5881
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches,
Belgian
Neighbourhood: First Hill
My friend and I were having a "Crepe day" which sounds way more feminine than I'd like it to but in my defense I have never had crepes before so the idea was that I'd eat it at a bunch of different places all at once and see if it blew my mind. In…More »
10. Safeco Field
What a weird thing to review. Safeco Field has a monopoly on Seattle baseball, so it's not as though someone is going to say:
"Well, I was GOING to go to the baseball game, but then I saw that a Yelp reviewer named 'Chone F.' gave it only 1 star, so…More »
11. Rosebud Restaurant & Bar - CLOSED

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
It's not just a sled.
This place was spectacular. I'll review it with subheadings below, because subheadings make writing more readable and they make me look smart.
Service
A pair of slightly older gentleman with similar casual style and the same…More »
12. Knee High Stocking Co.

Categories:
American (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Sweet. I am review number 200.
That's worth pointing out because this place is practically invisible. There are no signs, no windows - nothing that would make you think for two seconds that there is anything inside of this building.
I've seen hidden…More »
13. Mad Hat Tea Company
This place deserves seventeen stars. This may be the best random experience I've had in years. Everything about Mad Hat, including the teas and Tobin's random ramblings, was excellent. Some notes from the experience:
- There is almost every type of…More »
14. Empire Espresso
Seattle, WA 98118
(206) 659-0588
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Columbia City
Empire Espresso is in an area on Rainier known as "Columbia City" which is apparently the only section of Rainier that white people aren't scared to visit.
Empire Espresso has a Knee High vibe, except without the Groupon that has ruined Knee High…More »
15. Mailbox Peak
Mailbox Peak is not for everyone. You should avoid it at all costs unless you enjoy any of the following:
- Sitting naked on a bed of rusty nails.
- Swallowing used razor blades for seven hours.
- Injecting yourself with botulism toxin.
- Placing a high…More »
16. Ambassel Ethiopian Restaurant
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 860-7074
Category:
Ethiopian
Neighbourhood: Central District
This is the best Ethiopian food I have ever tasted in my entire life.

That's it. I have nothing else interesting to say about this place. Absolutely delicious. Ordered Miser Wat, which is usually just a slob of [delicious]…More »
17. Nostro Caffe - CLOSED
Portland, OR 97209
(503) 206-6388
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Italian
Neighbourhood: Pearl District
Twice I've been to Portland in the last 12 months, and twice I've gone to Mr. Jolly's. It's hard to call a coffee shop a "must visit" place because coffee is coffee, and if you're a true addict then you understand that coffee snobbery is best left to…More »
18. University Ave Barbershop
Seattle, WA 98105
(206) 633-3200
Category:
Barbers
Neighbourhood: University District
When my hair gets long it becomes curly and I look like a doofus. This is a bad thing because is denigrates the usual appearance of brilliance that the "5 on the top, 2 on the sides" buzz shows off to the public.
So I go here, to University Ave…More »
19. Chiso Restaurant
Seattle, WA 98103
(206) 632-3430
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Fremont
I'm no sushi expert, but I was really good at playing Super Smash Bros as Pikachu, so I'm close. Usually I order some basic sushi because the vegetarian menus at most Japanese spots are weak. This place had its own veggie section and had 6 or 7…More »
20. Coffee Shack
This has been sitting as a Yelp draft for days, because for the longest time I thought it would be clever to redo the lyrics to "Shaft" about the Coffee Shack. It was not:
Shack!
Who serves no black coffee drip with immense caffeine for all to sip.

21. Willamette Dental
Sweet. I get to give a five star review to a dentist.
This was my first appointment at any dentist in 4 to 5 years. My last dentist was a nice guy, but his plastic medical gloves smelled like poop and I had a hard time sitting in the chair without…More »
