Diego H. • September 20, 2021Entrees are a good size, tiramisu is huge. Good selection of wine. Our pasta tasted authentic (compared to other places in seattle)

cYeNz • December 30, 2014What to say? If you crave an authentic French café experience, this is the place to be: from sparkling rosé wines, steak frites, duck confit, a great espresso, this place has it all

Anthony D. • August 30, 2012This place is fantastic. A real authentic piece of Switzerland in Seattle! Get the croissant, delicious

Stephen S. • May 20, 2017One of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I am Mexican and know authentic when I have it, believe me lol. Get the barbacoa tacos! You won't regret it. One of the only places in Seattle that serves it!

Angie M. • April 22, 2017Great authentic Mexican (I.e. Not a cheese dip place) Happy hour prices impress... the pollo soup is out of this world ... leave room for churros!

Gaston M. • July 28, 2018Definitely one of the best places in Seattle for authentic Mexican food, great place for dinner and drinks! Highly recommended.

Elijah K. • December 4, 2018This place is so creative and authentic, I love the twist this tropical paradise adds to Capitol Hill. Try the lychee thieves!

Melanie V. • May 22, 2018This place is amazing! Was visiting from Texas and this is the closest to authentic you can get. Will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Seattle. Great late night happy hour from 9 to close!

lanna r. • October 12, 2011Do your self a favor and get the sangria. Best I've ever had. Also, get anything on the menu. This place is the best for authentic mexican, none of that Azteca stuff here.

Denise F. • January 25, 2020Food/drinks is delicious, looks authentic! Service always friendly and efficient. House is always busy, but there's lot of sitting places.

Angelo D. • July 10, 2014The portions could be bigger and some of the staff could be more personable (a few are excellent) but the food is top notch, consistent, and truly authentic. I love this place so much!

Elif K. • June 10, 2018Service was nice but food is awful. If you're looking for authentic (or even tasty) middle eastern food, this is not the place.

Luis A. • April 19, 2014It's The Comet in name only. This place is nothing like the old classic. You might think it was always like this but it's just designed to look "authentic." #DisappearingSeattle

Jie J. • May 14, 2015The pad see ewe, pad Thai, and khao soy here are all excellent. I looooooove this place. Most authentic Thai place I've been to outside of Thailand.

Shaunt B. • March 26, 2011Authentic amazing pizza! Even if you're not a pizza lover, you'll love this place! Service is amazing also. Thanks Kara!

Alina G. • December 14, 2015My favourite brunch place in Seattle! They serve Caffe Vita, which is my one love and authentic french dishes. Cheese plate is very small, but sophisticated.

kate t. • March 13, 2020This place is authentic and so so delicious. I got the tamagofuji and it was huge and perfect for a cold blustery day!

Charlie L. • October 14, 2019Everything’s good here. This is by far one of the most underrated Thai spots in the city. Family owned, and the service is great. If you’re looking for some authentic Thai food, don’t miss this place!

Paul (p2) P. • October 13, 2013The food is authentic and good. I love the fresco ensaladas, the combo is a great meal. Chicken soup is good any day. Love this place.

Crashi T. • November 10, 2017In my opinion, this is the best ramen place in Seattle now. The most authentic Fukuoka style Tonkotsu ramen made by actual ramen chefs from Japan.

Kanin S. • October 15, 2014The most authentic Thai place on the Ave!

Richard S. • April 22, 2013Wonderful place to see authentic Chinese-style garden and architecture. Free admission, not crowded. Built with help from the Municipality of ChongQing.

Tulasi Ram A. • October 19, 2019Place is crowded, better to reserve. Nice vibe and authentic indian food. I had Bajji, Fish tikka and mutton biryani they are delicious. Bartender is so friendly. I would definitely go there again.

Paul M. • December 10, 2012For those of you who have lived in Germany, this place is pretty authentic!

Chris S. • August 11, 2016I'm totally burned out on Americanized Thai food. My favorite street-Thai food restaurant closed a couple of months ago & I've been jonezing for some authentic Thai. This place fit the bill.

Felicity M. • October 10, 2017This place is insane. Spanish experts - able to create an authentic basque meal all courses from here 🙌 heaven 😊

Zary L. • March 10, 2012The best place for authentic "local style" food. Lawai Crispy Ginger Chicken is bomb.com!!!!!

Joy • September 21, 2013Having lived in Korea for five years I can assure you this is the authentic experience. From the food, to the decor and staff this place brings some of the tang and sass from Korea. Eat your kimchi!

Nat M. • October 6, 2015Just really tasty and authentic. Nice ladies run the place.

Claudia K. • June 26, 2015Good place, cool art, good steak sandwich but just a little too much onions, carne asada tacos are far from being authentic, mostly come here for the steak sandwich, cool art and cool atmosphere
