We’re not sure how or why we didn’t come here sooner! 🤯

is serving up crazy good specialty NY-style pizzas, some appetizers we really can’t stop thinking about, and drinks that are just the cherry on top! 🔥

Between the lively atmosphere, great service and a menu full of bangers, it’s safe to say we’ll be back (time and time again..)! 👀

Whether it’s a date, group chat outing, a celebration or even take-out, Rocco’s is 100% the place to be! 🤤

This Bellevue coffee shop has been quietly doing everything right since 2017 👀

We stopped by and did not want to leave. Specialty coffee, a food menu that actually delivers, and the kind of vibe where you show up with a laptop or a book and lose track of time.
Every order supports local nonprofits. A woman-owned spot that has been doing good from day one. ☕

Look no further if you’re wanting some truly authentic Venezuelan food, this one’s a banger! 🤤

We finally got around to trying .vk and can confirm: it’s all that and a bag of chips! Between the sauce bar, the arepas, the empanadas and the super welcoming atmosphere, we’re about to be regulars here! 🔥

We even got to chat with one of the owners (so sweet) and she gave us the 411 on some of their staples! We didn’t try anything we didn’t absolutely love! 🫶🏼

This might be the FRESHEST fish we’ve ever had 🐟🔥

is celebrating 10 years and there’s a reason this family-owned spot has been a Seattle favorite for so long.

We always come here during salmon season for their spicy sweet shoyu salmon, but the smoked salmon mac salad is the one thing we can NEVER skip 🤤

From poke bowls and sashimi to smoked fish, oysters, crab, lobster tails, and more, the seafood options here are endless!

Go wish them a happy 10 year anniversary 🫶

If you’re not ordering a million dishes, you’re doing dim sum wrong 🥢

It’s impossible not to at because look at this spread!! This has easily become one of our go-to dim sum spots and every time we come back, we somehow order even more.

They’ve got all the classic favorites like siu mai and shrimp dumplings, but what really makes them stand out are the unique dishes you don’t see everywhere else like duck tongue and tripe.

And whatever you do, DO NOT skip dessert. Every single one we tried was worth it 🤤

We’ve been eating Peking duck wrong our whole lives 😭🥢

The owner of , (who’s from Beijing) showed us the local way to eat it, and somehow… it actually tastes better!

That sent us down a rabbit hole of ordering EVERYTHING. Handmade pork chive dumplings, chili shrimp rice noodles, wonton soup, garlic string beans, and pork buns. All insanely good.

And if you join their Dumplinger Club, you get perks like discounted dumplings, spin-the-wheel prizes, and $10 off Peking duck 👀🥟

If you check them out, make sure you show the owner your Peking duck-eating skills!

Have you tried Northeastern Chinese food? 👀

If you head to in Edmonds, you can! Their cuisine focuses more on veggies, so if you’re vegan, this is definitely the spot for you.

Whenever we go, we HAVE to get their vegan dumplings, tomato & egg noodles (our fave), and their pork buns smothered in chili oil.

And all of their noodles are handmade, which seriously makes such a huge difference in the taste and quality. Save this post and head here next time you’re craving Chinese food 🥟🍜

A husband and wife spent 20 years in the Japanese restaurant business and then took over a sushi spot in Kirkland that you really need to know about! 🍣

We visited and the Chirashi Don alone was worth the trip. The fish was really, really fresh and the prices actually make sense for the neighborhood. Which we found out is kind of the whole point for them. 🐟

They’ve got a Ballard location too but the OG is right here in Kirkland and it’s time the rest of Seattle knew about it!
