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.

Philip S. • April 16, 2018The steak and flank pho was chewy, not at all like authentic pho. The soup was also lacking in detail, not as nuanced as better local pho places.

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

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!

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.

Kelly K. • December 30, 2012Excellent place for Pike Place Market atmosphere and people watching without the chaos! Everything is delicious and authentic. Try the macaroons!!

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.

Jacob J. • September 9, 2015This seems to be the only Japanese place around that serves tonkatsu (pork cutlet).Tonkatsu was crispy and sauce was good, but felt coleslaw not authentic. Also should have offered Mizo soup with meal

S • January 2, 2015Begin your pilgrimage in Pike Place and end it at the roasters for an authentic "started from the bottom now we here" experience. Ask a local for their favorite coffee shop and get your latte there.

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

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!

Rachael S. • July 18, 2010Real authentic Irish pub! Sweet place to get a beer outside.

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!

M F. • July 31, 2012Uwajimayas own "deli" section of the food court is better than any place that has the word Panda in its name. Very authentic

Stef t. • February 3, 2010Pho Hoa is definitely one of the most authentic pho places I've been to.

Irene M. • September 6, 2012You can get your own tatami room if you want to eat sushi in relatively authentic privacy, though there is fancier sushi to be had other places. The real draw, though, is the karaoke bar.

Alyssa R. • March 26, 2019The Copacabana is a beautiful authentic Bolivian restaurant. The food is amazing and it is definitely a place you want to go to if you're open to trying new food.
