Located right next to the light rail station. If you have a sweet tooth like me, I recommend the twice baked chocolate almond croissant. It's as good as it sounds!

The OLDEST SUSHI RESTAURANT in Seattle (I think). Prices aren't cheap, but they're also not expensive. The Miso Black Cod is my favorite, and it goes for $9.50. If you didn't make reservations, try to snag a seat at the bar - they serve the full menu there. NOTE: Only dinner is offered.

Yes, this is a tourist favorite, but definitely NOT A TRAP. It opens at 11am, but try to get there by 10:40. The line move quickly. Restaurant rules: Order then sit. There are likely exceptions, such as when you're travelling with kids. Note: Only serves lunch. It's about $10 a plate, kale salad is about $5. Wine is offered too.

Order the Beef Rib Pho. It's a bit pricey at $13, but so worth it! It comes with two big beef bones. No obligation to share.

It's a deli...Vietnamese style. Solid Vietnamese food. The place is a bit run down, but that's just way things are around hear in Seattle.

Amazing Vietnamese food at a beautiful restaurant. The outside does not do this restaurant justice. This is one of the few place in the International District that has greatly invested in the decor of their restaurant. The food is also amazing. The locals love to go here, but due to the location, not many tourists know about it.

Drinks & Nightlife
I categorize this place as a brewery rather than a bar because it offers a solid food menu. I recommend the fried chicken sandwich, which I learned isn't served after dinner hours, so get there earlier!
