- SSamboSeattle / Eastern Washington •7 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoWe went to Momiji at the Capitol Hill location to celebrate our second anniversary. The ambience is really nice with the lighting and the beautiful garden at the centre. We ordered some drinks along the Shrimp Tempura roll & Portobella roll. My wife found the Shrimp roll to be great , however the portobella roll was nothing out of the ordinary. We later ordered the yakisoba noodles with chicken and the spicy ginger chicken. Both of these dishes were amazing. Would highly recommend them. Since we didn’t end up trying any of the specialty rolls, it would be unfair to judge the rolls. The waiter was nice and they were really attentive. We were even offered a complimentary desert . We got the Tempura Green Tea Ice cream. It was kind of unique . The price of the dishes were very reasonable and I would really love to try out the speciality rolls in my next visit.More infoMomiji Capitol HillPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.8

- JJenniferSan Francisco Bay Area •62 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis is one of my favorite restaurants for early-morning meetings. It is spacious with great booths. Great light. They open at 7am! Centrally located. I can usually find parking within a block & public transit is pretty easy. The food has something for everyone. But the best is the STAFF because they're always friendly and kind no matter how busy they are.More infoSkillet Diner at Capitol HillPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.3

Discover Seattle
The iconic city tucked inside the Pacific northwest coast does see a lot of rain, but when the sun shines on Seattle, it dazzles. Don’t miss the chance to dine at one of the many waterfront restaurants serving oysters and Pacific-caught seafood. Take a stroll downtown and wander in and out of bookshops and bakeries. Arguably the birthplace of American coffee culture, there’s hardly a better place to enjoy leisurely lattes accompanied by hours of computing and the occasional pen and paper sketch.
