1. Chops – (Lynnwood)

Cuisine: Korean, Asian Fusion

What they’re known for: Bulgogi fries and assorted burritos

Yelpers say: “I’m usually a bit skeptical about fusion food so I was really surprised by this spot! I got the huli-huli chicken burrito and the flavor is on point. It’s a massive burrito, enough for two servings for me. The tofusion is an amazing flavorful vegetarian option and works so well with the lime.” – Amanda H.

2. Thai Lime Leaf (Everett)

Cuisine: Thai

What they’re known for: Classic dishes such as pad thai and crispy garlic chicken

Yelpers say: “Best Thai restaurant in the area. We’ve had your typical Thai entrees (phad Thai, phad see ew, curries etc) but their spicy eggplant stood out to me. Of course their noodles and curries were good but I love ordering a different entree than the usual. Either way, we’ve been making our way trying everything in the menu and so far, they don’t disappoint!” – Dianne F.

3. Ltd Edition Sushi (Seattle)

Cuisine: Sushi bars

What they’re known for: Their Omakase menu

Yelpers say: “AMAZING!! Came here for a friends birthday dinner in August. Every piece of the Omakase was memorable. My personal favorite was the mackerel, snow crab, shrimp head miso soup, sweet shrimp, toro, and uni. The course served around 15 pieces at a good pace. The chefs were personable and fun-they did a great job hosting. Customer service overall was elite. The variety of sake was great too. Highly recommend the sake fight. I can’t wait to come back.” – Sean P.

4. Melrose Grill (Renton)

Cuisine: American

What they’re known for: Steak

Yelpers say: “Always fantastic for a steak dinner. The service is prompt and kind and the food is amazing every single time. I typically order the New York, but my last visit I chose the brochette and prawns. Best bites of prime rib I’ve had. A smaller thing, but I thoroughly enjoy are the side roasted vegetables, just so good.” – Joseph S.

5. Salty Blue (Renton)

Cuisine: Seafood
