"If you’re at Pike Place Market chances are you’re on some version of a big day out and spending a bunch of money on concert tickets or museum passes or ferry rides, plus if that busker who plays a violin in a huge cat mask is there you gotta throw them a couple bucks. So if you want to avoid splurging on lunch, line up at this unassuming window where the hum bao — hot, meaty, and satisfying — are around $5." - Meg van Huygen, Eater Staff
