"At Pasifika, the servers say things like “hell yeah, let’s do this” after you order shatteringly crispy lumpia or sticky-sweet BBQ wings. The restaurant may be wedged into a quiet office park in Bellevue, but bright tropical drinks, bouncy reggae, and people celebrating five minutes of sunshine make the place feel like a party. Order the Ha’ani (a mango-hibiscus mojito) and let the stress of 405 gridlock nearby melt away." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
