"This casual Guamanian restaurant on Beacon Hill is the kind of place you waltz on in wearing sweats, pick out some stuff that sounds good, and settle in for greatness. Their short menu highlights the best of Chamorro food's multi-cuisine influence. That means you’ll find batchoy ramen sharing table real estate with char-stamped bulgogi, juicy chicken adobo tacos, and an innocent cup of creamy corn soup that reduces us to spoon goblins scraping for last licks. And, yes, the lacy smashburger you've heard about rightfully snatches the crown as Seattle’s greatest. Though you'll encounter the occasional wait, it doesn't feel like one—there’s always a happy flow of folks at the bar catching a game over drinks, and communal table rotations happen quicker than you can say "seafood kelaguen tostada." A staff who loves to shoot the sh*t will keep you company, and in no time, you’ll be able to make space in your brain for the unstoppable majesty of Familyfriend." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
