The 14 Best Filipino Restaurants In Seattle - Seattle - The Infatuation

"This Renton restaurant's lumpia is a contender for best in the area. Mekenie’s are thin-but-meaty, and extra crispy. They also serve dishes that you’d normally see at a Filipino aunt’s godchild’s cousin’s christening—like embutido, crab fried rice, and pancit palabok. Inside, there’s a strong karaoke energy when you walk in, almost like it’s your turn to sing when picking up an order. And know that you’re covered for whatever mood you're in. Breakfast? The ‘silog menu is stacked. Lunch or dinner? There aren’t any Filipino dishes missing, whether you’re ordering bistek a la carte or some family-style ginataang sitaw." - terrence jeffrey santos, kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
