"This Filipino lunch counter is an escape from Pike Place’s chaotic vortex. It also serves amazing adobo, prepared by a woman who is quite kind, despite some brash signage (such as, “IF U DON’T KNOW HOW TO EAT OUR SALMON SINIGANG DON’T ORDER IT”). The bright red longanisa alone is so legendary that we’d gladly brave the chowder fanatic swarms. There’s a reason why this place has been going strong since 1987, and it’s thanks in part to this link of meat." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
