Cozy Beacon Hill spot dishing up crave-worthy Guamanian comfort fare—from umami-packed smashburgers and creamy coconut corn soup to fresh seafood tostadas and tropical cocktails.
"When the oil-speckled miniature brown paper bag hits the table at this Guamanian spot on Beacon Hill, it's hard not to get a little wound up. The donut holes inside the bag are studded with mango chunks, which sweetens the dough enough to temper its density. Dunk liberally in the accompanying spiced white peach coulis." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"Since this casual Guamanian restaurant opened nearly a year ago, it has been an almost instant neighborhood hit. With no marketing or website from the get-go, this place skyrocketed to Beacon Hill’s notoriety on the word of mouth of its incredible food alone. Try the kewpie burger and truffle fries, arguably its most well-known dish. For those looking for something different (there aren’t too many restaurants specializing in Guamanian/Chamorro food in the Seattle area) and a guaranteed incredible experience, this is the spot." - Joey Carreon
"This Guamanian spot on Beacon Hill acts as an archnemesis to the Monday blues. For starters, their double-stacked, kewpie-slathered smashburger alone has enough dopamine-boosting power to convince us it's FDA-approved. Comforting corn soup with chicken thigh and crunchy garlic is the liquid equivalent of texting your therapist an epiphany. And the chatty staff reminds you that not everyone in Seattle is passive-aggressive. Mondays don't stand a chance." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"Another Eater Award-winning restaurant up for Best New Restaurant." - Harry Cheadle
"In 2024, the burgers at this newly opened Beacon Hill Guamanian restaurant went viral, and for good reason. With miso providing a hint of umami and onions lending a sharpness to the bite, these are smashburgers assembled with care. But that same care infuses the rest of the menu overseen by industry vet Elmer Dulla. The rosary soup with corn and chicken is satisfyingly deep and creamy, the tostada with shrimp and octopus is light and pairs nicely with a coconut sauce, and the bananabread with latiya (a custard-like dessert) is a sleeper hit. Order everything." - Eater Staff
