"Like everything else at Marination, these Portuguese-Hawaiian-style fried doughnuts are a fast-casual miracle. They are sugar-dusted and crispy on the outside, warm and comforting on the inside, and unfortunately gone in a few bites. You don’t need to get fruit filling in the middle, but you’re already eating a doughnut, why not add some coconut or passion fruit to that experience? (Note that these treats don’t seem to be available at Marination’s West Seattle location at the moment.)" - Harry Cheadle
"For fish and chips at Alki Beach, try skipping the classic spots on the main strip to stop by Hawaiian restaurant Marination Ma Kai. The breading has layers upon layers of crispy panko, and signature sauces like the miso ginger tartar aren’t found anywhere else in the city. Patrons can avoid the line, which is guaranteed to be out the door on a sunny day, by ordering ahead online." - Nate Hall
"No, it doesn’t have the incredible beachfront view that the West Seattle location has, but Marination in South Lake Union still has a similar menu of Hawaiian riffs on beach food that you know and love. On a nice day, nothing will quite hit the spot like their “sexy tofu” tacos and macaroni salad, and on a disgustingly rainy day, a giant takeout container of kimchi fried rice is what you need to power through your inbox. Hey, only 579 unread emails until you can go home." - Aimee Rizzo
"Kamala Saxton, co-owner of Marination, stated that they are still asking people to wear masks when entering all of their restaurants." - Gabe Guarente
"Kamala Saxton, owner of Marination, noted that their Amazon-area location was affected by the curfews, resulting in the restaurant opening and then closing several hours later for multiple days." - Gabe Guarente
