Sugar Hill

Lucked into Sugar Hill while looking for eats on our way up to Broadway. They have an awesome happy hour, so I ducked in and asked if minors were okay. I got the thumbs up, so in we went. The atmosphere is top notch and the vibe is on point. From the records on the walls to the music selection made it really special. We had crab fried rice, two kinds of Pad Thai, and two appetizers. Everyone loved the flavor and the prep. Even with a garlic allergy the staff worked with us to feel welcome and special. Everyone on staff was friendly and genuine. My daughters felt like they were in the most grown-up place they'd ever experience. The staff was really welcoming, it was just great. I'm stingy with my 5's but Sugar Hill earned it.

Experience was amazing and the food was outstanding and the service from the bartenders were truly outstanding. I’ve had lots of food but nothing really compares to Sugar hill.

Had the vegan roti appetizer and it was great! The bread was a little too oily and curry sweet, but very flavorful overall

Sugar Hill in Capitol Hill, Seattle, is an absolute gem. The music is always on point—great vibes, perfect volume, and an awesome mix that keeps the energy up all night. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The overall experience was nothing short of amazing. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Seattle, I highly recommend stopping by Sugar Hill. You won’t be disappointed!

Sugar Hill was a highlight of my trip to Seattle. The service was excellent, the music upstairs with the live DJ brought great energy, and the Record Room downstairs was the perfect spot to unwind. It feels like multiple great spots all wrapped into one, perfect for whatever night you're in the mood for. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.

There is a mandatory 22% service charge. “This charge is fully retained by the business” Also, when you pay through the QR code, you get a mandatory newsletter sign up and you cannot opt out. This ruins the vibe of your business more than what you gain by doing stuff like this. I want to directly tip your employee, not contribute to some business managed fund. The food was good.

We had a great event at Sugar Hill! The specialty drinks were an absolute hit (tasty with fun colors) and we flew threw the food. The upstairs was perfect for our group of 60 and very reasonably priced.

To be honest I just moved to Seattle and have had a lot of great new spots. This is the only spot that will have a bad review. Pricing was insane 20 dollars a drink. Didn't taste very good and tip was included in price which is great but it's still asks you to tip on top of that. Got two drinks and walked out right after. 44 dollars for 2 drinks is crazy. Thought it just may be Seattle pricing but then stopped by 3 other bars. Much better 7 dollars for some and one was 15 dollars at the most expensive and was 3x the amount of drink. Much better environment as well. Really sad about this place. It's a drinking place your bank account would regret going the next morning.

Came here on a Monday for their happy hour that happens from 5pm to 6pm everyday where everything in the menu is 50% off. I am surprised this place wasn't more crowded since this was such a great deal and the food and drinks are great. Round 1: We started with the Nang Gai Tod (Deep Fried chicken skin) and Beek Gai Tod (deep fried chicken wings) both comes with a very tasty tamarind sauce. Oh my, the chicken skin was so tasty and it was freshly fried. The wings were super juicy and simple which went very well with the dipping sauce. We also ordered 2 Cocktails: Drink number one is the Bass'd which is essentially a Thai ice tea spiked with Hennessy which went very well together. Drink number two is the sugar mule which is basically a Moscow mule with lemon grass and kaffir lime leaves which was very refreshing. Both drinks were great and I would recommend. Then we had the Moo Manao (grilled pork jowl) and I must say this was the highlight of the show. It was one of thier specials and I'm a fan if pork jowl. The porkjowl was so tender, nice and fatty. It is seasoned very well and has a grilled smoky taste. It was on a bed of shredded cabbage and drizzled with some sort of sour dressing that paired with the fat very well. This dish I highly recommend! Then we had the Khao Mun Gai Tod (fried chicken with fragrant rice). It was good and very similar to most Thai resturants fried chicken over rice dish with a sweet and sour dip sauce. Round 2 Since the first round of food was so good we decided to try a couple more appetizers and drink. We got the Nham Si-Khrong Moo Tod (deep fried pork ribs) which came with a lot of ribs. They were cut into small pieces and deep fried and came with a wedge of cabbage. I think this dish was a bit dry but will probably pair well with beer. We also got the Kang Kiew + Roti (green curry with thai pancake). The roti was very flaky and may have been deep dried. The curry sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, kind of like a dessert. For Drink number three we ordered Jam On It (gin, lemon, elderflower, rasbery Jam, and rosemary. This one was very fragrant. The server was very attentive and service was fast. She was the only server and was manning the bar at the same time so kudos to her.

Stumbled in here on the Saturday at 5:45pm and find out there is a 50% off happy hour from 5pm-6pm. Our server was a real one for letting us know and making sure we got our orders in on time. The outdoor seating is pretty and the ambiance is nice! Great service too! Even with the discount the food was about $50 after the 22% service charge. I like service charges btw but overall just felt like too expensive for our level of satisfaction. Tofu Pad Thai: 1/5, weird noodle thickness and tasted under cooked Duck red curry: 3/5, very liquidy, decent amount of meat Tofu pillows: 5/5, tasty!

Great food and service! They have a dog friendly patio on the upper level. I'd definitely recommend coming for their happy hour where the whole menu is 50% off. I really liked the fresh rolls, tofu pillows, and pad Thai. They do have vegan options and other modifications for dietary concerns. It was a lovely sunny patio so I'd definitely want to sit there again even if I wasn't with my dog.

I can never say enough good things about Sugar Hill. We come here for almost all of our birthdays, as they accommodate large groups easily. The food is so good in my opinion. Plenty of gluten free options, including my favorite, Khao Tom Gai. It's a soup filled with chicken, rice, ginger, and more, and it's absolutely incredible. For only $13, I'm always full. Their cocktail selection is outstanding as well. The Jam on It is my personal favorite, and I wish more restaurants served a gimlet this delicious. See you soon, Sugar Hill!

Maria greeted us right away she was very nice and friendly, we got sat right away. We ordered a lot of different dishes, everything was good, had good flavors, sweet , savory , spicy, sour, it was really good. Restaurant was nice intimate vibrant and clean, we were in a room full of vinyl, they had good music in the background that our whole party was vibing to all night. Definitely would recommend

Really rude staff at this location wouldn't recommend going here. Better off hanging out elsewhere in cap hill

We came to Sugar Hill at 5:15 on a Friday to enjoy the Happy Hour and we had an amazing experience. I was able to try 3 drinks: - Soul Plane - Jam On It - French Montana The Soul Plane and Jam On It were awesome. I did not like the French Montana. For food: - Tua Khak (Green Beans) - Giew Poo (crab and cream cheese wontons)... REALLY GOOD - Pad Thai (with Chicken), heat 3 out of 5 All of the food was great. The heat 3 out of 5 was pretty hot for sure, but I probably won't go down to a 2 next time. This was an awesome deal and we will definitely be back.

I ordered the Tom Yum fries. They were amazing. Hot and fresh. The fries have a good crisp and weren't burnt. The ambiance is very chill. There's red LED lights and RnB music playing. I got a booth seat and it was very comfortable. The noise level is moderate. You can hear conversations at your table pretty well.

We had a reservation on a Saturday night but it wasn't necessary. Our party of five was given the option to sit upstairs or downstairs. There was more space upstairs so we opted for that. Our server/bartender, Kenny, took great care of us, was knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. This was the best pad Thai I've ever had. The portion was large and I was frustrated that I couldn't finish it all. I ordered mine with chicken and a level 3 of spice- your server will be able to explain this to you. I enjoy spicy food and it was perfect. I also had a watermelon margarita, which is one of their seasonal drinks. It was fine but I wouldn't order it again. Our table shared an order of chicken wings (not pictured). The wings were a bit salty but were perfectly crispy.

Came out for my friend's bday and the service was HORRIBLE! I'm a classy woman and both bartenders were completely dismissive! They would only serve ones who were completely drunk. I understand they want to make money but as a customer, it was absolutely rude! I heard this place was a nice vibe but the service was extremely horrible! Music is good but from the service, I will not be coming back!

I've ordered from Door Dash several times and ate in for the first time last night. Wasn't what I was expecting when we first walked in, but it was an interesting vibe. They were playing some great music. Now the food, wow! I knew their Pad Thai was good. Tried it with duck this time and it was even better!! Also got the duck curry which was delicious, pineapple fried rice (served in a pineapple!), and Kao Soi. I wouldn't order the Kao Soi again. It had too much spice for me, even asking for it with least amount possible. It also had a strong lemongrass flavor, which I didn't care for. Hubby loved the crab rangoons ( real crab) and the fried chicken skins. Cocktails were really good. Service was good. They do add 20% auto gratuity though. We ran up a pretty large tab for 2 people, but we had lots of leftovers. I will definitely be getting the pad Thai here again. Might just be the best I've tried in Seattle!

I was here at the end of August and it's a place that I wish that I had in my backyard to go to every week! I stuck with my usual Pad Thai with tofu, but was so torn by all the other options. The flavors/spice level were right on and it was hard to stop eating when I was full off the generous portion. I went with one of the bottled beers and it paired really nicely with my food. The vibe of Sugar Hill is edgy, moody, and retro. It's hard to say if the music or the food is what had me dancing in my chair. The bartender was running the place and service was great!

Great ambiance. Great service. Great food. Great cocktails. Great happy hour. Great location. I would highly recommend this spot. Note, they add 20% grat to the bill - I saw that from other reviews AND our server called it out when he brought the bill (great service). We went on a Saturday night at 5:00 and didn't need the reservation I made; however, you may want to do so if it's a summer month, as I'd imagine they'd be busy on the patio. The music was right up my alley with a predominant mix of Mac Miller and Russ. We got the tofu pillows to start and they were delicious. From there we went with chicken fried rice and pad Thai. Both are simple, traditional dishes that are a great barometer of the overall quality of the food. With a spice level of 2, I could have gone to a 3 and she was satisfied with the 2 - tasty dishes indeed. Pleasantly surprised and highly recommend you try this place out.

Great food. Had the coconut curry, and a few other dishes at the bar. Super good. A little pricey for what one gets but overall good.

Friendly staff, great music and dj. The bartender Ryan is good at making drinks and very friendly. The food is ridiculously good. I recommend the pad so yu.

Here's an experience POV: It's like when a Fast & Furious principled type family runs a city lounge/bar, that features local & out of state DJs on the weekends, and serves bomb Thai street food, that ALSO happens to be down the street from their first family owned and operated restaurant that's been in the city for 30+ years And everyone who works in here is impeccably kind AF - unless you're a prude dick, of course

Do not dine here. This business has hid my Google review. I will attach screenshots of my initial review and the unprofessional response from this business. I tried to make the screenshots in order the best I could for you all but I don't think Yelp prioritizes photo placement. Imagine giving a restaurant a chance even despite the fact that they were having a bad night and they make no effort to show basic customer service. And when you voice these complaints they try to hide your review to keep others from seeing what could potentially happen to them. In addition to potentially hiding your review, they respond to it in the most snarky manner possible. How are you going to get sassy with me like I was the one who wronged you? A reserved birthday dinner and when we arrive there is no main course and the menu has a limited selection of appetizers. The appetizers themselves are taking a very long time to get to us and then there are incorrect orders of the appetizers that you all made us pay for and I'm being responded to as if my table was the issue. The least they could do for us in this situation was order a free round of water for the inconvenience (and I mean this sarcastically because they absolutely did not do anything for us to alleviate this horrible experience) but nope, instead they decided to still charge you a cake fee for all THEIR troubles. Way to wish the celebrant a happy birthday even when she tried to give you all a chance. Not one time during the night did the owner/restaurant even cared to think to themselves "hmm, our patron reserved a table well in advance, it's a birthday dinner and we are unable to provide her with hospitality that we normally provide, let's do something to make this terrible night a little better for her" It's not about the fee, it's about the principles. It's about the customer service. So to all potential patrons of this restaurant, if they are having a bad night and it is ruining your experience, don't worry because they do not care if you don't come back, as long as they got something out of you that day.

This place is great! Best Thai Food I've ever had. Music and vibes were great. I wish I lived in Seattle so I could go back!

Came before going to see Hamilton. Great food! Comfortable and cozy seating and really good service. Love the neighborhood and staff interaction was light and fun but also quick and respectful. Will go back. Would recommend the red curry it was great. Happy hour every day and everything is half off can't beat it!

This place is a really cool hybrid Thai restaurant and hip hop bar, which is honestly a pretty weird combination, but I can only speak for the bar portion since I didn't get any food. I really enjoyed my experience here, even though I didn't stay for long since I was bar hopping with a friend. The upstairs bar area had really cool decor and lighting that was very vaporwave-esque, and definitely complimented the aesthetic of the place. There are also records lined on the shelves downstairs, and they play some old school rnb and hip hop, which I also really liked. I only got one drink, Bass'd, which was a Thai tea cocktail with Hennessy. The drink itself was pretty strong but tasted really good, as I'm especially a sucker for tea or Asian inspired drinks. The rest of their drinks are also inspired by Thai flavors. I went during a weeknight so I'm not sure how busy it usually gets, but I definitely want to come back to try their other drinks.

Happy hour: Half off food and drinks from 5-6pm wed-sun! Thai food is flavorful, patio is great on a sunny afternoon and records surround the seating area for a hip vibe. Servers were friendly and had great suggestions!

The food is so good! Don't sleep on the kra pao Kai dao with shrimp good lawd! Drinks, service, and vibes are solid too, rnb/hip hop without the top 40 rotation in the background while we grubbed down. Highly recommend to anyone as they have a lot of pescatarian/vegetarian options. I'm not gluten free but they have a lot of options falling under that category.

Unfortunately they will charge you for random things if you don't check not good for business or professional. Really not nice guys

Every time I visit Sugar Hill I always leave content. The drinks and food are delicious. The service is great!! And the vibes are immaculate.

I love this place! This is one of my go tos in Capitol Hill. The atmosphere and music is nice. They have a good amount of space so wait time is usually pretty short, which is especially great for bigger parties. My favorite dish is definitely the Roti. It's different from other Rotis that I've tried. Sugar Hill's is a bit chewier(I thought it had a slight Mocha texture which was delicious). We also got the Khao Noi and Pad Thai. You could choose a spiciness level of 1-5. I'm not the best with spice so a 2 was good for me. I tried a 3 and it was a bit too spicy for me. For dessert we got the sticky Mango Sticky Rice. The mango was a bit sour, but it could just be that it's out of season. Our waiter was incredibly nice. Without asking, she split the bill for my party and was able to remember everyone's orders to do so. Overall great place to dine at!

I frequented Sugar Hill on the weekends to dance in my younger years. I didn't know they also serve food. I enjoyed the food here. I ordered moo ping one of my fav Thai dishes. Although the skewers were small, they were grilled perfectly and the tamarind based sauce complimented it very well. I also ordered thum tang, cucumber salad to pair with the meat. I made the mistake of ordering 5 stars, it was definitely Thai spicy not American spicy. My mouth was on fire. Drinks were strong. Got the Banana clip and Bass'd. This unique flavors of Hennessy and Thai tea sparked my interest and I was glad I tried it. Lights are dim with hip hop music in the background. Perfect place to catch up with girlfriends or have a date night.

A few friends and I came here on a Friday night to meet some other friends and as you would expect, it was pretty busy, but they ended up making room for us at our friend's table. Walking in, they are pretty strict on getting a temperature check masks are required while moving around the restaurant. I definitely don't have an issue with this. It think it's good they are looking out for other patrons and also the staff's health. There's hand sanitizer pretty much everywhere - from the entrance to every single table. They even have a sign at the table with restaurant guidelines that all patrons are to abide by. Now on to the food. I got the Moo Ping, while my friends got the Khao Mun Gai and Kang Giew Roti. Although the moo ping skewers had a lot of flavor, it was a tad salty and hard to eat since it was difficult to get the meat off the skewer. While my friend who got the curry also said his curry was salty. I think the roiti kind of tried to balance it, but the saltiness was a tad overpowering. My friend who got that Khao Mun Gai loved her dish all around. The atmosphere of Sugar Hill was great! They had a live dj playing 90s throwback, which livened up the atmosphere. People would be singing and dancing (dancing in their seats because dancing out of the seat is forbidden) and it was just a great environment. There's great decor if you like art and shoes. Most of the staff were pretty friendly and helpful, although we did encounter a bit of hostility early on. Overall, I have to say the food was a bit overpriced for what was given. But I'm not surprised with the cost since it is Capital Hill. I'm hoping that the food isn't always salty. But if it is and you like salty food and don't mind the cost, this place is a good place to dine with friends at. I'd like to give Sugar Hill another try someday.

Great ambience, good vibes and good energy. The food is also really good too. The pad see ew I had there last week was as good as I've ever had. Perfect for a first date...or fifth, or 50th... I've been a handful of times and I plan to keep going.

Super cool spot to check out in Seattle. Service is great and they are friendly. It is a good spot to check out for dinner and drinks with friends. The theme of the restaurant is really cool and different from other places. The drinks are fun and they have many options! I would come here again!

We came for dinner during the week and it was popping. The food was good, but not as good as other thai places I've had in the city. They seem to be going for a high end restaurant type of feel, with small plates that weren't really worth it in my opinion as it was just plated nicely. The food didn't wow me for the price it was charging and the small portions. And personally everything was a bit too salty and sour.

sugar hill has the best music i've heard anywhere in seattle - with 90s-2000s hip hop classics and a live dj on the weekends. the decor is super cool, with the walls covered in old vinyls with artists from aaliyah to jay-z. the staff and the vibes here make it one of my favorite places to hang in downtown. really liked the dishes we got - really flavorful and tender! only wish would be for a larger portion of the 50/50, was pretty small for the price. they did just start a new happy hour with half price all food and drinks - super excited to check it out!! they also have a super cool party every friday night in collaboration with @cuffinseattle that i've been meaning to check out - all r&b and hip hop classics pictured: the 50/50: khao mun gai (poached chicken, fragrant rice, winter melon soup, homemade ginger soy bean sauce) and khao mun gai tod (deep fried chicken thigh, fragrant rice, winter melon soup, sweet chili sauce) pla lard prik: deep fried whole golden pompano, spicy garlic tamarind sauce, basil

I had the Pad Krapoa Kai Dow. If I was giving this place a rating just on the food, I would have to give it 3 stars. My dinner was not as flavorful as I expect when eating this dish. I was also told that there are 5 spice levels...I asked for a 4/5 and it felt more like a 2 to me. With that being said, I can never really dislike Thai food as long as it still tastes like Thai food haha. In terms of the overall place and personality of the restaurant I would definitely be curious enough to come back for drinks. I sat in the downstairs area and did not check out the bar upstairs, but I really liked what I got of the vibes downstairs. A lot of people seemed like they were there for a fun night out and the hip hop music was something I haven't seen before at a Thai place. I would come again with friends to check out their drinks and bar, but I wouldn't come back for just the food.

5 star ratings. Off the charts for idyllic oasis and exquisite cuisine in a beautiful environment!! Access to all the amazing amenities in the gorgeous Franconia Notch

really awesome happy hour deal -- 50% off everything. We got drinks and apps to share. Some apps were very shareable like fries were great, other apps were pretty small (fresh rolls, crab rangoons were small). Pretty empty when we got there but cool music playing!

We came around 9pm and were greeted by one of the bartenders who invited us upstairs with a lively environment in the bar. There was very ambient purple and red lighting in the bar which really gave off the younger capitol hill crowd vibe. There was also a live DJ coming in at 10 which was so excited to witness is this close knit restaurant. The food was to die for we got the chicken pad thai and a starter which was enough for my boyfriend and I to share. we have a decent spice tolerance and got 3 for all of our spice levels and it was pretty spicy we were downing water constantly so be conscious of that when they ask you what level you want for spiciness. Otherwise it was great and we come here all the time !

So at first, this seems like a great fun place to be at. Don't ever plan on going to the bathroom, it tends to be a waiting period of 15 minutes or more. And the later you arrive, it gets harder to find a stall as libations begin to take over. The food however I experienced today was great. Lots of flavors from all over. Especially loved the crisply fried chicken skin. I believe they are he only ones to do this. The place gets packed so get here earlier to avoid the long lines! The CJ is great and plays lots of the most current songs. The only downside: the bathroom line gets long, so get in line before it gets bursting!

My friends and I were on the hunt for a bar/lounge in Seattle that didn't do the usual EDM playlists. We heard this was a chill spot that played good hip hop music so we decided to check it out. While the downstairs is a restaurant/lounge, the upstairs has a full bar, dance floor, and outside patio. The weekend we went it was pretty empty (so was most of Seattle), but I'd definitely come back another time to grab some good drinks.

The drinks, food, and service was fantastic! The happy is a great deal, and I really enjoyed my overall experience. Highly recommend the Khao Soi!

Soooooo Good! The ambiance and the customer service just bar none. Today I had the green curry and the Pad Thai and it's definitely unforgettable! Everything from the vinyl records on the wall to the drinks served were just unlike anything I've ever had a Thai restaurant and seen in Seattle! It was that good! Thank you Sugar Hill for making this experience such a memorable one and for setting yourself apart from the rest! I will definitely be back soon!! I can't wait until my next visit! I'd leave 10 Stars if I could! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

Came from LA and saw this place on Tik Tok. This was hands down the best food of me and my boyfriends life. It was his birthday and the food, drinks, and service did not disappoint. Our server was serving the entire restaurant by herself and she was still amazing. The owner (maybe) took pictures of us and had us model, helped the server run food etc.... Our server was fun too! She helped us pronounce the names of the dishes since it was our first time having this type of food. Our drinks were absolutely amaazzzzzing. I'm a bartender and I'm telling you - frickin awesome. Everything was 15 out of 10, so good!!! The music was sooooooo good too and the views are cool!

Was recommended this place by a pal who had gone a couple times in the evening and absolutely adored it...our afternoon experience was slightly disappointing but I will give it another try in the evening! The building was freezing which may of contributed to the cold sticky rice :/ the mangos were fresh and they give you a large serving for an affordable price but the rice was pretty hard and we ended up doing take away so we could warm it up later! The fresh rolls were great and the peanut sauce was stellar way more flavor than some other peanut sauces I've had! Our server was friendly but a little slow for a pretty empty looking room but they also just opened and we were their first customers so they may still of been finishing up some other tasks!

Amazing atmosphere, good drinks, quite good food. This is a really sweet hip hop bar that doubles as a Thai restaurant. They have all the Thai classics as well as khao man gai which is a unique dish that's sometimes called Hainese chicken rice. Great meal for the summer especially (whenever that comes around). I think that's their house speciality actually! It's a nice, light meal. Where it falls down slightly for me is three things: they charge extra for takeout, which is completely nonstandard; several times when I've ordered, they've used the wrong noodles for pad thai, using wide noodles instead of pad Thai noodles which to me ruin the dish; and the price, which is much higher than other Thai restaurants in the neighborhood. All and all, definitely worth checking out and seeing if it's for you.

Nice little place, very nice team The dish fresh and very good quality Try the chicken noodle soup (big and very spicy!!!) The children carry very tasty but very little chicken and great for chilly lovers

I had high hopes for this place. Nice decor. Not many people. I sat at the bar. Interesting menu. I had a list of items I was going to order. Started with the wings. 4 wings for $6 at happy hour. Great taste. Light and crispy. Halfway through the first wing I looked at it and it was pink so I was a bit wary. I asked if it was fully cooked and the guy said it was. Against my instinct, I kept eating. They have a nice soy sauce that goes with them. I got to the last wing and noticed a pool of pink liquid on the plate. I stopped eating because the wing was raw. I told the server that I wasn't comfortable eating it because it looked raw. He said it's fully cooked. That's not an explanation I needed. He didn't take it off my bill so I paid and left. Take a look at the picture and decide if you would eat this. I'm hoping I don't get sick. I see on yelp that someone else had the same experience. If it was fully cooked they need to explain why the wings were pink and pink liquid flowed out. But I got nothing. I hope they respond to this review.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food (my Pad Thai was great)! The atmosphere is warm with records decorating the walls and Jessie was such a wonderful host. Thank you!

This place is called Sugar Hill, but god damn the food is salty as hell. Please consider to change the name to Salty Hill. Thank you!

Pretty good service and food! Portion size could have been a bit bigger. vibes of the place a bit dull

This place is so underrated!! We got the fried chicken for a snack and some cocktails - pandan replay and jam on it, definitely a 9.5/10 for everything. The vibe is super cute + good music and all the servers were really nice and welcoming!! Sad that I'm only visiting for the weekend but would definitely come back whenever I visit again

The atmosphere was cute and cozy and I loved the music. We had an awesome server who was so friendly and attentive. I loved his energy! I wish I caught his name. The drinks were pretty good too and had interesting twists. Overall great place to grab a happy hour cocktail.
