This excellent Korean restaurant — which has outposts in Edmonds and the U District — is known for fiery bowls of soondubu-jjigae, filled with a variety of beef, pork, seafood, dumplings, and vegetables. Each order comes with a side of rice and a selection of banchan. Available for takeout, delivery (viaDoordash,Postmates, andUber Eats), and limited dine-in.

Bagels are the main name of the game at this new cafe inside the Via6 luxury apartment building across from the Amazon Spheres — but don’t sleep on the matzo ball soup. While many other delis around town have versions that hew closely to the classic, Rubinstein has decided to go with a duck fat twist (blended into the matzo, not the broth), and the extra oomph works.

Capitol Hill’s low-key counter above the QFC on Harvard Avenue serves some of the best ramen around town, with silky broths and noodles that soak up the flavor nicely. The shoyu variety is a favorite, but for those that don’t mind a little more heat, the spicy kotteri ramen certainly delivers — with spice level customizable. Takeout kits are availablevia the website.

Though it’s usually considered a tourist trap, the Pike Place mainstay really does have some of the best chowder in town, whether in clam, salmon, scallop, and crab and oyster varieties, all served in a sourdough bread bowl. It’s a New England classic with plenty of Pacific Northwest spirit. Available for takeout.

After years going without a menu, the three generation family-owned Pike Place lunch counter is gettinga little more structureduring the pandemic. But the famed salmon collar sinigang from beloved chef Leila Rosas remains unchanged in all its sour glory, and helped earn this spot a James Beard Classics Award. Open for takeout.

The much-admired Cambodian restaurant in the International District that closed for two years got a revival in 2020. A fan favorite is the “special rice noodle soup,” made with prawn fish cakes, fish balls, and pork, swimming in a fragrant broth. But the tamarind-flavored samlaw machouis stellar as well, and both are available as to-go kits for heating at home.

There are plenty of places around the city to get hot and sour soup, but the longtime International District probably has one of the most sought-after versions: silky, with a pleasant balance of tang and spice. The minced crab meat with fried fish maw soup isn’t a bad alternative, either. Available for takeout and delivery viaGrubhub,Doordash, andPostmates.

The menu at this International District favorite is robust, from fried noodles to soup noodles, so it’s hard to go wrong with any choice. But one particular standout is the laksa curry noodle soup, with its Malaysian flavors. Available for takeoutvia the official website, or delivery throughGrubhub,Caviar, andUber Eats.

There are certainly other good hominy and pork stew options around town (including Ballard’sLa Carta de Oaxaca), but El Paisano keeps things admirably simple. The hearty pozole at the unassuming White Center spot brims with tender meat (it’s neighbors with a butchery, after all), and the service is cheerful. Available for takeout and delivery viaDoordash.
