10 Great Meals For $10 In Seattle
You don't have to spend a lot at these restaurants to come away satisfied.
Musubi Kai
Musubi Kai is a Hawaiian counter spot Downtown that serves a lineup of musubi, donburi bowls, and poke. Prioritize anything with Spam.
Mt. Joy
Mt. Joy is one of many Capitol Hill fried chicken sandwich shops that stays open late—but it happens to be our favorite.
Maíz Taquería
Make Maíz Taquería your next stop for a casual sit-down lunch in Ballard and excellent tacos.
Farmboy Bites
Farmboy Bites is a food truck permanently parked at Future Primitive Brewing that serves excellent smashburgers—particularly the onion-loaded Fair Burger.
Ken's Market
Ken's Market is an ordinary Greenwood grocery store that serves an extraordinary Thursday-only smashburger from the deli counter. Swing by after 11am to grab one.

Leschi Market is known for its big selection of wine and snacks, but it's the prime rib sandwich you should really stop in for.
Poke To The Max
The SeaTac Airport outpost of Poke To The Max serves the same Hawaiian classics from the original Hillman City location, and works well for a quick lunch before you spend the next five hours in a middle seat.
Pallino
If you need a big bowl of pasta (and some pretty good garlic bread) at SeaTac Airport, head to Pallino.
Evergreens
When it feels like the only green thing available at SeaTac airport is a martini olive, stop by Evergreens for a giant salad with lots of toppings.
Sizzle & Crunch
Sizzle & Crunch is a casual Vietnamese counter in the University District that serves bánh mì, rice bowls, and salads—but you can find better elsewhere.
Dave’s Hot Chicken
Dave's Hot Chicken on Capitol Hill serves mediocre Nashville-style tenders and sandwiches that aren't worth the wait.
Little Jaye
Little Jaye is the bakery brainchild of the Lady Jaye team, and their excellent pastries are some of the best things to happen to South Park.
Maruta Shoten
At Maruta Shoten in Georgetown, you can pick up some of Seattle's best sushi for less than $20.
Quick Pack Food Mart
