The Best Restaurant in University District, Seattle

Background Illustration for Restaurants

The "U-District" is great for cheap eats from around the world but falls short on fine dining. It's worth strolling up and down The Ave (University Way NE) to see if anything beckons to you before settling on a spot. There are some popular brunch spots scattered about, too.

Korean Tofu House

$ | University District

For the UW version of a classic student-friendly, no-frills restaurant, it’s hard to beat Korean Tofu House. In an unadorned basement dining room, the hardworking crew serves up hearty, delicious, reasonably priced Korean specialties, including kimchee tofu soup, bibimbap, and bulgogi. Though "tofu" is in the name and features prominently, most dishes have some meat in them; vegetarians should read the fine print.
