Best Casual Restaurants in International District

This was our first time at the Pink Door, one night I will never forget. From the moment we arrived the ambience made the experience feel classy. The decorations and lighting throughout fit the mood. Customer service and special request were accommodated positively and without hesitation. The menu was simple but not lacking, wasn’t an overwhelming amount to decide nor was it too small to not have options. The food was made at a high level with attention to detail and exquisite taste. It is where I proposed to my now fiancé and provided a night I can’t forget and will be somewhere we come for our special days. Go to the pink door, you will not be disappointed.

Outstanding steak program with great sides and appetizers. Service was perfect.

Kilig Filipino Restaurant – Pure Comfort and Kilig! Blessed to have dinner with the kids tonight, and wow, this gem in Chinatown is exactly what we needed. The food? Unreal. The vibes? Warm and inviting. The memories? Priceless. Here’s what we tried (and loved): ⭐ SINIGANG WINGS Think crispy, tangy, sweet, and a little sticky—all in one bite. That tamarind seasoning and hot honey glaze combo is a winner. Definitely a must-order! ⭐ LUCKY ME! CHILIMANSI! Childhood nostalgia, but elevated. Wheat noodles coated in chili crisp and calamansi, with just the right balance of sweet and tangy. Bonus points for the fresh veggies. ⭐ BULALO This beef broth is pure comfort in a bowl. Rich and full of collagen, the tender beef shank and marrow pair perfectly with corn, potatoes, and charred cabbage. You’ll want to sip on every drop. ⭐ OINK OINK Adobo reimagined—creamy, spicy, and totally unexpected with that coconut-habanero twist. The pork melts in your mouth, and the baby potatoes soak up all that rich, tangy goodness. This place doesn’t just serve food—it serves kilig in every dish. Can’t wait to come back and keep building memories here!

Fantastic dinner. Was our last night in town and we needed a spot for team dinner. Following a subpar dining / service experience the night before at a different Seattle restaurant, we were looking to end the trip on a high note. This place did not disappoint!! Truly great service, food, and drink! After a lingering dinner, headed to their speakeasy style bar next door for a nightcap. Highly recommend this spot!!
