I also mostly eat vegetarian + chicken (other than pork in dumplings), so you’d not see popular places that are known for stuff like steak or sushi. And I am looking forward to suggestions, so tell me what you ♥️ in these cities. ## Greater Seattle Area ### Places I have been wanting to try out ![](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/chat_blue.2C7DAj___Z1EYdWV.svg) If you are located in the Seattle area and want to hit up any of these places, please ping me. I am always looking to hang out and check new places. 😊 [![Atoma](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.u4PU0VDy_Z1QPI3N.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.u4PU0VDy_Z1QPI3N.webp) Atoma [![Ta Joia, Bothell](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.B_Rl10qH_ZmUJ6L.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.B_Rl10qH_ZmUJ6L.webp) Ta Joia, Bothell [![Biang Biang Noodles](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.DFUi8G-g_65vdz.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.DFUi8G-g_65vdz.webp) Biang Biang Noodles [![Pancita](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/image.Bp4HpN0M_1IXR25.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/image.Bp4HpN0M_1IXR25.webp) Pancita [![Gold Coast Ghal](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.Cpya1K_h_1CK0W0.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.Cpya1K_h_1CK0W0.webp) [Gold Coast Ghal](https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/353029305185086/gold-coast-ghal/) [![Hamdi](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.w4myOSAz_1rvMVX.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.w4myOSAz_1rvMVX.webp) Hamdi [![Anchovies and Salt](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.DihA3fJW_Z1l7Qom.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.DihA3fJW_Z1l7Qom.webp) Anchovies and Salt [![Cheese room](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.BfROaNMd_Z21GzE0.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.BfROaNMd_Z21GzE0.webp) Cheese room [![Joule](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/image.j2goWR0k_Hpm6D.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/image.j2goWR0k_Hpm6D.webp) Joule [![Homer soft serve](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.CjVq35oU_Z2clRGr.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.CjVq35oU_Z2clRGr.webp) Homer soft serve [![Temple pastries](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.BLRJQbip_ZIN99a.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.BLRJQbip_ZIN99a.webp) Temple pastries ### Places I have been to before #### Seattle [![Ooink Ramen: everything is great here!](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.qtDdGBD3_1o3Wm0.webp)](https://mimansajaiswal.github.io/_astro/Untitled.qtDdGBD3_1o3Wm0.webp) [Ooink Ramen](https://www.ooinkramen.com/): everything is great here!
