Seatango/Spice Bridge — Restaurant in Tukwila

Came in on Sunday. Followed google and website which indicated open at 12. I got there and I couldn’t get in. It was locked. It took me nudging at the door for someone to let me in. Not sure why it’s closed but if it’s for a good reason, be sure to watch the door-I was this close to leaving in frustration. I ordered from the Tanzanian and Congo establishments as they were the only ones open. I feel like it’s over priced for the portions. The kuku dish from Tanzania tastes like chicken masala. I asked for rice and one chapati, but they didn’t put rice. I found out when I got home. Instead they gave me two chapati although I asked for one and rice. The chapati was too oily. I had to heat it more to get it to dry a little more.

Both establishments offered hot sauce but it was little to nothing (see pictures).

The Congo cuisine I ordered was yellow rice and chicken mayo. The yellow rice was okay, and the chicken mayo was alright as well. I’d say my favorite part of tht dish was the fried plantains. Definitely order tht, it was delicious!

All in all, quite disappointed as I heard great things about this food hall. I didn’t taste a strong distinction. With tht said I’ll stick with dishes tht taste the same and aren’t very pricey.

I am aware tht this is a great org in the way in which it helps these small businesses distribute their food to masses tht aren’t familiar with it. Thts awesome of them but they need to do better with advertising hours and managing doors. Not sure why the dishes are expensive-I might not be understanding why it’s necessary but it was too much.

Check it out and see for yourself if you have the time,...

Delighted to visit Seatango today at the new Tukwila location. We enjoyed the choripan (the bread was perfect - crispy on the top and soft inside but also sturdy enough to support the sausage inside. So good. We also had a giant basket of fries/papas fritas which we great too. We brought home an assortment of Alfajores and facturas from their generous offerings. All of their baked goods are baked fresh and the selection is vast! Six different types of Alfajores (including the standard maicena and chocolate covered with dulce de leche but featuring a cafe con leche flavor, one with cream cheese and dulce de leche filling, one with meringue and even a Cordobese with a different type of cookie and glaze). Several different facturas/pastries… stuffed with different types of fillings like pasty cream, fruit and the popular dulce de leche. They also have pastafrola, a tart with membrillo (guava paste) and some other treats. The selection is amazing and you will find yourself wanting one of everything. Lean into that and take a box of goodies home with you. We brought some pastries and some empanadas home for later. Is it later yet? 😻😹 We spent a lot of time talking to the owner, the lovely Monica. They have other Argentinian food offerings too and we can’t wait to go back and try the milanesa a caballo 🤩 Definitely recommend stopping in, whether you want a full meal or just a sweet treat. Looking forward to our...

I feel like this has some shining stars as well as disappointments. The idea and concept are spot on; you can find a bunch of flavors all in one spot. These are home style dishes that make you feel cozy.

There are two down sides to this place that could make or break it in general: First, the prices are pretty steep. These are dinner prices but without the size of dinner servings. You aren't getting the additions you would expect when you pay $20 for a plate. This isn't the case for everything; you can get small bites like samosa for $4 each. But this doesn't seem competitive with other neighborhood eats where you can get the samosa for $1.50.

Second, if you're going to say your stall is open then BE THERE. I've had to wait before and only have so much time. It's been the case where literally no one came to even take an order.

These can both be some big issues if allowed to grow. Fix them, and I would gladly move...
