The rule of thumb if you are looking for a new lunch spot is to peek in at a mealtime. If you have the stamina for a more leisurely meal, try Maneki for Japanese, Green Leaf for Vietnamese and Henry's Taiwan for, well, Taiwanese. There is an ATM but there is a $2 fee.ĭuk Li and Seattle Deli are good grab-and-go places. Here are some of my favorites: banh mi cha (sandwich with cold cuts, $3.75), bot chien (omelette with rice flour cakes, $3.75), fresh spring rolls ($3.25), banh bo (colorful rice sponge cakes, $2.50), banh cuon (wide noodles, $3.50) and flan ($2.25). All you have to do is point, and you can never go wrong because everything there is delicious. You don't have to speak a word of Vietnamese to order at Seattle Deli - it's easy because everything's wrapped up and laying on the counter.

Let's chat about fun play areas for kids, free parking spots, the cleanest public bathrooms and of course, the best cheap eats. I've spent the past decade eating my way through the ID, half of that with a babe in tow. But to find the real treasures of Seattle's International District, follow a Chinese mom. Dancers getting off the streetcar on Jackson Street.
