We are an Asian - Mexican Fusion Restaurant in the lower Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, minutes away from the Space Needle, Seattle Center and the Climate Pledge Arena. We brought the idea of infusing authentic Asian cuisine with American style Mexican cuisine to provide a one off comfort food dining experience that also offers a one of a kind craft cocktail menu.

    Good food. Restaurant was more "downscale" than we were expecting. The wine list was virtually non-existent. It was a case of expectations vs reality. It turns out that the restaurant is more of a neighborhood bar with amazingly good food. Very casual. As negative as this sounds, we'll go back. There was a friend chile tofu that was incredible. So ... as long as you are seeking asian/mexican/korean comfort food in a casual setting -- you will be happy!

    Made reservations for 4:30 before heading to the arena. We were told that our table had a 6:30 reservation so we had to be out by then. Again, we had a reservation, we weren't a walk-in. There was one server and a bartender who was on her phone most of the time. The Empress gin cocktail was very good as were the spring rolls. Service was okay. The glass noodles were overcooked but the flavor was good. The spicy pork was dry and the vegetables had a plastic after taste. We left at 5:30 and the restaurant was not very busy so it made me wonder what the fuss was about the getting out by 6:30?

    Three of us met for happy hour and had a great time. Service was prompt and attentive but not intrusive. We ordered the GF chicken wings and bulgigi fries. The wings were ultra crispy and the sauce very flavorful but the highlight was the side of pickled vegetables, which were amazing! The fries were meaty and delicious. The cocktails were wonderful and $2 off during HH, so a total bargain. The room can get a little loud, so conversation over the large table was a little tricky but not impossible - get there early before it gets too busy and it will be okay. Will definitely be back!

    The food flavor was not good. As a Korean, I love good fusion but this was not it. Most of the menu was not fusion. The off brand sriracha made everything taste terrible. And the meat flavoring was bad. I’m bummed, was hoping it was gonna be a good spot.

    Let’s just say the atmosphere seemed promising upon being seated I’m assuming what was the owner of the restaurant watch me and my party the entire time making it very uncomfortable!!! Still trying to give the restaurant a chance I ordered the fruity pebble French toast what tasted like wet bread and cereal… which I sent back and was then approached by multiple host they hope my new order of chicken and waffles will be good and they heard I didn’t like the food while at this time the owner is constantly watching us still and coming to stand behind where we were seating definitely won’t be returning!!!

    Food is great. Friendly staff. But avoid Kraken game days if you want to have a conversation. It was very noisy until the game time. Alternatively great hangout for Kraken fans...

    The restaurant was very empty and they sat us next to a couple, just a foot away. The acoustics are horrible, and we heard every word that they said. Not fun for any of us. The lychee martini had had way too much sugar on the rim, we had to wipe it off. We were going to order some food but it was not a nice place to be.

    We went to SZN with a larger group and were very disappointed. The service was slow and the server knew nothing about the menu. When the food arrived it was fine but nothing was great. Won’t be back.

    The food was good, we had a couple Korean dishes, the fried fish and a burrito along with the roasted corn guacamole. All was a good bit to spicy for my daughter who doesn't eat anything spicy. I would certainly return for another meal or just drinks but would not bring someone who has zero tolerance for spicy food. Wait staff was friendly and did a very good job.

    SZN is one of my favorite spots! Everything I've had in the menu is fantastic and the space itself is great. Unfortunately, the service is lacking. The last two times I've had the same gal who was not friendly, seemed like she wanted to be anywhere else, and had zero customer service skills. With my visits with other servers, the service was just okay. The food makes up for it, but if the service doesn't improve, I'll start finding other places to try.

    Food was ok - service wasn’t great but not terrible. Waited about 5 mins before we had our drinks taken. Food service was extremely fast but was dissatisfied with the temperature.. could be warmer especially considering how quickly it comes out from the kitchen. It felt like they were just trying to get people in and out and we didn’t feel comfortable staying for another drink. I was disappointed I didn’t like it as much as I hoped. I would maybe only come here for cocktails although they are overpriced for what you can get in the area.

    Maybe it was an off night but some food was good, some not good. The fish and chips were pretty bad - fish had a chewy texture and the breading was funky too - bad texture. My husband had a burrito which he said was good. But their GF options are not explained well and the menu is deceiving when trying to order Gluten Free.

    The drinks were very nice. All the food we ordered was all served at the same time! The appetizers were brought at the same time as the main course, we felt very rushed. The wings were tasty but very heavily breaded. I'm not sure they were freshly made as they came way too quickly. I think they are frozen, reheated and then tossed in the sauce. The pear salad was very nice.

    Concert night and they seemed short staffed a bit. I know we probably ordered the three worst apps for our dinner because it was just ok (spring rolls) to poor (brussell sprouts- way dry and overcooked). We should have known better as everyone was ordering the bulgogi fries which looked delicious. If we go back we’d order differently.

    This is our first visit back to this space since rebranding. There’s some changes to the menu that we were curious about. It’s still Mexican + Korean fusion so lots to please my husband who likes Mexican food and myself who loves Korean. The food was solid but the service was strangely rushed given how much available tables there were. We were not near closing but received our appetizer moments before our entrees.

    The wings were amazing but the other dishes were lack luster. Charged 5.50 for a Shirley Temple. The waitress ask our kids if they wanted another but failed to mention there were no free refill. We were with a big group so we didn’t even realize that had happened. We were charged $44 for sodas

    We were so excited to dine here, but were sadly disappointed. We ordered three different dishes: kimchi Mac & Cheese, chicken tacos, and fish tacos. Each of us found our dish lacking in flavor as well as soft/mushy in texture. It was a little strange in that we all found our dish very hot in a spicy sense, but quite flavorless at the same time. A mouth on fire does not necessarily mean flavorful. Our cocktails were average at best.
