NEW OPENINGS AND RETURNS

BOCA Restobar & Grill Like List
Capitol Hill's Argentinian bar and restaurant Like List has opened a second location in the former space of Queen City Like List , the historic Belltown bar that was most recently run by Linda Derschang and closed last January. (Pre-COVID, Derschang had originally intended to replace the bar with a new concept called Seahorse Bar in April 2020, but those plans have apparently been scrapped.) Like the original location, the Belltown BOCA outpost serves grilled meats and Argentinian-inspired cocktails. The bar has been updated with new lighting and decor, and the back of the bar has been renovated, but the floors, bar structure, and booths of the over-100-year-old space remain unchanged. The spot is now open for outdoor seating and limited indoor seating, with delivery set to follow in the coming weeks.

Sushi Blossom Like List
A new delivery-only sushi concept has cropped up in Chinatown-International District's Little Saigon. Offerings include nigiri, sashimi, donburi bowls, and assorted rolls, such as the signature "Sushi Blossom Roll" (a California roll topped with seared salmon, smelt roe and green onion), as well as miso soup, edamame, seaweed salad, cucumber salad, and an inari trio. There are only four reviews on Yelp so far, but customers praise the exceedingly fresh fish and high value.

TACOntainer Like List
You've heard about a taco truck, and maybe even a taco bus Like List , but how about a taco...container? This new taco stand on Alki, which opened in January, is run out of a converted 10-foot shipping container on wheels and serves a simple menu of carne asada, chicken, and wild Pacific Northwest mushroom street tacos. Optional add-ons include truffle oil drizzles, avocados, and grilled jalapeños. According to West Seattle Blog, the container will stay in its current location for at least a month, depending on what business moves into the neighboring building, but co-owner Victor Savcenco lives nearby and plans to find another nearby Alki location if necessary.

FUTURE OPENINGS

Blotto Like List
The naturally-leavened sourdough pizza pop-up Blotto Past Event Like List , which also published a limited zine full of quarantine recipes and stories under the same name and has proved to be a hit during the pandemic, plans to move into the space vacated by the Chinese restaurant and bar Chungee's Drink 'n Eat Like List . The upcoming restaurant and corner store will open for takeout sometime this spring and will feature salads, side dishes, pantry items, beer, and wine. (The pop-up is on hiatus in the meantime.)

Seattle bagel fans can rejoice that they'll soon be able to get their hands on the Capitol Hill pop-up Loxsmith Like List 's coveted rings of dough on a daily basis.
