Is there a Chinese buffet in downtown Seattle?
I can’t think of a Chinese Buffet, specifically, right downtown. The closest I can think of is in Ballard, but that’s not far away and you could catch a bus from the Green Tortoise to Ballard pretty easily. There is, however, an Asian buffet called Todai, which is at the top of the Pacific Place Mall (on 6th and Pine, two blocks up from Westlake). It’s not just Chinese food, but has sushi, Korean food, and other stuff. It’s a bit pricier than your standard Chinese Buffet prices, but it’s also pretty good! If you like dive bars and even more, “punky” dive bars, the Funhouse over across the street from the Space Needle on 5th (next to McDonald’s) is a fantastic cheap bar! There’s often live shows and there’ll be a cover then, but you can escape the cover if you get there early enough. On Mondays, they have $4.00 pitchers of PBR, they have $1.50 cans of Schmidt… Cheap! I Love Sushi is just a number of blocks up from the Funhouse on 5th, headed up towards Queen Anne.
