Nestled between Pioneer Square and the Central District, the Chinatown-International District or "The I.D." (as locals say) is a richly historic neighborhood with gems both culinary and cultural around just about every corner. Its three distinct neighborhoods of Chinatown, Japantown and Little Saigon comprise the center of Seattle's Asian American community. While many only venture in on weekends for late-night karaoke or recovery dim sum, it has a ton to offer all week long if you're curious enough to find it.
Google searching Saigon Deli is worthless since there are about 6 other places with a similar name. This hard to find hole-in-the-wall is a local favorite for $3 banh mi. Do yourself a favor and check the fridge in back, you'll thank us when you find Capri Suns sold by the single.
