Pink Salt Restaurant & Lounge - Seattle (WA)

4 /5 misty garcia: We tried Pink Salt for dinner, and while the service and ambiance were truly great, the food itself missed the mark for us. Both my husbands meal and mine were a bit too salty, and for the price point I expected the flavors to stand out more. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was really pleasant with a perfect noise level for conversation. Overall, it wasnt bad just not as flavorful as we hoped. Id still be open to giving it another try in the future because the service and vibe were wonderful!

5 /5 Brian Gutierrez: recently visited Peruvian Pink Salt with a Peruvian friend who knew exactly what to order—and wow, what an experience! Every dish was packed with bold, authentic flavor, but one thing stood out above all: the potatoes. I’m not even sure what they were exactly, but they were hands-down the best potatoes I’ve ever had—perfectly seasoned, rich, and completely unforgettable. The entire meal was a celebration of vibrant, comforting Peruvian cuisine. I wouldn’t have known what to pick on my own, but with the right guidance, every bite was a hit. If you’re looking for something truly unique and delicious, this place is a must-try. I’ll absolutely be coming back—and bringing more friends with me next time.

2 /5 Dire Wolf: From the dish descriptions and pics I was really excited to try this place, but the flavors, especially at this price point, were really disappointing. The 2-star rating feels a bit harsh, but it was expensive while not being very good, and the service was mid to off-putting. I just wouldn’t come back, there are so many better options around town. What was good: - The Coconut Praws (which were smol not large) were really tasty. They had a good fry, flavor, and sauce. - The Chicha Morada (a Peruvian purple corn drink) was well spiced and balanced. - The mixed drinks we had were fine, tho not memorable. Not so good: - I LOVE Peruvian chicken. There’s a local chain in NC called Alpaca that I have to actively stop myself eating at for every meal because their rotisserie chicken is the best I’ve ever had. The chicken here tho was dry and tasted closer to burnt than properly charred. - The Tallarin Con Pollo just had no flavor. That’s it. Just really disappointing and expensive. - The whipped potatoes, tho eye-catching in presentation, tasted like a random lunch for a kid. It tasted like plain mash and mayo chicken. It was not a good flavor Service: They felt understaffed and stressed, and the service we got reflected that. They weren’t attentive, and certainly didn’t make the experience feel special. The space: The bar, with the pink salt bricks, is elegant and a fitting namesake, but the ceiling looks to have fire damage and chairs were staked up in random locations. On the whole the space didn’t feel elevated, and the food wasn’t on point to make that moot.

4 /5 Frank Fonseca: Came here for Thanksgiving so that was nice they were open on the Holiday. Food was extremely delicious. I have already made a reservation Christmas Eve to bring my family. The service was good not great. Forgot our drink order. Put an appetizer on our table that we didn’t order.

5 /5 T A: This was my first introduction to Peruvian food, and I’ve since tried a couple of other places. Pink Salt is still a memorable standout, especially with how the lightness and freshness of the ceviche complemented the stronger flavors of the mains. I don’t drink much and the cocktail was well balanced for me. The portions were pretty decent too - my partner and I both leftovers we took back home. The ambiance is cute. Overall a great experience - would recommend.
