Technically located in East Lake but very close to Capitol Hill. If you want good Korean BBQ in the city but find MEET (the other Korean BBQ joint recommended in my guide) too expensive, I recommend this place. They also have a great selection of non-bbq food items. Be sure to make a reservation.

Technically H mart, but it is called M2M on Capitol Hill. Not sure why because they close at 9:30 PM. It is very close to the Airbnb. Fun spot to grab Asian grocery. There is a Korean bakery inside.

Not on Capitol Hill but less than a 15-min drive away from the Airbnb. It is my favorite outdoor oyster spot in Seattle. If it’s fully booked, just show up and see if they have Adirondack chairs by the water. They usually do. A great water view! In rainy seasons, make sure you book in advance since walk-in seatings are limited.

One of the best sushi restaurants in Seattle. It offers an exquisite omakase experience ($120 when seated at a table and $140 at the sushi counter). It also offers a $48 sake pairing. Sake pairing is very generous and dangerous at the same time. :) Very close to the airbnb. Plan early and make a reservation.

Fantastic matcha and boba beverages. It is my favorite boba place in Seattle. Very close to the Airbnb. My new obsession is Brown Rice Gyokuro. I get it with matcha cream instead of cheese foam and boba. It is so good! Don't order soft serve. It is ok. :(

If you want shopping but hate malls, I recommend U village. Free parking available. You can take a Light Rail there (University of Washington station) and visit U District later for food. U District has a ton of cheap Asian food options almost as much as International District.

Take the Seattle Monorail from the Westlake Center building (400 Pine Street, 3rd Floor) to Seattle Center. It is the most fun way to visit the Space Needle IMO. The Space Needle entrance is a few yards from the monorail station.
