Arbor Deli

I miss this place. Was the best teriyaki in the area. Please open in another location I’m having withdrawals!!!

I don’t like giving reviews like this when I haven’t fully tried the menu but I have to warn people — do not get the bento! The salad was half rotten (I’m not kidding, half of it was brown and soggy), the tempura was SO oily it was disgusting, and the egg roll tasted like it had been sitting out. The tofu was decent and that plus the rice was all I was able to eat.
I really hope the korean food is better and I hate writing a review like this without trying those dishes but the bento was so inedible and a waste of $ 10. :(

The woman at the counter was very friendly and made some great recommendations. The diverse menu has something for everyone and the food comes out extremely quickly.

Great food and generous servings! The hostesses here are super friendly, I eyed a plate of fried calamari’s coming out and the hostess ordered a serving for me for free! After we finished it, which was delicious, she asked if we’d like more! I felt like I was eating at a friend’s home and being cared for by a friend’s mom :)

This is a great place to have some simple Korean dishes! I love their Beef tofu soup! It comes with a lot of side dishes! The owner is very friendly and she sometimes offers a nice appetizer for free! Absolutely love this place

Dolsoht bibimbap in Belltown? At lunch? SOLD. Arbor Deli serves an impressive range of breakfast and lunch options — breakfast sandwiches, deli classics (tuna melt, BLT, grilled cheese, philly, reuben, burgers), teriyaki, yakisoba and a solid lineup of Korean dishes!
Was too hot when I came in, so passed over my usual soondubu for dolsoht bbm and wasn’t disappointed! Has haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) — one of my fave foods ever, kimchi jiggae, bulgogi and kalbi.
I can think about 10 different cravings Arbor Deli might fulfill — look forward to coming back!

I didn’t expect they actually serve full Korean lunch with a sufficient number of options on the menu! The soon doo bu portion is big and comes with appetizers such as kimchi, bean sprouts, pickled radish, and a small plate of fried chicken wings! I also like it that the broth is not salty. The only thing is that the beef in the broth was bit overcooked. But other than that, this is a great deli to grab a quick and delicious lunch!

A year and a half after my last review and they have remained consistent. The owners are so friendly and they are very willing to honor special requests. The food just gets better, and they keep adding new items. Fresh vegetables, nice large portions, nothing to complain about. Definitely worth a stop.

Excellent lunch stop around the corner from home. My boyfriend got a tuna melt with fries and I ordered a veggie bento box. The bento box was loaded with tempura veggies, a small green salad, and rice.

I am a regular at arbor deli and let me tell you why.
.DELICIOUS!
I work around the corner and convenient for me and the owners are so friendly. It is a Korean sister owned business and I switch from teriyaki and Korean food day by day. They have burgers as well (favorite is the chicken katzu burger) but I prefer the semi-​new Korean food! Their Kalbi short ribs and bulgogi come on a hot sizzling plate but the Kalbi short ribs alone doesn’t come in a big amount so I usually get the kimchi jjigae and short rib combo. It is to die for!
Only downside to this place is that there are too many choices and if it is super busy there might be a wait (caution to those ordering Togo and in a hurry when it is busy) like today for instance but they were so nice about it and gave me a free chocolate chip cookie while apologizing! Really recommend this place, homemade mothers Korean cooking for sure.

Amazing soup. The Korean dishes are a bit hidden on the menu but are fantastic. What an wonderful find after going to the clinic next door.

Delicious bibimbap piled high with lettuce, pickled veggies, beef, and grilled egg. Kimchee and plenty of gochujang on the side. Great takeout, very fast and friendly service. Definitely will be going back to this place for lunch.

This is a hidden Gem! The food here is all so great. It is a deli style place but with incredible Korean dishes as well as terriyaki, sandwiches, burgers, and more. I was so excited to try their Bi-​bim-​bahp and I loved it! They also have really nice soups and Korean BBQ. They finally decided to open until 8:00 for dinner — yahoo! My son can eat a hamburger and I can eat yummy Korean food — it’s so perfect! Plus, they sell home made Kimchee which is so hard to find (and their chocolate chip cookies are to die for!). I tried the new Korean down the street (Chilli and Sesame) but it wasnt half as good as this place.

I give it 5 stars for what it is – it’s certainly not a nice restaurant; rather it’s a convenient little cafeteria-​style deli. I just had a Philly cheesesteak that I thought was totally delicious. Granted, I love places like Arby’s and Taco Time, but whatever. Tasty is tasty. People are very friendly, prices are about on par with Belltown stuff.

I love this place. It’s called a deli, but its so much more than that. They have sandwiches (of course), teriyaki, Chinese specials, bi-​bim-​bap (and a bunch of other Korean selections, check their website…), burgers, hot dogs, breakfast, tons of drinks, beer (Manny’s on tap!)… the list goes on!
I’ve never had a bad meal here. Portions are solid, food is always tasty. No, its not Canlis or El Gaucho, and it’s not supposed to be. It’s a wonderful little homely shop run by some of the nicest Korean ladies ever. It’s a place where you can grab a tasty bite regardless of whether you’re in work boots, sweat pants, high heels, or an Armani suit.
So next time you’re walking by, do yourself a favor, and stop in.

The tuna melt is good. Lovely people. I eat lunch here every other week. The only complaints I have is that they need to clean the soda fountain and their condiment bottles. They are always sticky with food /​grease /​something on them? If those things are seemingly never clean then how clean is your kitchen?

Best teriyaki and yakisoba in Belltown. Also the little $ 3 breakfast burrito are a perfect start to your day (and include a free small coffee). I can’t believe this place only has 14 reviews… They have Manny’s on tap and growlers, plus a good selections of bottles too. French dip is also good! I go here at least once a week, sometimes twice a day…

Review #300 goes to Arbor Deli. I wish it was something sexier but seeing that I frequent this place at least once a week, I guess it’s fitting. As most people have said, nothing too special about this place, aside from it being efficient, friendly and clean. The fact that I usually eat lunch at my desk makes this a great place to grab a sandwich. Tuna is usually what I go for but I have on occasion grabbed the special, some gyoza, etc. The selection is wonderful. Rice, sandwiches, burgers — they truly have it all. Prices are decent, I really have no complaints. Kudos Arbor Deli.

Some places are just comfortable.
I’ve been stopping by Arbor Deli since 2007, and it hasn’t changed. There is nothing fancy here, it’s all about effeciency. You can grab an assortment of different drinks from cooler, and order a number of items from the menu.
In the morning I grab an egg and cheese croissant which fills me up nicely (oppossed to some lighter/​fancier fare you find). In the afternoon you can grab a few differnt items, including a good chicken terriyaki at a good price. Also, can’t believe this is the first place I had Sriracha sauce!
The owners are very friendly and will remember your face. Good place to grab a quick bite on a busy day.

I recently had the worst sandwich I’ve had in recent memory from the Arbor Deli.
For a «fast, cheap» place I found that it was neither fast nor cheap.
To make matters worse, I threw away most of my sandwich as it was inedible.
Never again.
