Edmonds is a fairly small city located just 30 minutes north of Seattle in Snohomish County. While it has traditionally been known for its beautiful waterfront and not much else, Edmonds has quietly become an incredibly diverse culinary destination. In fact, you probably won’t find this much of variety of tasty and diverse eateries anywhere else in the Pacific Northwest.

Edmonds is a little piece of paradise.

One of the city’s top restaurateurs, Shubert Ho, calls it the best-kept secret on the West Coast.

If you love sushi, look no further than SanKai.
