Niko’s Gyros Beacon Hill
1636 S McClellan St | Beacon Hill | (206) 397-4986 | Mon-Sat, 12-8 pm
Nikos Gyros opened and operated out of Magnolia since 1996 – providing Seattle with authentic Greek food for 24 years. But in 2019, Chef and Owner, Alexandra Serponos, along with her son and key motivator, Niko, saw an opportunity they couldn’t pass up; They were going to open their second location in the growing and diverse neighborhood of Beacon Hill.
“My son Niko planted the seed and inspired the expansion,” says Alexandra. “After visiting the location, we both knew that it felt right.”
Nikos Gyros takes pride in their family-run business and they cherish the neighborhoods and families that continue to support them. Alexandra’s family has owned various restaurants in the past. “You could say that it’s in our blood, I personally live and breathe food, cooking, and all it encompasses from beginning to end.
Their goal is to continue to provide a quality and consistent product for a fair price, which in turn will create a positive experience of authenticity for repeat and loyal customers. After getting a year under their belts in the Beacon Hill neighborhood, Nikos Gyros joins Plate of Nations to extend their hospitality, their heritage, and their food to those loyal customers and the ones who have yet to visit.

Buddah Bruddah
2201 Rainier Ave S | Mt Baker | (206) 556-4134 | Mon-Sat 11 am – 8:15 pm, Sun 4-8:15 pm
Run by husband-and-wife duo Drea and Mark Mizer, Buddha Bruddah started out as a food truck, serving up their “Asian mixed plates” — a new spin on the traditional Hawaiian plate lunch — across the city before they outgrew the truck’s commissary kitchen and found the perfect spot on Rainier to settle down. Now, they are working on expanding to a second location in Kirkland.
In everything from its name to its mixed-plate specialties, Buddha Bruddah pays homage to Mark’s heritage and bringing together cultures through food. Half-German and half-Thai, Mark was a minority growing up in Kirkland — but he felt right at home on his frequent childhood visits to Hawaii, where the mixed plate was born out of sugarcane workers from across the world sharing their cuisines with one another. The food truck sprang from a desire to honor his mother’s history and talent: she owned one of the very first Thai restaurants in Seattle in the early 80s. Mark was planning to open a food truck with her — he’d even bought a used taco truck in Phoenix and driven it up to Seattle and begun remodeling it — when she passed away unexpectedly.
About a year after her death, Drea was laid off from her job in the mortgage industry — and that’s when the pair decided to put the food truck sitting in their driveway to use and launch Buddha Bruddah themselves. Their Asian fusion food has a heavy Thai-Hawaiian influence, and they focus on fresh ingredients, innovative approaches to cuisine, and making absolutely everything from scratch.
The Original Philly’s
3019 MLK Jr Way S | Mt Baker | (206) 723-7445 | Mon-Sat 11 am -7 pm, Sun closed
Guy, a Philadelphia native, has been the owner since 2003 along with owners Charles and Minerva Humphrie who founded and operated The Original Philly’s in 1994. He was well established in the corporate world back east when a buddy in Seattle asked him to help open a Philadelphia-style restaurant. Guy was ready for a change from the daily grind so he got on a plane and landed in Seattle not thinking he would become a restaurant owner. “I wanted to bring an authentic Philly cheesesteak to the people of the PNW and have them love it like I do.”
Guy was surprised to find out how much he enjoyed the work and that he was good at it. He found his niche in the restaurant business. It isn’t just the restaurant business that he enjoys; he is inspired by the vibrant location of Philly’s at the intersection of MLK & Rainier and the diverse clientele. “I love the diversity of the community here,” he said. His customers include Franklin high school students at lunch, light rail commuters in the evening and a loyal base of regular Philly followers. According to Guy, it’s all about being legit. “I’m from Philly and know how to make it right,” he said.
