Marination Columbia City
Marination Columbia City is a restaurant in Seattle's South End that serves Asian dishes with Hawaiian and Korean influences. The space is relaxed and welcoming with a modern, clean interior featuring casual seating, a bar, and upstairs dining areas.
The restaurant occupies the former location of Super Six, a longtime neighborhood spot that closed after years of operation. Marination took over the space as founders Kamala Saxton and Roz Edison expanded from their food truck venture that began in 2009.
The name refers to Hawaiian marinating traditions and cooking methods rooted in island flavors. The restaurant brings together people from the diverse South End neighborhood and reflects the cultural mix that defines this part of Seattle.
The location is easy to reach by public transit and sits in a walkable neighborhood, though parking is available nearby. The restaurant offers both dine-in and takeout options with weekend brunch and a rewards program, with quick service and affordable pricing throughout the menu.
The restaurant expanded to T-Mobile Park, where it serves fans during Mariners games, broadening its presence across the city. This move showed how a simple food truck concept evolved into a recognized local brand serving different neighborhoods and venues.
