About this business

The "13 Coins" name is of Peruvian origin. The story goes that a poor young man loved and wished to marry a wealthy girl. Her father asked what he had to offer for his daughter's hand in marriage. The young man reached into his pocket. He had only 13 coins, but assured the father he could pledge undying love, care and concern. The father was so touched, he gave his daughter's hand and "13 Coins" has come to symbolize unyielding love, care and concern.

Not for everyone... – I have been living in the Seattle area my whole life... I LOVE 13 Coins, and have since I was a little girl. It used to be the special place that my dad took me, now my husband and I have weekly dates there. It is dark, and can be busy, and not everything is great on the menu. But if you have patience, and enjoy some atmosphere, it is a great place to be. I love the Club sandwich!

A HUGE waste of time and money – My sister recommended 13 coins to me when I wanted some late night dining with my boyfriend for our 1 year anniversary. I should have gone with Denny's instead. At least you go there expecting ok service and ok prices. Here, you pay outrageous prices for horrible food. It took an hour and a half to get seated, and the front desk was completely rude, as was the service. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

I'll go back again and again and again.. – I first went to 13 Coins when I was about 13 (I'm 39 now), loved it then, love it now. I almost always get either the Chicken Parmesana or Chicken Piccata, and the zabaglioni for dessert, and it always tastes perfect. The atmosphere hasn't changed a bit since back then, which is comforting in many ways. (Annoying occasionally, too, but hey, I can deal with it.) A traditional favorite!

Great place! – After reading the "bad reviews" I was compelled to write a review of my own. 13 Coins has always been a favorite of mine and I cannot help but think that all those bad reviews must have been written by the rude, impatient, and inconsiderate patrons that arrive after 2 AM on weekends. I have never had a bad experience there with the food, service or otherwise. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the food is more consistent and well prepared than most places. For all those people who are complaining ab... read more

Boren location going downhill since sale – The following is an email I sent to 13 Coins following a disappointing visit. To date, I have received no response, to me that just reinforces their declining service. This is an update to an earlier review I posted in 2003, CS retained the old date. My latest visit was 2007. start email I've visited 13 Coins many times and always enjoyed it but last night had my first bad experience. My wife and I arrived about 10:30 PM on 12/16. 25 minute wait in the restaurant so we opted to eat ... read more

The Jeckyll and Hyde of 24hr dining – Times have changed at the Coins their wait staff finished my long time relationship as a regular known by name and hat by perpetually herding my wife and I to the counter when you request a booth. The counter is for single patrons not couples seeking a bit of sanctuary during the early hours, that is why you pay the prices you do at the Coins. The place is in the throws of an identity crisis not knowing if it should be a quiet well-mannered refuge 24 hours a day or another theme restaura... read more

"24 Hour Fading Lady" – The 13 Coins has been around on the Seattle Scene for many years. This "24 Hour" Lady needs an update. Service can have an attitude or be very pleasant. The menu is wide, and it's not Denny's pricing! The counter seats are best. It's a late night icon for Seattle. Try the Joe's Special. Don't forget the "Zab" for dessert. Not everything on the menu is wonderful or "****" but, it's two o-clock in the morning and do you want to be at Denny's at this hour? I Vote 13 Coins!

All I Can Say Is WOW! – I've been living in Seattle for four years. My new friends have been raving about "The Coins" since day one. I finally went last night and all I can say is WOW! What an incredible dining experience. I had thier chicken parm and it was to die for. Randall was my server (ask for him, he's great) and the service was first rate. I just found my new hang out!
