I had to thumbs down this video. With your very limited palate your reviews tend to be more towards your biases than the actual taste ofthe food. That's why I enjoy reviewers who are a little more adventerous and open minded.
I have to agree with you. His "palate" is extremely limited, so I don't think this is a fair review. I've never been to this restaurant, but it sounds interesting, even the name is interesting.
Born and raised before gentrification. No soul food places left Sir…but ok…. Helen’s been long gone smh. What you’re eating is the palat of gentrification in the CD….Bye….check out Soul Fusion Food Truck🥰
Lol that's y'all fault😂....y'all sold ya grandma and mamas houses and then complained about gentrification😂😂😂 lmao Seattle black folk are the funniest mfers ever when crying about gentrification
Thank you for your honest review. I completely agree. We have varying opinions and it's alright. Not all things are for everyone's palate. Please return to Seattle anytime.
Idk why they gotta act like the food is a disease and all iffy about it. If you aren’t going to like it why order half the menu? Highly opinionated as well. That bougie attitude ain’t for me hunny 😂
I lived in Seattle for over 30 years. Not the spot for soul food but multicultural food..yes! When I saw you were coming I could not wait LOL. I live in ATL now though. I have not watched but I had to get my Crown Royal on ice for this 😁
He has a Deva personality, if I behave that way in a restaurant, I would be afraid They put something in my food in Retaliation, stop saying sorry, GIRL
Seems to have already had an opinion about "Seattle Soul Food" (being that it's predominantly "pale folks") that he just couldn't bring himself to give the food it's true props. Remind me of the type of people that if they didn't create it then it's just okay. He kept saying, "if they do it like this...(his idea) then it would be perfect 😏 Cut it out! 😂
Thank you I have never seen him before and I felt as thou he comes with an additud and yes that is how I meant to spell it when you said don't let it STOP YOU TRUST IT WON'T because what you came to do really is make a SHOW NOT AN OPINION there are ways to say EVERYTHING and you just made me not TRUST YOUR VIBE!??? it made me not trust YOU the SHADE IS SOOOOOO NOT APPRECIATED
Child...this restaurant never tries to be what its not and is clear on the menu that it is soul-fusion. If everything is a comparision to Atlanta then that's the only place you should eat. I get it. I'm a reformed hater too...lol sometimes you gotta let folks live and just sit down.
Communion definitely doesn’t give black Seattle culture. I love the name though! And it’s a cute place. But I’m disappointed in that overpriced nasty food. I’m sorry. I wouldn’t even be as upset if my second experience wasn’t so bad.
As SOOOOON as that tea came out , I said the sweet tea is TOOOO LIGHT SKINNED. WHAT in the world. I doooo feel like they made this restaurant appropriately for the city they are in. It’s not for everybody but do that area/clientele it’s perfect.
Central District where you were at has been gentrified for so long, there’s no more black own restaurants with really go food anymore. Nowadays you have to know someone and they cook for you. It’s so different now born and raised there 15th in spruce
🫴🏾Thankful for and 🤤love "Communion"!! Seattle has needed this soulfully eclectic flare in this HISTORIC neighborhood for a while. More to come ❤ so come visit!
Cheese, Sauce, Sugar , Fat , Salt = Restaurants That is why you go out to. Indulge. Hence why. I am so happy so much food is available in produce. America got you all eating salt & sugar packets called meals lol
I Can’t Do Head On Shrimp & Definitely Don’t Do Eggs In Mac-n-Cheese!! I Need A Testimony Filled Gumbo Singing Lift Every Voice & Sing😂😂 I Know That’s Right. I’ll Give It A 3.5 Out Of 5
Born n raised Seattle. That communion place is nasty. Sorry not sorry. There’s no souls food restaurant here since HELENS. Period.. Lizzie Lou’s now I will be going there. I’ve heard FANTASTIC reviews from our people saying how delicious and her customer service is. Anywho, I’m surprised Darius gave communion what he scored. I thought it would’ve been less tbh. She cooks for the non cultured folks. So there’s that. Not from the soul n heart.
Same! Family house on 19th & union THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE MRS HELENS OR EVEN THOMPSONS POINT OF VIEW. white people like communion not those who grew up in the CD
@@bigagp1 same! Mrs. Helens Soul Food was a staple!! My great gma would take me there as a child one of the few places we would go and it was walking distance. She was supposed to get a spot on 23rd & union and idk why it didnt happen. Sometimes they do pop ups!
Why you would go to a gentrified area to have soul food is beyond me. I live here in the Puget Sound area. Not sure why you didn’t do your research and actually hit up the real soul food restaurants down south. Maybe next time. 🤦🏽♀️
You were bout to hit ole girl in the face in the beginning of video she was and ducked it. You got mad from her response and attitude, but you still should have apologized
I hope the owner sees this and is HUMBLED. Some tweaks and better cooks who can spice food could improve this place! Better customer service too. Food is WAY too spicy but has no actual flavor. Tastes like somebody just dumped salt and random spices on everything.
I was going to subscribe but his vibe is really offsetting. And he always seems to have something negative to say and has to include I’m from Chicago as an excuse for being so negative. But I wish him success. He’s just not for me.
I lived in Seattle for 5 yrs and they have EXCELLENT foreign food, but really BAD soul food. But, you can't tell the locals that lol... Bc honestly, the blacks really aren't black up there, if that makes sense😔🤫 which makes sense as to why they can't cook basic black meals, like how they glorify Ezell's chicken=hell to the naw! Like its Popeyes or something. That chicken is equivalent to dang near Boston Market and they be hyping it up like it's your grandma's chicken from the '80s/'90s 👀🤔 HELL to the NAW!
@babymonster206 you must be an Ezell loving 🥷🏽🤦🏽♀️ ... chicken with no seasoning or flavor, think they the chicken god 🤣💀🤣. Babymonster, travel more 🤣🤡
He makes remarks like I'm#Black I don't eat that or I'm from #Chicago we don't eat that well I'm #Black from #NYC and we eat all kinds of foods he's a real turn off with his remarks very #unlikable Ijs

That place is overloaded with happy people, that's what I look for. Most definitely not Darius' opinion 😂

I came from Louisiana and Helens was it
Thank you for your honest review. I completely agree. We have varying opinions and it's alright.
Not all things are for everyone's palate. Please return to Seattle anytime.
Darius I can't with you for real! You need a gumbo that has a testimony and that can sing Lift Every Voice.😂😂😂 It's too early man.
Idk why they gotta act like the food is a disease and all iffy about it. If you aren’t going to like it why order half the menu? Highly opinionated as well. That bougie attitude ain’t for me hunny 😂
One orders half the menu, especially a good critic, in hopes that at least one item is edible/palatable
I lived in Seattle for over 30 years. Not the spot for soul food but multicultural food..yes! When I saw you were coming I could not wait LOL. I live in ATL now though. I have not watched but I had to get my Crown Royal on ice for this 😁

No matter how good the food is, Darius is always going to try and find something negative to say! 😂
You are so rite. And the crazy part is all of his food business failed. Go figure

Darius: Me and my couple of million followers came over here 🙄 Laughing 🤦🏾♀️
😂😂 Girl!
I feel you on the food Playa but those waitresses were fly 🤠👍🏾✌🏾
Cameraman understood the assignment 😂
They didn't have the right, should I say STUFF! Darius likes. 😂
Dis 🥷🏽eats nothing but mayonnaise and fried chicken yet he calls himself self a chef . Fooh
Exactly 💯💯💯
You hit it right on the nose
Every banh mi has pate on it unless you ask for them not to add it. 🤦🏽♀️
Yeah Seattle is good for multicultural food but not soul food tbh We have people here who can cook but they aren’t in most restaurants in Seattle.
Communion definitely doesn’t give black Seattle culture. I love the name though! And it’s a cute place. But I’m disappointed in that overpriced nasty food. I’m sorry. I wouldn’t even be as upset if my second experience wasn’t so bad.
My first time here in Seattle and Googles' list of soul food pops up was Jackson's Catfish Corner..needless to say I got a refund!!
Seattle has a great food scene, but not black. Lived there 8 years, kingfish was the last of its kind.
👁 👁
👄 The decor is nice😜
Good morning, native Chicagoan now living in Seattle! Excited for this episode.
Funny but soo true
What couple million followers 😂😂
As SOOOOON as that tea came out , I said the sweet tea is TOOOO LIGHT SKINNED. WHAT in the world.
I doooo feel like they made this restaurant appropriately for the city they are in. It’s not for everybody but do that area/clientele it’s perfect.

I live in Washington we are RISING 🎉 SOOO THANKS FOR YOUR THOUGHTS 😮??
Cheese, Sauce, Sugar , Fat , Salt = Restaurants
That is why you go out to. Indulge.
Hence why. I am so happy so much food is available in produce. America got you all eating salt & sugar packets called meals lol
I'm the house, not in the field . I felt that
I live in Seattle an heard nothing but bad things about that place and nanas is nasty an overpriced
Don’t know how Nana’s is still in business 😮
We are so damn sophisticated and lively here in Seattle. It's so cosmic!
What's the name of restaurant?
That gumbo description 😂😂😂❤❤
Gentrified Gumbo!! 😂
Welcome to Seattle, DARIUS!🥳🥳🥳
It's cold AF. Pure misery!
Gotta love his honesty ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why do people from Chicago, and New York always want you to know like you care. When you look for negatives, you will always find them.
Not him asking if they deveined their shrimp 😅
He needs to check out Tacoma. They have a few more Soul Food restaurants.
You’re the spoiled brat I inspire to be 😩😩❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your reviews!
Let's go.... Good Morning 😊
Next time u come back to Seattle, go to a place called Classic Eats
U definitely gonna let us know if it's slop r good😆😆
I Can’t Do Head On Shrimp & Definitely Don’t Do Eggs In Mac-n-Cheese!! I Need A Testimony Filled Gumbo Singing Lift Every Voice & Sing😂😂 I Know That’s Right. I’ll Give It A 3.5 Out Of 5

He should have made a list of black seattlites homes to visit if he wanted some bomb soul food / seattle fusion lol
Damn I really miss Helen’s. That was real soul food!

I heard they had great food.
It was on this day….. Cory was hungry! 😂😂😂 He had his own scene
😂 He is right it's not good. Catfish corner is wayyyy better. Even Portland has better options with better pricing🛣🤗
Catfish is mediocre at Best
Agreed
So the chefs haven't been through enough shit to cook gumbo? I don't know what to say...
New to the channel and fell in luv with Darius he is honest and REAL❤❤

Maybe I’ll give this place a 3rd shot and try the greens since he said they were good. MAYBE.
You sat there so long I guess it gave a “cruise vibe” and you didn’t mention the cocktails (wink)
Should have went to Island Soul
OK Kansas City I see you out in Seattle. Congratulations on your restaurant.
Heard you’re still KC ghetto. So sad
Wow if the rice is overly seasoned that’s bad…cause he love a seasoned dish 😅
I hope the owner sees this and is HUMBLED. Some tweaks and better cooks who can spice food could improve this place! Better customer service too. Food is WAY too spicy but has no actual flavor. Tastes like somebody just dumped salt and random spices on everything.
Heard she will not be humbled at all cause she’s ego centric
Agreed

How come the bartender don't leave the paper on top of the straw? Who wants to drink from a straw from someone's dirt fingers?
Why do she have a coat on 😂I can’t do the head on my food either lol I don’t think that’s weird 😂
Lift every voice and sing!😂

CAPS-OLD AGE/EYESIGHT

He so fake and corny
Good morning! People can say what they want about you. But what they can't do is say you don't know your Shit. By far the REALEST
Please fine you another lob...like go back to your kitchen...
