Reception

In 2019, it was named Eater Seattle's Restaurant of the Year. Gabe Guarente wrote, "This tiny Filipino tasting menu restaurant in Hillman City stood out for its ingenuity, storytelling, and passion." [2] Olivia Hall included the business in TimeOut Seattle's 2021 overview of the city's 21 best restaurants. [3]

In 2021, it made the New York Times America’s Favorite Restaurant List. [4]

In The Infatuation 's 2022 list of "The 25 Best Restaurants in Seattle", Aimee Rizzo called Archipelago’s 10-course dinner "a billboard for the Pacific Northwest and a meal that should be required by law for every resident". She said guests leave with "a newfound appreciation for both Filipino food and the surrounding PNW". [5]

In 2023, the restaurant earned Aaron Verzosa a James Beard Foundation Award nomination in the Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific category. [6]
