Communion R&B

Communion R&B has recently opened in Seattle. The owner and chef Kristi Brown (of That Brown Girl Cooks fame) had spent the past year feeding those in need during the pandemic while preparing at the same time for the restaurant’s grand opening, along with her son, Damon Bomar.

They are serving immensely comforting soul food influenced by Ethiopian and Vietnamese cuisine. Here you can get the cornmeal-battered catfish po’mi, a remoulade-laced po’ boy and salty, pork pate-slathered banh mi. Their lemony lentils are some of the tastiest legumes in town.
