One of Seattle's best under $10 restaurants is Szechuan Noodle Bowl in Chinatown. Every afternoon, the owners and staff make fresh pork/cabbage and spinach/tofu dumplings. The dumplings are steamed rather than fried and are served with a separate dipping sauce or served in a hot and spicy sauce. The latter dish: #10 Hot and Spicy Vegetarian Dumplings is my bowl of choice.
For those who like noodles with meat, try the Beef Noodle Soup. It is served piping hot with thick noodles, clean bok choy*, and well-stewed beef. If you're with friends or are really hungry, or both, order the Green Onion Pancakes appetizer.
Szechuan Noodle Bowl has less than a dozen tables and they only accept cash, but they are as fresh as any dumpling house in Flushing, NY or even Hong Kong.
(* Other places serve bok choy with soil and insects.)

If you're looking for a hip classic hairdo, Osami's Barber Shop should be your number one choice, especially if you're an Asian guy. I've been going to Osami's for over a dozen years. Even when I lived in Los Angeles and New York, I would visit Osami's in Seattle to have my hair cut.
Osami's is first-come, first-served. Years ago, I would wait for at least two hours to get my hair cut. Nowadays, with most of Osami's original clientele passing away, there is usually a chair available immediately. If you have to wait, finger through the Japanese Manga, the daily paper, or a wide array of popular magazines.
Osami's is not just my favorite barbershop, it's one of my fav hang-outs. It's a once-a-month treat, plus around new year's, Mr. and Mrs. Osami give you a super cool retro mini desk calendar.
Oh, for the budget conscious, haircuts are only 11 bucks. Tip them well.
