Reception
''
Thrillist'' says the deli is "revered by locals for its speedy service even during peak lunch hours, and for the affordable price point -- a bargain, considering that everything at Michou is made from scratch with locally-sourced ingredients".
The website's Bradley Foster included the roasted chicken sandwich in a 2016 list of "The Absolute Best Seattle Sandwiches for Under $7".
''Seattle Metropolitan'' has said: "This case of thoughtful sandwiches (crispy chicken, beef poblano, brie with two types of tomatoes) pressed on order until warm and toasty. Better yet, order just half a sandwich and round out lunch via the endless parade of salads by the pound. A proper meal can run you less than $10, even with dessert." The magazine included Michou in a 2018 list of 14 "classic" restaurants at Pike Place Market and said: "What it can lack in consistency (a lukewarm panini, its cheese merely wilted) Michou Deli makes up in sheer, eclectic breadth... It's not the best food in the market, but at $4 for a satisfying half sandwich, it's some of most accessible."
Sonja Groset included Michou in ''
Eater Seattle'' 2015 "guide to the best cheap eats" at Pike Place Market. Christina Ausley included the deli in the ''
Seattle Post-Intelligencer'' 2020 list of "8 amazing and hot lunch spots around downtown Seattle for less than $8".
