Restaurants in Federal Way

“Sooooo happy to finally find an authentic Cambodian only restaurant near me! The papaya salad and skewers were amazing and beautifully plated, got my spicy fix today! Anytime I’m in Federal Way you’ll find me there!”

“This is a great place for sweets. You place your order through the kiosk and pay with a card.

There are usually a couple of employee who works there and they’re so busy - no one greets you.

Some of the cookies are pretty good and some are so-so. Lots of cream and sugar.”

“Had garlic and asian zhing wings both delicious, crunchy and not too spicy. Perfect! Will be back again to try other items, but have already found my go to wings!!!”

“My favorite seolleongtang place ever. So comforting and good. I personally love the clear noodles for good texture. Their haemul pajeon is crispy and flavorful too”

“LOVE THIS PLACE HIDDEN GEM!!! DELICIOUS”

“We went here for a birthday dinner and everything sounded good but I asked the same waitress and she said the pizza and man she wasn't lieing it was delicious”

“im vietnamese was craving viet rice dishes and been looking for a good viet restaurant. Found Pho My Chau 2; one of the most legit and best vietnamese places in fedway.”

“Shari is the best !!!! I love her service she made me feel welcomed and had a big smile . I was comfortable and. Tipped her very well. If anyone need a raise is for her compassion at work !!! Let’s Go SHARI !!!!”

“great place to workout and meet people that work out”

“Food was fantastic. Service was great ample parking. We had a smorgasbord of Korean food. I’m not gonna try to pronounce any of it. Just look at the pictures you can ask for more side dishes if need be I had the short ribs and they were excellent.”

“In my rating, this one is the best in the area. Not only good for superb taste and the quality of the traditional beef soup, but also the staff's superb service and attitude absolutely impressed an old Korean goat like me. I am very satisfied. You really should come to this restaurant!”

“awesome.. love this place.”

“We have been there a couple of times. Everything has been excellent. Prices are comparable to other sushi restaurants in the area. Our only complaint is the tea is a bit week. Still deserves 5 stars.”

“Wow Veronica was absolutely amazing! She made sure I had everything in my order and was so patient and helpful with everything else! She’s the best I love this location”

“Delicious food, great happy hour and such a nice server”

“Absolutely delicious. My first time having traditional Japanese Ramen. Huge portions, great umami flavor, affordable prices. Definitely recommend and will be back again”

“So much CHEAPER than Starbucks and so much BETTER coffee too. There’s not a lot of places that make white chocolate mocha with powder white chocolate these days but Asensio does it right. THEY’RE LEGIT!”

“Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse. My wife and I went there for lunch, and I’ll tell you what, that was the best meal I have had in a long time at a restaurant. Definitely going back again. I would invite and encourage everyone to go and visit. The Hospitality was great, good vibes. I recommend you go there. #JimmyMacsRoadhouse”

“Alexis is a great waitress the menu was good”

“I’ve coming here for many years since their grand opening. Lots of things changed as far as their menu goes, and interior is somewhat outdated, but one thing never changed is their service level. They are all very friendly and attentive at all times. I’m Korean and I’ve eating k-bbq my entire life. Meat quality is not the greatest, but with their current ayce price point, it’s more than fair. We drive 30 miles from north end just to eat here even though their Bellevue location is right next to us. To make our trip worth, we go to daebak wang Mando and little bakery located inside Hmart afterward every time. This location is my favorite spot in entire Washington state.”

“Mark was a wonderful waiter. He was super funny and exciting! It was made brothers birthday and I'm sure he made even better then it already was! I definitely recommend olive Garden.”

“So delicious, the fried pork dumplings were juicy and flavorful, the buns were king size and generously filled! Friendly service and very reasonable prices! So glad I found this place”

“My friend and I stopped at cockatoos chicken restaurant on our way home. We ordered the spiciest chicken that they had and let me say, it really does burn. We enjoyed it though along with a salad, gyozas, and our assorted basket of fried food. The prices are a bit higher then usual however this was a nice place to try out. The server did everything in a timely manner. There is a good parking area right next to the restaurant!”

“Had a great experience ordering to-go from Magic Wok. Was in town just for a quick work trip and stumbled across this place. Food was good, very hot when picked up, and tasted fresh! Great options for vegetarians, which was wonderful because that isn’t often the case. Ordered vegetarian egg flower soup, veggie spring roll, and orange tofu.”

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend”

“It was fantastic our waiter was wonderful”

“I wasnt feeling well a d had an urge for something spicy. I ordered phad thai at the spiciest and have to say that it was DELICIOUS! I usually have to add spice, but it was the perfect amount (for me, my husband not so much lol) and the flavor was AMAZING! I am definitely going to eat from here again soon!”

“Dining at maharaj was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance beautifully blends modern elegance with traditional Indian charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Each dish was a masterpiece—rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and crafted with high-quality ingredients. Standouts included the tender Butter Chicken, aromatic Biryani, and the flaky, buttery Garlic Naan. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who enhanced the meal with thoughtful recommendations. Every detail, from the presentation to the balance of flavors, reflected authenticity and culinary expertise. For an unforgettable Indian dining experience, exceeds expectations and truly deserves its five-star rating. Highly recommended!”

“Tacos never disappoint! Jalapeño+ hot sauce! My favorite, every time!”

“We spent a delightful evening eating fabulous food and conversing with very attentive and caring staff. The Punjabi fare was delicately prepared and spiced to our exact individual wishes! Just wonderful!”

“Love Del taco. Dislike how they forget food items often. Tired of paying for food we don’t receive in our orders.”

“Always a great meal with fast, professional, curteous, friendly and attentive staff. One of my favorites for lunch or bruch restaraunts. Good prices. Always a 5 Star from me.”

“Closest open food to my hotel during a recent stay. Came throigh about 11 and grabbed carne asada burritos and quesadillas for the kids and wife. I grabbed the carne asada fries. Very good food and the price was decent as well. I could finish my fries. Salsa is good, red is nice and hot. Would recommend to anyone whose in the area and not looking for asain food.”

“Writing a review for this BigFoot Java is a bit tricky as we have had some not so great experiences with some of the baristas here, but after a year of being in Puyallup then moving back, it seems the location has improved. The baristas here have been very friendly and efficient at making drinks not only look great but taste great too. They are also always so sweet to say hello and offer treats to our two dogs that are usually with us.

We love to try out their monthly special drinks but we do have our stable favorites such as the Creamsicle, which for some reason the baristas never ever get right which is super unfortunate. They give me the frostbite version every time and when I tell them the iced version, they look at me confused and try to correct me that I want the frostbite version. I truly would like this to be taught better as I haven't had that drink in forever due to this confusion. Other than that though, no other issues.”

“I've been going to this McDonald's for a very long time. Over 20+ yrs. This McDonalds is definitely one of the best branches within its area. Usually quick in and out service, and it's uncommon for them to make a mistake. If they do make a mistake, it's dealt with quickly and efficiently, without any arguments.”

“I went in at 9 o’clock at night ordered my food. There was a miscommunication about the price and what I ordered got home and realized I didn’t have everything that I thought I’d ordered went back and explained it to the manager or who I’m assuming was the manager and he took care of me without question did a great job Big thumbs up to these guys. Customer service was awesome. Definitely will be back.”

“Was there today for a meeting. The owner was super friendly. The scone was delicious and the ice water was tasty 🤭. I highly recommend this place.It has a chill vibe to just hang out and relax or just grab something to drink.”

“This is the best Thai restaurant that I have found since moving to Washington. All of the dishes I have had here have been flavorful and properly spiced. The staff is very friendly and provide great service.”

“Really nice place, first time there with my sister who I think frequently dies with their partner.
Club sandwich was amazing and nachos were amazing. Definitely going to go again.”

“Really great burger! Not like regular burgers. Fresh ingredients and bread. Unique sauce. Killer fries. highly recommended!”

“Update: since my last visit, the facilities have been updated and refreshed. Same great atmosphere, food and service!

Really fresh food, cooked to order. A little pricier than fast food, and be prepared to wait (esp. at the drivethru). Only place I've found in Federal Way that has buffalo burgers on the menu!”

“I ordered their 5 piece cod and a side of cornbread. I haven't been to an Ivar's in years, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was quiet. It was nice sitting down at a restaurant and not being bombarded by loud music. The interior is small, but the seats are still roomy. I would post a pic of my food, but I ate it.”

“Love their KBBQ & service”

“First time eating at Nami Sushi, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the small boat, which has 20 different items in the boat and 3 different kinds of rolls. We also ordered the tempura calamari and Agedashi with a side of Japanese beer (large bottle of Asahi). The wait staff are attentive and checked on us multiple times. The restaurant is clean and tables are nicely spaced apart, tables are cleaned immediately. The decor of this restaurant is pretty cool and unusual. We will definitely be back. Thanks Nami Sushi!”

“Busy, but friendly and efficient staff handled it well, so not too long waiting. Well worth it for the nice frosty coffee drinks!😀”

“Small little burger joint, but really good and surprisingly cheap. Highly recommend if your in the area

Vegetarian options: Wife had a veggie burger and she really enjoyed it”

“The food was incredible! I got the Kimchi fries with beef bolgogi. It was so good! I highly recommend this dish! You have order your food on a computer screen, which was lame and impersonal, so it looses point for service, but that's nitpicking at best. I highly recommend this place!”

“Delicious food. Pad Thai is as good as anywhere I have been. Fresh Spring were excellent too. Fantastic.”

“The grape cheese foam drink is my favorite boba drink in Federal Way, I usually hate grape flavored anything but decided to try it since I've never seen grape flavored drinks. I don't regret it, it's super yummy. My sister got the strawberry frostie with cheese foam, also a great choice!”

“Amazingly generous place. Great service regardless of dine in or take out. They took care of our order to go and blessed us with miso soup that we didn't order. Very giving restaurant. Recommend them highly. I've never had a bad meal from them. Golden Gate is one of my favorites.”

“33 years ago, my new wife introduced me to Vinces. In her previous marriage, Vinces in Renton was the family go to. One bite of Vinces pizza and I was hooked. The only negative is Vince's pizza has spoiled me to every other pizza place in the area. Vinces pizzas are Neapolitan style......much, much better (in my humble opinion) than any other pizza's. Vince's is the place our family always meets for special occasions. We have always been treated very well. My 9 year old grandson told me Vince's pepperoni pizza is his favorite.....it happens to be my favorite too. Writing this I'm starting to crave a pizza! Their other menu offerings are equally excellent. A year or so ago, we stopped for lunch. Out of the blue, I ordered one of their Italian Hero's. I will say it was the absolute BEST Sub/Hero/Grinder I had ever eaten. If you have not been to Vinces, so yourself a favor and try it. You might find you have a new favorite pizza/pasta place. A++”

“Great taste and price we paid was fair for the amount you get. Taste was amazing and great service. Also tried their dalgona iced coffee it was refreshing and I loved the cream to coffee ratio. Definitely going to return!”

“They have the best chili must say I travel from Everett Washington once a week just to get their chili is it our way but it’s well worth it and I like the bar as well”

“Very Tasty � i loved it and the employees made me feel very important �”

“buen ambiente y muy buena comida”

“really good .. quick with orders ...& good customer service”

“Great banh mi place with a good drinks selection. I've been here before and gotten several of their sandwiches but prefer their BBQ pork one! Their Vietnamese iced coffee is strong and I loved it.”

“Amazing family owned restaurant. The service here is phenomenal and so personable. The food I'd delicious and always prepared so well. This has become a favorite of mine recently. Highly recommend.”

“This is a go to place to take your family, great food, auntie has excellent customer service ,and clean atmosphere.always pleased
with the service. Thank ~you to L&L staff and management keep up the outstanding work.
The Brown's”

“my son told me to try the tonkatsu ... and he was absolutely tastier and juicier right👍👍”

“Cajun fried rice, bacon wrapped shrimp, friendly staff, (and customers😃). We will be back!”

“We were at Red Robin today for lunch with 2 birthday's in our party and we had an amazing experience. We were very happy with our waiter Zachary. He was very accommodating even if things were running a little slow. Thank you for a fantastic lunch experience Red Robin 😊 very satisfied”

“I love the shrimp tacos. Very clean and good atmosphere. Friendly service.”

“I was craving ramen today but most of them had pork or closed at 12am so this was my 4th place to look if they have soup, no pork, and noodles. It took me 30min drive and it was WORTH IT.

The food was delicious, flavorful and spicy just like how I like it. Maybe would love it more if it had more spice but I’m fine with cuz it was delicious. Usually I’m picky so I don’t eat some veggies and tofu but tell me why I ate it? It was that delicious the mushroom where crunchy, tofu flavored, shrimp was good, 🦀🦪 maybe there was octopus too? The only con for me was the noodles were kinda overcooked or maybe they were cooked while I was driving? All I know is that it was DELICIOUS. Just go order it. also the service was really nice they were cute and helpful. I ordered takeout as it was like 1:05am I believe they close 2am or 1:50am.

The only issue I had was it’s too far from me 😭thank you cheif worth the drive.”

“I go to this Jumpstart every single day and I'm always greeted with smiles and great service. I remember, after only two times coming here London already had my drink memorized and it takes only a couple minutes for me to get my espresso! I would highly encourage her supervisors to consider a raise! We need livable wages in our communities and coffee is surely one of those thing I would be happy to pay another 50¢ for if it means the lovely staff makes a better hourly wage! Thank you Jumpstart ladies for making the start to my day perfect, every time :)”

“Amazing place, highly recommend it. The staff is always nice and friendly.
I normally get the Galaxy and it's delicious.
Especially if you need energy fast they are fast with making your drinks and the quality is amazing.”

“Great place with amazing food and people that work there are always so friendly”

“The burgers are very delicious and excellent price I will return

Parking: This is where they get the licenses from

Kid-friendliness: Yeah

Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah”

“This place never disappoints! The food is always delicious and consistent, the environment is spotless, and the service is top-notch. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. I especially loved the Gangjeong with green onion and the Gamjatang, absolutely amazing! 👍”

“Came in for dinner and food and service were GREAT! Staff were very hospitable and friendly especially Tanisha! Can't wait to come back! Thanks Black Bear!”

“the best lunch I've had in a while.”

“Amazing people and amazing food!”

“The strawberry and cream cheese croffle is amazing. You can’t go wrong with either the strawberry or Oreo bingsu either. Every single macaroon is amazing and is double the filling of a regular macaroon. The flavors are fun and they all look too cute or pretty to eat. All of the signature drinks are to die for and the teas are spot on delicious!”

“Great service from the staff and the food was great. The food didn't take long and it was warm and ready to eat when I got home. They give you a buzzer which is nice so you can sit in your car while waiting when the weather isn't great.”

“My daughter and I go there and eat on Saturday's might add she loves the chicken adobo. I myself tried few dishes and tlaga masarap àng luto nla. Kudos to the chef. Very friendly rin and cashier always smiling. We will dif.go again and again.”

“Gave me the old mom and pop shop feel. The building is dated but surprisingly well maintained and clean, more so than some newer restaurants.

The food was great especially for the price. Many other places were more expensive and don't taste as good.”

“The food was amazing and I was given a really good amount for just 12 bucks. I would have attached a photo but I destroyed it before I could even think about snapping a picture lol. The guy at the counter was super friendly, and when he saw my uniform he said he would make my food asap so I would have time to eat before my break was over. They were just generally super nice and I even saw them offering free samples to people. I 100% recommend and will be returning.”

“I amazed how incredibly tasty this thick broth onnthis ramen join. Noodle like hand made quality , even i didnt see how they make it. The pork melt in the mount , ridicilously underrated. Came w fam , i am telling everyone , u dont go.to the other place ... please :) , quality broth , great quality meat

3rd visit”

“awesome and my favorite pizza”

“Had garlic and asian zhing wings both delicious, crunchy and not too spicy. Perfect! Will be back again to try other items, but have already found my go to wings!!!”

“Best pho place anywhere!!! Have never been disappointed here. There's only one thing this restaurant needs to improve on... August 20 I saw the girl with the black glasses that's usually always there snacking behind the counter and then she actually service some food to there table. This disturbs me greatly and she needs to NOT snack where customers can see her.....”

“My wife pretty much dislikes teriyaki chicken. However, in a moment of weakness, she said yes to it this time. Since we moved recently, I looked around for a well rated Teriyaki restaurant near us, and Teriyaki house came up. Well, she loved it (and so did I!) but did not care for the sauce. So next time I went in, I asked for the chicken without the sauce, just on the side. Since then, this has been the only place we go for take out. The quality of the food is the best out of all the other Teriyaki places we tried and the couple who own the place are wonderful. I would love to spend a few days in the kitchen watching how this wonderful chef makes these dishes. I've tried several of the other offerings and they are just as excellent as the teriyaki. I look forward to trying more of their fabulous offerings. Highly recommended.”

“We've been going there for at least 25 years --from when we moved to Fed Way --and the food is consistently delicious. The lady is not comfortable in English, so can come off as rude!”
