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!”

“I can’t say enough about this store. I was racing to a holiday event where these cookies were going to be a headliner desert and the store was closing. These amazing women waited 10min after closing so that I could get these amazing treats. I tried tipping them, for the professionalism and over the top customer service, and they declined my offer saying; ‘there’s no need sir, we are glad you made it safely and happy we could help make your event a success.’
I don’t write reviews ever, but I had to after the way these ladies treated me.

THANK YOU Crumbl!!!!!!!!”

“Every time I go, it's so delicious, the staff is friendly, and the main dishes and side dishes are filled with sincerity, and they don't skimp on the ingredients. It's delicious and clean, so it's not a waste of money.
I was originally a clear soup fan, but when I met my husband, I started eating gomtang and seolleongtang. To be honest, I ate it without any special inspiration, and then I came across the best seolleongtang and gomtang not in Korea but in the United States..^^
This is the best restaurant for me ^^
Be sure to try it~~”

“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!!!”

“LOVE THIS PLACE HIDDEN GEM!!! DELICIOUS”

“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”

“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.”

“My Husband and i eat here nearly once every week. The owner Yoko is inviting and friendly. The food is very delicious! Itadakimasu!~ Many thanks for the wonderful meals, Always worth it! My favorites: + Pan Fried gyoza; delicious,crispy, perfect. + My husband orders the Miso soup, It's the most flavorful miso we have tried. + My husband loves the curry ramen, I always enjoy sipping some of the broth too! very flavorful and warming. (I think they used to be called I <3 Curry! So this fusion is wonderful!) + Okonomiyaki; beautiful and delicious. +Tonkatsu Curry is very delicious! i order this the most +Curry pork fried rice special over the summer is very delicious! I always ask if they'll still make it for me.(and am very grateful when they do!)”

“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.”

“awesome.. love this place.”

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

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

“Love their KBBQ & service”

“This felt very authentic and welcoming of perceived newcomers. Every server was concerned in the best ways to ensure we have an amazing experience. The food recommendations and explanations on each dish were on par. The spicy beef soup was light and had a mild to maybe medium spice depending on how sensitive you are, the beef was tender.
The ox bone broth in the traditional korean soup was so warm and cozy and milky, slowly adding salt and pepper, almost felt spiritual.The kimchi tasted very unique and almost sweet. The flavor of the radish surprised me. It was so sparkly, crunchy, with a nice spicy kick.”

“Great for a quiet evening out or a nice dinner for two. Nice view of the water in the distance. Appetizers were flavorful, although a little overcooked and slightly rubbery. The pasta was wonderful! We had the rigatoni al salmone which was amazing. The smoked salmon was delightful in the garlic cream sauce. The tiramisu made in house was the perfect desert to finish things off. Must visit this wonderful restaurant if you get the chance!”

“Great coffee at a “real“ coffee shop. The vibe is cozy and I appreciate having a place in the area where you can go and sit. They serve poverty bay coffee which is yummy, and have some pastries and breakfast sandwiches too.”

“Great food fast service good atmosphere”

“Hands down the BEST Korean fried chicken location in Washington. This is a place you quietly tell your best friends. It's a spot I go to when I want Korean fried chicken. (*and drinks of course!)

It's a stripmall situation with plenty of shared parking out front. Right on Hwy 99 it's easy to miss if you can't remember the name Cockatoo's.

The food is a selection of classic street food, like the cheese corn and dduk-bo-kki paired with fried chicken. You can choose from the mini drumbsticks, or "flats" or move to a full chicken or half of a chicken. These come with an assortment of sauces on the chicken or on the side.

Great service and friendly atmosphere. It's a great place to bring a party of friends or a fun night with a date.

Midas 5-stars for the food.
Midas 3-stars for the average dive bar feel.”

“Alexis is a great waitress the menu was good”

“This is the best korean bbq we have been to . The staff is attentive without hovering . The food is outstanding , i love the brisket my brothers Loved he potato salad .Thank you for the welcoming atmosphere .”

“Always consistently good! The waiting time wasn't bad for a Friday night, took about 10 minutes to get a table . Parking was a challenge, though . Service was top notch super friendly staff .”

“The dumplings were great. We tried the spicy cold noodles, kimchi dumplings, pork dumplings, seafood noodle soup, and pan-fried dumplings, everything was fresh and made to order, but our top pick was their kimchi dumplings.”

“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!”

“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.”

“It was fantastic our waiter was wonderful”

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend”

“Ordered the vegetarian dinner for two directly through their website. The dinner was ready for pickup promptly at the appointed time. The servings were generous. Spice levels were good. I wasn’t able to specify spice level so I anticipated blandness but was pleasantly surprised. Their daal was phenomenal. Definitely was worth more than the value paid. Will come back again”

“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!”

“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.”

“I finally got my Del Taco fix since moving to Texas. You need location there in Houston. I’m from California originally”

“Ok, I was dragged there after a long flight, into the corporate cement tunnels and boxes that comprise Federal Way and much of the once beautiful state of Washington. This place was recommended by the least seedy hotel guy; nearby, bright lights, drive through or sit down. The bean burrito was glued down with cheese. The tacos are what you want. Authentic and delicious. On a whim I asked for churros. They are A. Maz. Ing. Hot, crispy sugared outside, soft creamy inside.”

“I love this coffee stand. this is my daily place to get my coffee and the baristas are fantastic. I always get the same thing and they all know my order, they're friendly and knowledgeable and always good for a chat. They keep cool and stay friendly even when the line is wrapped around the parking lot, and they're quick and efficient when it's packed without sacrificing the good vibes.It starts my day off right every time, whether I come through at 7 am or 2 pm. thanks yall ?”

“This McDonald's has amazing employees that are very respectful to the customers coming through the drive-thru thank you keep up the great work also at this McDonald's are there onions are perfectly okay to eat!”

“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.”

“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.”

“I have passed this place daily and never thought to stop in until today. Don’t be put off by the area - inside is nice and the food is amazing

Great service and really extensive menu.

Do yourself a favor and go in. It’s a really great restaurant!”

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

“Top environment & top food & top service!!!
Everyone should try their variety beers & deserts as well!

Vegetarian options: Vegetable mixed rice, pancake w/scallions & lots of side dishes for free, even refills for free. I tried soft tofu soup w/ sea food.
Wonderful!”

“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!”

“Fresh fresh fresh! This is the best and most authentic Mexican food around! The birria is to die for. We love all the fresh vegetables. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful if you have any questions about the menu.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“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.”

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

“Love this place. Started with the military ave location for 2 decades; now live closer to Twin Lakes location off of 320th and appreciate how quick and remember my drink/food order.”

“buen ambiente y muy buena comida”

“I highly appreciate the team at JSE. They are consistently friendly, kind, and professional. I am delighted to have this excellent coffee shop as a regular stop in my neighborhood”

“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”

“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”

“Chick-fil-A has outstanding food and they give back generously into the Federal Way community. I am a regular there both in the drive thru and inside the restaurant. I suggest that you order ahead with their app to customize your meal. There are many options on the app that you may not know about. Today I added bacon to my sandwich and was surprised by the crispy quality and the good taste. You will always receive a thank you and a warm smile from their always friendly staff.”

“Delicious Ramen and dim sum”

“All the food we ordered was impeccable!strawberry banana French toast is full of flavor. The skillets are seasoned perfect and loaded. The buiscits and gravy were unique! Gravy was light and the biscuits were airy and not dry. We didn’t sit down and we got all our food to go through an app so I can’t say how the customer service is.”

“las pupusas son muy ricas”

“everything is good. get yourself s bionico”

“Almost every week we order one to two family pizzas. The prices are somewhat expensive. Because we deliver them uncooked, and secondly, we always try to be a special customer, so we expect the prices to be somewhat lower. Among other superior features, the type and quality of the food, which is very tasty and good. Wishing you more success??”

“I visited the drive-through around noon and ordered a hot latte along with a cheese danish. When I received my order, I noticed that the cheese danish was cold. Unsure if I had requested it to be warmed, I asked the barista for clarification. Her response was unexpected; she mentioned that it might be due to the packaging.

While I didn't expect a replacement, I was taken aback by her response. Having been a loyal Starbucks customer for some time, this interaction was disappointing and did not reflect the high standards associated with the brand. I hope my feedback can contribute to improving customer service in the future. Thank you.”

“Friendly staff. Ask at the front counter to use the bathroom. Awkward spot to get to so be sure to make your turn else you might be on a highway journey for a bit.”

“food was goodsrvice was good too!”

“Absolutely LOVEE this cafe and it's vibe, I love it's food very very yummy and their delicacies are so splendid I almost shed a tear at how yummy the drinks and food are and the cozy atmosphere I wish I could come here more often and indulge in their most gracious and benevolent services”

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

“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”

“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”

“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 chili rellenos were really good.”

“This is a great sports bar/restaurant. The breakfast sandwich is delicious; however, they don't open until 10:30. I'm a fan of the reuben, as well. Their chips and salsa are the best around, serving fresh, warm chips and spicy salsa. And the salads are tasty, too. Don't be discouraged if the parking lot looks full: there is a large lot for additional parking in back.”

“I finally found good Mexican food that’s authentic in federal way. I found them while it was walking with Siri and I got their tamales that are Rajas with queso OMG They were so incredibly good. I give up buying tamales quite a while ago because I couldn’t find any good ones. They have great ones and they Agua is awesome. I can’t wait to go back for a torta ahogada!! I haven’t had one since I was in GDL!! Check them out they close a little early. She said 7 PM. They are so good.!!”

“the best lunch I've had in a while.”

“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!”

“La comida extraordinaria, pero ayer en nuestra visita nos sentimos muy incomodos, deberian ser claros con sus horarios de servicio, llegamos a las 8:10 cuando indican q cierran a las 9 y solo se nos permitió pedir para llevar, sin condimentos suficientes al llegar a casa. Unos clientes antes q nosotros tuvieron q comer afuera en el frio porque tampoco se les permitió adentro. Siempre habia tenido una muy buena experiencia porque la comkda es realmente buena pero anoche si fue muy incomodo.... Cabe mencionar que salimos con nuestro pedido listo a las 8:30pm media hora antes del Cierre marcado.... Ojo ahí con la atención al público... BELLINGHAM.”

“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.”

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

“This is a very good Ivar's location. The staff were very courteous and helpful, and the food was very good. I ordered the Jumbo Prawns (shrimp) with chips/fries, they were exceptional. If you want some quick and delicious seafood, this is a great choice.”

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

“Great food and great service from Jasmine! I will return just for her service and being my/our waitress. Very outgoing and I could have talked with her instead if eating dinner. And she introduced us to her son. What a nice person!”

“The food was delicious and came out fast.. However our server Jay was quick and friendly towards us. He has been our server multiple times and never fails to make us laugh”

“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++”

“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!”

“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 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.”

“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!”

“Simple menu. I’m glad Dicks started taking card. I got a strawberry milk shake and it did not disappoint. The staff didn’t include the ketchup I paid for. Just double check you have everything (: I don’t mind plain fries. You do have to pay for ketchup.”

“So the place is pretty much clean the service is crap we came here on Valentine's Day with our whole family I've been coming here for a very long time and never really had any complaints until this evening I had a person who was serving the grill be rude to us I had the person at the front desk route to us then around 7:35 my husband was grabbing some thing to drink with his dinner and I had a waitress be rude to him and tell him that this area was closed excuse me I think it says it closes at 8:00 p.m. not 7:30 when your waitress wants to clean it never in my life have I ever been so upset I took my family and left.. rolling your eyes at customers not a good thing I was totally about to give you guys a four-star for the food the food was mediocre okay you didn't have any food after 6:00 the main attraction was supposedly gone I paid $70 for crap leftovers and I'm super pissed”

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

“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.

“It was busy and I don’t know what the food tastes like”
