Restaurants in Issaquah

“We had the crab ravioli and wild boar. I have been searching for the perfect pappardelle. Found it. We were fighting over whose entree was the best! Service, atmosphere, everything was beyond amazing! We were surprised at the extremely special touches for our occasion. We had been wanting to go for so long but for us it’s a jaunt with our schedules. So we planned our whole anniversary around the Montalcino and its sister restaurant Vivi. (Separate review) The Falls and other fun things were a bonus! Definitely worth the hotel and drive! It wouldn’t let me post the pics 😢”

“Very good pho broth. Balanced profile without being excessively savory or spiced l but still flavorful. Meat portions were good. Vegetable broth was very good too and is a nice options. Vermicelli dishes are large with very good toppings. Restaurant was clean. Service was good.

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly.”

“Our family’s go-to in the Bellevue-Issaquah area.”

“Levant Café is a delightful, rustic French-Levantine-Turkish gem nestled in Issaquah’s historic Gilman Village, conveniently near I-90 for easy access.

This charming café, run by a lovely Syrian couple, exudes warm hospitality and a unique ambiance. The space features colorful couches, Turkish-inspired décor, high ceilings with skylights, an open kitchen, and cozy outdoor seating perfect for summer relaxation. It’s an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the lazy, tranquil vibes.

The menu is fully halal and offers a delightful mix of flavors. Their standout item is the Savory Shawarma Crepes, a fusion of French and Levantine cuisines.

Other options include:
French sweet Crepes
Middle Eastern Platters
Healthy Smoothies
Turkish Coffee
Baklava and Turkish Delights

Each season brings its charm here—whether it’s basking in the sun during summer or enjoying cozy vibes in winter and spring.

What I tried:

Falafel Crepe: Absolutely delicious!
Beef Crepe: Tasty but slightly dry.
Nutella Crepe: Classic and satisfying.
Green Juice: Healthy and refreshing.

Prices are on the steeper side, which brings it to a 4-star experience for me. However, the serene ambiance and unique fusion menu make this a must-visit café that’s perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. Don’t miss it!”

“Found my new go to Korean spot! Their Galbi Tang is very good especially paired with the radish kimchi. I normally don't find the banchan sets at other korean restaurants to be very good, but Danji seems to have it figured out (Especially the Kimchi). The Yangnyeom chicken is definitely up there as well in terms of flavor and crispiness.”

“Great food and wonderful staff! Definitely some of the best naan.”

The interior design of this wine bar is exceptional, historic, rustic and elegant. Featuring rotating artwork from local artists, interesting custom metal work, an exceptional wine list, full cocktail bar and a scratch kitchen.”

“For a place so far from mexico, this spot was pretty solid! We came here for a late bite after a show at the kid's stage, and were met with great food and fantastic service! It's clear that this restaurant is a great community spot, as we chatted with some of the regulars on the patio. thanks for a wonderful meal and delish margaritas!”

“Was here with my granddaughter and we both loved it!”

The eggplant dish was also a standout, tender and packed with authentic Thai spices. The location is convenient, and having free parking nearby made the visit even better. Prices are modest for the quality and portion sizes, making it a great value. If you're looking for tasty Thai food in a welcoming spot with easy access, this place is a must-try!”

“Great food & drinks!!! Staff is wonderful & atmosphere great”

“My go-to when leaving Bellevue area (when there for work) to head home (North Idaho)... because it's on the way and regardless of the time, they're open!”

“I use the app about 5 minutes before arriving in the drive thru. My food is usually ready when I arrive. My food is hot and I've already paid. This alows me to move quickly through.. provided another customer isnt ordering for their whole family the old fashioned way lol. I strongly suggest downloading and utilizing the app. You also get discounted offers and obtain rewards for free items in your account. Win win for everyone😁”

“Loved our experience here! We've been living up north (Woodinville & Bothell) for a few years, and we came to Issaquah to pick up some merchandise and decided to stop in for lunch. Worth it! We've been looking for a good Chinese restaurant and, while we haven't explored fully yet ALL the selections nearby, this one was a pleasant surprise. No-frills atmosphere gets 5 stars from me because: Who goes to a Chinese restaurant for plush accommodations? Friendly and fast staff - we will be coming back again!”

“Great food and drinks.attentive waitstaff. Amazing we will be back!”

“Great food, great service. Plenty of free parking.”

“Only thing I'll complain about, is no vegetarian kimchi*** served (no fish sauce, anchovies, squid ink) with the bbq short ribs or korean kalbi beef [exquisite job to chefs]!

Sushi, on the other spectrum- all was delicious; between my little sister (which was visiting from Montana), our mother filled up on miso soups, 2 yellowtail, 2 spider rolls of the 6 & the salad n white rice...

Hopefully, next time visiting- vegetarian Kimchi will be an option, even if $7 charge for all you can have while dining 😉 !

“Food was fantastic, waitress not so….definitely recommend the food”

“We have been customers for over a decade. Always odering the same thing: steak and meatball pho, extra meatballs, 2 orders of eggrolls, and a side of leaf lettuce. One of our favorite Pho restaurants. Service is quick and the food is delicious! Today, we were seated at the same table 7 years ago. I was still pregnant then. We also dined here with my infant daughter when she was still in her car seat carrier/basket. My parents from the Philippines also dined here when they visited us. This place holds a lot of memories for us. Will be back again and again.”

“Shane, Zoe,Riley Gabby and Nathan, Shelby. Amazing experience. Fresh food and tasty beverages. What a great environment!. Want to spend more time here. Great place for connections!”

“Nothing Bundt Cakes in Issaquah is an excellent spot for any occasion. My wife and I have picked up cakes here several times for birthdays and anniversaries, and they’ve always been a hit. The cakes are consistently delicious—moist, flavorful, and topped with their signature cream cheese frosting.

They offer a wide variety of flavors, which makes it easy to find something for everyone. The staff is friendly and helpful, making the whole process simple and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a high-quality dessert that’s both reliable and impressive, Nothing Bundt Cakes is a great choice.”

“So so good!! And good value. 3 stars was a bit too spicy for me because I’m a whimp lol. Highly recommend this place!”

“Fantastic bang for your buck, Tikka Masala in Bellevue is worth going out of your way for. They have some fantastic variety in their menu, and do chicken curries especially well. But perhaps the crown jewel of their menu is the seafood biriyani. The shrimp is amazingly flavourful and the fish practically melts in your mouth. The portions are incredibly generous for the price. I always have leftovers after every visit. There are very few Indian restaurants in Western WA that top this one.”

“A wonderful day like this make me feel stop by to get a cut of my favorite drink [Venti Starbucks Double shot (5shot of espresso ] for free � at my favorite starbuck store because I used to work there. It was feeling warm and friendly service. I got a good sample Reserve Coffee “Jamaica Blue Mountain” super awesome!! Thank you very much to “Eden” to give me try some �”

“One of my favorite Taco Times in the area. I go here to eat and relax...and maybe hide from the people at home some times. I can neither confirm nor deny that last one. It's comfy, the food is always delicious and all the staff is always super nice...and I suspect I'm not the only one hiding out in there, as I see others reading and surfing on their phones �”

“The 5 piece fish (cod) & chips is my go-to dish. I have tried it at more expensive places and places with better service. The way they prepare the fish here is just the best in my opinion. The price is still not crazy.”

“Absolutely a favorite: Awesome location and great service!Pls avoid 3pm to 4pm... it's crowed with a bunch rude and loud middle/high schoolers - they don't talk, they screams for ”

“Cheese uthappam ❤️ Ghee masala dosa is ❤️”

“So good!! Ordered a number 2 spicy garlic chicken! Awesome taste is very well balanced, not to spicy, teriyaki is not over powering very good!

You guys should definitely start serving fried rice, I loved that fried rice!”

“This Starbucks sees more than your average number of customer due to it being inside of Swedish Hospital. The staff there is extremely nice and try their hardest to keep up with the demand. I work at Swedish and get coffee every morning. These people work their tails off keeping up with demand, I'd give them more stars if could!”

The tamarind and cilantro chutneys were excellent as was the potatoes and the lentils w/crushed baked wheatballs. Breads served were papadam, hot naan and a deep fried bread (pictured on the facebook page) and all were fresh/delicious. I'm in it for the spicy food and the capsicum dish and the carrot side salad were spicy seasoned. I had chai and mango lassi, both great. The coconut creamy dessert was an excellent ending.
