“This was our first time dining in the restaurant. We had Rimini cater an event and that was fantastic, but this was another level of fun and community. The food was exceptional, the entertainment and bringing people together was so much fun. We are 30 plus year Kirkand residents and business owners and this was the most fun we’ve had downtown in a long time!”
“My girls took me to Cafe Veloce for my birthday and it was amazing! Service was great and the food was superb. I had the Dungeons pasta, yummy!!! It was my first time dinning at Cafe Veloce and will not be my last. Highly recommended.”
“My son wanted to try gyros so we got some to go, they were SO good!! The artichoke dip & pita is great too.”
“When Prometheus stole fire from the heavens to give unto man, I now believe it was for want of Wing Dome 6 alarm sauce. As merciful as it is cruel, the flavor is delivered to you with equal parts pain. Upon first bite of the backfire burger, I glimpsed the infinite. Although the flavor was tempered with a bittersweet sadness as I knew I would only have the chance to experience this for the first time but once.
Wing dome is a sacred place where us mortals can truly experience greatness if but for a fleeting moment.

“I feel like this is a must try place if you’re at all able to. It’s pricey, but seattle doesn’t have many options like it. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. We were actually more impressed with how the simpler ingredients like the vegetables shined. It’s a great experience for a very special occasion. One thing to check is if you like the flavors incorporated into the menus. There’s 4 different options but you’re likely to experience a lot of the same flavors across different menus and different dishes (ie right now peas are in season so they used those across all menus and lots of dishes were Parmesan and morel mushroom heavy). If you really dislike a certain flavor and it is heavy on all the menus maybe wait a season :) that said I loved the flavors when I went but if someone didn’t they might repeatedly be let down by the various courses. Our reservation was for an early dinner around 5 and it started out quiet and fairly empty and by the time we finished around 8 it was quite busy and a bit louder. We had a wonderful time and will be back to try another season’s menu”

“We went there today to have some great Mexican food and because my friend Sheryl was in town from Ohio. We had a great time and also had margaritas!!!”

“Update they gave me a refund even though I never asked. The customer service is always good and well done. There was a misunderstanding like I had said. I wouldn't let this I misunderstanding Let me stop coming here, and I still come here even after the incident.
The food is good. I am not gonna lie. That's why I am often getting my food here.
Thank you noon, Cafe.
After carely stating what I wanted and what they claim. The food turned out to not be what I paid for. Total around 40 for just this... after opening this order, I am definitely despointeted. This place is good and the food is good but this order with price is ridiculous. I have been honest, I am very disappointed.
This was 40 int total....! Honeste
Imagin buying a whole goat, and then you see only some parts in your order. You were told the whole goat.”
“Their drinks n pastries are unique that you won’t find it anywhere else. Definitely worth the wait!!!”
“Very fun place! Food was yummy and great service! Our waiter was a taller young man and he was very attentive and friendly, but everyone there was great! It’s all you can eat, with a limit of 2 hours which I find reasonable for all you can eat, plus everything comes out super fast so barely any wait! Lots of side options as well and they’re all great (also included in all you can eat). Also note that meat you don’t eat will cost you an extra $25 but that keeps ppl from over ordering. Sides are fine tho they can be leftover. Music was popping!! Fun time for sure”

“Anthony’s HomePort @ Kirkland made my Birthday Special. First was greeted by a wonderful staff at the check in area. Then when seated at a wonderful window view was handed a cute Birthday card. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. But the cherry on top of the experience was the sunset view we had while dinning. Thank You Anthony’s for making my Birthday Special and unforgettable!”
“Been to many Italian restaurants being Italian living in Australia and to being at Ristorante Paradiso in Kirkland Washington Seattle was the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. Service was outstanding and had the best white wine I have ever had in my life a memorable experience”
“I have visited this restaurant with my friends on Friday evening. Nice hospitality and service, should give 5 start for it. Good vegetable options were available, we tried the Paneer Hariyali(grilled and not fried) and it was very tasty; also other vegetable food was great and tasty. I also tried their Goat Biryani and found to be ok compared to other restaurant, definitely suggest to improve on Biryani taste.”
“BiBi serves authentic, affordable, and delicious Persian food all while keeping it healthy and not compromising on quality. Highly recommend!”
Takeout Restaurants
“I don’t usually eat Italian out because I feel I do a good job at home. This place is way better than I can do. The menu/ordering process is a little challenging to figure out but worth the challenge. We’ve been twice and both times excellent. The salads are great, house made mozzarella with these sweet tomatoes and a balsamic reduction - so good! Tonight I had the gluten free pasta with mushrooms and white truffle oil, fried tofu, homemade sausage and ghost pepper oil. It was so freaking good! The atmosphere is fun as well, open, vibrant colors and Italian pop music. Welcome addition to Totem Lake.”

“Create your own stir fry. I've loved every sauce I tried, but the Spicy Mongolian is the best. Food is always fantastic, staff is great and will give you the exact amount of sauce you want, or put it on the side for you. They will let you go half and half on protein without additional charge. Tables are not waited. Easy to push some tables together for larger groups. They leave out halloween candy in October, and always have self serve fortune cookies year round. They technically have a weight limit for food bowls, but I heap noodles quite high and have never been charged more than the base rate. My go to for celebratory occasions.
Vegetarian options: Create your own stir fry, with an entire bar of vegetarian options. Tofu or egg available as proteins.
Dietary restrictions: Build your own, but grilled on a large surface that all other dishes are also grilled on. High potential for cross contamination
Parking: Usually a spot or two available to park right out front
Kid-friendliness: Kid bowls available at a cheaper price point, and they'll love building their own meal and getting fortune cookies at the self serve afterwards.
Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor with no elevation changes. Decently wide walkways that are likely accommodating. Seating easy to rearrange, with open ends to situate a wheel chair at. Doors are not automatic.”
“Hands down the best Sushi I think I’ve ever had. It is always fresh, like just caught fresh. Everyone who works there is so nice and it just feels like such a nice little peaceful place to eat. I really need to dine in one of these days!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Side Hustle: Taproom & Experimental Kitchen in Kirkland is a great place to kick back and enjoy locally sourced beers, wines and food. Friendly servers and great atmosphere. Check it out!”
“I had. The tonkatsu ramen here a few years ago, I think it has changed hands since. Today I ordered the Shibu ramen (kimchi) and enjoyed it very much. The broth and kimchi were the stars of this ramen bowl. They also sell canning jars of the fresh kimchi. The ramen is definitely worth trying if you’ve not had it before.”
“Pleasantly surprised by this spot. Went in because the Mediterranean place I was going to try next door was super slow to even acknowledge me.
Friendly and chill guy, very generous amount of meat and it tasted good. I got the spicy chicken. They also have brown rice to sub and a couple Korean dishes and sides of kimchi for sale. If you’re looking for a quick and easy teriyaki spot, it’s definitely one of the better ones. I’ll be coming back for sure”
“Portions were pretty good for an average of $15. Once upon a time, teriyaki was provided in this volume for $7-$9, but at least this place didn't go with both shrink-flatiron AND inflation. They increased prices as expected, but respected reasonable portions. So many places have given in and cut both corners now.
We were happy with our meals. Chicken was flavorful and not dry or undercooked. We did ask for our meals to be well done, but we do that at all teriyaki places. They break the mold by providing cucumber salad instead of standard iceberg lettuce and dressing. I found the cucumber salad to have a bit too much vinegar for me, but my husband happy with it. I still enjoyed it as it cut the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce, which also happily wants not overly sweet.
Additional plus is they actually provide undiluted sriracha sauce. I have come across at least 3 teriyaki establishments that dilute their hot sauces with teriyaki sauce now.
To note, this place isn't necessarily a fast eat. As a to go order, it took a little over 20 min to receive or order an early Saturday evening.
Parking is limited in front, but if you don't mind parking a bit further behind the complex and a five minute walk, then there's no problem.
Space is very clean and looks like it may have been recently renovated or at least repainted. My husband said the restroom was clean.
Highly recommend.”
“Ordered the Da Vito Primo/ Parma Primo and it was really good. The sausage they used was very tasty. Their tomato sauce along with the roasted tomatoes were very tangy which helps cut through the richness of the cheese. The crust was crunchy and chewy. Will come back again. Recommended!!”
“Just had the BBQ pork belly . Everything fresh and quality of the sandwich is outstanding, served with smiles. Lovely spot for delicious Banh mi (baguette with choice of meat and toppings) for a meal. Plus they have delicious Butterfly sunset tea,Black milk tea, Thai tea and fresh smoothies … All my favorite”
“Friendly staff they are welcoming and approachable. Reasonable prices. Great atmosphere. Wine selections are amazing.”
“Good beer selection. Has good IPAs, low on bitterness, rich on flavor, somewhat hoppy, are refreshing in taste and have fruity/citrusy notes. Tried Plethora, Never Say Die, 99 Juicy and Blood Orange along with Helles Lager. Ambience is somewhat rustic and really relaxing with good music in the background. The location is within city limits too. Staff is very excellent, really hospitable, very friendly, takes time to explain, allows you to try different ones and clearly values you as a customer. Must try for so many reasons.”
Cheap Eats
“The Lamb Schwarma plate is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with a portion to generously have leftovers later! The soup that comes with their plates is comforting without being heavy, and I could eat it every day. Also, if you love garlic, their MK fries are a must buy - my friend & I shared a half order, and came nowhere close to finishing them!”
“This is hands down the best boba experience I could ask for. Their Tiger Tea is a must try! I dont live in the area but my friend took me here once, so now anytime in the area, I have to get my tiger tea! Its seriously a game changer. I can't help but finish it in under 10 minutes.”
“I love this place! From their hazy IPA to the great atmosphere, it’s our go to. The little container on the trail is my favorite next to the pea patch. We always enjoy playing corn hole and hanging out in the sun on a nice day with a good brew. The larger Chainline is nice too, perfect little place for catching a game or a stop when running errands. I love that they have dog treats and there are always pups around.”
“I have been going to this place since opening, and it will forever remain my FAVORITE bubble tea cafe. They have so many flavors for every mood you could ever be in, and are so accommodating with their ingredients. I recently moved away, and even in another city, I still talk and think about how much I miss Pochi's. When I came to visit the area again, I swear I came here 3 times in the week I stayed. Everyone here is super friendly, and their drinks are always made to the best of their abilities. Would definitely recommend trying this place out, even if you don't think it is your cup of tea.”
“Convenient to drop by and get a slice with the kid. Popular take out so it takes 40 minutes on average to get a pie ordered. So unless you call in advance to order or only want to eat the slices available, expect to wait. I've learned my lesson on the wait times and I'll only buy slices for quick eats.
Kid-friendliness: Quick for kids when they are hungry and cheese or pepperoni are their favorite by the slice. For a whole pie you can wait 30-40 minutes at dinner times”
“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.”
“Wulixiang’s zongzi is soooo yummy! You cannot find anything this good in the entire Seattle are. I like the salted egg flavor. The wonton is super delicious as well”

“Excellent food. Great service. A bit on the expensive side but great for a girls night out!”
“Macarons are a favorite food of mine. I’ve tried many macarons from many places. Those other macarons do not hold a candle to Lady Yum’s. Their macarons are actually on my top 10 list of favorite foods of all time. They make my soul happy. My husband picks me up some every time he travels to Seattle and although I miss him when he travels…I’m also kinda happy when he goes because he gets me treats from there.”
“Perfect portions for great prices! Really loves the Olympia roll, tuna Nigiri, and mango Mochi!”

“The food is consistently fresh with nice sized portions. There was plenty of everything including sauce and meat. It has become one of my mainstays for lunch and dinner. The staff is friendly and accommodating. This is the best food I have tasted in this genre. It’s a fantastic, do not miss place that you will love. From soup to plates and bowls to salads, it never disappoints. You will find yourself craving more every time.”

“Not only is the crispy rice and tuna, pork belly bun, and ramen delicious but they are also life savers. My best friend started choking and one of the employees came and gave her the Heimlich maneuver. Thank you for helping her! I tried to tip the employee and he refused. Really thank you. I know everyone’s adrenaline through the roof!”
“My first time there and I'm ready to go back for more! The people were friendly, kitchen was immaculate, and everything is made from scratch. We tried the Kofta, and Shawarma wraps, falafel, Greek fries, and a dessert and liked it all. (But just a hint - don't order your fries first because it's hard to stop eating them they are so crispy and tasty!). We will definitely go back and recommend it to others!!”
“My Father's Day Surprise was a visit to Arleana's Restaurant in Kirkland, Washington. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The food was very good, especially the jerk syrup was was delicious. And I am very picky about jerk seasoning. The Bloody Mary had a unique flavor. It was not my traditional BM. But it was surprisingly great. It's quite a drive for me. But I will return for the selection of food, drink and ambiance. This was a great dining experience.”

“Absolutely loved the food, the drinks were good (best espresso martini I've had!) The ambience,especially at night, is perfect with everyone enjoying having conversation over good food in dim lighting, and a small candle adorning the table to provide a warm and somewhat intimate vibe. The view to the water at sunset time is absolutely stunning. The servers were so sweet and attentive but not constantly looming around to ask “how's everything tasting” while you're in the middle of stuffing your face hahaha 10/10 would recommend and will definitely come again!”
“What an awesome spot!! Ducked in and had an awesome brunch while visiting friends in Kirkland. Food was amazing, the breakfast smash burger is a must! Such a cool vibe down close to the water, great place to stop in for some top notch food and creative drinks. Kids loved it too with some classics for breakfast and live sports to watch. Servers were engaged and the owners were on point with the location and layout. Our new go to when we're in town!”
“"Arth" isn't just a restaurant; it's a culinary sanctuary where flavors come alive, service is impeccable, and every moment is cherished. Celebrating our 11th anniversary there, with 20+ friends & family members, was an unforgettable experience. From the first taste to the last, each dish was a masterpiece blending tradition with innovation. The presentation was as exquisite as the taste, making every plate a work of art. The ambiance at Arth was equally enchanting. Soft lights, murmurs of conversation, and tasteful decor created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The attentive and knowledgeable staff ensured our celebration was seamless, guiding us through the menu with expertise. Hands down the best Indian restaurant in the area, our evening at Arth was nothing short of magical, a perfect blend of culinary delight, impeccable service, and cozy ambiance.”
“The place was very busy, this may cause a variety of unwanted situations some of which are caused by customers themselves. We had to wait a little over 20 minutes which is not unusual for the day and time especially when the food is reported to be very good. While we waited we checked the menu and ordered our food which came to us nice and hot and without much waiting. We found the service to be very good and the food was excellent. We had the chicken tikka massala and the mutton as our main plates and also had the fried kale "fritters" (I forgot the name) which was very tasty. Everything was good and we can say this is a great place for Indian food. Will return.”
