“TL;DR: lines at opening. The curry is really good! Try the Kabocha Fries. On the spendy side, good date night spot.Parking: very small shared lot. Expect to street park during peak hours--you may have to walk a ways.Atmosphere: cozy diner feel with bar, bar tables, booths, dining tables. Not really accommodating for extra large parties.Service: pretty popular space so expect lines to form before opening. Wait to be seated, you will be watered, menu brought to you, check brought to you, box your own leftovers upon request.Menu: two descriptive pages with minimal images. There are different cuts of pork to choose from so read the descriptions carefully before choosing which one to go with your meal. Plates are a bit on the spendy side but it is very filling.Kid Friendliness: not very accommodating in terms of entertainment for little kids, high chairs available upon request, no kids menu.Kabocha Fries: it's pumpkin-like squash slices that are breaded, fried and seasoned. Very tasty!Katsu Curry Set: the meal set comes with shredded cabbage, miso soup, and a tiny dish of pickled veggies. Oh man the curry is really good. It's not spicy at all and the pickled veggies go really well with it! Who knew dark chocolate could add so much richness?! The cabbage that it comes with goes really well with the provided dressings on the table (I like the light brown sesame dressing best). Miso soup wasn't really anything to write home about but it is a nice palate cleanser along with the shredded cabbage.Kurobuta: tasty cut of pork that isn't chewy and is not dry at all! Excellent with the curry! Love the crunch and dipping it in curry.”
“Family date night favorite. There used to be issues with consistencies that we haven't experienced in a while - everything comes out great. Adjusting my review from 4 stars to 5 stars. Food is good, it's noisy (re:family friendly), I feel like the waitstaff have been the same for years which means they enjoy working there and that definitely plays into the overall environment. Great spot.The Rockstar is ridiculous, try that, but if you intend to go to Molly Moons for desert, only eat half, or trust me, you'll feel pretty terrible afterwards.”
“Very friendly staff and decent beer selection. This would be a good spot for the unparticular beer drinker or those who prefer things on the IPA and hazy end of the spectrum. They have food trucks and are dog friendly.”
“Yeah yeah this is an awesome place I agree. High quality food and amazing ambience. Very good thai style food, high quality vegetarian food as well. All that said, $4.50 for an extra egg? Like seriously? Last I checked inflation was 7% not 300%. For 4.5$ you can literally buy a carton of 24 eggs cage free and smash it into your noodles. Please please reconsider your pricing.”

“Great restaurant for Microsoft employees and their friends and family. The rotating menu is every month so you always get a fresh selection. Been here a bunch of times and it's always good. Sometimes their dishes aren't the best, most of the time it's good, that's why I'm giving it 4 stars.Today I had butternut squash soup, shrimp crab tamale, and pumpkin cheesecake, every dish was so good.Highly recommended especially for the price. Make sure to reserve one or two weeks in advance.Vegetarian options: Items on menu marked as vegan, they always have one entree that is vegan.”
“Top notch craft brewing at its finest!Stop in and grab a pint on date night or in between dropping the kids off at practice.I really like the in house nitro brews!Only trouble is there's currently no kitchen for hot food so you'll be stuck with eating cashews if you're hungry.”
“JJ's always has great food and drinks and the friendliest atmosphere around. From the staff who remember your name to the regulars it is a great place for a casual night out.”

“Love the ice cream. Love the local flare. Love the stickers. Love the pins. Love is Love is Love. Molly moons makes the best ice cream experience and is so worth any line any time of year. Seasonal lemon flavor is yum.”
“Great food! The extra hot sauce is excellent!Parking: Parking was easy in the middle of the afternoon. Might be a little more full during peak lunch and dinner times.”
“Great coffee, including house-made syrups and serving Olympia beans.Free drink with a bag of beans!Wait was a bit long considering the small line and 3-4 members, so I wouldn't stop by in a rush. Limited seating as well.And yes, their cappuccinos lean towards the wet side, much closer to lattes. If you'd like foam, make sure to order "dry."”
“Spark does traditional as well as inspirational pairing of pizza topping very well. The salads, appetizers and desserts are exceptional. Ask your server what to order. If you have any palate you won't be dissappointed.”
“Went back to Redmond for a work trip and made sure to stop by, and it tasted just as good as before we left in 2018. Thank you Aaron for a great night. Hope we see Zaucer Pizza in the Dallas Metroplex soon.”
“I've known Ryan, the owner, for years as YAAMS... and he's made an awesome place for coffee there in Redmond. Hires good people, makes better coffee than any place around, and carries his cool and easy vibe. Worth the drive!”
“Breh, we hit the jack pot ?My gf and I often struggle to find any late night spots, and this is easily one we will return to. Vibes, food, and service were top notch.”
“Consistent great experience. Great noodle texture, flexibility, variety (good for 7 year old and adults), and most of all, great services every time. This is one of our regulars.”
“Felt like someone's grandmother cooked me a meal .Fresh Ingredients tender chicken, lamb, and steak. Great sauces and hummus. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend ?”
“This bakery is exceptional. I only found out about it because I tried their macaroons at a cafe down south in Kent. I was in the area and decided to drop by and get myself a box of macaroons. I ended up buying a piece of cake as well. When walking in, you can tell it's not a sit down place to order and enjoy. The ladies in the back are hard at work and making a ton of desserts. I got 2 of each flavor they had from the macaroons. I've been to Paris and I didn't even like macaroons as much as I did these. That's how good they are. The inside is clean, well maintained and I loved the woman who served me. She made sure I was taken care of and helped me carry things to the car. Can't wait to be back. This is my favorite macaroon spot!”
“I have been there twice but now that my sister buys through the apps she gets different places! I like keeping things local! Toreador’s is down the street for me and it’s the bomb the food it so delicious!”
“I have visited this restaurant at Redmond location twice now. On my first visit, I was served by Mercedes, and today by Jessica. Both servers provided excellent service ??. The food was consistently delicious and met my expectations. As a vegetarian, I opted for the 'Grilled Veggie Hash' dish, which features a unique sautéed style hash brown with assorted vegetables and the option to add one egg cooked to your preference. This dish is a personal favorite of mine. The ambiance of the restaurant creates a welcoming vibe, making it a place I look forward to visiting more often. Thank you to the team for the wonderful experience.”
“About the best burrito I've had and its turbo big. That's an easy 2 meals for 10 dolla I am SCREECHIN for joy about Bandido. Mexican GF says the tacos are bonafide real top of the line they taste ”
“Stumbled across this gem walking back to the hotel. Food was excellent and paired nicely with Mango green tea. Don’t know what to order, no problem. Staff was friendly and helped me select a delicious Shoyu ramen dish with soft boiled egg and pork.”
“Lock and load coffee! After a recent first time mercury visit, I'm first time hooked and now an official fanboy! I legit walked 25 mins with my suitcase before my flight to grab a Joe from here, it's that rad. The insanely yummy scent of bold espresso when you walk in is utterly phenomenal.This location is awesome and is open early to grab a cup of joe for the start of the morning grind! Mercury's also has a killer rewards system which is dope and saves you a bang for your buck! I managed to get a free 10 dollars worth of points, yummy organic coffee at no cost, what's more to love?Holy smoke too, checkout the hella size of that cinnamon roll, next level dough'pe!!! This branch also have a super delicious range of baked goodies to devour.Support local businesses!!”
“Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We've been here in years past, but they have a nice new fresh look. I'm not sure when that was done. The chips and salsa were fresh.”
“A true five star place. Had the spicy miso ramen, so much flavor and such high quality for 20 bucks in an age when jack in the box costs 16, will definitely be back!Wheelchair accessibility: All one room with no steps and there is a bar where wheelchairs could be placed allowing you to sit alongside friends”

“Ordered the winter only lamb with Chinese herbal hot pot (羊肉爐) and steam cod with special bean sauce (豆酥鱈魚). The lamb has skin and tender all around. Very nice. Not huge amount but understantable as lamb with skin is quite expensive here. Flavour is correct. Special bean sauce add nice interesting flavour to the steam cod. Not many places has this dish. Overall, pretty good but price is definitely on higher side. Will come back for other food likely although have to order conservatively or else your wallet will be empty lol”

“exceptional service, they offered lots of suggestions on what to order and checked in on us multiple times, keeping out water and drinks topped off. the cocktails were very uniquely crafted and refreshing. all the food had great balanced flavors and was quite reasonably priced for the quality”
“I was invited out to lunch by a friend and he recommended we go to Matt's Oyster Lounge. It's located in the Redond Plaza. My friend and I walk in and are immediately greeted by the hostess and waiter(s). After being seated, my friend is friends with a chef there. We ordered the Salmon chowder which was delicious. Calamari, with roasted red peppers, absolutely delicious and King Salmon fish sandwich, which wasn't flavorful, though edible.”
“Really delicious food. The ingredients they use are well above the norm. The salmon burger had a large, thickish piece of salmon, a gorgeous bun that was tender but also held up well and the hand cut fries were some of the best we have ever had. Deeply golden brown, tender but not soggy and plenty of crispy bits. The large pretzel was good and the ahi salad was fresh and flavorful with a really nice combination of heat, spices and textures.”
“Sasha was our server and we enjoyed every second of it! Everything from his jokes to his character made our dinner that much better. Our drinks were always full and the check ups were perfect. The amazing chicken parmesan was the cherry on the top to this excellent restaurant. We will definitely be coming back for the great food and service!”
“The food was amazing to say the least and aside from that, what I really thought was great was how attentive all the staff was. I noticed how they were paying attention to every table as they passed by without stopping or interrupting conversations they payed close attention to what may or may not be needed. The food was also served quickly, much faster than I would have expected.All of it was perfect and delicious. Expensive but worth every penny.Kid-friendliness: I think it's a fine place for kids. I had all of my children and we did just fine. They do not cater to children but they have a great kids menu.”
“Excellent food and service! My favorite is the Arroz con Pollo but everything I've had is great. Salsa and refried beans with chips is top notch. Fast and frequent service. My only critique is their margaritas are just a tad on the sweet side, but not enough to make me stop drinking them!?”
“I had 3 dinners last week with my family. The taste is consistent across all three days. If you want to explore any north Indian style restaurants I would recommend this in Redmond, Kirkland, Bothell and Bellevue area. They also have a lunch menu after 3 so if you want to have a late lunch or an early dinner, you can dine here. While they have a lot of parking space, it's a busy restaurant so you may not find one. Food :4/5, Service:4/5, cleanliness: 4/5, Parking 3/5, accessibility:5/5.”
“I haven't really experienced internally the atmosphere, so I can't say, but from the outside, Why would I need to mind it if I'm not a patron? As for other patrons... All I can say is for all businesses, don't be selective and in waiting for your hidden rule of "The right to refuse service" to those so called doing wrong or that you simply don't like. Why have issues?But externally, I enjoy the overall structure, the setup, Even the bar area has a relaxed atmosphere that I don't mind at all. Employment matters are not on the table for discussion, employers also have to make compromises, directly. My survival isn't dependent on any, moreso as they are dependent on the system keeping THEM in a pseudo control.I can't really say much for the customers as most of them make me cringe, hard. And it has been a major trend amongst many asian and Euro tech workers to bully individuals into reviews when someone gets mad or likes what they read, a hand out for employment writing reviews, isn't hard. Oh wait... System says HSD are needed? Well I can go for more entertaining then.I will Only ever, when I feel like it, Review honestly to how I think and see it, I'm not being cut checks to lie, and couldn't be swayed to. So just keep it honest in dealings and business with me.Wheelchair accessibility: Smart construction is a rare sight. It wasn't long of a walk for the wheelchair ramp, as most have a trend of ridiculous lengths to keep wheelchair users away or ashamed.”
“So I wanted to try a new place for wings and I figured I’ll give this place a try ! and let me tell you these bad boys came in smoking hot and so tasty on delivery ? ... Definitely recommend the wings :) and next time I should dine in ?”
“Sunday brunch is amazing. The sausage gravy was so delicious (I’m picky about gravy) and the fried chicken was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The biscuits are perfectly buttery and not overly flaky. We tried the firebread which was really good as well. I love spicy food so it was perfect for me. The pomegranate mimosa and the perfect amount of bubbles and the perfect amount of pomegranate. Based on this experience I think we would have been happy with anything we tried here. So yum!”
“My family and I attended Fuji Steak House last Saturday night. The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Great atmosphere, great food and great entertainment for the children. We were greeted at our table by the lovely Rose who was so friendly and engaging with us for our whole visit. I would definitely recommend paying a visit to this establishment.”
“I think they were understaffed (only one person) so service was really slow. The pizza was surprisingly good (chewy crust, lots of cheese) and the one person behind the bar was nice.”
“This is a simple no-frill straight-to-the-point restaurant with very authentic Xi’an food. Way better than the typical so-called Xi’an style chain-restaurants when it comes to authenticity, serving portion, and the size of the place where a good number of customers can actually have legit tables to sit at to dine in.”

“This place is so fun!! The grounds are gorgeous and the tasting is good. You get to keep the glass as a souvenir which is fun. I went in late October and was just mesmerized by all the gold colors of their property.”
“Always an excellent dining experience. The 3 of us shared a bottle of chanti, salads are always excellent; the special seafood linguine was amazing, as were the lobster ravioli. Tiramisu a must have. Save room!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Fantastic beers and friendly staff. They had something on tap for every preference in our group. The rice lager and hefeweizen were my favorites. They had a limited edition hefe batch on tap that i ended up walking out with a growler of, very tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The seating area is small, the entry shop and counter are as well so it has the feel of a brewery that just happens to have a tasting room and that is A OK with me. DO NOT let that keep you from stopping in, the beers are worth it.”
“Family date night favorite. There used to be issues with consistencies that we haven't experienced in a while - everything comes out great. Adjusting my review from 4 stars to 5 stars.

“Very friendly staff and decent beer selection. This would be a good spot for the unparticular beer drinker or those who prefer things on the IPA and hazy end of the spectrum. They have food trucks and are dog friendly.”
“I have been going here for years, and it's a staple in my family. They seem immune to the decrease in quality -> increase in price trend that has plagued nearly every establishment since our emergence into early post-human oligarcho-technocracy. Maybe it's sentimentality but this place is consistent above all else and has never sold me a sub-par burrito.”
“I’m a cider guy. Can’t to the thick beer’s. Very nice place for a drink. Sat outside and listened to the live entertainment the Redmond mall had for everyone. Dark cherry cider is the Bomb. 5 stars.”
“The food was delicious. They also do offer table service. I accidentally poured 2 tbsp of the hottest sauce in my taco and they gave me a new one for free. The service is great and the street tacos and quesadillas are amazing.”
“Delectable, fresh-from-the-oven (they also sell frozen BTW) and consistently tasty and full of flavors! We have now tried all varieties and still could not decide which is our favorite.”
“I come her almost weekly to write. I love how they treat their regulars and I love that some of the baristas know what my usual drink is. I love the atmosphere because there are parks so it's a quiet corner with a view of trees.”
“SoulFood has the perfect vibe for everything from a quiet cuppa in the corner to a long visit with a friend or even getting a card reading to boost your life Creations! Always friendly with a groovy ambience. Coffee (or Tea!) House done right.”

“Had their concha’s, hot chocolate, and coffee at a local event. Everything was amazing, I’ve had concha’s my entire life and these are by far the best I’ve ever had. They do not skimp on quality and are by far the best. I would definitely make the hour trip to get a box of their stuff.”
“My wife and I ate here on a Sunday night. It was pretty empty (Sunday night on the Eastside...), but the food was very good, service was an interesting hybrid of ordering on your phone/tablet, but food still got brought to your table.The reason I removed one star is because I was charged for ketchup... I ordered a side of fries and when I asked for ketchup was told that it was an extra 50 cents. What the heck? Who charges for condiments?! Onion rings apparently come with your choice of a dip (ketchup), for afrre, but for fries there's no such option on the ordering app, and you have to walk to the counter to ask for ketchup, and pay for it... This is hospitality 101, and totally unacceptable. If you feel fries and ketchup should cost $4.50, then charge $4.50. Don't charge $4.00 for fries and then $.50 for ketchup. I'm glad I wasn't charged for salt.”
“Great restaurant for Microsoft employees and their friends and family. The rotating menu is every month so you always get a fresh selection. Been here a bunch of times and it's always good. Sometimes their dishes aren't the best, most of the time it's good, that's why I'm giving it 4 stars.Today I had butternut squash soup, shrimp crab tamale, and pumpkin cheesecake, every dish was so good.Highly recommended especially for the price. Make sure to reserve one or two weeks in advance.Vegetarian options: Items on menu marked as vegan, they always have one entree that is vegan.”
“Not sure why ratings are so low. This place is a hole in the wall shop that sells some Chinese cold delicacies but mainly steamed buns and soy milk. The buns are huge (like the size of an adult fist) and cheap like $3-4. Are they the best buns I've had? No but they're definitely tasty and filling. eating 1-2 will pretty much fill an average adult up and it's super affordable. We love stopping by and picking some up for a quick weekend lunch”
“Top notch craft brewing at its finest!Stop in and grab a pint on date night or in between dropping the kids off at practice.I really like the in house nitro brews!Only trouble is there's currently no kitchen for hot food so you'll be stuck with eating cashews if you're hungry.”
“My small group guys and I heard the spot got new management so we came by to check it out. And it did not disappoint! The quality of the meat and side dishes were excellent. It's nice to see a Korean bbq spot not compromise the quality of their ingredients. Also, the servers were so friendly and attentive. You don't feel nervous asking for help or service as you sometimes would at other spots. As a Korean I'd highly recommend. And don't forget to try their Gookbap!!”
“What a hidden gem! I love a good girls night out and this is just the place.(Perhaps I should not be sharing this).The warm ambiance with the fire place and chairs/couches are a very inviting.It does not have a loud club "vibe", yet you are still feeling the GNO energy.Amy, our bartender/waitress, has been amazing on multiple occasions.Attentive, kind, engaging, always anticipating our next need. She's a true gem! This place is lucky to have her.Att in customer service! Truly, not sure I've had a better bartender/server!The food is wonderful! I dream of the ahi bites!If Amy and the Ahi are there, GNO will continue!”
“Nice location with a good selection of beer ???. There is space in the back stage where you can have a party with music and dancing. Kids are allowed, they don't provide food. The bartender is super nice . We came accidentally because other breweries didn't allow kids and we had a good time. I would definitely come again.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Never fails to disappoint! Even though it doesn’t show on the menu in person, the blue raspberry Italian soda without red bull with cream and whip is so good!!”
“YumParking: There is about two handicap spots and four regular spots directly in front of the store. And behind a stretch of grass there is another twenty five spots or so.Wheelchair accessibility: Two wheelchair parking spots right next to the entrance.”
“Didn't catch her name but the lady there this morning 2/3/23 was super nice. She took time to answer a couple questions and offered to make my coffee extra hot so it didn't get cold while I shopped for a few things. It's the little things that make a big difference!”
“I didn't like the idea of paying for an unfinished pizza. Better get a frozen one from the grocery store for less. But I reconsidered in the middle of the pandemic. This was our only take out as we were able to cook it. They are super tasty and with various toppings to add. They are ready in minutes. Not to many people inside as you go in and put quickly to pick up.. But the most important part is that they were exposing their lives and continued making food for some of us. Thank you!”
“Arby's in Redmond is a reliable spot for a satisfying meal that won't break the bank. The moment you step in, the first thing that catches your attention is the cleanliness of the eating area. I appreciate a tidy space, and this Arby's certainly delivers on that front. It's always a relief to dine in a place where you feel comfortable and at ease.Let's talk about the star of the show: their roast beef sandwiches. They've nailed the art of crafting a delicious roast beef sandwich. The meat is tender, flavorful, and piled generously between the buns. It's not just about the quantity; it's the quality that stands out. The seasoning is spot on, giving each bite a delightful savory punch. The sandwiches are consistently good, which keeps me coming back whenever I'm craving a hearty, meaty meal.One thing I admire about this particular Arby's is the speed of service. Even during busy hours, they manage to keep things moving efficiently without compromising on the quality of the food. It's perfect for those lunch breaks when time is limited but hunger is not.While the menu isn't overwhelmingly extensive, they have a good variety to cater to different tastes. From classic roast beef sandwiches to more adventurous options, there's something for everyone.The parking can be tricky seeing that it is in a busy area. Especially during the lunch rush Monday-Friday.In conclusion, Arby's in Redmond is a reliable go-to for a quick, tasty meal. The cleanliness of the eating area is a big plus, and their roast beef sandwiches are consistently delicious. If you're in the mood for a satisfying sandwich that hits the spot, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.---Let me know if you need any modifications or additional details!Parking: Can be tricky to find a spot Monday-during the lunch rush.”
“Bretul was so awesome I had let her know the frustration of my last drink being overcharged and she fixed it and made my day! She has great customer service! And so friendly!”
“This was my first time there. Staff were friendly and food was good. It was also priced very fair. My only wish was there to be a kids menu, but I hear that is coming soon.”
“I used to have some bad experiences here but management and service has improved so much! Food was delicious, inside was clean, and service was very friendly. Food was amazing but 5 layer burrito was a little skimpyIts annoying that if you place a mobile order you have to tell them about it otherwise it won't get made. I had to wait for 40 minutes to get my order one time! but at the same time they ignore the front because they want you to only order from the kiosk.. I wish they would just make the mobile orders and not wait on a verbal confirmation”
“The ghost ? pepper ?️ chicken ? sandwich is ? .The loaded nacho burger ? is also pretty dang tasty ?. Their fries ? are always good too. The custom soda ? machine just puts it over the top.”
“Honestly their fries are pretty darn good. And one thing I do like about this dairy Queen location is it actually has like a full menu. There's a dairy Queen in Tacoma that only has fried foods and like no burgers but this place has a whole Shibang. Whoever is running the joint has been there for 25 years, at the point of them adding the plaque on the wall by the counter where they take your order. It's always nice to see a place where somebody who is stuck to their guns. Usually you have better service and better products at places that don't have high turnover rates among the management. But it looks like a bunch of tweens work there, but they still do good work. They're better than Burger King and taking care of their customers. A little inside joke for anybody who happens to read my reviewsVegetarian options: I think they had one option that was considered vegetarian. It's like an ice cream bar and I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure everything there is animal product. It's my favorite, but I'm trying to be clear for everybody out there who is a vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Dairy queen. Dairy. If you get explosive cuz you're lactose intolerant, they do have that full menu you can lean back on, but if your diabetic or lactose intolerant just don't come, the food is too good to resistParking: It's a corner lot that surrounded by parking spaces but it's also like situated inside of a like a strip mall or something, like the location itself isn't in a strip mall it's like the parking is for strip mall or various stores like as if it's some sort of a shopping center so there's plenty of parking even if you can't find a spot that's right outside the doors. Just looking out for that drive through that you have to cross to get in through either side of the store and you're stepping through technically the drive-thruKid-friendliness: Ice cream. Those little #@$+@&-$ scream for itWheelchair accessibility: Pretty sure you don't have to Bunny Hop your way in, you should be good. Just, don't get hit by blind drivers.”
“A grateful shout out to the employees and owner of the McDonalds on Novelty Hill Road in Redmond King County this morning who provided much needed hot coffee & breakfasts to area residents who were without power and to top it off they would not let us pay for the breakfasts. What a great gesture of kindness they shared with their community! Thank you! I'm Lovin' it!”
“Had a great lunch from Panda Express @ Factoria. Organized, friendly, and lots of good portions to choose from. They were very quick with my order which is a plus! Love love love it ?”
“As far as fast food options goes this place isn’t bad. I love their seasoned Curley fries as well as their chicken ranch Swiss burgers. Overall, this place is better as has more options than places like McDonalds or Burger King.”
“I thought the first time was a fluke – – but their chicken is "spot on" as Chef Ramsey would say!The people are very nice also. Can't wait to try their Thanksgiving turkey ”
“Ordered on the app and accidentally selected the Kirkland location. The Redmond location accommodated me by stopping me as I was walking out after I realized I made the mistake and fulfilled my order in the store. It was a bad experience I created on my own turned into a great one.”
“It has been years since I was last here because I moved out of the area. It was a Monday night and so it was surprisingly quiet with a lot of open tables. We were greeted and welcomed just after we self seated by a server delivering an order to another large table. Shortly afterwards the barkeeper came across and after handling out questions about what was on tap and took our orders. We didn't order food because we'd eaten elsewhere but their pies are excellent! We had a pleasant evening chatting and they didn't pressure us to order more than one drink each. I'm really happy to report that this pub remains a favorite!”
“We have been a big fan of Malay Satay Hut for over two decades . We used to frequent their restaurant in Seattle but now drive the extra miles to Redmond to enjoy their delicious food. Our kids love the food too and we are never disappointed in the service or the meals. We have even celebrated two milestone birthdays with them, where they provided catering and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food. Highly recommend!”

“Winter pasta was really good, will go there again to have it :)Edit: went there again and tried their superfood salad and the dessert Caramel corn crème brûlée. They were both really good.”
“They added poutine to the menu!Palmers is my absolute favorite place in Redmond. Food is always fantastic, drinks are great and the staff is always friendly and professional.”
“They were very fast, polite, and efficient. My order was on point and it definitely felt lovely for my first experience there… way better than Starbucks… must go again”
“I had such a lovely experience here! The barista was very friendly. I got lattes and they were good, too, especially for the price. Their baked goods looked good and wish I grabbed one! I plan to come back here!”
“Looks similar to StarbucksBut coffee tastes better and is not so bitterThere are indoor and outdoor seatsbut no powerThe clerk is friendly and the coffee price is very reasonable”
“This is a nice place for a good meal. The staff is nice! Their actual pantry needs to be re-stocked more frequently. They are always out of items - chocolates, chips, etc. Especially the fun items. If they kept more regular inventory and stock, this place would be reliable. Otherwise, it's hit or miss. You may get what you went there for, you might not!”
“Lock and load coffee! First time mercury visit, first time hooked and now an official fanboy! The insanely yummy scent of bold espresso when you walk in is utterly phenomenal.This location is awesome and is open early to grab a cup of joe for the start of the morning grind! Mercury's also has a killer rewards system which is dope and saves you a bang for your buck!”
“I had a wonderful experience today that I'd like to share in case you're thinking of stopping by here. Kenneth was one of the friendliest people I've ever met, he not only introduced me to the owner, but also was really fun to chat with and brought me everything super quick.The food was exceptional, portions are amazing as you can see in the picture I've got more of everything if I want it, and if you're not convinced then I don't know what else I can say.Also sorry the picture was taken halfway through because this burger was absolutely amazing.Parking: There is always an exceptional amount of parking any time I've come here. Even while writing this review.Kid-friendliness: I'm kind of a kid at heart, I can't imagine a child not loving it here. Everyone is exceptionally friendly and it's an inviting atmosphere. The menu is very broad and I can imagine no kid not finding something that they would like.Wheelchair accessibility: I do not have first hand experience; however it looks to be very easily accessible by wheelchairs. The pathways look a bit wider than other restaurants.”
“Great coffee shop with lovely people helping customers have a pleasing experience. Its my favorite go to place to refresh my mind on any day!! Another unique and awesome thing about Victors is how they encourage the local artists and help them get exposure by displaying their work. Kudos to this gesture!!!”
“Best teriyaki on the Eastside. If you prefer a balance teriyaki flavor (not super sweet) this is a great spot. Savory sauce with the right level of sweetness. Always snagging the Spicy chicken 4 stars and then an order of Asparagus veggie teriyaki.”
“BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! We had them at our backyard wedding and everyone was obsessed! They were so fast and accommodating to everyone and food was always amazing and fresh for everyone. Couldn’t recommend them more!! My guest are still messaging about how great the food truck was!”
“Ate here today. Food was delicious. Reasonable prices. Helpful staff. Highly recommend. Only thing to watch out for is construction is currently going on so there are no sidewalks and parking is limited.”
“The venue offers a spacious seating area and ample parking. The service is polite, though it lacks warmth and enthusiasm. Initially, I aimed to be understanding, acknowledging that not everyone has their best day or needs to be at their peak performance at all times. However, I believe a simple smile and greeting can significantly enhance the experience. I've decided to modify my review to more accurately reflect my feelings. We normally visit the Bellevue location, and this was my first time choosing this particular venue. Based on my experience, I will most likely be returning to Bellevue in the future.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to find and parking right in front of storefront.”
“Awesome staff. Mistakenly ordered a drink from a different store in the Starbucks app and when I arrived here and we figured out what had happened the kind barista made the drink for me anyway. Thank you!”
“I’m from Chicago and out here for work. I’ve never really been picky when it comes to coffee.. Starbucks? Gas station? Home brewed? Eh.. cups a cup.. today I stopped in Down Pour on my way to the job and I will forever be in search of a coffee like this back home. Best cup of coffee I’ve ever had.”
“I was invited out to lunch by a friend and he recommended we go to Matt's Oyster Lounge. It's located in the Redond Plaza. My friend and I walk in and are immediately greeted by the hostess and waiter(s). After being seated, my friend is friends with a chef there. We ordered the Salmon chowder which was delicious. Calamari, with roasted red peppers, absolutely delicious and King Salmon fish sandwich, which wasn't flavorful, though edible.”
“Really delicious food. The ingredients they use are well above the norm. The salmon burger had a large, thickish piece of salmon, a gorgeous bun that was tender but also held up well and the hand cut fries were some of the best we have ever had. Deeply golden brown, tender but not soggy and plenty of crispy bits. The large pretzel was good and the ahi salad was fresh and flavorful with a really nice combination of heat, spices and textures.”
“We wanted to get some lunch and bento box sounded like a great idea. After searching around Bellevue and Redmond area, we decided to try here. Honestly, we were debating between Joy box and here, and tempura on this menu convinced us. We ordered two bento boxes: 1) spicy teriyaki chicken and tempura combo A; 2) spicy beef teriyaki and tempura combo A (vegetable and shrimp tempuras). The chicken was great, but the beef was not spicy at all. We loved the tempuras, so light, crispy and tasty! Highly recommend it. We came around 12:30pm on a Saturday and the place was not busy at all, only a couple of tables were occupied. We will order take out from here again for sure. Love their tempuras. Maybe next time, we will try their rolls.”

“Great Korean BBQ. The meat quality is good and many side dishes that you can have. The service is pretty good and nice. My family really happy to have dinner in here.”
“Sasha was our server and we enjoyed every second of it! Everything from his jokes to his character made our dinner that much better. Our drinks were always full and the check ups were perfect. The amazing chicken parmesan was the cherry on the top to this excellent restaurant. We will definitely be coming back for the great food and service!”
“Gran Miscela Carmo Espresso Blend is the best blend for making espresso at home. I'm so happy I found this and will forever be a customer on a regular basis.”
“Good food, cool pub, but could use additional wait staff. Went with the family here on a Friday night at 5:30 and was able to get a booth right away. Note: Don't sit in the first booth as it's freezing in the winter with everyone coming and going. The waitress moved us to the back once another booth was open. Food was pretty quick about 15 min and tasted good. Kids had just plain burgers and fries. The fries were really delicious! The burgers were good, but would have been better if my kids ate toppings. My husband had the stilton burger which had English blue cheese, he said it was good, but not great. I guess he prefers American blue cheese. I had the sherry chicken which was great! Large portions and like true English food, lacked salt on the veggies. Once salt was added it was perfect. My 6 yr old even liked the sauce. By the time we were wrapping up, we noticed our waitress seemed a bit unhappy. Might be due to number of tables and people waiting, but it was noticeable. We had to ask for a water twice for my daughter which still took a good 8 min. The waitress also never stopped by to ask how we were doing. We had to flag her down again for the bill, which is normal for restaurants, but with a line of people waiting, you want tables to open up quickly. I'd say we'll be back, but might try during the week when it's not so busy and the waitress is friendlier. (Note: it was just one waitress that seemed a bit grumpy, everyone else was great).”
“While Google still think this place is still Hot Pot Factory, and the Chinese name is still Noodles Everyday, but neither name reflects the menu of this place at this time.There is now a big sign on the window, stating they have a Chinese lunch box for $14. They now serve this all day, every day. They do have a couple of soup noodles left on the menu, as well as some stir fried pancakes. But their main thing is now the hot food bar. You select 3 hot dishes out of the hot food bar, and the nice lady ladles them over a big plate of rice for $14.We decided to try this out for lunch today, and this is probably the best deal in the Seattle area these days for authentic Chinese lunch plates at a low price.Their hot bar food selection changes daily, but some of the things we tried were good: Garlic sauce pork, family style Fried tofu, stewed pork belly, eggplants stir fried with minced pork. They had 4 vegetarian dishes out of the 21 hot dishes you can choose from. If you go in as they open though, some of the dishes will not be available as they are still preparing fresh. If you arrive about 40 minutes after they open, the bar should be pretty much full.They also have some cold food selections including Fu Chi Fei Pian, thin sliced pork esrs, and pork head cheese. For $10, you can choose 2 items from the cold bar, and you get a nice plate of those items as appetizers.If you are in the area, and hungry for some authentic chinese food, definitely worth a visit. Your taste buds and your budget will thank you.”
“The kitchen is awesome. And not retarded over priced like most of this area. The bar staff is great, and as often as they get hit on, they are still cool... Generally, the music is solid and most of the guys we have played pool with, have been cool.”

“I had 3 dinners last week with my family. The taste is consistent across all three days. If you want to explore any north Indian style restaurants I would recommend this in Redmond, Kirkland, Bothell and Bellevue area. They also have a lunch menu after 3 so if you want to have a late lunch or an early dinner, you can dine here. While they have a lot of parking space, it's a busy restaurant so you may not find one. Food :4/5, Service:4/5, cleanliness: 4/5, Parking 3/5, accessibility:5/5.”
“After 2 years of anticipation, I'm thrilled to share the exciting news that Tropea Ristorante Italiano is back and better than ever! The new location is a beautiful testament to the unwavering support of our community, and I couldn't be happier to see this beloved restaurant thriving once again. #ItalianCuisine #Foodie The familiar aromas of Italian cuisine and the warm smiles of the staff are back, welcoming us with open arms. I'm overjoyed to know that the fantastic menu, with all its beloved classics, is once again being served with the same passion and expertise. #PastaLover #tortellinilorenzo #polloziccano #fetteciniciociara I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Francisco and his team at Tropea for their hard work and dedication. I'm looking forward to creating new memories and enjoying many more delicious meals at this wonderful establishment. Here's to a fresh start and continued success for Tropea! Thank you for bringing back one of my favorite spots. #SupportLocal #FoodiesUnite #redmondrestaurants #outofthefire #risesthephoenix”
“Every Wednesday night, they have trivia. They also have open mic comedy nights and karaoke. Many, many screens to watch the games from. The atmosphere is definitely fun. Everyone is welcomed don't get me wrong, they have their locals / regulars, but those of us visiting for the first time immediately become part of the family. The bartenders are great. Shout out to my favorite bartender, Rachel!! They have a great variety of drinks and food options. You have to try their chicken Ceasar Wrap! There is plenty of seatting, a couple of pool tables, and of course the jukebox, fun fact they have an app you can use to control the jukebox and there is plenty of parking. Highly recommend you stop by for a drink or two.”

“Spark does traditional as well as inspirational pairing of pizza topping very well. The salads, appetizers and desserts are exceptional. Ask your server what to order. If you have any palate you won't be dissappointed.”

“Stumbled across this gem walking back to the hotel. Food was excellent and paired nicely with Mango green tea. Don’t know what to order, no problem. Staff was friendly and helped me select a delicious Shoyu ramen dish with soft boiled egg and pork.”
“Breh, we hit the jack pot ?My gf and I often struggle to find any late night spots, and this is easily one we will return to. Vibes, food, and service were top notch.”
“Had the prime rib dip and baked potato absolutely delicious and our server was on pointe. First time eating there. I will definitely be back. The ambience inside is amazing as well”

“The food was amazing to say the least and aside from that, what I really thought was great was how attentive all the staff was. I noticed how they were paying attention to every table as they passed by without stopping or interrupting conversations they payed close attention to what may or may not be needed. The food was also served quickly, much faster than I would have expected.All of it was perfect and delicious. Expensive but worth every penny.Kid-friendliness: I think it's a fine place for kids. I had all of my children and we did just fine. They do not cater to children but they have a great kids menu.”
“I haven't really experienced internally the atmosphere, so I can't say, but from the outside, Why would I need to mind it if I'm not a patron? As for other patrons... All I can say is for all businesses, don't be selective and in waiting for your hidden rule of "The right to refuse service" to those so called doing wrong or that you simply don't like. Why have issues?But externally, I enjoy the overall structure, the setup, Even the bar area has a relaxed atmosphere that I don't mind at all. Employment matters are not on the table for discussion, employers also have to make compromises, directly. My survival isn't dependent on any, moreso as they are dependent on the system keeping THEM in a pseudo control.I can't really say much for the customers as most of them make me cringe, hard. And it has been a major trend amongst many asian and Euro tech workers to bully individuals into reviews when someone gets mad or likes what they read, a hand out for employment writing reviews, isn't hard. Oh wait... System says HSD are needed? Well I can go for more entertaining then.I will Only ever, when I feel like it, Review honestly to how I think and see it, I'm not being cut checks to lie, and couldn't be swayed to. So just keep it honest in dealings and business with me.Wheelchair accessibility: Smart construction is a rare sight. It wasn't long of a walk for the wheelchair ramp, as most have a trend of ridiculous lengths to keep wheelchair users away or ashamed.”
“Grabbed dinner with a close friend [to catch up] and they were adamant on this particular location- while at first I was reluctant [we both live more North and commute south to Redmond] afterwords I understood why. Everything about the experience proved to be a memorable experience [which catching up with a good friend can also contribute to]: despite having not the most ideal seats [high bar tables] due to the business at the particular time we went [~7:30 pm]; the environment, food, and service quickly quenched any distaste. I remember making a mental note of seeing how the waiters/waitresses interacted with one another in between making their rounds and how it acts as a testament of the apparent good environment- they appear to genuinely enjoy their jobs which in turn makes the experience all the more enjoyable. Long story short, I can now see why Matador is my friends' favorite restaurant!”
“So I wanted to try a new place for wings and I figured I’ll give this place a try ! and let me tell you these bad boys came in smoking hot and so tasty on delivery ? ... Definitely recommend the wings :) and next time I should dine in ?”
“This place is way different than it was a month ago. Something must have changed. I was never gonna go back after eating there last year, but I was in a bind last week and stopped in.. my experience was so much better than what it was last time.Whatever happened here has me coming back weekly.”
“Great food! The extra hot sauce is excellent!Parking: Parking was easy in the middle of the afternoon. Might be a little more full during peak lunch and dinner times.”
“We ordered Andhra fry chicken curry and malabar parota. The taste in itself was really good although the curry was very oily.We mentioned this to the server and he was kind enough to get that as a feedback and communicate that with the chef.If you are health conscious, you can mention your preferences before ordering.Otherwise it’s a good restaurant with tasty food. Would recommend.”
“Waitress was very helpful in describing things. The atmosphere inside is awesome and they have an open kitchen where you see them making the food which I think is a cool touch! The food was fantastic and reasonably priced for what you get! Definitely coming back for another date night!”
“Sunday brunch is amazing. The sausage gravy was so delicious (I’m picky about gravy) and the fried chicken was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The biscuits are perfectly buttery and not overly flaky. We tried the firebread which was really good as well. I love spicy food so it was perfect for me. The pomegranate mimosa and the perfect amount of bubbles and the perfect amount of pomegranate. Based on this experience I think we would have been happy with anything we tried here. So yum!”
“Love the ice cream. Love the local flare. Love the stickers. Love the pins. Love is Love is Love. Molly moons makes the best ice cream experience and is so worth any line any time of year. Seasonal lemon flavor is yum.”

“I went here with my husband and we split both the gilled and fried chicken sandwich. The food was very flavorful, the grilled was less spicy than the fried. Both tasted good but my favorite was the fried one because the flavor was really intense and although spicy not overwhelming. Its like a black pepper kinda hot/spice level. The worker was very friendly and attentive, the place was very clean! Because of that we definitely recommend coming here! The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because I don't like having to use a QR Code to find out how much everything is. When you already have an open menu. Or that nothing came or could come together, and that it wasn't clear what to do with your trash. That aside it was prefect! It's a little hard to spot from the road and the sign is kinda hidden but if you happen to find it please try it! Well worth the price!”
“Cute place to get your healthy drinks and snacks! So many great options to choose from, whether you want a smoothie or an açaí bowl. I got the Coffee Kickstart for myself and a dragon fruit bowl and an açaí mango bowl for the kids. They were all amazingly delicious Customer service was great and the owner even took time to greet and chat with the customers. I'm hooked and definitely coming back!”
