“They have some authentic regional Chinese dishes and appetizers that you cannot find elsewhere (brain, liver, blood). The soup was extra spicy and oily (pro or con depending on you). Ordering is all done through iPad. No sauce bar. Recommend the dragonfruit paste fish cake. A bit pricey for the portion size“
“We went for an early dinner on Saturday after seeing a movie. I got the March special - Langostino pasta and my mom got the seafood chowder and scallop risotto. We each got a drink - I got the ginny hendricks and a huckleberry martini. For dessert we had the creme brulee and chocolate souffle to go.Food: chowder was delicious - flavorful and good sized chunks of all the seafood. Risotto and pasta were absolutely to die for - lots of lobster in mine and four HUGE scallops in my mom's. The sauces were so creamy and flavorful. Both desserts were tasty as well, even after being transported home! The white chocolate ice cream with the souffle was my favorite, but the amaretto flavor in the creme brulee was also noteworthy.Drinks: both of mine were really good and stiff! There were some cucumber seeds in the ginny hendricks, which were annoying but not terrible.Service: we had Preston, who was very prompt, helpful (we had trouble choosing between the prime rib, the stroganoff, and the dishes we ended up getting. I hadn't even noticed the specials until he mentioned them!) and overall a great server!“
“The food here is great, they're consistently good. Closer to my place, so it is convenient. The 4-star is for the service, whenever we place a to go order, even if they say 30 minute for the order to be ready, it had never been ready in that time frame.“
“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.“
“Visited Arleana's when they opened and thought the food was mediocre. Under Executive Chef Jacob Howell, the food is SUPERB! Visited for dinner on Tuesday and returned for brunch yesterday. Both meals were sooooo tasty! The salmon for the brown-stewed dinner dish was cooked perfectly; the chicken and biscuit at brunch was a treat for my taste buds! I am not a fan of pimento cheese, but I would happily have that spread on ANYTHING. The Brussels sprouts we ordered were so good, I asked for some to go and they heated up nicely in my air fryer. If you've visited before - give it another try - you WILL NOT be disappointed!!!!!“
“My partner and I have been to Amarone a few times, and we have always been blown away by the quality of the food. Top notch Italian cuisine, hitting the perfect note of refinement without being pretentious. Just stellar. Last time we were there we enjoyed short rib raviolis and spicy pesto prawn linguine. The dish materialized very quickly, brought in by a smiling and delightful staff. The drinks menu is also extensive, with an excellent wine collection, and great cocktails. The atmosphere is also amazing with a subdued lighting for some intimate setting, and great decor.“
“Such an astounding experience today for my whole family and especially my dad. We made a reservation here to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We had heard the customer service here was great but even so they definitely went way above and beyond and thoroughly exceeded our expectations. Kay was our server, he made sure the whole experience was so good from the very beginning to the end for us. He decorated the whole table for his birthday, which was totally unexpected, even brought the cake out with a lit candle!! He even gave my dad a small gift. While my boyfriend and I were waiting for the rest of the family to show up, he brought us a small plate of fruit. Such attention to detail!My parents were very impressed by the whole establishment. Our water cups never went empty, Kay checked in on us often. I’ve never felt so welcome and taken care of.Free validated parking. The bathroom was stocked with mouth wash, toothbrush/toothpaste. He gave us hair ties and lens cleaners for my brother and nephew. The dancing noodle guy did a great job as well!Definitely come for a birthday if you want the person to feel special! The tomyum soup was the favorite among most of us, miso as well!“
“Fins Bistro was an absolutely fantastic experience! The menu could not have been better as everything sounded amazing. The service was great and the food impeccable. Crab cakes, bruschetta, Paella (Large Portion! ), Miso Cod, Halibut, Mango Sorbet, and Cheese Cake.If you haven't been to this hidden wonder, then stop by ASAP, because you will not be disappointed.“
“Wonderful to have fresh selections available with so many varieties. Support local and leave great reviews, mo betta! So easy to find, great parking and plenty of other goodies. Today smells like macadamia choco chip cookies. Musubi yummy, salads mmmm.“
“Delicious hot pot in downtown Bellevue! For broths we had the house spicy and tomato. Big warning on the house spicy broth...even the "light spicy" is extremely spicy! It's very tasty but it will burn you twice if you know what I mean, especially vegetables that seem to soak up all the spicy oils. Our favorites were the beef short ribs and lamb shoulder. Fish filet was pretty good too, though I think we overcooked them. We also got Mexican shrimps that were huge but I wish they were de-veined, that was my only gripe of the meal. I really appreciated the wait staff, they were patient and explained how to order off their iPads, and gave recommendations that we enjoyed. The underground parking lot is kinda narrow and limited, so I bet it's a nightmare on busy weekends.“
“As far as sushi options at this price point go in Bellevue this is a great spot. I prefer this to japonessa or kobe around the same price point. High quality rolls - ordered spider, unagi, and spicy hamachi, all very good and well rolled. Would order all 3 again. It's not top tier sushi and isn't priced like it, I found a lot of value at the price point.“
“We come here often for any special occasion or date night - we love this location! But this time, we got even better service than usual, and the food seemed to be better than usual as well! Cameron took really good care of us for the evening - he was so wonderful, attentive, friendly and professional - we really appreciated him. Five stars all around for sure!!“
“Let's talk about Frying Fish, the Chinese eatery nestled in the mall area alongside Safeway and a cluster of other spots. Finding a spot to park is a breeze, and once inside, you'll find yourself in a cozy space adorned with traditional Chinese decor. Despite its prime location, scoring a table is usually a cinch, which is a pleasant surprise.Now, onto the main event--their signature Sichuan frying fish. It's got a bit of a greasy kick, but boy, is it flavorful. The portion sizes are nothing to scoff at, ensuring you'll leave satisfied. With five spice levels on offer, I tend to stick to a solid 4, but if your taste buds are feeling adventurous, they'll happily mix it up for you.When it comes to sides, the eggplant with basil or pea vine in garlic are standouts. The eggplant brings the heat, so proceed with caution if spice isn't your thing. But trust me, it's worth it. And the combination of basil and eggplant? Absolutely divine. While the pea vine might set you back a bit more, its unique flavor and texture make it a worthwhile indulgence.For those looking for an alternative to frying fish, the tea smoked duck is worth a try.Just a heads up--the dishes don't come with rice, so be sure to order some on the side or prepare it yourself at home.All in all, Frying Fish offers a unique twist on Chinese cuisine that's sure to leave a lasting impression. If you're in the mood for a culinary adventure, don't hesitate to give them a visit.“
“So so delicious! The waitress there was so incredibly sweet and we really enjoyed our dining experience. The food was very good while still being very affordable. We went as a family of 7, ordering three combos, a side, fried rice, and green beans, and it only came out to be about $40 per person, way better than other seafood boil spots. The food was well prepared and I personally loved the king crab, that was super tender and meaty. The garlic green beans are also very delicious. Overall highly recommend, and the waitress even gave my little sister strawberry milk for free!“
Chinese • $$
“Delicious fish dishes! First time here, a small restaurant with lots of flavor. Highly recommend giving it a try. The signature sauerkraut is just the right spice if you're in between spicy levels. The golden pickled one was less spicy, without the dried chilies.“
“It's been years since I was a regular at the Beach House on Kirkland waterfront. I made reservations for two as I had a client I wanted to take out for a chillaxing environment with good food and drinks ???. Upon arriving I hope the hostess that I would like to give up my reservations and I can sit at the bar. They were happy as it was going to be a busy Sunday morning. I was greeted by Dan and Madelynn. Love the positive vibes ✨️ and excellent customer service skillset. My cranberry mimosa's and food was amazing and wow did it get busy at the Beach House and it was cool to see Dan and Madelynn handle their business like true professionals. My client failed to come due to a hangover but, I will be back with more clients and friends in the near future. Keep up the good work Kirkland Beach House. You are the best on Kirkland waterfront. Sincerely Farmer J“
“I've been coming here for the last 10+ years, and I'm never disappointed. Great food, friendly staff, very reasonable prices. Various combos will satisfy everyone, and I mean that both in terms of quantity and choices.Went recently because some family was looking for a decent Chinese place, so I recommended it and they were blown away. Chinese is fairly limited around here but this place means you don't have to settle.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating to small onesWheelchair accessibility: No steps, standard accessibility“
“My friends and I came to celebrate a birthday and we really enjoyed our experience here. It was all of our first times, and we only mentioned it was the birthday girl's birthday in conversation, and they still made note of it and went out of their way to make her feel special at the end of our meal. The food was delicious, our server did a really great job at making recommendations. We trusted her and were not disappointed. I intentionally ordered smaller plates because I didn't want to fill up and ended up getting full quite quickly anyway. My favorite item was the crabcake on the appetizer menu, and they offered a delicious pink seabream ceviche that was very subtle in fish flavor, but exploding with flavor with the toppings they dressed it with. We will definitely be coming back.“
“Bartender was incredible. Wanted a recommendation for something refreshing and suggested the blood orange Margarita or a new drink called the cobbler. Ended up having both of them and they were not disappointing. Sat down and had a great server who recommended the jambalaya and it was the best I have ever had. This will be a must go every time we are here. Thank you Seastar.“
“My favorite place to take important guests for a nice meal and a nice conversation. My favorites are as follows:- House fried rice- Buddha's delite- Crispy noodles with white sauce- Black pepper beef- Orange chickenThe service is stellar. Our glasses of water is never below half-full. All of the silverware is always clean. The water never tastes like dish soap. The servers are always helping each other to make for a great experience. The food here is wonderful. We've been going for over 20 yrs, and it hasn't changed at all.“
“Very cool interior with the neon lights. The food was very flavorful with good spice. We had the pickled pepper beef with Cilantro, the shredded pork with garlic, the pickled garlic cucumber salad, lamb fried rice, and beef noodles. They all had very unique tastes and the chicken was our favorite. I would come here again.“
“After a long day, I decided to order some comfort food from Best Wok through DoorDash. Craving something sweet and tangy, I opted for the orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken. The ordering process was smooth, and the food arrived promptly, which was impressive.However, when I unpacked the meal, I noticed that the portions were quite small considering the price - $20 per item seemed steep for the amount provided. Both dishes came with just one small container of white rice, which was not quite sufficient for two complete meals.Taste-wise, the dishes were good. The orange chicken had a perfect balance of sweetness and zest, while the sweet and sour chicken boasted a tangy sauce that coated the tender pieces of chicken nicely. When compared to my usual go-to spot, it fell a bit short.Despite the portion size, I must say, this was definitely the best Chinese food I've ordered through a delivery system so far. The flavors were spot on, and the convenience of having it delivered to my doorstep was a plus. I would recommend Best Wok to anyone looking for quality Chinese cuisine delivered to their home.“
“It been a while since we went to Patrona for dinner. Usually it’s a date night thing so The wife and I go. We’ve been to a good number of the Mexican restaurants around and we like Patrona the most. I really like their Carnitas De Puerco, you can taste the citrus of a traditional preparation, yet they are savory and juicy. I think they are the best carnitas in the area and worth the drive. Their chili verde is just delicious, tangy and juicy pork slow cooked. The tortillas are fresh made by hand and delicious.I’ve seen it busy in there, but we’re usually early for dinner (5-5:30). We have been there when the quickest seat was at the bar. But that’s not always a bad option.“
“Go to spot. We come here at least a couple of times a year. We also don't stray very far from our usual order. Appetizer tower, Cajun fettuccine, shrimp and grits and the creamy kids Alfredo. The only thing that changes is the cocktails.The shrimp toast on the appetizer tower can be iffy with the guac but when the salmon is on the tower, definitely get it. Kids love the calamari.If we don't have the kids with us, we also try to make it for their happy hour.Last time we were there, our server Jenna was great. she kept clearing out any used dishes which helped since the table was not too big. The tables by the windows and the booths are spacious. All the free standing tables are ok for 2 but too tight for any more.We had a reservation and there were larger 4 seaters when we arrived. I specifically requested a booth if possible but definitely not a center table. The first table the hostess took us to was a center table. We've not had luck with good tables the last couple of times but I guess the food makes up ??♂️“
“Perfect food- perfect location. Right on the Lake Washington waterfront across from the sand volleyball court and park with its beachfront sand and shared duck, this location is truly amazing and it is exactly the kind of food one expects that ivor's. Always my very favorite fish cooked to perfection, I like the thickness of the fish. I love their fries. I love their sauces. Ivar's, fish done in the Pacific Northwest where the company started and where it continues to flourish. This is my home location“
“Over all it was a good place with a good selection to choose from.but wished that they had bread at the table and offered a salad or something.to keep you engaged while waiting for your meal.note that it is a little pricey.but that seams to be the trend .over all now knowing what to expect id definitely go back.“
“Went to this place for a music event in the bar. $20 cover charge. Food we got was reasonably good, but they were short-handed with servers with only 2 people to serve a full bar of 50 or more patrons. To servers credit they and the kitchen did a fair job serving. Nice selection of libations. Music was lively and fun. Looking at the dining room menu I'd like to come back to try their dinner fare, in particular their oxtail dish.The bar menu of garlic with soy sauce was fairly tasty from the bar menu.“
“It's easy to write a negative comment/review about a restaurant, but to receive service so good that you are so happy to leave a positive review.First off, my family of 4 arrived just when lunch rush began. So it is expected to wait for a bit. But the 2 ladies ran the front so well, things were cleaned up and set up in such efficient way, we were seated in no time. They have excellent communication between each other which made the process went so smoothly.Food was great, the C2 dish (crispy chicken with special spicy sauce) was really good. Not really spicy but for someone that doesn't really eat spicy, I have nothing to complain about. Too bad the fried chicken steak over rice was a bit overcooked and dry.At the end we decided to get some bubble tea. Although they were so busy they were spinning like a top, the lady with red hair took the time to introduce their drink to us, and even offered to split the drink for our kids so they each have one drink in hand (they were so surprised and felt special).Gosh, the tipping system is so abused nowadays, but for these 2 ladies? A hands-down "take my money cause you rock"!!“
“I had a great Bento box here today. Took me forever to decide what to eat. Their menu is huge for me! I'll be back soon so I can try something else. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because I lived in Japan for many years. Nothing compares to the food in Japan! But it sure was nice finding this restaurant today. I'll definitely be coming back!“
“We were celebrating my dad's birthday, and he couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. The staff went above and beyond to make sure he had a table he could access with his walker, and they even stored the walker out of the way while we enjoyed our meal. At the end of the meal, it magically appeared again without having to prompt anyone to help us find it. The server was perfectly attentive, the view was fabulous, and the meal was delicious. I couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank you for helping me make a seamless birthday celebration for my dad. PS. When we arrived at the table, a handwritten birthday note was waiting for him, which was delightful and absolutely above and beyond what we expected. Nice touch! Thank you!“
“My son, my two grandchildren and I went to Feast for happy hour. Everything about the experience was perfect. We ordered about six things off the happy hour menu to share, and everything was wonderful! Happy hour was a great value and it might be the best one I have ever been to. I can't wait until my next trip here to visit Feast again.“
“Hands-down, the best, Italian, not just in seattle, but to me in the country! Specifically the bolognese is very unique ! I used to live here but now I come back every time I visit Seattle it’s worth the drive into bellevueIf you come here, you should also try the tortellini and also the special chicken with artichoke and mushroom. So yummy ! See pics“
“TLDR; A great place for insight into South Indian food, very good quality and flavors!Kathakali was recommended to me by a friend who was visiting and I’ve finally had a chance to try it! It’s so great to see Indian restaurants focusing on cuisines from other part of India - the food here is so good and I really cannot stress enough how on point the flavors are! We ordered kerala uppam, gunpowder dosa and ulli eggplant theeyal- recommend absolutely everything!Will be back here again!Vegetarian options: Plenty of options, all of which are amazing!Parking: Parking lot for restaurant next door“
“Love love love this place - amazing service (twins Jake and Justin, Larry and everyone!!) ) was wonderful the food outstanding an the atmosphere fabulous.. visited for a family retirement dinner and felt special all evening - Thank you El Groucho!“
“We had a nice dinner out. They had been super busy before we got there and ran out of fish so they had to prepare more. The employees were very apologetic, but they got us our fish super quick. It was a great crew working as a team that's for sure.Kid-friendliness: They had booster chairs for our little one and the employees got us crackers while we waited for our fish.“
“I decided on their exemplary Beyond happy Burger, and try to keep your hat on, it didn't frustrate. The patty was impeccably prepared and cooked to delicious flawlessness, settled between a feathery bun and new, fresh garnishes. The blend of flavors was just sublime, leaving me hankering more with each nibble.“
“Best vegan Thai in the Bellevue area! The food was very fresh and really tasty.We really loved their Eggplant stir-fried mix veggie ,Tom Kha veggie, Summer roll and Mango sticky rice as well.All the food was full of flavor and makes you feel like you want to come back here again.The restaurant has a very cute vibe as well and the staff have been friendly and nice to us.“
“Sunday morning. All of Issasquak was booked or busy. FIG had one server/hostess/busser. But she handled it like a pro. Other restaurants may have a bunch of servers and empty tables and be too busy. Not FIG. Their one server did everything impeccably. Food was great. Bring a coat. If you bring a lap blanket too I won't judge you. Place is kind of cold.“
“We ordered the Honey Walnut Prawns/Shrimp $17.99 in a delicious creamy sweet white sauce (kind of like a condensed milk taste but thinner) but just the right sauce thicknesst to stick to the Prawns /Shrimp with a hint of lemon ?? ? pineapple ? pieces in the sauce nice touch on your taste buds. Exactly what we hoped it would taste like, comes with a cup of steam white rice ?, but we paid a little extra $2 for fried rice cup, very clean pork fried rice just a healthier variation vs the brown color fried rice, no soy sauce added. What a treat ? healthy not heavy. Totally delicious and worth the money ? our 1st time there today, and definitely will go back for the same thing when we have that craving or try something new too, honey walnut shrimp is our favorite dish and we like to see who can make the best. Compared to Tulalips Casino Journeys Restaurant which we only go to for the Honey Walnut Shrimp. Until now the Imperial Wok has exactly the same taste we were looking for, they exceeded our expectations tonight with take out. Definitely try YOUR favorite dish you usually order else where and see IF it meets yourexpectations. You just might make it your new go to spot, very friendly what a wonderful experience. Highly recommend ?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ on taste experience that we were craving ? she nailed it ?? on time.Thank you again“
“Food was good. Had the lobster roll and it was somewhat tasty. Also, had the sandwich and friend had the salmon salad. We shared a clam chowder and it was ok just too creamy for my liking. Other friend had the fish and chips. Fish had some flavor and fries are well just fries nothing special.“
“Aspen was the perfect host. She allowed for a lovely “pace” to our evening so the we could explore the Krawbar menu, its comfortable interior and the magnificent food. From the HH Dynamite Shrimp to the Seafood Boil with Dungeness Crab and the French “Happy” Chardonnay by the glass, we could not have asked for better! Truly! It was very “shareable” and perfect for two. The tastes are truly impressive! Coming back for sure!!Dietary restrictions: They will do whatever they can for the “Gluten Free” customer!!Parking: Plenty.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get in and out.“
“I must say….the Bar tender here, sorry didn’t catch his name but he has blond hair and super nice!! He’s a rockstar, amazing service and super friendly! The staff bringing our food out were also top notch super nice and helpful! I was just flat out impressed!! Can’t think of better words to say how great the staff here are!! The food was also fantastic!! Had the lobster and filet with the bacon Mac and Brussels! First, the steak was cooked to perfection, flavor was fabulous, I’ve been to amazing steakhouses that weren’t anywhere near this good. The lobster was amazing as well, cooked perfectly. The Brussels and Mac and cheese were very well done! Hats off to the chef, I was not expecting this amount of excellence when we walked in the door!! Not that I expected anything bad but I was blown away! Highly recommend this place!! Again, thank you to the awesome bar tender that I didn’t get a chance to tell how great he and everything was!! So….thank you again and hope to see you again when I’m back!!“
“Splurge and get the Japanese wagyu beef skewers - you'll think you died and went to heaven. They melt in your mouth, succulent, perfectly grilled, they're well worth $18. The cocktails are strong, tasty, interesting, service is great, the restaurant is impeccably clean.....Parking: As evening goes on, parking fills up....Kid-friendliness: Not really a place for kids“
