Comfort Food Restaurants near Bellevue, WA

“We came for the pool tournament and stayed for the steak! Absolutely incredible food! Highly recommended! Hospitality and service were top notch. From the time I gave them my card I was addressed by my first name and treated like a friend. Couldn’t ask for a better night! 5 star!!“

“Lee’s Kitchen in Factoria is the same restaurant as the OG located Overlake. This location is much more spacious vs Overlake. If you are near both locations, come here instead. Their most popular dishes are the rice rolls while everyone still complains about how long it takes to make stone pot rice dishes. In case anyone misses the fine print, it takes over 30 minutes. Another couple in the restaurant thought they forgot to make the dish and were yelling into the kitchen. The staff is friendly, though limited with their English. We ordered via the tablet at the front, and the food is brought out to us at the table. A rack on a wall has all the utensils and napkins, etc. Parking is plentiful.

The Food:
Shrimp Rice Rolls $11.99 – 4 Stars
The rice rolls are still as good as I remember them. For some reason, it feels a bit out of balance this time. A lot of rice rolls, not a lot of shrimp. The sauce is fantastic and a must.

Signature Beef Brisket Rice Rolls add Egg, $18.99+$1 – 4 Stars
This is a beefy take on the rice roll. The added egg provided the yellow hue in the rice roll. Some brisket pieces are fattier. Their version is the traditional style with the chewy bit attached; some folks might hate it due to this. The sauce is also beefy. This is almost a soup, not in a bad way.

Clear Soup Beef Offal with Daikon, $12.99 – 0 Stars
This was a sad dish. When they say soup, they meant most broth, with few contents. The daikon wasn’t tender. The offal and the soup didn’t have much flavor. I rarely leave food behind, but I did for this dish.

Garlic Fried Chicken Wings, $7.99 – 5 Stars
The clear winner of the night were their wings. I believe four pieces of plump and fat wings, perfectly crispy and flavorful. I would order this again.“

“Boiling Point is fantastic, and their service is even better! We had a party of seven, including kids, and the staff took such great care of us. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be back!“

“This place was amazing!!! will definitely be coming back. Tried some new (to me) dishes and was blown away by the masala puri, the dahi puri and the rave dose. Everything was delicious. Very nice atmosphere, bright and busy but not too loud. The waiters gave us great recommendations, fast service. Favorite restaurant in the Seattle area!“

“Best restaurant in the greater seattle area, friendly service and great food!!!“

“The cheese is amazing!!! It's a must each time I go to Seattle.“

“We visited Radiator Whiskey for happy hour! The catfish nuggets were a bit fishy though that might just be how catfish tastes since it was our first time trying it. The sauce was great, though! And the bacon cheeseburger was honestly the best 🍔 I’ve ever had! Overall the food and service were excellent!“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“They make some of the best pizza in Seattle, and honestly some of the best pizza I've had anywhere! Delicious sauce, great crust, toppings are excellent - best lunch is a couple of slices + a cookie and a Mannies :D“

“Great options for indian food ! From manchurian to chaat and even hakka noodles ! The taste is really good !

Personal favorite was panner burger and sandwiches! Even chaat is great !
Friendly staff and decent atmosphere!
Great option in U district!“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“This is my safe haven as a creative with celiac. The food is incredible and full of unique flavors, a rarity when it comes to gluten free. The general atmosphere is always so friendly and cosy, I love stopping by for a quick bite or hanging out getting some work done while snacking on a spam musubi. Thank you Yeobo <3“

“This was the most memorable experience I’ve ever had ordering take-out.
The owner absolutely made the experience. She talked to me the whole time she was making my food. I loved how she spoke about cooking. She just wants to make good food and put her heart into it.

Come here for the love of food.
Don’t come here expecting a regular service restaurant.
Call in order, pick up at the door.
You might have to look around quite a bit to find it.. Just have an open heart. It’s freakin delicious.“

“Cool place in industrial area; plenty of parking spots. I first thought it's a diner but but it's a unique restaurant with a car gallery viewable through the glass wall while dining; brunch time. It looks like they offer a tour with a fee; we didn't have time to do this then. The guy who greeted us give off this grumpy or unhappy vibe. Turned out he is also our waiter where he seems less grumpy. Foods look great and taste great, but might want to try their dinner menu next time.“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“I feel fortunate to live so close to a family-owned restaurant like Cheeky Cafe. Whether you want a sandwich, pancakes, or spam and eggs, Cheeky Cafe has something delicious for everyone and for every day. Gina and everyone here are so friendly, welcoming, and truly wonderful.
Come to enjoy my favorite food any time of day— breakfast!
And if you don’t like breakfast for dinner, my personal favorite is the coconut curry quinoa, and my wife’s favorite is the pasta carbonara. Come find your own personal favorite!“

“Historical saloon with tasty food and drinks. Also, great atmosphere for amazing live music. Highly recommended!“

“Moss Bay Hall is such a great place for casual get-togethers, business meetings, or just relaxing after hours. It’s always clean, the service is kind, and the environment is fun and welcoming. If you like sports, I guess they’ve got that covered too! The owners are incredibly community-minded and do so much good in the world — you can feel it in the way the place is run. And honestly, who doesn’t love a delicious smash burger? Highly recommend“

“This was a great little place if you want to try several different items but you don’t want to waste food. It’s kind of like a tapas bar. They give you a menu and a card that you fill out with plates you want to try, then they start bringing the plates over. If you want to add more, you can. Or they can close out your ticket when you are done. I was craving Asian food, and this was close to the waterfront, so I didn’t have to drive to Chinatown. I would come back here.“

“I stopped by Oh Dang! in a Cup for a meal and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere had a really nice, welcoming vibe. I wasn’t sure at first whether I wanted to wait outside or sit by the bar, but I ended up playing a few games while I waited.

Natty was especially helpful and gave me some great recommendations from the menu. Natty and the rest of the Black Cat staff were friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely recommend!“

“Nice small space with great Korean hybrid food. 5 stars here for the salad medley and fermented pickles.“

“This is a hole-in-the-wall type of place in Chinatown, which, in my experience, is usually the best. Gan Beo didn't disappoint. The place is just big enough for a bar and a few tables, with the kitchen in the back. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy. The bartender/hostess was very friendly and helpful. We just ordered a couple of simple dishes to go - ong choy (a.k.a. morning glory) in garlic sauce (ong choy is pretty hard to find) and fried tofu. The food was great. I'm sure they would have been even better if we ate there. Will definitely be back.“

“In one word, Delicious! The photos do not do the food justice. The food is fresh, beautiful, quick and scrumptious! The portions are generous. The entire family enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend for bento, poke and the rest of the menu, as Donburi House is a new favourite.“

“House of Eve is located in one of the newer buildings at South Lake Union. Recommended by a friend, the restaurant is charmingly inviting and modern despite being in SLU concrete jungle. Kudos to the designer. All our food is precisely prepared and delicious. Our server is sweet and helpful answering my questions. A service charge of 20% is automatically added. I believe they have validated parking, but we found free street parking on a Sunday.

Fun fact: From the first moment I saw our waiter, I thought that guy is a performer. At the end of our meal, I asked if he was a dancer. He said he is and is just started to get back into it, and that I made his day when I said he looks like a dancer!

The Food:
Salmon and Pesto Sandwich, $32 – 5 Stars
A sizable slab of wild-caught salmon is expertly grilled and justifies the price. Paired with pesto aioli, baby kale, arugula, and tomato, with side of perfect fried potatoes, I can order this dish again and again.

Duck Duck Goose, $36 – 5 Stars
Pan-fried duck breast, roasted carrots, baby potatoes are wonderfully seared and beautifully plated with piping of orange glaze. Everything tastes as good as it looks.

Brussels Sprouts, $16 – 5 Stars
These are deep fried, mixed with sriracha hot honey, and covered with pickled onions. These are mischievously tasty. The goat cheese is served on the size per my request.“

“While sometimes it can be a long wait, these guys are super nice and take pride in their service! David Wanda and Stephon today were great. David noticed one of the portions of chicken was small so he gave me an extra free piece. The place is small and its probably a sauna in there while they work, but they do their best! Thanks again!!“

“Great food and customer service“

“Love the food but y’all forgot my rolls in my Door Dash order 😭“

“Very beautiful and fun experience with a vast selection and large portions.“

“A great rooftop deck for enjoying a cocktail and feeling the city around you. Unlike a high rise rooftop where you’re paying extra for vibey drinks 100-feet above the street, this is a second floor rooftop in the heart of Capital Hill. Also one of the best boozey slushies, and they actually have booze in them. Most of the cities boozy slushy‘s are SLUSHIES with a little booze. These are proper cocktails.“

“Delicious food & reasonable prices- fast service and nice atmosphere! We chose take out after soccer and it was ready/hot and my son LOVED the soup dumplings 🥟“

“Sat there with my little personal hot pot, broth slowly bubbling, kind of hypnotic. The garlic pork belly came out still sizzling, smelled rich without being overpowering. Tbh my glasses fogged up half the time but it felt cozy and unhurried.“
