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!!“

“I had not given a 5 stars for a long time but this place deserves it. 煲仔飯 was cooked at the right timing so the rice was crispy but not burned. 腸粉was tender and pairing with 皮蛋 gave an interesting twist. And then, the 芋泥was the best…“

“Delicioso , exelente atención.“

“food was delicious. staff was very professional and courteous and friendly. awesome place to dine.“

“I made it home to Tulsa, Oklahoma just to tell my friends and family about my experience. The food in general was amazing seasoned and cooked well. Spicy okra, and Cole slaw was tasty they even offer $1 sweet potato pie . I can not wait to come back and visit see you summer of 2026“

“The cheese sandwich was so gooey and tasty!“

“I love boiling point. But after the last couple visits I’ve noticed that the portion sizes have significantly decreased. ALSO how could you take away the ”I ❤️ BP” fish cake and replace it with tiny pink fish cake pieces. I always have the best service and time with ALVIN and neck tattoo guy. Give them a raise.“

“01/16/2026 - Updating the review to 4 stars since wada wasn’t freshly made. It seemed like a frozen or stale one heated up. The ragi dosa was good.

The most authentic South Indian tiffin I've had in the US! The sambar is exceptional—simply to die for.

The vada dipped in sambar, with a side of chutney, was the perfect start to our meal. The onion rava dosa was smaller than usual, but both the dosa and the masala uttapam were crispy and packed with flavor. Although the filter coffee wasn't the best, it was strong and paired well with our meal.

Service was fast; we arrived at 11:45 am on a Sunday and only waited 5 minutes. Those who came after us had to wait for about 20-30 minutes. I would definitely return to try more items.“

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

“👥 2 pax on Saturday before noon
🍽️ 8oz “World’s Best” Mac & Cheese, 1 breadzel

Pros:
Long queues but fairly short wait time, food is delivered piping hot, breadzel is fantastic dipped into the mac & cheese sauce.

Cons:
Barely any room in the store to eat so would not be ideal for large groups.
Mac & cheese was great, though $8.99 feels a bit steep (portion captured in video).

Would love to try the grilled cheese sandwiches next time!“

“My fiancé and I really liked it here; it’s the perfect place for car enthusiasts. The food was good, our waiter was really friendly, and the tour around the interior of the building was interesting. The tours are $15 PP but since they were having an event and the middle of the showroom didn’t have any cars, they gave us a tour around the place for free which we greatly appreciated. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable on the cars. 10/10 would come back~ 🫶🏼“

“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“

“Our first time here! It's tucked away with the other businesses near Pike Place Market. It's where Wild Fish Poke is and you'll see their sign on the right and then up the stairs! It's across from Matt's in the Market and on the 2nd floor. Place is small so they DO require a reservation! They have an assortment of drinks, several bourbons and whiskey. I got the autumns mark which has 4 different liquors and fall spices. My bf tried the "pickle back" which is a shot of bourbon + a shot of pickle juice. I'm not a fan of bourbon but man, you gotta try the pickle juice! If you like pickles, you will like this, their own recipe too! The loaded tots you must get! Truly loaded with tender pulled pork, pickled goat horn peppers (so good), smoked cheddar cheese, GRAVY and a soft fried egg on top! I LOVED their braised beef brisket! Three hunks of beef, slowly braised and oh so tender with arugula on the side and some nice buttered onions with subtle horseradish crème on the side. Dip the beef in that crème and braised sauce, delicious! To end the good food and drinks, we had the fried bread pudding that had bourbon caramel and whipped cream. You NEED TWO of these! Like it was that good and good for one person if you ask me. Our server was delightful and entertaining! Atmosphere has nice vibes, definitely casual.“

“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“

“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!!“

“Bombay Express in the University District is a fantastic spot for amazing, affordable Indian food. The flavors are authentic, portions are generous, and it’s open late, perfect for satisfying those late-night cravings without spending much.“

“I went there randomly. Knocked at the door and Auntie came by, and told me everything's gonna take some time. I opted for just the Cheesecake as the neighborhood looked a little sketchy to be waiting around cluelessly. Mama was so sweet and endearing she gave me sambusas too. And the raspberry white chocolate Cheesecake was MIND BLOWING.“

“Yeobo was a great spot to chill with a cocktail on a Friday evening. The space is large, with plenty of seating and couches for groups. Vibes were relaxed and while I didn't adore my negroni, the menu had other options I'd try next time.“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

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

“Came to Cheeky Cafe for Saturday brunch with my partner and were seated immediately - always a good start.

The space has high ceilings and a casual, slightly unpolished feel that actually works really well with the food. There's a big chalkboard menu at the counter, but they'll also hand you a paper menu, which I appreciated.

Between the two of us, we tried a lot: the loco moco meatloaf, carbonara, a slice of French toast, and the cinnamon fry bread. The carbonara was solid and comforting - a classic execution, nothing fancy. The loco moco meatloaf was fine on its own, but the curry-forward, Asian-influenced sauce is what made it shine.

The absolute standout, though, was the cinnamon fry bread. If you grew up on Asian fry bread, this will take you straight back. It genuinely made me happy, and I'd come back just for that alone.

Our waitress was sweet, attentive, and friendly throughout.

A great brunch spot with soul - and that fry bread is reason enough to return.“

“Went to this bar in Belltown-Seattle, twice with some good friends from Boston MA, we absolutely loved it, top notch service, bartenders-feels like you're chatting with a friend, they serve good food-vegan burger is second to none, Love the chef, great guy, we will be back 🙏🏾“

“A delightful and soothing place right at the intersection of the harbor steps and the Seattle waterfront, a lovely symbol of the ongoing revitalization of the waterfront region in downtown Seattle. There is a lot of great Chinese food in Seattle, but relatively little of it is directly downtown, so it was quite lovely to see this place that offers very savory and sumptuous fare for a very reasonable price by Seattle standards. I have a very close Chinese friend and if she ever comes to visit me, I will make sure to take her to this place. After entering the sophisticated yet not pretentious restaurant, I sat down and ordered a milk tea and some steamed pork dumplings, both of which were delightful. The milk tea was large and sweet, the perfect contrast to the dumplings. I am not sure I would call this place exceptional by the standards of Chinese restaurants, as it doesn't really have a special flair to it, but it is solid and reliable and located in a promising place here in downtown Seattle. There is very little to complain about, aside maybe from how I felt like the staff were rushing me a little while I was eating. These are minor nitpicks, and I would absolutely go here again if I am in the area and feel a desire for some delicious dumplings. The harbor steps region feels so elegant and picturesque, a true testament to Seattle's effort to revitalize public space, and this is one of many very delicious restaurants that have taken advantage of that newly revitalized space.“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“Always a wonderful time here. Really good karaoke night on thursdays, and you can join even if you suck thru work, they don’t judge. Daily specials Monday thru Sunday and every dish is made with love. A gem of the neighborhood and a blessing to be invited to“

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

“Trying to eat lunch outside this Wells Fargo building is Seattle which houses several businesses but several employees smoking next to the facility that makes for a poor eating experience.

Also, could use more outside seating (some with umbrellas).“

“This place was so cute, coffee was amazing, and service was even better. I didn’t have the best customer service experience during my time in Seattle. However, Mikayla was the ray of sunshine I needed on that rainy day! 10/10 recommend for brunch and catching up with friends.“

“the Woodinville location pick up only took about 2 minutes, the chicken strips were actually not the best I've had at ezells over the past 15 years but it was still great. At least we know that the chicken is freshly made and not frozen! my daughter says it has a gourmet taste which is a win“

“Great food and customer service“

“Wow great fried chicken - my brother claims it was life changing 😀. Nothing more to say except it's recommended by Oprah!“

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

“If you live in Seattle and you love chicken, you must know Ezell's. This chicken is the one rumored to be the meal Opra sent her private jet to Seattle to pick up chicken dinners for her staff. Yes, it's that good.when you walk in, you'll get a face slap with the aroma of their famous chicken. Numerous locations around Seattle and 18 franchises in Washington. This Kirkland location just opened up this year (2024) , and this visit was not my first taste of what I believe is the best tasting chicken I have ever eaten. Single pieces are available, but the meals are the best value. I like regular but spicy is an option. I love the chicken livers; don't judge me. Staff are always polite and helpful. You can dine in or get it to go. Every Ezell's I have been to is very clean, and the quality is consistently good . Resently Ezell's celibrated 40 years of cooking it's famous chicken ,started by Ezell Stephen and Lewis Rudd in February 3, 1984 in the Central District. The chain is owned now by Faye, Ezell's former wife. 5 stars to Ezell's in Kirkland and welcome to the neighborhood.“

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

“A Seattle institution ❤️🍗 made famous worldwide by Oprah.“

“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 🥟“

“Ezell's chicken strips are my absolute favorite. Been here countless times. Staff is always cool. The strips take longer to cook than I prefer, but they are worth the wait. Their fried chicken is great too. I just prefer the regular strips. I could eat them every day. All the food is very good though. The fries and/or fried okra are my favorite sides. Just some good food!“

“First time visiting, yeah the music is a little loud but it’s a bar what do you expect. I’m a sweet drink kinda girl and loved the captains tea! Didn’t get any food so can’t review that but the cook was really nice and the food I saw coming out looked yummy so I look forward to trying it when I go again! Great views can’t ask for much more.“

“It's Ezell's! It's a Seattle classic. My kid has grown up on their chicken tenders (1 pound - half/half, always) - they are a warm, familiar, delicous treat! Avoid DoorDash if you can - 1 pound of tenders on DoorDash (with 10% tip) was $46.04 - when I decided to pick up at the store on Rainier, it was $24.24. Save yourself some $ if you can, and support Ezell's directly!“

“Love this place. Good Japanese curry and quick service.“

“I’ve been to Boiling Point several times and it’s been consistently good. Each person gets an individual hot pot, which feels cleaner and more hygienic. The ingredients are fresh, and there’s a wide variety of soup bases to choose from.

I usually go for the Beef or House Special combo—the House Special is noticeably spicier and great if you like heat. During lunch hours, they sometimes include complimentary iced green tea or black tea, which is a nice bonus.

Overall, a solid choice for individual hot pot with reliable quality.“
