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!!“

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

“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.“

“The cheese sandwich was so gooey and tasty!“

“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!“

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

“Really cool spot with a great atmosphere. Radiator Whisky has an awesome selection of whiskey, well-made cocktails, and a laid-back vibe that makes it easy to hang out for a while. The bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and provided great service. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re looking for a good whiskey bar and a fun night out.“

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

“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“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great options for indian food ! From manchurian to chaat and even hakka noodles ! The taste is really good !
Pav bhaji was mid can have more flavor !
Personal favorite was panner burger and sandwiches! Even chaat is great !
Friendly staff and decent atmosphere!
Great option in U district!“

“This is a straight ahead breakfast and lunch place. Fast, pleasant service. Reasonable prices. Clean, quiet. Recommend. We had bacon and eggs and toast (for lunch) which were cooked perfectly. Didn't try the coffee so can't opine on that.“

“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.“

“The bouncer, Corwen (? I may have misheard his name) wouldn’t let me in because I had no ID, despite my being visibly 55 years old. This is praise, not a complaint. We’re in town for a college tour and it’s reassuring to know this place won’t serve minors. I waited outside while my friend went in to grab food, and he was so friendly and chatty with the regulars while keeping a close eye on the door. The vibe of a bar begins outside and he did a great job of creating a warm, neighborly feeling — even for those of us hanging around on the sidewalk.“

“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“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“The poke at Donburi House was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying! The fish tasted high quality, and the toppings added great variety, color, and texture to every bite. The portions were generous, and everything came together perfectly in one delicious bowl. The service is fast and friendly. Definitely a great place for a tasty and healthy lunch!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Food is great, have been to this location twice now. Only downside is that they have forgotten items from order both times, some sides etc. Did not take the time to go back and get them as we didn’t want to drive back. Will still return in the future“

“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.“
