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!!“

“We were looking for a new Chinese restaurant for celebrating Father's Day. Thought we couldn't go wrong with a place that shared a name with me 😉 this is a very good Cantonese restaurant tucked into the corner of the factoria shopping strip.

We ordered chicken fried rice, beef chow fun, Chinese sausage clay pot, shrimp wonton noodle soup, and braised pork belly. Overall the food was very good. The chow fun noodles were lacking on seasoning but the kitchen stir fried them again with a bit more sauce.

I will definitely come back here for future orders. I'm glad to have found this gem in factoria.“

“The cheese sandwich was so gooey and tasty!“

“Kazuma provided excellent service from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He created a welcoming atmosphere without ever feeling overbearing. I really appreciated his hospitality and would definitely recommend asking for him if you stop by!“

“Dropped in at 6:30 PM during our trip from California. Service was quick and efficient, and the ambiance was decent. The highlights were the delicious akki roti, flavorful payasam, and a good finish with the fried banana poori and filter coffee. On the downside, the sambar and chutney were just okay, and the thali was let down by cold curries. Overall, a pretty experience for the price point.“

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

“Sometimes a place hits just right. If you’re lucky you can get a table by the window for that epic 1st and Pike people watching. Get some braised brisket and appreciate. I liked the space with the exposed wood ceiling and old school windows. Service was timely and friendly. I look forward to coming back to try the baked fontina cheese dip appetizer or the fried bread pudding.“

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

“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“

Pav bhaji was mid can have more flavor !
Personal favorite was panner burger and sandwiches! Even chaat is great !
Friendly staff and decent atmosphere!

“Greeter was rude. Like it was a trouble for him to get up from folding napkins to seat me at a table instead of going to the bar like he suggested. Actual server was nice. Food was good but overpriced($32 for a chicken burger and fries, no drink) and the 20% automatic tipping is a huge turnoff. This tipping culture is too much, tipping should be optional. Atmosphere of cars is cool.“

“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“

“All I can say is WOW! This is truly a hidden gem in Seattle. The best sambusas, hands down. Mama Marian - you are a ray of light & you can taste the love in your cooking! I will visit every time I come back to Seattle. 1000000/10 recommend!“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“Live right around the corner and it’s very hard to not stop by every day. I’ve Never had a bad experience and I Could recommend almost anything on the menu. You should Definitely stop by and get a hot chai and some chili cheese hashbrowns or loco moco“

“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“

“Found by accident with my wife. We decided to stop and immediately felt comfortable and welcome. It really reminds me of dive bars back in the Midwest/south with great music, cheap drinks (for Seattle) and fantastic food. We plan on coming back every time we’re in Seattle“

“Dough Zone did not disappoint! I’m not sure how authentic it is, but it was a great family friendly spot, and I’d rate it 8/10. Everything we ordered was delicious, and every dish was full of flavor. The pork xiao long bao was so good that we had to order another round! 😋 Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving great dumplings and comforting Chinese food.“

“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.“

“Bah had a fantastic demeanor when we walked in during lunch rush, I am so glad they were working the first time I ate here. The meat lover bento and extra Poke (had to try a little of every fish) were a fantastic lunch treat! Great prices for the amount of meat you get. I think I have found my new lunch spot“

“Came here off our cruise ship before we fly home and found this little gem. What a wonderful experience greeted by a charming woman who we later found out owned the restaurant. She was/is amazing we thoroughly enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and most importantly the hospitality.“

“Delicious food. All food tastes fresh & flavorful.
Chicken tastes crispy ,yummy & enjoyable .

No grease on hands, no grease on napkins. Just perfect. Amazing flavor

Excellent friendly customer service from the very young lady.

Clean spacious inviting place. Good back ground music.“

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

“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“

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

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

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

“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!“

“10 STARS

This is my favorite bar in Capitol Hill. I come here quite frequently with friends but still spend my days daydreaming about my next visit. Playlist NEVER disappoints. It’s a new vibe everyday and I’m always dying to get the link. MAJOR Kudos. My phones wallpaper? Captain Blacks nachos. Playing cards on the deck with a beer and fist full of nachos is my happy place. Love love love love love Captain Blacks.“

“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 🥟“

“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!“

“The food here is genuinely delicious. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the ingredients always taste fresh. It’s definitely one of my favorite hot pot spots in the area. The only downside is that the restaurant is pretty small, so it gets crowded very quickly. There are often long wait times, especially during lunch and dinner hours. If they had more seating or managed the wait a bit better, I’d easily give it 5 stars. Still, it’s worth the visit if you don’t mind waiting.“
