“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.“
“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!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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"!!“
“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“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
