“I'm mad my friend didn't show me this spot earlier!!! For starters, we had the mezze platter. It came with dolmas (so good!! Perfect marriage of rice and spices!), tzatziki (so fresh! The mint...yum!!), baba ganoush (with a smokey hint), hummus (so fresh!!), tabouli (best ive had in a long time! It was not overwhelming with parsley... super enjoyable. So good we got orders to go!), and the piyaz (a chilled white bean salad with ginger root, onion, tomato, EVOO, and garlic...so good we got orders to go!). Entrees we had the mesopotamian lamb and beef (the stew was so comforting..like a hug. The lamb was so tender!), and the lamb chops (love the rosemary and garlic!) For dessert...freshhhhh baklava, freshest ive had. It had just been made. It was so perfect! It's not so heavy compared to the normal baklava with honey that Im used too. Looks like I have a new favorite Mediterranean spot to go to!!! The staff was great. The food was amazing.”
“Fantastic sushi and people. Casual, kind and some of the best service and fish around.”
“Another fabulous dinner with Chef Frank and the team and dessert with Sophia!!! It doesn’t get any better anywhere than at the 909!!! The food is top notch and fantastic!!! Frank and the team are so spectacular!!! The ambience is so wonderful!!! And Michelle - my lemon drop connoisseur - says Sophia makes the best lemon drop of anywhere she’s ever been!!! THANKS for the great dinner tonight!!!”
“One of the best Ethiopian meals I’ve had in the United States. The flavors were incredibly well balanced, with just the right level of spice. Highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be coming back.”
“Centro is the best restaurant in Burien delivering a creative seasonal menu and every review is delicious! The owners are extremely involved in the Burien Community and the staff is amazing! Right now my favorites are the fish taco, salmon cevice and paloma. But doraditos, cauliflower nachos, brusselsprouts, habanero enchiladas and avocado salsa are forever my favorites! oh and Churros! & hibiscus tea 🌺Try everything!💖🥰 & Emily is my favorite server (pictured)!”

“Pizza Gallery in Burien makes some of the best Hawaiian pizza I’ve ever had. The combination pizza is just as impressive—packed with flavor, well-balanced toppings, and cooked perfectly. Both pizzas are easily some of the best I’ve had, and I can honestly eat the whole thing, including the crust, because it’s that good.
What really stands out is the care they put into the food. The young gentlemen preparing the pizzas are clearly making everything with attention and pride. You can taste that “made with love” quality in every bite.
The only downside is there are no tables to eat inside and no restroom for customers, but I understand that might be how they keep the prices reasonable for everyone. I also had a great experience with the staff—a young Asian lady helped me (I forgot to ask her name), and she was very friendly and awesome to deal with.”
“This is one of the best places I have eaten period. I have never had 5 star cooking from a fancy chef like Bobby Flay or iron Chef Cat Cora. But I feel like if I did this should be the level of cooking I should get. The buttermilk biscuit and creole chicken with that honey and cream sauce was absolutely AMAZING.. Thank you for suck good food.”

“❤ Love this place, the food is beautiful and fresh and delicious, they are very careful and kind and conscientious about dietary needs, and the atmosphere in this lovely clean restaurant is cool and inviting and comfortable. Great service and staff, thank you for wonderful food and the Thai iced tea was delicious!”
“My daughter and her wife treated me to lunch here on Galentines Day. I highly recommend! The menu is a great mix of Mexican food, American food (I had a Denver omelette which was excellent), sandwiches and burgers and a great selection of sides. I highly recommend the baked brussels sprouts with bacon and a tasty glaze which we all shared. They serve beer and wine and a wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages. Compliments to the chef! Wendy our server was super sweet and attentive. It's a small, clean place with a chill vibe. Give it a try....you won't be disappointed!”

“We will be coming back! Great specialty coffee flavors, and the espresso itself is really flavorful.
Everything felt very balanced and nothing was overly sweet, and that includes the cream filled horn and the blueberry pastry with caramel underneath.
Wonderful service, as well. Super nice and friendly.
Roughly $50 after tip for two people, and 6 items. Two 16 oz drinks, two breakfast sandwiches, two pastries.”
“We found this place online, so we had no idea what to expect. The service was excellent from all members of the team, and the food was beautiful. We had soft shell crab and the most garlicy garlic shrimp you have ever had. The value for money was brilliant too. The restaurant has only been open about 8 months but based on our experience they can only go from strength to strength. Thank you Cloe and team!”
“Fantastic service for a party of 20 in the banquet room. The food was delicious and the waitress was so flexible and helpful. Even cutTing the birthday cake and returning a forgotten phone & credit card. Thanks for making my birthday perfect.”

“This is our favorite place to go for Mexican in the Burien area! A wonderful family owned place. Small, so sometimes it might be a little crowded depending on the day but still very handleable. No bar (however the Renton location has one.) but they have great drinks. Love their margaritas! Everyone that works here is so hospitable and sweet! Sometimes when I don't come in with my family I get teased. 😅 Our favorite items are the chicken chimichangas, the Durango burrito and the basic chicken burritos. Come on in you won't regret it!!”

“Delicious, Authentic & Super Clean! Absolutely love Royal Everest Cuisine! The food is 100% authentic Nepalese and Indian — full of flavor, fresh, and served hot. You can tell they really care about hygiene and quality. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Great customer service every time! Highly recommend for anyone craving real, home-style Indian or Nepalese food.”
“I had not been to Burien's Elliott Bay Brewing before but now that I have I have for sure a reason to go back, for the finest in Ale, Food and Service. My thanks to all for the wonderful experience. Our community does not compete for such a wonderful place to relax and socialize.”
“So good! We read through lots of reviews. Super mixed, but we have been driving by for a long time and furious. So we went anyway. Casual inside. There was us, a mother and daughter, a family, and a couple groups of guys. Sport screens, music that made me want to dance. Not overly loud, but the waitress was soft spoken. Kind, but soft spoken . The lady with her daughter recommended the jalea. Think Captain's platter, but with a foot long fish, buttery, delicious. Fried stuff on the outside was more fied chicken style than greasy fish and chips. Shrimp, scallops, octopus, mussel, clam, calamari, white corn, sauteed red onions, , tomato, lettuce, yucca fries. Enough food for two. Rich, flavorful. As someone who doesn't like tarter sauce, I used the salso. Oh yes! Great with chips- even better with the fish and seafood. Not your ordinary salsa. Yum! I could not identify the ingredients. Tomato? Bean? Tamarind? Spices unique and tasty. 21 for so much seafood My husband got the pan huelo? Think soup with a whole crab leg, octopus, scallops, shrimp, squid mussel, clam, fish, calamari. All in an orange sauce reminiscent of pumpkin and white sauce with tasty spices. Add the onion, cilantro, and lime. We didn't add the rice, Tasty rice, e licioys soup, though rich, so my husband at only 1/2 to 3/4, then "helped" me horchatta- less sweet than most. Yay! Flan we have not tried yet because we are still full. Lots of leftovers. Looking forward to eating them. Nice people. We will be back!”
“Absolutely phenomenal!!! It smells amazing as you walk in & the staff is friendly :)
The food is the perfect medley of flavors and very affordable for the portion size.”

“This is my favorite coffee shop, hands-down. They have great customer service, Ashlee and Kaitlin Genuinely care if you like your drink and trusting their suggestions when trying something new has led me to some of my favorite drinks. I genuinely cannot say enough, things about them and this location.”
“muy sabrosa la comida y la atención al cliente es súper biem son muy amables”

“One of our regular go-to pizza by-the-slice spots. Today the specials were extra exciting, but love how there is always a veggie option. Also great that you can now get Normie's on any slice. Caesar is also excellent if you want an infusion of more veggies. Quick in and out, come as you are and always leave full and happy. Cheat code is that you can take your pizza to Logan's for great beer.”

“I used to work here. I was fired over diagnosed mental health issues. I've been beat unconscious many times I have memory problems as a result. I forgot to set the timer and burned a tray of pies. The owner has a huge temper. There were times he refused to come out of the office and talk to customers Last I knew it's illegal to fire some one for diagnosed mental health issues. Please take your business elsewhere. Thank you.”
“Thanks for making the new beer Mirror's Edge in collaboration with our Burien Run Club (Burien Run Walk). It is really good! You are always friendly and this is just a great place for us to meet on Thursday nights. I can't recommend this establishment enough! shout out to Blake and to the brewer Michael. You are amazing!”
“I had a wonderful meal at Pigfish Cafe. I had a Hot Pastrami sandwich which was so so delicious. Ample pastrami with melted provolone and mayo. Also a large helping of fries. Great value, excellent service, very friendly, delicious food. Will definitely be going back.”

“Tuvimos una excelente velada y una riquísima cena, el lugar está agradable y el menú muy variado me encantó! Es difícil decidir que elegir entre tanto! La barra de salsa tiene más de 25 ingredientes para enriquecer tu comida, las salsas deliciosas, ambiente familiar, siempre busco ese sabor original en mis comidas y lo encontré! Además está Asando la carne frente a ti! Demaciado rico!”
“The owners are truly kind, grateful people. The food is fresh- I had a Poke bowl with Salmon and avocado, and it was FULL of good flavor. My kids were crazy about the BBQ Chicken- awesome portions and fantastic sweet/smoky flavor! My wife tried the Yakisoba, and loved all the vegetables. Very solid value for the buck- this is a great place to check out. Glad we made the drive from Woodinville!”
“We decided to grab some burgers while catching the World Cup, and it turned out to be such a great experience. The food was delicious, and the service was quick and efficient, making sure we got a great seat right away. The atmosphere was amazing — everyone was having a good time, which made the whole experience even better. The drinks were definitely something different, but surprisingly enjoyable.”

“We came in hungry from arriving at the airport and the place was perfect for what we needed - large portions, the one gentleman on staff was quick and attentative, and cooked delicious food. We were the only customers but the atmosphere was great with an old Fifa game on the TV and a clean area. Would highly recommend!”
“I’ve made it my Wednesday ritual to stop by this coffee stand every week, and I can’t compliment it enough. Every week I see the same barista Kayla, and her friendly attitude and quick wit genuinely make the experience so great that I can’t wait to come back the next week. The drinks are delicious and reasonable prices, and they have a rewards program to reward loyalty. I don’t like a lot of the coffee stands in the area, but this one specifically shines bright mainly due to Kayla’s conversation skills.”
“Drive thru was great. Fast and correct order delivered by friendly barista. Looks like there's some outside seating that is covered. We were just in the area for another reason and were looking for an alternative to Starbucks as they have recently changed their Chai latte and it tastes like water~”
“I gave you all five stars because everything came up perfect. Because of hot and moisture, but that's fine. I'm not too worried about it, but everything else, your Musubi of Spam and your Portuguese Sausage Musubi, was great. I stayed a little bit for that chicken burger, which was really good too. Everything else came out perfect. In fact, it was cheaper than Kent. The one in Kent restaurant was more expensive than the one in Burien, and also it was fresher, so people that will go to Burien would be better.”
“Delicious, Authentic & Super Clean! Absolutely love Royal Everest Cuisine! The food is 100% authentic Nepalese and Indian — full of flavor, fresh, and served hot. You can tell they really care about hygiene and quality. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Great customer service every time! Highly recommend for anyone craving real, home-style Indian or Nepalese food.”
“I really like the pizza here. The crust is not too thick or to thin and the toppings are good.
Reminds me of a hometown pizza place called Campanas over on the Peninsula my folks used to take us too as kids. Toppings were just enough of everything and good flavor. The house red wine is really smooth, restaurant itself is a old Burien school Italian vibe. I will be getting pizza from here again. One of of my top 3. Prices are pretty decent as well.”
Latest Reviews
“Ordering food from this McDs is like gambling, its completely random what you'll get: 1/3 the time they get your order right. 1/3 the time they get your order slightly wrong. 1/3 the time they give you something completely different. Examples: I ordered a 2 cheeseburger meal, and instead cheeseburgers, I got 2 hamburgers, and on them was a print-out-sicker that said "xtra salt, xtra pickles". One time they gave me FOUR large Hawaiian punches with my big mac meal for some reason (I just wanted a coke). Another time, I ordered spicy mcnuggets, and got a fish-o-fillet meal. Ordered 2 double cheeseburgers and 2 mcchikens and got: 2 big macs and 2 large fries. WORST: ordered 2 happy meals 2 apple pies. Check them on the way home, NO FRIES & no pies, went back (about 10 cars in line) waited 45min, they asked for receipt, and gave me a little back, I left the window stupidly out of habit, then got home NO FRIES.”

“Just like the name suggest. You get pizza with a twist. It amazing quality ingredients and amazing service. It is a clean and quiet environment. There are the traditional pizza items, salads and wings. You can get your curry, spicy and lamb as well. Looking forward to the next meal there. Getting a lamb calzone next time. It is Indian inspired at its finest. Loving it 100% This is my new family spot that will satisfy my bland needs and my kids spicy curry as well. To the gentleman at the counter today you are awesome and amazing. Thank you!!!!!!!”

“Stopped by for chicken nuggets and fries at 10:40ish AM. Fries and nuggets were luke warm on the colder side. Nuggets also tasted old. I will try again to see if it was a fluke. But since we came right at lunch you'd think everything would be fresh prepping for lunch rush. 🤷🏻♀”

“Steamy Shots was the first bikini barista stand I ever visited, and now I love to stop by on my way home from the airport when I get into town. The girls are always so friendly and wear fun & colorful outfits (though I have yet to see an actual bikini, no complaints here). The coffee has a pretty smooth / mild flavor, too - no burnt beans! My latte is usually about $10 — which is almost the same as sbx these days, tbh, but much better service! I’m happy to pay the slightly higher price for the experience. Will return!”
“Excelente servicio y la comida está deliciosa me encanta lo recomiendo al 100%”
