Restaurants in Federal Way

“Sooooo happy to finally find an authentic Cambodian only restaurant near me! The papaya salad and skewers were amazing and beautifully plated, got my spicy fix today! Anytime I’m in Federal Way you’ll find me there!”

“Shari is the best !!!! I love her service she made me feel welcomed and had a big smile . I was comfortable and. Tipped her very well. If anyone need a raise is for her compassion at work !!! Let’s Go SHARI !!!!”

“i really like crumbl, their workers are really nice to me. When it was my first time there i mentioned it to a worker and she told me how the system works and whats in the cookie.”

“Really great burger! Not like regular burgers. Fresh ingredients and bread. Unique sauce. Killer fries. highly recommended!”

“First visit was great from ordering to the last bite! Fresh ingredients and plentiful portions!”

“We have been there a couple of times. Everything has been excellent. Prices are comparable to other sushi restaurants in the area. Our only complaint is the tea is a bit week. Still deserves 5 stars.”

“Had garlic and asian zhing wings both delicious, crunchy and not too spicy. Perfect! Will be back again to try other items, but have already found my go to wings!!!”

“Great banh mi place with a good drinks selection. I've been here before and gotten several of their sandwiches but prefer their BBQ pork one! Their Vietnamese iced coffee is strong and I loved it.”

“If you were looking for excellent Greek food, this is the place to go! The hummus, Gyro meat, chicken and rice are the best around! The owner is extremely friendly and proud of what he does! His food and delivery show it!”

“The server came at the end staring at all the pots / bowl absolutely cleaned out — that’s how much we loved the food here. The surprising standout dish was the spicy sashimi cold noodle… what a refreshing dish for the summer and they’re very generous with the sashimi serving. Will definitely come back.”

“I went to the Dunwoody, Georgia location at lunchtime today (11/17/25). I let the cashier know that it was my 1st time trying Super Chix and he comped my frozen custard with oreo pieces! That act of kindness had me in tears as I was emotional about the bad news I received about my husband's cancer earlier in the day. Thank you for adding sunshine to my day! I will be back!”

“im vietnamese was craving viet rice dishes and been looking for a good viet restaurant. Found Pho My Chau 2; one of the most legit and best vietnamese places in fedway.”

“What a great find! Amazing healthy delicious food!!!! Wonderful staff, great view of the water! I HIGHLY recommend. Very affordable and reasonable. Can't wait to go back!”

“We were at Red Robin today for lunch with 2 birthday's in our party and we had an amazing experience. We were very happy with our waiter Zachary. He was very accommodating even if things were running a little slow. Thank you for a fantastic lunch experience Red Robin 😊 very satisfied”

“LOVE THIS PLACE HIDDEN GEM!!! DELICIOUS”

“This place has authentic Italian and pizza. We had tortellini with pesto sauce and seafood risotto and both were amazing. Dessert was orange dreamsicle cheesecake and it was melt in your mouth delicious. Pizza was better than any other pizza we've had. It was a little loud with all the people chatting and kind of hard to hear but the place is beautiful with a view of the bay. Can't wait to go back.”

“Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse. My wife and I went there for lunch, and I’ll tell you what, that was the best meal I have had in a long time at a restaurant. Definitely going back again. I would invite and encourage everyone to go and visit. The Hospitality was great, good vibes. I recommend you go there. #JimmyMacsRoadhouse”

“This may be the only locally-owned coffeehouse in Federal Way. We love their Breakfast Bagels, they serve local roasts, and the owners are lovely. Definitely recommend.”

“So frickin good! The lemon pepper sauce is incredible. The crab was perfect, the service was friendly and fun and I will definitely be back. The crab pot cant touch this spot.”

“Delicious food, great happy hour and such a nice server”

“Absolutely delicious. My first time having traditional Japanese Ramen. Huge portions, great umami flavor, affordable prices. Definitely recommend and will be back again”

“Alexis is a great waitress the menu was good”

“Upon entering, you're met with K-Pop music, along with other Korean aesthetics. The chicken is absolutely phenomenal. Crispy outside, moist meat, and flavorful sauces. Prices are industry standard, so no suprises there. Late hours, plus a bar inside the restaurant make it an excellent stop at the end of the work day, or just for a bite with friends. A recommended visit.”

“I had people talking this place up and it was better than the hype. Kyoung, Yunita, Jesse, and Jane made sure we had anything we needed and the food was incredible! I can't wait to come back!”

“Laid back place. Yummy king buns. Our favorite was the kimchi pork buns. Spicy cold noodles on a hot day felt refreshing. Bone broth was nourishing and tasty too. Perfect for a quick bite n needs something filling but not too heavy.”

“Lots of meat options! You must try everything. They also have lots of sushi options.. surprising very delicious. Good service over all. They were all very helpful and nice.”

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend”

“What a great place to eat and be merry! Service and food were top notch! With a very comfortable positive atmosphere and good company it's really hard to beat! Will do it again for sure!! Enjoy it for your self soon, you won't be disappointed!!

“Great service, great food.... love this place🥰”

“I wasnt feeling well a d had an urge for something spicy. I ordered phad thai at the spiciest and have to say that it was DELICIOUS! I usually have to add spice, but it was the perfect amount (for me, my husband not so much lol) and the flavor was AMAZING! I am definitely going to eat from here again soon!”

“Always a great meal with fast, professional, curteous, friendly and attentive staff. One of my favorites for lunch or bruch restaraunts. Good prices. Always a 5 Star from me.”

“Love the food and environment. I sometimes walk here during my work lunch. Food so good, makes you wanna cheat on your main lunch that your significant other made you!!”

“Love Del taco. Dislike how they forget food items often. Tired of paying for food we don’t receive in our orders.”

“Okay, I love the coffee drinks are always really really good. But if there is more than 2 cars in line I go to JSE or Starbucks because you will be waiting forever. The shortage of coffee in our area is apparent when you see the crazy lines at this Bigfoot. I feel bad for the ladies working but it is so unbelievably slow sometimes! Sometimes it is absolutely worth it though!”

“I've been going to this McDonald's for a very long time. Over 20+ yrs. This McDonalds is definitely one of the best branches within its area. Usually quick in and out service, and it's uncommon for them to make a mistake. If they do make a mistake, it's dealt with quickly and efficiently, without any arguments.”

“It was busy and I don’t know what the food tastes like”

“I had miso ramen, orange chicken and yuzu lemonade.

Ramen broth was delicious, the fresh lemonade was amazing and the generous side of orange chicken was better than any orange chicken Ive ever had.

Authentic tokyo gacha machines in the front with a bright, clean interior, and well spaced seating.”

“Came in for dinner and food and service were GREAT! Staff were very hospitable and friendly especially Tanisha! Can't wait to come back! Thanks Black Bear!”

“So delicious and feels so healthy. And kimchi is one of the few foods that makes me wish I could tolerate spicy food, so I didn't have much of it, but still some small pieces. If anything, I wish there was a non-spicy vegetable side.”

“First time eating at Nami Sushi, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the small boat, which has 20 different items in the boat and 3 different kinds of rolls. We also ordered the tempura calamari and Agedashi with a side of Japanese beer (large bottle of Asahi). The wait staff are attentive and checked on us multiple times. The restaurant is clean and tables are nicely spaced apart, tables are cleaned immediately. The decor of this restaurant is pretty cool and unusual. We will definitely be back. Thanks Nami Sushi!”

“awesome.. love this place.”

“When I first moved to the neighborhood, this was the very first place my awesome neighbors recommended… and I’m so glad they did! The food is delicious, the service friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and unpretentious.
It has become the place my family looks forward to eating when they visit, and where my partner and I go when we need a little treat (or order takeout from when we need a little comfort).

My personal favorite is the Rama Noodles, because the pan-fried noodles are perfectly tender and chewy with exceptional flavor, and the peanut sauce… I mean, I would honestly lick the plate afterwards if I had only slightly less dignity!

That said, everything we’ve ordered from there has been top-tier. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve been away from the area for a couple of years. I wondered in to the Tacoma downtown location today and was entirely blown away by this incredibly designed space. The menu! The employees! The vibe! Is this the most beautiful vibe I’ve ever had with my coffee!!? Yes, I think so. Goodness they couldn’t have done a better job with this place😍”

“my son told me to try the tonkatsu ... and he was absolutely tastier and juicier right👍👍”

“It’s crazy because the I usually don’t go for vegetarian options when it comes to eating at burger places, but the veggie garden burgers here taste fire (coming from someone who eats meat often). I only come here for their veggie garden burgers and fried zucchini. Their portions are huge, and their milkshakes taste delicious! Definitely a neighborhood staple! I can’t speak for the rest of the stuff of the menu, but they are communicative and effective when you call for takeout.”

“Amazing family owned restaurant. The service here is phenomenal and so personable. The food I'd delicious and always prepared so well. This has become a favorite of mine recently. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing bubble tea and excellent customer service! The drinks are fresh, delicious, and made perfectly every time. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves bubble tea. I will definitely come back again!”

“Busy, but friendly and efficient staff handled it well, so not too long waiting. Well worth it for the nice frosty coffee drinks!😀”

“when my friends lived in Federal Way this was our go to spot. ICE COLD beer, pull tabs and fabulous nachos and Cobb salad. Fabulous staff. Got to say I miss Stella!”

“Why are their burgers so dang good??! They taste and look homemade. When you get something like the monster burger it's stacked big like making one at home. I wanted to try the other food, but can't help but order the burger every time I go. Next time I'll get a photo and add here. The place is small so the environment encourages take out. There a few tables and a bathroom. The people are nice and they will have your order reasonably fast.”

“really good .. quick with orders ...& good customer service”

“The lady was very quick to handle our service and was able to bring the food out in a good time. Jajangmyeon was great. Even gave me a apron as I was wearing white great service.”

“Very Tasty � i loved it and the employees made me feel very important �”

“� Love everything � !!! Bakery Heaven at H mart. Everything is amazing..., beautifully displayed and scrumptious. ������”

“Lovely spot, very friendly staff, but it took more than 45minutes to get a croffle, some taiyaki, and a Chai latte. Not good for a quick visit if you want a bite. The latte took about 20 minutes and there were only 2 people in front of us.”

“Stopped by the coffee shop for a quick pick-me-up, and it was decent. The espresso was good, but the vibe felt a bit too rushed for my taste. Still a nice spot if you need your caffeine fix on the go.”

“I had the opportunity to be helped by a wonderful woman named Veronica, who works here extremely kind, extremely understanding and knows how to do a job I came in and it was very clean and smelled delicious. I will always come back to this location. I truly recommend anyone stopping if you’re near for good bite and a good environment with good people.”

“My best friend and I found this place one night when we were hungry and wanting to try something new. The atmosphere is really laid back. They are open late and the customer service is some of the best I’ve ever had!!!”

“I love the shrimp tacos. Very clean and good atmosphere. Friendly service.”

“buen ambiente y muy buena comida”

“Love their KBBQ & service”

“Food is without a Doubt second to none. The unique combination/fusion of flavors is easy on the palate and leaves wanting more.”

“They have the best chili must say I travel from Everett Washington once a week just to get their chili is it our way but it’s well worth it and I like the bar as well”

“Fire AF!! Always good to eat here!”

“I go to this Jumpstart every single day and I'm always greeted with smiles and great service. I remember, after only two times coming here London already had my drink memorized and it takes only a couple minutes for me to get my espresso! I would highly encourage her supervisors to consider a raise! We need livable wages in our communities and coffee is surely one of those thing I would be happy to pay another 50¢ for if it means the lovely staff makes a better hourly wage! Thank you Jumpstart ladies for making the start to my day perfect, every time :)”

“Delicious food. Pad Thai is as good as anywhere I have been. Fresh Spring were excellent too. Fantastic.”

“Everett Ivars Seafood is Clean and professional staff. 5 star”

“The strawberry and cream cheese croffle is amazing. You can’t go wrong with either the strawberry or Oreo bingsu either. Every single macaroon is amazing and is double the filling of a regular macaroon. The flavors are fun and they all look too cute or pretty to eat. All of the signature drinks are to die for and the teas are spot on delicious!”

“This place is so good!! Wish they were open on the weekend”

“Food is always good and prices are reasonable”

“First time eating here. Cute little shop with lots of delicious looking meal options. We ended up getting meat lovers fries ( choose both meats, it was delicious), 2 dumpling plates. One hot flavored mandu,( nice and hot, covered in sauce but I wanted more salt, smaller in size and more crunch), the other was corn cheese mandu,( favorite of the two, more crunch and it would have been perfect). Server was nice, brought us ice for our canned soda. I'd definitely eat here again.”

“BOZ BURGER. This is hands down, the most delicious burger anywhere around.

However... Please keep an eye on your ketchup squeeze bottles. Last couple times we were there, it had gone rancid, smelled and tasted bad.”

“Tacos never disappoint! Jalapeño+ hot sauce! My favorite, every time!”

“The food here is delicious and healing! We first visited after a recommendation from another Korean friend. Gamjatang is a favorite whenever I visit Korea and this is the only place I’ve found in North America that makes it so good! My girlfriend got the hangover soup both times and it was also really good. Their soondae and banchan are likewise great and all their food is quite generously portioned.

We visited again with a 40 minute drive and were looking forward to coming back!”

“I finally found good Mexican food that’s authentic in federal way. I found them while it was walking with Siri and I got their tamales that are Rajas with queso OMG They were so incredibly good. I give up buying tamales quite a while ago because I couldn’t find any good ones. They have great ones and they Agua is awesome. I can’t wait to go back for a torta ahogada!! I haven’t had one since I was in GDL!! Check them out they close a little early. She said 7 PM. They are so good.!!”

“L&L saved the day for catering! This was for my dad's memorial service. One medium pan is definitely enough food to feed 24 people. I had 24 people at the event and was unsure about the size so I got medium pan of beef short ribs, a medium pan of bbq chicken, and a medium of rice. There is so much food left over! Anyway, the service was really good and the guy behind the counter brought the box of food out to my car.

Thank you so much!”

“the best lunch I've had in a while.”

“My 1st time at this place. Nice lil cozy atmosphere. 1st trying the empanadas, I give it a 5 out of 10 rating. It just needs to be seasoned, the crunchiness was on point. I loved the lumpia’s, they actually are better than the empanadas. Friendly place.”

“Food as close to being on the Island as you can get. Best mac salad and great atmosphere too!”

“¡Está como para chuparse los dedos!”

“We had an early dinner yesterday and had such a great experience, from the kind owner, who ran the whole place by herself during that time, to the food, to the cleanliness. Everything was fresh. The place is clean from kitchen to dining area to the restroom.

The food was delicious, but we were in such a rush that I forgot to take photos of the food we ordered: grilled pork banh mi, bun bo hue, and kids pho with tofu. The tofu seemed freshly made. Everything was delicious!

The prices were reasonable and affordable.

We will surely be back to try other dishes as well.”

“Great food and great service from Jasmine! I will return just for her service and being my/our waitress. Very outgoing and I could have talked with her instead if eating dinner. And she introduced us to her son. What a nice person!”

“The food was delicious and came out fast.. However our server Jay was quick and friendly towards us. He has been our server multiple times and never fails to make us laugh”

“Interior of Aji Koharu is calming and shelters customers from the rush of traffic on Hwy 99. The food was excellent: well prepared, presentation of various items enhanced the meal, the flavor and texture of the variety of sashimi was each distinct and appreciated. The portions are generous and thank goodness fulfilling of the appetite of our adolescent boys. The adults were also pleased by the generous portions which some of them shared with the young men. Happy diners all around. Some suggestions: music can be less intrusive and unavailable menu items need to be communicated to customers before they look at the menu to make their selection. This can spare disappointment of customer and avoid lost/waste of time for wait staff and customer. We'll share our delight with Aji Koharu with our friend groups and we have made plans to return for more if the excellent dishes at Aji Koharu.”

“33 years ago, my new wife introduced me to Vinces. In her previous marriage, Vinces in Renton was the family go to. One bite of Vinces pizza and I was hooked. The only negative is Vince's pizza has spoiled me to every other pizza place in the area. Vinces pizzas are Neapolitan style......much, much better (in my humble opinion) than any other pizza's. Vince's is the place our family always meets for special occasions. We have always been treated very well. My 9 year old grandson told me Vince's pepperoni pizza is his favorite.....it happens to be my favorite too. Writing this I'm starting to crave a pizza! Their other menu offerings are equally excellent. A year or so ago, we stopped for lunch. Out of the blue, I ordered one of their Italian Hero's. I will say it was the absolute BEST Sub/Hero/Grinder I had ever eaten. If you have not been to Vinces, so yourself a favor and try it. You might find you have a new favorite pizza/pasta place. A++”

“Had garlic and asian zhing wings both delicious, crunchy and not too spicy. Perfect! Will be back again to try other items, but have already found my go to wings!!!”

“Best pho place anywhere!!! Have never been disappointed here. There's only one thing this restaurant needs to improve on... August 20 I saw the girl with the black glasses that's usually always there snacking behind the counter and then she actually service some food to there table. This disturbs me greatly and she needs to NOT snack where customers can see her.....”

“My wife pretty much dislikes teriyaki chicken. However, in a moment of weakness, she said yes to it this time. Since we moved recently, I looked around for a well rated Teriyaki restaurant near us, and Teriyaki house came up. Well, she loved it (and so did I!) but did not care for the sauce. So next time I went in, I asked for the chicken without the sauce, just on the side. Since then, this has been the only place we go for take out. The quality of the food is the best out of all the other Teriyaki places we tried and the couple who own the place are wonderful. I would love to spend a few days in the kitchen watching how this wonderful chef makes these dishes. I've tried several of the other offerings and they are just as excellent as the teriyaki. I look forward to trying more of their fabulous offerings. Highly recommended.”

“We've been going there for at least 25 years --from when we moved to Fed Way --and the food is consistently delicious. The lady is not comfortable in English, so can come off as rude!”

“This place is so good!! Wish they were open on the weekend”

“Shari is the best !!!! I love her service she made me feel welcomed and had a big smile . I was comfortable and. Tipped her very well. If anyone need a raise is for her compassion at work !!! Let’s Go SHARI !!!!”

“Great banh mi place with a good drinks selection. I've been here before and gotten several of their sandwiches but prefer their BBQ pork one! Their Vietnamese iced coffee is strong and I loved it.”

“Came in for dinner and food and service were GREAT! Staff were very hospitable and friendly especially Tanisha! Can't wait to come back! Thanks Black Bear!”

“i really like crumbl, their workers are really nice to me. When it was my first time there i mentioned it to a worker and she told me how the system works and whats in the cookie.”

“What a great place to eat and be merry! Service and food were top notch! With a very comfortable positive atmosphere and good company it's really hard to beat! Will do it again for sure!! Enjoy it for your self soon, you won't be disappointed!!

“The om cheese was so cheesy and the fries had cheese too. Delicious. The side salad was incredibly fresh. Elodia brought out our food fast and repeated our order to us. Danny, the manager, was around the dining room checking on guest.”

“You can go to the counter to order, but it is faster to use one of the six kiosk to pla e your order and pay, then just wait for your recipient number to be called and enjoy your food.”

“My #1 place to go eat every Friday the burgers are amazing the way the burger is made just perfect can’t go wrong never always warm and ready to go plus the fries are yummy and the milkshakes incredible.”

“Absolutely delicious. My first time having traditional Japanese Ramen. Huge portions, great umami flavor, affordable prices. Definitely recommend and will be back again”

“The food was delicious and came out fast.. However our server Jay was quick and friendly towards us. He has been our server multiple times and never fails to make us laugh”

“Sooooo happy to finally find an authentic Cambodian only restaurant near me! The papaya salad and skewers were amazing and beautifully plated, got my spicy fix today! Anytime I’m in Federal Way you’ll find me there!”

“The folks working at this Chic Fil A are awesome. We took our two kids here for lunch and we're greeted warmly by first - the gal at the counter and then the gal cleaning the tables Gloria. She is awesome! She took the time to introduce herself and was very engaging with us and the kids. In a world that can be... rather cold, it is nice to experience humanity. Kudos to this location for employing awesome people!”

“BOZ BURGER. This is hands down, the most delicious burger anywhere around.

However... Please keep an eye on your ketchup squeeze bottles. Last couple times we were there, it had gone rancid, smelled and tasted bad.”

“Have had the lunch special several times now. The food is fresh and the sauces are very flavorful. I highly recommend the Mongolian Beef, the Kung Pao Chicken, and the Pork and green beans. The special includes soup and an egg roll. Both the hot and sour and the won ton soups are some of the best I've had. What a great deal for such delicious food. Will definitely be back!”

“This is a cozy hole-in-the-wall hidden gem in Federal Way above the Palace Spa. Go up the stairs on the side of the building across the street from Jasmine Mongolian Grill - there is a small banner. Ring the doorbell and you'll be welcomed in by the friendly owner whose craft and joy of cooking Ukrainian and Polish dishes really comes through. He's happy to answer any questions about the dishes if you are unfamiliar with this cuisine (like me). Keep these kinds of places alive in Federal Way, they are the real deal!”

“As a Korean who was born and raised in S.K and I know what authentic Korean Chinese food is like, this place is REAL.
Not only is their food so good, but our waitress Vy was on top of everything. When we went here, it was pretty occupied but she served us so nicely that we didn't have to ask a thing.

I would def come back! If anyone is doubtful about this place, just trust me and enjoy their good food🩷🩷🩷”

“The service is amazing. This is owned by the old owners of Toreros in the commons. I have been coming here since childhood and the food here is always impeccable and delicious. Authentic Mexican food with amazing people running the business”

“Tried Bibim Express today and it was such a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. You can really taste the quality in every bite, and the portions were generous too. The staff was kind and welcoming, making the whole visit even better. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving delicious Korean food in the area!”

“Everyone that walked in are greeted with a smile from the servers. They're helpful and patience with questions.
I usually have a favorite but when I feel adventurous, their recommended drinks are always on point for the mood I'm in.
I love the atmosphere of this new place and everything on their menu are so yummy, it's hard to believe it's healthy 😊 but it is.”

“I love me some good food but I love interpersonal connection even more! This place has both. Excellent service and delicious food. Those hush puppies are fire. They also sell local honey if you’re like me and love some honey on them. They also have sea moss! If you haven’t gone yet, go on ahead and get over there. 🫶🏽”

“Amazing Salvadorian food. We had a couple of things, but I have to highlight their Pollo Guisado....yummy! the flavors were perfect.”

“I love this place!! Best Korean fried chicken i’ve had, really good flavors, good crisp, and their cheese and herb fries are bomb! Love this place and will be coming back!!”

“Everything here is good even the customer service. they always greet you with a smile.”

“Everything I had was delicious, generous portions, friendly staff I will definitely be back again”

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!”

“Come here instead of Chipotle. Chipotle has been raising prices and giving you way less meat. Here you still get guac/queso for no extra charge, and they arent just giving you a burrito full of rice”

“I’ve been eating here for so long and there’s a reason why we always come back! Chicken is super fresh, not frozen, well battered and fry to perfection! The flavor is always on point too! Creamy udon can be a hit or miss because sometimes it’s perfect, sometimes too salty. The half and half and the boneless onion cream chicken are my recommendation, as well as the corn cheese! Fish cake soup also good but the broth can be better! Only down point is they don’t do reservations so either you have to come early or it’s gonna be a long wait :(”

“I was surprised at how big this coffee shop was. They have a loft up above and it is very cozy and welcoming.
They have outlets, which is nice for charging your devices, as well as a very clean restroom”
