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!”

“I can’t say enough about this store. I was racing to a holiday event where these cookies were going to be a headliner desert and the store was closing. These amazing women waited 10min after closing so that I could get these amazing treats. I tried tipping them, for the professionalism and over the top customer service, and they declined my offer saying; ‘there’s no need sir, we are glad you made it safely and happy we could help make your event a success.’
I don’t write reviews ever, but I had to after the way these ladies treated me.

THANK YOU Crumbl!!!!!!!!”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“LOVE THIS PLACE HIDDEN GEM!!! DELICIOUS”

“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 place to workout and meet people that work out”

“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.”

“Yi’s Traditional Korean Beef Soup is a cozy spot serving up incredibly rich and comforting seolleongtang. The broth is slow-simmered to a creamy perfection, subtly seasoned so you can adjust it to your taste. Tender beef, hearty portions, and crisp house-made kimchi make every bowl feel like a warm hug. Simple, authentic, and deeply satisfying.”

“Quick date with my husband on a Saturday around 6 pm. We didn’t have reservations but were able to grab a table. The Quattro formaggi pizza is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten. The drinks were good, the service was excellent. Highly recommend.”

“In my rating, this one is the best in the area. Not only good for superb taste and the quality of the traditional beef soup, but also the staff's superb service and attitude absolutely impressed an old Korean goat like me. I am very satisfied. You really should come to this restaurant!”

“awesome.. love this place.”

“My Husband and i eat here nearly once every week. The owner Yoko is inviting and friendly. The food is very delicious! Itadakimasu!~ Many thanks for the wonderful meals, Always worth it! My favorites: + Pan Fried gyoza; delicious,crispy, perfect. + My husband orders the Miso soup, It's the most flavorful miso we have tried. + My husband loves the curry ramen, I always enjoy sipping some of the broth too! very flavorful and warming. (I think they used to be called I <3 Curry! So this fusion is wonderful!) + Okonomiyaki; beautiful and delicious. +Tonkatsu Curry is very delicious! i order this the most +Curry pork fried rice special over the summer is very delicious! I always ask if they'll still make it for me.(and am very grateful when they do!)”

“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”

“Great coffee at a “real“ coffee shop. The vibe is cozy and I appreciate having a place in the area where you can go and sit. They serve poverty bay coffee which is yummy, and have some pastries and breakfast sandwiches too.”

“Great food fast service good atmosphere”

“Alexis is a great waitress the menu was good”

“I’ve coming here for many years since their grand opening. Lots of things changed as far as their menu goes, and interior is somewhat outdated, but one thing never changed is their service level. They are all very friendly and attentive at all times. I’m Korean and I’ve eating k-bbq my entire life. Meat quality is not the greatest, but with their current ayce price point, it’s more than fair. We drive 30 miles from north end just to eat here even though their Bellevue location is right next to us. To make our trip worth, we go to daebak wang Mando and little bakery located inside Hmart afterward every time. This location is my favorite spot in entire Washington state.”

“The Korean chicken spot in a 15 mile radius. The menu is vast with many delicious foods to try and the staff is the best in town. Always working fast and as effiecient as possible to make the job done smoothly and quick. If you want to try, please try this. 1lb of Sweet and Sour Chicken, 1lb of Sweet and Spicy Chicken, and Rice Cake with Ramen for three or more friends, that is a great meal at $60 that will fill you up.”

“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 consistently good! The waiting time wasn't bad for a Friday night, took about 10 minutes to get a table . Parking was a challenge, though . Service was top notch super friendly staff .”

“The dumplings were great. We tried the spicy cold noodles, kimchi dumplings, pork dumplings, seafood noodle soup, and pan-fried dumplings, everything was fresh and made to order, but our top pick was their kimchi dumplings.”

“Had a great experience ordering to-go from Magic Wok. Was in town just for a quick work trip and stumbled across this place. Food was good, very hot when picked up, and tasted fresh! Great options for vegetarians, which was wonderful because that isn’t often the case. Ordered vegetarian egg flower soup, veggie spring roll, and orange tofu.”

“It was fantastic our waiter was wonderful”

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend”

“Ordered the vegetarian dinner for two directly through their website. The dinner was ready for pickup promptly at the appointed time. The servings were generous. Spice levels were good. I wasn’t able to specify spice level so I anticipated blandness but was pleasantly surprised. Their daal was phenomenal. Definitely was worth more than the value paid. Will come back again”

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

“We spent a delightful evening eating fabulous food and conversing with very attentive and caring staff. The Punjabi fare was delicately prepared and spiced to our exact individual wishes! Just wonderful!”

“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!”

“I finally got my Del Taco fix since moving to Texas. You need location there in Houston. I’m from California originally”

“Ok, I was dragged there after a long flight, into the corporate cement tunnels and boxes that comprise Federal Way and much of the once beautiful state of Washington. This place was recommended by the least seedy hotel guy; nearby, bright lights, drive through or sit down. The bean burrito was glued down with cheese. The tacos are what you want. Authentic and delicious. On a whim I asked for churros. They are A. Maz. Ing. Hot, crispy sugared outside, soft creamy inside.”

“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.”

“I love this coffee stand. this is my daily place to get my coffee and the baristas are fantastic. I always get the same thing and they all know my order, they're friendly and knowledgeable and always good for a chat. They keep cool and stay friendly even when the line is wrapped around the parking lot, and they're quick and efficient when it's packed without sacrificing the good vibes.It starts my day off right every time, whether I come through at 7 am or 2 pm. thanks yall ?”

“This McDonald's has amazing employees that are very respectful to the customers coming through the drive-thru thank you keep up the great work also at this McDonald's are there onions are perfectly okay to eat!”

“I went in at 9 o’clock at night ordered my food. There was a miscommunication about the price and what I ordered got home and realized I didn’t have everything that I thought I’d ordered went back and explained it to the manager or who I’m assuming was the manager and he took care of me without question did a great job Big thumbs up to these guys. Customer service was awesome. Definitely will be back.”

“Was there today for a meeting. The owner was super friendly. The scone was delicious and the ice water was tasty 🤭. I highly recommend this place.It has a chill vibe to just hang out and relax or just grab something to drink.”

“Love their KBBQ & service”

“Fantastic food! Everything we had was so good! Service was outstanding.....very friendly people. Restaurant was very clean and cute inside. We will most definitely go here again.”

“I have passed this place daily and never thought to stop in until today. Don’t be put off by the area - inside is nice and the food is amazing

Great service and really extensive menu.

Do yourself a favor and go in. It’s a really great restaurant!”

“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.”

“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++”

“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!”

“Small little burger joint, but really good and surprisingly cheap. Highly recommend if your in the area

Vegetarian options: Wife had a veggie burger and she really enjoyed it”

“The food was incredible! I got the Kimchi fries with beef bolgogi. It was so good! I highly recommend this dish! You have order your food on a computer screen, which was lame and impersonal, so it looses point for service, but that's nitpicking at best. I highly recommend this place!”

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

“The chili rellenos were really good.”

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

“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.”

“The grape cheese foam drink is my favorite boba drink in Federal Way, I usually hate grape flavored anything but decided to try it since I've never seen grape flavored drinks. I don't regret it, it's super yummy. My sister got the strawberry frostie with cheese foam, also a great choice!”

“Amazingly generous place. Great service regardless of dine in or take out. They took care of our order to go and blessed us with miso soup that we didn't order. Very giving restaurant. Recommend them highly. I've never had a bad meal from them. Golden Gate is one of my favorites.”

“Went for the first time yesterday while walking my cat. They were very welcoming and let me bring my cat in ( she was in a stroller). I then ordered a coffee and Carmel blended drink and it was so amazing. I went back again today because it’s so good. This is now one of my favorite places! 😊”

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

“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”

“Update: since my last visit, the facilities have been updated and refreshed. Same great atmosphere, food and service!

Really fresh food, cooked to order. A little pricier than fast food, and be prepared to wait (esp. at the drivethru). Only place I've found in Federal Way that has buffalo burgers on the menu!”

“buen ambiente y muy buena comida”

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

“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. Started with the military ave location for 2 decades; now live closer to Twin Lakes location off of 320th and appreciate how quick and remember my drink/food order.”

“Wow Veronica was absolutely amazing! She made sure I had everything in my order and was so patient and helpful with everything else! She’s the best I love this location”

“Fresh fresh fresh! This is the best and most authentic Mexican food around! The birria is to die for. We love all the fresh vegetables. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful if you have any questions about the menu.”

“I highly appreciate the team at JSE. They are consistently friendly, kind, and professional. I am delighted to have this excellent coffee shop as a regular stop in my neighborhood”

“Cajun fried rice, bacon wrapped shrimp, friendly staff, (and customers😃). We will be back!”

“Good place with decent food. There are nice people working at this restaurant. The service was good but it takes a while if you need to order the food there and wait. Best to do is call in and pick up.

Food wise, the macaroni salad needs a bit more salt and seasoning. It’s a bit dense and does not have much taste to it. I asked that the egg be over easy, but they are a bit overcooked. I think the overcook came from the warm meat in the To-go box it ended up cooking the eggs a bit more than I like. The meat was fantastic just needs more gravy to finish the food.

I’ll come back for something different.”

“awesome and my favorite pizza”

“5 out of 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~always clean ~fresh food that's always full ~friendly staff ~easy parking one of my favorite places for lunch & dinner! went today 3/7/24 to honor the 1 year passing of my mom. she loved going to jasmine!”

“Great place with amazing food and people that work there are always so friendly”

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

“The burgers are very delicious and excellent price I will return

Parking: This is where they get the licenses from

Kid-friendliness: Yeah

Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah”

“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!”

“This is a very good Ivar's location. The staff were very courteous and helpful, and the food was very good. I ordered the Jumbo Prawns (shrimp) with chips/fries, they were exceptional. If you want some quick and delicious seafood, this is a great choice.”

“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.!!”

“the best lunch I've had in a while.”

“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!”

“The food was amazing and I was given a really good amount for just 12 bucks. I would have attached a photo but I destroyed it before I could even think about snapping a picture lol. The guy at the counter was super friendly, and when he saw my uniform he said he would make my food asap so I would have time to eat before my break was over. They were just generally super nice and I even saw them offering free samples to people. I 100% recommend and will be returning.”

“La comida extraordinaria, pero ayer en nuestra visita nos sentimos muy incomodos, deberian ser claros con sus horarios de servicio, llegamos a las 8:10 cuando indican q cierran a las 9 y solo se nos permitió pedir para llevar, sin condimentos suficientes al llegar a casa. Unos clientes antes q nosotros tuvieron q comer afuera en el frio porque tampoco se les permitió adentro. Siempre habia tenido una muy buena experiencia porque la comkda es realmente buena pero anoche si fue muy incomodo.... Cabe mencionar que salimos con nuestro pedido listo a las 8:30pm media hora antes del Cierre marcado.... Ojo ahí con la atención al público... BELLINGHAM.”

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

“The shop was quiet and pretty chilling!!! ✨✨✨ I love it and I wish I come back if I don’t move to another state this week!! ?? thank you so much for the delicious food!!! ❤️”

“This is a great sports bar/restaurant. The breakfast sandwich is delicious; however, they don't open until 10:30. I'm a fan of the reuben, as well. Their chips and salsa are the best around, serving fresh, warm chips and spicy salsa. And the salads are tasty, too. Don't be discouraged if the parking lot looks full: there is a large lot for additional parking in back.”

“My daughter and I go there and eat on Saturday's might add she loves the chicken adobo. I myself tried few dishes and tlaga masarap àng luto nla. Kudos to the chef. Very friendly rin and cashier always smiling. We will dif.go again and again.”

“I amazed how incredibly tasty this thick broth onnthis ramen join. Noodle like hand made quality , even i didnt see how they make it. The pork melt in the mount , ridicilously underrated. Came w fam , i am telling everyone , u dont go.to the other place ... please :) , quality broth , great quality meat

3rd visit”

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“My wife and I enjoyed a wonderfully prepared Dbl cheese burger, cheese burger and fries. For desert we enjoyed a large serving of mint chocolate chip ice cream. The staff were very engaging and the facility was spotless. I highly recommend you check out this drive in for yourself!”

“So the place is pretty much clean the service is crap we came here on Valentine's Day with our whole family I've been coming here for a very long time and never really had any complaints until this evening I had a person who was serving the grill be rude to us I had the person at the front desk route to us then around 7:35 my husband was grabbing some thing to drink with his dinner and I had a waitress be rude to him and tell him that this area was closed excuse me I think it says it closes at 8:00 p.m. not 7:30 when your waitress wants to clean it never in my life have I ever been so upset I took my family and left.. rolling your eyes at customers not a good thing I was totally about to give you guys a four-star for the food the food was mediocre okay you didn't have any food after 6:00 the main attraction was supposedly gone I paid $70 for crap leftovers and I'm super pissed”

“No frills Korean BBQ. The meat is on an island. You select what you want and cook it. There are other side dishes. I pretty much stuck to the galbi, marinated beef ribs. I’m stuffed myself.”
