Restaurants in Issaquah

“We had dinner here for the first time and it was superb! Lucy, our server, listened to our needs, explained the specials and menu. I'm gluten intolerant and she helped me be successful in my choices. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, the food is incredible. Preparations and tastes that were exciting. This was one of the best meals we've had in some time. We will be back.”

“Reasonable prices. Service and food are excellent. Been there twice with the same server, Linda, who is excellent. Food comes out fast, too!”

“Can we talk about the onion rings. I make the trip to Malarky's SPECIFICALLY for them. Generous serving, yet, have no intention of sharing them, so we always get two or three! Fun dive-ish bar (in a good way) feel, where people like to pile in to watch a game and get pitchers 🍺 It's fun if you're not looking for some pinkies up atmosphere. Friends. Noise. Food. Fun.”

“They care about our community and have excellent support for small business”

“You can smell the freshness of the meat and veggies while they are preparing your food. Everything is fresh and cooked perfectly, no shortcuts.
The owners are a wonderful couple who are friendly and take care of guests, whether you stay and have a seat or are getting things on the run.”

“Fantastic food, patient/polite waiters, great ambience, super polite hosts clean & fresh...Masthi is great place for groups of whether 5 or 50....Kudos to this place!”

“Ordered the Sunset Cheeseburger with loaded tots as the side. Burger was flavorful, fit the bun, and the the bun was delicious. Also they have a patio that they can pull the cover over for shade if you want to sit outside. *Bonus* They’re pet-friendly. See photo for proof ☺️”

“Any steak…. Crab cakes, although have been reduced in size. UFO, halibut stuffed with crab was the best thing on the menu…. However not available anymore…. Hopefully the halibut stuffed with crab will come back on the menu soon….”

“Ordered my favorite Larb Gai with sticky rice. Large portion and fresh!”

“Great food and wonderful staff! Definitely some of the best naan.”

“we was passing through on our way home to Yakima & stopped to eat lunch. Thank you the service staff & food was great!”

“I've been there a few times. The staff is friendly. The food is excellent for the price. I love the calamari and the clam chowder. Looking forward to going again!”

“If you want to be met at the door with wonderful hospitality, of staff and owner, this is your spot!!! We had 3 staff members that ensured our table had drinks topped off, appetizers and dinner plates met our expectations and came often to see if we needed anything! We met the owner, oh my stars he’s as AWESOME as his Staff. This will be a frequent stop of ours as they made us feel as Family!!! We ordered off the special list and I’m so glad we did!!! Pear tortellini with candied walnuts was to die for!!!”

“I've never eaten Taiwanese food before. I have definitely fell in love. Hands down, the best food I've ever eaten. 🤌”

“This is a family owned wine bar and live music venue that has just passed its 18th anniversary is a fixture in downtown Issaquah.

The interior design of this wine bar is exceptional, historic, rustic and elegant. Featuring rotating artwork from local artists, interesting custom metal work, an exceptional wine list, full cocktail bar and a scratch kitchen.”

“stopped by early afternoon on a sunday for drinks & apps after paragliding down the road, They didn't have the tequila we requested however the bartender suggested something different which we ended up liking anyhow. Our waitress seemed as if she was new to her job but she ended up being ok. Nachos & drinks were great, the restaurant was on the quiet side, the bathrooms & dining room/bar was very clean & cool. Overall we were happy at our decision to stop in .”

“Surprisingly a great Thai restaurant in the area. Yesterday, my son decided we should try this place for dinner and we were not disappointed. Portions were good and the taste is to our liking. Genuine customer service by the gentleman on the floor as well. There were not much dining in, in fact just us then a couple went in when we are about to finish, but we noticed a few pickups. We will definitely be back.”

“Such a cute restaurant with delicious fresh pastries. Great place to have lunch.”

“buena comida y rápida asistencia”

“I was craving apple cider donuts and thought, “what if apple cider came in a frostbite?” I asked if they could make it happen and one of the workers did exactly that! It turned out so good.

I had them add vanilla syrup, caramel drizzle around the cup, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top total perfection.

Just to note, this was my own custom creation, not something on their menu. Definitely try it if you love apple-cider vibes 🍎❄️”

“Just called in about placing an order to the incorrect location. Worker who answered the phone was very willing to help and gave me the Manager’s number. The Manager got my order over to the correct location and was very helpful and responsive in the process.

When I do order from the location, food is always hot and I never have to worry if my order is incorrect. Great Service!”

“We love this place and haven’t had anything we didn’t like!! Great food. However….. make sure you dress warm… they have blankets you can throw over you but it is still pretty chilly in there.”

“Bento-ya Goemon Authentic Japanese food....been looking for good Japanese food close by! So very glad we found this take-out restaurant! I had the Salmon Bento box, cooked perfectly moist & lightly seasoned....everything freshly made! I definitely will be back! 5 star Rating!”

“First time to Famous Kitchen, hunger level 3 out 5. Wanted something good -found it. Kitchen able to do a Mongolian chicken. Spicy is on target and flavorful. I like heat/spice and it did just right. Use to having broccoli with dish but the fried noodles were okay. Rice was perfect, curious if they offer brown. Ordered at the counter for dine in. Fast and efficient staff and food came out hot. Awesome, will be back for more sampling of the menu.”

“My poke bowl arrived fresh, colorful, and perfectly packed. The fish tasted just as good as if I’d eaten it in the restaurant — super fresh and flavorful. All the toppings were crisp, the sauces were balanced, and nothing got soggy during delivery. Portion size was generous, and they didn’t skimp on the protein. Delivery was fast, and everything was still cold and delicious when it arrived. Definitely my go-to spot for poke at home! Recommend for the family’s”

“Great food and drinks.attentive waitstaff. Amazing we will be back!”

“I didn’t expect to find Korean cuisine of this quality in Issaquah — what a pleasant surprise. Their Galbi-jjim (갈비찜) was especially delicious. It’s not a dish you can find at every Korean restaurant, so definitely give it a try!”

“Great food, great service. Plenty of free parking.”

“We love this restaurant and return often. Great staff, consistently delicious food favorites, decent price, excellent service. Thank you!”

“We love Aji! We live in the Highlands and have eaten at this restaurant more than any other place in Issaquah. It's our go-to for fresh sushi and I love the Japanese and Korean options. Kid and family-friendly and they always have the Seahawks or Mariners game on. Very nice and quick service! Thank you, Aji team!”

“Delicious. I eat the Sauteed Prawn sandwich every week.”

“OMGosh so extremely delicious! We just picked a whole assortment of yummies and hot n sour soup--- everything came out crazy fast and was amazing and the staff was extremely attentive 👏 😋 🙌 😍 👌”

“Food was fantastic, waitress not so….definitely recommend the food”

“So so good!! And good value. 3 stars was a bit too spicy for me because I’m a whimp lol. Highly recommend this place!”

“Friendly, fast and really good coffee!!! Did I mention friendly?!! Keep up the great work!!!”

“Shane, Zoe,Riley Gabby and Nathan, Shelby. Amazing experience. Fresh food and tasty beverages. What a great environment!. Want to spend more time here. Great place for connections!”

“Love the Oaxacan tacos!”

“Friday night dinner and it was busy. People were in and out, no wait though, as food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the grilled shrimp/pork vermicelli noodle bowl, eggrolls and chicken teriyaki … and it was all DELICIOUS!

Service was good. Server was very busy, taking money and orders and delivering food.

To the person who left a review about rare beef in the pho bowl… that IS how it is supposed to be served. You cover it all up in the hot broth. It is sliced very thinly so it cooks up quickly. Before you write a negative review and put a low rating, please take a moment to educate yourself on the dish you ordered and believe the hard working employee when she said that is how it is supposed to be served.”

“Delicious meal and dessert.”

“ok stop here every weekend heading out of town today I think they forgot to out in the coffee in my latte - thought it tasted a bit sweet - when I removed the lid - milk is pure white - not a hint of coffee color in the drink lol”

“Walked in and was skeptical about the authenticity because of the menu display, but the food is as authentic as you can get. Great food and variety of meats including tripa and lengua. Must try if you’re in the area looking for great Mexican restaurant.”

“Love this place. Have not always had good service at other Papa stores, but have NEVER had a bad experience at this store. They are wonderful people and their pizza is the best!!!”

“I have only been here two times as I moved to the area right before the government stole the freedom of Americans to move about freely... that being said, this visit - IN PERSON - was excellent! Matt, the bartender answered several questions and made a couple suggestions. I went with one of them (Carnitas and Scratch Margarita) and was pleasantly impressed with both! The crowd was fun, the staff was doing an excellent job (having been in the industry for 24 years myself) taking care of the business and caring for the clients. Thank you and I WILL be back again!”

“Best zucchini bread I've ever eaten - and I bake my own.”

“A great coffee shop in the Issaquah area. The service was great and quick. I love cappuccinos and had a great one here. There's both indoor and outdoor seating for your enjoyment. Can't go wrong with some local coffee!”

“Fantastic bang for your buck, Tikka Masala in Bellevue is worth going out of your way for. They have some fantastic variety in their menu, and do chicken curries especially well. But perhaps the crown jewel of their menu is the seafood biriyani. The shrimp is amazingly flavourful and the fish practically melts in your mouth. The portions are incredibly generous for the price. I always have leftovers after every visit. There are very few Indian restaurants in Western WA that top this one.”

“We were seated quickly. They offer a lovely variety of dishes. Over the past couple months this has become one of my favorite place to dine.. My favorite dish so far is the Garlic Delight.”

“Always awesome and busy bc it’s great!”

“This place offers a rare Latin breakfast menu item called Migas and oh man is it good. The wait staff are all friendly and your cup is never empty. The atmosphere is like a cozy small diner/family kitchen and it is relaxing and laid back. And as a rare tea drinker, I can say that while they charge the same as other places for tea, they serve super high quality English breakfast tea, which was delightful. I AM SO GLAD THEY ARE BACK in Issaquah!!”

“great service, always. 😊😊”

“Excellent food and taste.”

“I got the 3 meat plate.
Did pork ribs, pulled pork, & brisket.
I was really impressed with this place. Beans and coleslaw were good. Same with the sauces. Pulled pork and ribs were super tender. Only thing was the brisket was dry and chewy, so next time I’ll just do a 2 plate meat plate. But totally worth it for the other two.”

“I had an appointment in issaquah so I stopped into this place. I live on the east side and we dont have an ivars. The food was delicious. I got the full boat special and shared with a friend.”

“the food was yummy. parking was easy. ordered a Reuben, a Seattle dog and bbq cheeseburger. We'll return.”

“Used to come here all the time but the vibe has shifted. Everyone used to seem so happy, but last I went in there they were all getting barked at by an older woman who I’m assuming was their manager. But from what I saw the only thing she managed to do was stress out and confuse her employees. Starbucks has been going through lots of changes as of recently and none have seemed to be for the better. Only giving a high rating for the standout baristas who have always given me a great experience. But what I saw literally scared me for them.”

“absolutely the best teriyaki place in the NW! the owner is amazing and the food and service are top notch! I drive an extra 20 mins each way just to get to this place and I pass easily 10 other teriyaki restaurants! well worth it!”

“good size. filled me up. great meats”

“I absolutely adore the Batista's at this location!! They are so sweet. They remember my drink, call me by my name as soon as I approach the counter & when they come into my Job (Jackson's across the street), they greet me by name & are so nice. They're just good people when it comes down to it, but I wanted to make sure I leave a review for them here.
I'm specifically talking about Drew & Sophie (I'm awful & couldn't remember their names, so I made it a point to say their names today!) I could even be wrong about her name, Sophie or Sophia 🤦🏽‍♀️
There's 2 other baristas here, they are also kind & I always have great interactions with them too 🩷”

“5 stars for this amazing historical dive bar. Our favorite place to go on a weekly basis. Bartenders Loni, Jenna and Kylee security Cory and others- fun, friendly and social. Awesome drinks at a decent price. Love seeing the old familiar faces for years and love meeting new people and the first timers. Pool, darts, appetizers and good vibes all around. Recommend!!”

“Tobi is a master chef with all the various flavors we crave! She’s the best!!!”

“Of the many places around to get coffee, this is my favorite. Excellent quality drinks (GREAT coffee and craft espresso drinks, as well as Italian sodas and even a few smoothies). Everyone is incredibly friendly and quick. Love it every time I’m there.

Dietary restrictions: Delicious gluten-free options, including fresh baked muffins (you’d never know they’re gluten free) and loaded breakfast bowls.”

“We were so happy with this food truck! We used them for my husbands 40th birthday and all of the guests loved the selection. I highly recommend, they were great to work with and very reasonably priced. 10/10”

“Great drinks, good service, fun place!”

“Great food and a friendly crew. I eat here regularly, much better than fast food or chain restaurants.”

“terrible service. Ordered for a pickup. When i got there the doors were locked but they already charged my card for the order. They wouldn't help me. this is a terrrible business. major fail. no refund. shady business.”

“Wonderful service with a smile. Great burgers where you can specify your toppings, awesome hot fries, and outstanding milkshakes.”

“This place offers a rare Latin breakfast menu item called Migas and oh man is it good. The wait staff are all friendly and your cup is never empty. The atmosphere is like a cozy small diner/family kitchen and it is relaxing and laid back. And as a rare tea drinker, I can say that while they charge the same as other places for tea, they serve super high quality English breakfast tea, which was delightful. I AM SO GLAD THEY ARE BACK in Issaquah!!”

“I can’t say enough about this fantastic Greek restaurant! My sister and I each had the gyros plate. The meat was melt in your mouth tender, lemon potatoes and veggies were out of this world. I need to go back for dinner! Kudos for the owners!”

“Shane, Zoe,Riley Gabby and Nathan, Shelby. Amazing experience. Fresh food and tasty beverages. What a great environment!. Want to spend more time here. Great place for connections!”

“Well and Table was the first restaurant where I could eat because I have Celiac Disease. My favorite foods are burger, fries, turkey wings, cobbler, and root beer float. Well and Table is the best place. Heston, Age 6”

“Amazing food”

“This little gem just opened up in Issaquah and the food is outstanding!! Based on how many people came in while we were there, it is going to be a local standout. The chicken was beyond tender. We WILL be back!”

“Great food & drinks!!! Staff is wonderful & atmosphere great”

“Went in for lunch and got pho and their fresh spring rolls. The pho was very good with generous portions. The spring rolls had a good peanut sauce for dipping. The staff were really nice and attentive. Worth the stop if you’re craving Vietnamese food.”

“Our server, Shawn (I'm sure I spelled that wrong), was fantastic! He knew everything about the menu! He checked on us every 2 minutes and it was great. Now let's talk about the food, I have nothing bad to say. The burger, the fries and the spiked shake was delicious!”

“Great service. Noisier than I recall, but maybe it is just busier.”

“Cheese uthappam ❤️ Ghee masala dosa is ❤️”

“I'm not Indian or vegetarian but my lunch was great with many unfamilar tastes to be had. No menu, they just bring you food. The buttermilk drink was sour and spiced. The tamarind and cilantro chutneys were excellent as was the potatoes and the lentils w/crushed baked wheatballs. Breads served were papadam, hot naan and a deep fried bread (pictured on the facebook page) and all were fresh/delicious. I'm in it for the spicy food and the capsicum dish and the carrot side salad were spicy seasoned. I had chai and mango lassi, both great. The coconut creamy dessert was an excellent ending. I was very satisfied/satiated but had to go back to work. A nap would've been welcome LOL.”

“I loved their food & it was my first time eating there!!!!”

“Always awesome and busy bc it’s great!”

“The food was delicious and the service was great. My kids and I loved it! We will definitely stop the next time we are nearby.”

“They're usually pretty good and I never like get my food wrong. But the only thing is is I always order a large mocha frappe everyday almost everyday and they seem to can't get it right. They got it right probably a couple times out of every time I go cuz I like chocolate around the cup and they seem to not understand that but that's the only thing that bothers me”

“Reasonable prices. Service and food are excellent. Been there twice with the same server, Linda, who is excellent. Food comes out fast, too!”

“Ate dinner with friends and our families. The food was delicious and came quickly. Tried new plates and drinks based on their recommendations. We will definitely be back.”

“I've lately been ordering a Bacon Quarter Pound Cheese Burger with no ketchup and mustard, add lettuce and mayo. My only complaint is that there is only, maybe 4 crumbs of lettuce, it's mostly onion. I know it's a small issue & .30 extra for the lettuce isn't a large amount, but quality control is something to pay attention to.”

“Food was fantastic, waitress not so….definitely recommend the food”

“A very nice Dumpling/ noodle house. The Staff is very friendly. Food is delicious. Parking can be a bit tight. My one dislike. They tend to have high food prices. 8 bucks for a bowl of cold noodles. 5 bucks for tea. Just be aware its costly to eat here.”
