“My companion is severely celiac (autoimmune disorder to wheat/gluten). The staff made an effort to point out what was "safe" on the menu, but despite a note on the menu about gluten cross contamination from their fryer, two dishes arrived with fried garnish. I suggest the chef/management/staff should better educate each other.”

Rimini blew us away! Far beyond a regular pizza place, it’s a full Italian experience. 🎶 Amazing live accordion, our talented waiter Gino, and a surprise rendition of “Bella Ciao” made the evening unforgettable.

Food was flawless, wine selection excellent, and every detail perfectly orchestrated. A delightful surprise and an experience we won’t forget! 🍕🍷✨”

“WOW. Where to begin? The food was delicious and innovative, perfectly presented. The staff were so attentive, and very celebratory with us on our milestone. You can tell it is a female exec. chef, because she lets you try different elements of all the beautifully curated tasting menus. When we told them I wanted the Omnivore menu, and my partner wanted the pescatarian so we could share, they not only immediately offered to split each plate for us so we could have easier, but everything was still gorgeously plated. Their NA alcohol program was very thoughtful, which is nice being a sober guest. 10/10 would without a doubt recommend!”

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!”

“Amazing food and staff!!!!”

“Delicious and fresh food. Great wait staff too. Highly recommend it!”

“Excellent food. Great service. A bit on the expensive side but great for a girls night out!”

“I have visited this restaurant with my friends on Friday evening. Nice hospitality and service, should give 5 start for it. Good vegetable options were available, we tried the Paneer Hariyali(grilled and not fried) and it was very tasty; also other vegetable food was great and tasty. I also tried their Goat Biryani and found to be ok compared to other restaurant, definitely suggest to improve on Biryani taste.”

“Recently had a corporate holiday party there 10/10. Everyone had a blast and the staff was fantastic!”

“Handling Covid very well. Staff is so friendly. Feels like hanging out with old friends 😊”

“This used to be a excellent beer bar serving amazing beer with mediocre food. Then it changed owners and they started serving solid sushi and still serving amazing beer. They changed chefs earlier this year and they are one of the best sushi restaurants who happens to serve amazing beer. They do sell out of specialty dishes (e g., Ankimo: monkfish liver pate) which is how it should be for delicasies.”

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.”

“Amazing bartenders and drinks!”

“Been to many Italian restaurants being Italian living in Australia and to being at Ristorante Paradiso in Kirkland Washington Seattle was the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. Service was outstanding and had the best white wine I have ever had in my life a memorable experience”

“grate pizza and the baklava with ice cream was awesome”

“Yvette takes really great care of her customers! And we need more 24 hour drive thru Starbucks!”

“Clean and nice employees 👌🏼😊thank you Madonna”

“I don’t usually eat Italian out because I feel I do a good job at home. This place is way better than I can do. The menu/ordering process is a little challenging to figure out but worth the challenge. We’ve been twice and both times excellent. The salads are great, house made mozzarella with these sweet tomatoes and a balsamic reduction - so good! Tonight I had the gluten free pasta with mushrooms and white truffle oil, fried tofu, homemade sausage and ghost pepper oil. It was so freaking good! The atmosphere is fun as well, open, vibrant colors and Italian pop music. Welcome addition to Totem Lake.”

“My son wanted to try gyros so we got some to go, they were SO good!! The artichoke dip & pita is great too.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BEST burritos 🌯 and 🍟 fries. Just YUMMY 😋”

“Very generous servings and friendly people. The food was fresh and well prepared. We hope to go back to try some other dishes.”

“Create your own stir fry. I've loved every sauce I tried, but the Spicy Mongolian is the best. Food is always fantastic, staff is great and will give you the exact amount of sauce you want, or put it on the side for you. They will let you go half and half on protein without additional charge. Tables are not waited. Easy to push some tables together for larger groups. They leave out halloween candy in October, and always have self serve fortune cookies year round. They technically have a weight limit for food bowls, but I heap noodles quite high and have never been charged more than the base rate. My go to for celebratory occasions.

Vegetarian options: Create your own stir fry, with an entire bar of vegetarian options. Tofu or egg available as proteins.

Dietary restrictions: Build your own, but grilled on a large surface that all other dishes are also grilled on. High potential for cross contamination

Parking: Usually a spot or two available to park right out front

Kid-friendliness: Kid bowls available at a cheaper price point, and they'll love building their own meal and getting fortune cookies at the self serve afterwards.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor with no elevation changes. Decently wide walkways that are likely accommodating. Seating easy to rearrange, with open ends to situate a wheel chair at. Doors are not automatic.”

“Delicious, healthy scratch food in a warm environment!”

“When Prometheus stole fire from the heavens to give unto man, I now believe it was for want of Wing Dome 6 alarm sauce. As merciful as it is cruel, the flavor is delivered to you with equal parts pain. Upon first bite of the backfire burger, I glimpsed the infinite. Although the flavor was tempered with a bittersweet sadness as I knew I would only have the chance to experience this for the first time but once.

Wing dome is a sacred place where us mortals can truly experience greatness if but for a fleeting moment.

“And Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.” - wing dome probably”

“Been there twice and tried most of the vegetarian dishes, and LOVE all them! Great food, decor and service! Will go back with more friends! 😍”

“Pradeesh and Karthik provided excellent and friendly service. This was our first visit and will definitely be back. We highly recommend ordering Lamb Biryani, chicken curry and garlic naan. The portions were very generous.”

“Very Yummy!!! so many wonderful flavors to choose from.”

“The coffee was so rich and made at the perfect temperature. The staff was welcoming and accommodating. Definitely recommend trying this place out! You don’t regret it.”

“Friendly staff they are welcoming and approachable. Reasonable prices. Great atmosphere. Wine selections are amazing.”

“Chicken is good, but it's important to note that it's not buttermilk batter. Sides were reasonable and what you'd expect from a traditional fried chicken restaurant.”

“Seoul Meat Co. really impressed me! The meat quality is some of the best I’ve ever had at a Korean BBQ spot — super fresh, beautifully marbled, and so flavorful once grilled. You can actually taste the difference compared to other places. The side dishes were great too — fresh, tasty, and they kept refilling them without us even asking. Everything paired so well together, from the kimchi to the sauces.

The staff were awesome — friendly, attentive, and always checking in to make sure we were taken care of. They even helped with grilling, which made the whole experience really easy and fun. I also loved the atmosphere here. It’s modern, clean, and has a lively energy without being too loud. Perfect for hanging out with friends, family dinners, or even a date night.

Price-wise, it felt totally worth it for the quality you get. We left super full and satisfied, already talking about what we’ll order next time. Overall, Seoul Meat Co. has become one of my favorite spots for Korean BBQ — great food, great service, and a great vibe. I’ll definitely be back soon!”

“Hands down the best Sushi I think I’ve ever had. It is always fresh, like just caught fresh. Everyone who works there is so nice and it just feels like such a nice little peaceful place to eat. I really need to dine in one of these days!”

“Excellent food, drinks, and entertainment. No cover!”

“Delicious cookies. Pinckney Cookies are nothing short of genius. Original, oatmeal, snick doodle, molasses all- genius. Yummy.”

The waitstaff seemed to work together well.
Oh, and they have a frequent lunch card... kinda nice.
Pleasant place for lunch.”

“Incredible authentic Mexican food with a fantastic and friendly staff at very affordable prices. Highly recommend for anyone who loves good Mexican food!!”

“First timer of this restaurant... This is definitely Authentic Home Made Chinese Food , made by Real Chinese People! Yummy! 5*****”

“Just had the BBQ pork belly . Everything fresh and quality of the sandwich is outstanding, served with smiles. Lovely spot for delicious Banh mi (baguette with choice of meat and toppings) for a meal. Plus they have delicious Butterfly sunset tea,Black milk tea, Thai tea and fresh smoothies … All my favorite”

“My Margherita had beautiful leopard spots, fresh ingredients, and the service was top notch. I look forward to visiting again.”

“It is a nice place !! 👌”

“Great quality drinks and nice service! They also have breakfast sandwiches for ~$9.50 (menu is on the window near the register, overpriced for the size imo but still good). Their staff picks are usually 10/10 if you wanna try something different. I always stop by here whenever I'm in the area :)”

“So excited but was disappointed no hats.”

“Pochi is cool place with chill atmosphere, offering different boba’s and flavours , u can customise flavours, sugar level accordingly, people here are friendly and a good place to have fun”

“I always love coming to this place because they always have great portion sizes and excellent customer service. I am a frequent customer and in my opinion one of the best teriyaki places in the area!! One of the many things I love eat here is the Korean fried chicken which is only available during dinner time it doesn’t need sauce to make it taste amazing but when you have it with the sauce it elevates the flavor more and each time I order anything from the menu, you can tell everything is fresh and piping hot when you get it! This business deserves more than 5 stars in my opinion and I recommend this place to all my customers at my place of work. 10/10 in my book!”

“Just moved to the area from Bellevue, I've eaten at over 30 teriyaki places across the east side and Seattle. This place is insanely good and a crazy good value. Got the spicy chicken and a chicken katasu. Blown away at how well prepared the food was.

Friendly, fast service.

I will be coming back again and again to try everything on the menu.”

“The Customer Service and My White Chocolate Mocha. 🤗”

“You guys, the portions are insanely big ! It’s like for 4 people and it’s only 17$ ! And also delicious. Definitely recommend.
I ate sooo much and it still looks like I ate nothing , it’s crazy ! 😂”

“Great cafe offering a variety of coffee and specialty drinks, and food choices. I think it's a great service to offer not only to customers but the public as well. I'll definitely visit more often!”

“Outstanding product great delivery”

From soup to plates and bowls to salads, it never disappoints. You will find yourself craving more every time.”

My best friend started choking and one of the employees came and gave her the Heimlich maneuver. Thank you for helping her! I tried to tip the employee and he refused. Really thank you. I know everyone’s adrenaline through the roof!”

We tried the Kofta, and Shawarma wraps, falafel, Greek fries, and a dessert and liked it all. (But just a hint - don't order your fries first because it's hard to stop eating them they are so crispy and tasty!). We will definitely go back and recommend it to others!!”

“Best Vietnamese food OB the Eastside”

“The best prices on an Imperial (20 oz) pint, especially during weekday happy hours and all day Sundays!”

“My Father's Day Surprise was a visit to Arleana's Restaurant in Kirkland, Washington. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The food was very good, especially the jerk syrup was was delicious. And I am very picky about jerk seasoning. The Bloody Mary had a unique flavor. It was not my traditional BM. But it was surprisingly great. It's quite a drive for me. But I will return for the selection of food, drink and ambiance. This was a great dining experience.”

“Anthony’s HomePort @ Kirkland made my Birthday Special. First was greeted by a wonderful staff at the check in area. Then when seated at a wonderful window view was handed a cute Birthday card. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. But the cherry on top of the experience was the sunset view we had while dinning. Thank You Anthony’s for making my Birthday Special and unforgettable!”

“My mom and I had dinner at Sparrow while visiting WA. We LOVED our food and drinks! Mom got pork belly and scallops with polenta and she said “this is the best meal I’ve ever had”. Let me tell you, she doesn’t say that lightly. I had the Alaskan halibut which was served with asparagus and heirloom tomato compote - the fish was a good sized portion and besides being healthy, it satisfied the pallet and the stomach. The wait staff was fantastic, and the drinks were superb!”

“Lovely setting dining outside by the Lake. Our waiter was attentive and gave good recommendations. Food outstanding and we just got back from Italy! 🇮🇹 well done COMO!!”

“We got the restaurant week menu and it was fantastic! I thought the portion sizes for each course would be smaller, they were full size plates. My friend and I got a chance to try a lot of different dishes since they offered multiple choices for each course. Service was excellent, everyone was friendly! Will definitely be back!”

“Took grandkids to Issaquah location & ordered at the trailer. Friendly, great service, delish food! Excited for the main building & drive up to open!”

“Amazing bartenders and drinks!”

“Oh dear, the food was exceptional—fresh, refined, and incredibly delicious. The Chilean Sea Bass, Prawns St. Helens, Grilled Kuri Squash, and Paella featured vibrant, magnetic flavors, complemented by Cruo. Oysters on the half shell were the freshest I've ever had. Chevalier Sauvignon Blanc was perfect—balancing dryness, crispness, and a lively edge. The staff was charming and attentive, and the dishes were both creative and served hot. I couldn't have imagined a better dining experience. The coffee and desserts were also superb. Celebrating retirement with friends—50 years of Nursing, including DAc, MSN, Level 1 Trauma, Critical Care, ER, Management & Leadership, and Nursing Education—marking an incredible journey's end. Thank you so much!”

“Been to many Italian restaurants being Italian living in Australia and to being at Ristorante Paradiso in Kirkland Washington Seattle was the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. Service was outstanding and had the best white wine I have ever had in my life a memorable experience”

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.”

“Two moms had the most enjoyable dinner compliments of our adult children. Exquisite flavors, relaxed vibe, gracious hosts. Absolutely fabulous!”

“Food was good enough but late afternoon service was really disjointed. Our server was very nice and I suspect other staff left it up to him to take care of everything b/c it was between lunch and dinner. So I would say this is a larger comment not to the wait staff but those managing or behind the bar to be more attentive. Or just close during off hours to centralize service and make for a better dining experience. Was fine enough but not sure I would come back, especially since I'm rarely on the eastside.”

“Ice creams handmade are really good”

“Ridiculously delicious! The chef truly gets the best flavors out of the ingredients and I struggle to not eat too much. I can HIGHLY recommend this place. I’ve become a regular at this place and everyone is so nice!”

“We enjoy visiting this location. Staff is always friendly and facilities are always clean. Mobile ordering is a breeze”

“Our entire family (14 people) ate at the Olive Garden in Kirkland tonight and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was delicious and Matthew our server did an outstanding job! He went out of his way to make our birthday dinner celebration so wonderful! Thank you again Matthew and Olive Garden.”

“Went to the soft launch tonight and honestly have no critiques food was so delicious and the drinks too! Friendly service an amazing atmosphere 12 out of 10 recommend”

“We enjoyed everything we tried here. The popcorn mushrooms and crab cheese wontons were especially good. The owner and staff were incredibly nice. Definitely worth checking out.”

“Good Pakistani authentic taste. We had Halwa Puri nasha and everything was excellent. Our waitress was very professional. I didn’t ask her name and i thou that she was from Bangladesh but turn out to be a Mexican did great job on explaining with correct accent ( that shows good training on your wait staff).”

“Amazing food, warm atmosphere, and friendly service! The kabuli pulao was perfectly seasoned, the kebabs were juicy, and the mantu were full of flavor. You can really taste the authenticity in every dish. A wonderful spot I’d happily return to—highly recommended!”

“Incredible food and lovely staff. Wishing I lived closer so I could go daily.”

“My order is consistent every time. They take their time with preparing your food because they make it delicious. They are super nice, it’s always very clean inside. My favorite Kirkland cafe.”

“I meant to take a photo before I devoured my lunch.... but it smelled too good to wait.

Incredibly tender fried chicken, with a crispy outside... we'll definitely be coming back so I can try more things! The bites I stole of my partner's curry were also incredible, so maybe I'll get that next time?”

“This chicken sandwich shop never disappoints! The food is always fresh, tasty, and full of flavor. I really appreciate the consistency—they get it right every single time. It’s become one of my go-to spots for a satisfying meal. Highly recommend!”

“Mendo Farms is one of my go-to's now for daily fare. Can't say enough about how courteous and considerate the staff are compared to most other establishments in Totem Lake. Erik, Filip, Julianna, Dave, Diana (I pretty much know them all by now) always greet you with smiles and enthusiasm. The menu is pretty unique and I'm hooked on the turkey avo. In a word, exceptional value all around.”
