“Loved the happy hour margarita for just $13. The cheese plate was delicious and I’d come back. The bartender was very courteous and easily split the bill, as requested.”
“My girls took me to Cafe Veloce for my birthday and it was amazing! Service was great and the food was superb. I had the Dungeons pasta, yummy!!! It was my first time dinning at Cafe Veloce and will not be my last. Highly recommended.”
“We came here for a small family gathering and really wanted to spend time to catch up. The wait staff was accommodating and we did not feel rushed at all. And the food was delicious. Would definitely come back!”
“Hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life and it all begins with the dough. #lightsout”

“Their drinks n pastries are unique that you won’t find it anywhere else. Definitely worth the wait!!!”
“The chicken kebab plate is OUT OF THE WORLD. I used to have this favorite Persian place in nyc and was worried I won’t find something similar. I can safely say I’ve found a BETTER place. I think the portion size and quality of food totally justify the price. So happy I found my new go-to place! :)”

“The pasta was amazing. We got the gnocchi-All of them tasted extremely fresh, had flavourful sauces, and were all distinct. The agnolotti was the star, the sheep's milk cheese was super soft and fluffy, and the lightly sweet sauce topped it off. This place actually has Italian owners and staff which brings the entire experience up 3 notches compared to any other restaurant period in this town.”

“Location was great the regular clam chowder was great, the salmon was ok, not as what I thought it would be and the red base chowder was so bland and tasteless! Definitely stick with the regular clam chowder!
The fish and chips were pretty good as well! The Salmon salad was freaking delicious as well!
The outside seating areas was great and relaxing with a gorgeous view!”
“Genuinely some of the best chicken I have ever had. Please, if you even *kinda* like chicken, you have to check this place out. I got the buldak, and my wife got the soy gangjung, both boneless. The portion sizes are very generous, and the fries are priced better than McDonald's and ten times tastier. If you are reading this review, you are doing yourself a disservice not ordering from this place right now.
The service was excellent, too. The staff gave us extra toppings for the fries for us to try. I originally paid for a bottled water as my combo drink and when I went to purchase another the staff offered me water cups for free instead. You just don't really see that kind of honesty in the workplace anymore. I will be returning, rapidly, and repeatedly.”
“Handling Covid very well. Staff is so friendly. Feels like hanging out with old friends 😊”
“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! 😍”
“We just enjoyed Cafe Juanita for the first time for my husband’s birthday, and it exceeded expectations. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the restaurant felt cozy and intimate. Our server Georgia knocked it out of the park, she was so enthusiastic about the menu and the staff and it is clear why! We had a great time and can’t wait to come back, we’re still thinking about our favorite bites days later.”

“We had dinner at Thirsty Hop in Kirkland and really enjoyed everything we ordered! We tried several different dishes, and they were all delicious.
The grilled boiled squid was especially memorable — so flavorful and perfectly cooked! I honestly wish I had taken pictures because there were so many good dishes on the table.
Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and we had such a nice time. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!”
“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”
“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.”
“Very generous servings and friendly people. The food was fresh and well prepared. We hope to go back to try some other dishes.”
“We went there today to have some great Mexican food and because my friend Sheryl was in town from Ohio. We had a great time and also had margaritas!!!”

“the vibe inside is really homey. the price point is great. I was able to comfortably order a few things to try. I also think the portions were good. the duck ragu was very good. I enjoyed that plate very much. the sauce pairs with the duck very well. it's fork licking good. the carbonara I didn't care for, I didn't finish it. it didn't taste quite balanced. also my pasta was under cooked. I checked to see if maybe I was given buccatini on accident but no, it was just underdone spaghetti. overall, I'll try it again. my experience I think was good for a first visit”
“Ingredient bowls are a bit small, but careful stacking can lead to plenty to eat. Food was well cooked. Vegetables were fresh and vibrant. Plenty of options for the carnivore or vegan. The Mongolian curry sauce and peanut sauce were phenomenal. Worth the 15 minute bike ride one way. Love that they had sesame oil as well as pepper sauce and salted peanuts for topping. Recommended if you’re in the area.”
“We absolutely loved working with Nouna Sweets for our wedding! They made our wedding cake and treats, and everything was absolutely beautiful and delicious. ❤ The cake was a hit with our guests, and the coffee was wonderful too! ☕
Thank you, Nouna Sweets, for helping make our wedding day even sweeter. We highly recommend them! 🎂✨”
“A nice little spot for some delicious sushi in downtown Kirkland. Walked in on Friday evening and were seated really quickly. The staff was welcoming and friendly in a down to Earth way. Our table was clean and comfortable. Great variety on the menu; I was able to order non-sushi items for myself and daughter while my friends found some great looking sushi plates. My chicken Katsu was crispy and cooked perfectly, and included a fresh salad and a cup of miso soup, which was very tasty. We tried the potato-ball/squid dish (I can't recall the name) and it was VERY good!!! Great on a cold evening to warm you up. Prices seemed fair and our waitress was very helpful and friendly. Definitely worth a stop! :-)”
“We ordered some food to go and everything was awesome! The signature tofu dish is incredible - no notes, perfect texture on the tofu and incredible sauce!! The eggplant and noodles were also very yum! Got a bubble milk tea as well and was delish. They are so friendly and kind - we will be back!!”
“This place truly serves the best Turkish food in the area. Their Donor is absolutely the best. Great customer service and wonderful staff. Their Chef and kitchen staff are all Turkish so you will get an authentic Turkish Food. I tried everything there with many if my friends and it's always great. Also they serve delicious Turkish coffee a d Turkish Tea. The homemade desserts are also amazing.”

“This is hands down my favorite taco spot in the area! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is that they offer halal options, which can be hard to find. The tacos are packed with flavor, the portions are generous, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for amazing tacos with halal choices, I can’t recommend this place enough!”
“Cute homey space with flavorful food and unique Xinjiang dishes, and warm service. You feel the care in the food. Large variety of dishes makes it great for a group lunch outing. Standouts are the spiced lamb meat pie, and cilantro beef appetizer. I bought their green pepper chili oil to take home, and it's seriously good on everything! Mala numbing feeling and depth of flavor.”
“This family-owned gem is everything you want in authentic Mexican food. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine smiles and warmth that make you feel right at home. Every dish carries the chef’s personal touch, you can taste the love and tradition in every bite :)”
“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”
“Check your bags and receipts BEFORE you leave! Shady practices. I want to love this place because the food is actually great, but their front-of-house staff and takeout service are a total mess. I’ve eaten here and ordered takeout a handful of times recently, and every single time there is a 'mistake' that feels incredibly intentional. They seem to have a major habit of shortchanging to-go orders. I ordered the Hawaiian burger to go, got home, and it was just a dry patty and a bun—absolutely zero toppings or pineapple. Another time, I caught them trying to hand me a beef nacho order that was literally just chips and meat with none of the advertised toppings. Then, just yesterday, I ordered the $24 Birria taco plate to go. When you eat it in the restaurant, it comes with 3 tacos. In my to-go box? Only 2. When I called them out on it, the guy just shrugged, lied, and said they never do 3 tacos, then walked away to talk to another customer. On top of the missing food, their pricing is completely dishonest. They charge way more than the menu states (they snuck an extra $6 onto my bill for a margarita), and on a recent group dinner, they actually tried to run my card for the entire table's bill without even asking me first. Great kitchen, but the service is completely untrustworthy. If you order to-go, open every single container before you walk out the door.”
“Side Hustle: Taproom & Experimental Kitchen in Kirkland is a great place to kick back and enjoy locally sourced beers, wines and food. Friendly servers and great atmosphere. Check it out!”
“Excellent food. Great service. A bit on the expensive side but great for a girls night out!”

“While in the PNW from the East Coast, i needed my Taco Time fix in Silverdale. I forgot my wallet with cash & credit cards in it on the counter and I didn't catch her name, but one of the employees turned it in with everything in it. I am so grateful and so happy to know there are still good honest people out there!! May God bless her and the other employees there!!🥰”
“The coffee is exceptional and the community is even better. This is my daily coffee spot and it’s sensational! Emily and Michelle greet you with a sincere smile and always engage in friendly conversation. The menu items are always fresh and well prepared. And the espresso is the best around! A true meetup spot in the heart of Kirkland. 100% recommend”
“This cafe is located on the same lot as the Kia/Mazda dealership but conveniently has its own parking. The coffee was delicious and their flavored energy drinks/italian soda menu looked amazing, I will be back just for that. They also have cute car-themed names! The two gals working were so sweet and welcoming.”
“Lovely boba tea place. Very popular with the kids and teenagers. When we visited on a Saturday afternoon it already had about a dozen people inside enjoying their drinks. The prices are very reasonable and the choices for toppings in the milk tea, fruit tea, smoothie, or other drink are vast. Would definitely visit again if in the area.”
“This place holds a special place in my heart! A coffee shop open until 9 PM right in the heart of downtown Kirkland where everyone comes together for coffee, music and good company. I’ve spent so many hours here studying and working and it has truly been an integral part of my life. I love their mochas and the club sandwich! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Kirkland!!”
“Went to a neighbor restaurant, even though we called ahead and asked if we could have separate tickets, we got they're and were rudely showed where the menu said groups over 6 will be one ticket. we said we called in advanced and were told if we mentioned it before we ordered they would give us individual tickets. They were not nice about it. and they weren't busy. as our people came in, we sent them to La Corona who were more than happy to assist us. Once at La Corona, everyone was super friendly and nice. Food was plentiful and very, very good. I have a diary allergy and they made sure no dairy or cross contamination was on my plate and instead of cheese on my chimichanga, it had a delicious gravy. Everyone Loved the food they received. It was awesome good and plentiful. Will be going back for sure.”
“Perfect portions for great prices! Really loves the Olympia roll, tuna Nigiri, and mango Mochi!”
“Love this place. They have a lunch special that has edamame, tofu & miso soup for $7 plus then I can get one roll and have a delicious meal for like $20. Can’t wait to come back!!”

“Not only is the crispy rice and tuna, pork belly bun, and ramen delicious but they are also life savers. 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!”
“My first time there and I'm ready to go back for more! The people were friendly, kitchen was immaculate, and everything is made from scratch. 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!!”
“How about this for a review - OH What good luck, I just ate the most magnificent duck. At Sparrows I darn near made a glutton and fool of myself. Roasted duck with a cherry port wine sauce. My, my, my a beautiful cherry surprise. A leg, thigh and breast accompanied with an Argintine red wine. Lord all mighty is in the most rewarding places. Sparrows is all up in my palate doing naughty things that taste so so so good. Enough said - get there. DLNewt”
“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!”

“We had a wonderful experience at Olivia Garden with our family and kids. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everyone had a great time. A special thank you to Rosa for providing such outstanding service. She was friendly, attentive, and made our visit even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate her kindness and look forward to coming back again. Highly recommend!”
“El EnCanto is our favorite restaurant! You get so many fantastic factors in one place; good food, lake front views, great service, and ambiance. Those who own a boat can sail to this secure location to dine at Carillon Point for weekend brunch/lunch, or dinner. Special thank you to the servers's assistant to clear the dirty plates/utensils promptly and whipping clean the table between each servings. 🙏”
“The place was very busy, this may cause a variety of unwanted situations some of which are caused by customers themselves. We had to wait a little over 20 minutes which is not unusual for the day and time especially when the food is reported to be very good. While we waited we checked the menu and ordered our food which came to us nice and hot and without much waiting. We found the service to be very good and the food was excellent. We had the chicken tikka massala and the mutton as our main plates and also had the fried kale "fritters" (I forgot the name) which was very tasty. Everything was good and we can say this is a great place for Indian food. Will return.”
“This is my absolute go-to spot for Thai food. The Lynwood has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff members are always friendly, even when it gets busy. No matter what, I always order Stir fried squid with salted egg yolk—it’s a must-have for me. But what keeps things exciting is that they’re always introducing new dishes that bring me right back to home in Thailand. The flavors are authentic, comforting, and full of depth. Their cocktails are also incredible—perfectly balanced and a great complement to the meal. If you’re looking for an authentic Thai experience, this place never disappoints.”

“My friend is allergic to dairy, and I was worried finding a good birthday cake would be a challenge. Mix for a Mission made it easy. Ordering and pickup were simple, and the Enchanted Tree Stump Cake was a huge hit at his party. It was light, full of flavor, and completely dairy-free. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cake for someone with dietary restrictions.”
“We ordered Vegan Red Curry Ramen and Potato croquette Bảo buns . The food was very delectable. Modified for urban palettes . Loved the curried flavour of the broth . They have done a very good job in blending traditional Ramen cooking with modern tastes . Highly recommended restaurant.
The Kirkland restaurant has very cozy , warm vibes , perfect to spend your brunch , dinner time with your loved ones .
To sum up a good restaurant with tasty food.”
“This was my first time eating this style of cuisine and I could not have had a better introduction! The food here has such amazing flavor and texture! The prices are extremely good for the portion size! The website said the beef stew feeds 2 persons, but we fed 3 and still have about half the container left to have for another meal! I will DEFINITELY be ordering from here again!”
“Tried the chicken sando, waffle fries, mac & cheese, and Hangry sauce. Overall, everything was really good! The waffle fries came in an incredibly generous portion, and the Hangry sauce was seriously delicious—it paired perfectly with both the fries and the sandwich.
The mac & cheese was the only thing that fell a little flat for me. It wasn’t bad, but it was a bit bland and could’ve used a little more flavor.
The chicken, though, is where they absolutely shine. It was cooked perfectly, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor. I love spicy food, and the medium heat level was just right for me. Next time I might even try the hot! I’ll definitely be back for another chicken sandwich.”
“DELICIOUS! People need to start reviewing. I came here after 7 clients recommended them! So nice and friendly. Always willing to explain the flavors in such a cute place!”
“Really good steak bowls and avocado toast!
They have good smoothies but they are expensive (like $15) - the cool thing is if you sign up for rewards you get a reward every time you buy something!
Reward I’ve received - 50% off smoothie, free avacado toast, free tomato bagel, 50% off a latte…
Their coffee is pretty good too.
If you get the steak bowls I’d recommend asking for the lemon capers sauce on the side as an extra and also add some salt on the steak to bring out a bit more flavor, also careful with their salt grinder it’s automatic and really cool just don’t over salt!
Would recommend this place especially if you are looking for a clean meal. ( no seed oils etc..)
Also, their pesto sauce is dairy free FYI
Also, I think all their smoothies are dairy free because they’re made with coconut milk - just double check”
“Just moved to Kirkland and been wanting to try this place out… WOW! Walked in and immediately had the best vibes. Store was very clean and everyone was so helpful and friendly! I decided to try the Pork Belly Banh Mi — sooo good I highly recommend it! It’s a seasonal item so get it while it lasts!! Will be coming back :)”
