“Great Thai food, but the regular menu had me wondering if I accidentally walked into TAO Las Vegas. 😅 $28 for pineapple fried rice in a cafe style place?
Prices on the menu are exorbitant for the place and the plate
Liked their large vegetarian options so I will be frequently visiting this place until they increase the prices
The lunch menu is the real MVP, affordable, comes with a complimentary salad, and the mint & tamarind dressing is delicious. Without the lunch specials, this review would’ve lost a few stars 😅”
“Great cocktails-the Brussels sprouts are amazing. Haven’t had a bad meal here but wish they’d change the menu up a bit or add seasonal dishes for more variety. Great local spot.”

“Hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life and it all begins with the dough. #lightsout”
“Good not great Persian food but not as expensive either. Wonderful little family owned restaurant that is sure to fix that Persian craving you might be having. I enjoy this place when I go. There are better in the area, but at the same time, you will pay an arm and a leg for what you get. This place is a solid 4 of 5 stars.”

“We ordered some cake pops for an event we catered this August. They were absolutely amazing and delicious. The guests RAVED about them and took multiple per person and took pictures because of how beautiful they were!
Holly and her team were amazing and supper communicative. They accommodated all of our requests for designs and even put the event logo on some of the pops, and everything turned out amazing. Thank you again to Holly and her team for making us look good!

“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”

“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.”
“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!”
“My son wanted to try gyros so we got some to go, they were SO good!! The artichoke dip & pita is great too.”
“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 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.”
“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!”
“BiBi is the best! We had a party catered and the food was fabulous and beautifully presented. Everyone loved it. Thank you BiBi!”
“We've had several excellent dining experiences at Prosecco since they opened. Everything we've ordered has been delicious, pizza is amazing! Service has been very good. Indoor and outdoor seating both comfortable.”

“I always thought McDonald’s staff weren’t very friendly and that the service was often disappointing. But James changed my opinion. He always has a great voice, a positive attitude, and provides excellent customer service. Every time I visit the Kirkland location, he makes the experience enjoyable. Employees like James make a real difference. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves a promotion or something similar. Thank you(Tuesday night, around 10 PM)”
“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.”
“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!”

“The service and the food was so wonderful. The processes of getting a cake for my engagement party was so easy and simple. Everything I asked from Enje (the owner) happened. The cake was so beautiful and exactly like the picture. Everyone is so nice. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“I’ve gotten a cake from Seatown for birthday parties for two years in a row now. lThe signature cake flavors are the perfect amount of sweetness, with being perfectly indulgent. Found my go to cake spot for many more years to come. Thank you Seatown bakery team for always delivering the best quality and having great customer service!”
“Second time ordering here, and safe to say this is my new favorite spot for sushi. You can taste the freshness, care, and incredible flavor. They’re consistent and just great overall. Will be ordering here on the regular! Udon noodles and spicy tuna HIGHLY recommend.”
“I ordered the lavender latte with honey, and my husband opted for the drip coffee. I thoroughly enjoyed my lavender latte, and my husband was equally pleased with his drip coffee. Overall, it was a delightful experience. The outdoor seating adds to the ambiance, making it even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting during the summer, I highly recommend choosing the outdoor seating option. The indoor space is also equally good, it offers a spacious and pleasant atmosphere.”
“Very generous servings and friendly people. The food was fresh and well prepared. We hope to go back to try some other dishes.”
“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”

“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!”
“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 :)”
“This is our go-to Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood! The food is authentic, packed with flavor, and consistently delicious. The portions are incredibly generous, especially for the price, making it a fantastic value. We’ve been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food!”
“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.”
“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! :-)”

“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!!🥰”
“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.”
“The Lamb Schwarma plate is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with a portion to generously have leftovers later! The soup that comes with their plates is comforting without being heavy, and I could eat it every day. Also, if you love garlic, their MK fries are a must buy - my friend & I shared a half order, and came nowhere close to finishing them!”
“Teriyaki has a nice char on it without being dry. Sauce is the best of any place in town and leaves you scraping the plate for more!
Fried chicken is also amazing without being super greasy but having a perfect crunch.
Churros and ice cream were not something I ever expected to see on a korean fried chicken menu but somehow even the churros are quite good.
I haven't had a bad experience here in 20+ visits now. Staff are friendly and the food is wonderful.”
“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”

The staff is friendly and accommodating. This is the best food I have tasted in this genre. It’s a fantastic, do not miss place that you will love. From soup to plates and bowls to salads, it never disappoints. You will find yourself craving more every time.”

“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.”

“We really enjoyed our visit to Como. Genuinely have no idea what all these other reviews are talking about - the staff are super helpful and the food is great. My suspicion is that anyone downvoting the service are snooty and entitled. We literally have only good things to say about our visit and can’t wait to come back.”
“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. 🙏”
“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!”

“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.”

“They’ve got something for everyone. The ajitama and pork chashu are done very well here. The takoyaki was good too. The broth is less flavorful than other places I have been, but much more milky. Personally, I am not a huge fan of the broth, so -1 star.
The restaurant is cash only and you can only order through kiosk. You cannot substitute any toppings, which sucks. You can only ask for a “no topping” and then pay additional for the topping you want. Small store means you will have to wait for a table during busy hours.
Personally, I wouldn’t return because I don’t think I will crave this specific ramen again. I would rather drive 20 more minutes to eat at Kizuki’s.”
“I ordered a custom design with a few inspirational photos, and he brought my vision to life perfectly while adding his own creative touches inside. The cake looked incredible, and the inside was just as beautiful. He even incorporated strawberry crunch into the layers, which was delicious. The flavor was amazing. It was rich and flavorful without being overly sweet. Cakes like this prove that we don't need to use animal products to create beautiful, delicious food for special occasions. What makes Mix For A Mission even more meaningful is that they're a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping animals. Supporting a business where every purchase contributes to animal welfare makes choosing them an easy decision.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Min is the absolute G! His service and friendly demeanor is just a cherry on top of the already scrumptious spicy chicken. Their spice levels here really don’t mess around so start light and work your way up. The Mac and cheese loaded is phenomenal as well! I highly recommend this casual spot to anyone in the area. Decent pricing as well!”
“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”
“Every time we visit Mendocino Farms, we’re reminded why we keep coming back! The customer service is truly exceptional. A huge thank you to Rudy, who remembered us from our previous visit and greeted us with such genuine kindness. It’s the little things like that that make you feel valued and welcomed. The salads are delicious!”

“One of the best dining experiences I've had! The food was amazing and filling. The homemade cheese they gave us was the best cheese I've ever had. The piano accordian player was incredible and could play any song you asked.”
