“So. This was awesome. I usually think these restaurants with the 5-courses and set menus and indecipherable foods/ingredients are pretentious, but this one actually has a good reason to be. I made a joke at the beginning of this dinner that I only respect an Italian restaurant if they bring out bread to the table, and guess what. They brought out bread! I chose the pescatarian menu and it was great. Started with a taster plate of soup/caviar cannoli/aged Parmesan and balsamic, then had raw yellowtail, bread, tajarin (angel hair sage pasta), endive salad, Seabream, blackberry thyme sorbet, passionfruit meringue, and then hazelnut ice cream affogato. I even probably forgot a few things in there, they just kept bringing food out. On top of all this, they had Charmin Ultrasoft in the bathroom. Unbelievable. That’s how I know they cared about me. This is the place to go if you’re looking for a fun and crazy food experience and you’re deciding between this place and Canlis or some other of this genre of restaurant.”
“Looking for a place half way between Renton and Everest, Totem Lake seem reasonable and it was well worth the trip. Meatball panini was excellent. Caesar salad, spaghetti, lasagna and chop salad were all very good too. Definitely a place to go back to.”
“Absolutely an outstanding lovely restaurant ! Employees are very family friendly and working hard to make sure you are all good and the food looks amazing ! The food is very authentic would definetly be coming back here”
“Top notch kbbq. Excellent and quick service. All the meat was very tender and flavorful as well. Can't ask for much more from a kbbq spot. Highly recommend to try out if your in the mood for some kbbq.”
“Great north indian and south indian cuisine specially the Vijaywada chicken/paneer biryani and the Podi dosa. Our go-to place whenever the cravings kick in. The service and the portion is great!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I've been in the area over 10 years now and confident I have tried all the different Persian spots in the Puget Sound. This one is the best, not only for the food but the staff are the friendliest and really take care of you. The food across the board is higher quality and more expertly prepared than anywhere else I've seen.”
“I'm actually amazed how accurate are the wait times. It's unfortunate that large big parties arrive late or don't cancel ahead and sets back the queue. The restaurant actually handles this pretty well.The food is fantastic. The waiters are very attentive to your needs.”
“I came here with a group party of my boss meeting this place is awesome. The food they offered was the taste of great thai food around kirkland. This place is so beautiful and the service was great.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Love their chocolate fudge icecream. They have new flavors every now and then to keep the menu fresh.Every item has clearly indicated allergen information and the staff is very helpful with any questions and tasting.The fire pit outside the store is an awesome spot to enjoy the ice cream on colder days.”
“Fantastic food, the gumbo was some of the best. Halibut was very good, but small portions for the amount for what it cost. Black eye pea stew was terrific. Good wine selection. Everything was very tasty but expensive.”
“The food is amazingly fresh and delicious, super juicy and testy. I ordered food so many times and every time is as delicious and full of flavors as usual. Falafel is out of this world highly recommended.”
“I like those wings!We ordered the original and Yangyeom flavor. The original flavor is really crispy. I also like the Yangyeom flavor, it's sweet and spicy.”

“The best!!! Imnso so happy I found this place.I am vegetarian(mostly a vegan diet) and my 3 yr old is gluten free. My sister is a huge meat eater and generally won't touch anything vegan. I really wanted to try this place out though and let me tell you all 3 of us were happy!My child never eats burgers. He. Prefers chicken nuggets but he ate the entire burger and said it was deliscious. I got the basic burger for him and the only alteration I did was removed the house sauce since we ate in the car. He absolutely loved it. He also got to try both fries options she has and he loved the one with pesto more but he enjoyed both. I love that she accommodated and made everything as glutennfree as possible for him. The buns she uses are also gluten free. He can have some gluten so the deep fried fries are ok but she eliminated as much as possible.My sister tasted my burger and liked it but she loved thr pesto fries but did say there was alot of grease at the bottom.Me being me I went all out! I got the burger, which was amazing. I've never had a vegan patty like this or this thick so it was different for me but it was so good. The sauce she uses is also amazing! I got both types of fries. With pesto was good but thr onion aoli fries I hsve been craving since I went!!! The best fries I've ever had! The grilled cheese had amazing flavor and was tasty but I'm not a huge vegan cheese fan so for me this wasn't something I would grt again but if it was loaded with veggies and grilled mushrooms and onions with those sauces I'd be in heaven!!Overall the food was easily 10 out of 10 and being that she only makes vegan food I'm safe knowing she won't use butter or lard or chicken stock like some places do and claim are vegan.Now as far as Danielle herself, she is amazing! We sat and chatted for a bit and learned she's been vegan for awhile and just got this food cart and is making things happen. She was super helpful and friendly and I'm a huge introvert and do not generally like people but she was cool! I live out in sultan so sadly it's hard getting up there but I'll be stopping by anytime I'm up in the area because I want to make sure she stays in business for the long haul. This food truely makes my heart happy and it's a place that accommodates all my families needs. Ohh I took some leftovers home and my 4 other kids devoured everything. They loved it all too though they judt got little tastes, they said thry would totally eat here in the future!Vegetarian options: Everything!Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten freeParking: The truck is in a business lot so it's small but good parking and short walk to location.Kid-friendliness: My gluten free 3 yr old ate it all and he's fairly picky!Wheelchair accessibility: It's a food truck so no stairs or anything.”

“The food was excellent and authentic. The portions are ample, so take care not to over order. The price was very reasonable. This is a great spot for an informal indian meal. I recommend the Chicken 65. Oh, this restaurant is about the food, so if you're nit-picky about fine dining this is not your place. If, however, you want good food at a good price, drop in--you won't be disappointed.”
“Great north indian and south indian cuisine specially the Vijaywada chicken/paneer biryani and the Podi dosa. Our go-to place whenever the cravings kick in. The service and the portion is great!”

“The food, service, and atmosphere here are very good. We're big fans of the loco moco and karaage chicken plates, but everything is good. Dine in or take out. Parking can be a challenge at times. Worth the effort.”
“My family has been going to the Pizza Bank since it opened in the early 80s. Every time we get together for the holidays, we always get some Pizza Bank once or twice. I even had a bank account at Northshore Bank, the prior business there (and Citizen's Bank before that). Great food.”
“I'm actually amazed how accurate are the wait times. It's unfortunate that large big parties arrive late or don't cancel ahead and sets back the queue. The restaurant actually handles this pretty well.The food is fantastic. The waiters are very attentive to your needs.”
“I loved the customer experience and the cookies! I got brown butter bourbon, double chocolate espresso, and molasses and they were all out of this world delicious. I'm visiting from atlanta and will be ordering cookies online to share with my family back home, they're that good.”
“Ok food. Not bad but not excellent especially considering the price.Way too much potatoes in every dish. Filling but cheap and not very delicate.Great service, ambience and views.”
“The food was great, but too big, in a bad way… need more cut, especially at the edges in the roll… but the service was really good, and taste was also nice. We spend $40 per person.”
“Savage Brewing offers an enticing blend of exceptional brews and delectable sausages on sticks.

“We four had dinner and drinks; two among our party live nearby and are regulars. I really enjoyed the Bibimbap I ordered with beer!BEER/WINE: 4.0. Good selection of beers, and limited but decent wines. We were all satisfied with our choices of beers and wines.FOOD: 4.0.- Bibimbap: 4.5. A real standout and I will order again. I hadn't had Bibimbap this good since living in Hawaii and Guam. I chose to have with Tofu, though beef is also available. Especially good with a cold beer.- Sashimi: 3.5. The Japanese person in our group rated her DELUXE DINNER as quite good for previously-frozen fish, and says she would order it again. I ordered one tako sashimi and would rate it a 2.5; in future I won't order individual sashimi.SERVICE: 3.5. Enthusiastic and accurate.AMBIANCE: 4.0. Indoor and some outdoor seating. It became quite full by 6pm on the Friday we visited (with a full parking lot), but never got so noisy that we couldn't easily carry on a conversation.”

“This has been on my list to visit for years but never made it! Big mistake as the food is fantastic!!Parking: Small parking lot and surrounding neighborhoodPet friendly: UnknownFamily friendly: YesFOOD:1. Garlic Bread (House focaccia, garlic confit, seeds, parmesan. Served with olive oil and balsamic) $12.00: 3 Star – I really wanted to love this bread as its different that make them unique to DERU. The garlic confit is very tasty but I think they had TOO much seeds that it covered a lot of the taste. I love focaccia but I don’t think it’s the right “bread type” for garlic bread. Focaccia is this heavenly squishy cloud bread but I want my garlic bread to have a crusty crisp exterior but super soft interior for the textural difference.2. Roast Beef Sandwich – Full (House herb focaccia, house herb crusted roast beef, gruyere, arugula, bacon onion jam, celery root aioli and house herb aioli) $18.00: 4 Star – See a focaccia is perfect for a sandwich bread! This was a tasty sandwich BUT it looked and tasted similar to the Chicken sandwich. The only difference was the protein.3. Roasted Chicken and Goat Cheese Sandwich – Full (House herb focaccia, roasted herb marinade chicken, goat cheese spread, house red onion marmalade, arugula, house herb aioli) $17.50: 4 Star - bread bread bread! I had to say that because I what else can you say about a good focaccia sandwich bread ?. I still stand by the fact that visually and even taste, it was very similar to the roast beef. Too light on the goat cheese as you couldn’t really tell it was there.4. Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting – slice $12.00: 5-Stars - OMG this carrot cake was so delicious! The only other time I’ve had an amazing life changing carrot cake was at DW Bistro in Las Vegas (yes it was life changing because until that point I did not like carrot cake). The texture was so moist and the perfect denseness (real words). The frosting was just sweet enough that it paired so well with the cake. ::Chef Kiss::DRINKS:Salted Caramel Latte (Espresso with steamed Milk and DERU Salted Caramel Sauce) $6.00: 4 Stars - first sip, I thought it was tasted like super water down coffee but I took my friend’s advice and just do a slight stir even though it’ll ruin the latte art. The perfect kiss of Salted Caramel Latte to the must needed caffeine, even more so as I went on a breezy day and decided to sit outside.MENU/RESTAURANT:I love their menu! Its very bistro style and you can tell it’s a place that serves local, clean, simple ingredients in the most fabulous way.For some reason, I have no idea why I thought this restaurant was in DT Kirkland. Its not far but as I drove, I thought my GPS was misdirecting me. To my surprise I found myself in a neighborhood with a small restaurant. There is small indoor and small outdoor seating which explains why its first come first serve. To be honest, this is really one of the reasons why I haven’t gone due to the lack of ability to make reservation.SERVICE:This is really a 3 part review…1. The in person staff is super friendly and will constantly check on us.2. You can order remotely via the QR code at the table OR you can go to the front and order directly. We originally thought to use the QR code since it seemed easier but when it came to ordering a slice of carrot cake it wasn’t even an option. I had to go to the front anyway and was told that oh for the carrot cake you need to come to us… why bother with the app than..?3. Their remote waitlist - I actually tried to go back for a 2nd visit but when I joined their remote waitlist for a party of 7, it told me it was 225 minutes which made us go somewhere else and lo and behold an hour later I got a text saying my table was ready… seriously…”
“I really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is great super helpful and genuinely kind. They made the experience better in every way, from food to drink recommendations. Food was delicious we loved everything we got from the beet salad to the burgers.”
“Love this place. The service is always friendly and a true family generational establishment. The baked spaghetti with meatballs is unbelievable. To be honest i almost hate raving about this place as i don't want them any busier than they are, but when a business deserves it, need to acknowledge the great job they have done building and keeping this business in play amongst all the chain restaurants and new fangled cookie cutter places now.Parking: Parking can be tough at times but there is parking on streets nearby”
“It's been years since I was a regular at the Beach House on Kirkland waterfront. I made reservations for two as I had a client I wanted to take out for a chillaxing environment with good food and drinks ???. Upon arriving I hope the hostess that I would like to give up my reservations and I can sit at the bar. They were happy as it was going to be a busy Sunday morning. I was greeted by Dan and Madelynn. Love the positive vibes ✨️ and excellent customer service skillset. My cranberry mimosa's and food was amazing and wow did it get busy at the Beach House and it was cool to see Dan and Madelynn handle their business like true professionals. My client failed to come due to a hangover but, I will be back with more clients and friends in the near future. Keep up the good work Kirkland Beach House. You are the best on Kirkland waterfront. Sincerely Farmer J”
“Service was excellent! The bolognese is beyond delicious, and you can request a GF/DF option over spaghetti squash. Wild boar and the red wine from Bulgaria, Italia were also amazing!”
“Used a Groupon at this location tonight and my husband and I had a great time! Groupon included a drink for each of us, round of mini golf, and take home glasses. Very friendly, helpful, and clear staff! Mini golf was fun. We ordered a pizza which was average but we didn't come for the food. Overall we had a good time and the customer service was excellent so we wanted to leave a review for that reason alone!”
“Bob was great and so were his serving staff! They accommodated a fundraiser with ease, even though it was last minute. The labels they made for the wine for the fundraiser looked great and everyone had a great time. In addition they are dog friendly!”
“Our family comes here pretty much every weekend. They have an excellent happy hour even on weekends. We have tried almost all the items on the menu and I don’t think there is anything that disappointed. The menu isn’t big, so hopefully they will change it up routinely. Really wish they served pineapple fried rice because that is my son’s go to dish at a Thai restaurant. My favorite dish that makes this restaurant stand out from other thai restaurants is their Chiang Mai Curry Noodles. My 5 year old daughter’s favorite is their lemongrass wings, she could probably eat 10wings if I didn’t stop her, and I can’t blame her they are amazing. So are the isarn mini wings, but they have a small kick to it so my kids don’t eat them. Summer is coming and I know I will be eating a lot of their crying tiger salad and papaya salad, both are so refreshing and tasty.The location is great, the service is great, the ambience is great, the pricing and servings are also great. Definitely give this restaurant a try, you won’t regret it.Parking: Definitely hard to find parking on weekends and when the weather is nice”
“We went for lunch - In short words: Great service, Nice ambience, OK foodService: was super nice, the lady (forgot to ask her name) was very patient and nice to explain the dishes, what it's made of etc.. and she kept checking on us etc..Food: we ordered Dim'er devil, Kolkata chicken biriyani, Machar something(forgot entire name), gobi manchurianDim'er devil: The best I liked is this - very very flavorful snack! (something i would consider for a next time buy again)Kolkata chicken Biryani: was next - a standard north style biryani, nice fluffy rice, with a sweeter note (than spice). It was nice, had some nice flavor to it (much better and authentic than some of the (north) Indian restaurants out there)Machar in banana leaf: The lady said, it's good but Bengali style (i think she was trying to warn me - but I wanted to try local cuisine). So, if u are into intense mustard and turmeric taste buds, then you may like it. Personally, I felt the mustard overpowered the actual dish(fish - the fish had 0 flavor of a fish btw) - so it was just OK for me. I wouldn't buy it next time (coz I only get mustard taste in my mouth). But if that is what is the authentic Bengali flavour, then it's one of their best made.Gobi Manchurian: So, this would be debatable. If you are someone who like the street based gobi manchurian (i.e. the one with thick vinegar based (sweet and sour) sauce, then you may like this. I preferred/expected more of an indo-chinese gobi manchurian (i.e. less vinegar based, but soy/sweet/sour/garlic mix if sauces), so not in my next time list.Overall food was OK, and/but portions were less (except biryani - decent portion) - from the dishes I bought, I would rate 3.75/5. But am waiting for buffet to reopen to try out more and see where it would stand.”
“I haven't seen a restaurant have cochinitas pibil on their menu in years. This restaurant carries Cochinitas pibil and Birria! I love the food here. The service is fast and polite. I will come back and eat here every payday.”
“I liked this place. Great service (not overwhelming or underwhelming - just right). Food was good, but I wasn't blown away. There was a large party sitting next to our table which increased the volume considerably.”
“The lady at the store was very kind but the food wasn’t really my taste. Spicy phad thai was too spicy and lower level spicy was too sweet. While we were eating, staff constantly cleaning other tables with Lysol spray and that really bothered with strong scent.”
“As a connoisseur of good food, I have tried almost all good restaurants in the Seattle area and I can vouch Bella Balducci’s quality of meat is simply peerless. If you like eating meat outside without burning a hole in the pocket, this is my top recommendation.”

“I just love the quality and taste of Mongolian Grill. It’s fun to pick out your vegetables, protein, sauce and rice and have it be customized to your taste and nutrition preferences. This is one of my go to places when I eat out.”
“Great food. Love the veal tongue sandwich I got. Huge portion.Music is way too loud. Greek salad is a little bit too saucy.Over all good experience. Service is nice. Just wish the environment could be a little more cozy, less fast food like.”
“As always consistent high quality meat, clean, large portions, and EXCELLENT rating w/ Health Dept, friendly owner/family. I like this teriyaki place better than teriyaki place in Eastgate which is closer to me. Whenever I’m near by the area, I always stop by… ?”
“The food was great, but too big, in a bad way… need more cut, especially at the edges in the roll… but the service was really good, and taste was also nice. We spend $40 per person.”
“This is my personal go-to pizza place and everyone is always delighted and raves about the delicious food. I usually pick up but requested delivery from company I've never tried before for a small gathering. When guests arrived and the food hadn't, I sent my kids to pick it up. Then, a woman called from the restaurant indicating they couldn't give me cold food and were remaking everything at no cost. Thank you! My guests were delighted with the food and it was a great as my kids and I always are pleased to enjoy. We have many favorites but the salmon is a unique favorite and the canoli is always a hit.Vegetarian options: Excellent pizza, salad and of course, desserts.”
“One of the best taco places I've found in Kirkland and on the eastside in general! Their adobada and carne asada meat are tender and not too salty, which is a problem I've run into with other taco places (dry or way too salty). I love their self-service sauce bar where you can load up on your favorite condiments. Their sauces are all pretty good! Also their churros are delicious and addicting...they have this filling inside of them that is really good and come with a whip cream-like sauce on the side. I'll be coming here to get my taco fix from now on!”

“Didn’t know it was food truck but didn’t matter as the food was very flavorful and tasty. Its pretty big portion and the price is reasonable. The owner is very nice and friendly. There’s outdoor seating as well as a comfy indoor seating inside a shed like structure next to the truck.”
“This is my second time in a dumpling restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. Being a dumpling novice I was pleased that the server was patient and explained the menu along with recommendations. The food and ice tea was excellent! I will definitely return. Nice atmosphere too!”
“Tra Kirkland doesn’t just have a nice atmosphere but amazing drinks. Our children enjoyed the strawberry lemonade and blue lemonade. We even splurged on the cute robot cups. The lemonades weren’t too sweet, slightly tart and very refreshing. My husband enjoyed the viet coffee and I got the coconut viet coffee. The coffee was smooth, flavorful and cooling on a warm day. They have drinks that cater to every preference from coffee to teas. I would highly recommend this shop.”
“This is fast italian- you pay for what you get. If you have a big appetite, add sausage or an egg. Or, get 2 pastas.Noodles are perfectly al dente and flavors are on point.”
“This is the best food I have ever had here in Seattle area! It's tastes so fresh and homemade, it makes me so happy to eat here every time. It reminds me of mother's homemade meal made with love and passion. The owners are so friendly and kind. The portions are good too! I have fallen in love with this food and restaurant!!”
“I’m not one to sway much from a mushroom and italian sausage pizza but last night I was living on the edge lol. We took a flyer and ordered the Pear & Gorgonzola pie. No joke. We can’t remember having a better pizza anywhere! Add Carmelized onions, a balsamic drizzle on a crispy thin crust. The authentic wood burning brick pizza oven helps to deliver an award winning pizza pie!! Gratzie Pizzaiolo!”
“I had the beef kebab (which they call Souvlaki) and it was excellent. The meat was well seasoned. It wasn't the most tender I've ever had but for the price it was very good. Similar to sirloin steak quality meat. Everything else in the meal was good as well. I got an extra kebab since I was hungry.”

“I have a soy allergy so generally have to stay away from Vietnamese (and most other Asian) cuisine sadly, but Vinason has soy-free options that were amazing!!! We ordered the bahn mi and pho ??. The food came out super fast, and the place is so pretty and cleanly! Will definitely come back & highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Soy-free options (as well as other allergens) on website!”
“A Seattle classic! Great pizza! The sauce is great and the cheese melty. They always have a special pizza and ice cream flavor. Love being able to buy it by the slice. Slices area large enough to fold. The very best part…. The crispiest crust. I wouldn’t necessarily call it thin crust, but it’s so crispy! 10/10”
“Compared to another Papa Murphys we occationaly would visit, this location is wonderful!!! The staff is always freinfly, fast and proffessional! I am always very impressed. Thank you”
“In the post-apocalyptic wasteland where finding a decent meal is tougher than out-dueling a Deathclaw, Taco Time stands as the last bastion of culinary hope. I wandered in, radiation-poisoned and weary, and found not just sustenance but a feast fit for the vault overseer themselves. Five stars for not only surviving the nuclear fallout but for making sure we do too, with a side of the crispiest, most addictive tacos in the wasteland. #VaultDwellerApprovedAlso some gentleman by the name of Robert pointed me to good food .”
“This is one of my favorite Starbucks to go to! Kiosks usually have the stigma of not being as good or as trained as the regular corporate stores, but these BARISTAS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! Some of them have been with Starbucks for a long time, and you can tell by their beverage quality and knowledge. They love to go above and beyond and will make sure I walk away with a smile on my face, and I so appreciate that! The newer Baristas are just as enthusiastic! This is a great team, and this kiosk should not be underestimated. And thank you for helping me find my new favorite drink! The brown sugar shaken oatmilk espresso with cold foam. So yummy!”
“My grill loves to be chilled with their yummy butterfinger blizzards! The peanut buster parfait with hot fudge drizzled over ice cream and peanuts is also very Awesome!”
“Cool local "fast food" chain. Think taco truck food, but in a restaurant. Food is pretty decent. Sure beats Taco del Mar, anyways. $1.50 tacos on Tuesdays.”
“$4 after tax for a LG fry, you gotta be kidding me!But then you eat the fries so hot fresh they burn your mouth, the service is nearly instantaneous and excellent to boot. Lastly the promotions can be pretty great too.This location is steadfast in holding down the classic saying “You pay for what you get.”.”
“Starbucks is back! Stacy remembered my name from last week, had my drink ordered before I needed to say it and went out of her way to make me feel welcomed and known. This is the Starbucks ‘Third Place’ I have known in the past but have missed in many visits around the country. Well done Stacy and team!!!”
“Very clean space, staff are very nice! They are very quick and have consistency in their food and beverages. Big shoutout to Margo the assistant lead at Starbucks, very kind and excellent customer service.”
“The cashiers in this location are super polite and accommodating. It's clean and super fast, fresh and consistent. The owner keeps a close eye on the operations, which is very much appreciated. The only drawback was a super grumpy sandwich maker who kept glaring at me and my mother! Anyone is entitled to their own unhappiness!”
“Pretzel bun burger, not very good.That has nothing to do with this location though, corporate decides the recipes. This Wendy’s is the best one I’ve found among all the ones in the greater Seattle area. Management and staff are all great, good team work, friendly, work cohesively to resolve issues quickly. Even have fast service when it’s very busy.”
“I'm not gonna post her name, I felt she wanted to be anonymous, but the night manager on Sun, Feb 18 deserves to be recognized. Thank you for treating me like a human and acknowledging that someone made a mistake! I hope there are no repercussions for anyone on duty that night, we ALL make mistakes and learn! The previous manager I have dealt with, (they) were extremely rude and heartless if there was ANY mistakes on (thier) watch. Again, no names.Thank you newish night manager. You earned a LONG time customer back!! Keep up the great work!”

“One of my favorite restaurants for over 5 years now! The owner, assuming he is, you’ll probably know who I’m talking about because he’s the most attentive one there and has the memory of a god haha, he’ll remember you and what you ordered for weeks, months, years! Even if you don’t come in for a month or so he’ll still remember you when you do and I’ve had him remember certain favorites of mine after months of not being able to come in! Super nice guy and reasonably priced food, I miss the conveyor belt so much though, but love this place!Wheelchair accessibility: I’ve come here with a walker before, they have bar seating at the ends and chairs can be moved out of the way to be able to sit in a wheelchair. I’ve sat in the booth and had my walker moved off to the side without an issue.”
“We had the beef rib, chicken mala, dry beef mala, fried tofu and pork/shrimp chive dumplings.All were so good! The beef ribs was very tender, chicken was crunchy,… can’t pick a favorite because all were so great!Service was quick, you order through a QR code and food came out not long at all! I love the QR code order personally, really convenient when you go in a group.”
“Bob was great and so were his serving staff! They accommodated a fundraiser with ease, even though it was last minute. The labels they made for the wine for the fundraiser looked great and everyone had a great time. In addition they are dog friendly!”

“Love this cute spot on google campus on CKC. The beers are good and they offer snacks. Only had pretzel and the ice cream sandwich which were both good. Sometimes there are food trucks as well although wish this was better advertised. They should have a section on their website letting people know the food truck schedule. Best in the summer/nice weather when you can also bundle with a visit to playground, basketball court, water spray feature, etc that are also on google campus but even now in winter they have heaters and plastic coverings to keep the area dry. Feels like a nice/local spot.”
“The food is just delicious!! Very Good quality ingredient by far one of the best meat I ever tested. Recommend chicken sandwich and class burger. The shawarma was ok (I did not like too much the spices in the sauce but the chicken was very good)Only one improvement I wish was made is to increase the fries’ quality otherwise you will still be a bit hungry hahaThe restaurent is super clean! The staff are very nice too.Inside there’s only 2 small tables a bit crowded but during cold weather it’s very good to have.”
“I wish I could rate this place 5 stars for every time I've gone- everything is great. Everything tastes great, it's fast, appropriately priced, semi healthy (depending on what you pick), it's just great. The folks here are always very friendly. This is what fast food should be, but I wouldn't want to call it fast food because that'd be an insult to this place. It doesn't matter if you dine in or get it to go, this place is fantastic.”
“Vegetarian Pho is excellent. Flavorful broth, lots of veggies and tofu.Tofu spring rolls some of the best we've had. Fresh, great flavor and texture (with a little crunch inside). Peanut sauce good, not too sweet like some others.Vegetarian options: Excellent Vegetarian Pho and Spring rolls. Bun (noodle salad) is great also”
“Honestly a great place. Their boba teas are fantastic. I absolutely love their peach milk tea. But on top of that they have good customer service AND really friendly. In addition to being super fast. I've had it delivered and I've also ordered in store it's great every time. Well done guys.!”
“This is my first time ordering here. I got the turkey avocado sandwich and the grande steak burrito. The turkey avocado was really good, I was surprised. The burrito was like heaven, IT WAS SO GOOD.”
“Dinner with my friends last night and this was SUCH great food! A friend recommended it, and it's worthy. Not fancy, just nice, good food, simple, tasteful decor and atmosphere. I had the Cumin Beef (wonderfully spicy( and Garlic Green Beans (not spicy at all, just really good), Mongolian Beef (yummy and hardly spicy), and Dan Dan Noodles (so interesting, different, really yummy-tasty). I'll be back. I'll gladly travel across the city for food this good!”
“Everybody who works here is exceptionally nice. Like way nice. And also this is the BEST Boba hands down I've ever had and I've been out of country. Their pearls are so good and perfect. My favorite drink is the Thai green tea, it's so delicious ? definitely give them a shot!”
“AGAIN… they hit it out of the park! SO YUMMY **and** such generous portions! She could barely close the lid! I appreciate being able to share with my son, and we enjoy our order for more than one meal!”
“I got the chicken katsu. It was crispy and the oil was really clean! They also gave me a ton of rice and salad. if you’re wondering from the picture, I got no dressing and turned the chicken over a little bit but otherwise that’s what you’ll get if you order here. I brought my own garlic sauce from teriyaki bistro in issaquah which may be tacky but it took the meal from a 10/10 to a 13/10 ?”
“Carrot cake was good and moist. My iced coffee wasn’t as strong as I like. My daughter’s hot chocolate was $0.01 with my adult drink. Her hot chocolate was really good, not overly sweetened. The girl at the cash register was very friendly! We quickly found parking nearby.”
“I've been coming here for the last 10+ years, and I'm never disappointed. Great food, friendly staff, very reasonable prices. Various combos will satisfy everyone, and I mean that both in terms of quantity and choices.Went recently because some family was looking for a decent Chinese place, so I recommended it and they were blown away. Chinese is fairly limited around here but this place means you don't have to settle.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating to small onesWheelchair accessibility: No steps, standard accessibility”
“We opted for the white chocolate raspberry Bundt cake, a popular flavor at the store. However, it fell short of my expectations as I found the frosting overly sweet.”
“Food is Okay, with fair price. Service is great. Friendly. Very big place. A lot of tables to chat or work on your own stuff. But the music can be a bit too loud if you are looking for a more mellow place to chill. Hard to park. But that applied to all nearby stores.”
“Classic neighborhood joint. Noisy, friendly, and excellent food.Kid-friendliness: Short kids menu is excellent and they're incredibly friendly with the little ones.”
“Our family comes here pretty much every weekend. They have an excellent happy hour even on weekends. We have tried almost all the items on the menu and I don’t think there is anything that disappointed. The menu isn’t big, so hopefully they will change it up routinely. Really wish they served pineapple fried rice because that is my son’s go to dish at a Thai restaurant. My favorite dish that makes this restaurant stand out from other thai restaurants is their Chiang Mai Curry Noodles. My 5 year old daughter’s favorite is their lemongrass wings, she could probably eat 10wings if I didn’t stop her, and I can’t blame her they are amazing. So are the isarn mini wings, but they have a small kick to it so my kids don’t eat them. Summer is coming and I know I will be eating a lot of their crying tiger salad and papaya salad, both are so refreshing and tasty.The location is great, the service is great, the ambience is great, the pricing and servings are also great. Definitely give this restaurant a try, you won’t regret it.Parking: Definitely hard to find parking on weekends and when the weather is nice”
“Wonderful dining experience and great food with a local legend. Chef Lynn has been cooking classic French meals in Kirkland for over 20 years and still brings the passion to her cooking that is usually only seen in newer chefs. Bravo!”
“We went for lunch - In short words: Great service, Nice ambience, OK foodService: was super nice, the lady (forgot to ask her name) was very patient and nice to explain the dishes, what it's made of etc.. and she kept checking on us etc..Food: we ordered Dim'er devil, Kolkata chicken biriyani, Machar something(forgot entire name), gobi manchurianDim'er devil: The best I liked is this - very very flavorful snack! (something i would consider for a next time buy again)Kolkata chicken Biryani: was next - a standard north style biryani, nice fluffy rice, with a sweeter note (than spice). It was nice, had some nice flavor to it (much better and authentic than some of the (north) Indian restaurants out there)Machar in banana leaf: The lady said, it's good but Bengali style (i think she was trying to warn me - but I wanted to try local cuisine). So, if u are into intense mustard and turmeric taste buds, then you may like it. Personally, I felt the mustard overpowered the actual dish(fish - the fish had 0 flavor of a fish btw) - so it was just OK for me. I wouldn't buy it next time (coz I only get mustard taste in my mouth). But if that is what is the authentic Bengali flavour, then it's one of their best made.Gobi Manchurian: So, this would be debatable. If you are someone who like the street based gobi manchurian (i.e. the one with thick vinegar based (sweet and sour) sauce, then you may like this. I preferred/expected more of an indo-chinese gobi manchurian (i.e. less vinegar based, but soy/sweet/sour/garlic mix if sauces), so not in my next time list.Overall food was OK, and/but portions were less (except biryani - decent portion) - from the dishes I bought, I would rate 3.75/5. But am waiting for buffet to reopen to try out more and see where it would stand.”
“Lady Yum is a MUST for me anytime I am in the Seattle/ Eastside area. Not only do they have the most delicious French Macarons I have ever tasted, they also have the cutest shops. Each one is as unique as it's location. Usually, I get a 10 pack because 1 or 2 is never enough!”
“I liked this place. Great service (not overwhelming or underwhelming - just right). Food was good, but I wasn't blown away. There was a large party sitting next to our table which increased the volume considerably.”
“Great and affordable breakfast. Food was thoroughly cooked. Some places rush and undercook. But lucky seven gets it done right. Portion was just more than I could eat. Overall, it was a great breakfast experience.”
“The lady at the store was very kind but the food wasn’t really my taste. Spicy phad thai was too spicy and lower level spicy was too sweet. While we were eating, staff constantly cleaning other tables with Lysol spray and that really bothered with strong scent.”
“Rumi Restaurant's decor and presentation are stunning, creating a beautiful dining atmosphere. It would be great to see more variety in the dessert options to complement the fantastic main courses.”
“One of the best seafood + bar experiences ever. Beautiful view, awesome service, amazing food, and wonderful drinks. Definitely will recommend trying this location to anyone I know.”

“This month, I come here almost every day in the late afternoon, I really liked it here, I like it when a husband and wife cook, they do it very quickly and deliciously, I'm already here as a regular customer, I order from them earlier and they greet us with a smile, thank you very much, Mary and Juan.”
“Great north indian and south indian cuisine specially the Vijaywada chicken/paneer biryani and the Podi dosa. Our go-to place whenever the cravings kick in. The service and the portion is great!”
“I loved the customer experience and the cookies! I got brown butter bourbon, double chocolate espresso, and molasses and they were all out of this world delicious. I'm visiting from atlanta and will be ordering cookies online to share with my family back home, they're that good.”
“Shoyo on fire is on fire. So good! If you like spicy romen, must try. Ordering sometimes can be on the slower end at times (when picking up), but still sooo worth it.”
“I have a soy allergy so generally have to stay away from Vietnamese (and most other Asian) cuisine sadly, but Vinason has soy-free options that were amazing!!! We ordered the bahn mi and pho ??. The food came out super fast, and the place is so pretty and cleanly! Will definitely come back & highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Soy-free options (as well as other allergens) on website!”

“My husband and I stopped here for unch on a whim. Amazing food, amazing service, and gorgeous interior. The zucchini linguine was delicious, so was the burrata and the creme bruele.Vegetarian options: Mushroom burger and zucchini linguine”
“Consistently great food, great service and views for miles!! We overstayed our welcome (happy hour wine and appetizers rolled into dinner, dessert and more wine), but the staff was so kind about it (offering us Prosecco in the lounge so others could enjoy dinner). The crab risotto was delish as was the morel pizza!”
“Great location with a nice vibe and a great view accross Lake Washington to Seattle. Tasty Mexican cuisine with a nice upscale twist. Reservations are highly recommended at this popular restaurant. Enjoy!”
“Fabulous, as always! This time celebrating a birthday. Hard to have any critiques, only suggestion is be a bit more subtle about checking tables and timing courses. We were rushed through our appetizers, and mains showed up too early, we let the server know and she was a gem and slowed her roll. A nice dinner, just over $375 for two with apps, drinks, mains, desserts, and after dinner drinks.”
“Food quality- 5/5Service speed - 5/5We had party of 20+, where orders were flowing and so was the speed of delivery, without compromising on quality.Champaran meat was winner among all other delicious items, Jackfruit cutlet, Jackfruit kofta, Chili Chicken for spicy lovers, Chicken 65 with less spice, Vegetarian biriyani is yummy.Didn’t like Pani poori shot as it was without the coriander water.”
“The food is amazingly fresh and delicious, super juicy and testy. I ordered food so many times and every time is as delicious and full of flavors as usual. Falafel is out of this world highly recommended.”
“Our server was so wonderful. Unfortunately, it seems not only the prices have increased, but the amount of food on the plate has significantly decreased! I can see one or the other but BOTH?! YIKES. Was also saddened to hear they took the flatbread off the menu. They were sooo good. Sounds like they're getting ready to do a bit of an overhaul on their menu items. We will see... Overall, the value has gone down significantly. ?”
“Great food. Love the veal tongue sandwich I got. Huge portion.Music is way too loud. Greek salad is a little bit too saucy.Over all good experience. Service is nice. Just wish the environment could be a little more cozy, less fast food like.”
“Recommended by a friend to meet for lunch. My husband & I recently returned from a trip to Egypt and Jordan. Hanoon didn't disappoint. Waiter was extremely friendly.”
“Love their chocolate fudge icecream. They have new flavors every now and then to keep the menu fresh.Every item has clearly indicated allergen information and the staff is very helpful with any questions and tasting.The fire pit outside the store is an awesome spot to enjoy the ice cream on colder days.”
“I agree with the other reviewers when I say that this was the best Olive Garden experience ever. We started out in the bar with a pitcher of Sangria. Our bartender Zack was wonderful! We took a second pitcher to our table and were greeted by the best waiter we’ve ever had, Jason. He was kind, funny, attentive. The food was delish! We will definitely be back!Parking: We were parked at the hotel across the street where we were staying and walked here.”
“We had decent sashimi and pretty good seared cod, but nothing phenomenal, especially for the price and location. The super heavy and tall front door is something of a deterrent. The service was okay, but the prices are high for what they seem to be aiming for here. We walked in on a Thursday evening and it was super quiet even though they asked if we had a reservation. For a more enjoyable authentic dining experience, Izumi, across the highway is still our mainstay for special meals.Kid-friendliness: There are no high chairs here.”
“I love their pizza and their staff except 1 cashier woman I met on 11/2 (Thu) at 6pm. I came to pick up my order like usual. She was on a phone so I waited. Several minutes later she finally eye contacted with me and gave me a sign that she would be helping me out after the call. So I waited more. Then, she accepted another call right after (Maybe another customer waiting on the phone before me..). Though I knew my order was already ready on the shelf, I waited for her. After waiting for ~10 minutes, another employee came to the front to organize empty boxes. So, I asked the employee if he could check my order on the shelf. At that moment, the cashier woman stopped the employee helping me out and told me that she would be coming to help me after the call. She did not even tell me how much longer I have to wait or why I should not get hold of another employee for help. She seemed a bit angry. Not sure why she was not even allowing other employee helping their customers out.? Gladly the other employee insisted helping me out. He asked me my name and handed over my food from the shelf. I appreciate his help. Maybe it was not his duty to help pickup order customers. But he went beyond his duty and made his customer happy. Thank you!”
“I like those wings!We ordered the original and Yangyeom flavor. The original flavor is really crispy. I also like the Yangyeom flavor, it's sweet and spicy.”

“Amazing! Everything we tried was amazing and very fresh. It was my first experience with Turkish coffee and I’m trying to find another excuse to go back asap! The staff were so sweet and friendly, it gives off amazing neighborhood vibes. It’s my new obsession!”
“Yummy Thai food and a good addition to Kirkland. The standout of this restaurant for me was the fun drinks they offered... interesting tea flavors and yummy boba. Very good service as well with incredibly friendly staff. Only reason for the 4 stars is because it's not my favorite Thai in the area, but it's still very good and a cute experience.”
“Fantastic food, the gumbo was some of the best. Halibut was very good, but small portions for the amount for what it cost. Black eye pea stew was terrific. Good wine selection. Everything was very tasty but expensive.”
