10 Best Cocktail Bars in Kirkland

“This was our first time here and I would say we were at about 80% satisfied with the experience, compared to other high-end restaurants in the area, the decoration and ambience were very underwhelming, but the staff was very professional, and it was very lively. Both salads were got were excellent and our entree was really good the lamb Ragu. Unfortunately the two starters were meh for the cauliflower was decent. The meatballs were a big flop, not sure if it was overcooked or the meat was too lean, they were really dry and took away from the nice sauce. It took about 30 minutes to order food, think someone forgot about us as the people that came same time as us we’re already eating before we could even order.“

“I was looking for a good Thai place near my home, and I’m so glad I found this one—highly recommend!

First, the space is huge. Like you can see in the photos, there are lots of tables on the first floor, a separate room for group seating, and even a second floor. They also have bar seats. The interior (including the lighting) is really nice, and the staff was very friendly.

We ordered Crab Rangoon as an appetizer, and for the main dishes we got Gang Panang curry and drunken noodles. The Crab Rangoon was crispy, and the cheese inside was rich and creamy. The main dishes were great too, especially because they included a lot of different vegetables. Some places have mostly meat or noodles, but this one had plenty of veggies, so it felt more balanced and still really tasty.

You can choose the spice level. We got level 1 and level 2, respectively. Level 1 was already a little spicy, and level 2 was pretty spicy. If you don’t handle spicy food well, keep that in mind.

The only downside was that they leave water on each table ahead of time, so it wasn’t cold at all. Other than that, I loved everything. This is my new favorite Thai spot!“

“Simply the best sushi place I've ever been to. I've been here 4 times in the last month, and it's been an incredible experience ever single time. Staff is friendly, the chef is quick, and the menu is unique filled with creative rolls that you just won't find in other places. With a rotating beer tap that has something new every time, this place will continue to be #1 and keep us coming back.“

“Great service and very good food. Lovely outdoor patio.“

“Emma Jean was wonderful. It was valentines. It was probably crazy but you'd never know from Emma Jean's demeanor. She made us feel comfortable and never felt like she was rushed or stressed. That doesn't even take into account the food which is always amazing!!“

“Love Chris! Love cranking’ music while I’m here and I love the vibe! And big ups for proudly displaying the American Flag on the wall! One of my Homes away from Home! 🇺🇸🇺🇸“

“Great, classic bar in DT Kirkland. Bartenders are awesome!“

“Food was pretty good. It depends on what you order though. The pad Thai, pad see ew and fried pork belly with garlic was good. The crab fried rice and beef salad were not. The fried rice was bland. The salad had too many vegetables and ingredients it was not well balanced. Very strange.

Worst of all was the noise. It was incredibly loud, like disruptively loud. Was hard to talk and enjoy our food. Service was very good though, very friendly staff.
I recommend coming for the happy hour, great deals in good food.

UPDATE
Returned after a long time. Had a much better experience this time. Happy hour is still the best deal. Flavors are still very good. Portions are decent. It’s best to come when it’s not crazy busy.“

“The table was across the kitchen entrance. The restaurant was dim so every time the door opened it was bright lights in my face. My wife was facing the window and the kitchen light would reflect off the window and was bothering her as well. Everything else was fantastic.“
