Comfort Food Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“Moss Bay Hall is such a great place for casual get-togethers, business meetings, or just relaxing after hours. It’s always clean, the service is kind, and the environment is fun and welcoming. If you like sports, I guess they’ve got that covered too! The owners are incredibly community-minded and do so much good in the world — you can feel it in the way the place is run. And honestly, who doesn’t love a delicious smash burger? Highly recommend“

“Best restaurant in the greater seattle area, friendly service and great food!!!“

“The cheese is amazing!!! It's a must each time I go to Seattle.“

“Greeter was rude. Like it was a trouble for him to get up from folding napkins to seat me at a table instead of going to the bar like he suggested. Actual server was nice. Food was good but overpriced($32 for a chicken burger and fries, no drink) and the 20% automatic tipping is a huge turnoff. This tipping culture is too much, tipping should be optional. Atmosphere of cars is cool.“

“We came for the pool tournament and stayed for the steak! Absolutely incredible food! Highly recommended! Hospitality and service were top notch. From the time I gave them my card I was addressed by my first name and treated like a friend. Couldn’t ask for a better night! 5 star!!“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“Sometimes a place hits just right. If you’re lucky you can get a table by the window for that epic 1st and Pike people watching. Get some braised brisket and appreciate. I liked the space with the exposed wood ceiling and old school windows. Service was timely and friendly. I look forward to coming back to try the baked fontina cheese dip appetizer or the fried bread pudding.“

“They make some of the best pizza in Seattle, and honestly some of the best pizza I've had anywhere! Delicious sauce, great crust, toppings are excellent - best lunch is a couple of slices + a cookie and a Mannies :D“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“Live right around the corner and it’s very hard to not stop by every day. I’ve Never had a bad experience and I Could recommend almost anything on the menu. You should Definitely stop by and get a hot chai and some chili cheese hashbrowns or loco moco“

“Yeobo was a great spot to chill with a cocktail on a Friday evening. The space is large, with plenty of seating and couches for groups. Vibes were relaxed and while I didn't adore my negroni, the menu had other options I'd try next time.“

“Historical saloon with tasty food and drinks. Also, great atmosphere for amazing live music. Highly recommended!“

“A delightful and soothing place right at the intersection of the harbor steps and the Seattle waterfront, a lovely symbol of the ongoing revitalization of the waterfront region in downtown Seattle. There is a lot of great Chinese food in Seattle, but relatively little of it is directly downtown, so it was quite lovely to see this place that offers very savory and sumptuous fare for a very reasonable price by Seattle standards. I have a very close Chinese friend and if she ever comes to visit me, I will make sure to take her to this place. After entering the sophisticated yet not pretentious restaurant, I sat down and ordered a milk tea and some steamed pork dumplings, both of which were delightful. The milk tea was large and sweet, the perfect contrast to the dumplings. I am not sure I would call this place exceptional by the standards of Chinese restaurants, as it doesn't really have a special flair to it, but it is solid and reliable and located in a promising place here in downtown Seattle. There is very little to complain about, aside maybe from how I felt like the staff were rushing me a little while I was eating. These are minor nitpicks, and I would absolutely go here again if I am in the area and feel a desire for some delicious dumplings. The harbor steps region feels so elegant and picturesque, a true testament to Seattle's effort to revitalize public space, and this is one of many very delicious restaurants that have taken advantage of that newly revitalized space.“

“Found by accident with my wife. We decided to stop and immediately felt comfortable and welcome. It really reminds me of dive bars back in the Midwest/south with great music, cheap drinks (for Seattle) and fantastic food. We plan on coming back every time we’re in Seattle“

“Nice small space with great Korean hybrid food. 5 stars here for the salad medley and fermented pickles.“

“I had not given a 5 stars for a long time but this place deserves it. 煲仔飯 was cooked at the right timing so the rice was crispy but not burned. 腸粉was tender and pairing with 皮蛋 gave an interesting twist. And then, the 芋泥was the best…“

“Bah had a fantastic demeanor when we walked in during lunch rush, I am so glad they were working the first time I ate here. The meat lover bento and extra Poke (had to try a little of every fish) were a fantastic lunch treat! Great prices for the amount of meat you get. I think I have found my new lunch spot“

“Came here because we heard this place serves up one of the best garlic chicken wings, and we were surprised to find that Gan Bei punches very much above its weight in delivering both a full bar of drinks and Chinese food items that tasted very authentic.

We had the garlic wings, fried chicken, and salted and century egg veggie. The wings and fried chicken were delicious as expected, but the standout is the egg veggie dish. I haven't had this dish since I was in Hong Kong years ago, and the dish took me right back. I hope more restaurants would be willing to use century eggs in their dishes to introduce this ingredient to the broader American audience, and show that it's not some disgusting thing that no ones wants to eat.“

“Came here off our cruise ship before we fly home and found this little gem. What a wonderful experience greeted by a charming woman who we later found out owned the restaurant. She was/is amazing we thoroughly enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and most importantly the hospitality.“

“Wow great fried chicken - my brother claims it was life changing 😀. Nothing more to say except it's recommended by Oprah!“

“Delicioso , exelente atención.“

“food was delicious. staff was very professional and courteous and friendly. awesome place to dine.“

“the Woodinville location pick up only took about 2 minutes, the chicken strips were actually not the best I've had at ezells over the past 15 years but it was still great. At least we know that the chicken is freshly made and not frozen! my daughter says it has a gourmet taste which is a win“

“Best fried chicken. gizzards and okra on the westcoast.“

“Very beautiful and fun experience with a vast selection and large portions.“

“A Seattle institution ❤️🍗 made famous worldwide by Oprah.“

“10 STARS

This is my favorite bar in Capitol Hill. I come here quite frequently with friends but still spend my days daydreaming about my next visit. Playlist NEVER disappoints. It’s a new vibe everyday and I’m always dying to get the link. MAJOR Kudos. My phones wallpaper? Captain Blacks nachos. Playing cards on the deck with a beer and fist full of nachos is my happy place. Love love love love love Captain Blacks.“

“I made it home to Tulsa, Oklahoma just to tell my friends and family about my experience. The food in general was amazing seasoned and cooked well. Spicy okra, and Cole slaw was tasty they even offer $1 sweet potato pie . I can not wait to come back and visit see you summer of 2026“

“The cheese sandwich was so gooey and tasty!“

“It's Ezell's! It's a Seattle classic. My kid has grown up on their chicken tenders (1 pound - half/half, always) - they are a warm, familiar, delicous treat! Avoid DoorDash if you can - 1 pound of tenders on DoorDash (with 10% tip) was $46.04 - when I decided to pick up at the store on Rainier, it was $24.24. Save yourself some $ if you can, and support Ezell's directly!“

“Yummy food and great price!! Great for cold Seattle days ~~“

“We came here on my husband’s birthday for a late lunch but didn’t realize this location closed at 2:30 (and reopens later). Even though we came in at 2:20, the staff were very kind and still seated us despite closing so soon. Food came out quickly and it was delicious. Thankful to the staff for the delicious meal and hospitality 🥹“

“I love boiling point. But after the last couple visits I’ve noticed that the portion sizes have significantly decreased. ALSO how could you take away the ”I ❤️ BP” fish cake and replace it with tiny pink fish cake pieces. I always have the best service and time with ALVIN and neck tattoo guy. Give them a raise.“

“Dropped in at 6:30 PM during our trip from California. Service was quick and efficient, and the ambiance was decent. The highlights were the delicious akki roti, flavorful payasam, and a good finish with the fried banana poori and filter coffee. On the downside, the sambar and chutney were just okay, and the thali was let down by cold curries. Overall, a pretty experience for the price point.“
