50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Kirkland

“Took grandkids to Issaquah location & ordered at the trailer. Friendly, great service, delish food! Excited for the main building & drive up to open!“

“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!“

“Ice creams handmade are really good“

“Outstanding product great delivery“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat, and I have only great things to say about the staff and the food! I love coming here, because the guys are so friendly, quick and remember my order every time. The gyro salad is so good I could eat it everyday! 👌“

“Their drinks n pastries are unique that you won’t find it anywhere else. Definitely worth the wait!!!“

“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!!!“

“Great food I love the scenery great date night“

“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!“

“Very generous servings and friendly people. The food was fresh and well prepared. We hope to go back to try some other dishes.“

“I go out of my way for the treat that is a meal at Veggie Life. Very friendly owners and outstanding and fast service. Excellent food, some favorites: Hot and sour soup, orange chicken, and tofu clay pot. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-31“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“

“Delicious and fresh food. Great wait staff too. Highly recommend it!“

“Solid work or study spot. The atmosphere is a little dingy, but I don't need much to be productive. There are several outlets (consider bringing a long cord, some are a little far from the table).
Also they forgot about my drink and I had to inquire about it, but I didn't mind much.“

“Recently had a corporate holiday party there 10/10. Everyone had a blast and the staff was fantastic!“

“First timer of this restaurant... This is definitely Authentic Home Made Chinese Food , made by Real Chinese People! Yummy! 5*****“

“Prime rib sandwich was divine!!! Their horseradish was just right, not so much of a kick in the face. Lol
The waitstaff seemed to work together well.
Oh, and they have a frequent lunch card... kinda nice.
Pleasant place for lunch.“

“I used to live in the Juanita neighborhood of Kirkland. Now that I live in Shoreline, I don't get over much. If I need a latte or a place to write, I don't think about driving around the lake. The other day, I got an invitation to come over and meet someone. When I turned up Central, I remembered how much fun downtown Kirkland is. So many interesting places to visit and nary a chain retail business in sight.
One of the downsides of Kirkland is parking. I considered one of the bijillion paid spots, but I managed to find a 2 hour free spot not too far away from the coffee shop. I'm told that these spots have monitoring equipment to enforce the time limit. I was there for a little over the 2 hours with no ticket, so I don't know how true that is.
Thruline was busy, but not full. We found a table where we put our things to claim it while we went to the counter to order. I was happy to pay $11 for a latte and a breve.
Many of the customers are loyal regulars. My friend was greeted by name and several folks matched pictures on the wall. I asked how much coffee you had to drink to get a picture. Apparently, that information is a secret, as I was given vague non-responses.
When our name was called, I went up to fetch our drinks. They came in real mugs. I think coffee tastes better in a mug than in a cup. I like to think it is better for the environment too.
I admired the little heart in the foam and took a sip. Pretty tasty.
I have a hard time hearing in a crowded coffee shop. The noise level was not terrible, but I did miss a bit of our conversation.
People seem to like to hang out. During the couple of hours we were there, I did not notice the people around us changing. Several folks had their laptops out, so it might be a good place to get some writing done. If I ever move back to Kirkland, I'd enjoy being a regular here.“

“Amazing bartenders and drinks!“

“So excited but was disappointed no hats.“

“Huge fan of this place! Great ice cream and drinks, and super comfy shirts too 😁. Extremely friendly owner and staff, definitely would recommend checking them out and supporting a small local business!“

“Comida buenísima y buen customer service!!!“

“Perfect portions for great prices! Really loves the Olympia roll, tuna Nigiri, and mango Mochi!“

“The mac salad is my favorite! Best Hawaiian food in Washington. Their Hawaiian beef is my go to, and the combo with the Huli huli chicken is a phenomenal deal. Don’t forget to get their sauces! Their sambal is amazing and the teriyaki is delicious as well.“

“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!“

“Just great people working here and show up! The regulars have been coming here for years! stop by and have a blast! I've been coming here for a very long time. just not on a regular basis!“

“The Customer Service and My White Chocolate Mocha. 🤗“

“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“

“Wow! Perfect dining experience. Friendly staff, amazing food and drinks, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! 🙏“

“❤️ ❤️“

“very nice staff and super delicious bundt cakes!“

“I tried the matcha smoothie and added coconut jelly—such a perfect combo! The flavor was refreshing and just the right amount of sweet. The staff here are always super friendly and helpful with any questions I have. Great service and great drinks. Definitely coming back again!“

“grate pizza and the baklava with ice cream was awesome“

“I needed a solid sandwich to fuel a long hike and this place came through big time! I grabbed the Italian sub and it was loaded with fresh ingredients and tons of meat -- super flavorful and held up perfectly all the way to the top of the mountain. Nothing better than a great sandwich with a view (highly recommend tryng this!)

The staff was also incredibly nice and accommodating to my needs, making sure everything was just right for a to-go order. You can tell they take pride in what they do. I will definitely be back!“

“I love this place! From their hazy IPA to the great atmosphere, it’s our go to. The little container on the trail is my favorite next to the pea patch. We always enjoy playing corn hole and hanging out in the sun on a nice day with a good brew. The larger Chainline is nice too, perfect little place for catching a game or a stop when running errands. I love that they have dog treats and there are always pups around.“

“LOVE this place! I have a lot of dietary restrictions (AIP) due to an autoimmune disease and can rarely eat out while also having the food be compliant. The staff was great about making a few changes to my smoothie and checking ingredients. I was so excited to see bone broth on the menu and oh my goodness!! It was incredible! I got the Immunity Chicken broth and I had to restrain myself from ordering another before I finished my smoothie. So good! Can’t wait to go back again and I am very pleased to finally have a place I can go eat out with friends. Thank you Sano!“

“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“

“Best gluten free burger and chickens! With dedicated gf fryer

The burger bun finally doesn’t crumble apart… chewy and delicious.

Outside seating only, there are only 5-6 tables.

Definitely coming back on a sunny day!“

“Love the Boba Tea especially with extra Boba🧋“

“Kids love the gelato. You get a lot for your money. They couldn’t even finish. Staff is always super friendly.“

“Hangry Joe's sauce was fantastic, had a subtle sweetness, and I dont usually like sweet on chicken. Slaw wasnt too wet, so it didnt soak the bun. Gentleman behind the counter was nice and enthusiastic. The dining area was clean but not very interesting, and theres only one trash can tucked in the far corner. And the meal deal was a great deal for city prices and the big piece of chicken on the sandwich.“

“For the second time in two days, I found myself in downtown Kirkland. It was a cold day and the idea of a warm drink drove me and the lovely lady I was with into Zoka. It is a big space with plenty of windows to make it bright inside. We ordered tea from a lively worker and claimed the big comfy chairs by the north windows. The place was about half full of people chatting. The other conversations made me rearrange the chairs so that I could hear.
In between sipping our drinks (Mine was very bitter. Maybe I left the tea bag in too long) we had a pleasant conversation in the private area we had built with the chairs. The other tables are packed together. They would be ok for working (With headphones in) but not for chatting.
One note about getting there - parking in Kirkland is a pain in the back bumper. Spaces are limited and there is a full time cop checking cars in the lot. You can pay on an app, but make sure to not go over your time.“

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

“Happy Lemon…I love you!

First, don’t live in PNW any longer. I can’t get a boba to save my desiccated, shriveled up, dry taste buds in Phoenix. So happy to pop in for my Lemon jasmin green tea with Lychee. 30% sugar. Light ice. I’ve missed you!

So sorry super kind boba genius, I was too caught up in the moment to look away from my boba tunnel vision to catch your name. You were kind and friendly you deserve better than that. Oh and the place look so clean and perfect.

I love my drink. I may even have to share with my family tomorrow. What? No they have to get their own. Love them and all…but not enough to share!

Thank you so much for perfect order, super clean store, friendly team member who even explains what the heck salt cheese is (uh forgot already…but maybe cream cheese, whipped cream, something something and a pinch of pink salt), and brightening another PNW day with an awesome drink!“

“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.“

“We enjoy visiting this location. Staff is always friendly and facilities are always clean. Mobile ordering is a breeze“

“This self-service concept where we ordered first and then bus to our own cleaned up. Despite this, we returned for a second visit!

The first time, we ordered teh tarik, which unfortunately was rather bland, tasting more like milk than tea. However, the nasi lemak was flavorful with a small portion of sambal, but the sambal had a surprising level of heat. This was unexpectedly good, especially since the cold weather made us crave some warm and comforting food. We also ordered kaya butter brioche toast and Milo.

The second time, we ordered Mamak Mee Goreng, coffee, Mocha bomb and curry meatballs. The Mamak Mee Goreng was good but lacked the expected spiciness. We searched for chilli sauce in the open space, but unfortunately, there was nowhere to be found. The drinks were mediocre.

So overall, it felt like Malaysian fusion, where we did not expect an exact replica of the originals, we hope for a taste closer to 80% of the authentic level.“

“This is the best coffee around! Everyone there is super friendly and most of them knows my Caramel Macchiato drink (stirred!) And they just make for me without having to ask! Hailey and Misty are my favorites. And they laugh at my stupid Dad Jokes!“
