Restaurants in Mercer Island

“This restaurant is amazing and exactly what Mercer Island needed. We sat at the bar and had exceptional service by our bartender Natalie. We tried and shared several dishes, and all of them were excellent! So flavorful and unique. We started with their orange tofu, which is a take on orange chicken. Absolutely delicious! Even non-tofu fans would love this dish. My dining partner enjoyed the spam Musubi Which was his favorite and he would definitely order this again! I had the seared Ahi tuna, which was done rare to perfect perfection we shared a Korean Banchan salad, which was very flavorful and complex with a great crunch. we finished with the Indonesian style fried rice entrée, and loved the depth of flavor.To top it off, they have incredible and unique cocktails. The owner is very hands-on and came to greet everyone at the restaurant. Such a nice personal touch.Really can’t recommend this place enough and already looking forward to my next visit.”

“Hands down, the best Mexican food in the Seattle area! The flavors are so authentic, and every taco is a perfect harmony of fresh, bold ingredients that you just can’t find anywhere else. This family-owned taco truck goes above and beyond with outstanding service, and you can really feel their passion for sharing true Mexican flavors with the community. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the handmade salsas, every bite is unforgettable. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Mexican food with heart!”

“Shawn’s bakery is simply the best! Mouthwatering sandwiches, soups and don’t get me started on his pretzel roles. The Artichoke and Pesto sandwich is amazing and the Fig sandwich is over the top! Thank you Shawn for delighting our taste buds.”

“Update: went back and the fries we great again! Thanks for listening.

I’m really glad Haps reopened, as it’s a true Mercer Island treasure. That said, the fries I just had, which used to be great, were some of the worst I’ve ever had. They tasted like someone had just microwaved a batch that had been made hours ago. I really hope this is a one-off experience.”

“We love the food at el sombrero, they have the best margaritas in Seattle.”

“Matcha Lover's Dream!
The matcha croissant here is absolutely divine! I arrived a bit early and had to wait for them to be fresh, but it was worth it. The latte was also excellent. If you're a matcha fan, this is a must-try!”

“Great spot! Enjoyed Happy Hour very much. Aperol Spritz, Margherita Pizza, Arugula Salad & House Red Wine all great! Service was excellent and attentive. Will be back for sure.”

“Delicious sushi!! Modern, bright and clean. We will definitely be back!!”

“This is pretty much the only pho place I’ve found in the Seattle Area that does authentic noodles (what you actually find in Vietnam) . Love them. Broth and shredded chicken are both solid.”

“I get $15 Uber eats credits every month. Buys me one bowl of poke. For Mercer island, a place with very few food options, it’s good enough for me to come back :)”

“This is our go-to comfort food spot for chicken satay, massamun curry, and a coconut milk Thai iced tea. We’ve been coming here for 30 years after karate and driver’s ed and half days and for celebrations and on rainy days and lunches with my grandmother. I hope Pon Proem is here forever! It’s always a special treat in our family, even now that my own daughter is grown. ❤️

“this place is smackin !!!”

“It's very quick for a lot of food and the service here is beyond excellent. I was honestly surprised with how nice the staff is here. I was indecisive with how much of an amazing selection they have since they have a lot of options but I definitely recommend anything with chicken. Their noodles were also excellent. I ended up getting this to-go and there was so much food that I had some leftovers for the following day which was still great.”
