Have a good wine selection so step outside of the box and try a wine you never had before, the waiter can suggest. The prices are good, but remember the serving are large, you will not leave empty. This is a must place to go, you will enjoy it, and will come back.“

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

“Good food and good staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Will be back!“

“My second time here in recent past, and both times I was happy with my food but a little sad to see when I walked it it was otherwise empty. I see a lot of negative reviews in the past for here, and I don't get it. Other than I think people's expectations for instant gratification may be a big influence. Came here with my parents as walk-ins on a Wednesday. Place was empty. Another group of 6 came in with a reservation after us. They definitely do a decent amount of takeout business, but I hope people support this place! It's a no-nonsense mom & pop little restaurant with good Thai food. I had the Chiang Mai Noodles which is in a yellow curry like a soup. Beautiful presentation (see picture), I ordered 4 star spiciness and received the perfect bit of burn and runny nose, extremely flavorful, noodles were perfect, crispy noodles on top for some crunch. It was a generous serving but I just devoured it until the bowl was empty. My mom had pad Thai, my dad the red curry, both were happy. Also got the crab crispy dumpling appetizer and fresh rolls to start and they were fresh and great! This is great Thai food serving a local community. If you want Michelin star service, go pay $500 per person somewhere downtown Seattle or whatever. My food was tasty. My water was refilled. Food came out at a normal speed because they weren't busy, and the group of 6 that ordered after us also got their food soon after and they all seemed pleased. They asked to make sure there were no peanuts in one person's dish due to allergy and that they used Canola oil and not peanut oil, both of which the server confirmed. Support small businesses and restaurants, it's tough out there for these little places!“

“Walked by the night before and didn't have time to pop in after work, but took note of the cool looking new spot in GTown. Checked out the menu and my mind (and belly) wouldn't allow me to go another day without experiencing the enoki fritters, so a late lunch ensued with fritters and street corn today. Ridiculously tasty, will be back with friends and family to try the rest of the menu and I'm sure you'll be serving my coworkers (repeatedly) as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Underrated Teriyaki and Korean food restaurant with easy take out. Best teriyaki on Rainier and perhaps in town. The only fault that it is closed on Sundays. Quite delicious food options. This is the place you want to go for a delicious meal.“

“This place is amazing. We just moved to the neighborhood and got to try it for the first time and I’m already looking forward to going back. We got the Nam Khao and beef skewer plate and both were so delicious. Sticky rice was perfect and the Lao sauce was so good and spicy, like a sambal. The Nam Khao was crispy and I loved the fermented pork! It was my first time trying that dish and I wasn’t disappointed.

Our server was very nice and had a great sense of humor. He whipped us up some delicious cocktails as well!

I highly recommend Sap Sap and I’m already looking forward to going back and trying other dishes.“

“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!!“

“BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. You get delicious authentic hot pot plus a side of KBBQ. We chose the all-you-can-eat for about $30 a person.

The meat was fresh and they had incredible quality cuts. All you can eat hot pot, bbq, plus sauce, drinks, and ice cream.

Service was also great - they checked on us often and keep the restaurant very clean.“

“Absolutely loved this hot pot experience! 🍲 The broth was rich and flavorful, with plenty of options to choose from. All the ingredients were fresh—especially the meats, seafood, and vegetables—and everything cooked perfectly in the pot.
The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was cozy and great for sharing a meal with friends or family.
If you’re a fan of hot pot or trying it for the first time, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great food I love the scenery great date night“

“Delicious family-owned restaurant. So special, unique in the neighborhood. Small-batch cocktails - they make their own limoncello. Each plate is prepared fresh, in an open kitchen, with care and attention. These are people who care about their product and not just a profit. Enjoy the K-Pop!!“

“Beautiful decor great food,and super delicious food I think this will be a great addition to Belltown.“

“We were so happy to discover this place on our trip over to Kirkland from Seattle. The food was very yummy. We had the green beans, sweet and spicy eggplant, and General Tso's chicken. Portions are huge so that we will have another dinner at home tonight. The owner (I believe)/server was so nice. She gave us a sample of their soups and sent some home with us. We will be back!!

“This is my absolute favorite spot to pop in for a casual lunch. It’s a calm, very quiet spot. Super nice for getting a plate of sushi and taking a moment to breathe. I personally will just go in there and prop up my phone, and throw on a youtube video or podcast. The vibe is very similar to a japanese cafe, where you can sit on your own, do your own thing, and there is no judgement for wearing headphones or being on a laptop. Also nice to do work in. Overall, this place is 10/10, they’re always super nice, and I will keep recommending this place to people whenever I can. Thanks Grain House!!“

“Delicious ramen, nice atmosphere. I love the fabric, backlit mural at their Alder wood location. stunning!“

“everything done perfectly! the ice tea was amazing. the sushi was delicious, and the crispy garlic chicken was so good.“

“First time there tonight. Very,very Good! Met my Daughter there and both the Server (Michelle) and the owner (Keith) were very attentive & welcoming. Food was great & plentiful. Looking forward to returning.“

“I’m staying at the hotel just across the street, and I couldn’t resist stopping by this gem! Let me tell you, it was an absolute thrill! I ordered the Chicken & Katsu along with a side of egg rolls, and wow, did it blow me away!

The chicken was cooked to absolute perfection! Instead of drowning in teriyaki sauce, it had this fantastic coating that gave it an incredible sweet teriyaki flavor while keeping it moist and packed with that delicious wok taste.

And the katsu? Oh my goodness! It was breaded to perfection, delivering that legendary Katsu crunch in every single bite! The in-house-made Katsu sauce added just the right touch of sweetness, making it an unbeatable combination.

As for the egg rolls, they were pure bliss! Crispy, crunchy, and bursting with flavor, they absolutely hit the spot!

I can’t recommend this place enough! You have to check it out!“

“Best Cambodian Restaurant in Seattle. Large traditional menu with non traditional items along with beer, wine, and boba“

“The food portions were decent with reasonable pricing, and the menu offers good variety. The staff was attentive. Flavor-wise, the dishes were good, though there’s room for improvement. We ordered both the vermicelli and beaf pho. The fresh spring roll appetizer was delicious. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere with a street view, but the restrooms could be better maintained.“

“On god this is the best vietnamese food in south Seattle, they make the most delicious vietnamese sandwiches and other food I don't even write reviews but they're sandwiches eggrolls, spring rolls and desserts are fire I would eat it everyday if I could haha“

“You can pay with cash at the counter, but don’t be surprised when you walk in and see a lot of people standing around. They’ve already placed their order on a kiosk and they’re waiting for their number to be called. There isn’t a lot of flexibility in the menu and I think that’s what makes the flow of service very easy for this company is a very good model of business. There is some dine in seating. Most people just walk out with the container in hand no bag ready to eat everything is pretty much teriyaki based chicken they charge you extra for spicy so I would recommend getting regular and then just adding your own sauce for spice so I don’t have any pictures. I already ate.“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“I’ve been going to the Grill Bird location in Seattle since I’ve moved here! But now that they are in my backyard I’m so happy! The food is always fresh and delicious and the people that work there are so friendly. Thanks for moving to Phinney Ridge!“

“My son and I love pho, and on day after his dental appointment next door, we wondered over here and discovered this place.
My first impression is that this place has an inviting, home-like feeling. They bake some pastries/donuts fresh themselves.
The pho was a hit for my son, and we thanked the lady who said it was her very own (or family?) recipe? That was our first visit, so I can't quite remember exactly 😅
I tried their breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Just the right amount, too.
I'm all about customer service and genuine people. And I can tell these guys have a passion for what they do.
We are always here when we come to this area 🌿🍜🍩🍽🥢“

“Great service by Tyler. The Pineapple fried rice was great!“

“I found this place due to reading some great online reviews. At 11, I was the only one in, but it quickly filled up. If you're going to try it, then get here early. I got the classic chicken and rice. The portion was large, and it was very tasty. I'll come back if I'm ever in the area again!“

“Hidden gem alert: Just tried Tokyo Flame Teriyaki in Lynnwood and wow—this place delivers flavor and comfort in every bite.

I ordered the chicken teriyaki combo and it was perfectly grilled, juicy, and glazed with that rich, slightly smoky sauce that makes you want to lick the container. The rice was fluffy, the veggies crisp, and the portion? Generous without being overwhelming.

The staff were super friendly and fast, and the place had a cozy, no-frills vibe that made me feel right at home. Prices are great too—definitely wallet-friendly without sacrificing quality.

If you're craving classic teriyaki done right, this spot is a must. I’ll be back for the spicy pork next time!“

“This is one of my go to places when I don't want to get food at work. I believe its a family owned business. My favorite is the regular teriyaki chicken. Food comes out freshly made, hot and the teriyaki sauce is the perfect balance of sweet. Usually do takeout as the lobby isn't the biggest but you can eat in. Very conveniently located by the Microsoft Studios. Way better than the chicken available on campus.“

“Very very delicious and amazing!! Will be coming back for sure. The moment I walked in I was taken away by the delicious smell of the food and when our food came they were top notch and exceeded our expectations! They are also 100% halal so that was another thing which we loved! Definitely worth trying definitely worth it!“

“Ordered the chicken teriyaki for takeout at lunch, the food was fantastic! The man at the counter was friendly and had my order ready in less than 5 minutes. Inside is not anything fancy, but clean and cozy. I can definitely see myself bringing a friend or two here for a meal and good conversation in the future.“

“I recently dined at Anchovies and Salt, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing the best of Vietnamese cuisine with a unique twist. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, making it hard to choose a favorite. The environment of the restaurant was inviting and cozy, with a vibrant atmosphere that made for a perfect dining experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. If you're in Seattle and craving some incredible Vietnamese food, I highly recommend checking out Anchovies and Salt. You won't be disappointed!“

“Love this place- great teriyaki, fruit, veggie tempura, california rolls, and other options. Friendly owners and great prices, especially for being in Columbia Tower. Hot tip- go between 2:10pm and when they close at 2:50pm for a 20% discount.“

“Excellent food and taste.“

“I was craving pho, and stopped in here after running an errand. It was AWESOME!! I was so happy. I ordered the veggie and tofu pho with beef broth to go, and I couldn't be happier. I will be going back, and soon! The prices were reasonable, and the broth was excellent! I highly recommend ;)“

“This spot feels less like a restaurant and more like a community hub. Homey & welcoming.

Coming from the restaurant background, I grew to love food places that have no gimmicks and are true to their standard - Pho Liu is on top of that short list in Seattle.

I go here 3 times a week & they serve consistently high quality pho. The small bowl (pictured) is more than enough & leaves room to try their delicious apps. Fish-sauced wings, spring rolls, egg rolls are all phenomenal.

One way to tell they take care of their craft is how long the noodles can sit in the broth without releasing any starch. Fresh noodles, perfectly cooked, and well strained. Also their bean sprouts and herbs are extremely fresh. Never once have I had soggy or bitter bean sprouts here - which is more common at pho places than you’d think.

The owner family & servers here are great & kind people, as well. The subtle cues are how many regulars I’ve seen on random visits and how well the fish (in the fish tank) are taken care of.

This neighborhood place is truly one of the last pre-tech boom Seattle relics.“

“I love Teriyaki but that best Teriyaki that I ever had was here, and I am always trying new places but I finally found my favorite one here, the portions are big it last me for two meals easy, I love the quality of the food as well. They service is also very good I feel a warm welcoming vive. I will recommend this place to anyone who really appreciates great service and loves delicious food. 🩷🩷🩷🩷“

“Amazing Sushi Experience! 🌸🍣

I had an incredible dining experience at Poke Bay! The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Each bite melted in my mouth, especially the salmon sashimi and toro nigiri. The chefs are highly skilled, and the staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcomed. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality sushi, this place is a must-visit! Can't wait to return and try more dishes. Highly recommended!“
