“best Peking duck, great atmosphere, friendly staff. highly recommend the ginger onion fish fillet and lamb chops!“

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

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

“The food was authentic and fresh, with servings so colossal, you could share with a friend! Despite being understaffed with just two workers, we got our food within 15 minutes. The kind and knowledgeable cashier, who also served our food, offered candid recommendations. Unfortunately, the dim lighting, lifeless ambiance, and eerie silence created a dull and unsettling atmosphere.“

“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 places blows us away every time. The Kao Piak Sen, or chicken soup with thick homemade rice noodles is so silky and hearty and soothing. The Lao sausage is incredibly flavorful and the mango sticky rice is some of the best we’ve ever had. Owner is also a hilarious and really nice. Lots of gluten free options, too.

Tell all your friends so this hidden gem in White Center sticks around!“

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

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

“Ordered the beef and chicken teriyaki combo with gyoza (T20) for 18.99 and was not disappointed. This place does teriyaki right, although some may say the sauce is too sweet for their liking. Personally, the sauce paired with the fried rice was well balanced. The gyoza was crispy but lacked flavor, and the dipping sauce it came with was too vinegary. I shared this plate with my sibling and we could only finish half of it. Great value for the amount of food you get.

Also got the bulgogi kimbap for $8.99 and found that the amount of rice was too much. I prefer a thin layer of rice so the filling inside can shine.
Service was great! Will come back in the future to try their yakisoba or chow mein.“

“I'm at the hotel across the street. I was originally going to walk over to the mall area and the Olive Garden, but I saw the sign for teriyaki and thought it would be good to support a small business.

I walked in through the mini mart. The man behind the counter asked if I was looking for teriyaki after I looked a little lost. He pointed me to the other side of the shop and met me over there.

I wish I'd thought to ask his name. He was very nice and personable. I told him I'd be in town for a couple days and was looking for a good spot. I asked what's good on the menu. He pointed out a few things, but I settled on the spicy orange chicken.

When I checked out, I thought it might be a tad pricey, but I also recognize the importance of helping a small business. While I waited for my order, I went back to the mini mart side and got a ginger ale and some gum. The same gentleman rang me up there.

Then, back next door, I looked at my phone for a minute or two, and he came back to thank me for my patience. While thoughtful, I was not put out at all, I had only placed the order a few minutes before, and it really didn't seem like much of a wait.

My food came out in short order, he bagged it up and put all the things I'd need (utensils, napkins, soy sauce) inside before I asked. He left me with a smile, and I walked across the street to my hotel to eat.

Bringing it up to my room, I saw that it was a lot of food. Honestly, I SHOULD have only eaten half and saved the rest for the next day. But I didn't.

The orange chicken was perfect. Just delicious. The rice was just right. Honestly, I can't think of a thing that would make it better.

Highly recommend for both the food and the service.“

“I had a hankering for udon soup, and Grain House delivered (and then some). The beef was good quality, and they went to the effort of packaging the soup separately from everything else so the noodles didn't get soggy. The basic house salad was also very affordable ($2.50) and delicious.

When I came here last August, I got the Crazy Sandwich cut roll and it was also delicious. And it came in the form of adorable little triangle sandwich slices. 10/10 would eat here again.“

“Amazing all around!

Clean, well lit restaurant. Even peeking into the kitchen, I could tell they take cleanliness seriously.

Service? Attentive and friendly. Also gave good suggestions and explanations, which was helpful.

The food? STAR OF THE SHOW. Wow! I had the Mala Pho with beef. The flavor is amazing and multi layored. Yes, it's spicy, but the flavor is so good that I couldn't stop, even after sweating! Broccoli and Bok choy are popping with freshness, the beef is tender, and the noodles are perfectly cooked so that they are soft & silky without becoming mushy. My wife had the Lemongrass Bowl. She loved it so much that there wasn't a single morsel left! My daughter, who doesn't typically like anything outside of mac-n-cheese and chicken fingers, tried some of my wife's dish, and she really liked it!

We also had the chicken skewers and the garlic wings as appetizers. My daughter, who is very picky, loved the wings! Crispy on the outside, tender & juicy on the inside. The chicken skewers were delicious as well.

Lastly, I treated myself to a couple of the Meekong Mules-- a Vietnamese take on a Moscow Mule. The fresh basil makes all the difference, and it's wonderfully refreshing!

If we lived in Seattle, we'd be regulars for sure. Visited twice in our five day stay already and might go again tonight!“

“Customer Service, a great selection of food, the casual layback atmostphere, enjoy the food, don’t rush. 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.“

“Great food I love the scenery great date night“

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

“Nissi Banh is a Vietnamese deli, which is a staple of many Vietnamese communities. There are a lot of freshly made take-out and pantry items to choose from, and the staff is always nice.

I would recommend these options:
* bánh giò (banana leaf wrapped steam rice cake with ground pork) - The rice cake and pork are moist and tasty.
* nem nướng (pork meatball skewers) were really good and the flavor is just like the ones I ate growing up
* bánh ít trần (mung bean sticky rice dumplings): soo good with nice amount of filling

The bánh cuốn (rice rolls with ground pork) were okay, but from my experience, it’s harder to maintain freshness for this unless you go to a sit-down restaurant that serves it as soon as it’s made.

I haven’t tried the bánh mì or drinks here, which seem to be the most popular options here, but will hopefully be back to try them.“

“I LOVE their Spicy Garlic Chicken, it's charred, spicy and garlicy to the perfect degree, the only thing that could make it better, is if they were open after work hours and weekends, but I get it and respect it. Best Teriyaki in Seattle!!!!“

“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 leaving a glowing review after having a fantastic experience at this charming, family-owned bakery and deli with Asian influences! I enjoyed the meatball Banh Mi, which was my first time trying it, and I loved the quality of the meat and its seasoning. You can tell it was put together with care and intention. The food was neither cheap nor of poor quality. Additionally, the service was great, and the staff was friendly, creating a very relaxed environment.“

“This is my go-to teriyaki place. Is it a tiny little hole in the wall with limited seating? Yes. But the food is amazing and the people are super nice. They offer generous portions, and the ingredients are clearly fresh and high quality. Spicy chicken is bomb, beef teriyaki is delicious, but the crispy garlic chicken is really where it's at. Big pieces of meat with no gristle whatsoever. So so so good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp“

“This place has surprisingly good value! They don't nickle and dime you. Free sauce bar, free drinks, free ice cream, free fruit slushie when you get seated. You will pay $40 plus tax and tip, and that's it

This is our new hot pot place!“

“I’ve lived in Seattle, my entire life and the quality of the Teriyaki restaurants left here seems to be going downhill… but not Teryiaki Madness!!!

The service was extremely friendly. The food was fast, fresh and hot. Portions were large and everything was cooked to perfection! If you’re looking for that authentic fresh Seattle Teriyaki, you’ve come to the right place.“

“Absolutely delicious teriyaki! We had the chicken teriyaki and a boba tea. Our server graciously asked if we could enjoy gyoza that comes with the teriyaki before bringing it out.
Cute, fun atmosphere and delicious food!
We’ll definitely be back.“

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

“I recently dined at Gametime Pho Tavern and was thoroughly impressed with their exceptional customer service. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and attended to. They offered bun bo hue on their menu, and I must say it did not disappoint. The flavors were authentic, and the dish was served piping hot, just the way I like it.
Overall, I highly recommend Gametime Pho Tavern for anyone looking for delicious Vietnamese food. It's definitely become one of my favorite spots to dine out!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and taste.“

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

“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.“

“Having grown up in Singapore, I'm always on the hunt for good Singaporean, Malaysian, and Indonesian food. ASEAN Streat Food Hall did not disappoint. Their Singapore Noodles had the right mixture of spices to bring me home again. With huge portions and such a wide variety on the menus it will take at least a dozen visits to try them all.“

“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 ;)“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“Best pho I have had in while, broth was not watered down and there was so much meat in my pho. The broth was rich, fresh, savory and did not have that watered down licorice taste, like almost all the pho place in the PNW. Really liked how everything thing you needed was already at the table, like chili oil and didn’t have to ask for it. Pho was piping hot, didn’t have to wait long for the steak and brisket to cook. I will be back (going back tomorrow again lol).“

“s definitely a better quality than plain ground beef, but I didn’t feel it was quite that tasty. Beef was dry, and didn’t have any buttery taste, a but it a step down from say the beef used in a crying tiger dish. The rice was different, but not like it was particularly amazing. I liked that there was a lot of green onions. I also greatly enjoyed the Lemon Garlic sauce, it was definitely well made and umami.For the price tag of $23+ I felt the portion size wasn’t great, and the meal taste wasn’t much of a wow factor. For an office lunch, I would prefer something cheaper with greater portions size. There wasn’t much rice, and I felt it was a little thinly layered. I was more like 70% full after eating this.If you want to try something new and splurge a little then try Umami Express Wagyu Beef. This was decent food, I however will likely not order again“

“I recently visited Asian Express Restaurant for lunch, and it was a fantastic experience! This buffet-style restaurant offers a wide variety of authentic Asian dishes, allowing diners to sample a little bit of everything. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The concept of weighing your food ensures that you pay only for what you take, making it a great value for money. Although they only offer lunch and no dine-in options, the quick service and delicious offerings make it an excellent choice for a satisfying meal on the go. I highly recommend Asian Express for anyone looking to enjoy a diverse and delicious Asian buffet during lunchtime, and I can’t wait to return!“

“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!“

“Yummy buns variety of any kind you want to eat So tasty I’ll come back“

“Excellent food & staff!!! Had peanut noodles ���“

“The owner was super nice. We enjoyed a variety of foods. All were great. Very easy access from the light rail. We jumped off the train on our way to the airport. Worked perfectly as they were extremely quick. I understand they also have free parking.“

“Delicious custard taiyaki and toffee coffee. I did a last minute order from here, and wow; both things were amazing. ❤️“

“Very fine Japanese restaurant!“

“Great food, fun atmosphere and good service!“

“Great food and customer service“

“Best dumplings. Staff is very nice and kind.“

“So good! Food was served quickly & SO delicious. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Quick to clear our table of empty dishes. Highly recommend! We will be back very soon!“

“My husband and I stumbled on this place during one of our visits to Seattle and now we go out of our way to stop at this place when we visit! Tons of options, always quick and delicious.The last time we were there we met the owner An and she was so sweet. She gave us some samples of other dishes we didn't order and even some baked goods from her coffee shop next door.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a delicious lunch option downtown!“

“Really good take out teriyaki; perfect balance of flavors. If the spicy teriyaki isn't hot enough for you, they'll add extra spice. The shrimp yakisoba was also good and had plenty of vegetables.

I recommend take out only; the atmosphere is pretty drab.“
