Best Restaurants
“TL;DR: lines at opening. The curry is really good! Try the Kabocha Fries. On the spendy side, good date night spot.Parking: very small shared lot. Expect to street park during peak hours--you may have to walk a ways.Atmosphere: cozy diner feel with bar, bar tables, booths, dining tables. Not really accommodating for extra large parties.Service: pretty popular space so expect lines to form before opening. Wait to be seated, you will be watered, menu brought to you, check brought to you, box your own leftovers upon request.Menu: two descriptive pages with minimal images. There are different cuts of pork to choose from so read the descriptions carefully before choosing which one to go with your meal. Plates are a bit on the spendy side but it is very filling.Kid Friendliness: not very accommodating in terms of entertainment for little kids, high chairs available upon request, no kids menu.Kabocha Fries: it's pumpkin-like squash slices that are breaded, fried and seasoned. Very tasty!Katsu Curry Set: the meal set comes with shredded cabbage, miso soup, and a tiny dish of pickled veggies. Oh man the curry is really good. It's not spicy at all and the pickled veggies go really well with it! Who knew dark chocolate could add so much richness?! The cabbage that it comes with goes really well with the provided dressings on the table (I like the light brown sesame dressing best). Miso soup wasn't really anything to write home about but it is a nice palate cleanser along with the shredded cabbage.Kurobuta: tasty cut of pork that isn't chewy and is not dry at all! Excellent with the curry! Love the crunch and dipping it in curry.”
“Very friendly staff and decent beer selection. This would be a good spot for the unparticular beer drinker or those who prefer things on the IPA and hazy end of the spectrum. They have food trucks and are dog friendly.”
“The best Italian food you will get in the PNW. I am 100% Italian and very picky with authentic Italian food and this place is THE BEST! I have eaten at many Italian Restaurants in Seattle and Tropea has them all beat. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend a visit!”
“Wonderful ambience with a huge variety of dishes. Had spring rolls for starters, Tom Yung soup, Bai tong noodles, jasmine rice, curry.Excellent taste and attentive service.”
“Great restaurant for Microsoft employees and their friends and family. The rotating menu is every month so you always get a fresh selection. Been here a bunch of times and it's always good. Sometimes their dishes aren't the best, most of the time it's good, that's why I'm giving it 4 stars.Today I had butternut squash soup, shrimp crab tamale, and pumpkin cheesecake, every dish was so good.Highly recommended especially for the price. Make sure to reserve one or two weeks in advance.Vegetarian options: Items on menu marked as vegan, they always have one entree that is vegan.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Top notch craft brewing at its finest!Stop in and grab a pint on date night or in between dropping the kids off at practice.I really like the in house nitro brews!Only trouble is there's currently no kitchen for hot food so you'll be stuck with eating cashews if you're hungry.”
“If you're in the mood for a satisfying meal with generous portions, Tipsy Cow in Redmond is worth considering. While it might not offer the absolute best burger in town, it certainly holds its own with flavorful options. The portions are impressively large, ensuring you won't leave hungry. Service is quick and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. The restaurant boasts a pleasant decor and atmosphere, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal. Additionally, the availability of street parking and validated parking adds convenience to your visit. Overall, Tipsy Cow offers a reliable choice for a satisfying dining experience.”
“So all I had was the green salad and the mozzarella sticks. But both were incredibly good. The mozzarella sticks were fried perfectly and weren't too greasy. The salad was mixed greens but had arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers and croutons. It was topped with a vinegrette that had basil in it. One of the better salads I've had at a restaurant.My boyfriend and his friends enjoyed their meals and their beers as well, the staff are really nice. We got served by Bryce. That guy deserves a raise. We will definitely be coming back.Vegetarian options: Salad. Mozzarella sticks. Sweet potato fries.Dietary restrictions: Heavy on meat and dairy. Salad was really good. Didn't see a vegan option beyond that and the fries.”

“I got 2 scoops in a waffle cone and it was $11 and change. A little pricey for ice cream, but it was delicious. I got the vegan coconut chunk and seasonal chocolate toffee cookie dough. Both flavors were absolutely delicious!The place was super clean and the staff was friendly even though it was one of the first sunny days so there was a huge, never-ending line. The guy with dangly earrings was killing it too, greeting everyone, fast but still friendly.The reasons I knocked off a star:1. I waited in line for over 20 minutes, and for the first 10 no one moved so we were standing in the direct sun. When it did move, it moved quickly though!2. There were also three people working the front - one making cones and two helping people. The cone person is the first one you come across and she totally ignored everyone. The second gal did too, and they both were like weirdly glancing at a specific ice cream container to each other so you could tell something was going on but they weren't communicating like "hey, someone will be with you" or whatever, which was kind of odd and made me want to make sure NOT to get that flavor.Parking: There is 2 hour parking on the street and a paid lot after 2 hours not far, but fills up QUICK on weekendsKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly”
“Great food! The extra hot sauce is excellent!Parking: Parking was easy in the middle of the afternoon. Might be a little more full during peak lunch and dinner times.”
“Went on a Friday night and was too hungry to wait the 1.5 hrs to get a table, so came back earlier the next day and got a table after 45 min. Well worth the wait! Tables are all in a covered outdoor area, so bring a coat because it’s a bit chilly if you’re not directly under a heat lamp. The cocktail list is small (they have a micro bar) but all the drinks were well made. Negroni was perfect and not too bitter. Beet & Arugula salad was nice and fresh, loved the hazelnuts in it. They sold out of Detroit pizzas in their first hour so we got three of their regular pizzas that were all delicious. The crust is super fluffy and not soggy at all. I’m usually a marinara crust dipper but the homemade ranch stole the show. Definitely coming back armed with snacks and a warm coat for the long wait!”
“Wow! An outta this world experience! Great place to chill, get some amazing food and enjoy a beverage.Vegetarian options: Salads that can include as many add-ons as you want!Kid-friendliness: Arcade!”
“Pretty great overall. Good coffee, food, and service. Sometimes there’s some weird super christians in there though, ugh. Don’t like jesus people ruining my coffee experience. But otherwise it’s a good place, if a bit ”
“Breh, we hit the jack pot ?My gf and I often struggle to find any late night spots, and this is easily one we will return to. Vibes, food, and service were top notch.”
“Consistent great experience. Great noodle texture, flexibility, variety (good for 7 year old and adults), and most of all, great services every time. This is one of our regulars.”
“Felt like someone's grandmother cooked me a meal .Fresh Ingredients tender chicken, lamb, and steak. Great sauces and hummus. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend ?”
“This bakery is exceptional. I only found out about it because I tried their macaroons at a cafe down south in Kent. I was in the area and decided to drop by and get myself a box of macaroons. I ended up buying a piece of cake as well. When walking in, you can tell it's not a sit down place to order and enjoy. The ladies in the back are hard at work and making a ton of desserts. I got 2 of each flavor they had from the macaroons. I've been to Paris and I didn't even like macaroons as much as I did these. That's how good they are. The inside is clean, well maintained and I loved the woman who served me. She made sure I was taken care of and helped me carry things to the car. Can't wait to be back. This is my favorite macaroon spot!”
“About the best burrito I've had and its turbo big. That's an easy 2 meals for 10 dolla I am SCREECHIN for joy about Bandido. Mexican GF says the tacos are bonafide real top of the line they taste ”
“Being a vegetarian, it is tough to find a ramyeon place catering vegetarian options. This place has very limited yet decent options and it is my go to place for some comfort food. My non-vegetarian friends enjoy the place too.Vegetarian options: They have 4-5 vegetarian options. For the main course, only one vegetarian option though. I love their potato croquettes and vegetarian gyoza.”
“Family pancake house I think has better value and a few things here are a bit of a miss like the burrito. But their pancakes are the absolute best I would just come here and just order those.”
“Delicious food, wonderful people, and a lasting impression! I can’t wait to try more and tell all of my friends to come get some delicious treats. So so worth it!”
“Great experience with a double vanilla Americano and the expert and friendly barista service of Halle and Lexie. Fun little location with great drinks, food, pastries, and outdoor seating. Recommended!”
“Very friendly staff and decent beer selection. This would be a good spot for the unparticular beer drinker or those who prefer things on the IPA and hazy end of the spectrum. They have food trucks and are dog friendly.”
“A true five star place. Had the spicy miso ramen, so much flavor and such high quality for 20 bucks in an age when jack in the box costs 16, will definitely be back!Wheelchair accessibility: All one room with no steps and there is a bar where wheelchairs could be placed allowing you to sit alongside friends”

“Ordered the winter only lamb with Chinese herbal hot pot (羊肉爐) and steam cod with special bean sauce (豆酥鱈魚). The lamb has skin and tender all around. Very nice. Not huge amount but understantable as lamb with skin is quite expensive here. Flavour is correct. Special bean sauce add nice interesting flavour to the steam cod. Not many places has this dish. Overall, pretty good but price is definitely on higher side. Will come back for other food likely although have to order conservatively or else your wallet will be empty lol”
“This place is so fun!! The grounds are gorgeous and the tasting is good. You get to keep the glass as a souvenir which is fun. I went in late October and was just mesmerized by all the gold colors of their property.”

“This is a regular place we go to because the food never disappoints! Their brunch menu on the weekends is amazing and I’m writing this review because of how amazingly consistent the food and service is. We ordered something that the kitchen was out of and the chef actually recreated the dish for us because they felt bad. Rena was our server and she made our whole experience amazing! She went back and forth with the kitchen to figure out our meal for us. I just had to write a review because you truly don’t find good service like this anymore! Also the fried chicken and gravy for brunch is to die for!!”
“We went for an early dinner on Saturday after seeing a movie. I got the March special - Langostino pasta and my mom got the seafood chowder and scallop risotto. We each got a drink - I got the ginny hendricks and a huckleberry martini. For dessert we had the creme brulee and chocolate souffle to go.Food: chowder was delicious - flavorful and good sized chunks of all the seafood. Risotto and pasta were absolutely to die for - lots of lobster in mine and four HUGE scallops in my mom's. The sauces were so creamy and flavorful. Both desserts were tasty as well, even after being transported home! The white chocolate ice cream with the souffle was my favorite, but the amaretto flavor in the creme brulee was also noteworthy.Drinks: both of mine were really good and stiff! There were some cucumber seeds in the ginny hendricks, which were annoying but not terrible.Service: we had Preston, who was very prompt, helpful (we had trouble choosing between the prime rib, the stroganoff, and the dishes we ended up getting. I hadn't even noticed the specials until he mentioned them!) and overall a great server!”
“Sasha was our server and we enjoyed every second of it! Everything from his jokes to his character made our dinner that much better. Our drinks were always full and the check ups were perfect. The amazing chicken parmesan was the cherry on the top to this excellent restaurant. We will definitely be coming back for the great food and service!”
“Really delicious food. The ingredients they use are well above the norm. The salmon burger had a large, thickish piece of salmon, a gorgeous bun that was tender but also held up well and the hand cut fries were some of the best we have ever had. Deeply golden brown, tender but not soggy and plenty of crispy bits. The large pretzel was good and the ahi salad was fresh and flavorful with a really nice combination of heat, spices and textures.”
“I had a fantastic time at the restaurant. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. In addition to our initial order, we decided to share a steak, and our server went above and beyond by kindly splitting the steak in half and serving it on two separate plates. It truly enhanced our dining experience.”
“Excellent food and service! My favorite is the Arroz con Pollo but everything I've had is great. Salsa and refried beans with chips is top notch. Fast and frequent service. My only critique is their margaritas are just a tad on the sweet side, but not enough to make me stop drinking them!?”
“This is our favorite go to Indian cuisine restaurant and indeed probably one of our favs of any restaurant. We usually get chicken tikka masala, mutar paneer, garlic naan and samosas.”
“So I wanted to try a new place for wings and I figured I’ll give this place a try ! and let me tell you these bad boys came in smoking hot and so tasty on delivery ? ... Definitely recommend the wings :) and next time I should dine in ?”
“Not sure what people are complaining about pricing. So long as you are ordering a lower priced protein like chicken, shrimp or just a steak its hard to find a complete dinner for $30-$40 these days.The service is a bit of a miss mistaking the tables orders but rectified it quickly.Don't sleep on the tempura ice cream it's actually really well balanced and the cake is not overly sweet, reminding me of a tempura version of a baked alaska”
“I think they were understaffed (only one person) so service was really slow. The pizza was surprisingly good (chewy crust, lots of cheese) and the one person behind the bar was nice.”
“This is a simple no-frill straight-to-the-point restaurant with very authentic Xi’an food. Way better than the typical so-called Xi’an style chain-restaurants when it comes to authenticity, serving portion, and the size of the place where a good number of customers can actually have legit tables to sit at to dine in.”
“On a Sunday morning thanks to other hyped brunch places having long wait times, I came across this place and I am glad to have found this. This place is huge with good selection of dishes, very flavorful, good service and ambience. I had shrimp and grits which was very good! Will definitely go back to try other dishes!”
“This was the first time eating there, wonderful experience. We had the caprese chicken and gnocchi. Both were excellent. We were there at lunch, great service and ambiance, not too noisy.”

“Always an excellent dining experience. The 3 of us shared a bottle of chanti, salads are always excellent; the special seafood linguine was amazing, as were the lobster ravioli. Tiramisu a must have. Save room!”
“My small group guys and I heard the spot got new management so we came by to check it out. And it did not disappoint! The quality of the meat and side dishes were excellent. It's nice to see a Korean bbq spot not compromise the quality of their ingredients. Also, the servers were so friendly and attentive. You don't feel nervous asking for help or service as you sometimes would at other spots. As a Korean I'd highly recommend. And don't forget to try their Gookbap!!”

“I've known Ryan, the owner, for years as YAAMS... and he's made an awesome place for coffee there in Redmond. Hires good people, makes better coffee than any place around, and carries his cool and easy vibe. Worth the drive!”
“Fantastic beers and friendly staff. They had something on tap for every preference in our group. The rice lager and hefeweizen were my favorites. They had a limited edition hefe batch on tap that i ended up walking out with a growler of, very tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The seating area is small, the entry shop and counter are as well so it has the feel of a brewery that just happens to have a tasting room and that is A OK with me. DO NOT let that keep you from stopping in, the beers are worth it.”
“The best Italian food you will get in the PNW. I am 100% Italian and very picky with authentic Italian food and this place is THE BEST! I have eaten at many Italian Restaurants in Seattle and Tropea has them all beat. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend a visit!”
“The experience here is a step above right from the start. They give you fresh house made tortilla chips and two different house made salsas which are both unique. Not your typical pico or blended red / green sauce. They're presented in little carafes and you get to pour them into salsa cups yourself, so the pro-move here... make your own blend after tasting both individually!As for the regular menu. The carne asada is as good as any I've ever had and I grew up in southern California where great Mexican food in on every other corner. I so highly recommend their cheese enchiladas (red) and the fajitas... steak or chicken - delicious either way. Frankly everything on the menu is quality. Come and enjoy some great Mexican food before another Redmond institution is stolen from us to build another gaudy condo with some more hipster kale and poke nonsense.”
“Seems like a cool spot. Only stopped by for a cider at 8 pm on a Monday and it was admittedly a dead area but the cider was solid - light and refreshing and had plenty of options.I imagine when the weathers nice this place would have nice vibes.”
“I have been going here for years, and it's a staple in my family. They seem immune to the decrease in quality -> increase in price trend that has plagued nearly every establishment since our emergence into early post-human oligarcho-technocracy. Maybe it's sentimentality but this place is consistent above all else and has never sold me a sub-par burrito.”
“The food was delicious. They also do offer table service. I accidentally poured 2 tbsp of the hottest sauce in my taco and they gave me a new one for free. The service is great and the street tacos and quesadillas are amazing.”
“It's very dark inside. Wearing transition lenses I almost tripped over stuff. ... and there's a lot of it. All sorts of curiosities and tchotchkes to check out while you're waiting for your coffee. Cappuccino is fairly good, nothing special.”
“Delectable, fresh-from-the-oven (they also sell frozen BTW) and consistently tasty and full of flavors! We have now tried all varieties and still could not decide which is our favorite.”
“Had their concha’s, hot chocolate, and coffee at a local event. Everything was amazing, I’ve had concha’s my entire life and these are by far the best I’ve ever had. They do not skimp on quality and are by far the best. I would definitely make the hour trip to get a box of their stuff.”
“Great restaurant for Microsoft employees and their friends and family. The rotating menu is every month so you always get a fresh selection. Been here a bunch of times and it's always good. Sometimes their dishes aren't the best, most of the time it's good, that's why I'm giving it 4 stars.Today I had butternut squash soup, shrimp crab tamale, and pumpkin cheesecake, every dish was so good.Highly recommended especially for the price. Make sure to reserve one or two weeks in advance.Vegetarian options: Items on menu marked as vegan, they always have one entree that is vegan.”
“My wife and I ate here on a Sunday night. It was pretty empty (Sunday night on the Eastside...), but the food was very good, service was an interesting hybrid of ordering on your phone/tablet, but food still got brought to your table.The reason I removed one star is because I was charged for ketchup... I ordered a side of fries and when I asked for ketchup was told that it was an extra 50 cents. What the heck? Who charges for condiments?! Onion rings apparently come with your choice of a dip (ketchup), for afrre, but for fries there's no such option on the ordering app, and you have to walk to the counter to ask for ketchup, and pay for it... This is hospitality 101, and totally unacceptable. If you feel fries and ketchup should cost $4.50, then charge $4.50. Don't charge $4.00 for fries and then $.50 for ketchup. I'm glad I wasn't charged for salt.”
“Not sure why ratings are so low. This place is a hole in the wall shop that sells some Chinese cold delicacies but mainly steamed buns and soy milk. The buns are huge (like the size of an adult fist) and cheap like $3-4. Are they the best buns I've had? No but they're definitely tasty and filling. eating 1-2 will pretty much fill an average adult up and it's super affordable. We love stopping by and picking some up for a quick weekend lunch”
“Ordered a Cardamom & Caramel Latte. I was a little skeptical about the sweetness. Upon asking, the barista informed me that it’s a pretty sweet drink. They adjusted the sweetness on request to be less than 50% and the Coffee turned out to be great. Subtle and smooth.”
“Top notch craft brewing at its finest!Stop in and grab a pint on date night or in between dropping the kids off at practice.I really like the in house nitro brews!Only trouble is there's currently no kitchen for hot food so you'll be stuck with eating cashews if you're hungry.”
“What a hidden gem! I love a good girls night out and this is just the place.(Perhaps I should not be sharing this).The warm ambiance with the fire place and chairs/couches are a very inviting.It does not have a loud club "vibe", yet you are still feeling the GNO energy.Amy, our bartender/waitress, has been amazing on multiple occasions.Attentive, kind, engaging, always anticipating our next need. She's a true gem! This place is lucky to have her.Att in customer service! Truly, not sure I've had a better bartender/server!The food is wonderful! I dream of the ahi bites!If Amy and the Ahi are there, GNO will continue!”
“Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We've been here in years past, but they have a nice new fresh look. I'm not sure when that was done. The chips and salsa were fresh.”
“Nice location with a good selection of beer ???. There is space in the back stage where you can have a party with music and dancing. Kids are allowed, they don't provide food. The bartender is super nice . We came accidentally because other breweries didn't allow kids and we had a good time. I would definitely come again.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Never fails to disappoint! Even though it doesn’t show on the menu in person, the blue raspberry Italian soda without red bull with cream and whip is so good!!”
“Best fast food tacos in the area.Parking: There is about 6 spots for parking next to the Taco Time but the Taco Time in in a shared parking lot with other shops.”
“Didn't catch her name but the lady there this morning 2/3/23 was super nice. She took time to answer a couple questions and offered to make my coffee extra hot so it didn't get cold while I shopped for a few things. It's the little things that make a big difference!”
“I didn't like the idea of paying for an unfinished pizza. Better get a frozen one from the grocery store for less. But I reconsidered in the middle of the pandemic. This was our only take out as we were able to cook it. They are super tasty and with various toppings to add. They are ready in minutes. Not to many people inside as you go in and put quickly to pick up.. But the most important part is that they were exposing their lives and continued making food for some of us. Thank you!”
“Arby's in Redmond is a reliable spot for a satisfying meal that won't break the bank. The moment you step in, the first thing that catches your attention is the cleanliness of the eating area. I appreciate a tidy space, and this Arby's certainly delivers on that front. It's always a relief to dine in a place where you feel comfortable and at ease.Let's talk about the star of the show: their roast beef sandwiches. They've nailed the art of crafting a delicious roast beef sandwich. The meat is tender, flavorful, and piled generously between the buns. It's not just about the quantity; it's the quality that stands out. The seasoning is spot on, giving each bite a delightful savory punch. The sandwiches are consistently good, which keeps me coming back whenever I'm craving a hearty, meaty meal.One thing I admire about this particular Arby's is the speed of service. Even during busy hours, they manage to keep things moving efficiently without compromising on the quality of the food. It's perfect for those lunch breaks when time is limited but hunger is not.While the menu isn't overwhelmingly extensive, they have a good variety to cater to different tastes. From classic roast beef sandwiches to more adventurous options, there's something for everyone.The parking can be tricky seeing that it is in a busy area. Especially during the lunch rush Monday-Friday.In conclusion, Arby's in Redmond is a reliable go-to for a quick, tasty meal. The cleanliness of the eating area is a big plus, and their roast beef sandwiches are consistently delicious. If you're in the mood for a satisfying sandwich that hits the spot, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.---Let me know if you need any modifications or additional details!Parking: Can be tricky to find a spot Monday-during the lunch rush.”
“Bretul was so awesome I had let her know the frustration of my last drink being overcharged and she fixed it and made my day! She has great customer service! And so friendly!”
“Friendly quick service, and always delicious!Parking: about 20 or so spaces, usually never more than half takenKid-friendliness: my kids love the various optionsWheelchair accessibility: ground level with bump ramps”
“Tasty, accurate, fast. unlike another place next to trader joe's, this store asked me what sandwich to work on before putting sauces on it. Brilliant. Very thankful the manager put thought into that. If you order more than one sammich, you don't want the wrong dressings etc on them. They have a simple solution of getting clarity first. Much appreciated.Taste is good, quality is good, speed is amazing.Unlike a sammich shop in factoria, they don't check their feelings w/ each ingredient and fall into a zen zone or trance while perfecting their sandwich handcrafting skills for the upcoming olympics. I'm trying to be funny. It's just all too common to watch people go into an altered time zone of their own while making a sammich. I don't know what it is about this business that attracts people like that- but you won't find them here. Here, they make your sammich to your specs, and Fast. no dillydallying, no calgon take me away moments.Parking: they have lines you can park between? it's parking. Find a spot and park normal.”
“The ghost ? pepper ?️ chicken ? sandwich is ? .The loaded nacho burger ? is also pretty dang tasty ?. Their fries ? are always good too. The custom soda ? machine just puts it over the top.”
“Honestly their fries are pretty darn good. And one thing I do like about this dairy Queen location is it actually has like a full menu. There's a dairy Queen in Tacoma that only has fried foods and like no burgers but this place has a whole Shibang. Whoever is running the joint has been there for 25 years, at the point of them adding the plaque on the wall by the counter where they take your order. It's always nice to see a place where somebody who is stuck to their guns. Usually you have better service and better products at places that don't have high turnover rates among the management. But it looks like a bunch of tweens work there, but they still do good work. They're better than Burger King and taking care of their customers. A little inside joke for anybody who happens to read my reviewsVegetarian options: I think they had one option that was considered vegetarian. It's like an ice cream bar and I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure everything there is animal product. It's my favorite, but I'm trying to be clear for everybody out there who is a vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Dairy queen. Dairy. If you get explosive cuz you're lactose intolerant, they do have that full menu you can lean back on, but if your diabetic or lactose intolerant just don't come, the food is too good to resistParking: It's a corner lot that surrounded by parking spaces but it's also like situated inside of a like a strip mall or something, like the location itself isn't in a strip mall it's like the parking is for strip mall or various stores like as if it's some sort of a shopping center so there's plenty of parking even if you can't find a spot that's right outside the doors. Just looking out for that drive through that you have to cross to get in through either side of the store and you're stepping through technically the drive-thruKid-friendliness: Ice cream. Those little #@$+@&-$ scream for itWheelchair accessibility: Pretty sure you don't have to Bunny Hop your way in, you should be good. Just, don't get hit by blind drivers.”
“Had a great lunch from Panda Express @ Factoria. Organized, friendly, and lots of good portions to choose from. They were very quick with my order which is a plus! Love love love it ?”
“In the middle of a snow storm, in the midst of moving...my husband and I hadn't eaten all day ? we were very happy to find this McDonald's in Redmond Ridge, WA. Diana was there to help u with our order! Thank goodness she was because by the time we got there our brains were numb. Sorry, my brain was numb. I can't speak for my husband ?. Diana showed us how to use the kiosk...then after ordering, she brought us our food. Thankful for her kindness and patience.”
“I thought the first time was a fluke – – but their chicken is "spot on" as Chef Ramsey would say!The people are very nice also. Can't wait to try their Thanksgiving turkey ”
“Okay I made a review already, but now, if I could go any higher than 5 stars I would, so I'm going to post another review.BIG UPS to Jack In the Box!For a few reasons.1. The owner responded to my positive review. Most of the reviews I leave are positive ones. With a few simple clicks you can see that I have left a ton of reviews over the years. This maybe be the 1st time I've ever had a response. And seeing as how my last review was "guided" by Google and not 100% my topic, I figure I now had to up my ante and leave a proper review.2. I like my goshdern milkshakes, but the problem with other places in town, (everywhere from Tacoma to Seattle and Bremerton to Redmond) like to play the "our shake machine is down" card like as if they were McD's circa 2006. But the fact is, McD's had a "reason" -which wasn't laziness- for their milkshakes to be down, and it's actually a conspiracy.. look it up. The reason why BK lounge says the shake machine is down because they close in like an hour and they don't want to shut the machine down after closing time. They're trying to spare themselves 5 minutes of closeout activities. Aka, they are being lazy and selfish. Before I moved to the state of Washington I had plenty of time working in a restaurant and you know what, I win. I was a cook(at several places)at Hooters on "fight nights", Superbowls, Stanley Cups playoffs... Feel me? I didn't leave until after the patrons left, the patrons didn't leave until they felt like it because they paid to be there and I ,on average, left work around 4:30 in the morning, after starting at 2 pm. Sometimes solo. Sometimes earlier than afternoon start times. I would be cleaning and breaking down everything for over 2 to 3 hours. And even if it wasn't a massive sporting event I was still going to be there for at least an hour after close. So saving 5 minutes, and lying about a machine being " down" isn't acceptable, to me at least. One time within the last year I questioned the person handling the drive-thru line about how and why it was out of order and they told me that it was out of order because he was cooking by himself.... like, ok, then do your job, and serve the food you were hired to serve,by yourself, until BK puts on their menus "no longer serving ice cream after xx:xx". I digress with my aggression aside,and still, this is a trend that has been growing and growing. And I'm over it. It's tomfoolery.But.. the dedicated men and women at this here restaurant are the reason why I went to this here restaurant, spawning a reason to leave a review in the first place.... Cuz just prior to my arrival, BK lounge gave me that old play that I just talked about, so I backed out of their drive-thru line, and took my butt further away, because I knew they wouldn't play a sorry af card like that. And I was correct. I got me my Oreo milkshake with extra chocolate, and they closed within an hour of my arrival...3. Even if you want to say, "well that is standard service that you're mentioning above", then need I remind you that Jack in the box used to be the only 24-hour restaurant that sold breakfast the entire time, and tacos, at a burger joint? I grew up hearing fabled stories of JITB, as they don't exist in the murder mitten. And now, even if they aren't all open 24 hours like the majority used to be, THEY WERE STILL THE FIRST ONES TO GO BACK INTO 24-HOUR SERVICE AFTER "COVID"!!! THEY GOT BACK ON THEIR GRIND WHEN EVERY OTHER PLACE WAS STILL PUNK'N THEMSELVES ACTING LIKE THE BIG SCARY VIRUS WAS GOING TO GET THEM MORE AFTER DARK.JITB HAS NO FEAR. and I love that.4. The menu is so full of options, everything is legit good.5. The car antenna thingy of the Jack guy is so clutch, having one back in the day in the Midwest was serious pinky out s***. Fancy af. I still want one, just not sure how to get it? It was like a hundred times cooler than the Garfield window cling.6”
“Ordered on the app and accidentally selected the Kirkland location. The Redmond location accommodated me by stopping me as I was walking out after I realized I made the mistake and fulfilled my order in the store. It was a bad experience I created on my own turned into a great one.”
“It has been years since I was last here because I moved out of the area. It was a Monday night and so it was surprisingly quiet with a lot of open tables. We were greeted and welcomed just after we self seated by a server delivering an order to another large table. Shortly afterwards the barkeeper came across and after handling out questions about what was on tap and took our orders. We didn't order food because we'd eaten elsewhere but their pies are excellent! We had a pleasant evening chatting and they didn't pressure us to order more than one drink each. I'm really happy to report that this pub remains a favorite!”

“I love Musashi's. Delicious food, decent serving sizes for the price (especially the onigiri), quick service, and complimentary tea at each table! I can always find a spot to sit. My one complaint is that the seating is not very comfortable.I've also ordered takeout from them using DoorDash and everything comes just as I ordered it and very quickly, too!”
“We went for an early dinner on Saturday after seeing a movie. I got the March special - Langostino pasta and my mom got the seafood chowder and scallop risotto. We each got a drink - I got the ginny hendricks and a huckleberry martini. For dessert we had the creme brulee and chocolate souffle to go.Food: chowder was delicious - flavorful and good sized chunks of all the seafood. Risotto and pasta were absolutely to die for - lots of lobster in mine and four HUGE scallops in my mom's. The sauces were so creamy and flavorful. Both desserts were tasty as well, even after being transported home! The white chocolate ice cream with the souffle was my favorite, but the amaretto flavor in the creme brulee was also noteworthy.Drinks: both of mine were really good and stiff! There were some cucumber seeds in the ginny hendricks, which were annoying but not terrible.Service: we had Preston, who was very prompt, helpful (we had trouble choosing between the prime rib, the stroganoff, and the dishes we ended up getting. I hadn't even noticed the specials until he mentioned them!) and overall a great server!”

“Lock and load coffee! First time mercury visit, first time hooked and now an official fanboy! The insanely yummy scent of bold espresso when you walk in is utterly phenomenal.This location is awesome and is open early to grab a cup of joe for the start of the morning grind! Mercury's also has a killer rewards system which is dope and saves you a bang for your buck!”
“Winter pasta was really good, will go there again to have it :)Edit: went there again and tried their superfood salad and the dessert Caramel corn crème brûlée. They were both really good.”
“They added poutine to the menu!Palmers is my absolute favorite place in Redmond. Food is always fantastic, drinks are great and the staff is always friendly and professional.”
“Stopped in for an Almond Croissant and a Belgian Mocha to go.The croissant was buttery and sweet but not overwhelming, and the mocha was the perfect blend of espresso to chocolate.Service moved quick and was friendly.Would definitely come back even if there is another 15 min line!”
“Looks similar to StarbucksBut coffee tastes better and is not so bitterThere are indoor and outdoor seatsbut no powerThe clerk is friendly and the coffee price is very reasonable”
“I had such a lovely experience here! The barista was very friendly. I got lattes and they were good, too, especially for the price. Their baked goods looked good and wish I grabbed one! I plan to come back here!”
“What to do on a blustery spring Saturday? Well, you load up the Scouser neighbors, and you head to the British Pantry! We had a great time! It's a challenge for a WA State Hall of Fame Chef to find a place with food worth bragging about, and this is one, as the food seemed to ferry him cross the mersey. The service was attentive, and the tea was bottomless. In spite of being located in downtown Redmond, the parking was easy. After eating, of course it comes the shopping at the Pantry for baked and boxed goods of all sorts. You will enjoy this stop for sure!”
“They do an excellent job. All the breakfast classics! I get eggs over easy with ham, bacon, and sausage. If you do lunch or dinner, they have Ivers clam chowder!”
“I tried the Black Forest latte, and now I want to try all their signature drinks, all of them look amazing! Although it took a while for the coffee to be ready, it was delicious, and the place is very cozy and welcoming to chat with friends.”
“Great authentic Mexican street food! I have lived in LA and San Diego and these are just as good. The service is great, and the meal comes with a free can of soda. My carne asada salad was really good, it come with guacamole, pico, cheese, on a bed of green cabbage. Lots of vegetables and meat! Perfect for those looking for a health(ish) meal. Also there is plenty of parking and easy in/out.”
“Best teriyaki on the Eastside. If you prefer a balance teriyaki flavor (not super sweet) this is a great spot. Savory sauce with the right level of sweetness. Always snagging the Spicy chicken 4 stars and then an order of Asparagus veggie teriyaki.”
“The venue offers a spacious seating area and ample parking. The service is polite, though it lacks warmth and enthusiasm. Initially, I aimed to be understanding, acknowledging that not everyone has their best day or needs to be at their peak performance at all times. However, I believe a simple smile and greeting can significantly enhance the experience. I've decided to modify my review to more accurately reflect my feelings. We normally visit the Bellevue location, and this was my first time choosing this particular venue. Based on my experience, I will most likely be returning to Bellevue in the future.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to find and parking right in front of storefront.”
“Awesome staff. Mistakenly ordered a drink from a different store in the Starbucks app and when I arrived here and we figured out what had happened the kind barista made the drink for me anyway. Thank you!”
“Ate here today. Food was delicious. Reasonable prices. Helpful staff. Highly recommend. Only thing to watch out for is construction is currently going on so there are no sidewalks and parking is limited.”
“We absolutely love this neighborhood coffee bar. We go atleast once a week. The staff are super friendly and efficient. Bonnie and Kim always make us feel welcome. The drinks are made using top quality ingredients that taste amazing every time. The environment is cozy and welcoming. They also sell the most amazing pizza dough for making home made pizza! If you're a local or just visiting this is the coffee show to go to!”
“We wanted to get some lunch and bento box sounded like a great idea. After searching around Bellevue and Redmond area, we decided to try here. Honestly, we were debating between Joy box and here, and tempura on this menu convinced us. We ordered two bento boxes: 1) spicy teriyaki chicken and tempura combo A; 2) spicy beef teriyaki and tempura combo A (vegetable and shrimp tempuras). The chicken was great, but the beef was not spicy at all. We loved the tempuras, so light, crispy and tasty! Highly recommend it. We came around 12:30pm on a Saturday and the place was not busy at all, only a couple of tables were occupied. We will order take out from here again for sure. Love their tempuras. Maybe next time, we will try their rolls.”

“Great Korean BBQ. The meat quality is good and many side dishes that you can have. The service is pretty good and nice. My family really happy to have dinner in here.”
“We have been a big fan of Malay Satay Hut for over two decades . We used to frequent their restaurant in Seattle but now drive the extra miles to Redmond to enjoy their delicious food. Our kids love the food too and we are never disappointed in the service or the meals. We have even celebrated two milestone birthdays with them, where they provided catering and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food. Highly recommend!”
“Sasha was our server and we enjoyed every second of it! Everything from his jokes to his character made our dinner that much better. Our drinks were always full and the check ups were perfect. The amazing chicken parmesan was the cherry on the top to this excellent restaurant. We will definitely be coming back for the great food and service!”
“Gran Miscela Carmo Espresso Blend is the best blend for making espresso at home. I'm so happy I found this and will forever be a customer on a regular basis.”
“Really delicious food. The ingredients they use are well above the norm. The salmon burger had a large, thickish piece of salmon, a gorgeous bun that was tender but also held up well and the hand cut fries were some of the best we have ever had. Deeply golden brown, tender but not soggy and plenty of crispy bits. The large pretzel was good and the ahi salad was fresh and flavorful with a really nice combination of heat, spices and textures.”
“Good food, cool pub, but could use additional wait staff. Went with the family here on a Friday night at 5:30 and was able to get a booth right away. Note: Don't sit in the first booth as it's freezing in the winter with everyone coming and going. The waitress moved us to the back once another booth was open. Food was pretty quick about 15 min and tasted good. Kids had just plain burgers and fries. The fries were really delicious! The burgers were good, but would have been better if my kids ate toppings. My husband had the stilton burger which had English blue cheese, he said it was good, but not great. I guess he prefers American blue cheese. I had the sherry chicken which was great! Large portions and like true English food, lacked salt on the veggies. Once salt was added it was perfect. My 6 yr old even liked the sauce. By the time we were wrapping up, we noticed our waitress seemed a bit unhappy. Might be due to number of tables and people waiting, but it was noticeable. We had to ask for a water twice for my daughter which still took a good 8 min. The waitress also never stopped by to ask how we were doing. We had to flag her down again for the bill, which is normal for restaurants, but with a line of people waiting, you want tables to open up quickly. I'd say we'll be back, but might try during the week when it's not so busy and the waitress is friendlier. (Note: it was just one waitress that seemed a bit grumpy, everyone else was great).”

Jawhara Cafe
“Best Biryani you can eat! Authentic. Home style. Moderately spicy. Lamb, chicken, and sometimes goat. They always have amazing free Moroccan tea complimentary. Very friendly staff. Small area for seating. It's inside the Muslim community center in redmond ( maps). People are friendly and welcoming.”
“They have some authentic regional Chinese dishes and appetizers that you cannot find elsewhere (brain, liver, blood). The soup was extra spicy and oily (pro or con depending on you). Ordering is all done through iPad. No sauce bar. Recommend the dragonfruit paste fish cake. A bit pricey for the portion size”

“This is our favorite go to Indian cuisine restaurant and indeed probably one of our favs of any restaurant. We usually get chicken tikka masala, mutar paneer, garlic naan and samosas.”
“The best Italian food you will get in the PNW. I am 100% Italian and very picky with authentic Italian food and this place is THE BEST! I have eaten at many Italian Restaurants in Seattle and Tropea has them all beat. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend a visit!”
“Every Wednesday night, they have trivia. They also have open mic comedy nights and karaoke. Many, many screens to watch the games from. The atmosphere is definitely fun. Everyone is welcomed don't get me wrong, they have their locals / regulars, but those of us visiting for the first time immediately become part of the family. The bartenders are great. Shout out to my favorite bartender, Rachel!! They have a great variety of drinks and food options. You have to try their chicken Ceasar Wrap! There is plenty of seatting, a couple of pool tables, and of course the jukebox, fun fact they have an app you can use to control the jukebox and there is plenty of parking. Highly recommend you stop by for a drink or two.”

“Went on a Friday night and was too hungry to wait the 1.5 hrs to get a table, so came back earlier the next day and got a table after 45 min. Well worth the wait! Tables are all in a covered outdoor area, so bring a coat because it’s a bit chilly if you’re not directly under a heat lamp. The cocktail list is small (they have a micro bar) but all the drinks were well made. Negroni was perfect and not too bitter. Beet & Arugula salad was nice and fresh, loved the hazelnuts in it. They sold out of Detroit pizzas in their first hour so we got three of their regular pizzas that were all delicious. The crust is super fluffy and not soggy at all. I’m usually a marinara crust dipper but the homemade ranch stole the show. Definitely coming back armed with snacks and a warm coat for the long wait!”

“Breh, we hit the jack pot ?My gf and I often struggle to find any late night spots, and this is easily one we will return to. Vibes, food, and service were top notch.”
“Being a vegetarian, it is tough to find a ramyeon place catering vegetarian options. This place has very limited yet decent options and it is my go to place for some comfort food. My non-vegetarian friends enjoy the place too.Vegetarian options: They have 4-5 vegetarian options. For the main course, only one vegetarian option though. I love their potato croquettes and vegetarian gyoza.”

She was excited to see us when we came back in! She was super sweet and accommodating! If you come in make sure you get Anna as your waitress!”
“They’re doing their best - IMO papa Johns is a terrible company that does not care about their employees at all but that has nothing to do with this location ?”
“This was the first time eating there, wonderful experience. We had the caprese chicken and gnocchi. Both were excellent. We were there at lunch, great service and ambiance, not too noisy.”
“So I wanted to try a new place for wings and I figured I’ll give this place a try ! and let me tell you these bad boys came in smoking hot and so tasty on delivery ? ... Definitely recommend the wings :) and next time I should dine in ?”
“I had a fantastic time at the restaurant. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. In addition to our initial order, we decided to share a steak, and our server went above and beyond by kindly splitting the steak in half and serving it on two separate plates. It truly enhanced our dining experience.”
“My friend and I came in, not expecting much but we had such a great time!!! We found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Our server’s name was Jay and she was so nice and attentive. We asked her a bunch of questions about the tequila they offered and she was very knowledgeable. Love that she would come and drop off more napkins and extras without us having to ask. The other girls there were cute and friendly as well. Even though it was pretty busy when we went in, we were taken care of and I would definitely come back next time I’m in town. Thanks Jay!!”
“We ordered Andhra fry chicken curry and malabar parota. The taste in itself was really good although the curry was very oily.We mentioned this to the server and he was kind enough to get that as a feedback and communicate that with the chef.If you are health conscious, you can mention your preferences before ordering.Otherwise it’s a good restaurant with tasty food. Would recommend.”
“Great food! The extra hot sauce is excellent!Parking: Parking was easy in the middle of the afternoon. Might be a little more full during peak lunch and dinner times.”
“This is a go-to place for me !I always get a veggie bowl with a tortilla on the side !I cannot finish a bowl by myself in one go !So I make a burrito out of the half of rice bowl and eat the other half of the bowl later on after keeping in fridge !Love this place ?”
“Nothing out of the ordinary McDonald's. Food is on par with every other fast food joint. Is open decently late, midnight I believe. (Side rant, anyone else wish places were 24/hrs still? Not all but the typical ones. Eh?) Nothing bad but nothing to write home about. Seems clean enough, staff is pretty good. My only gripe i guess is if I ever make a late night stop they never have any desserts left, as if no one is going there late for pies. 4/5 would recommend for shameful late night binge.”
“Waitress was very helpful in describing things. The atmosphere inside is awesome and they have an open kitchen where you see them making the food which I think is a cool touch! The food was fantastic and reasonably priced for what you get! Definitely coming back for another date night!”

“I went here with my husband and we split both the gilled and fried chicken sandwich. The food was very flavorful, the grilled was less spicy than the fried. Both tasted good but my favorite was the fried one because the flavor was really intense and although spicy not overwhelming. Its like a black pepper kinda hot/spice level. The worker was very friendly and attentive, the place was very clean! Because of that we definitely recommend coming here! The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because I don't like having to use a QR Code to find out how much everything is. When you already have an open menu. Or that nothing came or could come together, and that it wasn't clear what to do with your trash. That aside it was prefect! It's a little hard to spot from the road and the sign is kinda hidden but if you happen to find it please try it! Well worth the price!”
“Cute place to get your healthy drinks and snacks! So many great options to choose from, whether you want a smoothie or an açaí bowl. I got the Coffee Kickstart for myself and a dragon fruit bowl and an açaí mango bowl for the kids. They were all amazingly delicious Customer service was great and the owner even took time to greet and chat with the customers. I'm hooked and definitely coming back!”
