“My friends and I went to Shinya Shokudo today and has the best time ever! Crystal our server was absolutely amazing and was very sweet! We had a million questions and every single time she was willing to answer. Our food was always very on time and even when splitting up the check she dealt with our request with no issue! 10/10 would recommend!“
“Great ambience and spacious restaurant. I had Paneer Biriyani and it tastes amazing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves authentic Biriyani..“
“I have been dining at Teapot for around 25 years, since their early Capitol Hill location. Over time and my evolving tastes and the changing vegan restaurant scene I have only grown more fond of this unique Jem. I was so bummed to hear they were supposed to close at the end of this year due to lease issues. But while visiting family I drove by and saw it open and sure enough their lease is extended for a year (at least). So go check out if you haven’t before, and pay another visit (or many) if you are already a fan. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-26“

“Finally! A place that seasons their food a little bit! I'm a Texan transplant here in Washington State. I've been all over, and this is the first place that has flavor to their food in this state. I wouldn't call it bold. It did make my son and I smile when we had the fish and chips Cajun style. Not even close to Cajun, but at least seasoned well enough to make me happy! 5 stars purely because this was not bland food and we ate outside by the pier. We will visit again!“

“Went for a seafood boil and it was beyond delicious. Timely serving, absolutely heaping boil, and the Cajun seasoning was to die for. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be making it a frequent dinner spot with my family!“

“My aunt loves Ivar's fish & chips, so she was very happy that there was one close to her assisted living apartment.
It was fun to listen to her tell stories of going to Ivar's pier 54 on the Seattle waterfront when she was young.
Food was good, think I will get her an Ivar's gift card for Christmas 🎄
Several tables needed to be cleaned, but restaurant was busy so that is to be expected.“

“Anthony’s HomePort @ Kirkland made my Birthday Special. First was greeted by a wonderful staff at the check in area. Then when seated at a wonderful window view was handed a cute Birthday card. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. But the cherry on top of the experience was the sunset view we had while dinning. Thank You Anthony’s for making my Birthday Special and unforgettable!“
“I have bought many different canned crabmeat products through out the years, but this was the second time I used this product. Not only is the taste sweater but when you sort through the meat, there is very little cartliage . Still have to sort but once is enough,“

“I love hot pot and I really love Haidilao! Very attentive service and many options for all your needs whether it’s soup base options, spiciness, veggies, proteins and more. I’m very satisfied and will definitely come back. I’ve never ate hotpot alone always with larger groups but I was in the area and have been craving so I decided to stop by, I will say you definitely get a better “bang for your buck” when you dine in groups! I spent about $110 by myself before too, I ate a solid amount over about 1.5 hours and took some home! You could definitely get that price down ordering one of their lunch combos for 1 person but I wanted two soup bases because I was splurging. Not to mention all there amenities!! A nice fabric apron, I was even offered a phone stand so I didn’t have to use my cup to prop it up, complimentary ice cream, and also disposable toothbrush/paste and mouthwash in the bathroom. Like seriously how sweet and can it get any better? Having said all that I knew what I was getting into price wise, don’t expect a necessarily cheap lunch but it’s worth it to treat yourself every now and then and I am another happy customer of many!
I did also pay about $9 for parking! Not sure if there’s free parking I missed“

“I've been a Seattle resident my entire life and I've probably been going to Ivar's restaurants almost as long. Let's put it this way, I'm old enough to remember Ivar Haglund's commercials and his guest appearances on the JP Patches show. 😆
I've been meaning to write a review of the Issaquah Ivar's because I'm a local and I've always had such good experiences there. Truthfully, I didn't even realize there was an Ivar's in Issaquah until just a few years ago.
As a former restaurant worker (Shari's) many years back, I'm pretty picky when it comes to restaurants. Here's what I like about this one:
About the restaurant:
-It's clean.
-Bathrooms are well maintained.
-Tables are cleared quickly.
-The drink and condiment section (sodas, ketchup, tartar sauce stuff, etc.) always seems to be well-stocked with everything.
-Floors are clean too.
-Have I mentioned it's clean? lol
-The food is always served hot and fresh. Fries are crispy, fish is crispy, chowder is *amazing*, salads are good. My kids don't like the coleslaw (I think it's good) but they love all the other stuff on the menu.
About the people who work there:
-Great, personable customer service.
-The people who work there are quick when you need something.
-I'm not sure who the red-headed manager lady is but she's really attentive, helpful, and funny. Ever since she started working there, that Ivar's location has really improved on all levels. The previous management was OK but this manager really seems to go above and beyond.
-Bob - Have you met Bob? He's an older gentleman who works there and he's seriously an Issaquah legend. My whole family loves Bob! He is the kindest man and we always look forward to seeing him there. I mean, this Ivar's is good but Bob really sells it. He's definitely one of a kind.
Overall, I feel comfortable eating at this restaurant because they seem to run a tight ship. As far as restaurants go, it's one of the cleanest I've been to anywhere.
And now I'm hungry and need some fish and chips. lol.
(Sorry I don't have better photos. I'm one of those people who pretty much only take pictures of food.)“

“A local Seattle friend took us to a seafood restaurant, and the grilled lobster was indeed a masterpiece, Q-bouncing as if it were fighting with my teeth ...... Steak grilled octopus fried squid clam chowder are all this 👍🏻 and the final dessert of caramelised bread pudding was amazing! The meal cost nearly $650 plus a $100 tip, so it was worth it, haha!😁😋😋I'll be back next time.“

“We had an amazing experience at this place. Our food came out very fast, which was a big plus, and everything was absolutely delicious. The rolls were incredibly fresh, the fish was tender, and the avocado was perfectly ripe. The flavors were well balanced, not too heavy on sauces, just really enjoyable. You can tell the chefs care about quality. We honestly loved every bite and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“The owners are amazing and so friendly. 😁 My dad and I always loved going here to enjoy the delicious food and great conversations with the owners for many years. Since my dad's death almost 3 years ago it has been bitter sweet visiting this restaurant again with so many great memories. One day I hope to return because I miss the great food and even better friendly conversations with the owners as we enjoyed our meal. My dad and I always ordered Sizzling Rice Soup to share, Almond or Lemon Chicken and Mongolian Beef or Triple Delight. Every time we came the owners knew what we wanted to eat. 😁“

“The hotpot I eat most often with friends is Lao Pier. The first time I ate flying pancakes was at Lao Pier. Now that I think about it, it still tastes delicious.“

“Tasty. I didn’t look Chinese enough to them therefore no Chinese menu was offered. No biggie but I saw what I wanted to try from other patron’s table. It’s likely called Hakka stir fry. The orange chicken was tasty however dark meat was used, therefore hubs wasn’t completely satisfied. Of course will come back again. Go before busy dinner crowd arrive, between 4-5pm.“

“This place is just the best. My family has been going here for decades. My father was actually their very first customer at grand opening. To this day we still celebrate yearly by having our family meet here for dinner. Absolutely wonderful staff, relaxing atmosphere, and the best Chinese cuisine you will have ever had (disclaimer i've never been to china 😅) you will not regret it. Love em, Ill be a customer for life, just like my dad was.“

“Saukraut fish may sound weird, but it is a stupendous invention and Nai Brother does it excellently. It has a wide variety of soup and fish options and all are really great. Mala spiciness with a combination of veggies, noodles, tofu, etc. Your tongue may be numb but you won’t regret it.
There are also good non-soup options and they also have whole fish dishes that we’re looking forward to trying. Love this place.“

“The food was excellent, and the waitress was very attentive. I had the wonton soup, crispy honey walnut chicken, garlic string beans, and the short ribs. Every dish was very good. If I had to choose a favorite it was probably the honey walnut chicken because it had a very satisfying crispy texture on the outside.“
“Note that this place is inside the Marriott hotel. We had the Valentine's Day special. 3 course meal with wine pairing is what was advertised. Once seated at our reserved table, the server asked if they could get us a drink. I had to remind them that we had the special. A sparkling rosé was brought to the table. No explanation or info provided about the wine. Salad followed promptly. The main course came out with its wine pairing. Again no description of the food or wine was given. We were not asked how we would like our steaks cooked, luckily the chef knew what they were doing. Food was prepared perfectly with great flavors. Dessert was next. When I asked for the wine that was to be served with dessert, I was told that the wine pairing was only for the main course. I inquired as to why we were given the rosé with our salad since I didn't order it. The server checked with the manager and confirmed that it was only for the main course and the rosé was just a Valentine's Day “treat”. The server ended up bringing 2 more glasses of rosé on the house. Food was good enough for the price to go back. Dress up or down -“

“A few of these reviews are very helpful! The one thing I was looking for that I didn't see was the trailer temp for loading. It looks like they want reefers set to -10. Doesn't seem like a big deal to have it pre-chilled as I'm sure it would have said so in my load information, but I would've liked to have mine already running at the correct temp before I arrived.“
