Comfort Food Restaurants near Renton, WA

“Great food and customer service“

“Love the food but y’all forgot my rolls in my Door Dash order 😭“

“Ezell's chicken strips are my absolute favorite. Been here countless times. Staff is always cool. The strips take longer to cook than I prefer, but they are worth the wait. Their fried chicken is great too. I just prefer the regular strips. I could eat them every day. All the food is very good though. The fries and/or fried okra are my favorite sides. Just some good food!“

“The cheese is amazing!!! It's a must each time I go to Seattle.“

“My fiancé and I really liked it here; it’s the perfect place for car enthusiasts. The food was good, our waiter was really friendly, and the tour around the interior of the building was interesting. The tours are $15 PP but since they were having an event and the middle of the showroom didn’t have any cars, they gave us a tour around the place for free which we greatly appreciated. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable on the cars. 10/10 would come back~ 🫶🏼“

“We came for the pool tournament and stayed for the steak! Absolutely incredible food! Highly recommended! Hospitality and service were top notch. From the time I gave them my card I was addressed by my first name and treated like a friend. Couldn’t ask for a better night! 5 star!!“

“This location is truly exceptional! The staff is outstanding, with Daniel standing out in particular. He went above and beyond to ensure my group had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend both the ambiance and the service, especially Daniel and his remarkable hospitality!“

“A fun, cozy spot with old brick walls and wood floor, and high ceilings. Great cocktails and bites. Service is friendly and welcoming. I love the whiskey cocktails (Manhattan, old fashion). The tots are indulgent. Had a burger with tots, and classic buffalo chicken wings to start. Great location to pre-function before a concert at the Showbox. Noise level is very high because of all the hard surfaces.“

“They make some of the best pizza in Seattle, and honestly some of the best pizza I've had anywhere! Delicious sauce, great crust, toppings are excellent - best lunch is a couple of slices + a cookie and a Mannies :D“

“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!!“

“I went there randomly. Knocked at the door and Auntie came by, and told me everything's gonna take some time. I opted for just the Cheesecake as the neighborhood looked a little sketchy to be waiting around cluelessly. Mama was so sweet and endearing she gave me sambusas too. And the raspberry white chocolate Cheesecake was MIND BLOWING.“

“Yeobo was a great spot to chill with a cocktail on a Friday evening. The space is large, with plenty of seating and couches for groups. Vibes were relaxed and while I didn't adore my negroni, the menu had other options I'd try next time.“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“We had an amazing dinner! Every dish was delicious - highly recommend!“

“Food was great. I’m not a big fan of eating chicken due to how it smells typically but the way they seasoned/charred their chicken in the cajun pasta was great. Their strawberry Tres Leches cake is addicting. Make sure you get the Mandazi (fresh made) with the Somali tea, good combo.“

“Historical saloon with tasty food and drinks. Also, great atmosphere for amazing live music. Highly recommended!“

“Came to Cheeky Cafe for Saturday brunch with my partner and were seated immediately - always a good start.

The space has high ceilings and a casual, slightly unpolished feel that actually works really well with the food. There's a big chalkboard menu at the counter, but they'll also hand you a paper menu, which I appreciated.

Between the two of us, we tried a lot: the loco moco meatloaf, carbonara, a slice of French toast, and the cinnamon fry bread. The carbonara was solid and comforting - a classic execution, nothing fancy. The loco moco meatloaf was fine on its own, but the curry-forward, Asian-influenced sauce is what made it shine.

The absolute standout, though, was the cinnamon fry bread. If you grew up on Asian fry bread, this will take you straight back. It genuinely made me happy, and I'd come back just for that alone.

Our waitress was sweet, attentive, and friendly throughout.

A great brunch spot with soul - and that fry bread is reason enough to return.“

“Went to this bar in Belltown-Seattle, twice with some good friends from Boston MA, we absolutely loved it, top notch service, bartenders-feels like you're chatting with a friend, they serve good food-vegan burger is second to none, Love the chef, great guy, we will be back 🙏🏾“

“A delightful and soothing place right at the intersection of the harbor steps and the Seattle waterfront, a lovely symbol of the ongoing revitalization of the waterfront region in downtown Seattle. There is a lot of great Chinese food in Seattle, but relatively little of it is directly downtown, so it was quite lovely to see this place that offers very savory and sumptuous fare for a very reasonable price by Seattle standards. I have a very close Chinese friend and if she ever comes to visit me, I will make sure to take her to this place. After entering the sophisticated yet not pretentious restaurant, I sat down and ordered a milk tea and some steamed pork dumplings, both of which were delightful. The milk tea was large and sweet, the perfect contrast to the dumplings. I am not sure I would call this place exceptional by the standards of Chinese restaurants, as it doesn't really have a special flair to it, but it is solid and reliable and located in a promising place here in downtown Seattle. There is very little to complain about, aside maybe from how I felt like the staff were rushing me a little while I was eating. These are minor nitpicks, and I would absolutely go here again if I am in the area and feel a desire for some delicious dumplings. The harbor steps region feels so elegant and picturesque, a true testament to Seattle's effort to revitalize public space, and this is one of many very delicious restaurants that have taken advantage of that newly revitalized space.“

“Always a wonderful time here. Really good karaoke night on thursdays, and you can join even if you suck thru work, they don’t judge. Daily specials Monday thru Sunday and every dish is made with love. A gem of the neighborhood and a blessing to be invited to“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“Nice small space with great Korean hybrid food. 5 stars here for the salad medley and fermented pickles.“

“Trying to eat lunch outside this Wells Fargo building is Seattle which houses several businesses but several employees smoking next to the facility that makes for a poor eating experience.

Also, could use more outside seating (some with umbrellas).“

“I had not given a 5 stars for a long time but this place deserves it. 煲仔飯 was cooked at the right timing so the rice was crispy but not burned. 腸粉was tender and pairing with 皮蛋 gave an interesting twist. And then, the 芋泥was the best…“

“This place was so cute, coffee was amazing, and service was even better. I didn’t have the best customer service experience during my time in Seattle. However, Mikayla was the ray of sunshine I needed on that rainy day! 10/10 recommend for brunch and catching up with friends.“

“Delicioso , exelente atención.“

“Ordered food for pick up on 1/15/26 and had to call back to adjust the time. The friendliest and courteous man who answered the phone assured me all was well. The chicken was hot, juicy and tender, rolls were delicious and sides of Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes tasted like Moms. We will be back soon. We want to support a locally owned company.“

“Food is good. Limited drink selection. Sodas are in cans. Many things to choose from. We did have one person that had an alergic reaction to something... we do not know which dish. The lights in the bathroom shut off on you, and waving your hands from a stall will not turn them on.“

“Very beautiful and fun experience with a vast selection and large portions.“

“A Seattle institution ❤️🍗 made famous worldwide by Oprah.“

“First time visiting, yeah the music is a little loud but it’s a bar what do you expect. I’m a sweet drink kinda girl and loved the captains tea! Didn’t get any food so can’t review that but the cook was really nice and the food I saw coming out looked yummy so I look forward to trying it when I go again! Great views can’t ask for much more.“

“I made it home to Tulsa, Oklahoma just to tell my friends and family about my experience. The food in general was amazing seasoned and cooked well. Spicy okra, and Cole slaw was tasty they even offer $1 sweet potato pie . I can not wait to come back and visit see you summer of 2026“

“The cheese sandwich was so gooey and tasty!“

“It's Ezell's! It's a Seattle classic. My kid has grown up on their chicken tenders (1 pound - half/half, always) - they are a warm, familiar, delicous treat! Avoid DoorDash if you can - 1 pound of tenders on DoorDash (with 10% tip) was $46.04 - when I decided to pick up at the store on Rainier, it was $24.24. Save yourself some $ if you can, and support Ezell's directly!“

“Love this place. Good Japanese curry and quick service.“

“Very good food , hoping that the waiting time at dinner is less because when we try to eat last night the waiting time is 2hrs ,so we left and come back next day at after lunch like 1pm and the waiting is better and took us less than 30mins.“

“I love boiling point. But after the last couple visits I’ve noticed that the portion sizes have significantly decreased. ALSO how could you take away the ”I ❤️ BP” fish cake and replace it with tiny pink fish cake pieces. I always have the best service and time with ALVIN and neck tattoo guy. Give them a raise.“
