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!“

“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!!“

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

“Greeter was rude. Like it was a trouble for him to get up from folding napkins to seat me at a table instead of going to the bar like he suggested. Actual server was nice. Food was good but overpriced($32 for a chicken burger and fries, no drink) and the 20% automatic tipping is a huge turnoff. This tipping culture is too much, tipping should be optional. Atmosphere of cars is cool.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Sometimes a place hits just right. If you’re lucky you can get a table by the window for that epic 1st and Pike people watching. Get some braised brisket and appreciate. I liked the space with the exposed wood ceiling and old school windows. Service was timely and friendly. I look forward to coming back to try the baked fontina cheese dip appetizer or the fried bread pudding.“

“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“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“This is my safe haven as a creative with celiac. The food is incredible and full of unique flavors, a rarity when it comes to gluten free. The general atmosphere is always so friendly and cosy, I love stopping by for a quick bite or hanging out getting some work done while snacking on a spam musubi. Thank you Yeobo <3“

“All I can say is WOW! This is truly a hidden gem in Seattle. The best sambusas, hands down. Mama Marian - you are a ray of light & you can taste the love in your cooking! I will visit every time I come back to Seattle. 1000000/10 recommend!“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“Live right around the corner and it’s very hard to not stop by every day. I’ve Never had a bad experience and I Could recommend almost anything on the menu. You should Definitely stop by and get a hot chai and some chili cheese hashbrowns or loco moco“

“I absolutely loved this little gem in Kent! The restaurant has a warm, cozy, and welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The owner is an incredibly kind and gracious woman, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I ordered the Ethiopian platter, and it was outstanding. The flavors were authentic, everything was perfectly prepared, and the presentation was spot on. You can tell the food is made with care. I love exploring ethnic restaurants, and this one is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Thank you for such a wonderful meal and your warm hospitality. I highly recommend giving this place a try!“

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

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

“Dough Zone did not disappoint! I’m not sure how authentic it is, but it was a great family friendly spot, and I’d rate it 8/10. Everything we ordered was delicious, and every dish was full of flavor. The pork xiao long bao was so good that we had to order another round! 😋 Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving great dumplings and comforting Chinese food.“

“Found by accident with my wife. We decided to stop and immediately felt comfortable and welcome. It really reminds me of dive bars back in the Midwest/south with great music, cheap drinks (for Seattle) and fantastic food. We plan on coming back every time we’re in Seattle“

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

“This is a hole-in-the-wall type of place in Chinatown, which, in my experience, is usually the best. Gan Beo didn't disappoint. The place is just big enough for a bar and a few tables, with the kitchen in the back. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy. The bartender/hostess was very friendly and helpful. We just ordered a couple of simple dishes to go - ong choy (a.k.a. morning glory) in garlic sauce (ong choy is pretty hard to find) and fried tofu. The food was great. I'm sure they would have been even better if we ate there. Will definitely be back.“

“Bah had a fantastic demeanor when we walked in during lunch rush, I am so glad they were working the first time I ate here. The meat lover bento and extra Poke (had to try a little of every fish) were a fantastic lunch treat! Great prices for the amount of meat you get. I think I have found my new lunch spot“

“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…“

“Came here off our cruise ship before we fly home and found this little gem. What a wonderful experience greeted by a charming woman who we later found out owned the restaurant. She was/is amazing we thoroughly enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and most importantly the hospitality.“

“We left another location and came here! We know Kent Dough Zone is best service, best location, BEST FOOD!

They took us last minute with only 25 min till close.
The servers were very polite and accommodating (even though it was basically closing time)
I came in with 3 teenagers

We had two spicy mala noodles, two dan dan noodles, two orders sweet and spicy garlic chili pan fried chicken wontons, and hot & sour chicken wontons, oh and a green onion pancake.

Everything was so good as always and they even gave complimentary pork and crab soup dumplings.which reminds me
We also ordered the chicken xio long bao (chicken soup dumps)

Such a great place
All that under $80

Best place ever
Thank you so much

Didn’t get photos cause we ate as soon as they brought it out lol“

“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.“

“Delicioso , exelente atención.“

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

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

“10 STARS

This is my favorite bar in Capitol Hill. I come here quite frequently with friends but still spend my days daydreaming about my next visit. Playlist NEVER disappoints. It’s a new vibe everyday and I’m always dying to get the link. MAJOR Kudos. My phones wallpaper? Captain Blacks nachos. Playing cards on the deck with a beer and fist full of nachos is my happy place. Love love love love love Captain Blacks.“

“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!“

“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.“
