Restaurants in Tukwila

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!”

“Such a yummy place to have ramen. I’ve noticed lately that their broth is not as hot; luke warm at best and ruins the experience. Wings are very tasty.”

“My favorite sushi restaurant hands down. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Well worth the drive to get there.”

“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!”

“Delicious bánh mì and great drinks. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful.
Not much seating. Small tables outside. Small parking in the back. Absolutely worth the try”

“Happy hour selection and prices are good. Going back for a boil!”

“This may be my new favorite Italian restaurant! Came here on a whim and was so impressed. The food was perfect. We got the lasagna and the steak and I can’t decide which was better. Best lasagna I have ever tried, the steak was cooked to perfection. Our server April was so warm and kind! She made our experience that much better. We will be coming here every time I’m craving Italian. Highly recommend for anyone who wants the most authentic tasting Italian food ever!”

“I freakin love this place. Amazing staff, amazing food, amazing atmosphere!! Love love love this place!!”

“Shiva provided the best service I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Michael came in to relieve him and made sure we were fully satiated with our meals. Both Shiva and Michael gave us a great conversation and delicious food. Some of the best presented sushi as well. I’ll definitely be back. I would give this a 10⭐️if I could.”

“Omg the food is the 💣. Flavor blast 💥”

“Went for SRW! Service was impeccable. Meat quality was amazing and delicious. Ban chan was only alright though my favorite was their salad because the dressing was good!”

“Great spot! We always get quick service and leave happy. There is a lot of variety in the dishes offered, something to please everyone (including kids!). Chicken karaage is a favorite, and we love the drinks too. Will be back again and again!”

“Good place to eat, clean, and great looking menu”

“I love their bakery items and strawberry matcha drink. The prices are affordable. This place is a gem. Conveniently located at Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, WA.”

“Outstanding Waitress Fatima! Everyone was so nice snd helpful from the Hostess, Bartender for my Strawberry Lemon, and Food preparers who brought the meal! The food was amazing! The Maple Bacon Seafood Bites were excellent! I will be back when in Seattle. I tried the Cheese Cake too! Yum!”

“Reminded me of places to eat in Miami, FL. It’s good, authentic food with great customer service. A huge menu it was hard to decide what to eat! Just the kind of place to check out when you’re as a tourist.”

“Great food and atmosphere! Big shoutout to my server, Moani, very friendly, attentive, and made my visit even better. Excellent service, definitely deserves recognition. I will be back!”

“Nice atmosphere and good food!!”

“Everything tastes awesome and the people are nice.”

“Very delicious and generous food. The owners are wonderful. Service customs personnel are hospitable. Nice Indian quiet music backgrounds. The view is nice too and plenty of parking. China and silvers are interesting. Chicken Biryani is amazing. Buffet is tasty and rich. Size of the place is comforting. Prices are moderate. Refreshments, special Indian tea and coffee.”

“This is a lovely department-store dining experience. We held our book club meeting here. Staff was accommodating; attentive, but not intrusive. Noise level was perfect for an intimate discussion, despite the restaurant being active. Would recommend on all levels”

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken”

“This review is a LOOOONG time coming and I apologize for the delay. My 70th Bday celebration in Sept.2025 was FABULOUS /OUTSTANDING because of Yelina and Mr.G!!! OMG my friends are STILL talking about how WELL everything and everyone was!!! The FOOD, ATMOSPHERE, SERVICE and STAFF were ALL A+++!!
Once again my sincere apology for the delay in TELLING THE WORLD how GRRRREAT Yelina Jackson and Mr. G at Billy Baroo's are!!!!

Carleen Smith”

“Absolutely amazing food & mimosas! Definitely 5 star service!”

“Quick service. We had the basic pho. It was delicious. Their spring rolls were awesome.”

“Food is amazing.. Steak cooked and seasoned to perfection. Everything really was good honestly.”

“Too many kids and teens running around in and outside the restaurant. The parents should not allow for them to make noise and run around. This was the only annoying part of our dinning experience. We will be back for the buffet”

“My favorite drink place in all of Tukwila! Love coming here for their sugar cane drinks. So refreshing :)”

“My office ordered here for a big to-go order on a cozy, rainy day, and they were so accommodating! An order for 7 people was ready in 20 minutes and packaged securely. We ordered Pho Tai and Pho Nam, grilled pork Bahn mi, a bunch of egg rolls, and the sweet and sour pho, which was amazing if you like to explore flavors, dont shy away from it! All of our food was great, there were no complaints from anyone. 10/10 for these guys, a true hidden gem in Tukwila, WA! Fair warning: their chili oil is no joke. I would buy jars of this stuff. Edit: this place is under new management so this review is no longer accurate”

“We catered food from Yamada Teriyaki and were blown away. The samosas were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the House Special Fried Rice was a total hit, generously loaded with tender meat, shrimp, and vegetables, all seasoned to perfection.

Everything arrived fresh, hot, and beautifully packed. The portions were generous, and the quality was outstanding. The service was smooth, friendly, and reliable. For the price and portion sizes, the catering option is absolutely worth it.

One thing I also really like is that Mandalay Deli Mart is right next door, so it is super convenient to grab drinks, snacks, Burmese goodies, or quick deli items all in one stop.

Highly recommend Yamada Teriyaki for catering, authentic flavors, great presentation, and excellent value. We will definitely be back for more.”

“Amazing local scene venue!”

“man this food was off the chart I am very excited to have tried African cuisine being an African-American”

“I requested a special dish that was not on the menu and she hooked me up💪🏾. I even left my wallet and she stayed late for me to come back and get it. I love this place”

“Delicious today was my first day visiting. We had everything on the menu but the fish entrées. Fresh amazing atmosphere sweet teenage boy who took our order and the owner his mom was outstanding. This is a place you have to come and eat!”

“Ordered food to go but the staff was very kind and clear, I had the sweet and sour chicken and the portions are very generous. The chicken was great and saucy! Would eat from here again.”

“Great experience a friendly and attentive service. Is a fun experience I recommend it 💯”

“Tried this place for the first time and the food was great. Our server Jack was amazing. He gave menu recommendations and joked with us all evening. Great experience and will definitely be back.”

“I did not know about this spot. The cabbage was tender and flavorful. The fried chicken was bomb. I actually ate the skin. I NEVER EAT THE SKIN. Perfect not greasy. You receive a free drink and small bag of chips with your order. I didn't try the desserts. Next time.”

“This is our 2nd time coming here. My husband ordered steak tacos and I ordered a chicken chimichanga. We both had black beans instead of refried beans. We will be back.”

“I’ve been here a few times and the food has always been great. This time, however, the service was slow. I asked the waitress for an extra plate so I could share the papaya salad with my mom and her friend, but it took a long time for the plates to arrive. We eventually decided not to wait and ate the papaya salad with the rest of our food, which ended up being messy because of the fish sauce.

Aside from that, the food was still very good. For those who don’t like raw vegetables, I wouldn’t recommend the papaya salad, as it can be hard on the stomach—especially if you’ve recently had gallbladder surgery. I mention this because I didn’t realize my mom’s friend couldn’t eat raw food, so sticking to soup is a better option. Their soup is very good, and we really enjoyed it.”

“Really cool place friendly nice people great food”

“Best habit burger chain in town. People who works here make the experience much better. Especially Paulina who works very hard and making sure customers is happy and got everything they need. Oliver who is very polite and make sure to clean up after the customer leave and Patty for being great at training the staffs to increase the customers experience. Everyone there should receive a raise because of them, the customers is happy and will be more likely to come back. Thank you!”

“Excellent Food…a nice cultural experience.!!”

“Very delicious and really good price. Had a cold one while we waited!”

“Best customer service and delicious food.”

“I few Fridays ago I came in. I was looking for my friends. Inaya approached me. She had helped me one time before. Two months back. She still remembered me, and my friends. Before I could give her my order. She told me where my friends were seated, and stated that they ordered a Dirty Blonde for me. She then informed me that she was going to bring me a Knotty Brunette. Because she remembered what I ordered the last time I had her as a server. Turns out my friends didn't remember what I drink. Inaya did from two months back. That's professionalism. Inaya isn't just a pretty face. She is on top of her game. Great job for hiring Inaya.”

“My first time, cannot wait to go back 🤞🏽❤️‼️”

“So far everything ive tried on this menu is really good, not too sweet either. love coming here during my breaks at work but i always catch them when its super busy and its a really long line😭 their service is super quick tho and its worth the wait each time and its cheaper than alot of boba places”

“we were just here tonight. drinks and food were just what we needed. I got chicken mole and husband got chicken chimmichonga. so delicious!”

“I like their fried chicken burrito. Clean & courteous staff.”

“The food was rich and tasty, definitely could have used more meat in the burrito. I got my drink 1/4 sweet which was perfect for me.
Have high chairs for little ones. Do have to bus your own table.”

“The best restaurant in Seattle under new management. Food and service are great. We will visit again. Highly recommended.”

“You should definitely go and try this place, their ice creams and dragon’s breath are amazing, and for Oreo lovers like me, you should definitely try the Oreo rolled ice cream in here :)”

“The Filipino deserts app has mold. Brought these to a party and thank God it was discovered by my guests at the party. Called to get a refund and below me off as a joke. Mind you my wife and I live one hour away and demanded that we bring back the product that was purchased back to them to inspect. I have been purchasing deserts from them for over 35 years and spend a lot of money. So sad and no accountability and glad no one got sick. I will be letting the San Bernardino health dept know of this crooked establishment not following State and court health codes.”

“Delicious carne asada tacos, family friendly environment (during the day), & really great service by nice people. I will be back. You should give it a try.”

“Lovely food specially Ribs & Steaks 🥩... delicious dessert 'Thunder From Downunder'”

“I took a chance and ordered 10 bean and cheese pupusas to go. This was my first time trying this restaurant. I have been going to another Salvadorian restaurant in the past. I always use my own salsa so I chose not to get their salsa or their veggies. When I got home I was very happy with my order.”

“I recently visited Big Orange in Southcenter, excited to try one of their signature boba teas. I went with the piña colada flavor, and while it was good, it leaned heavily into a coconut profile. If you’re a coconut lover, you might really enjoy it, but it wasn’t quite what I expected.

The atmosphere was nice, and they have a big, eye-catching orange sign that makes them easy to spot. The staff were friendly and efficient, which was a plus.

One thing to note is that the price was about $11, which felt a bit steep for a single drink. Next time, I might try a different option from their menu before deciding!”

“We used El Koreano for our 20th high school reunion. During the whole process we had excellent communication, the price was just right, and our guests enjoyed exceptional food. Everyone was raving about how delicious the food was. We would highly recommend El Koreano for future events!”

“Such a cute place! Smells really nice walking in, place is clean, the staff is awesome, and the food is great 💕 Perfect place to hang out with your friends or just to grab a snack and go ✨”

“Incredible drinks, incredible people, and well priced. Every location feels like home!!!”

“Killer el pastor one of best Ive ever had! My son doesn't like spicy. I thought he would stop eating it cuz it was a little spicy. He said it was spicy but just tooo good.....the boys making it had good energy!”

“Alma was our greeter and waitress from entry. The store was clean, inviting, and bright! The food was wonderful and made to order. Everything about this visit was above expectation and this is definitely a place to come for your IHOP needs.”

“Delicious caramel macchiato and equally delicious young lady making it, a bit crass, I know, but I envy anyone with the body and the demeanor to make money in this way. I'm honestly amazed that they haven't set up a male version of this.”

“Your food have the best idea for me in the summer time when I drop by . But my name is always nickname Lao ocean. And always have that mango drink and taste feel fresh all the time. But also once that coffe arrive it taste blended and always firm the taste in the mouth and happy thoughts. Always but can’t Lao Ocean.”

“Food good service ok. music sucks. The loud obnoxious music swearing and carrying on about sex didn't seem to bother the two other customers in there. Not sure you would want to bring small kids inside. Food was actually good. The service was not the friendliest but ok for a Saturday night last night.”

“I come here maybe four or five times a year. Some places, even the best places, they'll let you down every once in a while. Sahara Cafe has never done that. If I have one gripe, it's the parking, but the location doesn't lend itself to resolving that and, besides, that's got nothing to do with the proprietors or the food and service they provide. If you've never had Somali food and you're interested, but not sure where to start, give this place a try. A good try. Go out of your way to come here. It's that good.”

“Absolutely love MOD Pizza in Tukwila—Hands down one of the best locations I’ve ever been to. This place checks every box. Not only is the food consistently amazing, but it’s also one of the healthiest fast-casual options around. I genuinely wish more restaurants held themselves to the same quality and standards that MOD does.
Their salads are top-tier, fresh, loaded, and flavorful and the best part? They don’t nickel-and-dime you for every ingredient. You can add what you want without extra charges, which is exactly how it should be. That alone sets MOD apart and is a huge reason why it’s always been one of my favorite places to eat.

On top of the great food, I really respect that MOD Pizza supports second-chance employment and gives opportunities to people with backgrounds. That says a lot about their values and makes supporting them feel even better.
Amazing food, good service, strong values which you truly can’t go wrong here.
MOD Pizza will forever have my loyalty. 🍕🔥

“Absolutely delicious food that made me feel amazing after eating. The green sauce was very spicy and blended well with my dish. aaand they gave me a banana... what an interesringly odd yet nice touch.

The price / portions were also spot on in my opinion. I ordered the chicken Kati. Thank goodness they actually had the bitter bread. The portions are on the larger side. I had enough for a second meal later in the day. Yes, it was so good I couldn't wait to eat the rest. Usually I save left overs for the next day.

Since I got this food to go, I'll keep my review rating to just rate the food. The parking is pretty bad with only about 8 parking spots, but at least they have do have dedicated parking. I showed up at 9 am and the parking lot only had one space left just for me. There was already several people inside eating. Even more came and went while I waited.

The interior needs a full make over in my opnion, but it's all fairly functional. Also their drinking water situation was confusing as they didn't even off me water with my meal. Maybe that was my fault. I originally asked for my food to go but mentioned that I was so hungry I was gonna eat some as soon as they handed it to me. So they decided to give it to me on a dine in plate.

Don't come for a fancy date night or even to impress anyone. Unless you explain the interior design situation ahead of time.... it's like eating at an old uncle or grandparents house.

Their service is fairly average, but the employees are a super chill vibe. A lot of customers had very lengthy conversations with the teller regardless if they were ordering, just hanging out, or already done eating.

Honestly I've been thinking about going back all week. Next time I'm in the area, stopping in for a plate will be a must.

Parking: Parking it front. Limited amount of space, but I got a spot just fine

Wheelchair accessibility: It's only one story, but they have stairs to get in”

“Great pizza! In fact, possibly one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. The other day I ordered a Caesar salad and I'm pretty sure the dressing I got was balsamic and there was way too much of it, so not impressed with that. Atmosphere is very basic. Some wobbly tables and a few TV's.”

“Came here for Dole Whip because I was missing da 'aina and it did not disappoint! Got an ahi poke bowl and it was loaded with fresh fish and delicious. Will definitely be coming back! 🤙”

“Great customer service +(8)(O)(5)(4)(1)(0)(5)(0)(4)(0) NO NONSENSE and GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!”

“We had dinner at the Tukwila location tonight and Andres was very pleasant and helpful. We made some specific requests and he accommodated our needs. Food is always good at Famous Daves and I appreciate that at a BBQ place they offer an option of salmon. It is prepared on a Cedar Plank and is excellent. My husband says the St. Louis Ribs are the best ribs ever.”

“Khameuay was our server tonight and let me tell you, she did the most amazing job. We had a very large party with splits checks and some special needs and Khameuay was so organized and professional and attentive to our needs! Hands down the best service we’ve ever received and we a very large family that meets several times a year! The food was amazing as well!! Thank you for making our family gathering a truly special one!”

“Very delicious and generous food. The owners are wonderful. Service customs personnel are hospitable. Nice Indian quiet music backgrounds. The view is nice too and plenty of parking. China and silvers are interesting. Chicken Biryani is amazing. Buffet is tasty and rich. Size of the place is comforting. Prices are moderate. Refreshments, special Indian tea and coffee.”

“Food is amazing.. Steak cooked and seasoned to perfection. Everything really was good honestly.”

“The food is so good and the customer service is amazing. 10/10”

“I ordered a chicken dinner, gumbo, and red velvet cake. This was the most delicious food I’ve had in a long time. Chicken was crispy, flavorful, and juicy. The macaroni was out of this world. And the red velvet cake ( which is not usually my favorite) was perfection! I think I just died and went to heaven….”

“I freakin love this place. Amazing staff, amazing food, amazing atmosphere!! Love love love this place!!”

“Excellent Food…a nice cultural experience.!!”

“Thanks everyone first visit look forward to coming back”

“This place was great. Good fried chicken. Here on a quick business dinner suggested by my colleague I was traveling with. If you like fried chicken and you see one of these. Try it.
Advice. Dip your fried chicken in the gravy they offer. You won’t regret it.”

“Best customer service and delicious food.”

“I got the 4 meat right before selection, which I recommend. Somebody, knows what they are doing..I would give this place an A+, but I'm giving it an A. I give it an A because, I did not order avBobo drink. Or, one of those drinks I kept staring at posted on the door. As I ordered take out..The service and atmosphere was good 👍...No complaint..very attentive, inviting, judgement free...I stepped into the door, after 3 other people and they treated me, like everybody else..so kind. Thank you.”

“It's a red robin by a busy road in a strip mall, so like, temper your expectations, this isn't haute cuisine, but, for what it is? the staff is doing their best to make it perfect.

We had a gigantic group who wanted to sit outside and order a huge feast and once our massive order was in the works? it was swiftly delivered.”

“Alma was our greeter and waitress from entry. The store was clean, inviting, and bright! The food was wonderful and made to order. Everything about this visit was above expectation and this is definitely a place to come for your IHOP needs.”

“My first time, cannot wait to go back 🤞🏽❤️‼️”

“The Applebee’s in Tukwila was good. First the value was amazing, I ordered the really big meal with a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a soda all for $10. That price for the quality is amazing. The burger was a proper size and it was cooked well.”

“koffie is niet te drinken voor Europaanen”

“Quick service. We had the basic pho. It was delicious. Their spring rolls were awesome.”

“Fun atmosphere with awesome variety drinks . What’s a spot to hangout with my besties”

“They put the fast in fast food. I had my order in under 5 mins. Best Burger ive gotten from McDonald's, way better than the sequim or port angeles McDonald's Donald's im used too.”

“Really cool place friendly nice people great food”

“Best habit burger chain in town. People who works here make the experience much better. Especially Paulina who works very hard and making sure customers is happy and got everything they need. Oliver who is very polite and make sure to clean up after the customer leave and Patty for being great at training the staffs to increase the customers experience. Everyone there should receive a raise because of them, the customers is happy and will be more likely to come back. Thank you!”

“Food is amazing.. Steak cooked and seasoned to perfection. Everything really was good honestly.”

“Can be a line to get in. Recommend to go on off time, either early dinner or an early lunch to avoid waiting. Price is by the pound, so be mindful of that. Other than that, it was really tasty soup and love the dipping options too.”

“We got invited for a tea tasting and Dylan was an amazing tea guide! Throughly explained the history and flavors of our Lishan Oolong Tea and made it a wonderful experience. 10/10 I also recommend the Green Tea with Cream :)”

“I tried their veg udon which was good. Their sauce was not at all spicy as they mentioned. Although I wanted spicy, but that’s fine. Also Had their potato fry which was sweet so not my taste.”

“New menu items! The pan fried pork bao is hot hot hot!!. And delicious.

Always a good experience at Dough Zone. Of course go on a weekday, less busy.”

“Flavor is not bad, I received a traditional croissant but it felt very dry. I might give this place another chance in the future. The prices are a little more than you would think”
