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!”

“Amazing food! The quantity was great for two people. The servers were enthusiastic to help and they frequently changed the grill. The sides especially the pickled radish and khimchi were too good”

“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.”

“Good place to stop by for a quick banh mi and vietnamese iced coffee. I tried their iced egg coffee and a traditional banh mi. The egg coffee was good, and the banh mi was decent. The banh mi had some larger pieces of cold cut meat.”

“Service was awesome… food was great . Definitely will recommend.. highly recommend the Pier 88 combo”

“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!”

“I wish that I could give more stars. I came in tonight from a recommendation to try this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Every interaction that we had from the moment that we walked in was positive, thoughtful and delicious. William was our server and he took wonderful care of us. He was very attentive and knowledgeable.

We got to meet Maria and she was very kind to us as well. Even people who were not our servers took great care of us. Family ran without question. Bonus that the environment is cozy and the people care they. What more can you ask for?

Would definitely recommend and we will definitely return. Thank you for reading.”

“This is the best pho place I've been to in King county , the broth is always super flavorful - you don't need to add any condiments, but I do load up on the delish chili oil! David has retired, but I still find the food / quality the same. I do feel skimped on the trip/tendon sometimes but that's my only complaint. I truly love this place!”

“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!”

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

“Visiting from Texas. Lived here 30 years ago and have been looking for “the little teriyaki place we used to eat at” on every visit. While driving down the road we saw this sign and were hoping it was the same place. And it was. The owner welcomed us and the food was amazing. Made fresh, homemade dressing for the “salad” and homemade teriyaki. DELISH. even came back while we were heading to the airport!!

Recommend!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Amazing food and quick service! I loved that we could order everything from our phones and the food came quickly. The creamy udon was like a creamy garlic sauce and the wagyu sukiyaki was a meal on a stick. 10/10!

Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options but it it mainly meat

Parking: It's in a shopping pavillion so plenty of parking”

“Overall good experience, good food and service (even though it was our waiters first day, he did a great job). A bit bland on the peach salmon entree, but salads and ambiance were great. Would return again-”

“Everything tastes awesome and the people are nice.”

“I got a piece of plastic in my food but after this little piece of plastic was found which mind you was the first time that this happened in 6 years of coming here and they replaced my food so quickly would definitely recommend 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 NVM the didn’t me bag or chocolate 🥲🥲🥲”

“Nice atmosphere and good food!!”

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken”

“Nice spread for our department retreat. From the fresh fruit and green salad to the grilled vegetables to the beef short ribs and grilled chicken with rice. All flavorful andcfresh.”

“We loved this place. Had some friends from Alaska who were flying out at midnight. We drove over from Port Orchard to take them to dinner. Indian food was requested so I found this place online. Very friendly people, the woman has a sense of humor to match my husband’s ! 😂 The service was prompt. The food was delicious. We will go back whenever we can.”

“Went in at 2:50 pm on a Sunday evening. I do not regret coming in . At first i was a bit unsure of what to order considering how small the menu was so i decided to ask the server for her opinion. She ended up recommending a meatball pasta which i loved so much. If i could go back tn i would. The only concerning thing is the size of the plate. It is a very small portion and didn’t even get me full. Luckily i ate my girlfriends food otherwise i would’ve had to order a second plate. Besides the serving portion every thing else including service was great. Would recommend for those who are curious and want to try it out.”

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

“My husband and I came by for brunch before heading to IKEA and I’m so glad we did. This is a lovely diner and the employees really care about providing you a fresh, delicious meal. Don’t come here if you are in a big hurry but if you have the time, do it. It was all good but the biscuits and gravy is the best! Next time we are in the area, we will prioritize coming back!”

“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!”

“Just picked up lunch. #1 Teriyaki Chicken had a bit of good char. Properly cooked white rice. Sweet, semi-thick teriyaki sauce but not gloppy. Service was friendly and fast.”

“A popular and busy restaurant/tiki bar. My last supper before flying back. My hosts were kind and attentive to spend our last moments in delicious quality time. But I wasn't hungry! So I had the fried bananas with mango ice cream. What a treat for three! A massive crunchy sweet soft battered bananas and mounds of ice cream. My hosts enjoyed as well. Love this place!”

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

“Stopped by for lunch on a coworkers recommendation and was not disappointed. Great red curry, excellent service from Jose and a nice and bright space to enjoy a meal.”

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

“Amazing local scene venue!”

“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.”

“Best customer service and delicious food.”

“I've been to this location about 3 times since it's opened. My favorite is the grilled chicken club sandwich. Mmm... I'm going to have to pick up one again when I visit in a couple of weeks.”

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

“Great authentic ramen. If you're looking for what you would find in Japan, quality ingredients, super tender chasu, and perfectly cooked aldente noodles, this is your spot. Pro tip: get the curly(aka thick) noodles. They have a better chew imho.”

“Wonderful staff, food, plus no wait time, great location and quick service. Celebrated my birthday here, def will be back. The pickled cucumber, hot and sour noodles, pancakes and milk tea are my favorites. The pork dumplings are excellent too”

“The food was great. Hubby said best wings he’s ever had. Cheese bites are bomb.
The restaurant wasn’t very busy but we waited for a very long time to actually be served after being seated. Then once food was finally ordered our waitress never came back until the very end of our dinner to ask if we wanted refills & take our trays. My fried pickles were super flimsy not crunch at all which was a bummer since they’re my favorite. After waiting a long time to pay out, At that point we were done so we just passed on refills and headed out.”

“Amazing smoothies, with a great selection of add ons. I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried a shot and it jump started my day! Will be back a lot!”

“Awesome food and great margaritas”

“I always try many traditional foods when I am traveling. This time, I have been very disappointed after visiting several spots, not until I came here on my last day. I ordered spaghetti with goat meat. They charged me just $20, and when I got to my hotel, I found food that can feed a group of 4 people. Very generous and great test. I won't be trying any other spot moving forward. Only recommendation, Consider moving to a bigger spot to ease congestion.”

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

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

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

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

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

“I went a second time, and unlike my first visit, the experience was much better. The service improved, and the fresh meat on Thursdays was a highlight. Based on this visit, I’m increasing my rating and would now recommend giving it a try!”

“This is the highest volume store in the area but they run very efficiently. Newly remodeled with a cool screen to see order status. Could use a bit more indoor seating but it’s a good place to get in and out quickly.”

“Recently getting Jamba Juice on my breaks and I always place a mobile order before hand so I can pick it up and head back to work. Service has been pretty good. Make sure to be nice to service workers, they are located in a pretty busy walking area in the mall, I’m sure it can get stressful when it’s busy inside.”

“Really cool place friendly nice people great food”

“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”

“Awesome owner, really friendly. Brought friends from Cali and Wisconsin over to check it out. Chronchy liquid nitrogen cereal bites, awesome for a warm day or to spice up boring afternoon.”

“Great food!! 😊 we don’t have these on the East Coast 🙀”

“truly enjoy the vibe and the staff is super efficient with requests.”

“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.”

“Great bargains on fresh and "day old" bakery items. Items vary through out the day and week. Suggest bringing your own bags, if you are stocking up.

Wheelchair accessibility: Steep ramp, suggest bringing help.”

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

“We’ve tried tortas, sopes, tacos, burritos, and Birria de res all of the things are great!
I suggest the tacos and sopes to start but its all delicious and authentic!”

“Phenomenal customer service and experience, i wanted to switch a drink because i didn’t like the flavor and they also offered me a free drinks, very great customer service training and policy, drinks also taste really good and flavorful, 10/10 recommendation”

“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.”

“amazing food. definitely will recommend to the next person.”

“We saw the food truck at lunchtime so decided to stop and try something new. We got the fried chicken torta, a side of fries and elote (corn). Our total for all was $28. It was served in about 6 minutes, and it was delicious! We really enjoyed the food. We would return again in the future.”

“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”

“This place is DELICIOUS!!!! 🤤
I traveled all the way from the Washington fair grounds an hour away to try this food and it was SO WORTH IT!!!
I Tried the chicken/lamb rice special and the katata plate which is only comparable to drunken noodles but way more flavorful!!!
The sauces are worth trying each one! They're a little spicy at first but add so much depth to the flavors! The lentil soup was hot and fresh and exactly what I needed on a cold day! They have a nice sized dining area with a couple of large flat screens. The Gentleman there was very inviting and nice! I will definitely come back every time I'm in Tukwila! The fried fish is the next dish I'm getting i saw someone eating it and the plate is HUGE!!! Portions are huge quality is 10/10!!! I brought these two plates home to my kids who LOVED THEM!!! Thank you so very much for serving high quality food and treating me so well on my random visit! 💖”

“The lobster sandwich was delicious. But the service kind of sucked � they rude.”

“The staff is always so friendly and helpful, the cafe is beautiful and clean, and the food and coffees are delicious and aesthetically pleasing!! I love how many options they have ? one thing my friends and I wish they had was a spam option, we were missing it!”

“We LOVE this place! The pizza is amazing and the staff is wonderful. We just had my son’s entire soccer team and families here to celebrate his birthday and it was perfection. Highly recommend.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!”

“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've eaten here several times now and always get the meat combo with several dim sum choices too. I've been happy with the food here and would get it again if in the area. This is a to go only restaurant.”

“The banh mi is super delicious! Stopped here while traveling to the area and it’s much better quality, taste, and prices than back home. The bread is baked fresh and you can definitely tell. This is set up in a food court/food hall format and there are a few tables nearby.”

“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!”

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

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

“Thanks everyone first visit look forward to coming back”

“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.”

“In terms of taste, best fried chicken out there. Gravy is killer if you are into gravy at all. Very versatile gravy.

Price has been steadily increasing in the recent years. I remember that before the pandemic, the price cost value of this place is insanely high.”

“Great food selection! The variety is always good, but it would be nice to be able to order a la carte in case you don't want to eat the "all you can eat" amount. Good service, but the combo of soft-spoken servers and loud-ish music made it difficult to hear what they were saying. It would also be nice if they had a menu to scan at the table rather than just up front. I almost feel like the tables could be bigger - once you get all your stuff to cook and your drinks and the burner is going, there's hardly any room to eat or cook without knocking something over or dragging your arm through something.”

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

“The staff is always so friendly and helpful, the cafe is beautiful and clean, and the food and coffees are delicious and aesthetically pleasing!! I love how many options they have ? one thing my friends and I wish they had was a spam option, we were missing it!”

“Best customer service and delicious food.”

“Great customer service 👏, different varieties of food and also serve alcohol🍸. The only thing i disagree is that mandatory gratitude that is 15% if you are in a party of 5 or more. I feel they need to let you know before they charged you, there were no signs and it is not written on the receipt. Other then that, a good place to come with the family or alone.”

“Stopped by for lunch on a coworkers recommendation and was not disappointed. Great red curry, excellent service from Jose and a nice and bright space to enjoy a meal.”

“Good place to stop by for a quick banh mi and vietnamese iced coffee. I tried their iced egg coffee and a traditional banh mi. The egg coffee was good, and the banh mi was decent. The banh mi had some larger pieces of cold cut meat.”

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

“I like it better than Chinatown!

A dim sum restaurant that opened recently even though Din Tai Fung is located in the same mall. I was curious and went to see it, and it was really nice🥟

It's quieter, cleaner, and has better service than the famous restaurants in Chinatown, so you can have a relaxing meal.

All the meals were delicious. Especially the shumai, shanghai xiaolongbao, and shrimp dim sum.

Kid-friendliness: Strollers are left at the store entrance. High chair available.”

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

“Our server was amazing I did not catch his name wish I would of should be praised. We were there around 1 to 2 pm Saturday sat in the bar. Give this guys 10 stars !”
