COMO is a spacious Italian restaurant with a Mediterranean ambiance, offering Lombardian-inspired pizzas and pastas along with a selection of wines. Situated in Carillon Point, it provides stunning views of Lake Washington through its floor-to-ceiling windows, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing evening or a romantic date night. The menu features signature dishes such as crispy artichokes, handmade pasta, and shareable pizzas. Guests have praised the food, service, and waterfront atmosphere as exceptional.
I loved the stunning views of Lake Washington from this spot. The food was delicious—I ordered the salmon, grilled octopus, and a refreshing spritz drink, all of which were perfectly prepared. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff enhancing the dining experience. Another bonus is that they validate parking, making it even more convenient to enjoy the meal without worrying about extra costs. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great food, service, and a beautiful setting. I highly recommend it for a memorable dining outing.

Well, the restaurant is highly recommended by a good friend. I’m not sure if they don’t have much choice, but it seems like they have really good restaurants in Bellevue so I was kind of surprised when they highly recommended it. I mean, I was surprised after dinner. Dinner was just OK, a little better than average. Not great. We had many of the starters, including the Dungeness crab salad. (it first came without the crab and we had to send it back.), Christine’s with cheese, focaccia (not warm or fresh tasting), baked spinach(very good) , chickpea salad (very good), carpaccio (OK but wouldn’t order again) We went on two pasta dishes, the boor (which was recommended, but too heavy for my taste), and the tagliarini with spot prawns (good taste, but way too few prawns) We finished with dessert of the crostata de pere (delicious pear, delicacy with a hard crust), and the ricotta pistachio cake. (which was also really amazing.) Also had halibut en papillote, and pea soup appetizer (soup was excellent, fish was overcooked) So on the Whole, service was a bit slow, but good, appetizers and entrées were overrated, and dessert was underrated. I can see why people like it, the setting is just gorgeous, overlooking a marina on a lake. Windows are open and you get the fresh breeze the whole time you’re there. Fantastic location! Good luck with the food

Food was incredible! We had the burrata appetizer, the truffle butter pasta and a sausage risotto. So good! The views were beautiful, breeze inside was nice. The service was slow, relaxed atmosphere, but also not super fast to offer drink refills or to check on table (just 2 of us), though very friendly. Parking is validated for 2 hours and we had to pay a little extra because we were over the time, felt like a longer dinner than we anticipated. Total bill with 1 appetizer, 2 pastas, bread and a soda (no other drinks) was about $120 with tip.

A nice, beautiful, comfortable, cozy restaurant with a simple menu. It's a bit noisy, but for such a level of establishment it's normal and even has some charm of its own.We had a reservation for 8:00, we sat down somewhere around 8:15-820, ordered food, they brought it to us somewhere around 8:45, that is, you don’t have to wait very long, the waiters are all quite courteous and polite. I was with my wife celebrating a birthday, we ordered fried vegetables and steak and also prosek and tiramisu and all this cost us 200 dollars including tips, which I think is pretty good. As for the food, the food was really tasty, I haven't eaten such tasty vegetables for a long time, the steak was a very good piece, it's worth it.I think that in summer the weather is good considering that they have a veranda, this is a super nice option for a dinner.

COMO is another example of how Seattle’s dining scene is lacking as it offers an average experience therefore it’s always extremely packed. The food is a bit of a hit or miss, it lacks consistency. I had incredible things that were honestly to die for (like the Short Ribs, just amazing) and others that I didn’t even want to finish (the butter truffle ravioli was just not tasty and the ricotta and pistachio cake were too sweet without the proper texture. As a lot of people point out, service can be slow and food can take a while, our waiter was super friendly though. The atmosphere is incredible, the light, furniture, the view, that is worth it. We spent $130 with 1 glass of wine, 1 drink, 1 starter, 2 mains and 1 dessert. Would I go again? Maybe. Not the best Italian, not the worst. It’s just Seattle being Seattle.
Henrique G — Google review
This is a nice beautiful place to spend time. But the food is not that perfect. Especially for Italian menu. Atmosphere is great and also the view with the vibe. The food can be better. The truffle pizza was delicious but fried squash blossoms were so oily and tasteless. Little disappointed. And the service little slow. We had 3 times missed and brought incorrect food and drink. Overall it’s ok place but I think it’s little overrated.
Anastasiia S — Google review
came here for lunch and it was pretty filling. Such an exquisite view of the lake too! 🏞⚓️. The food was better than I expected and I was already half full after the appetizer haha. The only con is that it can get crowded and loud and the tables and balcony are not on a first come first serve basis.

I was a guest of the hotel and ventured to Como for dinner on a rainy Sunday. I asked to be seated at the bar. The bar has 12 seats. The bar was not packed. 2 other patrons who were together. After being ignored for 5 min by the bartender. He finally ambled over to take a drink order. I ordered a Hugo Spritz. i watched him make the drink. It was a watered down disaster with brown mint and no flavor. i asked for recommendations on the menu which he couldn't really articulate what was good. i ordered the gem salad and bucatini amatriciana. The salad is huge with tasteless dressing, dates, prosciutto and gorgonzola. 3 small pieces of prosciutto, old dates and no gorgonzola. The bucatini arrived. The pasta was overcooked with a tomato paste sauce. No guacinale or calabrian chilis as mentioned. I requested the wine list 3 times to order a glass of red to go with the pasta. The bartender Antonio was too busy bragging about managing Barolo a restsuarant in Seattle. I have dined at Barolo and it is a great restaurant but he obviously was let go for poor service and why he is the bartender at “the spaghetti factory of the Eastside.” Como do better. Hire better.

Cactus Kirkland is a vibrant Southwestern-Mexican restaurant located in downtown Kirkland. After a recent remodeling, the cheerful and colorful outpost now features hand-painted walls and pleasant lighting. The menu offers a variety of tapas, bocaditos, and antojitos meant for sharing with friends. The restaurant also boasts an extensive list of tequila drinks and superb house cocktails.
We had a fantastic dinner at Cactus in Kirkland last night. Three of us shared the carne asada plate and the shrimp & grits. The carne asada was so flavorful and tender, cooked to perfection, medium/medium rare. The shrimp and grits had bold flavors of the south and the roasted corn on both dishes were out of this world! Cocktails were refreshing and delicious! As first-timers dining there, we were surprised at the end of our meal with a complementary flan that was a perfect caramel top and silky custard. Our server, Marissa, was very personable and energetic. She gave well balanced recommendations of the food, and made sure to ask if we liked spice, or wanted something on the side. We had a great experience overall!

A vibrant and friendly host is the best part of the visit. This young gal is the best addition at this location compared to the past personnel I interacted with before. Our Waitress just want to get her job done and move on. Ok. So be it… Overall, the food is tasty but always on the high sodium side. We requested for no salt chips. The answer is NO. This location is one block from Lake WA with outdoor seating. It’s sure a popular place. Street or paid parking lot
N W — Google review
Came for an early dinner on a Sunday. The host was super friendly and let us pick whichever outdoor seat we wanted since there were options. Our waitress came not long after and she asked if we want chips, salsa, and guacamole for the table (only later to find out on the bill that it costs $11.) We ordered house fajita with skirt steak and chimayo enchilada. Both dishes were mediocre for us, we had better elsewhere and at home tbh. The location of the restaurant is convenient and nicely tucked away where you can see cars driving by and people walking past. The atmosphere inside also seems nice, restroom was clean so that's a plus. All in all, good experience thanks to the friendliness of the host and the waitress but we will try elsewhere for Mexican food. The sign did say along the lines of "We are not authentic, but we are Cactus."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment I walked into Cactus in Kirkland, I felt welcome. The host greeted me warmly right away and set the tone for a great experience. I chose to sit outdoors, which was beautiful — the perfect spot to enjoy the lively atmosphere and great music. My server, Sara, was wonderful. I ordered both of her recommendations — the squash blossoms and the Sonoran Spa Chicken — and they were absolutely delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I could tell the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The service, the atmosphere, and the food were all top-notch. Highly recommend Cactus in Kirkland — I can’t wait to come back!

If you're looking for great Mexican food that has an original twist, combined with phenomenal handmade corn tortillas...Cactus is for you. This specific location is enchanting and lively for get-togethers for food and drink.

Excellent location with great service and a lovely ambiance. While the food was good, it felt a bit bland compared to their SLU location. We enjoyed the guacamole with chips and salsa, but the highlight of the meal was definitely the flan which was rich, smooth, and perfectly executed.

David P — Google review
Flavors that impress, drinks that refresh, and vibes that make you stay longer than you planned—Cactus is a standout in every sense. Food: Cactus brings bold Latin flavors with thoughtful plating and generous portions, making it a must-visit spot for both locals and visitors. • The Jackfruit Tinga Tacos were an absolute delight. As a first-time jackfruit experience, it hit all the right notes—smoky, savory, tender, and perfectly balanced with rice, beans, and house toppings. A 5/5 dish that even meat lovers would enjoy. • The Chimichanga, while crispy and golden on the outside, leaned heavily on cheese for the vegetarian version. While satisfying with sour cream, guacamole, and hot sauce, on its own, it felt a bit one-note. Still enjoyable, but best as a base for customization (3/5). • The Nachos were vibrant and texturally on point—perfect crunch, generous toppings, creamy guac, and a drizzle of crema that brought it all together. It was a wholesome, shareable favorite (5/5). • The Hibiscus Mango Sour (non-alcoholic) was a showstopper in a glass—vibrant, perfectly balanced between tangy and sweet, with a refreshing fizz. Easily one of the best mocktails around. • The Three Milk Cuban Flan was a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth finale to the meal. Subtly sweet with a hint of caramel and a creamy, custard-like texture, it didn’t feel overly rich—just enough to round out the flavors of the evening beautifully. ⸻ Service: The service was warm, upbeat, and attentive throughout the evening. Staff offered helpful suggestions, checked in regularly, and ensured a great pace of service. The only downside—they don’t accept reservations, so be prepared for a bit of a wait during busy hours, especially weekends. ⸻ Ambience: Cactus gets full marks for its charming, moody, and inviting interiors. The décor is rich with wood textures, patterned tiles, soft lighting, and a mix of cozy booths and street-facing seating. It’s both lively and intimate, making it perfect for dates, group dinners, or even solo wind-downs. The presentation of each dish and drink only added to the vibe—colorful, clean, and Insta-worthy. ⸻ Pricing: While the pricing leans toward the higher end, the portion sizes are generous and the ingredients feel fresh and premium. For the quality, ambience, and service, it’s a well-justified splurge for a great night out. ⸻ Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Cactus in Kirkland checks all the boxes—from flavorful dishes and eye-catching cocktails to atmosphere that invites you to linger. A few small tweaks for vegetarian options would perfect the experience, but it still earns a full 5-star rating for its consistency, creativity, and charm.

DERU Market is a sleek and modern cafe in Kirkland, known for its artisanal deli offerings made from locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant's menu features a variety of options including signature sandwiches, salads, appetizers like bacon-wrapped dates and wild shrimp cocktails, as well as smoked brisket sliders. Additionally, DERU Market satisfies sweet cravings with generous servings of cakes and other treats that pair perfectly with their creamy coffee.
This is a busy place, but definitely worth the wait. Staff is friendly and patient. They took time to explain ways to order and pay, and took great care of us Food came with great presentation, and tasted delicious. Seasoning is light but just right to bring out the natural taste of the ingredients Parking can be tricky during the week. Their parking lot is very small, so street parking is the only alternative
Opinion T — Google review
Deru Market is a gem! We came for Sunday brunch and left really impressed. Food: Beet Lemon Muddle (3/5): Refreshing, tart, with a hint of sweetness, sort of like lemonade with a beet twist. Not my favorite, but interesting. Blueberry Brioche (4/5): Light, fluffy, and fresh. Just sweet enough without being heavy. Toast with Butter & Jam (5/5): Thick-cut bread, generously buttered, with plenty of flavorful jam. Comfort food perfection. Farm Scramble (5/5): Outstanding. The eggs were cooked beautifully, the veggies fresh, and the broccoli was crispy and perfectly seasoned. Easily the star of the meal. Service: Friendly and efficient, though nothing over-the-top. Ambiance: Both indoor and outdoor seating are inviting. Great for families or a casual date. Even on a busy Sunday brunch, it felt lively but never overcrowded. Overall, an excellent spot worth visiting. Delicious food, generous portions, and a relaxed atmosphere.
David K — Google review
Finally made it to DERU and it did not disappoint. The place has a fun atmosphere with a cozy patio that’s perfect for hanging out. Our servers were genuinely warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The yam fries and garlic knots were instant favorites, and the pizzas tasted fresh with great ingredients. The mushroom pizza leaned a bit heavy on garlic, I personally would’ve loved a little more goat cheese to balance it out. And the cake… wow. The slice was huge and absolutely decadent. We had such a great time and are already looking forward to coming back to explore more from the menu.

💰 Price: A little pricey for casual dining, but worth it for the quality and size. 👥 Crowd: Always busy, especially at dinner, so expect a bit of a wait. 🌳 Atmosphere: Cozy, rustic-modern vibe, though it can feel crowded when full. 🚗 Transportation: Small parking lot that fills quickly, but you can usually find street parking nearby. 🤝 Service: Friendly, quick, and the food always comes out fresh.
Alex K — Google review
The brioche came out cold and hard as a rock — it must’ve been overbaked and left sitting out too long. The Benedict was cold too, and oddly, only one half had greens while the other had none. I’m not sure if that’s intentional or if the chef just forgot. The only thing that tasted decent was the potatoes. After waiting in line for so long, it was really disappointing to end up with food like this.
Laura C — Google review
Used to be a good deal but not anymore since portion got a lot smaller. First pic is Sept 2025. Second pic is from Feb 2025. The other side salad served at the same time for other tables also seems to be more than mine so maybe it’s discrimination or bad luck. Spoke to the manager and was just told all the salad weight the same and they changed the mix. Nothing was done about it and my salad is definitely smaller than what others had gotten in the restaurant.
Mingming G — Google review
Honestly disappointed. Noodles had an odd aftertaste. Hard to get servers attention for missed items we ordered. The drink, salad, and lemon curd cheesecake was delicious. I’d go again to see if it was an off day, but didn’t find this visit to match its reviews.

1. They have costumers parking lots available for free 2. Vegan options available 3. Many pizzas 🍕 options available 4. All food are large size or even huge , one item can be shared with two people The beef sandwich was very tasty and huge size, some foods which I was very want to try but only available in the morning section. The coffee is huge size too, it’s a bowl 🥣🤣🤣 The sweet potato was soso ,it's kinds of over cook outside,but did notcook enough inside,also the sauce not taste good。

Indian restaurant
Kathakali is a cozy Indian eatery in Seattle that offers both classic and contemporary South Indian dishes. The restaurant aims to provide an immersive dining experience, showcasing the diverse flavors of India through themed events and specialty foods. Known for its Kerala-style cuisine, Kathakali uses fresh spices and coconut in their seafood and vegetarian dishes. The menu features a variety of unique options such as steamed tapioca, spiced lentil soup, coco paneer, and garlic naan.
What an Indian rustic eatery place it is! Welcoming surroundings by touch of Kerala! I’m visiting to this place since 4 years and they never disappoint us, if only thing which matters is that place is very cozy and small for big party tables but however if you get good spicy tempting food along with friendly service then of course big yes for Kathakali! Honestly I never tried South Indian food before and it was my big misunderstanding that South Indian cuisine concept which means only about spices but when I tried Kathakali they proved me wrong! Their menu which is absolutely out of my words and pronunciation too but I know what I have to eat and their front staff understand very well. We tried chicken biriyani, dry prawns, chicken wings & tilapia fish in appetizers and dosa also kind of Daal vada. Goat curry, cashew based chicken tikka masala curry is so so good perfectly cooked with fresh blended spices and bite of laccha(malabar) paratha with those curries what a combination!!! Must try last but not least jackfruit flavored ice cream aaahhmmm so tasty! Also something it comes cooked in banana leaf it is sweet and hot; perfect for cold weather whoever likes warmed-hot desserts! Deep fried sweet banana coated with flavorful batter which I found so unique dessert and too tasty! Had pistachio lassi which is sweeten and thick but specially I don’t take drinks before meal otherwise I can’t enjoy my rustic meal! By the way be ready if you’re really foodie because sometimes this place packed and you have to be waited for outside in waitlist and that’s too in cold winter but yes wait is worth it! They have plenty of free parking and if you’re too full-off with food after your good meal must take steps towards Juanita Beach which is just on 3-5 minutes away from Kathakali!

I wanted to reach out and share my appreciation for the wonderful experience I had at Kathakali. As someone from South India, I’m often on the lookout for authentic flavors that bring back memories of home, and your food truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm, inviting atmosphere and the genuine hospitality of your staff. The menu offered such a fantastic range of classic South Indian dishes, and each dish I tried was simply outstanding. The spices, flavors, and presentation captured the essence of home in every bite. Big thanks to Bhaswati, our server. She made our dining experience a 10/10!

Favorite place to eat uniquely different Indian cuisine…. They have a mean Kerala Meen Curry…. That’s fish curry (tilapia) for the uninitiated. You can try extra and ask for extra spicy sauce base. Lovely and cozy ambiance. Lots of parking but it’s often full on peak hours

I stopped by for lunch and ordered dosa, appam, and mutton, and I was thoroughly impressed with the food. Each dish was flavorful and delicious, with authentic spices and fresh ingredients that made the meal memorable. The dosa was perfectly crispy, the appam soft and light, and the mutton tender and well-seasoned. The flavors really stood out, making this a great spot for anyone craving quality Indian food. I enjoyed the meal so much that I’m already looking forward to coming back. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Free parking on the side. Feel like we were in a rust. They had us wait for 30 minutes for the table, when our table ready they asked us to order before being seated. Which is fine as they said food will come out faster. We ordered our food, then got seated, waited for another 40 minutes for our food to come out. They were missing our order when I asked they argued, and then brought our order out without apologizing for it. Seating was really tight. There are barely rooms to move around without touching others customers. In the end they did say sorry for the mistake. However I personally wouldn’t come back.

Nestled along the stunning shores of Lake Washington, El Encanto is a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine paired with breathtaking views. This charming eatery draws inspiration from beloved traditional recipes that have been cherished through generations. Guests can indulge in mouthwatering dishes like their famous guacamole and refreshing margaritas while lounging on plush couches that overlook the serene lake and majestic Olympic Mountains. The ambiance is perfect for relaxation, making it an ideal spot to unwind with friends or celebrate special occasions.
We came here for my birthday dinner with some girlfriends and our experience was so fun! Hailey, our server, was so intentional, kind and she went above and beyond. She brought out our tacos on the board even though we ordered tacos individually. She brought out dessert too for my birthday and the restaurant manager was so accommodating. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for amazing food, delicious drinks and a very beautiful setting. The decor and everything inside is amazing.

Location is great—especially for brunch on a warm summer day! We sat indoors but still got to enjoy a steady, fresh breeze. We tried the watercress salad, which was just okay. The banana pancakes were delicious, and the tinga de pollo tacos were great too. I got the bottomless mimosa and was told that I had to pick just one flavor and stick with it. I also asked if they could make it with fresh orange juice (which was on the menu), but was told they only use packaged juices —kind of a bummer. On the plus side, the red sangria was really nice.

I went to this restaurant with some friends and we had a great time. It was a Friday night, even though I could make a reservation that same day which is a plus! We got there and the restaurant was very busy so there was some waiting time but they brought us some dessert to compensate for the time. The food is always delicious but be prepared because the portions are not big, comparing to some other Mexican restaurants these portions are smaller and don’t come with the usual sides. The views from the restaurant were amazing, definitely we’re be coming back!

The food was good, upscale Mexican cooked and seasoned well. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. At our table of 6 a water glass was never empty and it wasn’t hard to flag a staff member down if we wanted something, though our server was very attentive and prompt. Lovely location as well with close and easy parking or valet.

Made a reservation 2 days before, and got seated right away. Staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered the carne asada, short rib tacos, and corn guac appetizer. All very good, cocktails were delicious as well! We wanted to order the pork dish (that’s listed at the bottom of the menu) but when we asked and they said it’s no longer an option…why not just take it off the menu? Weird this rating is so low, we had a great time, food was delicious, and beautiful views and parking validated!! We will be back!

We had dinner at El Encanto for our anniversary, and my husband had made reservations weeks in advance. That worked out nicely, as we were seated quickly despite how busy it was for a Thursday evening. The atmosphere was lovely, with live music adding a nice touch, and all of the staff we interacted with were welcoming. Our particular server was cordial, but not especially warm or inviting. Considering the advance reservation and the occasion, we were hoping for a little extra acknowledgment or a special touch to make the evening feel more personalized, but that didn’t happen. It ended up feeling more like a regular dinner out rather than an anniversary celebration. As for the food, the drinks and cocktails were enjoyable, and the Chicharrón Gorditas appetizer was our favorite. The Carne Asada entrée was delicious, but the rice and beans were just okay. The Chile Relleno leaned a bit too Americanized in its sauce for our taste, though we did really enjoy the churro ice cream sandwich for dessert. Overall, the view was spectacular and the experience itself was pleasant. Still, while we appreciated the setting, the food and service didn’t quite stand out enough for us to plan a return visit.

Before visiting El Encanto, I did what any good food lover does. I read the reviews. And I came across a comment that boldly claimed this place was “bland” and “lacked flavor.” Let me be crystal clear: that person could not have been more wrong. In fact, I’m 100% serious when I say El Encanto might’ve just delivered one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in a long time. Let’s start with the star of the evening: the Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos. These were next level. Perfectly grilled fish that tasted like it had been caught that morning. Succulent, juicy, and full of natural flavor. The chipotle crème? Absolutely to die for. Smoky, creamy, and it tied everything together with just the right amount of kick. Add in some fresh, vibrant pico de gallo, and you’ve got a taco that hits every note from citrus to spice. To wash it down, I ordered not one but two of the El Encanto Margaritas—and I’d order them again in a heartbeat. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too tart—just that smooth, citrusy blend that puts you in the right mood to kick back and enjoy the atmosphere. Now, let’s talk about the grand finale. My incredible server, Hayley, recommended the Churro Ice Cream Cake. Folks, I’m not exaggerating when I say this was the most amazing dessert I’ve ever tasted in my life. Picture this: churros shaped into a swirl patty, sandwiching salted caramel ice cream, with goat cheese drizzle dancing around the plate. Sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy—it was a flavor and texture symphony that stopped me mid-bite more than once. The setting only adds to the magic. With stunning views and a tranquil vibe, El Encanto is the kind of place you can roll into solo after a long workday (like I did), or gather with friends and family and leave full and happy. Final verdict? El Encanto isn’t just good—it’s phenomenal. Bold flavors, great drinks, stunning views, and top-tier service (shoutout again to Hayley!). If you’re anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor: go.

BeachHouse bar + grill is a casual waterfront dining spot offering a variety of burgers, sandwiches, and local seafood, as well as weekend brunch. Located in Kirkland with stunning views of Lake Washington, it's known for its SoCal beach vibe and relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is popular for its twisted mac n cheese and offers a lovely view overlooking the water.
We went to Beach House Bar and Grill as a group of 15 for a small get-together, and it was such a lovely experience. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, making sure we were comfortable throughout. Since it was a special occasion, they even surprised us with a complimentary bottle of champagne to share.. such a thoughtful touch. The food was spot on and loved by everyone. Portions were generous, and everything was served fresh and flavorful. Being right on the waterfront made it even more memorable, we enjoyed stepping out to take some beautiful pictures by the water. Highly recommend for both the food and the vibe!

My daughter and I went to breakfast here and wanted to return for lunch and wow! The Beach House Grill did not disappoint. We had baby back ribs that were fall-off-the-bone good. We tried a few different things since it was our first time for lunch. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and nice atmosphere. We can’t wait to get back and try to poke bowl and salads!

As the name suggests, located right on the lake shore, Beach House bar and Grill offers a truly breathtaking view, especially during sunset. The panoramic views of the water, with the golden hues of the fading sun reflecting off the surface, make this spot ideal for a relaxed evening out. The open-air seating, gentle breeze, and soothing sounds of the waves create an unbeatable ambience—perfect for romantic dates or casual gatherings with friends. While the food is nothing extraordinary (think standard bar fare—burgers, fried apps, and grilled seafood that lack standout flavor), the cocktails are Well-crafted and reasonably priced, they pair perfectly with the serene surroundings.

Unfortunately we checked out the menu on their website before coming and decided on items they didn’t have on the menu in the restaurant. You think you’re safe when you go directly to the site vs. Google/ Yelp pics haha not in this case. This is the only reason for 4 stars. Hope this inspires the owners to keep up with these things that may “not matter” I know this makes it harder for the servers. Food was good! We only got a few apps because the items we went out of our way for were no longer available. Service was great! We went right they opened and everyone was very sweet and attentive. Atmosphere was great as well! I love this type of decor and felt super comfy. It was very cold for us (from Hawaii :p) and where we sat they had a door open to the lake. The bathrooms are up a set of stairs and I’m not 100% sure if there is an accessible friendly option but! Check them out, so cute!

Food : the food was great! I went with my grandma and we ordered almost every item from their happy hour menu and shared it. The food came out really fast. It was hot and fresh. Everything tasted great. Service : the server was ok. Fast which is great but not interaction unless you flagged him down. Atmosphere: the water view is great. Do make sure to book a reservation in advance. It fills up fast. Also, parking is very limited.

Ristorante Paradiso is a cozy Italian restaurant located on Kirkland's famous Park Lane. The rustic decor and extensive wine list create a lovely atmosphere for enjoying Northern Italian classics. While the restaurant may seem unassuming compared to its chic neighbors, it offers an upscale dining experience with a family-oriented vibe. The menu is inspired by Sardinian recipes, featuring authentic Italian favorites cooked to perfection and bursting with robust flavors.
Absolutely loved my first visit to Ristorante Paradiso! Cozy ambiance, attentive service, and beautifully plated dishes made the evening feel special. 🦐 Risotto di Mare One of the best seafood risottos I’ve had! Every bite was packed with flavor — tender shrimp, fresh mussels, clams, and calamari in a rich tomato broth. The rice was perfectly cooked and soaked up all the goodness. 🥟 Tortellini Panna e Prosciutto(火腿奶油肉馅饺)Comfort food at its finest. The tortellini were plump and tender, coated in a rich, creamy sauce with bits of ham. It’s indulgent without being too heavy — a classic done right. 🍝 Lasagna al Forno(焗烤千层面)It’s hearty, savory, and everything you want in a classic lasagna. If you’re looking for authentic Italian flavors in a warm, welcoming setting, this place is a gem. Highly recommended! 🌟🍝❤️

Traditional Italian restaurant with seemingly authentic Italian food selections although admittedly I'm not an expert on it. I had lasagna which I thought was good but the proportion of meat to cheese seemed off with way too much cheese relative to the meat. But perhaps people like that. Seemed a bit pricey for what it was. But nice fine dining experience. Just not really the value option for us personally given what we got for the price. Service was good. And enjoyed the atmosphere.

This restaurant is in a great location right in beautiful downtown Kirkland. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the option of patio seating, and the staff was attentive throughout our visit. The menu offered a wide variety of selections, and the portion sizes were just right. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. I had the chicken limone with roasted potatoes and vegetables, which was flavorful and delicious. My dining companions each had salads—one a Caesar, the other a beet—and both were equally enjoyed. We all loved our meals, the atmosphere, and the overall experience. Prices were reasonable, and the quality was excellent. If I lived here, I would definitely be a regular. Highly recommended!

Centrally located in downtown Kirkland, Ristorante Paradiso offers very good food at reasonable prices. I ordered the lasagna, which was delicious and topped with a lot of cheese. My two friends wanted the Cioppino del Capitano and the Linguine Tutto Mare, respectively. These items are only the dinner menu. However, our waiter was kind enough to offer it for lunch, and they were both excellently prepared by the kitchen. My next visit will be for dinner and I'll order a bottle of wine!

Overall a great meal on a beautiful day.

I like many things on the restaurant menu here. If you love a creamy smooth tomato soup they have a great one. I also think their salmon piccata is some of the best most flavorful I’ve had. This place, of course is better in Resturant than having it delivered, but still great to order if you don’t wanna cook.

Nestled just a stone's throw from Juanita Beach Park, Oto Sushi is a charming little gem that offers an impressive array of sushi rolls alongside hibachi-grilled dishes and flavorful Japanese curries. The ambiance is simple and cozy, with minimal decor that sets the stage for a laid-back dining experience.
Sushi melted deliciously, luxuriously in our mouths -- exceptional preparation. Ordered the nigiri omakase which included ikura, toro, chutoro, otoro, king salmon, yellow tail, sweet spotted shrimp (head fried), several pieces of broiled salmon as well as a roll. it came with me so soup. We ordered some baked mussels and ikura from the Columbia River on the side. Tab came out to $88 for the two of us. Service was attentive and food was prepared very quickly even though the restaurant was full. parking is plentiful and free.

For absolutely amazing sushi at a good price, you have to try Oto Sushi!! We have gone as a family many times and my youngest daughter doesn't like sushi but they have lots of good options for those that don't. The rest of the family LOVES good sushi and it's hard to find a place that serves really good, quality food at a price most people can afford. The presentation is always nice. They spend time thinking about how to display the food in an eye appealing way but also fun. The service is top notch. They pride themselves in making sure the customer is happy and satisfied. We have been there numerous times and the service is always fantastic. It's a relatively small place so it might be worth it to call ahead if you have anybody in a wheelchair or walker. The restaurant is on the street level so there are no stairs but the entry way includes some tight turns but you won't have a problem getting in but there isn't a lot of space between tables so calling in ahead for those with mobility needs is worth it. With the tables being relatively close together, there isn't any real privacy but the noise level isn't bad and people there are pleasant and it doesn't feel awkward. I would say that it would be nice to be in a bigger space that is more spread out, but they're limited with the space they have. The menu is quite extensive with a lot of options. It is fun to go multiple times and try new rolls or dinner platters. The rainbow dinner is fun as that is served on a boat like platter with a dry ice / steam bowl that covers the food. The firecracker roll and mexican roll are great options if you like a little spice. Overall, this is a great place and I highly recommend it.

Oto Sushi is my new go-to in Kirkland! It's conveniently near Juanita Park with easy parking. They do lunch and dinner, offering everything from sushi to comfort grub like rice bowls. Inside, it's chill with plenty of seats – never had to wait, even during peak times. The service rocks; they bring out drinks and edamame right away, a cool touch. Lunch is our vibe for the wallet, but dinner has more choices. Fish isn't super fancy, but it beats conveyor belt joints or places in the same price zone. The salmon passes our taste test. Love that they don't overload the nigiri with rice, letting the fish shine. Soy sauce isn't crazy salty, and the free miso soup has a sweet kick. Rolls come in different price ranges, and they're worth it. Our top pick is the King Salmon roll. They're quick with the food – no long waits. We usually drop around $20 per person for lunch. Overall, Oto Sushi nails it with a sweet location, reasonable prices, a mix of options, and tasty bites. Perfect for a laid-back sushi fix!

Their happy hour menu is surprisingly large, with great choices like the dragon roll and eel roll—both delicious. I also ordered the Philadelphia roll from the regular menu. They serve edamame, but I’d recommend adding green tea and miso soup to round out the experience. Enough space on a Wednesday around lunch time.

We love the Oto Sushi in Redmond and we’ve been going there quite often. This time we were in the area and decide to eat here, thinking it would have similar quality. But it was disappointing. The chicken karaage was dry, the batter tasted like dust. The ikura nigiri was quite fresh but somehow bland. The spicy tuna roll was just bland, no flavor compared to what we have at the Redmond branch; the sushi rice was dry, not stick together. It’s really not a good sign that we had food left over and didn’t want to box it to go.
Huong P — Google review
Very nice and cozy dinning room with a sushi bar. Service was flawless. Menu was nice and all the rolls we ordered came out quick and looked BEAUTIFUL. My only complaint is the dishes lacked that umami flavor I really enjoy with Sushi and other Japanese dishes. Maybe I'm being picky, but there was a brown sauce that was poured on 4 of the 5 rolls we ordered that was extremely sweet. (I want to say it was Unagi but it was so sweet I wasn't sure) My favorite roll is typically "the Dragon roll" or Eel with Unagi and fish, I typically get one almost every time I go for sushi. I was shocked at how sweet it was, almost like they had used Oysters sauce in place of the Unagi. The first few bites were delicious but the sweetness kept building and eventually made the rolls sort of a chore to finish. I typically like more Salty, bold, Umami "yummy" flavored rolls so I was disappointed with these as I had to supplement every bite with left over gyoza sauce and the table soy sauce. My pallet is obviously not the final say in flavor but I would only recommend the Sushi Rolls if you like them in the sweeter side. We ordered Gyoza (phenomenal filling and the sauce was perfect) Fire starter roll (the best one that tastes the most like clean fish sushi) Dragon roll (way to sweet) Crunchy roll (way to sweet) Salmon king roll (2nd best of the list) Spider roll (extremely bland unfortunately) Mizo soup was also very tasty. Over all it was still a delicious lunch, just a little to sweet for my preference.

Pizzaiolo wood fired pizza is a cozy, locally owned spot that serves Neapolitan-style pizzas, calzones, and salads in a laid-back atmosphere. Despite initial skepticism about the surroundings, visitors were pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality of the food. The iconic pizzas hold their own even for those accustomed to New York's famous pies. The wood-fired crust adds a delicate touch to the delicious pizzas.
Super delicious I consider myself a calzone connoisseur having tried them from New York to Los Angeles and everywhere in between. Without a doubt this ranks in the top 5 for sure great tasting sauce plenty of cheese plus generous amounts of meats! After the first bite it was impossible to stop just so so very deliciously AWESOME!

Wonderful wood fired pizza The place has ample parking and it was great to try them on a frosty night! They have a great selection of vegetarian items on their menu We tried the vegetarian and Margarita pizza and they both were delish! The vegetarian pizza was filled with yummy toppings. The pizza's were thin, chewy and had a wonderful charred taste. It was so good! The portion size was good- we took 2 small for a group of 3. I saw large on a few tables and it was definitely LARGE! We also tried the Caesar salad and Tiramisu- it was okay. Having read the great reviews for the dessert, I was expecting it to be amazing but it was meh! Great pizza place !! I definitely want to try other vegetarian options on the menu

I’ve been sitting on this review for long enough. Almost daily I think about this pizza I had a few weeks ago, the Margherita Di Bufala. I was sitting at home, looking at a friends story from New York of some amazing slice of Neapolitan style Pizza and I said “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” . I got on my phone and found the closest spot I could and sure enough stumbled upon this gem. I drive past it everyday for work and didn’t even realize. I looked at the photos online and decided I’d go for this exact style of pizza. I was greeted with a smile, kindly helped, and no less than 10 minutes later I had my pizza. I couldn’t hold my excitement 5 minutes. I got to my car, lifted the lid, and was met with the scent of fresh tomato sauce, beautifully thin crispy crust, and the mozzarella from my dreams. This is pizza was simply incredible. If you live in Kirkland or anywhere near all I can do is recommend you treat yourself to a slice of heaven.

I drove 40 minutes to try these guys out after getting a craving for real pizza. It is a small business (literally and figuratively) connected to a few other establishments, and their sign isn't lit up, so you could easily miss it if you're not from the area. Inside, there is room for about 16-20 people comfortably. We went on a Friday around 6:30pm and it wasn't crazy busy. A lot of food delivery people were going in and out, and about 10 people dining in. We were able to place our order pretty quickly and were seated with a big glass container of water and 2 glasses. It only took about 20-25 minutes to get our pies. I got the Margherita, and my daughter got the Pepperoni. They were whole 12" wood-fired pizzas and cost about $19 each. I had very high expectations, but my initial reaction was that it was just better than average. But, after the 2nd and 3rd slice, I realized this was great pizza and probably the best I've had in Washington. The crust has a nice crisp to it, great color, and is delicious. The sauce is slightly sweet, and the mozzarella was perfect, not rubbery at all. The pepperoni on my daughter's pizza tasted fresh and wasn't greasy. Each pie had 6 slices. We each ate 3 of our own, and one of the other's. You can tell food is good and fresh ingredients are used when you are full, but don't feel weighed-down and gross. We wanted to eat more but decided to take the rest home for left-overs. We both had our other 2 slices within 15 minutes of getting back. They are a little more expensive than chain-pizza places, and they are a bit far from us, so this might be a once-in-a-while treat, but they are VERY good and definitely worth it.

Very authentic Mediterranean food! I think in terms of authenticity, it is the closet you can get in the Greater Seattle area to the Lebanese kitchen. They bake their bread on demand inside the kitchen. The Manakesh smell was amazing! The staff were extremely nice and kind, happy to help and explain everything. We went there during the Eid and it was filled with families having good time with good vibes. We liked the Falafel and Kabab and the Mankoshe was nice too. They also have Arabic songs playing on the background, it was nice and we felt nostalgic.

Serious Pie has brought a new dining experience to the Totem Lake neighborhood, which was not previously known for its culinary offerings. The arrival of The Village at Totem Lake has transformed the area, with various eateries like Serious Pie, Silverlake Ramen, and Stack 571 now available. Customers have praised Serious Pie's delicious pizzas and perfectly baked crusts. However, some felt that the portion size did not match the price paid.
Loved the kale salad as an appetizer The portion is pretty large… could feed 3 people And the mushroom truffle pizza was absolutely delicious! Just the right amount of truffle oil The pizza at this place is thin crust so if you like thick heavy crust this place would not be the place for you The pricing for the items are extremely reasonable as well For two people we got one pizza, a salad, and a small tomato soup which was the perfect amount The tomato soup was good but not to die for Would not get unless you really enjoy tomato soup

One of my fave pizza(?) places! The menu is limited but all of the pies are so unique and delicious. My friend and I shared the potato rosemary one and we both loved it! Very very cheesy. We had this more as a snack, so if you come here for dinner I suggest 2 pizzas to share between 2 people, or at least geg a starter! We completely missed the drink menu somehow and I only realized as we were leaving so I’m totally mourning that. Went around 4:40pm on a Sunday and there was tons of space, got to pick our table out. Outdoor seating is limited but it wasn’t full when we were there. The staff were super friendly and didn’t rush us at all.

Serious Pie at Totem Lake (Kirkland) is an artisanal pizzeria by Tom Douglas, featuring wood-fired, thin-crust pizzas and a creative range of starters, salads, and sweets. During my recent lunch visit, the initial service was slow, it took about 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged our arrival. While the staff became attentive once we were seated, the hygiene standards could use improvement. I noticed some crew members preparing pizzas without wearing gloves, and one of the plates we received had gum stuck to it, which I’m sure was unintentional. Our Fresh Mozzarella Pizza and Mushroom Pizza were delicious, with a perfectly cooked crust. The wood-fired oven adds a rustic depth to the flavor, and the toppings are thoughtfully balanced. The cheese pizza was Ok, though it leaned a bit salty for our taste. The Roman Artichoke and Kale salads were another highlight, fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor, making them more than just a side dish. Other local favorites include Yukon Gold Potato, Fennel Sausage pizzas, and the Biscuit Brunch.

I recently visited Serious Pie at Totem Lake and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, with a cozy exterior and friendly staff. The menu offered a wide variety of pizzas, catering to both traditional and adventurous tastes. I opted for the classic mozzarella and the fennel sausage pizzas. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a deliciously chewy texture. The service was prompt, and the staff was attentive. They made sure our drinks were refilled and checked in to ensure we were enjoying our meal.

If you’re not ready for a pizza that unapologetically drips with personality (and oil), then keep walking. This pie showed up glistening like it had been blessed by the culinary gods themselves, oily, yes, but in the kind of way that makes you whisper damn, that’s good before you even take a bite. The cheese wasn’t just melted; it was draped across the pepperoni with the elegance of a royal robe. Each slice of pepperoni felt less like a topping and more like a co-star in a Shakespearean play, bold, dramatic, and a little greasy (but in the best possible way). And then there’s the bread. Holy hell. This crust was baked with such precision that even God himself would have to pause mid-commandment and say, “Ah, so that’s what ‘breaking bread’ was supposed to mean.” It’s perfection, crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside, and carrying the whole damn performance like a veteran lead actor. Bottom line? This wasn’t just pizza, it was an edible mic drop. Oily, cheesy, pepperoni-packed perfection. Damn good food.

Luckily!! There is a big parking garage nearby, or you can sometimes find street parking. Makes it easier to plan a visit here to Serious Pie. This time, we tried several pizzas and loved each one, with the nectarine special being the fave. The crust is light, crisp, almost pastry-like. Very flavorful yet somehow delicate and yet sturdy enough to handle real toppings. Wait staff are genuine people with personalities that can be interesting to experience, generally in a really good way. It's refreshing not to have perfunctory service for a change.

Bakery
Persian restaurant
Nestled in a modest strip mall, Aria Food & Bakery is a hidden gem that offers an array of traditional Persian delights. This charming bakery specializes in freshly baked sangak flatbreads and delectable sweets like baklava, alongside a tempting menu featuring flatbread sandwiches and pizza made in-house. The unique toppings reflect both Persian and Mediterranean influences, including an intriguing pie topped with the herb-rich ghormeh sabzi stew.
Really good Persian bakery with some great selections and nice service. Will be coming back for some bread and more desserts.

I’ve always looked forward to stopping here for Sangak bread, which used to be fresh, delicious, and consistent in quality. Unfortunately, during my most recent visit, I was shocked by how much the quality had declined. The bread was poorly made and nothing like what I had come to expect. It seems the owner is no longer overseeing the baking process as closely as before, and it shows. I was truly disappointed. I hope this review serves as a wake-up call for the management to pay closer attention to quality control and ensure that standards are maintained. This bakery has potential—please don't let it slip away.

As far as I know this is the only Persian bakery in the Seattle area. And we are lucky to have Aria because they bake flat bread there in the custom oven that sits in the middle of the store so lots of fresh bread every day!! Also you can get pasteries like cream puffs and napoleon and also sandwiches and pizza. This place has so many choices and its all very fresh from the oven! I will be coming in again and again for good food.

Never had bread as good as this. And they are right out of the oven, fresh warm and aroma to die for! Sign outside look rundown but don't let that fool you. Also inside do not have jazzy sparkles but I liked it as is, made you feel as though you stepped into that part of the world kind of feeling... Loved all the breads and deserts!

I honestly can’t wrap my head around how a bakery can fail so spectacularly at everything it makes. It’s like they held a contest to see which item could be the worst — and somehow, every single one tied for first place. We ordered Halim, cream puffs, barbari naan, and pizza. The pizza was so bad we couldn’t even get through two slices before tossing it in the trash. The bread was stale and joyless, and the cream puffs? Filled with sour, spoiled cream that should have been in the bin days ago. Every item was a new low. This place isn’t just bad for business — it’s a crime against baked goods.

Italian restaurant
Pizza restaurant
Acropolis Pizza & Pasta in Kirkland is a beloved family-owned restaurant that has been serving delicious Italian and Greek cuisine since 1974. The no-frills diner offers a variety of options including pizzas, grinders, pasta, and salads with secret sauces that keep customers coming back for more. The friendly staff and accommodating service make it a great spot for families and larger groups to enjoy a meal together.
This restaurant is reminiscent of an old school NY/NJ diner with booth seating and 1970-1980’s contemporary music playing in the background. The food is good old fashion comfort food with dishes loaded with sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. The pizza isn’t NYC style, but tastes more like a Chicago deep dish pizza with the sauce and pepperoni underneath the cheese laying on a buttery crust, but without the long bake time.
Daniel Y — Google review
Would give 10/5 stars if I could. My aunt took me here after she swore it was the best grinder she ever had. She started eating there in the 70s and it’s still owned and run by the same family. The grinder was definitely the best, by far. And prices are very reasonable. But the service was also above standard. The waitress helped me figure out what I could order safely with a diary allergy (which there was endless options) but everyone in there was attentive and supportive while we ate. Making sure we had everything we needed. Can’t wait to go back ! Love the cozy family atmosphere and the fact that its family operated is a huge plus. Lovely people & amazing food.

★★★★ Good Pizza, But I Ordered the Wrong One Acropolis Pizza in Kirkland has a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The service was fast, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. Unfortunately, I ended up choosing the wrong pizza for my taste. It wasn’t bad at all, just not what I was expecting. I probably should have gone with one of their more popular options. That said, the crust was perfectly baked, and the toppings were fresh, so I’ll definitely be back to try a different pizza next time. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a visit—just make sure to pick the right pizza for your taste!

Acropolis Pizza in Kirkland is a total gem, and their grinders are out of this world. My absolute favorite is the salami grinder — perfectly toasted bread, stacked with flavorful salami, melty cheese, and just the right touch of seasoning. It’s the kind of sandwich you crave again the minute you finish it. George, the owner, is awesome. Super friendly, welcoming, and clearly takes pride in everything he serves. You can tell this place is built on quality and community. If you haven’t tried their grinders yet, do yourself a favor and go. You’ll be hooked.

My kid LOVES IT! One of the best services we’ve ever had! The staff is so friendly & nice to her (my kid), me, and my wife. ⭐️ I’ve been coming here for about 2-ish years, and it has never disappointed! I recommend the garlic cheese bread & lasagna. Although sometimes some people judge you (customers), it’s very rare and has only happened to me once. All I have to say is, when you go there, prepare to be blasted with delicious foods! 10.5/10 definitely!

Hanuman Thai Cafe in Kirkland offers a vibrant dining experience with its bright walls and mismatched tables. The restaurant serves Southeast Asian cuisine, including vegetarian options, and provides a selection of beer and wine. Customers can expect quick and friendly service when dining in or ordering takeout. The menu features authentic Thai dishes such as pad see ew and pad Thai with beef, which are well-portioned and flavorful. Despite the casual atmosphere, the food is prepared quickly without compromising on taste.
The pineapple fried rice was really tasty! It has a kick from the curry taste and sweetness from raisins and pineapple chops. Spicy level is also correct (not too sweet like everywhere else), though it was too many brown onion chops, in my opinion. The service was quick and friendly

We ordered pad Thai with beef for take out. The food was prepared quickly, it was pretty tasty and it had a good amount of meat in it. Good amount of food for one person and ok to share for two if not too hungry. The noodles were a little smaller than I’m used to when ordering pad Thai but I still liked them.

- small cozy restaurant - We came here on Thursday night around 6pm, and it has one small table for the two of us. The rest of the tables (6 of them) were taken. The waitress greeted us and we sat down, got water and ordered within 5 minutes. The ambiance is quite nice, they play piano music in the background, and people weren't particularly loud. It gives a cozy vibe, which is nice. Hubby ordered green curry and I ordered the yum woon sen salad. Hubby's green curry comes with rice, and it was pretty standard. I enjoyed my salad, it's a bit sour just the way I like it. The bill came out to be around $35 before tip. Even though hubby said this place isn't as good as the two other Thai places in the area, I still had a good time dining in this cozy place.

First time trying as the other Thai restaurant was closing earlier. Had chicken Pad Kee Mao and Hanuman Typhoon (comes with jasmine rice). Both with 5 level spiciness but it felt like it was only 1 level. I like spicy food and I was expecting spicy but unfortunately they are not. The Hanuman Typhoon is flavorful! The Pad Kee Mao was so so. The interior lacks identity, but the service was quick. All in all, it was not bad.

I love the food at this place, we come out here every time we go on our boat in Kirkland. The only reason why I am giving a negative review is that the waitress was so rude, I would never go back. I kept saying thank you, she would not even once respond. She would set our food like it was an inconvenience to her. The man who normally serves is so polite and pleasant, he represented the place well. This lady was just plain rude and mean.

Fast food restaurant

Five Guys is a fast-food chain that specializes in customizable burgers, hot dogs, and fries. Customers can expect made-to-order meals with free peanuts to munch on while they wait. The menu boasts options such as bacon cheeseburgers and the signature big burger. Although shakes may not be everyone's top pick, the real showstoppers are the burgers themselves - featuring crumbly, lean patties cooked to perfection.
The best thing about 5 Guys is the vinegar and overflowing fries - yum! Been to a variety of locations (even in Ireland) where the food and drinks are consistent, which is great with kids in tow. This location is spacious, lots of indoor seating, always clean, with the friendliest employees. It is definitely expensive for "fast food" but the quality and abundance of toppings on the burgers (and overflowing fries!) ensure nobody leaves hungry... or needs to eat for the rest of the day! There is lots of parking and the location is ideally located just off the 405 Totem Lake freeway exit.

Food is good………but given the high prices, I can’t justify more than 2 stars. $7 for fries, $7 milkshake (which was very good slightly watery and not very big for $7). $12 for a cheeseburger………… 😶‍🌫️ Fries weren’t as crispy as I would prefer but to each his own.

Neither veggie cheese sandwich we ordered had any cheese in it. Both of them were overflowing with soggy onions and mushrooms, despite us saying no mushrooms for one and no onions for the other. Five Guys used to be good, but the quality seems to have gone way downhill over the years.

Got scammed from Uber eats here. The driver who I believe had my order looked nothing like the picture (and was female instead of male). Drove off immediately after walking closer to their car. Wrong license plate as well, but I know it matched because of the picture they took of the inside of their car. Please ensure that delivery drivers match the name of the person who takes the delivery....

It's not worth it for drivers to wait 10 min for fries to get than drive 15 to 20 minutes to customers just to make 6$ hoping it's a higher hidden pay or more than 2$ base pay. Put the fries on as soon as the driver gets there. Other restaurants don't make us wait that long 30 min for 6$

The place opens sharp at 11. The place is neat and the staff are awesome. I got the bacon cheeseburger 🍔 . The burger is yumm but is on the expensive side. About$10.50.

Absolutely the most ridiculous price to pay for ice cream! $5. 79 for the tiniest cup (probably 4 oz) at the Kirkland, WA store last night. You could buy a pint for that in the grocery store. I was looking forward to a small ice cream treat and was so disappointed by the price. Really obscene. Will not go there again. Yes, the ice cream is good, but Ben & Jerry sold out to the corporate system and the consumers lost. (Plus there was a young probably underpaid girl at the counter looking very stressed trying to keep up on a busy Friday night with no help but was very friendly and helpful and fast. I'm sure it will inspire her to go to school and get an education hopefully not in the corporate world.

**** BUYER BEWARE **** FALSE ADVERTISEMENT/deceptive Pricing As of October 12 2025, this place is scamming some of their guests. I order both a chicken Shwarma plate which says they include a drink on the menu and when I pick up my order to go, I mention I got 2 plates so which sodas can I pick. The person there says it doesnt come with it. He proceeds to show me the screen to show the menu items he picked to charge me and it ends up being around $21.25 for chicken without a drink and 27.50 for the beef shwarama without a drink. First off when I'm ordering food im looking at the menu above not the cash register so why would I know whats behind the counter screen... I was not informed that the prices are not the same and when i tried to get my drinks as advertised on the menu, they push back and are not willing to give me what costs $2 to them even though i paid over set menu price for these items. I come from a world that if you gave something incorrect on your menu, you honor the price of what you showed me. I left upset enough to spend my time writing this review. I am not even sure this is legal. Bait and switching your customers to get and extra few dollars from both more expensive pricing and uninformed pricing. The fries are only unique-ish thing about this place, the portions are huge so if you want that go for it. I only recommend you look at your receipt and check prices on menu over what they charged you.. They may be charging Uber eats prices to everyone but again if theres no food delivery upcharge when you go in locally why am I getting chaged so.

What a great place!! Unfortunately at the time I came it was not so pleasant experience. I assume there was a turn over because I had to wait at least 15 minutes to be served when there were no one else around to be served. Sam from what I was told at the time was the manager and Natalia happen to be the server. The line was extremely messy which I hold the waiting to my fault. I wasn't about to be served with the line being so disgustingly represented. I'm not to sure if the servers aren't as mindful of other particles being placed in the wrong bin and with food allergies one would think they would be a lot more mindful of the line being cleaned at all times. I did allow three other people to go ahead of me, but I demanded the line be cleaned. I guess if everyone else don't mind then the standards would never be raised. Maybe me standing there making the atmosphere dry, charge them to represent such an awesome place that not only allow you to see your food but has a good selection of healthy food choices. To the Owner thanks you-to the employees please keep the line clean.

The place has ample parking and has both outdoor and indoor seating. The indoor is great but I wouldn't really recommend the outdoor seating. Tried them first time during a weekend dinner time and was pleasantly surprised. They have a great selection of veggie items on their menu. You order at the counter and they bring it your table. We had their special mushroom primo that had a mix of 7different types of mushrooms such as crimini, chanterelle, oyster king, Maitake shimeji etc. The pizza had a great umami flavor, the crust was great and the base had a good garlic flavor. and the 13 inch was enough for sharing for two people.

Along with the really expensive breadsticks which are good but just disappointed with the higher cost you don’t get the better product. Maybe the remodel here is making things hard on the crew. Or maybe they were just having an off day. Edit: Pagliacci reached out about this and made it right. Definitely the way to do business and keep me coming back. Thanks Pizza Pals!

Stopped by for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised! The interior has THE atmosphere. It’s a bit warm which was nice cover from the rainy Washington spring weather. The choices were limited to cold subs, hot subs, and speciality subs. Looks like they took off a couple things off their menu. We ordered the 12inch sarducci sub with all the vegetables and many condiments. The bread was delicious. It was crusty and tasted great. It’s a good sub. They were kind and split the 12 inch into two 6 inches for us. Definitely making this my go to sub place if I’m craving one. Parking is abundant and you order off a kiosk so there’s no rush. You can also order ahead of time and pick it up. We came in on Easter Sunday so the bar seat and single outdoor seat was available.

A standout dish is their flavorful fit hit bowl, which showcases a delectable burrito bowl loaded with various salsas and toppings.
Only went through the drive-thru but the service was excellent and the food was fresh and tasty. However, my tummy doesn't really respond well to this food.... big bummer!! I do think there is too much salt in the meats, at least the beef.

Walked in and was not greeted, no other customers in the dining room. Waited 1 minute for someone to take our order. Employees standing around, one on their phone. Very unenthusiastic employees when I asked how their day was. Floor is dirty. Bathroom is dirty and toilet rocks side to side. I think they forgot to bring our food because we didn't order a lot and it took a long time. It's 11am, not busy at all. Food was good but we won't be back.

I mean Kirkland‘s all right I mean, I guess the food came out fast. It was just not quality as I see at taco time. Normally, I would highly recommend the Woodinville one. It’s been my day one, but I mean the crisp burritos were a little soggy like they’ve been sitting out. It’s a cool atmosphere though.

I’ve posted on this TacoTime before, but do try the cold press coffee that is on sale for a limited time. It is great with the sugar-free vanilla flavoring and half-and-half creamer

I’m from out of state so idk what I was expecting but this food belongs in the garbage can. NOTHING was edible. The tots tasted like fish, the churros smelled like a dirty dish towel, the nachos taste like dog food, and I didn’t even try the rest. I need my money back immediately

If you're on the hunt for delicious sub and club sandwiches, look no further than Jimmy John's. This popular counter-serve chain is known for its mouthwatering offerings and signature potato chips that perfectly complement your meal. Many fans rave about the exceptional delivery service, which makes it a breeze to enjoy their tasty sandwiches right at the office. With speedy deliveries and friendly staff who often send thoughtful text messages, it's clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority here.
I love this place. I get so busy at work that having the delivery to the office is so helpful. The sandwiches are always amazing. But I really want to say that the delivery staff is exceptional. Deliveries are always fast and they always send a nice texted message. Some of the best delivery service I have ever had.

I was actually not at this Jimmy John's for food today although I have been before and found the food to be good. Today, I was just driving by the store when one of the delivery drivers cut me off and then proceeded to flip me off. (Perhaps one should drive more carefully and be more courteous when one is in a marked SUV?) I called the store and a nice young man answered the phone. I asked to speak to the store manager as a complaint against an employee should be addressed at a managerial level. I heard the young man say "He would like to talk to you." I could hear a somewhat muffled dismissal as a response. The young gentleman asked me what this was regarding and I told him about the incident and he said that he would pass along the information to the manager. I reiterated that I wanted to speak to the manager to which he offered a sheepish "She is busy right now." I thought the role of a manager was to handle personnel, operations, and customer expectations. Perhaps there is some new thinking in managerial studies - "We don't need good customer service as long as we are meeting revenue and store goals?" Since it was clear that I was not going to get an apology and assurances that another member of the public was not going to be subjected to hazardous driving and inappropriate gestures, I decided to call the corporate customer service line. It appears that the customer-last philosophy is being set at the top. The customer service line goes directly to voicemail as a perky voice prompts the user to leave a message with a contact number and "We will get back to you." It is clear that no apology will be offered. I can only offer advice to the the young man that answered the phone. Jimmy John's is too good for you. Your manager should not have put you in the position to handle a customer complaint and DO HER JOB FOR HER. Clearly, there is a corporate culture of treating both employees and customers poorly. Young man, I do hope you find another job that respects you and appreciates your skills.

I ordered from Jimmy John’s at 7:27 and didn’t get my food until 8:40. When I called, the store admitted they didn’t have a driver and were scrambling to find a third-party service, meaning my order just sat around for over an hour. The whole “Freaky Fast” promise is a complete joke. Extremely disappointing experience, won’t be ordering from here again.

We frequent this location at least every other week, if not more, so I get really excited when I buy so much Jimmy John’s that I get a reward! Yay…but not quite the experience I had today. Today, I used a bday reward and $3.99 off an original on 2 separate orders on the same day. I couldn’t stack both, no problem- I did separate orders. No where on the mobile app does it say you can only use one reward per day. I completed my orders to pick up later. Great, super excited about lunch! I got out of my meeting early so I called to see if I could come now as opposed to later. Sure, no problem. The person I spoke to on the phone was great. He politely said, for next time please only use one reward a day. I said no problem, I will do that going forward. I honestly didn’t think it was a problem- otherwise wouldn’t they build that function into the app? Or have a disclaimer? Here’s where the story takes a turn and sadly my opinion of this location drops. Upon picking up my subs a different person loudly exclaims that I am not allowed to use more than one reward a day. Got it I said, someone already spoke to me. I won’t going forward. This same person then continues to talk about it and very loudly and publicly shames me. I just awkwardly stood there. My extra $4 off really must have upset this person. Now in all honestly, I will continue to come to this location because it’s in my neighborhood but can someone share with the staff -please remember to be kind, it costs nothing.

December 9, 2023: Big surprise, after being directed to a feedback form where I was allowed to air my complaints, and being told I would hear back from the company in 24 hours, I have heard nothing. It's really sad to see a company I have adored the last 15 years go to complete garbage. This franchise owner should just close his doors and save the other stores some grief by not being associated with it. November 29, 2023: First time ordering since the first review. Unfortunately, this place still cannot get their stuff together. Once again- no knock! WTH is keeping them from knocking on my door? I requested they leave it at my door. You would think a knock would be standard so my food doesn't die on my doorstep. They also forgot the bacon on my sandwich. Happens a lot at this location. Glad I was able to donate another $4 to this location. Throw on the 30% tip and I basically just threw away $10. Gonna stick to Jersey Mikes from here on out. You should too! Original from January 2023: Always something with this location. Thankfully it was correct this time. Took over an hour and the driver couldn’t even knock or ring the doorbell. Such a disappointing location. I’m done. Edit: couldn’t even eat it because the bread was so soggy. Not to mention the ice had clearly melted and soda was flat. I’m guessing this was prepared and sitting in someone’s car for an hour. Awful.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful culinary adventure, look no further than SUPER GYROS! This food truck offers an impressive array of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. I opted for their chicken shawarma and lamb gyro, which were served with fresh pita bread that perfectly complemented the savory meats. While there was a slight mix-up with my order, it didn't detract from the overall experience. The vibrant salads packed with crispy veggies and delicious sauces added to the meal's appeal.
Good value for your money! I don’t eat a lot so I love getting the side of falafel. It comes with 6 falafels, a pita bread, and some veggies for about $6. Perfect snack, comes out hot and fresh. Plenty of free parking next to a gas station.

Such a hidden gem! 🚚✨ The falafel naan was crispy on the outside and soft inside — absolutely delicious 😋. The lamb salad was packed with flavor, fresh veggies, and perfectly cooked meat 🥗🐑. Everything tasted homemade and full of love. The portions are generous, and the service is super friendly. It’s the kind of food truck you’ll want to come back to again and again. If you’re around, don’t miss this spot — it’s seriously one of the best Mediterranean bites I’ve had in a while! 🥙🔥

Simply Delicious. Fresh crispy, crunchy veggies. Yummy sauces. I was expecting low quality food because they are a truck. I was blown away when I got the food. It was superior quality, big huge portion. Tasty flavorful meat., fresh crispy, tasty salad.. Then talk about the potato fries. They were so fresh . They can't get any fresher than this..Crispy on the outside with nice exotic color,and soft on the inside. And they were yummy. Enjoyable to the last 🍟 fries. All these served with a very nice smile, and a good greeting from the nice friendly server. Nice clean place. Lots of open space to enjoy this Delicious food. Prices are really reasonable. Also they have good selection of drinks, and juices, and Soda If you are in the area , and you like Gyros, make sure you check them out.

This is my first time trying this gyro truck. The sandwich was loaded with meat but hardly any sauce so the overall taste was ok and this is the reason I did not give five stars. The fries was good. The staff and service were good too. I am hoping they will do A better job on the sauce. I will go back to try it again.

This gyro place has the best salad I've ever tried in my life and it's also one of the best dishes I have ever tried in my life. That is the chicken shawarma salad and it DOES NOT. disappoint. I recommend every item on the menu too, easily the BEST Mediterranean spot I have ever been to, and I've tried a lot here in Washington state.
Joss — Google review
Exploring this gyro truck was a new experience for me. The fries left something to be desired in terms of flavor. The staff and service, on the other hand, were commendable. I opted for the chicken shawarma and lamb gyro plate, and I found the pita bread and the interplay of flavors to be delightful. Regrettably, my order was a bit mixed up, resulting in just the chicken shawarma and a lamb gyro instead of the full plate. It's hard to beat this place in the area considering the price. It's become one of my preferred choices nearby.

Chick-fil-A is a popular fast-food chain renowned for its delicious chicken sandwiches and nuggets, complemented by a variety of salads and sides. With ample seating and convenient parking, it’s an inviting spot to enjoy a meal. Despite the bustling drive-thru lines, the service remains impressively efficient and friendly. Diners rave about the spicy chicken sandwich, which features generous portions of juicy chicken fillets topped with fresh tomatoes and pickles.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jonah from Chick-fil-A for our Sugar + Spoon summer squad party, and the experience was truly outstanding. I met Jonah at a local event and asked if we could book the Chick-fil-A booth for our team party. Not only did he say yes, but he personally showed up on his day off weeks later to serve our team in person! Jonah arrived early, was ready to go in minutes, brought a positive and professional energy, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. His customer service was exceptional, and it really elevated the entire experience for our team. We loved having him with us—it felt like more than just catering, it felt like he was part of the celebration. Huge thank you to Jonah and Chick-fil-A Totem Lake for making our party so SO special!!!

We like to get the grilled nuggets. Always consistent. 1/2 sweet tea as well. I've tried the ice cream once before and still didn't like it today but it was hot out and so it served it's purpose. I love they have the AC in the play area and games on this counter to play with friends or family! They have a new trash can system which is just a tiny bit annoying if there's lots of people trying to throw their trash away at once. 😂 No biggie. Everything was nicely stocked, except I didn't see the customary hand wipes or mints they usually have everywhere. Bathroom was cleaned and stocked.

My husband had a spicy deluxe burger and chicken nuggets. He liked both of them with Chick-fil-A sauce. Rating - 4/5 And I had a strawberry milkshake. It lacked a distinct strawberry flavor. It seemed to be primarily vanilla ice cream with only a minimal amount of strawberry syrup added. Rating - 2/5

They have lot of dining seats. The parking is good. The drive-in is super crowded. I find the serving staff very helpful. The spicy chicken sandwich I ordered was served quickly and it tasted great.

FREAKING TERRIBLE 😡😡😡 As an ex manager at a downtown JJs I’m furious at how bad this store is. No tuna was made, so I had to get the vegetarian, my bf ordered our TWO sandwiches, I was at home with a subluxed shoulder in a ton of pain, I’m so angry right now. All I wanted was a dang tuna sandwich that had LIGHT peppers, cut in half, all freebies. THEY DID NONE OF THAT! NONE! It’s almost impressive how much this guy ignored literally everything that was asked. My bf was the ONLY one in line, 2 sandwiches. He ordered a bacon bourbon with NO tomatoes- they didn’t even do that right 😡 If my bf was allergic to tomatoes, I guess we’d be using an $800 epi pen right now? I’m having to one armed make my sandwich myself with my dominate one in a sling, having to add oregano, pickles, vinegar and balsamic to make up for NO freebies. Had to add a pinch of soy sauce to tuna I had to try to make jimmy tuna at home (yes that’s the secret ingredient) I’m just furious. Not the day I could handle getting food wrong while in ridiculous pain. They didn’t get ONE sandwich right with NO one else in line. I’m furious my bf tipped them even 😡 Ps this isn’t LIGHT peppers either! I know because I worked at 6 locations even one out of state and was a store manager at Pikes place.

Absolutely unacceptable customer service. I ordered a sandwich to go, when I got home I noticed it was missing meat and cheese. I called the store to ask them if I could get a new sandwich. After waiting 10 minutes on hold the manager did not apologize and accused me of lying. After I told him I’d bring the whole sandwich back in he offered to make a new one for me. I drove all the way back to pick it up and when I did the manager still did not apologize for the issue and just handed me the sandwich rudely and walked away. I’d recommend going to a different location if you have the choice. See the picture below of the sandwich with no meat. This guy acts like I had something to gain by complaining. What a joke…

I tend to order lunch from your location quite frequently. Just a few recommendations. 1) When toasting a sandwich, maybe toast the meat and cheese, and then add stuff like lettuce, avocado, cucumbers, and other common stuff. I got my sandwich today and the cucumbers were dry and rubbery, the avocado was brown, and the tomatoes were rubbery too. I had to scrape all of this stuff off so it could be somewhat edible. 2) Your delivery guys are always so polite but kind of suck at reading instructions. My note always states to knock on the office door because it is often locked for safety reasons. Today, your driver almost left because "the door was locked". Totally polite and apologetic but I would've been upset if my food wasn't delivered due to someone not reading a note. 3) This doesn't apply to today's order but in past orders, when i order a fountain drink, it always has such minimal ice. I finally just stopped ordering drinks from you but it would be nice to get a fountain drink that's actually cold and has ice in the cup.
TOMMIE R — Google review
I’ve ordered here multiple times in the last year, and every single time my order is wrong lol. I guess the joke is on me because I keep giving them another chance. My sandwich is always missing either oil and vinegar or onions or something else or they add mayo to the sandwich even though it doesn’t come with mayo. It’s incredibly frustrating not being able to get the sandwich you want after multiple attempts trying to order the same thing. Do not go here, just go to Jersey Mike’s or someplace else entirely.

I arrived at 8:13 and waited for five minutes while the staff member, who was busy texting, finally approached me to take my order.

Taco Bell is a beloved fast-food chain that specializes in delicious Mexican-inspired dishes like tacos, quesadillas, and nachos.

The atmosphere is inviting, with ample natural light streaming through large windows, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy your meal.
I can't claim to be an expert, but Ive been to...a lot ..of different Taco Bells. This is one of, if not THE best. Clean, fast, friendly....but more importantly they pay attention and make your food the way you ordered it. Extra cheese, extra sauce? You can tell it's on there.

I normally don’t leave reviews, but my experience at this location was upsetting enough that I felt the need to share. From the beginning, the service was poor. The team member who took my order sounded rushed and was noticeably rude. I ordered two Nacho Fries, but when I got to the window and checked my order, I noticed I only received one. I politely informed them of the mistake, explaining that I ordered two, but they had only charged me for one. Instead of correcting the issue, they told me I would need to go around the drive-thru again to reorder. This wasn’t my mistake it was theirs and I shouldn’t have been inconvenienced because of it. Reluctantly, I drove around and reordered the missing item. When I returned to the window, I asked to speak with the manager. The young woman at the window told me he was busy. I asked for his name, and she said she didn’t know because she was new. That in itself was unprofessional, but what happened next was beyond unacceptable. The man who had taken my order made a degrading comment in Spanish, calling me a “stupid woman” and telling his co-worker that I “needed to go.” What he didn’t realize is that I speak and understand Spanish. That level of disrespect is absolutely unacceptable. This was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. As a business owner myself, I can say with confidence that I would never treat my customers this way. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and trains their staff on basic professionalism and respect. No customer deserves to be treated like this.

This Taco Bell feels like it was designed by someone who hates comfort. The self-serve kiosks replace people but add confusion, and the layout makes it clear: order fast, eat faster, and please leave. Booths are boxed in by massive glass walls, so you get to enjoy your tacos while strangers in line at the drive-through stare at you . The whole vibe screams “you’re not supposed to stay here.” Great for grabbing food. Terrible for being a human.

im a big taco bell fan so even im a bit surprised im giving this review. my issue isnt with the food (i was given a slice of pepperoni on my doritos locos taco though which was odd but actually didnt taste too bad) it was the overly excessive messaging on the walls. like i get it, im mexican too but i just dont care to constantly be told im at a taco bell like yeah i know man thats why i walked in the door. i also havent experienced the drive through cus my license is suspended but im sure its better than inside the restaurant. the employee who took my order called me "cracker" the last time i went but i feel like it was in an endearing way. could be a great location but sadly they have to slap it in my face that im at a taco bell.

Despite the food being cheap(as all fast food should be), it was actually insane how little meat was in the burrito and crunch wrap we ordered. My burrito is LITERALLY called the Beefy Melt burrito!!

Jack in the Box is a fast-food haven that offers an eclectic menu featuring burgers, chicken, tacos, and breakfast items. This chain has a playful spirit that invites you to indulge in their unique offerings—like the Loaded Tiny Tacos served in a charming Chinese takeout box. It's hard not to enjoy these delightful bites! The experience is made even better by friendly staff who provide excellent service at all hours.
The employee working at the 11AM shift was very friendly and kind. I paid in cash and quarters and he counted everything I had without any issues at the drive thru. These things are very small details people notice at the drive thru but I hope this employee goes a long way with the patience and kindness he has with the customers. He definitely deserves recognition for his kindness.

I know we're not supposed to like fast food anymore ... but Jack in the Box is just fun. They are daring you to not want fast food tacos.... and they won! I did. And I loved them. I was absolutely stuffed after I had the Loaded Tiny Tacos. It's legit, a box of tiny tacos with sauce and lettuce and cheese, served in a Chinese food style box. 🤌🏻 Perfection. Eat it with a fork. Have it with a coke. Guilty pleasures never seemed so fun.

My family does not eat fast food much. Its over priced usually cold not great service. Rather pay slightly more because of tip for all around better. Well tonight we went to this Jack in the Box. First time in probably 2yrs. And we got what we thought we would get. Explosive food smaller burgers cold fries not friendly service. Not rude but nothing to write home about. We ordered our son's burger with no cheese it had cheese. So we has to turn. Back and they made us a new burger. The only saving grace was how fast they made a new one. So $50 3 people 3 combos cold fries , medses up burger, bellow par service.

Well-known fast-food chain serving grilled burgers, fries & shakes.
They got everyone's order wrong, all 4 of us, but we ate what we got and were thankful. The people were sweet. The parking lot is small, and a pain to get in and out, but there's such a limit of parking spaces in the city, so I'm glad I didn't have my huge truck with me!

I went through the drive-through line, ordered the impossible whopper of cheese, asked for some extra mayonnaise packets. Got home and went to put some mayonnaise on the burger, and I got this runny yellow liquid with white chunks coming out of the package onto my burger before I could even realize the mistake! I would normally call and let them know that somebody left their mayonnaise next to a hot oven or some other hot surface because it’s completely separated and disgusting - But they have their number disconnected, and they haven’t reconnected that number for at least three months, if not longer. Extremely frustrating! This is definitely gonna happen to other people and there’s nothing I can do to inform them at this point. The mayonnaise smells rancid and now I have nothing to eat. The guy running the drive-through was really nice though so props to them for that.

Either the owner of this location is super cheap, or the cashiers here are incompetent. Every time I want to redeem my FREE items earned from their rewards program, all the staff (no matter what day) says I can't claim it unless I pay for something. I've been able to redeem my free rewards at the Aurora and 130th location multiple times and even got a response from Burger King that says there should be no charge when redeeming rewards. When I order online for pickup, there's no charge at all when using my rewards. I should have been doing that to begin with. The cashiers here are also way less friendly than the ones at the other Burger King I go to. The chicken nuggets are super tiny, thin, and dry. McDonald's nuggets are much better. I don't know what to call the area with the soda machine, but it's bare besides the soda machine and lids, so you have to ask for everything if you want anything.

Don’t just read mine, go check all the other 1-3 star reviews and you will see the truth. 4-5 star reviews are workers or friends/family of the workers. Pathetic will not cook food, and will complain about an order for DoorDash that is too far away.😂😂 bring back $7.25/hr wages they do no deserve $17-20/hr Cancelled a $120 order saying it was too far away for BK to cook food for a DoorDash order. (6.6 miles away) You have been reported to Corporate Office and the BBB, hopefully that doesn’t ruin your franchise. Next time adhere to your Advertising and don’t falsely advertise saying you have no maximum delivery radius (as does DoorDash) This is just a lazy set of workers do yourself a favor and order something else.

Placed an order for my wife and I and they messed up my wife's order 2 times. My wife ordered mayo only and they could not get it right. Once the ladies got the order correct the ladies commented that they should have put jalapeños into my wife's order in spanish. Then they both laughed after me and my wife were sitting in the booth. We both understood what she said in Spanish and that's not right. The food was good, and the wait time was short aside from the disrespectful behavior.

When I was ordering through the drive thru the person was so quiet that I could barely understand them, I ordered my food and when I got up there, it wasn't even exactly what I wanted, I had asked for a drink and she instead gave me fries. I don't know how she misunderstood me, I didn't even ask for a sprite. I had a long day so I decided not even to argue and just gave up and got a drink somewhere else. When I ate my food it was already cold after 5-10 minutes as well.

Placed mobile order for drive thru. Arrive 45 minutes before close to pick up but drive thru is blocked and doors to inside locked. Thankfully got a refund through the app but not cool being able to place mobile orders if not actually open
Devan E — Google review
Went through the drive through. The worker didn't hear us and instead of correcting our order and just understanding that it could have been miscommunication and argued with us about our order. This behavior would be acceptable if it was a teenager working but this was a grown man in his 40's.

If you find yourself in Kirkland, WA, make sure to stop by "I Love Teriyaki," a delightful casual eatery nestled in a strip mall. This spot specializes in both Chinese dishes and mouthwatering teriyaki meats that are sure to satisfy your cravings. After an eventful day at the nearby Hyundai dealership, I stumbled upon this gem and was blown away by their spicy chicken teriyaki—definitely not your average dish!
This place seems to be a favorite for some as there were some regular clients , one even trying to suggest some food, as there's so many options on the menu. The lady serving was very polite and she had patience till we decided what to order. She brought the food at the table pretty quick. The portions are big that we had to ask for a to go box . They bring the silverware as well, but then I had to ask for a disposable one for my leftovers. We ordered curry and chicken Katsu and Chicken Gyoza

Great service! The restaurant itself is pretty clean and tidy. The food was cooked perfectly. I even talked to the older lady, she was in great spirits and talked with me. Came here to pick up some yummy Teriyaki and Gyoza. 😋😃 I reccomend this place highly. You will get plenty of meat and rice with your plates... order wisely, there is a lot of stuff on the menu but each is unique, so dont be afraid to try something new each time. Enjoy guys! Nom nom. 🍽😇

JC One liner review: Just go try their spicy chicken and yakisoba. Best teriyaki in town! I stumbled upon this teriyaki place after spending some time at the Hyundai dealership nearby. Buying a car takes a lot of commitment and time so we got hungry and needed food. Then.. the best spicy chicken teriyaki ever! I understand many teriyaki places offer the spicy chicken teriyaki and most places just put some sriracha sauce while stirring. Trust me, this place is different. The spicy sauce is different. It will not be the same one you’ve had in many other teriyaki restaurants. After that, we had chicken yakisoba. I know, I know, it is a very boring typical choice but yet the yakisoba was amazing. There are mushroom pieces in it for the price of $9. You cannot find a better deal elsewhere. Ambiance: typical teriyaki asian restaurant Service: as expected, fast and professional Pricing: very cheap considering we’re in 2021 now Tip: Get a coupon; after you spend $120, you get a $5 discount.

Coldest salad I’ve ever had, love that they put the salads in a separate bag than the hot food. I ordered extra meat and they filled up an entire container with meat, which made the extra $$ feel super worth it! Spent ~$40 with tip for practically four meals.

This place was packed at lunch, but they got my order out quickly and efficiently. I ordered the tofu yakisoba. It was a huge portion with lots of noodles, but a little light in the veggies. The establishment was clean but somewhat dated in decor.

Best experience tonight I came in right before closing and there were a couple other people in the store, Mariana handled everything so smoothly she was absolutely excellent, I was a bit slower than normal ordering and she was so patient and attentive and even recommended an option, I will be coming back to this location!!

They don't use a vacuum to clean the floor, just a broom and they use it while customers are in the store. The dirt flies up into the air while they are sweeping. Why not just use a vacuum and mop lile normal?

Standard subway, but failed on the veggies. Very limited amounts of veggies on the sandwich. Would have given more stars if more veggies. Then ask for a tip on something that you are paid to do, don't get it.

They forced me to purchase my sandwich before allowing me to use the restroom. I find this to be rude. I understand that sometimes homeless people can be a problem, but I neither appear homeless, nor should one assume that I have bad intentions even if I did appear homeless.

Having previously owned a Subway franchise, I recognize a well run Subway when I see one (there are quite a few that aren't). This is one of those. My wife is incredibly picky as well, with the establishment and the food. She won't go anywhere else. Well run, clean and an extremely well trained and friendly staff, best in the area. As for those who complain about the limited coupon acceptance ( there is a list of sandwiches that thay will accept coupons for), Subway forces these coupons on the franchisees and they get no compensation for them. Many Subways won't accept them either. Many that do accept them cut back on the ingredients, or up the prices to make up some of the difference. Not this one.

I love that it is clean, so I don't feel I need to worry extra about getting food poisoning. I have some disabilities and they are always very accommodating. The staff have all been very friendly. I generally get the same sandwich, and theirs are the best I have had. I'd imagine that's because they are clean and seem as sanitary as this kind of place can be. I will definitely be going back. Thanks you guys! :) Update: Thank you to the person who helped me today (March 28th, 2024) at about 7:30. I ordered through the app from the wrong location. I was so confused. Thank you so much! I couldn't see the name tag but if the owners see this, give them a raise. Anyways!

The older guy that works here seems to have a hard time taking orders. Heavens forbid you ask for your sandwich as advertised and ask to leave the tomatoes off. Twice he has gotten an attitude with me for saying no tomatoes.

Metropolitan Market in Kirkland is an upscale supermarket chain offering a wide range of premium food items, including ready-to-eat meals. While the prices may be higher, customers are rewarded with a diverse selection of top-notch products. The produce section boasts exceptional fruits and vegetables, while the skilled butcher can expertly handle various cuts of meat. Additionally, the store offers an impressive assortment of locally sourced seafood like salmon, halibut, and crab.
The local Whole Foods market is rather pricey, but it offers incredibly fresh produce. The salad and olive bars are a delightful addition, and the bakery is truly exceptional.

Visited Metropolitan Market for the first time and noticed it had two separate entrances, but only one had working checkout stands. The other entrance had a register area that was blocked off. It left me wondering if it’ll be opened in the future. Inside, the store had a wide variety of selections, including fresh seafood and a hot food section with a self-serve buffet bar. The layout was clean and inviting, and there were employees available throughout the store, which made the experience smoother. Parking, however, was a bit chaotic. The plaza was packed due to several nearby businesses, and the busy intersection didn’t help. Despite the parking situation, the store itself was impressive and worth the stop. JY review

Always something seasonal to enjoy in the produce section. The local strawberries were worth the half paycheck it cost. So good though. The deli and hot food cold food bar are great for a weekend meal. The sandwiches, sushi, prime rib meal and bake/coffee shop have great variety of offerings for every taste palate. My family and I love going to met market for vittles. Weekly coupons are good and sale items are reasonably priced. We really enjoy the cheese section as well. Going to the met market is like a special treat for us

The rotisserie chicken is extremely dry… I could hardly poke it through my fork. The skin is dry and hard enough to smash a rock. The worst rotisserie chicken I’ve ever had in my life. You got a lot of space to improve.

Overrated, EXPENSIVE , limited selection. This store is a social upscale place bring your ego and lots of money. I will admit the deli and premade food for a quick lunch is different and yummy. Most of items are local which elevates the price. ( I don’t understand why it’s more expensive if it’s local because it’s not frozen or shipped so it should be cheaper but NO WAY. Snobby rich socialites will be here so come join them…

Customer Service: Customer service was not the best. The female waiter kept on talking to her co-workers and stayed in the kitchen without checking on us. We had to wait for 20 minutes just to ask for more napkins. Food: Some of the dishes we ordered like Dan Dan noodle and crepe were way too salty.

I had mostly dismissed this place as a chain restaurant. Which it is, but very well done! It’s in a good location, food is affordable and the service is prompt. I’m not an expert at the cuisine, but loved what we ordered. The kale salad was simple and delicious. The crab meat xiaolongbaos were the bomb.

Always enjoy it when I'm able to go to Dough Zone. Everything tends to be good and tastes fresh. I really enjoyed the spicy beef pancake roll and the sweet spicy garlic sauce that comes with the wontons. Dough Zone is a great spot because just about everyone can find something they will like on the menu.
