Beautiful mall and stores!! But could definitely use 2X as many restrooms. Most restrooms only have 1-2 stalls which sucks when your waiting or being rushed. Overall beautiful mall. Not a fan of the mapping as it makes you double back to see some stores . But aside from the bathrooms I would definitely go back. Just gotta be sure you use the restroom beforehand . Pretty packed on the weekends , also it feel like about 73-74 degrees so a little hotter than I’m used to but just make sure not to wear a sweater

This is definitely one of the best malls in the Seattle-Tacoma area. Why? Because there is so many stores, the restaurants are very diverse and delicious and there is lots of parking. And I always come here, so 5/5.

A very popular and very classy mall in downtown Bellevue. This is a place with a large Tommy Bahama store in its upper floors and an actual Tesla store on a lower level, with cars inside the mall: that is the kind of place this is. Everyone here dresses stylishly, talks politely, and has a kind of innate self-confidence and assuredness that I admire. Personally, I wandered around, took a few pictures of the elegance, and bought a cone of Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream. It is a comfortable and pleasant space to relax, read, and watch people traveling through the shops and snapping a few selfies. I cannot think of a place better suited to the clientele of Bellevue, and I appreciate it for that reason.

Much better than Westfield, a neat and tidy mall, new HM store and Cos, and a good Barnes and nobel and Kizuki Ramen location. Macys here is the only store I dont like but Zara UniQlo and all the rest are great!

Amazing shopping mall with great stores for everyone. Nice food outlets as well. A big bookstore and many novelty shops. A must visit.

Top notch Shopping centre with restaurants and eating / beverage outlets . You have the high end brands and also brands that satisfy a moderate budget .

One of my absolute favorite malls Bellevue Square never disappoints 😍😍 I’ve been visiting this mall for years, and it still feels like a perfect shopping destination every time. What makes it extra special is that I used to work at Nordstrom here – so this place feels like home! The Nordstrom store is top-notch in terms of both service and selection. I also love browsing Macy’s, Bath & Body Works, and the stunning Swarovski store – their jewelry is simply beautiful and timeless. Another hidden gem is Buckle – they’ve got some really trendy styles and great denim options. What’s even better? It’s just a quick 5-minute drive from my home, so it’s my go-to for everything from shopping to casual coffee hangouts. I often stop by Woods Coffee or grab a pretzel from Auntie Anne’s – perfect pick-me-ups during a shopping spree! The mall is always clean, vibrant, and offers something for everyone – from luxury to everyday essentials. Highly recommend Bellevue Square to anyone looking for a fantastic shopping and lifestyle experience🙌🏻🙌🏻

This is a nice park with great views. Perfect to take an evening stroll. Beautiful views of the water from the pier. Has play area for kids as well as beach access. Very calm and pleasant for walking. Has free parking on site. Definitely worth visiting.

This spot is perfect for chilling, playing, boating, swimming, and having some water fun. Plus, there's a cool playground for sports ⚽🏀🏈⚾. The flowers are beautiful and well cared for. 😍

One of my favorite places to spend the evening, especially with the beautiful colors of the sunset. It’s great for kids—with a nice beach perfect for swimming and a fantastic playground. If you’re up for kayaking or trying out surf boats, there’s a rental spot nearby, making it super accessible. The flowers are well cared for, and the whole place smells wonderful. There’s also additional parking available, which is helpful because it can get pretty crowded on sunny days. Bonus: parking is free!

Nice beach area, facilities and kids park on the water. Can rent kayaks and paddleboards near the Marina. Water has been calm in the bay on each of my visits so looks like a great thing to try!

Beautiful park and right in the city. There is a rental place here, if you want to try kayaking and there are lots of people that bring their own paddle gear to enjoy the water. There's restrooms and public showers to rinse off. Plus a children's play area that looks fun. There are some walking trails as well. All in all, a great family spot.

Can't beat the view of Lake Washington here, even on a cloudy day. ♥️ Beautiful park, playground, clean restrooms. Door sign said closed until April but thankfully one was open for use. Great cement paths for walking. Lots of incline in some areas though, so although wheelchair accessible, could be tricky. Sandy beach, fantastic docks and perfect for sunset views.

One of the nicest lake parks in the Seattle area. the sunset on the lake in the cove simply cannot be beat. This is a shining example of what public parks should be. Lifeguards are on duty in the summer for families and other water users.

We really enjoy spending time at Bellevue Downtown Park. It’s such a beautiful space with wide open grassy areas, a peaceful walking loop with a waterfall, and just an overall calm, clean vibe. It’s a favorite spot for us to relax or let the kids run around. The Inspirational Playground inside the park is especially great for younger kids and toddlers. It’s colorful, thoughtfully designed, and has a lot of fun play structures. It’s engaging, fun, and the best part is the splash pad—perfect for cooling off and having a great time! Just a heads-up: if you or your little one aren’t planning to get wet, keep a bit of distance or bring a change of clothes so your kiddo can splash away without worry. One thing I did want to mention though: there are some sign and donor boards placed around the play area, and a few of them have sharp or pointy corners—not exactly ideal in a space meant for little ones. It felt a bit out of place in an otherwise well-designed and safe environment. Just something to watch out for if you’ve got a curious toddler who touches everything (like mine!). As for parking, there are two lots: one smaller lot right next to the playground, and a larger lot on the opposite side of the park. On regular days, parking is difficult yet manageable, but during weekends or summer events—like the free outdoor movie nights—both lots fill up fast, and it can be almost impossible to find a spot. I’d definitely recommend arriving early if you’re planning to attend one of the park’s seasonal events. All in all, it’s a wonderful spot for families—just hoping they revisit some of those design details to make it even safer and more accessible during busy times

Bellevue Downtown Park is a fantastic urban green space that's perfectly situated for a day of shopping and relaxation. Its location right next to Bellevue Square makes it incredibly convenient to grab food and drinks for a quick picnic on the go. The park's large central lawn is a great spot for various activities, and the scenic waterfall and reflecting pond add to the peaceful atmosphere. It’s a huge area, so parents can easily keep an eye on their children playing on the grass while they enjoy a snack and the beautiful surroundings. For families with kids, the park also has a designated playground area that's perfect for letting children burn off some energy. Just be mindful of the grass, as some areas may contain dog waste. All in all, it's a wonderful park that provides a serene escape right in the heart of the city.

A nice, but somewhat boring park. There's little stream with ducks, a path around the park, and a big open field where you can play sports or just hang out. There is also a cool tree structure and flowers in the northeast corner. However, the public bathrooms are very unpleasant due to the smell and cleanliness

Great place for a walk/jog! Parking can be rough on sunny days, but it's a really large and clean gathering space. Probably the most tweaks I've seen here at once is 2. Feels really safe here. Well maintained by the parks department. And lots of ducks!

Beautiful place to walk around, have a picnic, relax for a while. The parking is a nightmare sometimes and the spaces are super tiny (not big enough to open your doors without potentially hitting the other cars). Besides that, the fountain is beautiful. The park is very clean. It’s a nice place to watch the sunset and enjoy time with others.

Such a beautiful park. We went this past Saturday and it was filled with families & activity. Parking lot for the park is small and it was a mess trying to go in & find parking. I recommend finding parking on the street or nearby, and walking to the park.

Lovely park. Lots of people walking their dogs, lots of people playing volleyball, badminton , frisbee. Someone was playing live saxophone music. Ducks in the water. Overall nice atmosphere to enjoy the evening.

The entire experience was incredible! The vibe and atmosphere are pure energy and super hip. The dumplings we’re delicious, as were the noodles, the soup, and the green beans. I could go on and on. I didn’t wanna wait for an hour, so I just grabbed a seat at the bar. The service was spectacular. Their customer service is over the top perfect perfection. I can’t wait till they open the one in Scottsdale.

This place is a real gem for Asian food lovers. The selection is fantastic, with plenty of options to try, and what I love most is that no matter how much you eat, you never feel overly heavy or bloated. Lots of vegetarian choices! Fried beans was good. The ambience is excellent—they’ve completely renovated the space with thoughtful seating arrangements and warm, inviting lighting. It feels modern yet comfortable, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. Service is top-notch as well—attentive, quick, and always with a smile. With such a wide variety of choices, it’s definitely a spot you’ll want to come back to again and again.

Din Tai Fung has always been one of my favorite restaurants. I first tried it over ten years ago, and during this trip back to Seattle, I was happy to find that the quality is just as good as it was back then. The dishes came out quickly. My favorite is the spicy wontons (with fresh pork and shrimp) — they’re flavorful with just the right hint of sweetness. I also love the braised beef noodle soup — the beef is tender and in large chunks, and the broth is rich and hearty. These two are my top picks. However, the service still needs improvement. The server brought dishes over my child’s head, which was quite dangerous. In addition, our server only took our order and didn’t provide any other service — our water was never refilled.

TLDR; Never had a less than great experience here. One of the best Asian restaurants (especially if you’re vegetarian!) We had reservations and so got a table almost right away. To be honest, the waits at Din Tai Fung are so long that I never go without a reservation. We ordered the pork xiao long bao, the vegan buns, vegan spicy wontons, noodles in sesame sauce and the chocolate buns between the two of us. I can’t say anything that hasn’t been said before - the flavors are absolutely amazing, everything felt warm and hearty. The spicy wontons are my all time favorite and the left over sauce from it makes such a good dip for the vegan buns (which can feel a bit plain). The chocolate buns feel so rich without feeling heavy - almost like an Asian version of chocolate lava cake but somehow better? Service here has always been nice - the hosts are always pleasant, the waiters are always helpful and kind.

Din Tai Fung in Bellevue is always a fantastic experience. The food is incredibly consistent with their locations around the world, and everything tastes fresh and expertly prepared. The soup dumplings are perfectly delicate with rich, flavorful broth, and the sautéed green beans are some of the best you’ll find anywhere—simple, crisp, and unbelievably tasty. Service is efficient, the atmosphere is clean and lively, and the whole meal feels reliably great every time. Highly recommend!

Amazing soup dumplings I prefer pork and kids prefer the chicken. Really can’t go wrong! Vegetable noodles from the wok are wonderful love the thickness of the noodles. Garlicky green beans are so good. My kids don’t like green beans and they love these. Not a fan of the spicy wonton flavor, but just personal preference. Chocolate filled mochi dessert is so decadent and rich. I always get some to go and reheat well!! Great service and food comes out family style and it just keeps coming. Love the darker ambiance but the tables are lit well.

Despite the restaurant being absolutely packed and a 45-minute wait, it was completely worth it! Our server, Azaan, was amazing, he greeted us with a big smile, checked on us throughout our meal, and made the experience so pleasant. Such a cheerful and helpful person! The food was outstanding the soup dumplings and spicy noodles were both delicious. The service and atmosphere made it all worthwhile. We’ll definitely visit again next time we’re in Seattle and will recommend Din Tai Fung to our friends and family!

Food was ok. I might come back for steak but definitely not the fish… I wasn’t impressed Complimentary bread: 5/10; too sour. Over baked, outside was as crispy as croutons Spinach pecan salad: 8/10; pretty good. Rib eye steak: 9/10, quite good. 16oz was more than enough for one person Halibut: 4/10, too sweet. Everything on the plate was sweet. I wanted a savory dish… Had to force myself to finish at least the fish since the plate was $70

I’ve eaten at nearly every “fine dining” steakhouse in the greater Seattle area…this filet steak flight was hands down the best steak I’ve eaten. Perfect temperature, perfect flavor. Ended dinner with the chocolate decadent cake and house made PB pie ice cream…I was in heaven. Kara was kind and attentive. There are better dining “experiences” as far as decor/vibes/chef selection type menus, but, what you are coming here for, everything was perfect.

Went here to celebrate mom’s birthday and thought it was a great way to celebrate her since the service was great and the food tasted incredible! Ordered the ribeye steak and it was very juicy and tender. For appetizer, ordered a lobster bisque, which was very creamy. The chocolate cake dessert was by far my favorite! A bit sweet, but it was a great cake with great chocolate flavor. The setting is also very aesthetic. It is on the pricier end, but if you buy the gift cards at Costco, you can save some money.

This place is phenomenally amazing. I just moved to Washington from Texas and during my move, I ordered takeout from here and vowed to come and have dinner here. The view from the lounge is breathtakingly fantastic and you can actually see the Space Needle where I was sitting. Since it was the middle of July and it was absolutely dead, I enjoyed the freedom of no wait and not making a reservation. This was THE BEST Martini I've ever had in my entire life, and that says alot coming from someone who's always skeptical. Payton; Please ask to sit in this cute and sweet little lady's section, she's the one with the adorable pigtails. 💖😊👏👍

I went here for my birthday and I have to say that this place really hold up to their reputation of having the best steak in town. I got the steak platter with wagyu and it was the most tender, and flavorful steak I’ve had in a while. Everyone in our table enjoyed their meal. It was a plus that everyone was so pleasant and accommodating. I continue to recommend this place and looking forward to dine here again in the near future.

Starts slow with chain restaurant caliber appetizers, rises to a crescendo with succulent, well-flavored steaks and finishes high with some truly memorable desserts. Seating is a bit odd given restaurant layout, but there are some nice views of the lake and service is talkative and brisk

Great place for celebrating anniversary. Beautiful view to Lake Washington and sunset. The pianist plays beautiful songs in bar area and there are stools around the piano that you can sit and enjoy.🥰🥰

Great service during happy hour. The server took great care of us. The food was excellent, just like all other 13 Coins restaurants. The food was served very quickly also. Great experience!

Amazing Monte Cristo and their Hashbrowns are crunchy on top and cooked to perfection! Service by Yazmin was awesome and the atmosphere is so cool and hip. We sat at the counter top and watched them cook in these big high-back leather chairs, so fun!

13 Coins is a place full of memories for me. When I was younger, I often drank late at night and this was one of the 24-hour restaurants I used to go to most frequently. I’m sure many people can relate. The food is pretty good, and it’s a great spot to share old memories with friends. Truly a nostalgic place!

I’ve always had phenomenal experience @ 13 Coins and now here in Bellevue. Been wanting to go but its infamy walks in before you do. Anyway, here we are albeit on Mother’s Day! EVERYONE, from hosts, Trent & Shima to back of the house staff are PHENOMENAL! I was skeptical because of its 3 star rating but I knew I had to try for myself and SO glad i did!!! Jane was stellar! She was on point and the epitome of a true hospitality staff! Class act! I can say this with the rest of the staff as aforementioned above. Do not forget, Marty! Late-night & mid-day legends only! If you haven’t ended up at 13 Coins at 2 a.m. in a booth that feels like a mafia confessional, are you even really from here? Retro vibes, high drama seats, and a menu that says “yes” to breakfast at midnight and fettuccine at dawn. It’s equal parts glam, grease, and glorious overindulgence. The portions? Pastably too much. The vibe? Eggstra. The waiters? Dressed like they’re catering the Rat Pack’s reunion tour. Sure, it’s iconic. Sure, it’s a little infamous. But if loving lobster mac at 3 a.m. is wrong, we don’t wanna be right. Come for the steak, stay for the stories. #13Coins #SeattleEats #LateNightLegends #GlitzAndGrits #GreasySpoonGlam

Standard American fine dining meets expectations. Their dish Steak David evokes a character from the bible and wonderment which part of himself David sacrificed for the steak. I usually choose filet mignon medium rare, but this dish comes only medium, and though it's tender, it lacks the beefy aroma and taste a hot grill sears into steak. The steak, sautéed spinach, housemade hollandaise, and spaghetti arrived perfectly. Portioning the spaghetti by filling then inverting a bowl guarantees consistent portions, but it looks like a goofy upside-down bowl of spaghetti. No matter, it tastes fine. The stained oak paneling looks classic, but the maître'd set the house lights too dim. Other reviews also complain. Our ten-top needed more diode lanterns. My major objection to affairs here lays in the ill-gotten lands under Bellevue Place, Bellevue Square, and properties Miller Freeman won after he lobbied for Executive Order 9066 in 1942 to force ethnic Japanese Bellevue farmers off their land and into concentration camps. The restaurant validates up to 3 hours of parking in the garage under Bellevue Place, but gates open and allow free exit after 8pm anyway.

I like the fact that the eggs Benedict sauce didn’t overly soak the bread and the serving size was just right. The service, specifically our server, was upbeat, friendly, and brought kids size orange juice without asking. It’s easy to drive by this place and miss it as it’s a bit tucked away from the rest of the restaurants. There was no wait time even though we walked in.

incredible service from the moment we stepped in, particularly from the manager nhan nguyen. he is so welcoming & friendly! the food surprised both me & my friend - we loved the crispy brussels sprouts & seared ahi tuna. the service was warm & hospitable, especially from our server kevin !! we will definitely be back :-)

Dinner with visiting family from Midwest who were excited to taste fresh seafood from pacific northwest in a casual setting. Very friendly service, great wine and cocktail selections. Crab cakes were delicious and not too bready. Beets salad, lobster roll, grilled sword fish were all very well prepared. If you are looking for a quality seafood restaurant with variety to accommodate different preferences, Water Grill is a solid choice in the heart of Bellevue without crossing the bridge to Seattle.

Yeah it's expensive but you get what you pay for. Great service. Drinks were well made. Food was really good. Oysters are fresh. Ciopino was really good! Sea bass and salmon was delicious. Crab cakes were a little bland but everything else was on point. Highly recommend.

We LOVED this establishment!! The service was impeccable, and the food was fresh and very well prepared. Compliments to the kitchen staff amd servers for their ability to wow us with every coarse and every item we ordered. I was amazed by how fresh the crab and oysters were and how well prepared the Filet Mignon was. It was all cooked perfectly and presented in a way that made my partner, and I very happy. Was quite an adventure to say the least. Highly recommend this place to all who want to enjoy themselves and have a nice time together.

Lovely atmosphere and service for a cool out-of-town date night. I thought I had to dress up, but turns out my shacket and a T-shirt worked just fine. Also, free parking on the weekdays at the mall close by is perfect! Avoid the awkwardness of asking for validation. For the oyster I had - so fresh and hit the spot! For both of the fish entrees, so flavorful! The way how the chef could make everything in the dishes complimenting each other so well and still let the fish be the star of the dish is next level! If I’m ever in Bellevue again, I’ll definitely go back. As a tourist, I felt safe in the area at 10pm walking back to my car.

Highly recommend Water Grill if you love seafood! Our favorite dish is their grilled octopus but anything on their menu is great! Definitely try their oysters and scallops in the shell! Service is always great!

Food was fresh and really good. Lobster roll could have used more seasoning but that more of a personal choice. Sushi was excellent. Service was excellent. Never had to ask for anything.

Water Grill Bellevue delivers an exceptional seafood and steakhouse experience that’s hard to beat. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance struck the perfect balance between upscale and welcoming. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly crisp with just the right amount of seasoning — a fantastic opener. The grilled octopus followed and was a true standout: tender, flavorful, and beautifully charred, served with a touch of Mediterranean flair that elevated every bite. For mains, the filet mignon was simply divine — expertly cooked to a perfect medium-rare with a buttery texture that melted in the mouth. But seafood lovers are in for a treat too: the black cod soba was silky and rich, paired with noodles in a broth that was both comforting and complex. It was a brilliant fusion of flavors. To top it all off, the Dungeness crab was fresh, sweet, and meaty — served in a way that lets the natural flavor of the crab shine through. Absolutely worth it. Water Grill Bellevue is a place where you can expect high-quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and an experience that makes you want to return. Highly recommended!

🥗 Food: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👉🏻 I ordered the Cajun Jambalaya Pasta and a chicken salad, and both were fantastic! The pasta was flavorful with just the right amount of spice, and the chicken salad that coming with sesame sauce was fresh, hearty, and satisfying. The portions are huge, so come hungry! And of course, the cheesecake is a total calorie bomb—but it’s worth every bite. 🍝🥗🍰 💁🏼 Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👉🏻 Our waitress, Perla, was so nice and attentive. She made great recommendations and checked in just the right amount to make sure everything was perfect. Her friendliness really added to the experience. 🙌🏼 🍽️ Environment: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👉🏻 The restaurant is lively, welcoming, and perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. The vibe is fun, and despite being busy, everything felt well-organized. 🎉

I loved it. The menu is huge, so everyone can find their favorite to choose from. I went with Americana burger and original cheesecake. The portion size is big, but I wouldn't say it's that big. The burger was excellent, perfect combination of flavors, juicy and very filling. Fries were also perfect but were not seasoned. The original cheesecake was good, but not the best I tried. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will be coming back for sure.

With a large group the wait time on a Sunday was reasonable however when we got there it was potentially one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a cheese cake factory. The server was fine but messed up our order (they have so many Mac and cheese items I get it) so I can’t fault them. We felt bad about the miscommunication but that was short lived as we came across more and more problems. We didn’t have napkins and after like 20 mins we asked for some and got paper napkins instead of the linen ones like usual. Our bread wasn’t warm and the butter wasn’t soft either. The platting was sloppy on some dishes and other dishes were dry like they were sitting in the heat lamp too long. We got nachos and had them comped and replaced because they were stale and burnt chips but the replacement was just more stale chips. We got our Mac and cheese bites and they were burnt(lighting is dark on photos but the taste was burnt and with flash you can tell). We waited a really long time for stuffed mushrooms (yes I know they can take long but this was LONG) so we ended up cancelling the order and getting our bill. For the prices of everything and the location I was expecting more especially from this franchise because my friends and I generally haven’t been disappointed. We drove too far for this.

This was my first time at a Cheesecake Factory and I was not disappointed. The food was excellent. Our server was wonderful. The atmosphere was pleasant. Only negative thing was even though we made a reservation we still had to wait for about 25 mins to be seated. If you bring a stroller, keep in mind they make you park it up front. The cheesecake slices are the perfect size. The bread they bring you is yum 😋. Those baked macaroni cheese balls...wow! Look forward to my next visit!

Came here with friends for a snack after lunch and we were craving cheesecake so this fit the bill. We all ordered a cheesecake and my wife and I shared the Peach Perfect with Raspberry Drizzle. Why don't we have good cheesecake in Canada? Anyways the server was super friendly and was very accommodating to our request even though we just had cheesecake and drinks. Will definitely be coming back here in the future.

Ordered delivery and the order came exactly as requested, which was nice. The Classic Burger was decent - nothing amazing but solid. Fries were a bit disappointing though, not as crispy as I'd hoped. Overall it was your typical Cheesecake Factory experience - huge portions and reliable food. Service through delivery was smooth and everything arrived hot.

Food is always great, never any problems. I like their pasta dishes. You can't go wrong with the bread! The stuffed mushrooms are mind blowing! No wait this time, which was a plus!!

Lovely atmosphere, perfect for both date nights and large groups. The service was excellent overall. We ordered the prawns with tomato primavera, which was decent but not particularly memorable. The pasta dishes were also just okay,nothing standout. One issue was that our server didn’t ask if we wanted small or large portions and defaulted to large, which we couldn’t finish and had to take to-go. That aside, the staff was attentive, and they may even offer a complimentary dessert for special occasions, which was a nice touch.

Carmine's is my favorite Italian restaurant. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the service is friendly and attentive. We go there often. Their pasta is absolutely amazing perfectly cooked with rich, flavorful sauces and generous portions. The downside is that parking can be a bit difficult, so it's best to arrive early. Highly recommended!

Lovely Italian restaurant with a cozy and lively atmosphere. The portions are generous and the service is excellent — they kept refilling our water and often checked if we needed anything or had any questions. The shrimp fettuccine was flavorful, the soup was quite good, and the latte was a bit strong. We sat by the window with a nice view. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience!

The most amazing part of our visit to Carmine was definitely the ambience.. warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed date night. Parking was convenient and validated, which made things even easier. The food was fantastic. I ordered the dish of the day, which was halibut, and it was cooked to perfection. As a tiramisu lover, I had high hopes for dessert and it did not disappoint. Drinks were great too, well-balanced and refreshing. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would absolutely recommend it!

Visiting in bellvue from Canada and heard wonderful things about Carmines. It was last minute so we called and the wonderful hostess was able to get us a reservation for the evening. We arrived at our reserved time and was seated on the beautiful outdoor patio. We also advised the server that we were celebrating multiple birthdays and a cute birthday card was set up at our table. The start of the evening was great, from the service, ordering wine and receiving our appetizers very quickly. Unfortunately things went downhill after we noticed multiple tables that were sat after us receiving their appetizers, entrees and desserts while we were still waiting for our entree. After an hour our waiter came by and we asked what the delay was, he checked on with the kitchen and said our meals would be out shortly and that the manager was also aware. Our food arrived 5 mins after I advised the waiter that we had other plans for the evening and needed to head out soon. The food was okay, the halibut was cooked beautifully but the risotto was under cooked and hard. Calamari and rigatoni bolegngese were delicious. After all this our waiter brought out 1 piece of tirimasu with 2 candles for 2 birthdays. While we appreciated the sweet treat and didnt expect free dessert, we do wish there was more thought into that after waiting so long for our food. We wished we spoke to the manager about our experience before leaving as we dont feel that service was up to par to the reviews for this restaurant. I would return in the future hoping for a better experience. The ambiance, atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is great.

I used to frequent this spot when I lived in the Seattle area. Since I was back in town I decided to have my birthday dinner here. The entire restaurant looks very fancy and they have a good sized patio thats beautifully decorated. Its a great place to celebrate special occasions. The food here always hits the spot. My friend swears by the Gnocchi Sorrentina with the Brown Butter and Sage sauce. The sauce isnt overpowering, but when eaten as leftovers the gnocchi tastes even better after soaking up the sauce. On this visit I ordered the Costolette D'Agnello Provinciale (Rack of Lamb). The sauce was good, but Ive had better lamb chops at other restaurants. It lacked flavor and was kind of tough. Probably wouldnt order it again. We also ordered the Charcuterie & Formaggi as a starter and Cannelloni for an entree. Both were delicious. Also loved that the server brought out a birthday Tiramisu for me with our Italian Meringue.

Celebrated my SIL’s birthday here and it was an amazing experience! Our server was able to customize vegetarian entrees for us and they were delicious. Highly recommend the Zuppa Di Cavolo soup. Tiramisu was also delicious😋 We sat in the patio and it was beautiful. Will definitely be returning

Pretty nice mall with lots of parking. The shops are kind of a random assortment. There's plenty of public seating which I appreciate. There's no real food court but there are a handful of fast-food and sit-down options.

The store was filled with shoppers but no problem getting down the aisles. Though I would like the few shoppers to leave their carts at end of aisles, not blocking the aisles. Common courtesy. I purchased art supplies for a gift. Overall a great place to shop.

Got my haircut today by Consuela at Standing on Top Barbershop. I’m always enjoy my time in the chair. I get to catch up with Consuela, laugh at her life stories and leave with my hair looking fly!

Perfect place for Shop-n-Dine

Very nice shopping center! So many stores and food places to choose from. Extremely clean and great environment! Fun little photo props too!

I walked to the Factoria Market last week It's picking up due to the newer stores and great food! Factoria still has a way to go, Can't wait to see growth!! Let's fill up the mall with cool people, pets, kids & grandma. 😊

Nice mall with good instructor and cleanings...

Decent park with a pretty good view of the water. Only rating it 3 stars because we weren’t allowed to go in to a certain part of the water and the part we could go in, was very small and crowded with children. The life guard was aggressive and rude when warning us. Another lady was also targeted because she was not allowed to bring her dog on the grass area??? Which makes no sense because other beaches and parks allowed dogs and people to go in all areas of the water! We probably won’t be back :)

This park has convenient beach access, and nice view of the lake. It also has a big grass lawn that allows kids running around.

What a nice community park and swim spot! Nice green grass, flowers, and plants around the park. There's a small beach, birds, stunning views from the pier of the gorgeous water with boats going by. There are signs showing which fish can be caught from the pier. Dogs & pets are not welcome June 1 - September 15 so there were many dogs there today. This is a free swim spot but not today, Sept. 20. There are spots for 3 lifeguards. You can enter the water via a beach or there are 4 spots that you can walk down steps. into the water. There are free life jackets for you to use and return, I love that! There are restrooms, picnic tables, benches, a covered area that can be reserved, room for kids to play on the. grass plus play equipment. What a great park!

Absolutely beautiful park right by the water with plenty of picnic tables throughout and a big green lawn. There also a playground and a nice beach area for the kids

Peaceful park, and generally windy at night. Good for big gatherings and picnics. Quite enough parking spots all the time.

Well maintained beach park cum Pier cum picnic cum children play area Best during sunset & sunrise

I recently visited Newcastle Beach Park with my family, including my 5-year-old child, and we had a fantastic time. The park is well-maintained and clean, with plenty of amenities with reserved area for visitors parties. We particularly enjoyed the playground, which had a great selection of equipment that was suitable for kids of all ages. My child had a blast playing on the swings, slides, and climbing structures, and we appreciated that there was plenty of shade to keep us cool on a hot day. The beach itself was also lovely, with soft sand and clean water. We enjoyed playing in the waves and building sandcastles, and there were plenty of benches and picnic tables available for us to relax and enjoy the scenery. Overall, I highly recommend Newcastle Beach Park for families with young children. It's a great place to spend a day, with plenty of activities to keep kids entertained and a beautiful beach to enjoy. We'll definitely be back!"

Robinswood Park is a hidden gem! This park offers something for everyone, from lighted sports fields to beautiful walking trails, a pond, and playgrounds. Dog owners love the off-leash areas, and families enjoy the picnic spots. It's perfect for all ages and abilities.

This park was mostly clean, and very shady. It has plenty of spaces to explore and play. It was a fun experience. The pond was beautiful. It had waterfowl and fish. All of the equipment was fun and dynamic. All ages can play safely at this park.

Today we were at the main off leash dog park. My two dogs had a fantastic time and burned some energy, which was a big plus for me. You can usually find a ball or two laying around, and there is freshwater available for them as well. After they burn a little energy it's fun to take them on a least walk on the several Trails throughout the park.

Park has everything for kids, from toddlers to teenagers. Soccer, baseball fields, door park and tennis center nearby. Small and beautiful pond in the center of the park

Beautiful day nice breeze This was a perfect day to go to the park Robinswood is clean and well spaced out The pond is full of life!

An absolute gem - one of our favorite parks. From the multiple playgrounds to the turf fields to the natural area, trails, and pond - lots to do and enjoy. Always busy but never crowded. Recommend! Ages 1+ will have a good time

Clean field. Always busy. I think they're multiple teams using the field, but there's pickup soccer as well

The Bellevue Botanical Garden is a beautiful park filled with great plants and flowers. I particularly enjoyed the serene Japanese Garden, with its simple wooden structures. Even though there's a parking lot in the middle of the park, I opted to take the bus, which worked out perfectly. It was easy to get there after a stop at nearby supermarkets like Target and Trader Joe's. One of the best things about this park is its location. It's right next to downtown Bellevue, so you can easily walk to Bellevue Square to do some shopping after a relaxing time in the garden. The garden is quite large, and I didn't get a chance to see the entire east side. I only made it as far as the central parking lot before I decided to head back. There are many beautiful flowers and small, traditional buildings scattered throughout the park. The trails are well-marked, so you won't get lost. I especially recommend the Yao Garden, a small, tranquil space with a pond, and the maple leaf area, which would be stunning with red leaves in the autumn.

Visiting the Bellevue Botanical Garden felt like stepping into a hidden pocket of peace in the middle of the weekend rush. The best part? It’s completely free to enter. Parking can be a bit tricky—I went on a weekend and felt lucky snagging a very tight spot—but once you’re inside, it’s worth it. At noon, they offer free guided tours where volunteers walk you through the paths and share stories about the garden’s plants and history. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the sound of a waterfall feature, setting the tone for the calmness ahead. Maps and brochures are available at the entrance, which makes it easy to wander without getting lost. Every corner has something blooming, but the showstopper for me was a giant red hibiscus—so large I had to stop and just take it in. Families strolled by with kids, enjoying the open space and time together, while others found quiet spots to reflect or take photos. For me, it was more than just looking at flowers; it was a place to slow down, think, and appreciate the little meaningful things life has to offer. I haven’t seen all of the garden yet, so I’ll definitely be back to explore more.

Such a beautiful and peaceful escape right in the heart of Bellevue! The gardens are perfectly maintained with vibrant flowers, lush greenery, and lovely walking trails. It’s a great place to unwind, take photos, or enjoy a quiet stroll surrounded by nature. The suspension bridge and seasonal blooms are must-sees! Free entry and parking make it even better. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone needing a nature break. 🌿🌸

This botanic garden has several different types of gardens. You can enjoy seasonal flowers, local plants, beautiful trees and little birds. There’s a cafe, benches you can sit down and rest. Also there’s clean bathroom and a lovely souvenir shop, plenty of parking space. Admission free.

Visited back in May of 2025 while waiting for our hotel room to open up. This is a fabulous place to spend some quality time if you like nature and plants and just being outdoors. We got there in the earlier morning hours as we wanted to be able to park, because I hear that parking can be tight during peak hours. The stroll around the garden was amazing and the place was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, our feet were getting tired so we turned back, otherwise, I could have stayed here for hours and hours. Free parking, donation at the door. Spectacular place! Will totally return in the future. Very nice grounds people and staff as well.

Easily walkable and beautifully landscaped, this Botanical Garden will surely give peace and joy. Walk through the winding paths, cross little streams, photograph flowers drooping under their own weight! Its gorgeous!

Beautiful place. No better way to clear your head than a walk through redwood trees. And just 10 minutes from downtown! There are benches and nested spaces all around. And a tiny bit of bird activity though I wasn't there at peak birding hour.

Came to Factoria mall full free parking 🅿️ good 👍 area atmosphere is nice and clean love the food 🥘 I order to go chicken teriyaki and beef 🥩 chow main at the time to pay I to sit and dine in and when I ask for a bag they told me it cost 8 cents for a bag the issue is not about the 8 cents the issue is I have leftovers in a to go box and they supposed me to give me a bag when I ask her for a bag she refuse to give me !!! And I ask her WHEN CUSTOMERS COME ORDER FOR TO GO U DONT GIVE A PLASTIC BAG ? She lie to me and she says she does not provide a bag for customer I’m really in shock 😳

Finn and Sara were delightful, they are always working and serving me and the rest of the guest with a wonderful smile on their face. Their professionalism and high customer service skills make coming out to Panda a fun trip for me 🙂‍↕️! My food is always cooked perfectly as well as served in big portions!!!!!!! Recommend everyone and their momma to eat here fr, no 🧢

Everything is good. Beautiful friendly service behind the counter from the casheirs. Delicious food. Very good reasonable prices. Lots of good selection of Chinese food .

So, casually forgetting forks or chopsticks on DoorDash orders? I’m staying in a hotel, so like… y’all really added a barrier just to eat the food I ordered 😒. Food was good though.

Poor customer service and super skimpy on their "premium shrimp" bowl we got a T-Mobile deal and ordered online for pickup, the staff didn't greet us and when we did get greeted they then ignored us and served multiple customers behind us while our food sat on the counter. When we got our food and opened it there were 4 shrimp and very little rice in the bowl, these cost 9$ normally and there's 4 shrimp? That's kinda outrageous. Not only very expensive for the amount you get but also the shrimp was cold. I would not recommend anyone to come here. Only good thing about this place is the lighting and seating.

I bought orange chicken and chow mei , and I double checked I pressed the ORIGINAL orange chicken. Doordasher brings it I start eating, throat becomes itchy burning and I see dark spots on my food... Like chilli on it. Im surprised that no one pays attention to this significant difference. Now what if a child ate it or an elderly person? That's very dangerous.

Exceptional work by Susana, she recommended me her favorite dishes and now they are my favorite dishes too, her treatment was wonderful, I am very grateful

The current 4+ star score is deceiving, there is no reason for this to be above a 3 at best. First off the server was cold and robotic, wouldn't look us in the eye and just threw us our check like 5 minutes after we started eating. We just assumed he's having a rough morning... But then we looked over and saw him smiling and laughing with other customers, which made us feel unwelcome. We thought "whatever, at least the food should be good with this high review score!" Sadly this was also not true, as my Eggs Benedict was tasteless even with copious salt and pepper. If it was cheap I wouldn't mind, but at nearly $20 it better have some flavor. I couldn't help but compare it to the DELICIOUS Pork Belly Eggs Benedict down near my work at the "West Hill Deli". They're $13 there and PACKED with flavor. My fiancé's "Asian" Chicken Salad was a disgrace to salad, chicken, and Asian culture. You can see in the picture that nearly HALF of the meal was those cheap fried noodles used as filler. The chicken was somehow very dry even though the salad was wet, and the whole thing tasted like a $5 prepackaged grocery store salad kit sold for again, nearly $20. Maybe this used to be better, maybe the reviews are written by only regulars. Either way our experience was massively disappointing, gonna give this one a few years before coming back to check for improvements.

I've been here a few times. It's a classic American diner which are hard to find anymore. The food is average; not amazing, not horrible. If you're a foody, you'll hate it. If you like comfort food and don't care how it looks, you'll be okay with it, which is why I've been here a few times. Staff is a bit odd. They love the regular customers, you'll see them laughing and chatting it up with them, but they seem wary of new faces. They get the job done, but it's a strange vibe.

We had a group of 8 for a Sat brunch. Since we planned the gathering, we arrived early to put in our request. Host was pleasant and said it would be a while, we were fine with it. But just a few moments later a waiter from the bar said he could set us up in there. Since we were early, we asked if that was ok with the host. He was good with it. So we were seated in the bar, about a half hour before our group meet time. After about 5 minutes, and taking our drink order, the waitress decided to rail into me about "holding" a table for so long when they were busy (empty tables in the main dining room). I explained what had occurred at the host stand, but she wouldn't listen nor speak to the waiter who showed us in. She was basically rude and out of line. Wasn't happy about the treatment. That aside, we all received our food in a timely manner, and it was good. Boy, are the pancakes and cinnamon rolls enormous!!!! Beware when you order or a doggie bag is in your future!!!!

It’s a great place to get a small to medium size group of friends together for lunch or dinner and conversation. My group has been 4 to 7 men at different times and they’ve easily accommodated us. The food is very good at a very reasonable price with a wide variety of choices. The service is also quite good although the waiters/waitresses seem to be a little overworked sometimes. Atmosphere is reasonably quiet, casual and friendly, with no televisions or loud music to interfere with conversation. They seem to have a small problem with their ventilation, as the front dining area often smells like smoke and burned toast. The air is better in the back dining area. Although I’ve given them four stars, not five stars, for food, service, and atmosphere, you shouldn’t expect five stars for these prices. I still highly recommend Lil John’s for a casual, friendly and inexpensive lunch or dinner.

Some other food can definitely be mediocre but their breakfast fair is very good and ready very quickly. They make a sincere effort to connect with people, and it creates a welcoming environment. The plastic booths and decor feel a little worn and dated but that's simply reflects their priorities and their commitments to good food and good service. They are not inexpensive, but they are pretty reasonable for being on the Eastside.

An Eastside favorite! It's been there for years, and happily so. Coffee refilled frequently. Waitstaff are friendly and solicitous. The cinnamon rolls are huge and THE best! 😁👍☕️🏆

The food here is absolutely TERRIBLE. I’ve traveled the country and have been to hole in the wall/mom and pop/1 in 100 mile breakfast joints. An I just have to say, the food here competes With jails. The staff are very polite mind you, the atmosphere is throwback and welcoming… But the food leaves so much to be desired. If all you have ever tasted in your life is eggs covered in dirt, or off brand rubbery ham, this may be alright for you. But in my experience, everything I ate was essentially survival food.. It was really REALLY bad, and sure as hell NOT worth the prices they charge. I’d have paid maybe $2.50 for the ham and cheese omelette I got. Instead is was almost $20.. I should have just ate in my truck or just went to the nearest gas station…

Sooooo good!!! Large Japanese grocery store that is very clean, filled with yummy products. They carry some great grab and go - takoyaki, onigri, bento boxes, sashimi, etc. Highly recommend

The staff is friendly, but the products are a bit pricey. The store carries a wide variety of Asian items.

Uwajimaya in Bellevue is an efficient and well-organized store with a clear one-way entrance and exit flow that makes navigating easy. The space is clean and thoughtfully laid out, which adds to the overall shopping experience. You’ll find a wide variety of Asian groceries, snacks, sauces, and specialty items that are hard to come by elsewhere. The fresh produce section is well-stocked, and there’s even a live seafood tank if you’re looking for something ultra-fresh. Everything feels curated and easy to find, without the clutter you sometimes get in similar markets. Whether you’re doing a quick grocery run or exploring new ingredients, it’s a solid spot for Asian goods. JY review

I love shopping here. I usually come for an ingredient for an Asian recipe that I can’t find at other grocery stores and end up finding many fun things to eat. Today I came for tamarind concentrate. They have an excellent selection of Asian and tropical fruits and vegetables. The hot bar has some great deals. I highly recommend the mini combo! We got the honey sesame chicken with vegetable rice. Excellent!

Good produce but their deli/wajis food has been going downhill. First it was their spam musubi. It used to have the musubi sauce glazed on the spam but now they don’t add any sauce on it. Just straight up seared spam. That’s it. Then their teriyaki bowl went downhill recently. They pack it with old chicken that wasn’t glazed with teriyaki sauce. It’s just chicken from another dish (probably from another day) with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce. It tastes awful now and the quantity of chicken is less. And now it’s their cucumber salad. There is a hair in it. I couldn’t even eat it anymore. I don’t know if I can keep getting hot food from here anymore since the quality is going downhill. Very disappointing.

The Bellevue Uwajimaya provided plenty of parking unlike the Seattle store. I’ve always been impressed with their deli selection and grab and go selection. During this visit, in addition to regular grocery purchases, I spent a good 20 minutes looking through every ceramic container and have savored many ramen in Uwajimaya bowls. A staff from the cosmetics department helped me select a lipstick color and recommend a tinted moisturizer. Yes, a come back again grocery store.

I have been coming to this location for many years, and this is my favorite Uwajimaya. Their selection is wide and there is plenty of parking. This visit I purchased Baumkuchen, Plushies & Hello Panda Candy. I highly suggest coming here for all Asian related provisions. Thank you, and God bless Uwajimaya Bellevue!

The atmosphere, the food, the service- all top notch!!! We started with ‘8 days in the desert’ wine- if you like a full bodied red wine this is the one to get. It paired perfectly with our filet mignon. We chose the medium rare “plus” - a bit of pink but not too rare. We enjoyed trying out the different salts that only enhanced the flavors. The meat was expertly cooked and our sides of asparagus and wild mushrooms was a feast for the taste buds! Even the complimentary shrimp appetizer was delicious. Worth every penny. Will definitely go back again!

Saturday night dinner for two. Greeting was good but as we sat down I expected to be given not only a menu but a drink menu as well. I had to ask for it. The only thing that was amazing was the food. We ordered the House Baked Bread,the Filet Mignon Combination, Adams. Twice Baked Potatoes and Lobster Mashed Potatoes which were delicious. The creme brulee was just average. Three alcoholic drinks. With the 20% service charge already added on came to about $463.

Absolutely loved the restaurant. There were 4 of us. I ordered the Sirloin 10 oz steak cooked to Medium Well. It was perfect. We had bread and asparagus and broccoli. I do not recall the name of the wine, but it was recommended by the Sommelier. It came from France, and it was a Cabernet blend. We all enjoyed it very much. My wife had the sesame Cauliflower steak. She said it was the best she has ever had. We also enjoyed the Bananas Foster.

Amazing selection of excellent steaks. We especially enjoyed the small portions of wagu from America, Australia, and Japan which allowed us to try them side by side and experience the delicious differences. Everyone in our party commented on the outstanding food, and experience.

Pretty sure I did a review already. First time left a lasting, pleasant impression. Next few times w/ or w/o guests was just ordinary. This last one, though. We knew it wasn’t going to be packed but surprisingly it was and glad we made reservations +/- 20 minutes into it. Checked-in. Was told to wait, we were +/- 5 minutes early. Told to wait at the bar. Now, we usually would oblige but this whole wait at our bar feels so cliché. Cute, but not when I’m on a mission for a quick bite before takeoff. I came for a table, not a tequila prelude. Fast fwd to being ushered to our table. Now this is how you do a glow-up in guest service! The entire dining room experience felt orchestrated. Every staff: host, server and smile perfectly in tune like a well-rehearsed symphony. Not a single note rushed, just smooth, elevated hospitality all around. Food and service here were a science. We were updated and informed in a timely manner. As soon as our table side service was ready, it was a science. Precision, timing and grace under pressure. We were on a tight schedule but they handled it like a well-oiled lab experiment: table-side service perfectly executed, meal served hot, rest boxed and bagged before we could even glance at the clock. No fluff, no fuss, just flawless choreography from first bite to final bill. Now that’s efficiency served with elegance.

Good food and service. My only annoyance was that I forgot to give them my rewards card for points. 🤦‍♂️ The server that was helping us, was very knowledgeable and helped me pick out a great whiskey to try while I was there. Looking forward to going back again soon.

John Howie Steakhouse stands as a true beacon for steak lovers, offering a refined yet inviting dining experience that combines expert craftsmanship with the finest cuts of meat. The restaurant’s signature dishes elevate the art of steak to new heights, with the filet mignon being an exceptional choice for those who appreciate a perfectly tender, melt-in-your-mouth cut. However, the real allure lies in the restaurant's impressive selection of premium beef. Guests have the unique opportunity to explore a variety of cuts from around the world, including American, Australian, and Japanese Wagyu, each offering distinct flavor profiles and textures that elevate the dining experience to a truly indulgent level. The seven-flavor tenderloin bites are a must-try appetizer, bursting with a harmonious blend of seasonings that complement the rich, juicy beef perfectly. They’re the kind of dish that leaves you craving more. To round out the meal, the house-baked bread is a comforting touch, with the Gruyère cheese-filled rolls standing out as a specialty. Warm, soft, and savory, these rolls are a delightful prelude to the star of the meal and a perfect balance to the bold flavors of the steak. From start to finish, John Howie Steakhouse offers an unparalleled culinary journey. Whether you're savoring a classic cut of filet mignon or exploring the exquisite flavors of Wagyu, every bite reflects the restaurant’s commitment to quality and excellence. With attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s a dining experience that leaves a lasting impression.

I love this place🤩. You can play board games with friends and then have some food. The food is pretty good and the prices are reasonable. 🍗There is a wide selection of board games you can borrow from the counter, and the staff are friendly. The only downside is that parking is difficult because there are not many spaces.🥺

Unique and fun place for a date night or hanging out with friends! We sat in the restaurant area and fortunately were able to borrow a GenX appropriate game (SkipBo). The food was better than I expected based on other reviews and the service was excellent. My only complaints are that the food prices are very high and there’s not a lot of options. Also the acoustics of the restaurant area are terrible and made the noise level of the room seem higher than it should be. Parking is a challenge but we went on a Saturday night and were able to find a spot close by since neighboring businesses were closed. All things considered it was a fun place to go on a rainy fall night and I’d definitely go again.

Dear Mox Bellevue Team, I wanted to share some feedback following our recent visit for my daughter’s birthday celebration. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere — everything was great in that regard. However, I feel it’s important to mention a disappointing interaction with one of the servers so it can be addressed appropriately. One of your staff members, a man with a beard and long dark hair, was noticeably rude to the kids at the table. The group was made up of teenagers, the oldest being 18. During service, he tossed the food onto the table and spoke to them in an aggressive tone, telling them they hadn’t said “please” or “thank you,” even though the kids insist they had. When they tried to apologize, saying they were sorry, he interrupted them and said, “I don’t think you are,” before walking away. As a parent, I was quite uncomfortable with the way my daughter and her friends were spoken to. It’s understandable that staff expect courtesy, but this situation could have been handled with much more professionalism and kindness — especially given that it was a group of young guests celebrating a special occasion. It honestly pains me to leave a one-star review, as the food and ambiance were very good, but the interaction described above unfortunately tarnished the entire experience. I’m sharing this not to complain, but to make sure it’s brought to your attention. We truly like your restaurant and hope to continue visiting, but I’d appreciate knowing that interactions like this aren’t reflective of your usual standard of service. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope it helps ensure future experiences are positive for everyone.

Love the atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive. Bathrooms clean and well stocked with tp, soap, and paper towels. Food is all made fresh (no frozen chicken strips or fish fingers here) and it shows. Drinks were also great.

Love this place! I like it better than the one in Seattle. You can get your own games or get one at a time from the counter for free. The waiting time can get long during the weekends. I had to wait ~1 hour on a Saturday evening for a table inside the restaurant. Great food. I got the Tofu bowl and corn with potatoes. It was delicious. Would 100% recommend.

Such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Grab an open table and go up to the counter to ask for a baked game. If you give them player count and preferences (vs/coop, board/card, etc), staff is super great with giving suggestions as well. Like the concept of being able to order food/drink directly to the table as well. Really appreciate having a space like Mox to spend a rainy afternoon

My group loved coming here to eat and play a social game or two but yesterday we were met with new regulations which will make it impossible to go there again: 1. Your group must wait in the entrance area until ALL members are there before you can be seated. 2. No more individual checks - only a check for the group Too bad.

A fenced in dog park is in this park by the playgrounds! Beautiful gardens and winding steady uphill inclines. The bridge is breathtaking and swings a little bit, but elevates you over a babbling brook . Dogs aren’t allowed in the botanical gardens , no exception. That’s understandable as the many exotic plants/ foliages. Benches dot the trail as signs telling of the birds and area’s landscapes. It’s a walkable trail, uphill with tree roots so rolling aids/ wheelchairs are not easily accessible but can be done. There are real restrooms and plenty of parking 🅿️ and handicapped 🅿️ and access. Picnic tables and playgrounds for big and small kids 🛝 ⚾️and ⚽️🥎fields too.. The smaller trails lead to the residential areas and offer a nice forested walk up small inclines. FYI. The dog loves the smells and meeting new friends. (2 legged and 4)

I love visiting the Bellevue Botanical Garden when I am in town. It's worth the trip from Seattle. Lots of parking, good bathrooms, nice trails, and beautiful flowers in every season.

Clean park. Well maintained. Trail directions were confusing, though.

08/12/23: it is an awesome park with ample parking. The restroom is clean and regularly maintained. I see people wrote good comments about the park’s kids playground. I could not agree more. As an adult, I want to play in all the kid's playgrounds, especially the zip line but there were too many kids at the time I visited 😭. The park itself was developed and built to be connected to the Bellevue Botanical Garden. I see people trailing and running a lot through that trail. I enjoy my time here and would love to be back soon with more updates

This is quite old and one of the most popular parks in Bellevue. For those who do not live in downtown, this was and remains the number one park for walking dogs, playing with children soccer and baseball.

Bellevue boasts an impressive array of parks, but the one near the Bellevue Botanical Garden is among the best. As a long-time resident of this city, I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this hidden gem during one of my routine runs along the garden's trails. The park is serene and immaculately maintained, making it an ideal spot for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I plan to make this space a regular part of my routine.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wilburton Hill Park is a hidden gem! This park has everything we could want for a family day out. The fully fenced dog park is a dream—safe, spacious, and perfect for letting our pup run free. The beautiful walking trails and running track wind through peaceful, scenic areas, making it just as great for a quiet stroll as it is for a good workout. The awesome zipline is a huge hit with the kids (and, let’s be honest, the adults too), and the train-themed play structure is such a fun and unique touch. Every part of this park feels thoughtful and well-maintained. We always leave feeling happy, refreshed, and already planning our next visit. Definitely one of our favorite parks in the area!

REI had been out to go store for our traveling needs, from warm quality clothing, Darn tough socks, ski gears. I feel REI only sells quality merchandise unlike Amazon, with Amazon I fear buying cheap and fake products and get stuck with broken stuff while in the woods, ski mountains or while out of the country. Don’t forget to check out the used item section, some very new items are over 50% off, like our backpack. We also like the semi-annual members sales, we have found many good deals. And we love supporting such a quality store and the great folks that work there 👍👍

Had unpleasant interaction with the registrar Luz today. There was no line at the checkout at all, so instead of wrapping all the way around the rope fence, I simply stepped over and walked to her counter. I said hi, and she rolled her eyes and spoke to me with attitude, telling me “don’t hop” in a really dismissive way. I completely understand if the store prefers customers to walk around the rope. That’s not the issue. The issue is how she said it. There was no reason for the eye-rolling or the tone she used. It came across as rude and unprofessional, and it made the whole interaction feel unnecessarily negative. I hope this can be addressed so customers can be treated with basic respect, even when being reminded of a policy.

A little bit of heaven with a whole lot of anguish- nobody should be allowed to work across the street from their 'candy' store... I absolutely love getting outside in the incredible old growth wildernesses here in the Pacific Northwest and REI is the absolute master at meeting. All of those needs from absolutely incredibly diverse selections of both affordable and top-notch gear to a staff that is always so very knowledgeable and so willing to help. Pretty sure if they started offering snacks, I would move in. I end up making excuses to go in and then end up just browsing and being fascinated with all the incredible gadgets that make my time in the wilderness so much more fulfilling. I'm in love with this store and the Bellevue REI is truly incredible. Love you guys!

Hi, just sharing my own experiences with this company. It has been extremely perfect when it comes with its products and care from the employees, to the point where I have entrusted it with my bike repairs for some time. Since this is the cheapest and most affordable I’ve tolerated some weird behaviors that weren’t deal breakers untill something happened not too long ago. I’m going to be blunt my one star review is not for the ambiance and the product/ shoe selection. It is only for my experiences with the bike section. When someone enters in with a problem they reasonable give a time estimate and a repair cost, but be warned if so happened one of the repair guys deems something needs replacing or fixing they will not warn you ahead of time, they will just do it. This happens to me on multiple occasions blowing past what I thought would be the price I would pay for simple repairs and my budget leaving me stranded say for example if I needed my something else replaced on my bike. Now let’s get set on other key issues…. The employees, I have never in my life experienced being talked down to like I’m a child even though I’ve been coming repeatedly to this location. Granted some of them are really nice there’s this bald guy (I’m so sorry didn’t get your name your cool) that treated me extremely well…. Then there are others. Others who raise there voice at me, dismiss my concerns and flat out talk over me. Weirder interaction occurred recently of how I was pressured extremely for a repair I wasn’t interested in getting but an immediate back pedaling as he said it could still be done later. I got my keys shoved at me and was sent on my way in the most rudest tone imaginable. My mother actually came with me once and she received the same treatment and it broke my heart which is why I came alone for a bit until now, you lost a customer I will never be returning back and to those who need bike repairs I’d wager taking it somewhere else

Hands down to REI store. They very supportive and helpful. Calmly understands your problem and give suggestions. Got the best hiking shoes from here literally changed my hiking experience

Such good service. All of their staff were super friendly and willing to really help us find what we were looking for. Several styles we were interested in were unfortunately out of stock in our size and could not be ordered, but we were impressed with the selection and layout of the store and still spent $400 here. A good and less intimidating store compared to the flagship store in downtown Seattle. REI is one of my favorite stores.

Favorite outdoor equipment store, conveniently located in downtown Bellevue. Not as big as the flagship store in Seattle but it's a fairly complete product assortment and knowledgeable staff to advise you on your purchase. Plenty of parking upstairs as downstairs tends to be full of Traders Joe's customers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Lakehouse is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm, modern, and inviting, and the service is always top-notch. What really stood out to me was how incredibly fast the food comes out—you barely have time to settle in before beautifully plated, delicious dishes are at the table. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, proving that speed doesn’t come at the cost of quality. Whether it’s for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, The Lakehouse delivers every time. Highly recommend!

I won't lie, I don't know why we decided to come here. Our family never likes American food like that and this place only made that opinion stronger. I get that rent is really expensive and so naturally should the price of the food but it was insanely mind opening how much the bill could be. And I know you could say we could've totally walked out the moment we saw that menu but we thought this place could live up to the prices like some other places that do. Anyhow, we made a reservation and my parents tend to run late but we stayed on time this time because we were going to be charged for being late. It's reasonable for a no show but I think if the quality of the food is just going to be like that, and it's not even busy, I thought about it after the dinner and to me, it was just kind of unacceptable. Anyhow, we were seated and if there's one thing spectacular about this place is the interior. My sister got some nice photos and the bar looked really nice. But none of us drink. Then came the ordering, we got a seasonal drink, bread and butter, 8 oz steak, 4 oz tuna sashimi, risotto with chicken, and scallops. Total was $400. My jaw was on the floor. I was in utter disappointment. The drink tasted weird but that was whatever, it was something we wanted to try. The steak. We asked for it well done and it came back medium rare. Still got charged the $150 though. Sides were just mash. The sashimi, such a big plate for what. And the chicken. So dry. Funniest thing is the scallops. It said 3pc on the menu and when it came out of the kitchen with five, our server could not but make an emphasis. He kept on hitting us with the, the chef was really kind to add another 2pc. I was thankful the first time, but I just don't need it to be intentionally reminded that many times. Luckily, some of out stomach was filled with carbs. He was super cool overall though. Was on time with water refills and switching out the utensils when it came time to shift from appetizers to entrees. Wouldn't be back. Felt robbed.

A nice place for breakfast at W Hotel. They don’t have buffet, surprisingly, only a la carte. Not a wide variety but good options for healthy food. The coffee was disappointing. The staff are friendly.

Went for Father’s day breakfast/brunch! Food was pretty good but it did take a while for the food to come out and there were some items (sausage, bacon, etc) that were pretty dry. Our server was nice, overall we had a pretty nice time. Potatoes were my fav they were cooked perfectly

Over the past 3ish years they have updated their menu to focus on quantity over quality. Which really seems out of place to the atmosphere and excellent service. Especially the brunch menu, which looks and tastes like an upscale Denny's. The portions are absurdly large. I want to update my review back to 5 stars which I would have given 3 years ago. Please get back to culinary experiences, focused on smaller portions, and finer dining.

Came here for a girls' night on a friday evening, and the ambiance was perfect. It was empty when we arrived 6pm but filled up as the evening went on. The bonus was free parking because they opened the gates after 8 pm. Cocktails were delicious, but the entrees were disappointing. We got the truffle fries, and the portions size was huge! We also got the Beet Salad and everything, but the beets were good. The beets were extremely overcooked. On the other hand, the handmade pasta tortellini we ordered was unfortunately undercooked and lacked much needed flavor. We also got the short rib that was extremely fatty and came with a strange white paste. However, the hashed carrot was well seasoned and quite delicious. Although the entrees weren't good, I would recommend a visit for the cute ambiance and the drinks.

I usually come here on special occasions like today, when celebrating a friend’s graduation. The food is pretty good if you’re really hungry, but i do wish they had more options because there isn’t much variety ESPECIALLY if you’re someone who is picky and allergic to most things!! They should make it to where customers are able to order off the lunch menu sharing dinner time, to supplement for the lack of options they have. It’s also a little pricey if you’re with 2+ people so be aware. This restaurant has too many seafood options and not a lot of American or Italian food, which is a bit of a bummer. Like I said, I only come here for special occasions, so it’s fair. But it’s also a bummer that they change so many things every time I return. The bread we had today was good, but the bread they had months ago was wayyyyy better and tasted homemade, so we were quite sad about that change. The service however is always very good and top notch here! The “service charge” is unnecessary and made the bill rack up quickly so be aware of that as well!! Atmosphere is a vibe and fancy like, so if you’re into that, this is the place for you. We will be back every once awhile :)

There is no other place to get sushi. Just wow… the tasty quality of the fish, unbeatable happy hour prices, and the timely professional service. The music is perfect, not too loud, and the right energy level. I got the calamari, which was very generously portioned served on a bed of a crunchy palate cleansing salad. I also got the sashimi set which did not disappoint. Highly recommend for dates, business meetings, and anytime you want to impress your dining companions.

Large portions/not the freshest fish: we ordered the calamari appetizer, galbi ribs, and the chirashi bowl. The calamari portion size was large, but it was drenched in a really sweet sauce that was a bit overpowering. The ribs were okay (a bit chewy). I was disappointed in the chirashi bowl. The sashimi was definitely not fresh. There was something in there that was super fishy and I couldn’t finish the bowl. If you go, I recommend you try the non seafood dishes.

Tasty sushi. Reasonable prices. Foods quality is great. Services were amazing. Clean facilities located inside Nordstrom shopping center.

Friendly staff. Food was ok. The fish had a mushy texture and broke apart easily, and the rice was also leaning towards the mushy side. I didn’t enjoy the sunomono; had an off smell, cucumber wasn't crisp, and was served warm.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant. I'm really happy with the wide variety of options they have. I've visited this place multiple times, and everything I've ordered so far has been delicious

On my first night in Seattle, i tried this place’s late night happy hour (9pm to close) i had a chirashi bowl and a yuzus margarita. The fish was extremely fresh which is critical to a dish like this. I did think the pieces themselves were a bit bulky. The dish was well executed i would order it again. The drinks were tasty but a bit on the not strong side. The service was friendly and my food came quickly. What more could you ask for !!

Japonessa Sushi Cocina is a great place. I’ve visited many times with my family, and I always enjoy it. The staff is friendly, the location is convenient, the prices are fair, and the food is always fresh and delicious. The menu has a wide variety of options, which makes it easy to find something for everyone. I’m always happy with my experience there.

The portions are small but the prices are also low. This is to be expected with street tacos! There isn't a lot of variety to the actual taco flavors, only 4 choices. We got a lot of different things but they were all pretty basic. The restaurant is located in a dining hall with a self-serve water jug off to the side. The kids cheese quesadilla is a good size and bigger than the actual tacos!

The pollo and al pastor tacos are great! They are reasonably priced ($3-$4) and about three of them should fill you up. They also have a toppings bar for all the tacos, in which you can add your own salsa or pico de Gallo. Next time I’m trying the elote!

Will gladly pay a lil extra for these tacos. The quality and taste make it worth it everytime. Their coconut water horchata is also the best horchata I've ever had!

Best taco place ever! Don’t miss tender beef cheek and the pork and pinneaple ones. Totally recommended! I’m coming back !!

I ordered two tacos, al pastor and carne asada they were alright but definitely pricy for what it is, it's about 4$ each. The service was quite fast.

Super good al pastor, juicy tender steak. Creative horchata and awesome carolina reaper salsa.

Worst place I've gone to 4 bucks per taco these little things the girl that took my order need to clean her ears or something super rude and had to keep repeating my order and still didn't get it right. 30 bucks. Don't waste your hard working money on a place like this that's what's wrong with the young don't know good service just wants to get u out as quick as possible. Won't come back here

It's chick-fil-a. Solid spicy chicken burger, delightful waffle fries, and a tasty ice tea lemonade. It can get quite busy, especially the drive through. Service is great though. Orders were efficient, and a kind lady there came out to ask us how everything was

Food was always great! Friendly people. Came in with a few people today, I got the chicken nuggs and love the criss-cut fries. Friends for the sandos. The food was amazing! I love their sugar free lemonade.

To the Bellevue Washington location: Chick-fil-A has built its reputation on exceptional service, genuine kindness, and the belief that every guest deserves respect and care. That legacy, however, is only as strong as the people who represent it daily — your staff. In recent experiences, a troubling pattern has emerged: employees who laugh at customers, dismiss their frustrations, or forget that the very reason they have a job is because of the customers standing in those long lines, waiting patiently, paying prices that now nearly rival cooking at home. It’s easy to forget that those faces in line are the heartbeat of the business — that without them, there is no “My pleasure.” Customer service is not simply a script; it’s an ethic. It’s the understanding that every interaction shapes the brand’s identity. A smile, a sincere tone, and the willingness to listen can make the difference between loyalty and disappointment. When employees become indifferent. When laughter replaces empathy or when convenience outweighs care, the entire spirit of Chick-fil-A begins to fade. The call to action is simple: Reinforce the importance of respect, empathy, and awareness in every customer interaction. Remind your teams that hospitality isn’t just what’s said — it’s how it’s felt. A customer waiting 20 minutes or more in line should leave feeling valued, not mocked or disregarded. Chick-fil-A has always stood out because of its people — not just the quality of its food, but the quality of its heart. It would be a loss to see that standard slip away through moments of carelessness.

The portion sizes have gotten so small is a disgrace. I report an issue with my order on the app, and it gave me an automatic coupon for a replacement. Came back a couple days later, and the portion sizes even worse!!!!!

Even for a Chik-fil-a this service was above and beyond good. Just when you think it can't get better, whichever man and woman were working the late shift on October 16th 2025 (I wish I got their names) just took our experience to the next level. Cared about all the details of our order, and were happy explaining and re-explaining things to us. The type of people that when they say "my pleasure", it really feels like they mean it.

Been to this chick fila maybe 6-7 times now…. About 70% of the time the order is screwed up… Chick-fil-A and in n out generally have a very friendly staff and a near perfect service order correct rate…. Nope not this location…. I will now drive 15 minutes extra to go to the Kirkland location. Don’t bother going here if you expect your order to be accurate and ALL of your food to be the same temperature.

I was pretty surprised when I walked over here and found out that it was a drive-through and to-go only, with no sit-down anywhere in the restaurant. Probably should've done more research beforehand I got the Original Chicken Sandwich & 5 count nuggets, with Buffalo sauce. I really like how consistent Chick-fil-A is with their sandwich. I've been to locations on either coast of the US, and it's been basically the same sandwich everywhere. The buns are a little small, but well-toasted and buttered. Importantly, the chicken just has that Chick-fil-A like taste, no matter where you go. I feel like if I were given 10 chicken sandwiches from 10 places, I would be able to tell which one the Chick-fil-A was just from the taste. The sandwich was breaded pretty well, with some decent crunch at points. The inside meat wasn't dry, but it wasn't really juicy either - kind of landing in that middle range where it's just good enough My issues with the Chick-fil-A sandwich are the same here as always - the sandwich is too dry and there's not enough seasoning. I think any kind of sauce would go a long way towards making this sandwich not taste one-note and dry the whole time. I get that you can technically pour the sauce on top of the chicken, but that shouldn't have to be required - it should just come on the sandwich itself Also, there just isn't enough salt, pepper, or other seasonings on the chicken. Popeyes does this much better, in my opinion, which is why I prefer their sandwich The nuggets were pretty good. They're breaded well, and similar to the sandwich patty - it lands in the middle where it's enjoyable, but with the sauce. I do really like their buffalo sauce, however For the price, getting a sandwich & 5 nuggets for just 10 bucks is a pretty cheap lunch. It's generally filling as well Overall, can't go wrong with a Chick-fil-A sandwich, and I really wish they had more locations in the Seattle area. 7.75/10

Tried Ezell’s Famous Chicken recently and had a mixed experience. The chicken strips were quite good—crispy on the outside and juicy inside. However, the fried chicken itself was pretty average in terms of flavor and texture. The fries were a bit of a letdown—lacked crispiness and seasoning. One challenge I faced was with the staff communication. It was a bit difficult to place the order because the staff didn’t seem very comfortable with English, which led to some confusion during the process. Overall, it was an okay experience. Worth trying the chicken strips, but there’s definitely room for improvement in service and sides.

The gizzard is amazing! I love its texture and flavor, especially with the blue cheese dipping sauce, awesome! The chicken is quite salty of the crispy coating, but the meat itself is juicy! The mashed potatoes with gravy are nice! And surprisingly, the pineapple soda from the fountain is really good, beyond my expectations for a regular soda.

Chicken was good, but nothing special. Fries were about the same. Okra was bland, greasy, and not very crispy. Nothing had very much spice. The peach cobbler was very disappointing, I didnt take a second bite. If you have a craving for southern fried chicken and sides, keep looking.

First time trying Ezell’s and I’m impressed! The fried chicken gizzards were crispy, juicy, and full of flavor — definitely a must-try if you’re into Southern-style eats. The okra was delicious too, perfectly fried without being greasy. The rolls were soft and warm, a great touch to the meal. Will definitely be coming back!🫶❤️

I stopped by here to grab a to go chicken tender lunch today. The shop dining area was not busy, but they had many to go orders lined up. I took mine to go as well. It was fresh and hot. I ordered the Chicken tenders and Cole slaw. After paying, I noticed the peach cobbler. I will need to get one of these during my next visit. Overall it was quick and tasty. Recommended.

It's been a while since I had some Ezell's chicken, and I was craving some. The chicken gizzard was amazing and crispy. The famous chicken was a bit too salty this time, the meat was juicy, and the skin crispy. The fries were soft and felt disappointing. Service was excellent, the staff was friendly when we asked some questions. Overall a decent experience, but disappointed in the salty chicken.

The staffs were very friendly and food was good! I always come back to this location because of how clean here is and the quality of food. Sometimes the quality is inconsistent though. This time I came here I ordered chicken gizzard and it was so overcooked I could hardly chew! If they improve on the consistency, this story would be a 6 stars

It’s a nice and upscale restaurant with friendly staff and service. We stopped there for dinner after our bubble planet experience. Food was delicious and decent amount. I only give 4 ⭐️because my son and his dad both said their stomach was a little unsettled after the raw oyster 🦪, but I was fine with everything. Definitely will go back for special occasions as the food is not cheap.

Went here for a work dinner. Friendly staff and good food. They are an expensive seafood place and I rarely find the prices justified unless I’m extremely wowed by the taste. The beet/quinoa salad was good but the beets tasted somewhat off. Their other veggies and the entree were good. I mainly liked their chocolate truffle dessert. The truffles are quite large and very dense. I recommend sharing them with people!

Absolutely delicious food. Most of my party ordered from the 3 course menu and the items did not disappoint. We went in to celebrate my mom's birthday and they brought out her dessert with a candle. Server was super nice too and provided a great service. Their panna cotta, mashed potatoes, and sole were a table favorite. The raw bar sampler platter from the 3 course menu was also a favorite for the fish lovers. Their creme brulee is also creamy and not overly sweet. It's nice that since the parking lot is connected to the building, when it's raining you never have to step outside.

Raffael is the greatest server ever! The atmosphere and staff were great. The dishes I had were a little on the sweet side. It was weird for me to have a sweet crab bisque. I wouldn't say the food was bad, just not to my taste. The lobster roll had a crap ton of lobster on it. I don't feel like the bread did the lobster justice. Drinks were wonderful, fries were delicious. Oysters were good. Good experience. I'd say give it a try. See if it is your taste.

I’m a regular at Seastar and usually dine both at the bar and dinning area. This time around the dining area lacked the vibe. Not sure if it was due to the new servers but it felt like a transactional dining experience. What happen to the old crew ?Friday they need the OG bartender Greg working! Cocktails were not the same without him. Female manager walked around like she was having a really bad day, no smile, sommelier helping with wine was ok not much of a cheery personality, Gretchen our server was nice, she took care of food allergies. Thankfully food quality is the same. King salmon medium well with asparagus and mash was yummy. Enough flavors not over powering. Ahi Tuna and salmon rolls were good, quantity was the right amount. Tuna bites never disappoint. Wish they brought back their Ahi tuna burger on their menu. Overall food experience was great. I do miss the old friendliness vibe that Seastar was known for.

The nectarine and heirloom salad was scrumptious. I had the mahi mahi and it was a taste delight in every bite. Order it if you get the chance. My husband enjoyed his sole. Atmosphere was great. Great service.

Good food, some vegetarian options are available. I came here to celebrate my birthday, free parking is available with validation.

I had high hopes after hearing so many good things about Molly Moon’s, but the flavors didn’t quite hit the mark for me.I found their flavors overly sweet. I tried the “Yeti” (one of their signature flavors) and the seasonal “Peaches & Cream.” Unfortunately, the peach flavor didn’t really come through for me, and the Yeti was way too sweet... On the positive side, I did enjoy their toppings and their cones were really good—probably my favorite part of the visit. Overall though, if you like lighter, less-sweet gelato-style ice creams, this may not be the best match.

One of the only ice cream places I would stand in line 30 minutes for :D It reminds me of my favorite ice cream spot, Ginger’s Divine in LA, because both use high-quality, locally sourced ingredients and have delicious flavor combinations. The seasonal cherry flavors here for July are perfect!

The line is really long, but the ice cream is good and the portion size is great. I got cookie dough and German chocolate cake with marshmallow topping.

Good homemade ice cream huge line around the block even on a Monday night. Ice cream was a little soft for my taste but very good flavors.

Delicious ice cream, been living here for a decade and have never tried this place. Would highly recommend.

Always so nice and welcoming inside! Seasonal flavors are ALWAYS GOOD. There really is something for everyone! Ryann was so sweet and made my sundae beautiful! I will always come back!💛🍦

The ice cream here is very good. The flavours are nice and simple. The location itself was in a nice place and the interior was really nice as well. The staff is also super sweet. My sister got the salted caramel, which was way too salty. However the staff was super sweet about it and let her get a new flavor for free. Besides the salted caramel, we really enjoyed the flavours. I personally loved the honey lavender and cookies and cream ice cream.

Visiting on a Friday afternoon is great! No crowd and easily found parking! Art items are expensive but you can support the local artists!

Nice art museum with rotating exhibitions (check website). Lots of cool and beautiful art and exhibitions, although as others have mentioned this museum is significantly smaller than ex. SAM or MoPOP. (It is also cheaper!) As a general heads up, they no longer do free first Fridays but offer a free 2nd Sunday for students, and discounts on tickets for Bellevue collection. When I went, tickets were $15 for adults/$8 for youth (17 and under). I have never seen a wait or a large crowd (except during artsfair in the summer) so it tends to be a quiet museum. Their exhibits are mainly on the 2nd and 3rd floor. On the 2nd floor there's a cool community art room which is great for kids to make their own art and hang it on the walls. On the 3rd floor there's a small outdoor patio area as well you can access behind two doors.

This is a clean and sophisticated museum that rotates new art every six months. I've found it to be a great place to visit for a calm and expressive experience before heading to one of the great restaurants nearby. I've also had memorable experiences learning from the staff here who are outgoing and knowledgeable.

Love, love, love this museum. Was recently there to install Nicole Gordon’s fantastic show “Altered States” and could not have had a more delightful experience. The staff and docents are great; friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Am returning soon (from Chicago no less) and very much looking forward to my next visit. This museum is a 10 out of 10 all the way round; really interesting exhibits and great staff, what more could you ask for?

I visited the museum with my cousin, we wanted to view the Burning Man exhibition. They had a small collection of gifts handed out on the playa, plus a few portraits of scenes of various moments throughout the time Burning Man has been held at Black Rock. I meandered through some of the other art exhibits which where very cool to see and some even interact with. I had an enjoyable day.

I visited this museum for the first time in the early afternoon on a Friday and was blown away! They had just opened two new exhibits on the top floor that morning so I got to walk around and experience them practically alone, which was lovely. The glass show on the second floor was beautiful and inspiring, and I was moved to tears by Julie Green’s project on the stairwell.

We went there at first Friday in July and it was admission free. It’s nice small museum. We understand that this is not huge museum. We didn’t expect much. They have pretty interesting exhibits. Lovely art. They have a cute little area for children. I think it’s worth it to come visit this museum. Will definitely come here again.

It is a bit small to hold a big crowd for a concert. But the staff is very kind and supportive.

Absolutely! Here’s a heartfelt and polished review for Meydenbauer Bay Park based on your experience: ⸻ A Hidden Gem on the East Side – Breathtaking, Peaceful, and Perfect for All Ages Meydenbauer Bay Park is honestly one of my absolute favorite parks in the entire East Side of Washington. The lakefront views are simply stunning, framed by gorgeous multi-million dollar homes that add to the serene, upscale feel of the area. It’s a family-friendly haven, often filled with friendly ducks, children playing, and people enjoying the water. Whether you’re into paddle boarding, boating, swimming, or just relaxing by the water, the park offers a wide range of activities—complete with clean shower and bathing facilities that make it incredibly convenient. I’ve often imagined hosting a wedding or special event here because the setting is just that beautiful, though I’m not sure if it’s officially allowed. Regardless, this park holds a special place in my heart, and I will definitely be coming back again and again. It’s a true gem that offers both peaceful retreat and vibrant recreation—perfect for all ages.

We've filmed a conference here 4 years in a row now, and Meydenbauer Center is a great place for conferences. The staff here are all amazing and keep the center running very smoothly. And the food has been fantastic, serving breakfast and lunch plus all sorts of snacks during breaks, for all 4 days of the event. There is a great outdoor area for the times when the sun is shining and people need to take a break from the event. Lots of seating. The rooms are set up great for presentations. It's a beautiful venue inside.

Visited Meydenbauer center for the Japan Fair event and Preggo Expo. The center seems streamlined with welcome space upon entry before going into the main room on the right hand side. It is clean, open, and easy to navigate. I wouldn't mind hosting big events here. The only tricky part is the parking. Lucky if you get a street parking. We had to pay $12 for an underground parking and walk about 3 min to the center. The center is walkable from the Bellevue square mall

Northwest Chocolate Festival! It was a very busy day at the Center. Chocolates from all around the world in Bellevue. The lines were a bit long, but went fast. The staff were friendly and available to ask questions. There were several hours of booths regarding Chocolate besides chiropractors, cars, and life insurance. Even some of the attendees were friendly and we compared thoughts oif the tastes of the samples we were trying. The parking was full very quickly, found a spot in Bravern. I would go again if on the Eastside.

World-class location for corporate and commercial events. Conveniently located in downtown Bellevue and easily accessible with the train system. Convenient parking too. Highly recommend for business holding corporate events.

I was an event photographer there. It has some beautiful spots fir all sorts of photography. Aside from that, Alissa and tge rest of the staff were really nice and accommodating. Highly recommend!

This was an absolutely delightful dinner! The Peking duck was beautifully presented with golden crispy skin and tender meat—one of the best I’ve had in Seattle. The eggplant with minced pork and shrimp filling was flavorful, and the Chinese dough fritter added a fun, crispy twist. The Kung Pao Chicken & Prawns had a nice balance of heat and crunch from the cashews. Some of the dishes were a bit oily, but the taste and presentation made up for it. Overall, great food and elegant atmosphere. Would recommend for special occasions or upscale Chinese dining.

Barons Sino Kitchen is a great spot for a meal, especially if you’re looking for a calm atmosphere where you can actually hold a conversation. The food was tasty and well-prepared, and the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed. It’s also a nice setting for business discussions since it’s quieter than many other restaurants in the area. The only reason I didn’t give a full five stars is that while everything was good, nothing stood out as exceptional. Still, it’s a solid choice and I’d gladly return.

The atmosphere is lovely. If you can get the jumbo lazy susan table... do it. 12-top? The drinks are nice. The food is okay. Nothing had a flavor that bew my socks off, but it was good and good company.

In the bustling city, there are always places that turn dining into a ritual. This Chinese restaurant is one of those rare places where you instinctively slow your breath the moment you walk in. There is no noisy background music, no ostentatious decor—just warm wood tones, soft lighting, and quiet, attentive service. The space is elegantly divided into semi-private sections, offering a sense of calm and intimacy. The menu blends traditional Cantonese and Jiangnan flavors with a modern aesthetic, where each dish is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate.

Best Chinese restaurant in town! No matter you’re looking for a place for just casual dining or formal dining, this is a place you want to check out. Their peking duck is the best I have had in the US.🦆 They also have very good dim sum. That’s not all, they even have a full bar!

I had mapo tofu , salted duck which is my husband favorite and wagyu mongolian was amazing .. the service also excellent .. and the price i would say very worth it ..

Regardless of how many times, I have been here. It is over price Chinese food. My coworker said the duck is good, but $80 plus. Back to my noodle dish, veggies stir fly egg noodle, it was not too greasy. $20 for what you see in the picture. 20% gratitude for group over 5 people, the service was good. They refilled water and come and check on us.

My boyfriend and I had a quick errand to do in Bellevue and decided to bring our fur babies with us as it was really hot and we wanted to walk them at the park. Additionally, I know Bellevue has a lot of pet friendly outdoor patios and Fern Thai on Main has been on my bucket list for a few years now so I knew this was the perfect opportunity. When we arrived at the restaurant, it looked like they were doing well and everyone else had the same thought with dining outdoors to enjoy the nice weather or to have someone to go with their fur baby. My boyfriend went inside to talk with a host as there is a sign that says to speak with a host to be seated on their outdoor patio. It took some time as it seems pretty busy but we didn't mind and once the host had time, she immediately grabbed menus and showed us to our table. We ordered a Thai iced tea, Pad See Ew (chicken, 1 star), roast duck curry (5 stars) and a side of jasmine rice. We got the Thai iced tea not too long after ordering and it was just the perfect amount of sweetness. I do feel like they do a huge amount of ice though, and it's already in a smaller glass. I'm slightly disappointed that the outdoor and indoor experiences seem very different. I see the glasses from other reviewers from the inside dining seem much more pleasing while the outdoor seemed like an afterthought. Additionally, our waiter was very awkward and didn't provide much service. He never came to check on us or refill our waters. The presentation of food was very nice for all the dishes, even the rice bowl was gorgeous. My boyfriend gave his pad see ew a 9/10 which is pretty high but he said he wished it had more of the wok hei taste that pad see ew is supposed to have and he personally wasn't a fan of the greens they used. I was happy with my roast duck curry but they don't seem to know how to make things spicy as I asked for a 5 star spicy level but barely felt anything, but I couldn't even mention it to the waiter cause he never came by. I think I would try them out again in the future but there are definitely better Thai restaurants around Bellevue that provides a better dining experience than Fern Thai on Main.

Cute little Thai spot, inside is super adorbs! Loved the ambiance! Came here on a Monday afternoon, we were seated right away & it was pretty empty since we beat the lunchtime rush. There was a sign that states a 90 min limit for groups 6 and below. I am guessing this is because this restaurant is quite small. Soooooooo something to point out because it just has to be said, when we were seated - our table was not balanced so it was quite wobbly. The host took note of this immediately and he had something prepared to fix it. Now that's customer service! Let's hear it for NO WOBBLY TABLES! lol. Okay, I'm done. For my drink I ordered a Thai Iced Tea - yums as usual. For my food, I ordered the Tofu Pad See Ew - 1 star spice - it was good but it tasted a bit burnt. Don't get me wrong, it tasted good - just didn't taste how it usually does - this could be a part of the Fern recipe. Overall, it's a cute lunch spot that I would definitely go to again. I will try their other entrees since I saw they have tofu options for all their entrees (pretty cool!)

Wow – best Thai I’ve ever had! Had a last-minute dinner in Old Town Bellevue and stumbled on Fern Thai — what a find! We lucked out getting a table without a reservation on a Saturday night, so definitely book ahead if you can. The vibe is fun and lively, but the food is the real star. We started with the fresh rolls (I’m picky about those — these were perfect) and that peanut sauce… amazing. The garlic crispy chicken was tender, flavorful, and lightly breaded — just how I like it. The Crying Tiger steak salad was another winner — steak cooked perfectly, super tender. Even the Thai iced tea stood out — balanced and not overly sweet. Cute décor, great energy, fair prices — I’d recommend Fern Thai for any occasion. Can’t wait to go back!

I had a great experience here. The staff were nice and polite — not overly attentive, but just the right balance to make you feel comfortable. The Thai food was delicious, with rich and authentic flavors. Most of the dishes leaned toward the sweeter side, which is quite typical in Thai cuisine and worked really well here. If you’re looking for tasty Thai food in a relaxed setting with good service (without being overbearing), this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

A friend recommended this place and being Thai myself I was very impressed! The atmosphere was great and the food were big portions so you could share everything! I also LOVED that I saw some employees wearing traditional clothing.

This place is super cozy and amazing! The Tom Yum is the best I’ve tried so far in Bellevue. The fried duck in curry sauce is the softest, most tender, and incredibly flavorful — just perfect! The staff is very attentive, polite, and also really nice-looking. Definitely one of my favorite spots now!

Fren Thai is my go-to spot when I want to treat myself. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always amazing. The food is just out of this world. From the pineapple fried rice to the cashew chicken, and the grilled chicken at level 4 spicy, every dish is a win. That spice level will wake you up and put a smile on your face. It’s the kind of place where you sit down, take your first bite, and all your worries disappear. If you’re thinking about spoiling yourself, just do it. If you want to impress your friends or you’re in the mood for a meal that genuinely makes your day better, this is the place. If you’re brave enough for some serious heat, you’ll love it here. My advice is to go for the full experience. You’ll walk out full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

Super chic spot—perfect for a date night or a fun girls' night out! They’ve got some awesome margarita options—we especially loved the spicy one! The ceviche was good, though a bit different from what we were expecting. We also tried the tacos this time, and the fish taco was definitely the standout. A must-try! It's right in Downtown Bellevue, and while the food variety has improved, the menu still feels a bit limited. Prices are on the higher side, too, especially considering the portion sizes—so you might find better value elsewhere. That said, the service was excellent! Everyone was super friendly and really knew their stuff. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the experience.

Definitely did not know what to expect as this place had mixed reviews but I had to try for myself and had a really a great experience—our service, and food exceeded all of our expectations! I would highly recommend!! I tried their traditional guac, salsa and chips as part of our appetizer, as well as their ceviche de hamachi (so incredibly delicious!). As main entree I ordered their Wagyu Chingon gourmet tacos with a side of rice, and to drink I had their zero-proof Jamaica hibiscus which was really good!! Whole experience was a 10/10.

Solid tacos, the sea bass and Wagyu tacos were great. Wish it came with salsa for each. The chips and guac were decent but wish there was more guac and it was seasoned more. The drinks were good too, loved the idea of the flight.. but the margaritas could have been 10% stronger and my favorite was the smoke and spice one. I loved our waiter though, he was very attentive and checked on us often but was very informative.

Trendy spot with a lively vibe, stylish décor, and some of the best margaritas in Bellevue. The food is flavorful with modern twists on Mexican classics, and service is attentive even when busy. Prices are a bit upscale, but worth it for the quality and atmosphere.

Service was great, but the drink I ordered didn't have anything special and was very expensive. The tacos were good, but I was very disappointed because this is such a beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere, and we went there to celebrate a friend's birthday party, and they sat us on the second floor in the corner. That part of the restaurant is not beautiful at all, and it looks like a storage room, and I don't feel like it was a good experience.

We came to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and, unfortunately, the experience didn’t meet expectations. We were seated upstairs at one of the smallest tables, where my husband and I were practically hanging off the edges. Meanwhile, just in front of us, two people were seated at a much larger table. The energy and buzz we noticed downstairs was completely missing upstairs—it felt quiet and disconnected, which took away from the lively atmosphere we were hoping for. For a special occasion, it just didn’t feel like the experience we expected. That’s the main reason I’m giving only 3 stars.

First of all, servers were tentative and kind, and the atmosphere was also lovely. We are deeply disappointed by the quality of the food - we had tacos and $24 watermelon salad which was probably one of the most underwhelming salads I’ve had at any restaurant. The watermelon was mushy, and we probably should have sent it back but we didn’t. If you pay over $100 for two people dinner, I expect every dish on the menu to be decent regardless of the popularity. Tacos were good but not worth $10-13 each with no sides at all.

We spent a total of $376 （party of three people) here yesterday, including tip—and honestly, I’ve never felt so disappointed. No one cleared our plates, no one refilled our water, and one of the dishes we ordered (a clay pot rice) never even showed up. When I asked about it, the server arrogantly told me it was “cooked from raw rice,” which is a blatant lie. Anyone who knows how to make clay pot rice knows the rice is soaked beforehand, and the whole process takes about 30 minutes, not an hour and a half. When I asked to cancel the dish because we were done eating, the server shrugged and said, “Oh well, it’s already being made,” then disappeared. I had to flag down a female manager to explain again, and luckily she agreed to take it off the bill—but not without giving me the same excuse. The funniest part? When it was time to pay, suddenly every server appeared out of nowhere, asking if we needed water or if we were still enjoying the food. On top of that, this place now charges a 3% credit card fee unless you fill out a survey—which is ridiculous for somewhere with such high prices. We used to come here often when it first opened, but now there are so many new rules and behaviors that just make no sense. I even saw a staff member, still in uniform, sitting at a table full of their own friends, eating and socializing while completely ignoring other customers. If you’re someone who cares about service, I honestly wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. The food quality is fresh—so if you have a sensitive stomach, you might be fine—but the service is far from acceptable. It’s unprofessional and borderline unethical.

It was my first time dining at The Dollar Shop, and at first, I didn’t understand why it was so packed—until I experienced their exceptional customer service! As soon as I walked in, a busser asked if it was my first visit. He introduced the special of the day, explained the layout of the sauce and salad bar, and made me feel comfortable right away. Then I was guided to my table where a tablet displayed the menu, including seasonal items and happy hour discounts. Shortly after, another server came by to go over the menu, and then a third brought out the spice and sauce setup. I really felt well taken care of throughout the meal. The individual hotpot itself was nothing extraordinary, but the service truly stood out. One nice touch was that before I paid, a server offered ice cream—such a sweet way to end the meal! The only downside for me was the 3% surcharge for credit card payments, which they said could be waived if I completed a customer survey. That felt a bit awkward, but the ice cream made up for it pretty quickly. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Order the set menu here! The meal comes with your choice of meat, a platter of mixed veggies and sides, and your choice of either noodle or rice (unlimited refill). It is surprisingly filling and the meat quality is really good! You also get to choose your broth (or split broth) and have access to ayce dessert and sauce bar. Also free ice cream cone afterwards 🥺. I recommend the bone broth and the spicy broth is actually quite spicy. A great hot pot place!

The Dolar Shop is an upscale hot pot experience that blends quality ingredients with attentive service, located in a high-end plaza that draws both food lovers and curious first-timers. This visit marked a solid impression, though a few elements kept it just shy of perfection. Ambiance: 5/5 The interior is sleek, modern, and spotless, fitting for a premium dining experience. I appreciated the spacious seating and individual hot pots, which allowed for a more personal, hygienic, and customizable experience. Authenticity: 3.5/5 While the overall concept leans toward Chinese fine dining, the MaLa broth lacked the complexity and numbing spice kick that defines a true Szechuan base. It was flavorful, but it didn’t capture the depth and boldness that traditionalists might expect. Flavor: 4/5 All the ingredients—from sliced meats to vegetables and seafood—were undeniably fresh and of high quality. Dipping sauces were diverse and well-prepared. However, the slightly muted broth held the overall flavor experience back. Service: 5/5 Service was excellent. Staff were professional, courteous, and attentive throughout our meal. Our server explained everything clearly, from ordering tips to sauce combinations, and checked in frequently without being intrusive. Cost: 3.5/5 This is not a budget-friendly option. Prices skew higher than typical hot pot spots, but considering the environment, service, and presentation, it’s understandable. Still, for the cost, I expected slightly more depth in flavor and authenticity. Overall, The Dolar Shop delivers a luxurious hot pot experience with great attention to detail and service. It’s perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress out-of-town guests. I’m giving it a strong 4 out of 5 stars—an elegant experience, though there’s room for the flavor to evolve further.

Two stars because the business owners are too cheap to pay the $9 credit card fee for a $300+ meal ☺️ By all accounts, Dolar shop is one of my favorite hotpot places in Seattle. The food is delicious, the staff is always professional and kind, the broth is superb, and I love the sauce bar. Our waiter made us their signature sauce and it was delicious! The food and atmosphere is worth the wait. However they recently implemented this ridiculous policy about credit cards that is a complete turn off. For ANY bill, they ask you to pay in cash or debit because they dont want to pay the 3% credit card fee. They do allow you to waive it if you take a Google survey, but everyone is going to click through it just to get over it. You're not a small business, this is a premium hotpot place in Bellevue. Everyone's bill is easily $100+, what is $3? If you must just add 3% to the base broth price, that would annoy people less.

Every place in the Bravern deserves a visit, and with Seattle being such a chilly place year-round, it's an excellent place for excuses such as going to hot pot whenever you want to. I've tried a ton of hot pot locations around the area, and I'd say that Dolar Shop is within the top few spots I'd recommend to anyone. (If you're curious, another place I'd recommend is Haidilao. They're both excellent spots!) Food and pricing: Dolar is reasonably priced (in this economy haha) and has fresher ingredients than some other hot pot places. I've been here a lot of times and the food is always great. I especially like their tripe, and also the quail eggs are my favorite. Also, don't spend a long time wondering what kind of meat is good for your hot pot, all the options are amazing! (Even the chicken. I don't know how they get it so tender, there must be some black magic with marination, corn starch, and a secret recipe of sorts.) Though, I guess it was only today that someone maybe forgot to peel the shell off of a shrimp tail so when I bit into my shrimp ball I tasted something was funny and realized there was a bit of shell in my shrimp. Eh, no biggie, it usually doesn't happen here so I'll still leave the food as five stars. Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear the meat portions decreased a teensy bit when I came today, but don't count me as being entirely sure. Inflation, amirite? (Don't worry, the prices didn't change. I just swear there used to be more meat when I came here before.) You'll probably be full after eating all your things, but if you still have room for food, the desserts bar is full of jelly, bursting boba, fruit, and also panda marshmallows that seem to be the hype among younger kids. My personal favorite is the osmanthus jelly and osmanthus syrup, though family favorites include the red beans (which are the perfect sweetness and texture) and fermented rice wine (which is definitely not store-bought and probably made in-house, considering how strong the flavor is). If you still have room after all of that, there's always complimentary ice cream! If you're still hungry after that, stop by the dessert bar again, or you can check out some other shops at the Bravern such as LeTao or HeyTea. (Though, I doubt it. You'll probably be full.) Service and funsies: The service is nice, everyone is friendly, water and broth are refilled accordingly. You also do get waived your tips if you fill out a quick survey on how your service went today, and also enter the chance to win a $20 gift card every month. Win-win! Oh, also, if you come here on your birthday you get to spin a wheel full of fun little free food options. Last time I came during my birthday and spun a lot of free meat, which my cousin was very happy with. Atmosphere and vibes: The atmosphere is very good, I like the gold accents everywhere and the orange-and-gray theme going on, as well as the lighting. The bathrooms are clean and have hot water (hallelujah!) instead of freezing cold tap water. The only thing I wish is that it's sometimes a traffic jam trying to navigate around, with waiters wheeling around carts and a slightly cramped space meaning scooting to the side very often. I guess it's to accommodate for more seating perhaps, but it would be nice if we had a little more walking area. An additional note: I put my wait time as "up to 10 minutes", since I always come here when they're opening (at 11:30am) and eat a hot pot as a breakfast-turned-lunch or I reserve my spot. Wait times do vary depending on what time you come, but when it's their busy hours expect a little while of a wait. (The waiting area does have refreshments, including my favorite hawthorn snack, and also games such as chess and jump chess. But, my advice is do try to snag a spot early if you can.) Just a random clarification: One last thing, I put the photo captions as "Lamb Shoulder" since that's what the online menu says, but I'm not sure if it's Lamb Flap or Shoulder. Either way, the lamb was great!

Our family dined in for my partner’s birthday. We did mention that it was for a birthday and was told to receive a free dish (through a game?) but they forgot and we did not get anything. Other than that, the food was great and our server was nice.

Great place for kids, including toddlers! There’s something for every child to enjoy, with a wonderful variety of toys and creative play stations. The storytime teacher was energetic and engaging. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day, and although you get access the whole day, it could be tricky to come back. We’ll definitely be back!

This is a fun place to take a toddler. There are several rooms with different themes. There is a grocery store play area, a nursing and book area, play train 🚂 track and plenty of climbing areas. I thought the bees 🐝 and worms 🪱 were a neat! There is a park and library next door. There is paid parking in front of the museum. They are currently renovating the water room.

The museum offers a wide range of hands-on exhibits that cater to various interests and developmental stages. The two-story climbing structure is a standout, providing adventurous kids with a safe and exhilarating challenge. For those who enjoy imaginative play, the Bellevue Mercantile allows children to role-play in a general store setting, enhancing social and cognitive skills. The water play area is another highlight, featuring interactive elements that teach basic physics concepts in a fun and engaging way.  Parents will appreciate the museum’s attention to detail, including the clean facilities, friendly staff, and designated areas for toddlers, ensuring a safe environment for the youngest visitors. The museum also offers a variety of programs throughout the year, such as early learning classes, summer camps, and family workshops, providing ongoing opportunities for enrichment.  Located in downtown Bellevue, KidsQuest is easily accessible and offers a perfect indoor activity for rainy days or any day when your child needs a stimulating environment to explore. Whether you’re a local resident or visiting the area, this museum is a must-visit destination that promises hours of educational fun for children and a pleasant experience for adults.

Very neat place. Has a lot to offer to kids of various ages. The different levels and various activities is great for kids to learn through play. We brought our boys here and they absolutely loved it. The only thing, is there is limited parking in the parking lot.

There are about seven or eight sections for kids to play and explore, plus an outdoor area. It was very interactive and stimulating for my 17-month-old, and I appreciated that everything was well-maintained and very clean. The downsides are the limited parking and crowding. There are only about ten parking spots at the building, and nothing else within two blocks. You can’t park at the library next door—there was a very over-zealous parking attendant questioning people who tried—and there’s no street parking either. That’s a real inconvenience in the rain with young children. I went on a Tuesday morning, and it was still very packed. It doesn’t seem like they limit entry, and it felt overwhelming with so many kids. We did catch a storytime session, but it was hard to see or hear anything past the first row since the microphones weren’t working. Overall, it was an okay experience 👍🏻—fun for little ones but very crowded and a bit pricey for a half-day activity.

My husband, granddaughter, and I arrived at 9:30 a.m. sharp and we had to wait a few minutes for the staff to ready themselves for the busy day ahead. It was a fun filled morning for all of us as we watch our girl play, learn, and be fascinated by it all. Great place for children. Highly recommend!

This was a great place to be for 5-8 years olds today. Tons of imaginative, collaborative play in the farm and shop area and the reading tree. Staff are friendly and chill with kids being kids. The bees are back in the hive, and it's very healthy. Updated 1 July 2025 (February 2023) The Kid was over the moon here. 3 - 6 is the prime age for this spot. Came with a birthday party and all the parties were in cute multi use rooms. Very busy and lots of cute books and crannies. Probably could have done it all in 3 hours if we hadn't needed to build water towers for 45 minutes. Protip: if you or your kid has an interest in water engineering and water play, wear boots. I was kicking myself for not letting my kid wear his xtratufs as I was literally pouring water out of his sopping wet shoes.

Beautiful and quiet little beach park with a playground for kids. There’s a swimming area. People can fish here. There’s also an advisory board telling what kind of fish you can eat. Nice park.

This is one of my favorite parks in downtown Bellevue. It is within minutes away from Bellevue Square Mall. Parking is not as roomy as other locations. The view and design of this little park is just beautiful. There is no BBQ grill area, but very nice for picnics and walks. The kids playground is fun pirate ship. Dog friendly park.

Hidden gem. Small, but cozy park! Great place to swim and enjoy a paddle. The park offers a small beach front, dock for fishing, playground, bathrooms and a large open area for activities. Don't tell anyone I told you...shhhh...lol. FOLLOW ME for more thoughtful recommendations as I travel the world 🌎

Clear water, very nice meadow looking down to the lake- perfect for just lying down in a beautiful summer afternoon

One of my favorite places in Seattle. No lifeguards during fall - you can swim and enjoy. Water in Separate appeared to be warmer then in summer

The location looked lively yet relaxing. Families, friends, and solo visitors all seemed to enjoy it equally. It was nice to see such a pleasant public space.

Good Park cum Pier. Best during sunset
