    Tofu & Veggie
    Natalie A.

    As someone who's always looking for new places to try, I'm surprised it took us this long to find KinD Restaurant. We live in West Seattle, but since they've only been open for about two months, this was our first visit--and it definitely won't be our last. We started with the edamame and kimchi. The kimchi has a nice kick to it, and we absolutely loved it! For our mains, we ordered the tofu and vegetable noodle soup and the bone-in short rib. Both were incredibly comforting, with a rich, savory broth and plenty of vegetables. We actually found ourselves asking for extra broth because it was that good! The bone-in short rib was fork-tender, packed with flavor, and one of those dishes you'll still be thinking about after the meal. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared without feeling overly heavy. We also tried the Japanese lager. My husband, who's a big beer enthusiast and usually prefers bolder, heavier beers, thought it was a little too light for his taste. If you enjoy easy-drinking lagers, though, you'll probably love it. The service made the experience even better. Brandon was the only server covering about five tables, yet he never seemed overwhelmed. He took the time to walk us through the menu, explain how everything worked, and checked on everyone throughout our meal. It's always refreshing to receive service that feels genuinely welcoming rather than rushed. For a restaurant that's only been open a short time, they're off to a fantastic start. If you're looking for a cozy spot with flavorful food and warm hospitality, Kind Restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

    Dumpling soup with beef broth
    Dena F.

    I dined at KinD with a friend and we were both really looking forward to trying their food. The restaurant is well designed, and not too large - which was nice. There was one staff member working the front of the house and ordering was done through a tablet. They have a nice assortment of options on their menu, and I opted for the dumpling soup with beef broth. My friend opted for the veggie tofu soup with vegan broth. Food was delivered fairly quickly, which was nice, and beautifully presented. My dumpling soup came with six very full homemade dumplings, I opted to eliminate the white onions and green onions from my dish when I ordered - so you won't see them in the photo. The dumplings we're plump and clearly homemade with good flavor but the sodium level was quite high in them. And unfortunately, both my friend and I were really disappointed by the sodium level of the broths, which was much too high for us so stayed on my tongue for a really long time. Usually when the broth is high you might get a relief from the dumplings or the noodles and the vegetables, but everything was overly salted for our tastes. I even removed some dumplings and noodles from the broth hoping that eating them from a plate would give me a relief from the high sodium level. However it didn't because they were also high in sodium individually. The nice staff member who helped us offered to ask in the back of the kitchen if the chefs had done anything to change the recipe that day and apparently these were their standard traditional broth recipes, which is good to know, but also a disservice to the flavor because when broths are overly salted you really don't get a good sense of the broth flavor or the richness of the ingredients. He did mention in the future we can ask for a low sodium version and they can dilute the broth - I'm guessing this will also dilute the flavor of the broth so it might not be as rich. Unfortunately, neither of us were able to eat much of our food because we were overwhelmed by the sodium, so didn't even bring our leftovers home. We were given a discount on our bill because of this but left very hungry still and we really would have just preferred to been able to eat all our lunch.

    Beef Noodle Soup
    Vinh M.

    This West Seattle restaurant is one of many I wanted to give a try, so for a trip to this part of Seattle and to also stroll around Alki Beach, I came here with a friend on a Saturday evening around 7:30pm. The interior immediately struck me as being pretty modern and minimalistic with several paintings on the walls and a bar area followed by several tables that seat groups of up to 8 people or so. Our wait wasn't long as most tables weren't filled until the absolute last minute right when we finished our 1-hour visit and ate our food. The menu has options including noodle soups, banh mi sandwiches, dumplings, rice plates and tons of drinks of all sorts. Staff gives you a tablet where you place your orders and add more when you feel like it. Our dishes took a good 20 or so minutes to finally come out which is a while given the restaurant wasn't packed in any way. As for our food: - We shared some homemade pork and shrimp spicy wontons, which came in six and showered with a spicy sauce similar to that of Lao Gan Ma chili crisps, only much thinner. We both agreed it wasn't too spicy but we were fine with the lower spice levels. - I got their beef noodle soup, which - put simply - felt more like a regular bowl of pho minus the lime and other small stuff. It has sirloin slices that were raw when presented until staff gracefully poured the beef broth into the bowl and turned all that red meat into the tender protein that I enjoy. Green onions, small mint leaves and some cilantro finish the rest of the dish. Hoisin sauce and sriracha are provided on the side for this. Dishes here are promising overall and there's a ton of variety besides what we both got. A return trip here is in the works whenever I come back for something related to West Seattle!

    filling of Fried Dumplings - pork
    Courtney Y.

    The quality of meat here hits different - everything was well-made and flavorful. I snapped a pic of the Fried Dumplings (pork) and appreciated the handmade filling. It's clean, a little small inside and has decent amount of seating. I would agree with others that is on the pricier end, but if you frequently eat similar foods and prefer higher quality meats, I think it's clear why. At the same time, if you don't have a preference - know that's what you're paying for (I have some spots I don't mind a lower quality of meat too). BUT I do think this is important - there really aren't many West Seattle restaurants with good Asian food. So sure, you could drive further out but if you want to stay local to WS - this is your spot. It's worth it. Try their handmade dumplings! Just like family makes.

    Stir-Fried Wagyu noodle soup
    Melody Y.

    Even though it's called Noodle House, their appetizers are just as delicious! I especially loved the Mala Beef Shank, homemade spicy wontons, and the wonton soup. The cucumber appetizer was also incredibly fresh and refreshing. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. Highly recommend this place, and I'll definitely be back!

    Beef Noodle Soup
    Alyssa L.

    Been living in west Seattle for 2 years now and have always been looking for a good Asian spot and today I finally got to try kinD! KinD is located on the junction and offers a unique twist on Asian food. We went on a weekday during their soft opening phase, so we got a free appetizer: fried dumplings to share which was so delicious! For our main dishes, we opted for a chicken and beef noodle soup since it was a chilly day. The beef noodle soup was a twist on traditional pho. The soup was very flavorful but I did miss the spices they use in a traditional pho. The meat was slightly overcooked probably from how hot the soup was but was overall enjoyable. The chicken noodle soup had round noodles kind of resembling udon and the broth was really light and comforting, kind of like a home cooked meal. The other menu items like the wagyu noodle soup and the curry rice looked good so I do want to give those a try next time as well. Overall, given that we went during their soft opening, the food was not bad! Shout out to Brandon, our server who was super attentive and gave us great recommendations as it was our first time visiting.

    A longtime staple in Seattle's Chinatown, Mike's Noodle House has all the making of an old school…read morespot, making one of the very things I live for: wonton noodle soup. The Chinese name, 全記麵家, has little to do with the name Mike, but is nevertheless an excellent choice for anyone in the area. The staff is very Cantonese through and through. It is a cash only establishment and their menu is heavy on the noodles, be it in soup form or dry. There isn't a ton of room for large groups, but the turnover is quick and thus the weights are usually quite minimal. Service is very good overall and super friendly. I would highly not recommend using their bathroom, as it's tiny, cramped, and not in the best condition. The noodle soups vary from wonton noodles to fishballs. They also specialize in beef brisket and fishballs, making this feel like a bit of a Hong Kong style cafe. Most of the soups average out to be $14-16, depending on size. It's a joy to watch them assemble the bowls in lightning quick fashion. Wontons are excellent. They're plump with just enough skin for texture and are complemented by a fragrant soup and very little skimpage on the noodle (#1). The large dumpling (aka "sui kau") is an excellent wonton alternative for those looking for similar textures. The beef brisket is tender and they also have a dedicated section for just congee. There aren't a lot of places like Mike's anymore, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second for an opportunity to come back. In fact, I'll make sure it's part of the Seattle rotation (#2) for whenever I'm back. __________ (#1) Read: very good portions. (#2) Unless of course, I'm on my way to Vancouver BC.

Good noodles, good chashu, and delicious broth on their "Original" ramen (which is pretty much Tonkotsu, I think). It's lacking in nothing. I also appreciate the way they structure the menu: most toppings are optional (like egg and seaweed) in exchange for a modest base price. Yet even when you add stuff back in, the sum is still reasonable, e.g. with added seaweed and a shot of extra noodles, my bowl came out right around $20 after tax/tip. Service is quick and courteous. This place has only one problem: the wait is damn eternal. I waited 50+ minutes, and the only reason I got in that _fast_ was because I came solo and qualified for counter seating.

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles. My friend really enjoyed it and actually finished the whole thing, which is saying something given that she doesn't usually eat that much. There are so many other items on the menu that I'm eager to try, so I will definitely be back.
