I came by for a quick lunch with my son, and we were most impressed with the freshness of the dishes offered and variety of the dish offerings. Ordering was easy with a touchscreen system with well displayed pictures of everything available. The wait for the food afterwards during a busy lunch time was far shorter than we would've typically expected. My son went with the Two Protein bento, and I got the Old School Fried Pork chop. With the bento he chose the Beef tongue and Pork Belly for the protein sources. Both came with lots of rice that were well sauced. Alongside all of that I ordered extra eggs. Everything that was advertised as crispy was exceptionally crispy and everything was very flavorful and fresh tasting. The serving sizes were more than adequate, and we had to take home leftovers. I work nearby so I am now compelled to come back regularly so I can work my way through all of the dishes available. read more

I have been wanting to try this place from their food truck days, but never could due to their odd hours. Now that they have an actual shop inside Asian Family Mart, it makes it so much more convenient. I was able to order online and received a text message when it was ready for pickup by the time that was specified during the order. I ordered the two protein bento where you can choose which 2 proteins you want in addition to the accompaniments that included rice, corn, marinated egg, stir-fried cabbage, blanched spinach, and a a marinated tofu block. I chose the Spicy Pepper Chicken and Pork Hock with Bamboo Shoots as my proteins. Both were excellent. The Spicy Pepper Chicken was crispy, spicy (medium level-ish?) and flavorful. The pock hock portion was very generation and cooked to perfection. The skin was nice and gelatinous and the bamboo shoots added a slight stink to the dish (if you know, you know). The pork hock added a $4 additional charge as an option making my bento around $22. The portion was plentiful and I made it last 2 meals which I think is a pretty good deal. The parking in this plaza is decently sized, but if you are familiar with this popular Asian market/eatery plaza you'll know that it can get difficult during the busy meal times and sparse other times. So it really just depends when you go. read more

Sometimes Instagram influencers hype up the place too much and it's not real. And sometimes they aren't hyping it up enough! This place really does have the best beef noodle soup! The only thing I would say is that the the influencers had way more beef in their bowls than I did! Even the ones that said they didn't add extra. I'm sure the restaurant was a bit more generous for the promotion. But still, the beef noodle was amazing. The most flavorful, riches flavor I've had in the area. Meat was tender. Flavors were well balanced. I also love that because it's in a food court next to Asian Food Mart, there are many other restaurants nearby if the rest of your family want something else. Casual seating, bus your own table. Popcorn chicken was okay. Nothing great but also not bad. Pork hock was okay, not worth the upcharge in my opinion. The crispy chicken was really yummy. read more

I'm happy that Lunch on the Plate has a storefront after seeing their food truck around SLU. They are located in the Asian Family Market Food Hall in the front. Everything is ordered through the self order kiosk. I like that almost every item has a picture too. All items are packaged to go but there's self seating in the food market. I ordered the two protein bento and it was almost $20. I went with popcorn chicken and braised Taiwanese tofu. The popcorn chicken was crispy and flavorful. The braised tofu had two different types of tofu. I had a bite of my friend's pork chop and it was nicely crispy with no bone. I also had a side of tomato egg and it was okay - I wish there was more tomato flavor. Overall, lunch on the plate had a good selection of different items. The bentos were good but on the pricey end. I would like to they their beef noodle soup next time. read more

I saw a clip about the beef noodle soup at Lunch on the Plate. I decided that this was one of the places I had to try while visiting Seattle on this trip. I am staying near Southcenter in Tukwila, so it's around a 30 minute drive to Bellevue. I arrived shortly before closing on a weekday, it was a rainy day, so the food court was fairly empty. My first impression of their storefront was it looked very bright and clean. After studying their menu boards, I walked up to the counter to ask if they accepted cash payments. The worker said yes and took my order. I wasn't too hungry, so I ordered the beef noodle soup. He suggested that I add the beef and egg, which I did. The food took around 10 min, it wasn't too long of a wait. I absolutely loved this soup, the noodles were soft and a bit chewy. The broth was spicy and had lots of depth. The beef was soft and easily broke apart with my chopsticks. I did find it a bit difficult to enjoy the soup with the provided plastic spoon, I ended up drinking it from the bowl. When I first got the bowl of soup, I was worried it wasn't going to be enough to fill me, even though I wasn't too hungry... I was wrong, it was very filling. Since my first experience went well, I was driving back from up north and decided to stop at Lunch on the Plate again and pick up take out. This time I ordered the noodles, side order of pork chop, and the spicy chicken. The worker and I were talking and I was given a bento to try also. I absolutely loved everything I tried. I don't like cilantro and the sauce for the chicken had it; but I was able to eat it without the sace and still enjoy it. The bento had their braised pork hock and tofu with vegetables, both were very flavorful. The pork hock was cooked perfectly, it held together well, but wasn't tough. There was some kind of meat served over the rice, which reminded me of a chunky pork floss, that was very good. All of the food traveled and reheated well. I met a friend today for lunch here, again. My third time in a week; I would come back more but I leave later this afternoon. My friend and I both had the beef noodle soup, and each ordered a two protein bento. I got the pork chop and popcorn chicken. The employees here are very friendly, the food is reasonably priced and very good. Their food is also consistent, which is rare. read more

Lunch on the Plate - Spicy Pepper Chicken (Mild Spicy) Bento(B) Mini Braised Pork Belly Rice (Only Comes With Rice Cabbage) - Taiwanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The pork hock was pretty good and very flavorful. I'd definitely recommend eating it with rice or another side since it's quite rich and on the salty side. The portion was a bit smaller than I expected, but ordering through the self-service kiosk was quick and efficient. It's conveniently located in the food court next to Asian Family Mart. read more

Lili the owner was super nice. She took the time to Explain the dish to us. They also have a food truck that is stationed most of the time @Lake Union by Amazon building. They are family owned restaurant. My favorite would have to be the Pepper Chicken & Braised Beef Noodles and you can add Tendon and other things you like. Everything was good. They are inside Asian Family Market a food court and have plenty of seats around. Must try!!! read more

Lunch on the Plate - Two Protein Bento - Taiwanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I first heard about LotP from a YouTube video from a Taiwan news channel and I was really happy to find out that they opened this eastside location, saving me a trip to Seattle. So far, we've tried a few items and enjoyed all of them but, to my surprise, it is the braised pork belly bento is what I've been craving. There's plenty of the sauce and the meat to cover all the rice and it works well with the accompanying stir fry cabbage and braised tofu and egg (I'm getting hungry). I also have to call out the stir fry cabbage. It is one of my favorite dishes. The ones I had in Taiwan are saucy and the leaves are tender. So far, many Taiwanese places around Seattle gave me flash stir fried style with close to raw leaves. Only Memory Corner in Richmond BC gave me cabbage like what I had in Taiwan. I'm glad to say that LotP has the same kind of cabbage saving me a two-hour drive. Service wise, the Bellevue location is inside a food hall so there's no waiter and stuff, but the staff is friendly. I got to meet one the owners and I can tell she's passionate about their food. Anyways, definitely recommend giving this place for Taiwanese food. read more

We were buying some things from Asian Family Mart, and decided to check out the new food court. We already had dinner at home, so was not planning and buying any food. We looked at the menus at all the restaurants, and came back around to this place again. Their Spicy Pepper Chicken just sounded so good, we decided we needed to try it. We ordered the Two Protein Bento, and chose the Spicy Pepper Chicken and Classic Braised Diced Pork Belly for the two proteins. It came with some steamed veggies. We decided to sit down at one of the benches there. I just wanted to try a couple bites real quick while it was fresh and take the rest home, but it was so good, my bf and I shared it and finished it all there. The pepper sauce for the chicken was very flavorful and the chicken was tasty. The diced pork belly was also tasty, and came with half of an egg and corn. Even the veggies were good, and had some garlic flavor to it. We definitely plan on coming back soon. read more

Tiny portions. The portions is significantly smaller than before. Be aware !! Ask the owner to replace and they refused

Lunch on the Plate is inside the food court adjacent to Asian Family Market. Whoever came up with the idea for the food court: thank you, love it! There's plenty of parking outside and it's super convenient to go from the market into the restaurant area to browse what's there. The restaurant is facing one of the doors, close to the market, so easy to find. They have multiple menus posted, with photos, and you place your order at the kiosk, then it automatically texts you when your order is up. There are various tables and chairs throughout the food court if you choose to dine in. I ordered a two-protein plate (lu rou fan and pork chop); the lu rou fan was lighter colored than I'm used to seeing it, but it was delicious anyway, as was the pork chop. I also ordered a crispy pork belly plate; the owner told me he didn't have a full order's worth of pork belly left, so he wanted to know if he could comp me a pork chop for the shortage - um, yespleaseandthankyou! The food was all delicious flavors of childhood, and I love the biandang concept. Will definitely be back! read more
