Food: I had one of the bento combos and it came with miso soup, a side salad, and a large dinner plate. The first thing that stood out to me was how much of everything came with the bento. On top of that, everything was very fresh and tasty. The dragon roll was also very good! Service/Ambiance: The staff here was very friendly. The restaurant isn't huge so I'd imagine it could get pretty packed during a lunch or dinner rush. There a few parking spots out front in the plaza, but also lots of street parking nearby. Price: For the quality and portions of the food, I would say this is a great value. The bento was around ~25 and the roll was ~18 which is pretty standard in 2026

Updated review from 2 Months ago…read more.. I've been back roughly 6 times from my previous review of Kona Kitchen. Then it was too many staff, not many customers and it was difficult to get service, that has been improved upon. They are nice and attentive when they see you. Service was normal, the wait staff came around and offered more beverage. This time it was still slow period, so what gives it only 3 stars instead of more? It's the fact that the main door the employee use to go into the kitchen to give their orders to the cooks had cob webs on the top of the door.i mean everyone of them walk through that door hundreds of times throughout the week because I could tell it's been there for some time. Where's the food inspector, should be a concern because if it's there in full view of customers and employees, what else is happening as far as cleanliness at Kona Kitchen. I will be there within two or three days and wonder if the cobweb will still be a fixture there... it's something that is annoying because nobody's done anything about it. Amazing.

Great take out spot!…read more Exclusively bowls but lots of topping and flavor varieties. We had the unagidon and the tofu bowl. Both were tasty and fresh! Service was fast and friendly even though they were quite busy.

Such a solid spot!…read more Was craving poke but wasn't feeling any of the options nearby so I landed in minato instead. I FN love anything sushi-related and esp dig salmon, hamachi, and ahi (if the ahi is imported from like Japan or Hawaii bc yooo why does tuna gotta taste so different depending on where it's from haha). This place offers allll that and more including a standard chirashi bowl and different combos of donburi and similar bowls. They were honest w me when I asked where they got their ahi from (staff said Mexico or the Caribbean) so I copped their hamachi and salmon bowl. Oooo hoooo that shi was gas tho. My only complaint is I wish there was more bc 10 pieces aint enough for a fatty like me lol. But pretty good value! Sushi rice was also solid. All dat was around $20 plus t/t.

Meh. My expectations…read morewere not high, but they were certainly higher than what we received when we came to this place. We came at about 4 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon before a movie. To start, while the server took our order, he sat on the table next to ours. Not AT the table...ON the table. Like he put his ass on the table while entering our order into his handheld system. The food came out quickly and was tasty, but honestly didn't look very appetizing. I got the All-Star Ramen and everything was the same color. See the picture. Visually underwhelming for an "All-Star" dish. Just sort of...beige. As soon as our food was served, the server went on his break, grabbed a bowl of Ramen, and sat just outside the window where we could watch him eat his dinner. From that point on the only service we got was by flagging down somebody else in the restaurant. My five dollar glass of iced tea was refilled once and only because I motioned somebody over to get me some more. There were no condiments at our table, so I had to go get some from a nearby table because nobody brought any to us. The walls were all patched and dirty, and the bathroom floor was covered in toilet paper. Honestly, this component of it was kind of gross and made the place feel kind of seedy. I've been here before, though it's been years....it was better before. We paid $60 for two people. I tipped but not well because, frankly, the service was not that great. I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. Sad that they've fallen off their game.

The restaurant had several tables inside of the business. The server came back later, brought us a container of water, & took our order. A short time later our food was brought out. The server wasn't personable and there wasn't much engagement during our visit. I ordered a shrimp tempura specialty roll. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again.

The Bok Choy was also really great and had what I would describe as a comforting flavor. Staff was nice, they gave us a free order of gyoza, just because. I am looking forward to my next trip.

For that, I am giving you three stars, but for everything else, I give one to two stars. The white rice is usually dry and just does not taste that good. Sesame noodles and are always way too salty. Spam musubi is way too salty (does it really need a salty sauce on top of already salty Spam?). Bok choy greens are not cooked right (they taste chewy) and way too salty. The mac salad is surprisingly not too salty but just bland. Sesame chicken is fried in a super thick batter and is goopy and hard rather than crispy and savory. Same goes for the fried cauliflower. We tried you EIGHT TIMES, Grillbird. We wanted to like you and gave you many chances, but alas, you have missed the mark too many times. We won't be back. ps. If you ever bring back your five-spice stewed beef, we might be back. That beef was amazing.

Went in hoping for an authentic Japanese steakhouse experience but left disappointed. The vibe felt…read moremore like generic than the real deal, and the meat itself was mediocre. Nothing that really wowed me in terms of quality or flavor. The mashed potatoes felt like something from a cheap cruise ship dinner. Two ppl was over $200 and we didn't even order drinks. Service was genuinely good, though. Our server was attentive and friendly the whole time, so that part I can't complain about. But honestly, for the price, it doesn't compare to other steakhouses around Seattle. You can find better quality for the same money or less elsewhere. Good service alone isn't enough to make up for so-so food and weak value. Don't recommend overall.

Came here for the third time and still not disappointed…read more Shout out to Natalie, she's the sweetest, very kind and helpful, I got my questions answered nicely. Honestly, every staff member here was very nice and friendly. I only remember Natalie because she was always our host when we came here and today I finally took a glance at her name tag. So far, I've had mango sago, chive cakes, pad kee mao beef, pad ka prao beef, and crab crawl noodles, and all were good! The chive cakes tasted just like the ones my Indonesian grandma made. Can't believe I can actually taste my childhood flavors once again. The crab noodles were black peppery and on the kinda sweet side, and the crab crawl was good and fresh, I love real crab meat. The pad ka prao beef was so fragrant when it was brought to the table. There was a lot of beef, and it was tender and flavorful. The sweet basily sauce also reminds me of the basily stir-fried clams my grandma used to make. If I wasn't 100% sure, I'd suspect that my 78 years old grandma might have secretly come to Seattle and worked as a chef here. If you like Thai tea or milk tea, try the cha Thai slushy (they can also make it alcoholic if you like). So good! It's sweet enough to hit the spot after biking, but also not too sweet that makes you feel guilty. The mango sago was huge, it tasted as it's look, mango and milk ice cream and perfectly cooked sago, but you might get a few really sour mango cuts lol. The portion was definitely big enough to share with at least one other person. They also have a decent vegan/vegetarian section too. My partner loves the garlicky noodles. Btw, if the owner or restaurant manager could see this, could you please fix the door or apply some lube or something? I noticed that everyone struggled a few seconds when trying to open the door.

Gao Lhao is one of those restaurants that seems to be misunderstood because it's owned by the same…read morepeople behind Kin Lin. Since they share some dishes, many people expect the same food and end up viewing Gao Lhao as a lower-end version of Kin Lin. I don't think that's a fair comparison. The restaurant is inspired by Yaowarat--Bangkok's Chinatown--so the menu leans toward egg noodle soups, wontons, fish balls, BBQ pork, and other Chinese-influenced Thai dishes. Isarn Thai, also from the same group, takes a similar approach with food inspired by Northern Thailand. These restaurants are meant to have different identities, not simply replicate Kin Lin. I ordered the BBQ Pork, Wonton & Fishballs "Gao Lhao Moo Dang." The portion was satisfying, but the broth and overall dish were a bit sweeter than I prefer. It also took about 20 minutes to come out. In Yaowarat, a dish like this would typically be prepared much faster--closer to 10 minutes--especially from a busy noodle stall. My biggest criticism is that the vibe and decor don't fully match the Yaowarat concept. I think the restaurant would have been much more compelling if the kitchen had been designed like open vendor stalls, where guests could watch the food being prepared and receive it fresh and quickly. That would have made the Chinatown street-food inspiration feel much more authentic. I may be a little harsher in my critique because the concept has a lot of potential, but it's still difficult to find good Thai restaurants in Seattle. Gao Lhao is not simply a lesser Kin Lin--it's a different style of Thai food that deserves to be judged on its own terms.
