I have been craving a specific boba tea for SO LONG now, one that has the nice flavor of tea, a…read morenon-dairy milk, and boba that is slightly sweet and bouncy without being mushy on the outside or hard on the inside- and this place delivered for me perfectly!! I got it at 75% sweet because the last new place I visited had lower sweet, but this one I could've done 50% I think. It's really too bad this spot is so far from me (I live in Bellevue)... or maybe it's a good thing because I'd get it too much. Maybe better for my health and wallet. X_x This place also serves a lot of food, actually. I ended up getting a tea and chicken combo, and the chicken was fried but not overly oily and spiced flavorfully. The meat itself also isn't too fatty, which makes me feel like I'm not making the WORST choices by eating it........ You can get you own water at the counter, and if you order for here you need to put a table number, which I found out is already on the table, not a placard you grab near the ordering tableau.

My friend and I were looking for any new place to hang out, then we found One N Half Lab where they…read morehave a good selection of boba tea and Taiwanese street food. My friend was a big fan of boba tea, and I missed Taiwanese street food badly, so we just decided to try out this place. We showed up right after they opened their door. I am a low tech person, but I found their ordering kiosk was easy to use. We ordered two meals, Taiwanese sausage bento and Beef noodle soup, that came with drinks. One interesting we noticed is that each meal selection came with different drink options. When we ordered Taiwanese sausage bento, there's an option to order a drink at a cheaper price, but no old fashioned black tea, so we ordered milk tea. However, when we ordered beef noodle soup, there's no milk tea option but old fashioned black tea. We thought all the add-on drink options were the same, but they weren't. We then got milk tea and black tea from the add on options since it's much cheaper. We also ordered blood rice cake and the braised combo. There were a few tables in the store. When we were there, not too many people were there, so we just picked up a table. The food came very quickly. During the lunch time, around noon to 1 pm, the entire place was packed. After that, most people just came to pick up something and left. The food was very delicious and was authentically Taiwanese food. The blood rice cake was southern Taiwanese style. I wish they also had northern style that would wrapped with peanut powder. The braised combo was very tasty. I guess it was cooked in the sauce for a long time. The beef noodle soup was really good, and they could add picked mustards for free. My friend and I had a lot to chat, so we stayed in the store until they closed. Nobody ever tried to kick us out simply because we had stayed too long. We had a good time there, enjoying the food and the drinks. I am sure that we will come again soon.

I have been to Sip Thai in Kirkland (Totem Lake) and it left a great impression. Since I am in…read moreIssaquah I saw they were also here. I had to give them another try and their other location. I ordered first the Crab Wonton and they were just as I expected. Slightly crunchy, smooth and creamy with delicious crab taste. Then I ordered as the main Red Curry with Pork and the Garlic with Pork. Both dish were very delicious and not overly powering. You can taste the crunchiness of the cooked broccoli and the tender pork was soaked in this delicious garlic sauce. The curry dish was also super good. The only slightly down side was since I asked for two stars...it was easy a medium high heat to my taste and that was a bit much. So if you like some medium low spiciness to your meal, ask for just one star or none. Haha The waitress lady was very nice and accommodating. She brought my meal in about 12 to 15 mins and that is everything. Quick and convenient. As for the ambiance of the place was nice and plenty of lighting. It is on the small side with not to many tables. I noticed they had a lot of their extra stored drinks displayed and laying around the restaurant. It is possible they do not have the extra storage, so they had to put them in the restaurant, who knows. Overall very delicious and good Thai food, despite the spiciness level being too high for me. I would definitely give them a try and I also plan to return to try their other yummy dishes. :)

If…read moreyou're willing to drive a little further away, you can get equally good or better Korean for less. I ordered the stone pot bibimbap. The display was beautiful but the rice didn't crisp up against the stone pot the way I expected, and that may have been because of how it was plated. I also ordered the six piece mixed fried chicken - the chicken was super hot, freshly fried and flavorful. I can definitely see why they advertise the chicken on the door. It's not my favorite Korean place but I'll definitely come back here if in the area.

My parents and I stopped here for lunch yesterday, and found the place a little empty. However,…read moreafter we placed our orders, the space gradually filled with customers which gave us some comfort. The service here was quick, the ambiance casual, and the food is very satisfying! The roast duck was very tender, and the rice and bok choy well cooked and seasoned. The Singapore noodles had a stronger curry flavor than I was used to, and was good. The true surprise was the salted fish chicken with eggplant. I've never had a dish like this before, and the fish smell was a little pungent. However, the taste wasn't fishy at all and had a great umami flavor. The eggplant was also tender and cooked beautifully. This is the type of food that is very comforting and makes me want to eat more even though I'm full! I wish the portions were bigger considering its price point. Of the three dishes, I can only find myself justifying the eggplant to be worth its price because it is so unique. The Singapore noodles and roast duck I believe I can find for a better value elsewhere. Though I won't be a regular customer, this was a nice find with good food!

I read some positive feedback about Famous Kitchen in the past. While I was in Issaquah, I decided…read moreto dine there. The place looked new-ish in a small plaza; several other restaurants are within sight. I yelp-checked every single one of them. All of them hover at about 3.5 stars, plus/minus some. Hmmm. Anyway, I kept the original plans and entered. They have a Chinese BBQ area that was being cleaned for the night, which makes sense. It was nearly 7pm on a Sunday. The menu had mostly ordinary Cantonese varieties with several less common ingredients like fermented bean curd, salted fish, and bitter melon. Always a good sign. When I fished recommendations from the server requesting good 'uncommon' dishes (and I spoke in Cantonese), he still pointed to the 'normal' dish. Fine, I stayed along those lines, too. The food is alright. The prices are at Eastside level. This place is worthy if you don't want to drive out of Issaquah (to Bellevue or CID). If I wasn't in Issaquah, I would not purposely drive here. The Food: Curry Beef Brisket Rice 咖喱牛腩饭, $17.99 - 3.5 Stars Tender-enough beef brisket and daikon cover a massive amount of rice. The curry is thick and pooled just right. The flavor of the curry met expectations. I wish Chinese restaurants understand it is okay to give an appropriate amount of rice instead of a massive amount to avoid waste. House Special Fried Noodle 招牌炒面/粉, $20.99 - 3.5 Stars This noodle dish surprised me that it is closer to 'soy sauce king chow mein' 豉油皇炒麵 that happens to have additional ingredients. Few restaurants serve it this way. Not a good or bad thing per se. The ingredients tend to heavily absorb the soy sauce, and the flavor profile becomes a bit too uniform. On the contrary, some may find this method more flavorful. Salt &Pepper Chicken Wings 脆皮炸鸡翅, $18.99 - 4 Stars These wings ended up being my favorite dish. They have an excellent crispy on the outside, juicy inside. Good flavor, too. They are closer to 3.5 Stars. Nothing in the overall experience stood out to round up the overall rating.

TL;DR: Kid got severe food poisoning, will never come back…read more We had lunch here today after our Costco trip. Our toddler developed severe food poisoning symptoms: By 8 PM he had diarrhea, followed by severe vomiting at 10:30 PM. We have been frequent customers, but after this experience, we will never go back. Management needs to investigate their food safety protocols immediately. Here are the items my son ate: Pork & Crab Xiao Long Bao, Pork & Shrimp dumplings and Shrimp & Zucchini dumplings. Another note: I had the Spicy (Ma La) Noodles today and immediately returned it as the soup just tasted like soap water. Not sure what's going on there.

The location has a decent amount of parking/tables. We had a lovely server who remembered the off menu item of fried rice, which we wanted to order anyway. He was very attentive but not overbearing or rushed us in any way. We got the fried rice (toddler enjoyed), beef pancake roll, pan fried Q bao (toddler also enjoyed), pork and shrimp potsticker, zha jiang mian noodles and banana bread dessert. The noodles were pretty disappointing because it was not really black bean saucy enough. The other dishes were solid. There was another server helping out and he was just super pushy and rushed us. When we paid for the check, I wanted to use my rewards but he charged my husband so quickly on the machine it got missed. They close at 9 but it was probably only 7 or so, not packed and people were still getting seated.. not sure why such a rush. It just put a sour taste in my mouth with him.

There were never fewer than 3-4 takeout orders on the counter the entire time we were there. We had the shrimp fresh rolls, fish cakes, Prik King with chicken, and took home the chicken laab. Everything was great! And we are very particular about Thai food. The brisk takeout business vs the slower dine-in speaks to the introversion of your typical Issaqhah resident. If you want to meet people, try Enzo at Happy Hour. But I can guarantee you will see us here once or twice a month. Yummy!

We think this is going to be our to go spot for thai foods. The foods were full of flavors, portioned accordingly and the right amount of spicy levels (whichever you prefer) What we got: Crying tiger (5/5) Beefs were nicely season and cooked. The sauce with it were delicious. Paired nicely with the lettuce. Great appetizer. Kra prao with egg and chicken; spicy lvl 5. (5/5) This was great as well. Fried egg on top of rice with very well seasoned and cooked chicken. Great to share but also perfect if you just want to get something for yourself since you get everything. Pad khee mao w/ crispy pork; spicy lvl 5. (5/5) This was perfect. The right amount of sauce and spicines. The crispy pork is super crispy and delicious. This is my wife's favorite thai dish and she were super happy with it. Lots of flavor. Eggplant delight; spicy lvl 3. (4.5/5) Perfect to get and eat with your rice. It saucy, flavorfull, and right amount of spicines. It is greasy since the eggplant was deep fried. But its delicious!! Thai iced tea (3/5) The tea were too sweet for us. Let it sit a bit for the ice to melt and dilute it; it makes it much better. Thai iced coffee (3.5/5) This was a bit too sweet as well. Its decent overall. Overall Highly recommend to try. We thought we would have a lot of left over since we ordered plenty of foods; but we almost finish them all. We were very satisfied and happy to find this restaurant. We will go back for sure and try their other offerings.

This is quite literally the worst sushi place I've been to in my recent memory; I can't believe…read morethere's people that think this spot is really good lol. The Seared Ahi appetizer we ordered was incredibly fishy, pungent, and clearly not fresh. Definitely the worst dish we ordered. Spring rolls were whatever. The 2 sushi rolls (Ocean Queen and Outstanding I think) were not good either, but not terrible. These were edible and a relief to eat after the Seared Ahi monstrosity. I was feeling nauseous, but my mom wanted to order an udon to offset the fishiness of the ahi. I told her it'd be a bad idea since I couldn't imagine the udon would be any good either, but she said "How can they mess up udon? It's an easy dish to make." Turns out, you can mess up udon. The noodles were overcooked and limp. At the end of the meal, I was queasy af and disappointed. It's not a super cheap place either, so we dropped like $120 on an abomination of a meal. Service was good though, and the servers were nice. I will not be coming back due to the food quality and taste, but the service and ambiance were solid.

Their current location is much bigger and can accommodate their growing business and it's still quite convenient with public parking right around the corner. Dining in person and take out have both been fab. I love that they have dim sum all day. They used to do the carts but basically no one does that anymore. Instead, you order off a menu and they bring everything out fresh to you. We always order their pork shu mai, shrimp balls, baked bbq pork buns, potstickers, cilantro dumplings, sesame seed balls, egg tarts, and garlic green beans. But we've tried almost everything on their dim sum menu and it's all really good. We also usually get an order of mapo tofu or eggplant or beef chow fun off the regular menu too to supplement for a larger group. Service is excellent. We love the people who run this place. They are always super kind to our family and work really hard. They keep the hot tea coming and check in frequently. Not to mention the restaurant is always clean!
