    Smoked Salmon Bagel
    Carolina L.

    Such a cute place to do some work or just sit down and chat with a friend! Stopped by for a quick bite and shared the salmon bagel. It was quite good, exactly what you would expect it to taste like. Love the location!

    Came in for a coconut milk latte. Cute cafe in downtown Kirkland! What a gem, I'll definitely be back. Serving organic coffee, tea, juices and some light bites.

    Pistachio power

    This is a health-conscious place to dine at, with food and drink that caters to everyone from those with dietary restrictions to those without. I came with two of my friends around 6:20pm just before their closing time of 7pm and before grabbing an actual dinner around the area. Inside feels really clean and you can smell certain fruits when you walk in. There's more than enough seating for larger groups, and it was completely empty when we got there. Only one of my friends got a drink here, and waited about 10 minutes or so to get his pistachio powder drink after hearing they were out of cacao to make their cacao cloud, which was his first choice. I managed to get a couple sips of the drink myself, and I gotta say it tasted heavily of both avocado and banana, both of which were ingredients. It was also bitter to the point where I couldn't tell which of the two was overpowering the other, like there was a heavy banana aroma masked by what I could only describe as a metal-like aftertaste from the avocado, perhaps? In general, it wasn't my favorite drink despite it having a ton of healthy ingredients and being protein-heavy, which I would otherwise need for my muscles after a workout. Maybe I need to try their other drinks or even their food sometime, because the price tag and taste of the pistachio powder didn't do well for me.

    I got an iced banana matcha dream and a booster shot here. The matcha was nice! There wasn't as much of a banana flavor as I'd expected, but it was very refreshing and had a pressed juice flavor to it? Not sure how to explain it. Highly recommend, though, it was great! The booster shot was good as well and went down a lot easier than most health shots!

    Menu

    The menu at Sano Kirkland is all about healthy and fresh options, from salads to acai bowls, pressed juices, and smoothies. It is good to see that they are really focused on wellness. I was deciding between the Ginger Sesame and Harvest salads but went with the Ginger Sesame and added marinated tofu. It turned out to be a great choice. Tofu from Sano is not a typica tofu you have seen. It is the "marinated" tofu which I've never tried before but it is definitely a game changer. The marinated tofu paired perfectly with the dressing. I cannot quite describe the flavor, but it was unique and a bit addictive. The portion size was generous, and I felt completely full after finishing it. For someone with a smaller appetite, one salad could easily be two meals. I also tried the Golden Roots pressed juice with pineapple, carrot, golden beet, Fuji apple, lemon, and ginger. It was refreshing and naturally sweet from the fruits. I could taste the freshness in every sip. Parking is mostly street parking, and while there are plenty of spots, it can get a bit tricky during peak hours. I will definitely be back soon to try the Harvest Salad and one of their smoothies. This is such a great addition to the Kirkland downtown area.

    Cesar with tofu
    Alexa D.

    Loved this spot! I headed over after a workout class and was so impressed. I am gluten free and vegetarian and found I could eat just about everything on the menu, which was amazing. I ended up getting the cesar salad with tofu, and my friend got the harvest salad with tofu. The toppings and portion sizes were generous! We also both tried the "pearadise" juices which were great. The servers were awesome! For being so new, they seemed to know the menu really well and our food came out quickly. It looks similar to the previous restaurant that was there. Pretty simple, clean. We sat outside and enjoyed the people-watching, but on a rainy or cold day I would have opted to take my food to-go. Will definitely be back for more juices and to try one of the toasts!

    I came here and tried both a juice and an açaí bowl. The juice was very refreshing and tasted fresh, but since it was the last day before expiration I could not help but wonder if the nutritional benefits were still fully preserved. The açaí bowl was enjoyable but it felt a little underwhelming in terms of toppings. A bit more variety and quantity would have elevated it from being just good to being something I would crave and come back for often. The staff was great, very helpful and efficient, and they made the whole experience pleasant. The space itself is clean and nicely designed, with a welcoming atmosphere. I especially appreciated that there is also an outdoor seating area, which makes it a really nice option when the weather is good. Also fruit were still frozen. Overall this place has a lot of potential. With a bit more generosity on the bowls and some assurance about the freshness of the juices, it could easily become a go-to spot for healthy options in Kirkland.

    Açaí bowls and harvest salad

    I was really sad about Homegrown but felt a bit better when Sano opened up in its place. Beautifully arranged açaí bowls, avocado toast, and salads!

    Great little spot for a healthy, quick breakfast or lunch! The dining room is bright and clean and lively. People are friendly and helpful. My God harvest salad was delicious and felt so healthy! They also have kombucha pressed juices and coffee and espresso.

    We had the salad, with ginger sesame dressing. Greens were fresh, sliced almonds were crunchy. Dressing was perfect. It came on a tidy compostable container. We also had the avocado toast. Nicely toasted slice of bread topped with creamy avocado. I added the chicken, nicely cubed chicken breast that was moist and had good marinade. It was served on one piece of toast. I've had it in other places where I would get 2 pieces of toast that had arugula and cherry tomatoes. Food is served in compostable containers even if you dine in. We drank 2 bottled juices, quite refreshing, but $9 each small bottle is a bit pricey. Some diners ordered the açaí bowl and they look good and seemed like a big serving. There's an order counter, where it's simple enough to place an order. The food came out quick enough. The space has soaring ceilings. The tables are spaced comfortably. There's a large patio outside with a lot of tables. The interior is painted plain white that exudes a clean, healthy vibe which compliments the menu and its mission. This is definitely not a cheap place. I'm thinking that anything nutritious and good for you involves a steep price. That is why I don't think this is a restaurant I would go regularly to. It's good, but I want more for my money.

    This review is for their drink only. I ordered the Banana Matcha Cloud (iced only) and their matcha is surprisingly so good! The drink is not too sweet and topped with real banana mixture. An unexpected place for a great matcha drink.

    Harvest salad

    My husband and I happened to walk by this place and decided to stop in since the menu looked interesting. I ordered the Harvest Salad, and he got the salmon bagel. His dish looked great and he enjoyed it. As for my salad, it had an interesting concept--especially the combination of sweet potato and fruit, which was quite tasty. Unfortunately, a large portion of the greens were wilted, and I had to pick through them, which was disappointing. Overall, it was edible, but not something I'd order again. I think the quality could definitely be improved.

    Just had an amazing brunch at Sano in Kirkland Everything's organic and grass-fed, served in compostable green containers. The avocado toast, egg toast, and chia pudding were all delicious--and the Mexican vanilla bean latte + matcha latte ...Incredible. Fast, friendly service too. Highly recommend!

    I ordered the steak plate! It tasted as good as it smelled!!

    Oh my goodness, if you get anything at DERU, GET THE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE PLEASE…read more It's been a few weeks since I've gotten it and I still think about that cake. (I haven't justified buying a whole cake for myself, but I truly want to--and am tempted to do so) The food is great and I'd love to go back. I went on a Monday, so it wasn't as busy as it would be on the weekend. The servers are kind, and you typically order from a QR code unless you're having a hard time (and they'll help you!). Quiet space. Some parking available on site but it can get busy on the weekends from what I've heard.

    Cute little place with good food and informal setting. Their dishes are pretty nicely thought out…read morebut oftentimes a number of them will be "out of stock" even leading into dinner time, but this is understandable if that's because they're aiming for freshness. What is not so great is that they've replaced human interaction and paper menus with a QR code based menu (annoying but becoming more common) and the only way to order is also through your phone (this is the part that is not common and really sucks). Been to DERU twice. First time my phone wouldn't let the order submit after polling everyone to put what they wanted into the "cart". Eventually some poor fellow who worked there had to use his little iPad and we all had to repeat ourselves to recreate the order after we'd already done the exercise on my phone. Second visit same thing- this time we had to recreate the order a few times on different peoples phones in our party until one of them could finally submit the purchase, and then they immediately started getting emails they weren't expecting as an outcome, their cell phone number was on our order ticket- so beware when you think you're just providing your credit card info- you're actually giving much more than that. We gathered for dinner to spend quality time together in real life and to get away from our phones but because of DERU's ordering system we instead spent the first 20 minutes of our dinner all on our phones. Then during the meal people would finish their glass of wine and want another- phone comes back out! This happened throughout the meal because, shockingly, people don't finish their glasses of wine at the same time, so all in all someone was pretty much on their phone close to the entire meal. Quite antithetical to the goal of human interaction and enjoying a nice dinner together. If they got rid of this ridiculous phone based menu and ordering system I would double my rating AND my tip. But at this point I may not come back for awhile.

    SWEETGREENS @ KIRKLAND…read more This was my first time visiting Sweetgreen in Kirkland, located in Totem Lake. Totem Lake is a great area to explore, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater all within walking distance. It's a nice spot if you're looking to spend some time around the Kirkland area. I've heard a lot about Sweetgreen, so I was excited to finally give it a try. The concept reminded me a lot of Chipotle since you can choose your base, protein, toppings, and sauces to create your own bowl. They also offer a variety of signature bowls if you don't want to build your own. Options included bowls with pesto, steak, and other combinations already put together for you. Unfortunately, my first impression wasn't the best. The staff didn't seem very friendly, and everything felt rushed. Since my dad and I were both first time customers, we weren't exactly sure what to order. It felt like we were being hurried through the line rather than being helped. For my bowl, I chose quinoa, romaine lettuce, and chicken. They had temporarily run out of chicken, but thankfully a fresh batch came out after only a few minutes, which I appreciated. I also noticed that the tables inside were pretty dirty, so we decided to sit outside instead. The outdoor seating was much more enjoyable anyway. As for the food, I thought it was good overall. I liked that everything tasted fresh and seemed to be made with wholesome ingredients. The vegetables were crisp, and the bowl felt healthy and filling. My biggest complaint was the chicken. It wasn't seasoned very much and tasted pretty plain, so I found myself relying on the sauce to add flavor to the meal. Overall, the food was decent, but the customer service and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. I don't think I would return to this particular location, but I'd be willing to give another Sweetgreen a try in the future, especially to test out some of their wraps or other menu options.

    What a disappointment! I was so disappointed in my whole experience at this trendy "healthy"…read moreeatery. The staff was not friendly at all. The selection was pretty good but the portions were small and not very tasty. The food and service was mediocre, at best, and three salads were almost $90. I cannot with good consciousness recommend this place to anyone. Way over priced and over hyped.

I also appreciated the seeded honey whole wheat bread, which added a bit more texture. That said, it still felt like something I could easily recreate at home, so it wasn't particularly memorable. The tomato basil soup was the highlight of the meal. It was creamy, slightly sweet, and paired well with the sandwich. Overall, the 1/2 sandwich combo was bit pricy for what I got. This location gets pretty busy. especially on Sunday afternoons. A group of us stopped by for lunch and had to wait a bit before we could push a few tables to fit everyone.

I got the combo - Hawaiian chicken + karaage requesting extra salad instead of rice, as well as a half order of loco moco. It's nice that there is half order as a lot of Hawaiian restaurants tend to be full orders so it is incredibly hard to try a variety of options if you're solo or in a small group. The Hawaiian chicken and karaage both are juicy and delicious. It's great that the combo is the same price as the standard individual options so I got to try more variety without paying extra. I looked at the reviews and opted to remove the rice and get extra salad which was a good move - their chop chop salad is very delicious with a nice balance of dressing, cheese, and ham. I still had some rice from the loco moco, which was sufficient for me. The loco moco is good - I wished the patty was a bit less tough but the gravy and egg make up for it.
