We ordered a bunch of dishes to share: Soondobu (soft tofu stew), Kalbitang, L.A. Kalbi, Seafood Pancake, Grilled Mackerel, the meal came with purple rice and an assortment of banchan. Every dish was made to order and delicious - our favorite dishes were the Kalbitang and Grilled Mackerel. Service was great, restaurant was nicely decorated, and spacious which was perfect for our little family. The owner of the restaurant stopped by at the end to check in with us and she was so sweet. If we are ever in the Bothell area in the future we will definitely stop by again!

Quintessential Chinese-American restaurant, exactly the flavor we were looking for…read more The orange chicken was super crispy, and the sauce was great with just the right amount of spice. Large pieces of dried orange peel scattered throughout the sauce, too. Spring rolls were also shatteringly crisp, with a very thin wrapper. Filling was mostly cabbage. BBQ pork fried rice had great wok flavor and the sweet pork was a nice addition to the meal. Both the hot and sour soup and the egg blossom were very good. Hot and sour had a strong soy sauce flavor and a good kick. I enjoyed the tofu strips. Egg blossom soup was very mild. Chow mein was nice and smokey with a good amount of sauce. My goodness was the serving portion large, too!! Mongolian beef was really tender. All in all, an instant add to our favorites- it's classics done right.

A buddy recommended this place to us as one of the best Thai spots in Seattle, and it definitely did not disappoint! The food was really good across the board. The curries were incredibly flavorful and rich, and the noodle dish we tried was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The interior is very nice, charming, and comfortable. On top of that, it is exceptionally kid-friendly, making it a stress-free and enjoyable place to bring the whole family for dinner. I definitely recommend Kataliya Thai House! The food lives up to the high praise, the space is great for families, and we will absolutely be back for more.

Maybe we'll try a 5 next time. The yellow curry was a bit more watery than we were used to but it went well with rice. The Thai iced tea was mostly ice, however we were able to request less sugar and we could taste the tea more. Service was great. They were friendly, accommodating and willing to help with questions. It has cute decor and nice orchid outlines around.

Squeeze as much into the XLB as you want and enjoy. It was DELICIOUS! Each XLB was filled with lots of savory juice. Kiddo Zoey's official review: double thumbs up for the XLB!

We arrived around noon on a Tuesday and were seated right away. Ordering is done through a tablet, which made the experience really easy and convenient, especially with photos and descriptions of each dish. Even on a weekday afternoon, the restaurant was pretty busy, which is always a good sign. And an even better sign when you see a bunch of elderly Asian people dining. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly and accommodating with my baby, which we really appreciated. Everything came out promptly, and we enjoyed our meal overall. Next time, I'd love to explore more of their steamed dim sum offerings. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

Plenty of parking in front across the small road. Entry through a revolving door was unusual (exit had a normal door option). We were quickly seated and ordering on the digital tablet was not difficult. We avoided the combos and ordered meats a la carte. Restaurant was clean and our booth was roomy. Ventilation was great, not smoky at all despite the bbq going on at each table. When the ban-chan came we thought they had given us the wrong order... there was so much in variety and quantity! Beef bone soup, potato pancake, namuru spaghetti, onion lettuce salad, fish cake strips, kimchi, and a gourmet-looking plate of sliced tomato with yellow pickled radish and yukke! Amazing! Service was attentive and friendly and our tea and ban-chan was refilled quickly on demand. Then the meat came and the quality was very high. Thick cuts and plenty of it. We order 3 meats for the 3 of us and we had leftovers to bring home. It was a delicious and satisfying meal indeed! This will be a new add to our regular family list :)

We ordered several appetizers, but they were the last items to arrive, which defeated the purpose of ordering them first. We also ordered rice, but it wasn't brought to our table until we asked about it after waiting quite some time. Since rice is a staple accompaniment to Korean BBQ, it was frustrating to have to wait so long for such a basic item. Overall, the service and organization need significant improvement to provide a better dining experience.

Went here for dinner on a Tuesday around 7 pm and got seated without much wait, which was great…read more One of the best things about this place is that they offer a full vegan menu, which is definitely a big plus. We started with the pumpkin tempura. It was crispy on the outside, with a naturally sweet pumpkin inside. It was really delicious. It came with a dipping sauce, though the portion felt quite small. The side of lettuce and a chunk of purple cabbage felt a bit odd presentation wise, but once we wrapped everything together and dipped it, it tasted great. For my main, I ordered the vegan herb tofu salad with medium spice. It was mostly fried tofu tossed in a herb dressing with mint, tamarind, and cilantro. The flavor was a mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy. It honestly reminded me a bit of pani puri. That said, the sweetness was a bit overpowering and made the dish slightly sticky. If they toned that down, it would be perfect. We also tried the vegan 17th curry fried rice, which was good. The curry flavor was subtle. My toddler absolutely loved it. Overall, I would recommend this place, especially for vegans. The food was good, with the only downside being that some dishes leaned a bit too sweet for my taste. The service was okay, not exceptional, but not bad either. I had visited this place about three years ago on a busy Friday night and had a pretty poor service experience, so I wanted to give it another shot on a weekday. The food has improved, and the service was decent this time around.

Nakagawa was our go-to place for great Japanese food. We would literally drive 35-40 min to dine…read morehere whenever we had the craving for sushi and bento boxes. Yet, it's disappointing to say that we've been sourly disappointed the last 2-3 times we came here. Not sure if it's management change or something happened, but Nakagawa lost its magic with us. 1. The service has been terribly slow and just not inviting anymore. After ordering, we waited easily 35-40 min for the food. I know it takes time to meticulously prep rolls, but after 30 min of just sitting and waiting, you can't help but start feeling hangry. And this isn't just a one-time occurrence - this happened multiple times for us. 2. The bento box quality. I LOVE bento boxes - it was such a treat to dine on so many different Japanese options, like a sampler box of goodness. Ranging from nigiri to sushi, from tempura to the soup, bento boxes have a special place in my heart. Yet, I feel like Nakagawa's bento boxes have sadly missed that mark. The protein (chicken teriyaki/katsu) tastes old and oddly mushy, and the portions are quite small, just leaving me wanting more. Don't get me wrong - the fish is still good. Solid place for seafood, paired with a lengthy wait. But Nakagawa just lost its touch with us, and driving that 30-35 min trek is not worth it for us anymore.
