Gyro Plate (hold the fries)
Michelle R.

We were craving gyros. When we searched in our area...lo and behold, Sunset Bistro popped up. I've gone by here twice a day for years. We didn't know what we've been missing. We ordered takeout during Phase 2 social distancing. When we arrived, they had good signage limiting patrons and excellent food safety rating. When hubs went in, our order wasn't quite ready, so he came out to wait. The owner popped out when it was ready - thank you. The gyro plate was soooo good. Generous portions of lamb, lots of pita, both tzatziki and hummus on the side. I opted for no fries, and was given a generous salad with a delicious range dressing. Portions were good sized. We were both stuffed. We were only sad we hadn't found this place dinner. I highly recommend it!

Came to first time at the Sunset Bistro Renton at dinner with my son on Wednesday. It's a nice atmosphere here and warm welcome to us. Menu is a very helpful to choose bcz pictures around menu. All foods are look good but we ordered #2. Tochiruna Pork & #13. Gyro Plate for lamb. Tochiruna Pork is fresh pork meat chicken liver smokey sausage crushed tomatoes ...saved with polenta. So delicious ! I enjoyed Gyro Plate for lamb. Great volume and easy food. I'd like to try some more next time!

Chicken (Schnitzel)

Have you ever wanted to experience Romania in Seattle/Renton? This is the SPOT!!! Florin and Family are an experience and we feel at home here and it's why we go back. Whole Foods made by hand and with Love. We love their Tripe Soup and I don't even like Tripe. Lol.... At Sunset Bistro they make the best tripe soup I've ever had and we always order every time we go. So today we tried something new as we love their Chicken (Schnitzel) and this time our boys had that and we had the Lamb Pastrami and it's the best Lamb I've ever had. Everything was delicious and the 32 Oz Mac and Jack to wash it all in was awesome!!! Also try their homemade breads and deserts. Made with brown sugar and we feel great when we leave knowing we had food made with care and whole ingredients. Thank you!!!

Had a great experience here! The mititei (skinless sausage) was deliciously juicy! The mamaliga (polenta) was savory and warm. My favorite was the tripe soup. Server was friendly. Loved the Romanian decor.

Smoked pork and beans soup
Huong L.

After a long day if hiking we we're in need of food and my friends, who are Romanian, wanted to check this place out. I never had Romanian food before so I was going in blind, but my friend says that the food here is very authentic and that it's as good as it get. We ordered the three soups they had which was the tripe, meatball, and smoked pork. We also had an order of pork stew and cabbage rolls. The soups came out first and after sampling all of them, I couldn't decide what my favorite was. They were all unique in their own way. The tripe soup was creamy and rich, the meatball soup was tart, and the pork was heart and savory. The meat was very tender and tasty as well. The soups also came with bread for you to dip with. The cabbage rolls was super tasty, it was soft and tender and flavorful. The pork stew was similar. It came with pork, liver and sausages. Each of those dish also came with a side of polenta and the polenta was very different from what Im use to. They are thicker and stickier. Everything tasted really good. Portion was good, service was good, price was good. Overall, I would definitely come back to try other things here

Lamb Gyro
Arianna O.

Sunset Bistro was absolutely delicious. My friend and I went here for lunch and we have both always wanting to try it but never have been. We showed up and were greeted by the owner. We both ordered the lamb gyro and it did not disappoint! We've been craving gyros since the Gyro House left the landing and I am so happy to share that these were 100% better! Highly recommend you give it a try. I can't wait to go back and try more things!

Citron European Bistro

Been here many times and well worth the drive from University Place where we live…read more The menu has expanded along with the wines available. The ambiance has increased from a 6 to an 8 or 9. The food and presentation has remained a solid 10 out of 10. We enjoyed 2 appetizers, 1 salad that we shared, 2 entrees 2 deserts, 2 coffee's and 1 bottle of a very nice Southern Rhone wine for a price that was at least 1/3 less the cost of their value. Lamb shanks and duck breast in a reduced cherry sauce that was perfectly prepared, presented and served. I am very particular about duck even if you can find it on a menu. It was a 12. If you miss this dining experience you lose. This is European chefing at its finest. In Parkland no less. A 3 or 4 times a year type of fine dining place. Yes, we eat out often and know our stuff.

Seriously wonderful! Citron is such a hidden gem here off 512 between Tacoma and Spanaway. The…read morefusion menu is beautiful! It is full of unique flavors, classic dishes, and lovely presentation. The service was excellent, our server being kind and attentive. She was warm and was sure to check on us, but didn't overdo it. There is an excellent selection in every course - even toting es cargot, which is not easy to find in these parts. The bread with the leftover garlic butter was heaven! We enjoyed a little of everything, sharing dishes and having plenty left over to take home! The bistro ambience was wonderful and inviting, if a little cheesy (in the best way). We will be back to try more of their menu soon! Can't wait!

I love Caravan Kebab - the owners are in the kitchen and ensure everything is fresh and delicious…read more The "caravan" is because the make a variety of Mediterranean and Indian dishes - there's hummus and there are mango lassis. The chicken tika masala puts every other version I've had to shame, rich with visible herbs. The rice is fluffy, the meats are well seasoned. I love the lamb! The owners check on diners and are happy to explain dishes. The walls are adorned with beautiful fabric tapestries and the interior has a cozy feel. Most of the dishes they make are inherently gluten-free and they are thoughtful about labeling.

I crave Mediterranean food from time time. I heard this place reopened and offers lunch buffet…read more 3 of us visited for lunch on Saturday with no reservation. We were seated right away. There were a few other people at 11:30am We asked if they do lunch buffet as I didn't see any self serve food. The staff said they offered in the past but not today.. it might come back in 2 weeks? We ordered hummus, garlic naan, fish masala and special kebabs without lamb which was accommodated per our request. The food even the side veggies were really good, we all liked everything. I like this place for good quality fresh ingredients that I don't feel overstuffed. It's probably because the food is easy to digest? This doesn't happen with other Mediterranean and Indian food. I'd like to come back when they start lunch buffet again.

Came with my husband on a Saturday evening for date night…read more The ambiance of this spot is really cute and cozy. Very intimate and perfect for a date. They have two tasting menus (omnivorous and vegetarian) which I appreciate. We both chose the omnivorous. Portions are tiny but there's a lot of courses. A huge downside for us was how long in between courses there was. We were getting pretty hungry at one point and our conversation fell into a lull because we were just eager for food lol. The experience was around 3.5 hours. It would have been a lot better if it stuck to 2 hours. Maybe 3 max. Food was beautifully presented and quite tasty though!

Eating in the small kitchen while watching Chef Zac and Ben plate up the food, asking him how he made a specific dish was such a unique experience. He makes everything sound easy to make, but the presentation and flavors were unreal. Our favorites were the wagyu tartar, black cod and corn soup. At one point when we had the first bite of the wagyu tartar, my husband turned to me and said, "This may be the best bite of food I've ever had." Enough said. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. Just go here. You won't regret it. Thanks to Zac, Ben and Sheady for making our anniversary an unforgettable one.

If you don't want to read to the end, the…read moreshort vers = I came here to celebrate my 40th bday, and we paid premium prices for a frankly awful meal that left my bf with food poisoning. The more detailed vers: I found this place on Yelp, but had never visited before. I was SO excited by the glowing recommendations, so my bf and I decided to choose it to make my 40th bday dinner special. - First clue something was off was the place was dead. We were the SOLE patrons there on a Sunday night! - My mandarin basil mocktail was quite literally a glass of grapefruit juice with a single basil leaf on top. - We ordered crispy brussel sprouts as an appetizer; not only were they not crispy but they were near raw? Tough, undercooked brussel sprouts lol what - My main was paella, it was...fine...not terrible but they were super stingy with the seafood, there were only 2 meager chunks of chicken, 3 tiny scallops and like 3 shrimp in the entire dish. Keep in mind these plates were fine dining prices; the ingredients here likely cost dollars, at best - Bf's steak was overcooked It was bad enough where I politely said something to the waitress which I NEVER do and she apologized and said their lead chef called in sick so all they had was a chef in training. Anyway that was all fine, we laughed it off at the time aa bad luck. But yesterday my bf's stomach was upset the whole day, and that my friends was the final straw to push me to write this review. To the restaurant owners: it's one thing to have a mediocre dinner, who cares; but we paid high prices to be served crummy food, have a special night be disappointing and then to get sick afterward? That's not alright. I will say, the service was great and the staff very polite so it pains me to write this but it felt necessary.

We went to Pimienta Bistro for my birthday dinner, and it was a wonderful experience…read more We started with the Rustic Bread served with olive oil and balsamic reduction. The bread was perfectly baked, delicately salted, and the balsamic was so good you'd be tempted to drink it. My husband ordered a Dark and Stormy, but the first one tasted like it was made with vodka instead of rum. Our server was kind and professional about it, and the replacement cocktail was much better. I had the Basil Martini, which was fantastic, herbaceous, refreshing, and easy to sip. For dinner, I ordered the Duck Confit, my favorite dish on the menu. It was beautifully presented, tender, and full of flavor. My husband had the Pan-Seared Scallops with polenta cakes and lobster-truffle beurre blanc, and he said they were delicious. The atmosphere added to the experience. I liked the artwork, and the music hit all the right notes. We were greeted and seated right away, and the service stayed attentive throughout the evening. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and presentation make it worth it. This is my favorite restaurant in Federal Way and always feels special every time we visit.
