Comfort food for those of us who remember some of our favorite Asian restaurants in the Southend of Seattle! We can usually get seated right of way. We ordered the garlic spareribs, which is always delicious! I ordered the Tomato Beef Chow Mein. Husband ordered a salad and a cup of chile. Brother ordered Tongkatsu. I was the only one who needed to take the left overs home. The place is casual. Watched the Mariners win against Houston! Grandchildren wanted to stay, but it was getting late. We always come back every couple of months. read more

We came here for a graduation party and were seated in the back room -- spacious, comfortable, and perfect for groups, with pool tables and plenty of room to hang out. The catered buffet was great: green salad, fried rice, chicken chow mein, karaage Chicken , and short ribs, all tasty and well‑seasoned. Parking is super easy with a big lot next to a supermarket. I checked the regular menu too, and the prices look very reasonable. I'd definitely come back to try their regular dishes when I'm in the area. read more

I've been here twice in two weeks trying to catch Prime Rib Night, which only happens every other Thursday. Best to check online (FB) or email ahead like I did to confirm. Overall, the food was okay for me--most dishes leaned a bit on the oily side. The smoked prime rib, though, is the reason I'd come back. We ordered it medium rare, and it exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. You can also swap for double veggies if you want to skip the rice, which is a nice option. Friendly staff, plenty of seating, and a large parking lot make it an easy spot to visit. read more

Terry's Kitchen serves a mix of Hawaiian and Chinese-style comfort food--kind of hard to categorize, but it works. It's decent overall and very reasonably priced for the area. I personally like their loco moco, which is the standout for me. The fried rice and chow mein are pretty bland and not anything special, but the service is always very kind and welcoming, which goes a long way. It's not a must-have spot, but definitely good once in a while when you're looking for something casual and affordable. read more

One more reason to love Terry's. In addition to the killer smoked prime rib on Thursdays I decided to give the Hawks Chicken Fried Steak a try. Could be my favorite in Seattle. So many places seem to serve up a semi-gristly kind of beef but Terry's was really nice. Not a tough chewy affair but a tasty one without all the extra work just getting it down. :D Add to that the always great drinks and we always go away happy. Enjoyed it so much that even though we were there to experience live music (highly recommended!) I grabbed an order to go. A+++ read more

Heard so much about this place over the years, but every time I've considered going, the menu wasn't appealing. Unfortunately, we did end up eating at this place under undesirable circumstances (a wake) and the food met our expectations. Just seemed to be a hodge-podge of asian "comfort" food, but without the comfort : ( read more

This was descibed as a comfort bowl with chicken, mushroom gravy and mash potato. I did get to choose my gravy but come on. This looked like a bowl of ceral gone bad and tasted like milk. There was no flavor and where were the mushrooms?? I came here because all of the reviews I read said it was so good but now I question how drunk everyone was. Save your money and dont come here. read more

Terry's Kitchen - Ts comfort bowl. What in the world is this? - Comfort Food Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

This eastside neighborhood eatery has been rocking it and the atmosphere harkens to a scene from the sitcom Cheers! Both the bar and restaurant vibes are quaint and offers great food and drinks! We had the daily special which was a country fried steak, potatoes and an over easy egg. We also had the wasabi baked salmon and fish & chips (subbed in tater tots). For those in the know they've taken some old school South Seattle favs like Imperial Lanes Bowling Alley, South China Restaurant and other ID's favs and incorporated them into their delightful menu. Don't forget a lime freeze! The service is always nice and they're very attentive to all their customers. read more

I just love this place! My husband goes here every week for pool and he buys me food while he shoots pool. Our favorite is the garlic spareribs. We also love the katsudon, meatloaf, and country fried chicken. Oh and the caramel toffee cake is amazing! Terry is just nice and cool. The staff is amazing and friendly as well! The place itself is very chill. I don't mind hanging out here while my husband shoots pool since the people are cool, the food is amazing, and the spot is chill. read more

I never knew this place existed until I attended an event there. The space is actually huge, so don't be fooled by the oddly small facia. The waitstaff were mostly awesome. The food wasn't what I was expecting, great for a vegetarian though. Keep this one on your list if you like that dive bar vibe on the Eastside. read more

I discovered this place through a Yelp event, and I'm so glad I did! This venue is genuinely impressive. Super entertaining, very welcoming, and just a great all-around experience. The bartender was amazing, and the cocktails were top-notch. The food was also excellent--Asian-inspired dishes in what felt like a cool mix between a restaurant, pool hall, and karaoke lounge. You can sit down for a proper meal, shoot some pool, sing your heart out, or just relax with a great drink. There's something for everyone. The staff, especially the bartenders, were incredibly friendly and made sure everyone had a great time. They made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Prices were more than fair for what you get--you really can't beat the value. And don't let the exterior fool you; the space is huge inside, with plenty of room to eat, hang out, or have fun. If you go, I highly recommend the short ribs--they were absolutely fantastic. read more

Walkable from my house, I brought my family for dinner. The menu, billed as "comfort food", delivers on that promise. Tater tots and crispy spare ribs warmed us up for tofu chow mein and chicken karaage. The meat dishes were the stars for me, as the spare ribs were tender but crispy at the same time, and the karaage was perfectly crispy and juicy. The portions are astounding, we took more home than we ate. Value was high. Service was very attentive and friendly. I would recommend Terry's to anyone looking for comfort in the bottom of a meat platter. read more

I've been here twice now and sad I didn't take a picture of my food before. So the first time I ever had Terry's kitchen was a few days after Saint Patty's day. And for some reason on their online menu, they still had corned beef and cabbage, and then when I got to the restaurant, they were like oh we are no longer serving that I'm so sorry which I was absolutely devastated because I love corned beef and cabbage and I hadn't had a chance to have any. So they had me wait a little bit and the chef managed to find a little bit of corned beef and make it for me. And the corned beef was phenomenal. The slices were cut really thick and it just melted in your mouth like butter. Everything else with the cabbage and then the carrots and the mashed potatoes were pretty basic and generally good but that corned beef was absolutely stunning. Service here can be interesting when it comes to waiters, like being ignored to over service. I came in and got a rare hamburger and added cheddar cheese and garlic tater tots which both were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I will keep coming here but I prefer to takeout vs dining in. It's lovely inside the place. But again you never know what you're going to get when it comes to your host/waiter read more

The freaking katsu! It was so tender and perfectly crisp! It's some of the best katsu I have had. I was able to try a few drinks but the one that sticks out to me was kur Collins and it was so refreshing! The staff were all friendly and attentive. I was honestly so surprised to see how large the space was. The outside is so deceiving! They had several pool tables. If you are looking for a large event space (up to 200) you should check this place out. read more

One of my favorite things in Hawaii is there fried rice. So very thankful to have it even closer. Also, I recently went back to Hawaii and had what I thought was my favorite rice and now I realize Terry's kitchen hands-down kitchen sink will always now be my favorite. They also make amazing fish and chips, salmon, with wasabi sauce, and the crispy chicken with almond sauce. It's all delicious. Great people with friendly service and ambience is clean and nice. read more

Decided to try a new place for dinner and this spot offered a good mix of variety and was not far away (great for me you'll see why). Located on the side of a small grocery store which is nice because parking is ample, a bit hidden but imo awesome because it's lowkey. After seating and looking over the menu my wife and brother in law decided to try out the "Sassy Chicken Wings" to share which I've read other reviews talking about the wings are pretty solid here and I am a wing-a-holic. They were honestly the best wings I've had in a long time. Sweet, tangy, sticky, crunchy and juicy.. my stomach rumbled as I wrote those last few words haha those are a MUST try if you stop by. For my entree I went with the Fish & chips which were great as well. Super fresh and juicy big fillets fried till a perfect crisp. My wife opted for the hamburger which has a good amount of add on options to customize it to your liking. She added a hot link which is not common and we're suckers for a hot link burger! Paired with some nice crispy fries tasted great! Nice spice with a great burger another solid choice. Brother in law got the prime rib dip sandwich with au ju, he said it was also great paired with fries. Personally everything was great and I'm happy that my wife decided to try this spot because it's our new go to. Those wings, nice and chill vibes with being pretty hole in the wall'ish meaning it's not crowded busy and over populated haha you can have a nice relaxing lunch or dinner and best of all support a small business that deserves every penny. Will DEFINITELY be back for more wings and also trying other delicious options! Thank you to the team at terrys kitchen! read more

The ambiance seemed ok and the wait staff were nice. The food was a bust unfortunately. The garlic chicken wings were extremely bland, I was missing my mac salad, and I paid to have my tater tots upgraded to cajun, but received them plain. Not to mention, I waited for an extra 20 minutes past the pick-up time for my online order, and the food still came out cooled down as if it had been sitting. I'd been wanting to try this spot for some time, sucks that it just didn't hit like I was hoping it would. read more

Karaage is tender juicy, breading is light and crispy, good umami flavor. Kalbi steak bites have a nice firm initial bite and tender, cooked perfectly. Both were marinated really well. They both paired with sauce but honestly doesn't need it. read more

So disappointed in this business. We have been loyal customers since Terry's Kitchen opened years ago. We loved dining here and bringing new customers with us to patronize this restaurant. The wait staff has always been super nice and friendly. However, most recently their entrees just aren't as good as they used to be. I think their kitchen cooks may be rushed and not paying attention to detail? We had ordered sandwiches with a side of tater tots. In the past, this was always a delicious entree. This time, the sandwich was super greasy as well as the tater tots. Oh my, I had to use two paper towels to sop up the excess in oil! As part of our order, we also had their beef chow mein. Just as the old commercials used to say "Where's the beef??" We literally counted 4 pieces of beef and about 8 cups of soggy noodles. I don't know any restaurant that only puts 4 pieces of meat into a large entree dish. Geez! Terrible! If you decide to patronize this place, be sure to avoid their beef chow mein. No one should pay $15 for a dish of noodles! read more

The food was horrible -- feathers on the chicken wings, frozen chicken fried steak. The eggs were OK, but other than that, really horrible. Service was good, not surprisingly, since the kitchen area was empty. People seemed to be having a good time in the bar, though. Do not eat here. Drinks were a little watery, but as I said, our waiter was nice, though he seemed nonchalant about the quality of the food. Based on what we ate, I'm sure he hears about it often. Maybe try the pool tables in the back, but if you're hungry, avoid this place like the plague. read more

Definitely a nice cozy restaurant. Yet it appears to have plenty of tables and chairs. I had the chili moco. They also have a loco moco. But there's lots of choices on the menu. They have a customizable burger, steak, fried rice, katsu etc. it's an eclectic menu. So there's many different food genres to choose from. The restaurant is unassuming and you'll be pleasantly surprised when you get inside. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food is done well and served up in a timely fashion. I will be returning and bringing others. read more

Over the course of the pandemic, I'd gotten takeout from here, and very recently I actually dined at the restaurant, and it was the first time I'd actually seen the place. First, I have to admit that I've only had Terrys prime rib special, both as takeout and when I visited. It's a screaming great deal for what you get, there are two different sizes to choose from, veggies and rice or mashed potatoes with au jus. It's cooked perfectly and every bite is smoked thru and through. Tbh it's my favorite place for prime rib, when I get the craving! Now, it's prob also going to be helpful for you to know that if ambiance is important, this is a seriously casual older place that has a pool hall in the back. It is located in a very old strip mall, and if I hadn't gotten the reco from another friend to try the prime rib, I probably would not have thought to give it a try. But, I'm so glad I did. His menu is seriously diverse but all home cooked, comfort food. He posts daily specials on Facebook so take a look there. The prime rib is usually on Thursdays! read more

Ordered the Almond chicken special last night and was disappointed by the small portion. It was advertised as having 2 pieces but it looked like 1 breast cut into 2 pieces. Maybe they're cutting the portion sizes which is a no-no in the food industry. Probably won't order again. read more

Honestly, we're shocked this place has a four star rating! We had decent expectations for this place since it has a four star Yelp rating and we love Hawaiian food in general! We came here to celebrate our friends birthday last weekend. We had a pretty large group so they sat us in their larger room which had the bar and pool tables. I ordered the loco moco which is usually my go-to for Hawaiian food, my husband got their house combo plate and we also got the kids grilled cheese sandwich for our son. The gravy on my loco moco was very bland which basically made my whole dish bland in general since that's where most of the flavor comes from. I didn't try any of my husbands food since honestly it didn't look very appetizing lol especially the noodles. He said his food was okay and compared the noodles the Safeway food court noodles.. the tater tots were good? And our friends ordered their wings which were fried well but also didn't have much flavor. read more

Feels like Hawai with a blend of many Asian favorites. The menu is extensive. You feel like family, full service bar, the owner Terri came out to greet and check on his guests. We had to get the famous garlic chicken wings along with the spareribs. I would highly recommend getting these as starters while you order your food. I enjoyed the salmon which was not over cooked. Service was wonderful, food came out hot. This place looks like a meeting place after an event. They have pool tournaments and live music on the weekends too. People were here post basketball games. Wished I lived closer to come every weekend. This is truly a community dining place. read more

One of my favorite spots for great Asian comfort food. We usually go to the bar because it's big and there's never a wait.

Looking for a late-night bite, we decided to try this restaurant, and while our server, Nia, was fantastic and the ambiance was pleasant--especially given how close we were to closing time--the meal itself didn't quite meet our expectations. We ordered a variety of dishes: Garlic Spareribs, Prime Rib, French Fries, Mac & Cheese, Fish & Chips, and a Hamburger with Fries. The Spareribs and Mac & Cheese were decent enough, but the other entrées left something to be desired. It's never a good sign when a kid is unimpressed by a hamburger, and unfortunately, that was the case here. That said, the service and atmosphere were highlights, so perhaps coming earlier in the day might make for a different experience. We're hoping for better luck next time! read more

Terry's Kitchen is a very memorable place. It's located in a shopping center and you walk into what looks like a small, somewhat non-descript restaurant. But when you slip into a corridor to the right side, you enter into a really large restaurant, sports bar, and big deal pool hall. Super friendly wait staff and huge menu, featuring a lot of Asian dishes. Definite Hawaiian influence here. We gorged on chicken wings and pork rib appetizers. I went for the Kitchen Sink Mix Up. What a great meal. I'm not a billiard guy, but I could tell that a lot of sharks hang out here competing hard. This must be the place to be if you're a serious pool table person. Easy shopping center parking. Love this place. Thanks Terry's! read more
