Have to make a reservation in advance…read morebut they also do walk in's, would recommend coming earlier, around 11am (opening time) to walk in. They do cancel your reservation if you're 15 min late. 3 course lunch- appetizer, entree, dessert for $26 per person. I would say it's good value for the price! I love every dessert I've had here and the menu rotates every month or so. The chicken cream sauce pasta was so good and a very generous portion! Sometimes the appetizers can be a hit or miss but I've never been disappointed in the two times I've come here. Highly recommend trying this place out if you're a Microsoft employee/have a friend employee friend.

Great pizza. Be sure to dress to sit outside. Very good service. I will definitely be back.read more

I wasn't feeling like a big entree but I put together a fun little meal out of their falafel bites and tomato soup- both were really good. I appreciated that the service folks made sure I got some extra toasted bread with my soup. A coworker got the buttermilk fried chicken and it was an impressive serving. Also loved the extensive selection of whiskey, cocktails, and non alcoholic cocktails. Non alcoholic options really allow anyone to relax with a drink. But not me I had woodinville rye whiskey because it's a local fav. OH! They sell hotdogs here and that's awesome cause it's hard to find a good hotdog place- and these hotdogs are made of freakin waygu beef.

Chay Concept: Vietnamese Cuisine Reimagined…read more Chay Concept is a revelation. This is high-end Vietnamese, but not what you're expecting. If you're craving pho, look elsewhere--this is high-concept cuisine with flawless execution. The kind of place that challenges what you think Vietnamese food can be. Here's what makes it remarkable: it's entirely vegetarian with vegan options available. And somehow, that constraint becomes the canvas for extraordinary creativity. Both the food and drinks showcase genuine artistry--calling it a masterpiece isn't hyperbole. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or neither, this place deserves your attention. The inventiveness and technical skill on display transcend dietary categories. They've earned a customer for life. I'd suggest everyone experience what they're doing here at least once. You won't forget it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My mom recently had a 75th birthday and the woman loves a sweet treat! I know that when I would fly over from NY, this would be one of our first stops. I wanted to take both my parents out for coffee and dessert. Our waitress was an absolute dream. The service was so stellar that morning. Yes, we ate cake at 9:39 am but it was way after our breakfast and before our nice walk in downtown Kirkland. We looked at the desserts before sitting down. There was a tray of a rhubarb crumb that looked good. I asked for that and the chocolate cake. I ordered a large cappuccino, my dad an americano and my mom got a latte. While the coffees were being made someone came in and snagged the whole tray because of Mother's Day. We made a decision to get the carrot cake. Secretly I think my dad was hoping for a Carrot Cake. We enjoyed both cakes and the cake slices were huge! I love baking myself and understand ingredients are not cheap so I believe they are very much worth the price. The space was nice and clean. Everyone's food around us looked delicious. I will definitely be back to try out the food next time I come to visit.

Came here for a team lunch since I have a lot of vegetarian coworkers, and they picked this spot…read more As a non-vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised--I still felt really satisfied with the food thanks to their tofu and plant-based meat options. I ordered the mango mocktail and the banana curry, and both were delicious. The curry especially stood out. Rice isn't included by default, but there are plenty of carb options--you can add noodles on the side if you're not in the mood for rice. Portions are very generous, so come hungry. One slightly odd thing: they had space heaters running indoors. The overall temperature was comfortable, but the person sitting right in front of one was definitely feeling the heat. Service was very attentive and friendly, though not the fastest--dishes didn't all come out at once. It looked like there were only one or two people in the kitchen, so it's understandable. Overall, if you're vegan/vegetarian--or dining with a group that has dietary restrictions--and you're in Bellevue, this place is worth checking out.

I've been to Araya's a few times, so they were due up for a review…read more I came for lunch and was impressed yet again. I was in the mood for soup so I tried something new to me. I had the tom yum soup - 4 stars Not too spicy, they weigh she commented on the four stars made me think I'd regret it but I'm glad I went with four stars for spice and perhaps next time I'd even go to five star spicy. ($17) Old town Bellevue off Main has street parking and a parking garage. However, the area is very popular so parking can be challenging. Service was fantastic. When we came in, they acknowledged it was cold out and had one side of the restaurant that was warmer & offered any table to sit at.

We visited on a Monday for dinner and had a great experience. We ordered the Tofu Curry Bento,…read moreVegan Poppers, and the Death by Crunch roll -- everything was amazing. The tempura was perfectly crispy and delicious, and the vegan karaage in the bento was especially tasty. I'll definitely be coming back to try the karaage as a full plate next time. The space is small with only about six tables, but we were able to get one easily on a Monday evening. For vegans, this place is truly heaven -- so many flavorful and satisfying options. Highly recommend!

My husband had a craving for Sushi so we decided to try something different. We saw this on Google…read moreand decided to try it. The reviews were good and the pictures looked pretty good too. For an appetizer, we got the special which was a four piece crispy rice appetizer. It was pretty good. My husband and son liked them both but one was a little too spicy for me and the other I thought needed a little something more. But overall pretty good. I ordered the Chirashi bowl. The tako (octopus), seared tuna, sake (salmon), hamachi (yellowtail), maguro (tuna), tamago (egg), ikura (salmon roe), ebi (shrimp), hotate (scallop), and superwhite tuna in the chirashi were sliced nice and thick. Some places cut them thin but here the size was perfect. Not too big, not to small. Just right. My husband got the ultimate Bento and my son ordered the Tuna Bento. They both got sushi, tempura and salad in their bento. The tempura was super crispy and the perfect amount of thickness of the batter. My husband and son loved the tempura. Their sushi was really good and the cut of the fish was just the right thickness. This is a family business and the girls serving us we're really nice and checked on us often. I like supporting small family businesses so I definitely will be coming back and recommending this to my friends!

We ordered the Mediterranean Pasta, Caprese salad and Brownie. Unfortunately, the pasta was…read moreextremely overcooked but the sauce was quite good. It had a nice acidity to it. The tomatoes in the salad were a bit hard and bland but given the season that's expected. The brownie was a nice finish with a hot, soft center and ice cream on top.

Big servings, very flavorful! Other dumpling places should check this place out. The only thing we do not enjoy is our drink, lychee and passion fruit juice. It just tastes like sugared juice straight from the can. By the way, they will be part of the Seattle Restaurant week so it's a good chance to try them out. We enjoyed every dish we ordered: Peking duck, xiao long bao, beef roll, and green beans. Service is great. Richard was very good, and recommended dishes we should order It's a pretty place.

We had a really nice experience thanks to our waiter Erich, aka Harrison Ford. He is so positive…read moreand pleasant to talk to, and he knows how his clients think, which goes hand-in-hand with him being an excellent speaker and presenter. He was wonderful at making us feel comfortable with any decision based on the options that he offered us and as a detail-oriented person, asked how we liked things specifically. He was excellent at describing the dishes and we were really excited to hear about the awesome happy hours at Von's and just what Von's is really all about. Waiters usually ask once how you're doing, but Erich is great at checking in at key points throughout the meal. I can tell that he's a lovely person overall and a gentleman. Von's is very lucky to have him! The food is really great too. Pizza in general no matter where it's from is a treat, but the sourdough pizza here takes the cake (pizza?). Knowing that it's sourdough really elevates the experience. We also had the sourdough pasta. Every menu option sounded enticing, and we knew whatever we ordered was going to be good.

My wife and I had lunch at Von's 10,000 Spirits in Woodinville for the first time today, and we…read morewalked out wondering why we hadn't discovered it sooner. A big part of that was Dave, our attentive, friendly, and quietly confident waiter who made the whole experience feel like we were being welcomed into someone's home. Dave explained that everything at Von's is made from scratch, and he talked about the menu the way a good tour guide talks about a city: with enthusiasm, insider knowledge, and just enough charm to make you trust every recommendation. He steered us toward an appetizer of clams in tomato sauce. For the main course, he suggested the pasta with salmon. Both were excellent. Throughout the meal, Dave checked in at just the right moments--never hovering, never disappearing, always making sure we had what we needed. The kind of service that makes you feel taken care of without ever feeling managed. All in all, a terrific first visit, made even better by someone who clearly takes pride in the place. We'll be asking for Dave next time.
