Wow!!! An unexpected restaurant in an unexpected location!!!! We thought it was just going to be a run in the mill dinner until we looked at the menu.... Himalayan Food!!! We sat outside to a nice well covered patio. Lots of room and not crowded. The patio overlooks a beautiful meadow. The inside is nice too. With real Mount Everest gear on display. We had the Chicken Thali, Pork Momos, and Papadum. The food was out of this world!!!! Good food is hard to find in Washington State. We are soooooo glad that we found this place. The staff were nice and friendly. The prices were very reasonable as well. We WILL be coming back here again!!!! read more

This restaurant is super unique bc they serve Himalayan food along with classic American foods. We come here every time we visit mt rainier since it's close to the entrance to Paradise. The food is flavorful and cooked to perfection. During previous visits, we've ordered onion rings and burgers which were fantastic. Service is quick and they have lots of infographics on the wall!

At the outskirts of Mt. Rainier national park, is this gem of a place. They are always packed and parking is hard. I feel like we got the last spot of the day and ordered in the last 35 mins before it closes. In $73, we got: - pork momos - 5/5- 8 pcs with yummy dipping sauce (contains sesame). Loved the good quality meat and flavorful dipping sauce. - chicken thali - 4/5- it comes with rice, yellow lentil soup, salad, pickle and chicken curry. The chicken curry and pickles were the best. I wish they reduced quantity of rice and added a roti/ bread as an option - berry pie and ice cream - 5/5- the pie was warm and gooey and it paired perfectly with the vanilla scoop ice cream. Huge portion size. Definitely to share! - chicken burger - 4.5/5- organic good quality chicken breast with yummy toppings. It was amazing. Only thing missing was good hot sauce to go with it. It comes with fries. Loved it!! Service was friendly and quick. Outdoor seating was pleasant. read more

This is a really intriguing Nepalese/American restaurant located right outside the west end of Mt. Rainier National Park. It's owned by a famous Sherpa, who has a small section of the restaurant as kind of a museum to display his accomplishments and allow guests to purchase merch. The restaurant offers free wifi, which was unexpected! I thought it would be empty when we visited for linner at 3PM, but they actually had a decent number of customers inside. Chicken Thali ($22.99) - Quite an array of small dishes comes with this meal. Firstly a bit of lentil dahl, taking inspiration from the link with India. Flavorful with turmeric, allium, curry, cumin, and other spices, smooth and easy to eat. There's a kind of carrot and pea slaw, quite spicy actually, and also pleasingly piquant. Fresh veggies fill another side tray, and finally we run into the main two dishes. Firstly, perfectly cooked basmati rice, moist but with a nice tender yet firm texture. There's then boneless chicken thigh chunks in a very flavorful gravy that seems to be tomato based and seasoned very well. This is stewed, so it's a bit dry, but the gravy and rice make a great accompaniment. (4/5) Sherpa Stew ($15.99) - Very vegetal and meaty tasty stew. It's a thick stew with tons of ingredients packed inside, including carrot, onion, and celery hand chopped into larger chunks. They veggies are softened but not mushy at all and instead still have a bit of a body. There are also green beans to round out the veggies, and then for the meat a good number of beef chunks. The soup is thickened into almost a gravy. I think it's mirepoix and tomato based, but I'm not certain. Regardless of ingredients, it's very flavorful. Overall, it's a very hearty homestyle stew, which seems especially great for after a long winter hike. (4/5) Pork Momo ($15.99) - These seem to be homemade dumplings, with a thicker chewy wrapper, not doughy, and with a great pleating technique that ensures an even cook throughout. The filling is a compact, dense meatball, juicy, with the flavor of cumin, pork, and aromatics. The momos are served with a tomato chutney that also seems to be homemade. It's blended but still a bit chunky. It tastes a bit like garlic, full of balanced umami, without any of the strong acidity from fresh tomatoes. The momo pleats catch the sauce perfectly when dipped in upside down. (4/5) Wildberry Restaurant was certainly a fun place to stop by for linner after hiking near Mt. Rainier! Considering that it's one of the very few restaurants in the area, it seems like a no brainer to visit for some good grub. Bathrooms - Two rooms that require code, which can be found on the back of the drink menu. read more

Delicious Nepalese & American restaurant just minutes outside Mt. Rainer park! We stopped here just before closing after a day at Mt. Rainer, and were seated right away. We sat outside on their large covered patio. Service was very fast and the food was good - I got the Chicken Thali. The chicken was tender in a delicious curry, and the lentil soup that came with was perfect for a cool rainy day. Would recommend for anyone stoping for dinner on the way out of the park! read more

Was staying across the street at Alexander's lodge. This is one of the only decent options nearby. So decided to give a try. They have indoor and outdoor (covered) seating. The server helped is get a table quickly. Ordered a few things. It took some time for the order because the restaurant was packed. 1. Fish and Chips: These were decent tasting and the fries were nice and crunchy. 2. Veg Thali: It came with chole (chickpea curry), rice and dal (lentil soup). Everything was tasty. 3. Dal (lentil soup): Kids basically ate this with a side of rice and they liked it. Overall the food and service were good. read more

Restaurant outside of Rainier National Park that serves burgers and Nepali food. The place is usually packed during meal times and is owned by a Sherpa mountaineer who has submitted Mount Everest many times. He even holds a world record. Service was prompt and efficient but not quite friendly. The food was a bit costly since it is in a semi-remote area but pretty good tasting. I recommend getting rice with the Sherpa stew for a filling hearty meal. I had leftovers. The chicken thali comes with some pickled and raw vegetables, rice, and lentil soup. The soup was good. The chicken was ok. read more

Wildberry Restaurant - Delicious burger - American Near Me - Ashford, Washington

This place popped up when I was searching for nearby restaurants with vegan options, so my friends and I dined here after a long day at Mount Rainier National Park. There was a little bit of a line, so we barely inched in before they stopped taking customers. First impressions is that this definitely has a mom and pop feel. We sat in a rather crowded patio, undoubtedly most of the diners were tourists much like us. The service was fairly prompt, and the food was decent. I will say that my Vegetarian Thali could have had a tad more salt, but I felt pretty nourished satiated. I think my companions felt similarly about their dishes. We were happy to have a little mix of vegetables and fresh ingredients after dining on snacks all day long. I only realized this upon leaving and looking at the restaurant website a week later, but this place is owned by well known sherpa (Lhakpa Gelu - he holds record for fastest ascent of Mount Everest) and his wife. They have a little nook displaying his mountaineering equipment and certificates and news stories documenting his amazing feat. read more

Very close to the Longmire visitor center before entering the park, this restaurant has a variety of American, Nepali and vegetarian food. Parking was overflowed to the street. Seating was in a shared table though they have smaller tables as well. There is indoor & outdoor seating. Food came relatively quickly. There is a lot of history here with memorabilia of treks to Mt Everest & Mt Rainier. For vegetarians, there is a Thali & samosas. The staff were quite busy & did not talk much- they were clearly working hard & fast, but you can get a good meal here. read more

We love this little spot near the Mount Rainier. The Sherpa stew & Momos are a must every time we visit!

Food: a mixed bag. The Sherpa stew was tasty and comforting. I ordered rice with it, which made it more filling after a long hike. My boyfriend's Summit burger was gross--three nasty, previously frozen patties. The fries that came with it were decent. Service: a bit slow and inattentive. I asked for some more hot water for tea, and it never arrived. Ambiance: the interior smells moldy, so we sat outside. The seats are super uncomfortable out there. All and all, this is an "okay" place. There aren't many options in the area, so it's better than nothing. If you stick with the Nepalese dishes, you'll likely be pleased. read more

We stayed in Ashford for 4 nights to see Mount Rainier so we got to sample most, if not all, restaurants that are available in this small town. Out of the 4 we tried, Wildberry was my second favorite. I got the pork momos and they were so comforting, especially after a long day at Mount Rainier. The ground pork was really tasty and I liked that the dumpling skin wasn't too soft from being steamed. The sauce that came with the dish was a little thin, but it still added flavor. The fries were also pretty spot on as they had a nice crispy texture and a good amount of seasoning. Unfortunately, I found their blackberry pie to be way too sour, which makes me question their ripeness. We got it with vanilla ice cream, and it was an absolute necessity to have sugar to balance out the sourness. Despite the good food, the service wasn't the friendliest, which was pretty in line with the overall customer service we got during our trip to Mount Rainier. The hostess was a little unfriendly and hostile when she greeted us, but at least our server was pleasant. Compared to other restaurants in the area, I preferred the food at Wildberry over Paradise Village Restaurant and Rainier Basecamp Bar and Grill. read more

Surprisingly solid experience. Quick service, food prepared fast, and lovely tent-covered outdoor seating. Enjoyed the samosas and the Caesar salad. The hamburger was solid and great seasoned fries. Only slight disappointment was the crust on the marionberey/blackberry pie, and that it was $9 a slice. read more

Sadly had a pretty negative experience here recently. We'd been excited to see this option near Mount Rainier national Park and we came around 6:30 on a busy weekend. the restaurant was active, but definitely not full. The staff member that sat us was very brusque, and put us at a table inside. There seemed to be a nice outdoor patio area so I asked if there was a table available outside - she kind of snapped at me and I couldn't totally understand her, but I think she said big tables outside? I understand if there wasn't space for us due to restaurant constraints, but didn't appreciate feeling chastised for asking. As others have mentioned, the price is on some of the food is high, but I get that they are operating in a region with not that many other options. We ordered a burger and the veggie thali, which to their credit came out quickly and was decent. While we were waiting, the table next to us was telling us that they had also asked if there were available tables outside, but had been directed inside, whereas we saw many active couples being sat outside almost right after we walked in. Noticing that a few two times had left, we asked if we could move outside while waiting for our food, to a different staff. Member responded 'your food is coming soon' - which is fine, but shouldn't really affect where we sit? All of the interactions made us feel pretty unwelcome there, and we basically ate our food ASAP and left. We were thinking about trying some dessert but didn't really wanna stay. The last thing that felt oversold was that Vitale is listed as coming with some vegetables, and there was literally one single baby carrot, and one broccoli floret on the plate. We wouldn't recommend this to others. read more

Enjoyed Nepalese food here, awesome food selection in an area with limited variety. Recommended

Yummy food, fast service - we definitely went for the Nepali specialties and it was fresh and very flavorful!

This is the only desi food option in Ashford and they only have like 4 options - samosa, chicken/veggie Thali, momos, Himalayan stew. They used to have more options in the past as per my friend, but I guess they have streamlined their menu now. We didn't have any of the non-desi food, so this review is not for that. The Thali was good, but it only comes with rice, dal and some veggies. There is no roti/naan option. The chicken curry was very good. I just wish the Thali had more options. The stew was good too but it was a little bland for me. The samosas were fine. The food isn't bad for sure, but it isn't the best out there. They definitely have the monopoly on desi food in the area. Service and ambiance are fine, nothing exceptional to write home about. read more

We arrived late--7:30pm--on a Monday after hiking up to Carter Falls and back along the Wonderland Trail in the late afternoon, so we were tired and hungry; but we knew they'd be closing soon (8pm). We were seated right away and quickly determined we'd try the Nepali & Himalayan dishes: papadum as an appetizer to share four ways, chicken thali (ordered by 2 of us), and Himalayan stew with sides of basmati rice (ordered by the other 2). We thoroughly enjoyed both dishes, which were shared among the 4 of us. They were piping hot, just a little spicy, and very filling. After slowing down, and wanting to leave room for the legendary Marion blackberry pie, we got the last of our leftovers to go. Then we devoured a piece of the phenomenal pie with a heavenly flaky crust and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed a display about the owner's climbs of many of the world's tall peaks, including Everest (Guinness World Record for fastest climb), Denali, Mt. Rainier (95 ascents), and others. I would describe the ambiance as busy and bustling--we did not expect a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The focus seemed to be on delivering food to their many guests as quickly as possible. And at that they are quite successful! read more

I've eaten at Wildberry probably six times, a factor of living close to the restaurant. They're only open during the summer and summer adjacent months (May-October) and have an assortment of both Nepalese and American foods available. I've frequently ordered their Thali, an assortment of Nepalese menu items centered around your main dish choice (chicken, mushroom, or lentils) and rice. Every time I get the Thali, I wish I liked it better - it's served on a tray with a variety of items so it's novel and fun, but there's nothing special about the taste and I'm surprised at how much they charge for it. I'm ashamed to admit but I find their burger the best item on the menu. For appetizers I often opt for the Samosas (which I like better than the Pappadum), and the Momos are good as well. Inside you'll find a bar, some seating, and a cool display of the owner's mountain climbing gear while outside they set up a large tent with more tables. It's a casual spot with a majority of their clientele either going to, or coming from the park. There is often a wait around dinner time on the weekends with people coming down from the mountain looking for a meal - particularly in peak summer. read more

We had no idea what to expect as the menu looked like it was a catchall for all the foods (they offer burgers, fish and chips but also Nepalese food) to satisfy those passing through Ashford... We were pleasantly surprised! I'll admit I was bummed there weren't any vegetarian momo's but there was plenty here for everyone to enjoy. For our first "real meal" after camping for two nights, this was an over-the-top treat for sure!! The patio was nice and open, totally welcoming large groups. Our party of 9 had plenty of space to grub here and the owner really made us feel like we were guests in his home. Super sweet & friendly man! Here's what we ordered: Fish & Chips: pretty standard but the battered fries are actually the star here. We ordered extra fries after trying these! Sherpa Stew: 4 people in our group ordered this. There were no leftovers. Needless to say this is a must try! Samosa (vegan/vegetarian): Super flavorful and fried to perfection. Served with house-made tomato chutney which we ended up asking for more so we could eat with everything else we ordered. Yes, the fries were dipped in this as well! Mushroom Thali (vegan/vegetarian): My cousin ordered this one and found the chunky mushrooms a bit offputting. She was expecting pre-sauteed and slightly cooked down mushrooms vs the chunky and less cooked style. She polished off the lentil soup though. If you're into chunky, not-so-cooked down mushrooms, this is for you! Chickpea Thali(vegan/vegetarian): I ordered this. The chickpea stew/curry wasn't as flavorful as some I've tried but this could also be attributed to the difference of how Indian curry is made vs Nepalese stew. Still tasty and satisfying but I did wish it had more oomph. The lentil soup was super good tho! I didn't touch the pickles included more bc I personally don't like that tart flavor that is predominantly found in that kind of pickle (sorry I don't know what that flavor is called... it's very specific to Indian pickles tho). Not for me but the veg looked fresh and would be tasty for someone who enjoys that flavor. Chicken Thali: Forgot to get feedback on this one. There weren't any leftovers if that counts for anything! *note on the Thali: This didn't come with any breads (roti/naan/papadum) so the rice:curry/soup ratio was a bit overwhelming. Not a bad thing, just something to note. Burger: Standard. Probably would advise ordering something more special if you're adventurous. If not, this burger will not disappoint! Papadum x 2: flavorful & crispy. Since I'm from Fremont, CA (blessed with an abundance of Indian restaurants) this is a familiar side dish. We broke these chips and enjoyed them with everything we ordered also, and it comes with that tomato chutney too! Mango Lassi: Cousin ordered this and got super full off its decadence. A must try! Marionberry pie (vegan): I was ready not to indulge in dessert since most restaurants typically do not offer anything vegan-friendly (and I'm ok with that). To my surprise, this pie was actually vegan since the restaurant uses vegetable shortening to make their pie crust. We ordered a whole pie which was more than enough for our group. The kitchen cut the pie into 8 even slices for our table. Since we had 9 in our group, the owner came back with a butter knife so we could make extra slices. He insisted on cutting the pie for us. The entire exchange was really funny as it reminded me of being at a relatives' house for dinner, and they're wanting to be a good host and not letting you lift a finger. I absolutely enjoyed our meal here. The service was fantastic although the owner's speech was a bit difficult to understand so be ready to have your listening ears on. The portions were generous and the pricing reasonable. If we ever find our way back to Ashford, we'll be sure to come back here for another meal. read more

Food service came out fast and was delish! If you're in the area and hungry--this is the place to go! There aren't many food options outside Rainier and our housing was a four minute walk. Initially, we were pretty sad to not see lots of food places besides American cuisine. This spot has both. For those feeling grilled cheese, fries, burgers--they have on one side and on the other they have a Himalayan menu. We got the pork momo, stew, and chicken thali...and their homemade Marionberry pie with ice cream! The momo came with a cold tomato like dip and it tastes like East Asian pork dumplings with a curry twist. The stew was full of vegetables like carrots green beans celery and potatoes plus beef--it has a unique flavor--that tastes hearty and distinct. The chicken thali tasted more authentic to Indian food with basmati rice, aachar, and ofc red onion. We asked for more sauce and more red onion and together with the chicken it was amazing! You need the combo :) there is indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of seating. We were seated quickly and lots of Himalayan decor. read more

Wildberry is the only restaurant in Ashford that is reliable, has variety in their menu, and has good food. We stopped here on the way to Mount Rainier, and got the chicken thalis as well as the wildberry pie. We were surprised to see Nepali food out there, and even a little skeptical as to how the food would taste, but were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the meal after a long day. Although it wasn't the best Nepali food we had, it was way beyond my expectations! The pie itself is the reason I'd give 5 stars :-) They gave us a big slice, full of berry, super flaky, and served with ice cream. It was simply the best. Enough said. Definitely give this a try. After a long day of driving or hiking, it is exactly what you need! read more

One of the best places to dine in the area! My review is a bit late, as I went to Mt. Rainer last October, and the place closed down during the winter. So, I waited until they are open again to finish my review. My bf and I came here after a long rainy, windy, hiking day at Mt. Rainier. We yelped for a place for dinner (not much choice really) and went to Wildberry. I also recently went to Nepal (well, the end of 2019), so I was pleasantly surprised to see a Nepalese restaurant in the middle of Mt. Rainier, I might, it is random but at the same time, not really random. The staff are so nice and the food is so delicious! It brought back so much fond memories as I was eating my food. I also learned that the owner used to be a guide for hikers in Nepal, at Mt Everest, and he moved here and became a guide at Mt. Rainier. Inside the restaurant he kept and displayed all of his mountaineering gears, it is so cool! I highly recommend this place, not only will you get a wonderful authentic Nepalese meal, but you can also learn more about mountaineering! read more
