Had the beef gyro here. Beef flavored with lamb. Hit the spot, nice and simple. Top of my list for when I have gyro cravings. Better than the place inside factoria.
Not bad. Limited selection of dimsum, they didn't have any rice noodle dimsum, but had all the other standards. No tripe, etc though.
Nice interior, friendly staff. Definitely hits the dimsum-craving spot when I don't feel like driving out to Top Gun and waiting. Will come again, I hope their dimsum selection is expanded next time I'm there.
Cha siu bao had very little cha siu in it. The Cha siu so (pastry) was better.
They said they offer other noodle dishes made to order; I have to remember to check it out next time.

Currently my favorite burger joint. Better than Red Mill and better than 5 Guys.
The fries were perfectly crisp. Not soggy at all like 5 Guys or Red Mill. Burgers aren't as "messy" as Red Mill or 5 Guys either. The meat and flavors are excellent. I had the bigger burger Kailua style combo. I think it ended up being close to 12 bucks. Pricey for a burger combo, but well worth it if you're hungry.
Try to avoid rush hour because seating is limited and there will be a line.

Took my Audi here to get rotors and pads installed. I found this place via recommendations on Quattroworld. Patrick is friendly and will give his honest opinion. I also brought it in for an alignment, but once on the machine Pat said that I didn't need one. I waited in their waiting area and I saw multiple people come in and he gave his fair assessment on their situation and didn't push any products or services on them. Pricing is fair (cheaper than many places) and the work is holding up.
Small restaurant, may have to wait. It's like an updated take on hot pot where everyone gets their own mini cooked-for-you-already hot pot. The stinky tofu house special is delicious; may be noxious and offensive for those who aren't used to eating it.
Their smoothies/slushies are pretty good too.
Only complaint is that the stews/hotpots seem to lack meat, so be sure to get an extra side of meat. Maybe instead of ordering a drink, just get meat instead.

Came here for the pho. In short; pho broth was bland and sizes were overpriced. Spring rolls were fresh, so were the meats and condiments.
Maybe it's the fancy surroundings or location as the reason for the prices.
This restaurant wouldn't last if it were in Bellevue/Redmond and certainly not Seattle.
Now there's two poor pho places in Issaquah.
I'd give this place 3 stars if the prices were a bit lower and broth wasn't so clear and tasteless.
Update: No I did not have the chicken broth. I still stand by my review.

I don't eat $10 burgers very often, but this place definitely tasted worth it. The bacon jam was artery-destroying but ultimately worth it. I went early to the Redmond location on Wednesday and thankfully the line wasn't too long. The fries were delicious as well. A mobile gourmet-burger joint at its best; will come again for sure.
I'll have to change my XXX Drive-in burger review now...that place is crap for $10 burgers.
I definitely want to try the poutine next.

My favorite mexican food in the Seattle area so far. Great prices, nice and basic tacos, burritos, and tostadas and other traditional dishes.
Skip all the chains like Qdoba, Alcapulco (yummy salsa bar though), and bloody-underwear inducing Chipotle and come straight to this joint.
Cheap, filling and delicious, it can't get any better than La Venadita.

I just had Five Guys this past Saturday. The meat is thick and juicy but the burger overall is very sloppy. The buns were soggy and mushy, the fillings were good though. The fries were really boring and soft (both versions). Taste-wise it was above average, but the whole experience was a downer. In-n-Out still gets my vote for best 'fast' burger; too bad they aren't in the area.
The way Five Guys just toss everything into a bag with no thought makes it a mess as well. I wouldn't be surprised if I start seeing quotes from Yelp on their walls since they seem to quote any decent thing said about them from any rag.

Current CrushThe Office, Steve Carrell is mad funny, yo.
But ultimately fails the taste test. Tried two pizzas, a milkshake, cinnamon twists and they were all 'meh'.
-Pizza dough tasted stale and almost undercooked
-Cinnamon twists were the same, but with some drizzling of cinnamon sauce on it.
-Milkshake tasted like it was made with low-quality ice cream. Ice crystals were huge and made it obvious there was a lot of water in it.
Disappointing.
