Home of the $50 donut.

The donuts are great, but the parking is terrible.  The garage parking is now run by Diamond, who aggressively ticket.  So, if you want a $50 donut, stop in.  Otherwise, find a different location.

Hours on Yelp are wrong.  They routinely close and turn out the lights even with cars in line at the drive-through.

• First to Review

Latest addition to the Sammamish fast food landscape, and so much better than the Taco Bell that used to be in the building, with an attentive staff that accurate fills orders without unpredictable delays.

And how can you go wrong with Blizzards?

So much matcha.  You definitely need to like the flavor.  I suggest the soft-serve matcha in a waffle cone, add chocolate cake to it to get a smaller taste of that.

I'm not a tea person, not a big fan of mochi, and didn't come for a meal, just for dessert.

It's all about the burgers - my choice is a Shack Burger, double patty.   (The fries are fine, but remind me of Ore-Ida crinkle cut fries from my childhood - better than what you would find in a school cafeteria, crisp enough, but otherwise not that exciting.)  I've been to Shake Shacks in various cities around the world (London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, etc.), this one is just like the rest.

The Concretes (frozen custard with various items mixed in) are good too, if you can handle the calories.

I had a wafel with Nutella.  It was good, but it should have been cooked longer - seems that the worker was rushing the process too much to deal with the long line on a nice day near the corner of Central Park.  Ideally the wafel would be at least somewhat crispy on the outside.  Personally, I prefer Liege waffles after they have cooled down some, so that the sugar pearls harden somewhat.

It's a good thing that I don't live in New York City - having a place like this nearby would probably cause me to gain several pounds.  I like any sort of iced cookie, and the cookies and creme and red velvet cookies are really good.

Standard pub fare, good fish and chips.  I just struggle with ordering at the bar when the place is really busy - there's no order to the ordering.  And I still need to get used to the system (order drinks and food at the bar, take the drinks, food will be brought to you - but ideally you already grabbed a table before you ordered).  Good atmosphere, watched a football match with a bunch of Liverpool fans while there.

I've been to their restaurants in New York City and Las Vegas - really good burgers.  And I've even been to this one in Covent Garden before, last year.  They've never disappointed before.  But this time was different: the burger was served lukewarm (like it had been sitting around for a while).  Battling the zoo to get a replacement is not worth the hassle.  I'll stick to NYC and LAS.

I typically eat the same thing at every teriyaki joint that I visit: spicy chicken breast teriyaki, no rice (trying to stay low-carb as possible).  They'll provide extra salad instead of the rice.

The food is good overall.  The spicy teriyaki sauce is a combination of the standard sweet teriyaki sauce and the spicy sriracha-style sauce.  The salad is typical, with better-than-average dressing.

I still prefer Sapporo's food much more, but if I'm pinched for time or walking to lunch, I'll stop by.
