    The Seasonal GOAT with Summer Peaches
    Lisa R.

    This place is great for healthy menu selections that are tasty and affordable. I tried their summer salad "The Seasonal GOAT with Summer Peaches" and it was delicious! Service is a walk up order, so a more casual experience. Free parking garage located to the right of the restaurant.

    Baja Green Goddess
    Sahithi Y.

    Always love how clean they maintain the place and there's a ton of seating. The staff brings the food to you and is very kind. I only get one thing here all the time because I love it, it's the green goddess salad with the vegan chorizo.

    Chen's Crispy Rice Salad
    Beny T.

    Located in a buzzing location with lots of options. This place has great food that's made with fresh ingredients. We tried a bunch of sandwiches like beef brisket sandwich and Peruvian steak. There's a bunch of tables inside and outside to enjoy depending on the weather. You order up front and the food can be brought to your table or you can grab it. Overall, I'd def try it again if I feel like a sandwich or salad esp for lunch.

    Clean and bright interior, attractive menus, and tasty selections. I came here around noon for lunch on a random Saturday, and it wasn't too busy when we arrived. We ordered a seasonal peach salad and a caprese sandwich with two fountain drinks. Our food was ready in under 10 minutes, and wow, everything looked amazing. My partner's salad was fresh and colorful. My sandwich was not what I expected, but it looked very tasty as well! I expected the bread to be more chewy/yeasty, but it was a bit hard and slightly crumbly. It was different, but paired well with the fillings. It had the perfect amount of ingredients in each layer. I tried a bite of my partner's salad, and it was tasty! The salad dressing seemed a bit sweet and had a zing, pairing nicely with the peaches and greens. Overall, it's a great, clean lunch option. I was glad to hear that they're also in California where I reside. Yay!

    Pesto Chicken sandwich
    Ratish K.

    Chicken Pesto Caprese is my personal favorite. Thin sliced chicken with, fresh mozzarella, marinated red peppers with an amazing basil pesto sauce and unique Balsamic finish is perfect! The other favorite is the make your own sandwich which is similar to the chicken caprese but without the chicken and adding Jalapenos and Jalapeno aioli and avocados. Btw, the online ordering is pretty accurate with time and it changes perfectly depending on the current orders. Friendly staff, getting a street parking is difficult but there are lots of places in the garage.

    Green goddess salad
    Eilene C.

    We ordered our food online and picked it up when it was ready. Conveniently located in Totem Lake with ample parking near the restaurant. Large windows that let natural light in. We ordered: - Hot honey peach & prosciutto sandwich - Corn & hatch chili soup - Baja green goddess, no cheese salad All were delicious!

    "Not so fried" chicken half sandwich with potato salad combo
    Jon O.

    Great food, great service, lots of clean seating! I had their "Not So Fried" Chicken sandwich which has little crispies to simulate a batter coating, it was very delicious with the mustard dip. Also had a side of their potato salad, very strong dill flavor if you like that. My wife had their chicken pesto which she really enjoyed, and the tomato soup was decent but nothing special. Pomegranate mint lemonade is bright and refreshing, highly recommend that drink to go with your sandwiches.

    my first time here-night time edition! i went to mendocino about 20 or so minutes before closing on a Friday night. We were greeted by a sweet guy named Chris. He allowed us to look at the menu for a few before ordering-I DIDNT FEEL RUSH REGARDLESS OF THE TIME!!!! Once we paid, we sat down and waited for the food. The staffw ere quick and kind to us (again regardless of the time). The food was absolutely fresh and filling! The price of one WHOLE sandwich is better than Panera! My new favorite sandwich spot! The ambience was great considering it was night! The decorations were very satisfying and fun to look at! It is very homey!! But once again, staff blew me away! One of the guys let us know that he was turning off the drink station and allowed us ti get refills before-normal staff would just turn ut off and not let us know. I appreciate Mendocino in Totem Lake! Will DEFINITELY come back!!

    I came here around 1:30 PM on a Thursday for a to-go order. The facility was nice and clean, and the staff was friendly. I ordered the Thai Sweet Potato Soup, which was delicious and perfect for the cold weather. Parking was easy, with a free parking garage nearby.

    Good moto

    I have walked past this place in Totem Lake a few times and wasn't sure exactly what to expect other than food and blue spotted cows everywhere, including one out front just waiting for a selfie! Challenge accepted. While here for a Yelp Experience, I brought along 3 members of my family and I tried their meals as well. I had the Chicken Parm Dip with a cup of Thai Sweet Potato Soup, while others in my party tried the Winter Citrus & Goat Cheese Salad, the Not So Fried Chicken Ciabatta, and the Chicken & Hummus Crunch Wrap. We each enjoyed our meals as they tasted pretty good. The chicken I tried in each of the items we had was tender and moist and went well with the accompanying ingredients. I also like the tanginess of the Farmhouse Vinegarette dressing on the salad. With all the chicken offerings, you'd think their mascot would be a chicken instead of a blue cow (It looks like Chik-fil-A already figured this out). Holy Cow! This location has good wholesome food and a bright inviting seating area. Check it out.

    Not so fried chick
    Chelsea A.

    I'm so sad there's not one of these in issaquah. Anytime I'm nearby, I will stop in. I love the not so fried chick, also love the club sandwich. The side options are also really good! I got the bbq chips and the guava lemonade. Both were excellent! It's an easy spot to grab a sandwich and sit and eat, or grab and go for a picnic nearby. Staff is always friendly and willing to help you decide if you're stuck between choices! The space is bright and airy, with plenty of parking as it's in the mall.

    Farm club and kale&apple rainbow salad
    Megan G.

    When first walking in we were instantly impressed with the happy and friendly employees who immediately greeted us and checked to see if we had any questions. Having friendly employees definitely made the atmosphere really pleasant. I ordered the sandwich/side combo with the farm club sandwich and kale&apple salad. I loved the sandwich, you could tell they were using quality and fresh ingredients which I appreciated. I didn't care much for the kale&apple; it felt oily and I didn't think the flavor combos were working well. I would definitely come back to try something else though because it seems like they have a lot of great things to try!

    Oh my goodness, if you get anything at DERU, GET THE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE PLEASE…read more It's been a few weeks since I've gotten it and I still think about that cake. (I haven't justified buying a whole cake for myself, but I truly want to--and am tempted to do so) The food is great and I'd love to go back. I went on a Monday, so it wasn't as busy as it would be on the weekend. The servers are kind, and you typically order from a QR code unless you're having a hard time (and they'll help you!). Quiet space. Some parking available on site but it can get busy on the weekends from what I've heard.

    Cute little place with good food and informal setting. Their dishes are pretty nicely thought out…read morebut oftentimes a number of them will be "out of stock" even leading into dinner time, but this is understandable if that's because they're aiming for freshness. What is not so great is that they've replaced human interaction and paper menus with a QR code based menu (annoying but becoming more common) and the only way to order is also through your phone (this is the part that is not common and really sucks). Been to DERU twice. First time my phone wouldn't let the order submit after polling everyone to put what they wanted into the "cart". Eventually some poor fellow who worked there had to use his little iPad and we all had to repeat ourselves to recreate the order after we'd already done the exercise on my phone. Second visit same thing- this time we had to recreate the order a few times on different peoples phones in our party until one of them could finally submit the purchase, and then they immediately started getting emails they weren't expecting as an outcome, their cell phone number was on our order ticket- so beware when you think you're just providing your credit card info- you're actually giving much more than that. We gathered for dinner to spend quality time together in real life and to get away from our phones but because of DERU's ordering system we instead spent the first 20 minutes of our dinner all on our phones. Then during the meal people would finish their glass of wine and want another- phone comes back out! This happened throughout the meal because, shockingly, people don't finish their glasses of wine at the same time, so all in all someone was pretty much on their phone close to the entire meal. Quite antithetical to the goal of human interaction and enjoying a nice dinner together. If they got rid of this ridiculous phone based menu and ordering system I would double my rating AND my tip. But at this point I may not come back for awhile.

    SWEETGREENS @ KIRKLAND…read more This was my first time visiting Sweetgreen in Kirkland, located in Totem Lake. Totem Lake is a great area to explore, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater all within walking distance. It's a nice spot if you're looking to spend some time around the Kirkland area. I've heard a lot about Sweetgreen, so I was excited to finally give it a try. The concept reminded me a lot of Chipotle since you can choose your base, protein, toppings, and sauces to create your own bowl. They also offer a variety of signature bowls if you don't want to build your own. Options included bowls with pesto, steak, and other combinations already put together for you. Unfortunately, my first impression wasn't the best. The staff didn't seem very friendly, and everything felt rushed. Since my dad and I were both first time customers, we weren't exactly sure what to order. It felt like we were being hurried through the line rather than being helped. For my bowl, I chose quinoa, romaine lettuce, and chicken. They had temporarily run out of chicken, but thankfully a fresh batch came out after only a few minutes, which I appreciated. I also noticed that the tables inside were pretty dirty, so we decided to sit outside instead. The outdoor seating was much more enjoyable anyway. As for the food, I thought it was good overall. I liked that everything tasted fresh and seemed to be made with wholesome ingredients. The vegetables were crisp, and the bowl felt healthy and filling. My biggest complaint was the chicken. It wasn't seasoned very much and tasted pretty plain, so I found myself relying on the sauce to add flavor to the meal. Overall, the food was decent, but the customer service and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. I don't think I would return to this particular location, but I'd be willing to give another Sweetgreen a try in the future, especially to test out some of their wraps or other menu options.

We started with the fried yucca and Churrasco Misto, then had the Brazilian churrasco and moqueca. The meat was unbelievably tender -- genuinely melt-in-your-mouth -- and everything was packed with flavor. But the surprise of the night was the moqueca. I almost didn't order seafood at a Brazilian steakhouse because... why would I order seafood when there's all that MEAT?! Thankfully, I did. OMG. The moqueca was soooo flavorful -- rich, fragrant, beautifully seasoned, and easily the standout dish of the night. I would come back for that alone. Seriously, do not sleep on the moqueca! Our server, Simony (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly!), was wonderful. She was so warm, welcoming, and helpful, and made us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the entire meal. And then there's the restaurant itself. The artwork and especially that ceiling are incredible. It's this huge, colorful explosion of Brazilian imagery, patterns, and culture stretching overhead.

Portion size is decent.. but most of our steak had fatty pieces that couldn't be eaten. What a waste. Overall, I wouldn't come back for dinner. They do a lunch buffet.. maybe I need to check that out.

I got the combo - Hawaiian chicken + karaage requesting extra salad instead of rice, as well as a half order of loco moco. It's nice that there is half order as a lot of Hawaiian restaurants tend to be full orders so it is incredibly hard to try a variety of options if you're solo or in a small group. The Hawaiian chicken and karaage both are juicy and delicious. It's great that the combo is the same price as the standard individual options so I got to try more variety without paying extra. I looked at the reviews and opted to remove the rice and get extra salad which was a good move - their chop chop salad is very delicious with a nice balance of dressing, cheese, and ham. I still had some rice from the loco moco, which was sufficient for me. The loco moco is good - I wished the patty was a bit less tough but the gravy and egg make up for it.

Noon Café is a casual family diner offering traditional grilled kababs (aka kebab), appetizers, sandwiches, and pizzas - all Persian/Iranian style. The interior is basic, decorated with photos of Iranian landmarks (I assume). Currently, they have a memorial due to the ongoing war. (Peace to all...) Service is warm and friendly. Be sure to ask questions if the dish names are unfamiliar. The Food: Soltani, $32.99 - 4 Stars Soltani includes one skewer of Koobideh (ground beef) and one skew of Barg (flank steak). Both are well-seasoned with excellent flavor. We ordered the flank steak medium rare, but it was medium with no pink inside. The steak was tolerable, not as tender as it could have be. This dish was served with rice per the menu. After I saw another table has their kabab served with a bread, I asked the server. She said other than rice, there is a choice of Persian bread (flat bread with sesame) and salad. Curious that wasn't in the menu nor did she say it. Not a dealbreaker. Her reply did raise my eyebrow. Zaboon, $16.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Veal tongue, simmered and fried, tomato, pickles, parsley Based on the description, the texture completely threw me off. The meat is mushy to the point of spreadable. The flavor is light with minimum seasoning. I applied hot sauce liberally to the sandwich. Portion size is large. I ate only half. Fries, $6.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Golden and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside Some pieces aren't crispy enough. Some pieces are too thick such that the inside has the potato gritty texture. The sauce is a house-created flavor. We like the sauce more than we like the fries. The food is closer to 3.5 Stars. I like the family vibe and am rounding up to 4 Stars for the overall rating.
