The regular sized bowls are large and filled with fish and toppings. I'll get one next time I'm very hungry :) This place is takeout only, so plan ahead!

To get your money's worth, my recommendation is to order all the meat you can eat to start with and leave out the veggies, appetizers, etc. to the end - you may not even want any of it by the time you're done with their meat selection. Also try their ice cream machine for dessert. Overall it's a great place to dine at and the staff are very friendly. There's plenty of parking on-site. Will definitely be back!

It's an all-you-can-eat with a coal grill, and you get 90 minutes once you're seated, so come hungry and ready to order. The staff was excellent super friendly, helpful, and quick with taking orders, clearing dishes, and swapping out the grill without us ever having to ask. For just $5 more, the premium menu is 100% worth it especially for the wagyu. Everything we tried was delicious, but our favorites were the wagyu cubes and the lollipop lamb chops. On top of that, they offer a salad bar, fruit/dessert, and a sauce station to round out the meal. The atmosphere was another highlight: modern, clean, and comfortable, which made the experience even better. The only downside is the time limit, but honestly, 90 minutes was plenty for us to enjoy everything. Overall, we loved our visit and will definitely be coming back!

I don't eat pork, with that, the chicken ramen was fabulous!…read more I believe it was the "rich chicken ramen" Highly recommended! The chicken katsu was also fabulous! Another highly recommended plate! (Needs a little bit more curry since I'm a saucy kinda of person) that doesn't take away the amazing flavor, you just want more. The staff so friendly and timely! Thank you!!

I've been to a lot of ramen places in America though mainly on the East coast. Most of the time…read moreramen places don't get the broth temperature right. This was perfect. The noodles were also a good al dente and had the right bite and chew. I got the shio ramen at low sodium which was the right balance. A lot of time the shio at other places is too salty. As far as service goes, it was also great. Only authentic Japanese places great with Irashimae and this place did it. Yes they are a chain of sorts, but if there was a location on the East coast they would probably put some places out of business easy. There is random rock music playing and so was slightly sitting in the sun but overall awesome ramen place

The restaurant wasn't too busy, with only a couple of other tables occupied. The sushi was overall very good! The rolls had great flavor and tasted fresh. The only one we didn't love was the Crunchy Shrimp Roll, as the breadcrumbs on the outside just weren't our preference. That said, it was still well made. Overall, we'd happily stop by again if we're in the Green Lake area!

The food was tasty and came out quickly. I would say the ratio of rice to fish/veggie was a little off. I would come again if I was in the area. Tamago Sashimi 4/5 - good, solid rice to egg ratio Seattle roll 4/5 - good but a little to much rice, dense Spicy vegan roll 3.5/5- tasty but too creamy, not spicy, no enough vegetables

I've had Grillbird bookmarked since it opened in Greenwood. Today my husband and I were in the area…read moreand stopped by for lunch! It is a take out spot only! Ordering kiosks inside, not a lot of in person contact. (Perfect for some) The menu options are great. They have a "create your own" plate option, which I got. I ordered 1/2 teriyaki chicken and 1/2 sesame chicken, with brown rice. The meal was $14. If you ask me, that is a hell of a deal! The portion size was pretty hearty. Wait time said 14 minutes, but it was only around 10 minutes. The teriyaki was my fave of the 2 chicken entrees. The meat was thick, juicy and flavorful. (No gross fatty pieces!) The sesame was good too, but next time I would get a full order of the teriyaki alone. In, out, delicious food, good portion size and a decent price! What more could you ask for!!?

Another gem in a great location!…read more I almost always crave Thai food and my favorite place in Seattle, Kin Lin, is not always the easiest to get a seat at come dinner time. My partner and I decided on this place because it was close to Green Lake which is a great location. The parking is a bit difficult because of the busy area but parking a few block away usually isn't that hard. Green Lake being so close was also a great thing because we needed to wait a bit for a table. They have a huge menu with many items I have not seen before. The service was also very quick and friendly. I opted to try their boat noodles which was very rich and very good. This was my first time trying boat noodles and I was very happy with this choice. The portion was also huge and I left very full with plenty of leftovers. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we will happily be back

Went for a dinner on a Sunday night around 8 PM and the spot was PACKED; we ended up waiting 20-30 minutes, so would definitely recommend a reservation if you're in a rush or want to eat during normal meal time. Whole Fried Pompano: The dipping sauce was incredible and the fish skin got a nice crispy crunch from being fried, but I was pretty confused by how to eat this dish. Maybe it was user error, but there were tons of bones and unlike with steamed fish, it was very difficult to remove them. In spite of the flavors and fresh herb accoutrements, I just can't recommend this due to the eating experience: Crab Claypot Noodles: Very minimal amount of crab, just 3 tiny bitty claws. It's mostly just thin, glassy noodles that in themselves were just okay from a texture perspective, I like a bit more of a chew. Very ginger forward and the flavors were not bad, but not anything special. Crispy Pork Belly, BBQ Pork, Pork Wontons, Onsen Egg Bha Mee Hang: The noodles and the gravy are a 5/5 bite, but unfortunately the protein was just okay. The skin on the pork belly was crispy, but both pork options ate very chewy / overcooked. Pork wontons were fine, but cold and I wanted them to be a bit fresher.
