Dropped in on a rainy Saturday after my shopping at Trader Joe's. It's my first time trying…read morePotbelly subs. Place clean and my eyes immediately went to the menu to see if they have vegetarian options. I asked the person taking my order and she suggested the veggie melt or Mediterranean that they can take the meat out. I opted for veggie melt and they have lots of options for toppings and sauces . I got the works and added the spicy ranch. Second order was the chicken avocado wrap and did the same with the works topping. Our food did get a little soggy by the time I got home and opened it. But will say I enjoyed it and was stuffed. I will go back to try the Mediterranean.

Toasted subs, prepared and assembled right in front of you, from decent ingredients…read more Potbelly sandwich shop was founded in Illinois in 1977, but took until 1997 to expand...now having over 400 locations throughout the States. The many locations in the Seattle metro area have opened very recently, with this location in Redmond being the easiest to get to for me. To continue the theme of a sandwich dinner, I decided to walk to the nearby Potbelly to pick up a couple of sandwiches, but mainly to satisfy my craving for a genuine hand scooped ice cream shake. I carried it back to the apartment, and provided a nice repast for us on a Sunday night. First, the vanilla and strawberry shakes ($5.59 each) were very good. It uses hand scooped vanilla ice cream, mixed with strawberry syrup and milk in a blender. The vanilla shake was better than the strawberry, mainly because the strawberry syrup didn't really add as much flavor as I would have liked...but the base was excellent, using good ice cream. Cubano ($10.99), mixing ham and pulled pork with swiss, toasting it, then adding mustard and pickles. Cubano ingredients, but no sandwich press and the bread was wrong. Since I knew it wasn't authentic, decided to also add giardiniera, which was my mistake...it tasted fine, but completely overwhelmed the sandwich. Toasted Italian ($10.99), salami, capicola, pepperoni, and mortadella with provolone cheese. One can add any toppings you want. In my case it was lettuce, tomato, mayo. It's was a good sandwich. The bread for both sandwiches seems to be Torano, which along with Gonnella, are the two Chicago-area bakers known for their french rolls used to make subs and especially Italian beef sandwiches. This is different than most other sub chains that make their bread in-house. I thought the bread was fine, especially when toasted. Also the topping called hot peppers is really Chicago style giardiniera...really authentic...reminding me of Chicago. They also have a large selection of different soups, including a good beef chili I've had in the past. The store actually did remind me of sub shops from where I grew up, and thought the prices for the location were reasonable as well.

Best Taiwanese food in the area. Everything tasted authentic, and the service was excellent. Will…read moredefinitely be back!

Excited to find a new Taiwanese spot!…read more We came on a Saturday afternoon, it was not too crowded and we were seated quickly. The ordering system uses ChowBus on tablets so easy to see pictures of items on the menu, we got a mix of veggies, meat, soup and rice. Taiwanese food wise this was pretty good, not the best but hits the mark for most dishes. My favorite part was the ability to adjust to less oil and less salt on all the stir fry dishes, this was the best and my sensitive tastebuds appreciated the less salty version! My favorite was the stir fried "Kong xin cai" it was cooked very well with the crunch and roasted flavor that I'd expect in Asia too. The name also had chicken soup in the Chinese characters, it was authentic and well cooked. I'll be back if I'm in the area to try other dishes and give a better assessment too :)

There was some iffy planning on a Bellevue teriyaki restaurant's part when they locked my two…read morefoodie friends and me out of eating there an hour and a half before closing with no explanation, so we found this place instead. One of my friends and I have already had their location in Georgetown countless times so we were happy to recommend our choices for our other friend this Friday evening around 7pm. Welp, we came into very full seating inside an extremely tight yet cozy seating area if it weren't for all the noise from there being so many people inside. It was so full and more people kept lining up behind us that we decided to do takeout and eat our food on the hood of my car despite spaces opening up as we waited about 20 or so minutes for our food... did I mention the parking lot for this place was nearly full and spots were very unforgiving in elbow room? Also that it's peak dinner time? Anyway, you place your order on a lone kiosk up front which did contribute to the really long line forming near the outside entrance. Like their Georgetown location, they offer a ton of hearty donburi and some appetizers and soup. Staff were a little rushed with some orders and forgot to give me utensils when I requested them through the kiosk but this didn't affect my overall experience, as I went back and they were more than happy to give them to me. We got their unagi donburi, which consists of a ton of broiled freshwater eel with an umami seasoning and tender juiciness, all on top of a huge bed of rice and with some radish. One of my friends instead got their una-gyu donburi which is a mix of unagi and sukiyaki beef, though that means we all got their unagi. Eel wasn't too salty, and scales are very fine and small that you can just eat it as is. This was a warming, hearty meal that sat very well with me and my friends. For this location and the one in Georgetown, I am most certainly coming back for some more!

I thought it was another fast-casual spot but this place really stands out from the rest. I got the…read morechirashi bowl and the fish was fresh, the rice well flavored, and portion size satisfactory. Really enjoyed it. My family got the aburi sake and volcano donburis and enjoyed their food as well. They have a wide variety of donburi options - fish, meat, katsu, and tofu. Definitely look forward to coming back for more. Not a large restaurant so the tables can fill up quite fast. Order at counter or kiosk and they serve the bowls to your table. You bus your own table after.

The fact that these were also coated in oil was pretty nice. On the inside, I thought the prawns were cooked well - they remained pretty soft and didn't appear overcooked I did feel like the spice was pretty much missing, though. I ordered 4/5 stars, but it tasted more like 1/5 stars as there was a pretty significant lack of spice that took away from a lot of the flavor potential. Speaking of the missing flavor, there should've been a lot more sauce added to this dish - either poured on top of the prawns or the prawns come sitting in it. The benefit of this is that it you can mix everything with the rice - and this sauce coats the rice to make it taste good. The way it's currently presented, the prawns are too large to really eat with the rice, and mixing the two will just result in eating the meat and taking another bite of plain rice because there isn't enough sauce to coat the rice. This dish just ended up being eating the prawns by themselves - the rice wasn't super useful As a result, after finishing I really wasn't that full For the price (around 20 ish) there are a good amount of prawns, but I wouldn't really say you're getting a good deal here

Went out for dinner with family and tried the Thai sukiyaki, khao soi, and Panang curry with tofu…read more We chose spice level 3 for most dishes and level 5 for the khao soi. The restaurant was hosting an event, so part of the space was closed off, and service was noticeably slow. It took a while for the food to arrive. The khao soi was decent--not the best I've had, but still a solid choice. The Panang curry had a mild flavor with a subtle lime note and a touch of sweetness, which was interesting but not particularly bold. Overall, the food was okay, but unless you live nearby, it might not be worth the trip. If you do go, I'd recommend ordering a higher spice level, as everything leaned on the mild side. Good ambiance overall.

This was yummy beyond yummy!…read more I literally always pass by this place whenever I'm at Crossroads, more so to eat at So Tasty or walk around Crossraods Mall. This time, my friends and I looked up this place on a whim and realized, "Oh it's so close to Crossraods! Why don't we just eat here then?" Also one of my friends was craving katsu that same day so we had to come here. You can use parking out on the nearby streets or at a nearby parking lot close to the building, or perhaps nearby Crossroads Mall parking if you're multi-tasking over there. It's a very casual feel inside with an ample number of tables for eating (some with some pretty odd walls separating them) and booths for larger groups. There's a ton of dishes you can get here like bento boxes, yakisoba, bibimbap and other things given it serves both Japanese and Korean food. I got the katsu bento box, which came with a ton of sides like rice, salad, yakisoba noodles, gyoza, egg rolls and shrimp tempura. There was also a choice to order just yakisoba, but I like how it's provided as a side for our bento. Everything was fresh, good, and delicious! My favorite was the katsu itself since it came and stayed piping hot while I was eating, and meat was juicy beyond juicy with the outer crust being mildly crunchy just as it should be. Yakisoba noodles were full of taste, and the fried stuff added a nice kick to the rest of the bento. I don't have anything to say on service here since it was quick and most utensils were self-serve. For places like these that serve more than one kind of cuisine, I'll definitely come back especially with the surrounding area having a ton of great places to eat including this one!
