The portion sizes were wonderful, meat quality was great and it was packaged nicely. The meats were smokey and oh so tender!!!!!! I am a fan and will be ordring more!!!!!! Great job!

Shannon Carson Good food, though nothing stood out as spectacular. Our chef seemed less entertaining than the others around us, but maybe he was just having an off day. The servers were on top of things and kept everyone in our large group happy.

Kyle Kendall Great food, and affordable. The beleadas are great for kids as well. Like the owner pointed out to me, some items will need to be eaten quickly because it could get soggy. I drove 8 minutes away and it was still great. Very good food, I’ll be going back often!

Yujia Z. One of my favorite Italian restaurants for pasta. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxed, making it a great place for a proper sit-down meal. The pasta is cooked perfectly al dente. This was also the first Italian restaurant I’ve been to that uses zucchini as a side component, which does a great job of balancing out the richness of the dishes. Recommended: Cappellini Aglio e Olio (vegetarian) and Linguine Carbonara — both are well-executed and very satisfying. For dessert, they bring out a large tray and let you choose in person. The tiramisu and the double chocolate cake are both solid picks. A great spot if you’re looking for well-made pasta, a comfortable setting, and a classic Italian dining experience.

Sebastian Vargas Ive been fortunate to have dined at Red House about a couple dozen times throughout the past couple of years. Kessler and the team always make an effort to accommodate us and prepare amazing meals for us. The star of the show really is the food. Curated menus based on seasons and new ideas keep the options fresh. The quality of the ingredients is very high. My favorite staples are the Wagyu Burger and the salmon. There is a wide variety of cocktails, wine, whiskeys, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks that also rotate throughout the year. They are not afraid to put new things on the drinks menu. The consistency, quality, and hospitality of Red House and their staff is unparalleled. I am going there again tonight!

Victoria H I absolutely recommend dough zone! Dough Zone is incredible! They have great vegetarian options as well! Dough zone has a relaxed, yet modern vibe. It is a bit noisy in there, especially on Saturday nights. The staff were very kind and very efficient. They provided quick and professional service. The food was great. We had delicious noodles, veggie pot stickers, and veggie steamed dumplings! They were all fresh and yummy and filled with flavor. I highly recommend dough zone, and if you are vegetarian, yes, they have a lot of vegetarian options!

Amber Severts I love this restaurant! We used to eat here all the time when I was a kid. And thank goodness it is just as good as I remember! The staff is super friendly as usual. I ordered the chicken burrito and it was sooo delicious, tender shredded chicken and sooo cheesy. Perfection! My husband got the chile relleno and ground beef burrito combo. He loved it. My kids ordered the Nachos La Fuente and the Burrito De Asada, both really good. The portions here are huge! This restaurant is huge part of my childhood and I will always eat here when I’m in town!

David CdeBaca Wonderful experience yet again at the Salty Blue. The staff took care of us with full attention to our needs, and the food is truly the best place for fish n chips we have tasted.

Andi Kemp Amazing food, perfectly seasoned. Friendly service felt like ohana (family). You ever try something and know immediately its a cut above, made by a very experienced cook or chef? Thats how this was. Reminded me of Pine Tree Cafe on the Big Island. I wish it was closer to home!

Anna H Pretty quite, plenty of chairs and table available. Love the server, she was respectful has clear communication and very patient. I had a large bowl of rare beef Pho and teriyaki tofu sandwich. I came with a empty tummy after work and filled my belly up well. Pho was tastey where the Tofu sandwich went well with it. Love the combination. The hot tea came in a glass. My throat felt scratchy and dried after consuming it. It taste like rice water but tea. Not sure, but the ice water cleared it out. It is maintain inside so it is clean.

Steven Papaya is a well-regarded restaurant located at The Landing in Renton, known for its exquisite Vietnamese cuisine. While the customer service is generally commendable, I did experience a problem in getting a refill of water. I had asked the male waiter for more ice and water, but he didnt return until it was time to settle the bill. Despite that minor issue, the restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere where patrons can enjoy delicious meals and then take a stroll along the strip or catch a movie next door. My favorite dishes include grilled pork belly with egg over rice in an iron pot, papaya salad with shrimp skewers, and oxtail noodle soup. If you find yourself near The Landing in Renton, I highly recommend visiting this establishment. Additionally, they offer a 10% discount for Boeing employees, which can be claimed by showing your badge to the waiter. Just make sure you genuinely qualify for this discount.

Mia Jones Zapata is one of those places that’s easy to keep coming back to. The carne asada and skirt steak tacos were flavorful—super, tender, and cooked just right. You can tell the meat is seasoned well and not overdone, and the tacos are simple but really satisfying. Service was fast and efficient for a Saturday early afternoon. Family of 4 for lunch. Food came out quickly without feeling rushed, and everything was fresh and hot. It’s a great spot whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or just want something reliable and tasty. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and craving good Mexican food.

Anna Muradyants Our favorite poke spot! Always fresh and I love how clean it is. Very friendly service too

S. L. We loved everything about this place. Coming from Thailand, it’s hard to find good and authentic Thai food here in the U.S., but this spot truly impressed us. We visited every day while we were in town and enjoyed many delicious Thai dishes such as Pad Kra Pao, Pad Kee Mao, papaya salad, crispy pork with kale, green curry, fried rice, and more. The mango with sticky rice was a perfect way to end the meal—it reminded us of home. If youre looking for authentic Thai food (cooked by Thai chefs) with great taste and reasonable prices, look no further! We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back the next time were in town.

Manuela Mazzola Cannot say enough about them. Have been coming here for three years now, ordered several times group orders for our law firm as well. The hospitality and service when dining in is always so good, the service with take out is always amazing and on time. Food is always consistently excellent. Just had lunch today dine in with a coworker and ambience what perfect and relaxing as they had some jazz music on. Definitely recommend this place!!
