Highly Recommended 14 Dinner Restaurants Near Bellevue, Washington

Rohan Thomas This place improved…. Slightly from 2 years back Expensive… while that is ok - didn’t expect a place like this to deep fry pork belly and call it crispy pork belly…. Would have expected them to do properly…. Other than that, while the price is high. the portions were pretty good as well. All the dishes were very well done, the chao fun could use a little more seasoning - but they had great chilli selection so no issues with that. Definitely will come back - please fix your crispy pork belly or change its name to deep fried pork belly….

eden We went here on New Years Eve because it was one of the few places we could still get a reservation in Bellevue the day before. It was a bit confusing to find the restaurant from the parking garage, but we managed. The cocktails were delicious! The flatbread was just ok. The real winners were the meat dishes. I liked everything except the duck, which was super salty. Id definitely come back! The restaurant was very cozy. Kind of an industrial building, but with dim lighting and cute little lamps and candles at each table. A bit expensive, but good for a special occasion.

Ryan B I don’t know what others are talking about that are leaving a 1 star review, we have not had any of the issues. We came in last weekend and it was wonderful. It was so good we came back 2 days later to eat again. The pastor taco is by far our favorite. The pork belly taco with the tropical pico is so flavorful it’s my 2nd favorite. The quessobirria taco is my third and last unfortunstely is the waygu taco. The waygu taco just had too much guac at the bottom for me. The ceviche is also amazing as well

James Park Great food, excellent service! this place offers both Korean and Japanese cuisine, and every dish is amazing with fresh ingredients. I always make it a point to eat here when I’m in Bellevue, and I highly recommend it to everyone. They have a wide variety of options, perfect for any occasion or weather.

Tash Haynes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such an amazing time at STK! The drinks were absolutely incredible, so well crafted and delicious. The staff went above and beyond; everyone was so polite, attentive, and accommodating. I missed celebrating my birthday a few months ago, and they helped me make up for it in the biggest way. From start to finish, I felt so cherished and adored. It truly turned into a night I’ll never forget, and I can’t recommend STK enough for anyone looking for great food, amazing vibes, and staff who make you feel special.

Christina O Amazing soup dumplings I prefer pork and kids prefer the chicken. Really can’t go wrong! Vegetable noodles from the wok are wonderful love the thickness of the noodles. Garlicky green beans are so good. My kids don’t like green beans and they love these. Not a fan of the spicy wonton flavor, but just personal preference. Chocolate filled mochi dessert is so decadent and rich. I always get some to go and reheat well!! Great service and food comes out family style and it just keeps coming. Love the darker ambiance but the tables are lit well.

Salim Ali Khan We stopped by Cactus in Bellevue for a quick bite before heading to a company/team event, and it turned out to be a great choice. We ordered nachos and guac for the table, and both were spot on fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we needed for a quick, satisfying stop. A special shoutout to Jenise, our host, who was fast, efficient, and incredibly helpful. She made sure our orders were placed quickly, kept things moving smoothly, and helped us with both the food and a couple of drinks, which we really appreciated given our tight timeline. Overall, it was a great experience easy, efficient, and enjoyable. Looking forward to coming back when we have more time to actually sit down and dine properly.

nisha sridhar It was my first time visiting here. The service was quick and hospitable. They modified the pizza according to our requirements and the taste was quite good. The black bean burger and the cauliflower entree (with in house pesto dip) were the standouts. The smores treat dessert is soo good that I would visit again for that!

Latosha Nelson This place is so wonderful! It has a very cute and friendly atmosphere and the food is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the stir fried clams if you want something sweet and savory or try the Cajun clam chowder if you’re looking for something spicy.

Michaela Hampton My sister and I arrived for our reservation at Ascend and seated right away. We sat next to the window and the view was stunning!! It took my breath away!! The photos do not quite do it justice, however I have attached a few regardless. Our server Min treated us with the utmost respect as he recommended his favorites especially when we were debating between drinks! He is incredibly knowledgeable and very attentive. The entire team was as well! They ran like a well oiled machine and it was appreciated! I would recommend the oysters as they were delicious!! The steak was a bit tough and a bit dry, however the Sea Bass impressed. We loved our experience and will be back! TRY IT!!

Zach Olson This is a great little ramen spot! Parking is limited during busy times so keep that in mind. Well definitely be back!

Jae An 13 Coins is a place full of memories for me. When I was younger, I often drank late at night and this was one of the 24-hour restaurants I used to go to most frequently. I’m sure many people can relate. The food is pretty good, and it’s a great spot to share old memories with friends. Truly a nostalgic place!

Yenlik (Enlik) A Truly Unforgettable Dining Experience at the EL Gaucho! We celebrated our anniversary at EL Gaucho, and it was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly host and immediately immersed in the warm atmosphere, complete with live pianist playing beautiful classical and contemporary music that set the tone for a wonderful evening. Ambiance & Service: The restaurant was beautifully decorated, and they even covered our table with rose petals, wrote a personalized card, and created a customized menu with our names to make our anniversary celebration memorable! Food: Everything we ordered was exquisite: - *Bone Marrow and Scallops*: The sauce from the scallops perfectly complemented the bone marrow. Our server kindly served it as an appetizer, even though it was listed as a side dish. - *Salad with Pistachios*: A delightful mix of flavors and textures. - *King Crab Legs*: Succulent and flavorful, with a delicious butter sauce. - *Flaming Steak*: Tender, juicy filet mignon with a fun presentation. - *Crème Brûlée*: Creamy, crunchy sugar coating, and perfectly balanced with fresh coffee and espresso. - *Sea Bass in Shoyu Sauce*: Melted in your mouth, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. *Cocktails:* The mixologist truly outdid themselves! The *Filthy Martini* with a Grey Goose and *Old Fashioned with Woodenville Bourbon* were among the best Ive ever had. We also enjoyed the *Sparkling Rosé Cremant Brute*, which paired perfectly with rich foods like bone marrow and oysters. Overall: El Gaucho exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff is amazing, and becoming a member is a must! If youre looking for a special occasion spot or just want to treat yourself, look no further. Well definitely be back!

Daria Kolesnykova We have visited this chain many times before. We especially liked this location because when we arrived around 9 PM, we got a table right away, and there was still a large variety of sushi and rolls on the conveyor belt. We also ordered some items from the menu, and they were delivered very quickly. Like all restaurants in this chain, it is a self-service sushi restaurant where sushi and rolls move along a conveyor belt and you take whatever you like. You can also order from the menu, and the dishes are delivered on the upper belt. Water, drinks, and wasabi are delivered by a robot (even water must be ordered through the tablet at the table). Everything looks fresh and tastes good. Some rolls fall apart a little, but it’s not a big issue. You won’t find a lot of fish in the rolls, but they are varied and quite tasty. There are also desserts, fruits, and salads on the belt. I would recommend this place for a quick sushi meal. After eating, you insert the empty plates into a special slot where they are counted automatically, and you pay per plate. During our visit, the price was $4.10 per plate. Each plate usually has 3–4 pieces. For two people, about 12–16 plates are enough, depending on your appetite. Another nice feature for kids: for every 15 plates, you get a prize that comes out like a lottery — small toy capsules in machines above the tables.
