Stills: Xlb, xlb, xlb, xlb, xlb. The shrimp and pork shao mai are also fantastic. Sit at the bar to avoid the wait for a table.
Charles B: don't be deceived by the fact that this spot is in a mall. outpost of the Tapei original and the best dim sum I've had outside of Asia. soup dumplings are redonk.
Serious Eats: Din Tai Fung is known for its high-quality xiao long bao, but also try the shrimp and pork shao mai. Also, bar seating can help you avoid the long waits in the main dining area.

Tana Babcock: The nachos + brisket are out of this world delicious! Also the blood orange shrub on the non-boozy drinks menu is house-made and so flavorful.
Lewis Sam: Happy hour and shuffle board you can't go wrong!
Mouni Reddy: Best Nachos in Seattle and East side. Moscow Mule was great too. The Tavern Burger was OK, comes with a very large portion of fries. Great ambience and easily my favorite bar in Bellevue now.
Stephanie Tung: Was here for the first time for happy hour and the options were really good! Great bar service also, made a very delicious hot apple cider with bourbon, exactly what I needed on a cold day.
The Seattle Times: Seastar is an ambitious restaurant with a big menu offering a few safe bets but enough creativity to be a crowd-pleaser. The lure is seafood, but neither carnivores nor vegetarians will go hungry. Read more.
DishOnIt: Found Mahi Mahi with Cucumber-Macadamia Nut Relish as Yum. Try it and dish on it at http://dishonit.com

Sushi Restaurant · 29 tips and reviews
Jay Luna: Try a cold Sake sampler and ask for suggestions if a beginner. Also ask for an Ono hand-roll, if you like something spicy w/scallops, octopus, crab and more. It's not on the menu, so ask for "Ono"!
Henrik Nerup Rant: Now that is what i call sushi & what service :)
The Seattle Times: May be Bellevue's best-kept dining secret. Tranquility in an ivory pool of Bartlett pear and leek soup. Bliss in bites of sweet, smoky eggplant. Even when it's full, the room feels serene. Read more.

Meena Mathis: Their brunch is pretty amazing here. I love the sesame beignets!
