Best Lunch Restaurants in Fall City

A classic Bellevue location that’s consistently good, but always just at arms length from actually being great.

staff so in tune with guest experience and expectations.. that makes the amazing meal even more delicious..

This was one of the best culinary experiences my family has ever had. Amazing fresh and flavorful food presented beautifully. The space is stunning, and the wait staff is friendly and attentive. The prices are a bit astonishing, but it was a wonderfully memorable experience for a celebratory occasion.

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ in Bellevue is one of our favorite spots, and we find ourselves coming back often. The staff is always attentive and helpful, offering great menu suggestions that make the experience even better. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming, and there's always something new to try. Tonight, we decided to go for the à la carte menu and chose duck, chicken, and the prime kalbi short ribs—each one was delicious. We also ordered a variety of sides, including the spicy addictive cucumber, spicy tuna volcano, Gyu sushi (roast beef), garlic edamame, and Japanese chicken karaage. The chicken karaage here is my kids' favorite compared to other local spots. We also couldn't resist two orders of the cheese corn butter, another top pick, as well as the karage avocado salad and the beef sukiyaki bibimbap. Honestly, the food was so good that we forgot to take pictures, which rarely happens! For drinks, everyone had a Coke, but I opted for the Lychee Berry Fizz, which is my go-to favorite. I also tried the Mango Tango, but it wasn’t quite for me. For dessert, we ordered the Fish Taiyaki with green tea ice cream—an excellent, sweet way to end the meal. The ambiance is casual, with a lively atmosphere that works well for families. It’s a bit loud, which might not be ideal for those looking for a quiet dining experience, but it fits our vibe. If you're in Bellevue and craving Japanese BBQ, this spot is a must!

The food us great. Try the tib steak, pork belly, and short rib. The servers are very nice and helpful also.
