As an off shoot of Jak’s, we really enjoyed the vibe and both our server and food was great. It’s a busy place but I thought the menu had something for everyone. Full bar, great beers on tap and a great staff.

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!

This is one of my go to special occasions restaurants, or even just for a large group lunch! The food is delicious, there’s a good variety, and it’s tried and true. I especially like the huckberry martini, cambozola flatbread, hot chocolate dessert. Their soup and salad option is also a great portion size!

Bellevue

About the restaurant

The Crab Pot Bellevue is a fun and casual restaurant specializing in delicious seafood sitting on Lake Bellevue with a beautiful water view. What makes this particular restaurant famous is its incredible Seafeast. We take a variety of fresh seafood steamed with mouth-watering spices, we pour it out on the table on butcher paper, give you a bibs & tools & let you go at it! There are several varieties of Seafeast available but they all have one thing in common: giant buckets of seafood poured directly onto the table.

For those looking for a more traditional entrée, The Crab Pot Bellevue has a wide variety of menu options. Our menu is made up of fried, fresh, or grilled seafood, chicken, burgers and sandwiches. While the seafood options are delicious, there are plenty of other beautiful dishes as well like the colossal bacon cheeseburger, and grilled or teriyaki chicken breasts with seasonal vegetables to please all. Save room for our famous Mud Pie or 'Cake in the Pan' desserts!
