Takohachi is one of those stalwart i-district places that should never change their menu, but it would be great if they expanded and provided faster service. The portions are insanely great. The food is generally fried, but some of their stews (like the Kimchi soup) are just perfect for the winter.
Japanese Curry rice is an option with most of the menu items. All right!

We were relieved to find Paldo World tucked away off of Lake Hills Blvd. in Bellevue. Our expectations were low given the quality of Korean groceries on Aurora. It's got everything you need!
The snack bar is pretty heavy handed with the spice - so be prepared for HOT food.

Yuzen recently opened in the south-end mall. It's great to have a sit-down sushi restaurant in South Mercer Island. We were so happy to see it arrive. The sushi was decent and fresh. The sukiyaki was a little sweet, but good nonetheless. The menu is limited - surprisingly you can sometimes get a more full featured (albeit expensive) bento at Toshi's teriyaki hut across the parking lot. We would have liked to see a good honest nabiyaki udon and saba shioyaki. Let's hope that Yuzen can build a sustainable business here!

Haenam has been around for about a year in an inconspicuous mall in Shoreline. The food here is great and everything is new and clean.
They have some great specialties including a spicy mix of calamari and pork (basically bacon) that people call "O-Sam". Once you're done with that dish, they'll make fried rice at the table with what ever is remaining in the pot. Bring your Lipitor!
My wife is Korean and she swears by Haenam - it's our current favorite Korean restaurant - she goes there at least once a week. If you know and love Korean food, you won't be disappointed.

You may want to watch the first episode of the PBS program "The Meaning of Food" to learn the sad/happy story behind this wonderful Capital Hill restaurant.

On the recommendation of a friend we ate at Galerias (in advance of taking in a movie at Harvard Exit). We wouldn't recommend making a special trip.
Everything is outrageously big and garish. The menus feel like oversided sheet metal bibles. Even the utensils are absurdly large. The appetizer portions were very large - really more of an main or for large groups. The soup could likewise feed an army. The mole is sweet (we're used to the Chile Pepper's unsweetened stuff) and the chicken in boiled chunks (not shredded) - so we were not impressed. If you're avoiding feta (like my pregnant wife), they sneak it in as a "secret ingredient" in various things.
The waiters were brusque.

We love Hawaii. Clara's "Food for the soul" on 45th is a great Hawaiian restaurant. The main courses are basic, but excellent, and include plain steamed vegetables to compensate for the starch. The portions are healthy. If you like shioyaki mackerel this is a good place to go - you get nearly half a fish! The kalua pork and meatloaf are wonderful. The kids will love the mashed potatoes and requisite macaroni salad. Don't forget to ask for haupia for a little desert. This place never gets crowded, so we're sometimes afraid that it can't last. Watch out for the kalbi, they use market pricing for organic Vashon meat, which can be surprisingly high.
There's no booster seats, but they do have high chairs.

Zoka is never empty. This is probably one of the continually busiest cafe's in Wallingford/Greenlake (with possibly the exception of Essential). Free wireless internet, plenty of tables and some of the best coffee in Seattle poured by award winning barristas. There are a lot of graduate students, startup companies, bible studies and freelancers here and they just don't leave. At least half of the denizens are staring at laptops like me.
The food is ok, but nothing to write home about. There is quite a variety of scones and muffins and big cake/pie/sweet things.

I'm sure they're still bad for you, but we love Mighty-O Donuts. It's more kid friendly than Zoka. The kids can watch the donut robot squeeze out these tasty confections and there's a box of toys...
