To celebrate the end of a long week, stopped by Boom Noodle for their happy hour. It was surprisingly chill, I had expected the experience to be bit more nauseating sonically. I was pleased however that it was not case. There was lounge music playing…More »

Claim Jumper, makers of those frozen entrees. Love their lasagna. Today was the first time I visited one of their restaurants. Visited for an after work happy hour event. It is a very spacious place at Redmond Town Center. Parking has always been…More »

Forget you Belltown sushi places open for dinner only!

There are so many happy hour choices in Belltown, but List is really a small gem. It seems to be overshadowed by neighbor, Umi Sake House. Kind of feels like they get the overflow business. I came here for the first time a couple days ago for happy…More »

When you give a dish a fancy French name, does that make it more appealing? Do you know what tete de cochon is? Do you even want to know?

Tough. I will give it to you. It is pig head. Now I am not squeamish by the sight of one. I am Chinese and seen…More »

Hmm. Third consecutive Friday after work happy hour. Well, I was in the mood for sushi so I hightailed from Redmond to Nijo in downtown Seattle. It is close by to the Ferry Terminal and next to Belle Pastry if that gives you an idea of where it is…More »

Dined at Seastar as part of the Spring 2012 edition of Seattle Restaurant Week. Like several other high profile restaurants in Bellevue, Seastar is part of a corporate building complex. In this case, the Civica building.

In front of the restaurant,…More »

A pizza place in the I-District? And it is vegetarian?

I admit that I never thought that a pizza place in the ID was even a possibility. There is not much of a gwailo business presence in this area aside from banks. It is a bit ironic that it is…More »

It is with great luck that Christmas Eve happened to fall on a weekday as that meant I got the day off. So with time to waste, I visited Bellevue Square which was a madhouse of last minute shoppers. Getting to Z'Tejas is a bit tricky if you don't…More »

Crossroads Bar and Grill is the newest location of the Neighborhood Grills chain. Crossroads Bar replaced Chili's, which I kind of miss since there are no real locations in Washington anymore. Anyways, Crossroads is the closest happy hour option to…More »

I knew about Lunchbox Laboratory due to its rep, but it was only when they opened a Bellevue location that I decided to give them a try. I stopped by on Friday after work to take advantage of their happy hour which runs from 3 to 6 daily. I believe…More »

Attended a team morale event at Munchbar during happy hour. Hadn't been here until this event. My first impression was that this spot was quite massive. Makes sense since this becomes a Vegas style club in the evening. During the daytime, it is a…More »

Take one off the bookmark list! I have had Pearl on it for over a year.

Finally gave this place a try for happy hour, which is offered daily from 3-6 pm and 9 pm-12 am. They have a pretty sizable bar area and two TV screens which was showing a NCAA…More »

Visited SAM Taste today for happy hour. It is located on the lower level of the SAM with a wide view of 1st Avenue and... directly facing The Lusty Lady. Well, not exactly a great view but good for people watching I guess and with good dining…More »

Congee on a happy hour menu?

What Seattle restauranteur is audacious enough to put jook on a HH menu? Tom Doulgas, that's who.

Yes there are numerous Chinese restaurants particularly in the I-District serving congee. But for a non-ethnic restaurant…More »

Pizza for people who hate tomato sauce.

Serious Pie has been on my bookmark list for a while to try out. Specifically, to try out their happy hour. Unfortunately, the hours which are 3 to 5 pm on weekdays have always been a challenge to work out.

After a long work week, headed over to Tap House Grill for some happy hour drinking and eating. Too bad there was not any outdoor seating available. It was packed, while the bar area was mostly empty.

It is a nice space. Very modern and definitely has…More »

Yesterday was my first time visiting The Bravern and my thoughts are that it kind of looks very compact for a fancy, schmancy retail complex. After work, I decided to do happy hour in Bellevue and right across from the Bellevue Transit Center is Wild…More »
