Lunch or dinner in Issaquah?

[lbsowen]

It's been about 5 years since I've eaten in Issaquah. During the summer I will find myself there for lunch and/or dinner occasionally. Any recommendations? I like all kinds of cuisines, no price restrictions, I just want good meals. Thanks.

Pabla does good, fairly cheap Indian food. It's right near Gilman Village.

Noodle Boat is a favorite of mine. Their Tom Yum soup is the best I've found anywhere. I always start my meal with a bowl.

If you just want a snack instead of a full meal, stop by Rock and Roll Burger for a wonderful hand dipped milk shake.

Noodle Boat is great for Thai. Jak's is a place to get high quality steak at a good price. I've had some good meals and some bad meals at Bamiyan - they have both Afghani food and Persian and while I normally like Afghan cuisine better, I think that the Persian food here is better. There is also a new Tutta Bella outpost in Issaquah and TB is generally pretty good.

Sheehan loves Macky's dim sum:

He most certainly does, doesn't he! And recent too, I must check it out. Thanks!

Macky's does a bang-up job on their regular menu. While I personally thought that the overall dim sum experience was above average (though there are some outstanding individual items), their "dinner" menu shows great promise. Our party had a very good Szechuan Mix Seafood. Shrimp, sliced fish, tender squid and NZ mussels were served on a sizzling platter, bathed in a savory and spicy sauce, though the mussels were too large for my liking. The Sauteed Pea Vine is a cut above the traditional style in which pea vines are usually served, namely in a garlic sauce. Macky's sauce was much more savory and was topped with sauteed enoki mushrooms. Finally, I will find it difficult to taste a better example of BBQ Roast Duck, very meaty with incredibly crispy skin. The duck really doesn't need the plum sauce that accompanies it. Macky's is definitely worth return visits to try some of their other specialties.

Ditto on Noodle Boat. The best Thai in the Seattle area.

Oh good, Tutta Bella, didn't know about that. Thanks!
