Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Bellevue, WA

Forrest Marshall This place has it all. Great and friendly staff paired with unique and tasty food. Chicken Marsala was delicious, the rabbit and wild mushroom ravioli was great and the soups and salads were on point.

Rahul G We went here recently for our anniversary dinner and it was a great experience. The service staff was super friendly and attentive. Service through the whole meal was attentive without being intrusive. We got the window seats which are great for people watching. The food was delectable. I would highly recommend the Oysters Rockefeller. We also took the Chilean sea bass and the NZ King salmon as entrée and both were cooked just right. Would definitely be coming back here!

Donna no Todiyah was our server tonight for our large party. She was very attentive, patient and very friendly! She was so helpful with a smile and never made us feel like anything we asked for was too much or a bother. I really appreciate her sense of making us feel like family! Thank you Todiyah!!! Do yourself a a favor, get the 3D garlic toast!

Ali Zareei I had a wonderful experience at Cantinetta. The atmosphere and food felt truly authentic Italian, and the service was warm and attentive. Every dish was prepared beautifully, full of flavor and care. A perfect spot for anyone who loves genuine Italian dining!

Tash Haynes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such an amazing time at STK! The drinks were absolutely incredible, so well crafted and delicious. The staff went above and beyond; everyone was so polite, attentive, and accommodating. I missed celebrating my birthday a few months ago, and they helped me make up for it in the biggest way. From start to finish, I felt so cherished and adored. It truly turned into a night I’ll never forget, and I can’t recommend STK enough for anyone looking for great food, amazing vibes, and staff who make you feel special.

Ruimin Zeng I tried the beef rice bowl and the tofu pudding — both were absolutely delicious! The flavors were authentic and well-balanced, and the portion size was just right. The place was clean and well-kept, and the service was friendly too. A great spot if you’re craving some tasty and hygienic Chinese street food. Highly recommend!

Salim Ali Khan We hosted our company event at Forum Social House in Bellevue, and it turned out to be a grand success from start to finish. Everything came together seamlessly, making it a fantastic choice for a group gathering. The food was genuinely amazing, which is often a hit-or-miss with large events and event-style menus but here, it was a definite hit and enjoyed by everyone. One of the highlights was having a couple of Topgolf swing suites reserved just for our group, along with neighboring rooms that had other games set up as well. This gave everyone plenty of options to move around, try different activities, and keep the energy high throughout the event. There was truly no shortage of games or fun things to do, and it kept the atmosphere lively and engaging. Between the great food, ample games, and well-organized space, everyone had an absolute blast. Forum Social House is an excellent venue for company events, team outings, and group celebrations. Definite recommendation, and a place we’d happily book again.

Christina O Amazing soup dumplings I prefer pork and kids prefer the chicken. Really can’t go wrong! Vegetable noodles from the wok are wonderful love the thickness of the noodles. Garlicky green beans are so good. My kids don’t like green beans and they love these. Not a fan of the spicy wonton flavor, but just personal preference. Chocolate filled mochi dessert is so decadent and rich. I always get some to go and reheat well!! Great service and food comes out family style and it just keeps coming. Love the darker ambiance but the tables are lit well.

Brandy Jacobsen Visiting from out of state, this was so clean and fresh. The food was so delicious, everything I ate or drank was a 10/10. Ginger sesame salad was amazing

Naon Foongfuang I was so pleasantly surprised—everything was amazing. The food was delicious, and the drinks were perfect. Our server, Alashae, was amazing and made the experience even better. Just a heads-up: you do need to put your name and credit card down to secure a table, but the process was super easy and quick. We got a table within 10 minutes on a Friday night, which honestly isn’t bad at all. I highly recommend staying a little longer for happy hour drinks—the cocktails were so good. I ordered the spicy pasta, blackened chicken, and some ribs, and everything was absolutely delicious.

Julia Lapin I’ve loved cafe Hagen for years since I started going to the location in Queen Anne. As someone who loves Scandinavian culture and architecture this place is the perfect American adaptation of it. The opening of the Bellevue location is like no other. It has the perfect atmosphere for people who are meeting with friends, getting work done or taking zoom calls. The food menu is so expansive from all day breakfast items, fusion lunches and Scandi style weekend brunches. There’s truly something for everyone. The pastries are baked fresh every morning and are some of the most delicious pasties in the Seattle area. Not only is the coffee to die for, with its home made syrups and beautiful latte art there also is a wide variety of specialty cocktails for happy hour evenings! The staff is friendly and extremely efficient. Even when lines are 15 people long they do a great job of getting orders for everyone with a friendly and professional attitude. I can’t recommend this place enough! Everyone should try it

Shawn H This was my first time eating here. The place was pretty clean inside. The staff had decent customer service. The best thing about this place is the food. Lots of sauces that complement the meals perfectly. I wish they had one of these where I worked. I’m only here for a few days, but I will eat here at least two more times.

Salim Ali Khan We stopped by Cactus in Bellevue for a quick bite before heading to a company/team event, and it turned out to be a great choice. We ordered nachos and guac for the table, and both were spot on fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we needed for a quick, satisfying stop. A special shoutout to Jenise, our host, who was fast, efficient, and incredibly helpful. She made sure our orders were placed quickly, kept things moving smoothly, and helped us with both the food and a couple of drinks, which we really appreciated given our tight timeline. Overall, it was a great experience easy, efficient, and enjoyable. Looking forward to coming back when we have more time to actually sit down and dine properly.

C C Neighborhood bar that is casual and so easy to stop in and have casual drink if youre not in mood for any other fancy schmancy places in Lincoln / Bellevue Square. I have to admit I was pretty devastated when Pearl (previous bar in this location) closed down but ever since I discovered Legion with my friends I have been coming here whenever Im in the area and this is now my favorite bar. I dont know where they find servers and bartenders but theyre the most nicest and funniest people exuding positive energy customers. Honestly Bellevue crowd can be dry and dull sometimes at other restaurants and bars in the area, Not here! Always good times. If youre just in mood to grab some appetizers and drinks I recommend their wings they got them wings perfected that goes great with beer or cocktails. If you have a group and cant decide on individual drinks, get a Bammarita to share and you will be guaranteed a good time. They make it strong and delicious. As a long time Downtown Bellevue resident and now a frequent visitor, Ive seen many Bellevue restaurants and bars that just try to do too much and it ends up missing the mark with vibe and service with mediocre food, hefty price. Legion is doing a great job delivering good food, drinks while giving the easy, comfortable neighborhood bar in town. Park in Lincoln Square and just take the elevator or walk across from Bellevue Square!

KKCHLOE W We had two set meals for $35 total, which didn’t include the crispy pork. The spicy broth had a rich flavor — it started off mildly spicy but got hotter the longer it cooked. The fish tasted great in the spicy soup. The cold dishes at the sauce bar were also delicious. The hot pot had a wonderful aroma. I think it’s a better value than Haidilao across the street — Haidilao is more expensive, gives smaller portions, and their side dishes aren’t as tasty.
