Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Federal Way, WA

Monica Luna New favorite crab boil place!! Atomic sauce is delicious and super flavorful! Compared to other price point is alright but worth the price for the taste! Highly recommend

Missy Saffron I have been to few Ukrainian restaurants but this one is definitely the best one. Delicious shawarma and dumplings. Highly recommended.

Soung Son Federal Way was in dire need of a new shabu place and Shabu Zone seems to be the answer. It’s a sister store from the one in Texas and from talking to the servers the owner is from here which makes sense. Thank you! First off it’s super clean and well made and gives you a solid Korean-esque vibe which we loved and appreciated. Food was top notch, and the sauces are so good! The spicy ponzu! Is the move. Service was on point and the ice cream was better than what we expected whenever a restaurant says they got free ice cream. Long story short. Federal way has a ton of places that offer all you can Korean bbq for the similar price of shabu zone. The lunch special pricing is good and if you really for the funds, then dinner will be good too. Try it.

Jason Ray Pascua I had a great experience at Nami Sushi in Federal Way! After spending a few minutes trying to decide on the menu, our server came over and pointed out the specials—which made the decision so much easier. We ended up with 3 rolls, calamari, miso soup, and tea, all for under $70, which felt like a steal. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was just as impressive as the value. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Definitely a spot worth returning to when you’re craving good sushi without breaking the bank!

Mayri Orellana Sooo good. A decent selection for meats that are all delicious! The seasoned fries are amazing- so much flavor! Always so fresh and filling!!

sophi This is exactly how Korean BBQ should be! After a terrible experience at a high-end spot nearby, coming here was a breath of fresh air. The food quality is incredible—the meats are well-marinated and way better than the overpriced corporate places. The best part, though, is the service. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and they actually took the time to help us cook our food to perfection. You can tell they actually care about their customers regardless of who you are. No rushed timers or forgotten orders here—just great vibes and even better food. If you’re looking for authentic K-BBQ and top-tier service, support this local business instead. We will definitely be back!

J We really enjoyed Crawfish Island! The food and sauces were so amazing!! We got the Island Combo and chose the fried basket! It was so delicious but I do have to say that Im a little heartbroken over the fact that our lobster tail seemed off. It tasted weird and the texture was overly mushy. Never tasted or felt lobster like that before. I was expecting it to be juicy and flavorful. Maybe just bad luck on the tail but Other than that everything was absolutely delicious . I cant believe I forgot our waitresses name but she was very sweet and helpful. We came in on Tuesday 7/15 and it did end up getting really busy as we were leaving and she was so kind and helpful and it looked like she was running the dining area all by herself and doing an amazing job at it! My daughter got cheesecake for her birthday with a candle and the waitress even sang happy birthday for her! Super sweet! I definitely recommend Crawfish Island and cant wait until our next visit!!

Scott Best Jack’s BBQ – Grand Opening Breakfast, Federal Way Today was the grand opening of Jack’s BBQ in Federal Way, and I took my grandson for breakfast. The first thing you notice is the life-size cow on the roof — it’s impossible not to miss! The exterior is spotless and freshly painted, with bright neon window signs adding to the fun Texas vibe. Inside, it’s cozy and welcoming, with red-and-white checkered tablecloths and Texas décor filling the walls, including classic cow horns for that authentic touch. We arrived just minutes after they opened and were customers #3 and #4. The staff was friendly, and the full menu already featured all of Jack’s classics, plus a new breakfast section that’s a real winner. Breakfast includes three BBQ-meat tacos on flour tortillas with eggs, cheese, and potatoes — your choice of brisket, pulled pork, or jalapeño sausage. I ordered the brisket and sausage; my grandson Matt chose sausage too. Both were hearty, smoky, and packed with meat. The sausage had that signature BBQ flavor, sliced perfectly, while the brisket was tender and full of rich smokehouse flavor. Their breakfast is highly recommended — Matt even ate his taco in the car on the way to school! It’s great to finally have a place like this in Federal Way. We’ll definitely be regular customers.

S The catfish, hush puppies, fried okra, and Louisiana Boudin was cooked to perfection and was very delicious! My first time trying Louisiana Boudin and it didn’t disappoint. Great portions that will leave you satisfied. These guys are definitely cooking with peace and love! Keep it up! I’ll be back! Thank you!

Uanoo Kahua Roy my waiter was good music and ambience top notch.Definitely will come back.

Itchy Itchy The food here is amazing! Their kimchi is the best! We ordered the pork bossam, cheese pork ribs, spicy pork soup, fried chicken wings, and seafood pancake. Everything was perfectly crispy and light!

Kelly Miller Came here as a party of five with a reservation and they sat us a little early. Service was very attentive and nice. The water was never empty. I had the spiced pork chop and it was well flavored, the Brussels were cooked perfectly and the polenta was the star of the meal. I had a guava lemonade and it was slightly spicy with the tejin. The cream brulee was flavorful. No gluten free menu but lots of options and they said they could make adjustments as well.

sam I enjoyed various dishes at this Korean restaurant, including spicy stir fried chicken, donkatsu, fried chicken, and meat pancake. Each dish was prepared with exceptional care and flavor. The restaurants atmosphere was inviting and comfortable, with prices that were reasonable and generous portions. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves and interested in Korean food, especially for its delicious and unique dishes.

Audrey Tanberg This place is great. The Delux chicken sandwich was awesome, the Crispy Avo salad was great (added grilled chicken), and the kids loved their chicken tenders. We got the hand cut fries and the loaded fries. The custard was delicious! The kids got the cold fusions, but started eating them faster than I could take a photo. I hope they open one up in Seattle soon because I already can’t wait to come back. The employees were all so friendly too. Every one of them! They were all so helpful and nice! Amazing service for a walk up and order at the counter fee place. 10/10 recommend!

Leyda RA 1st time here today! My partner and I sat up by the bar area. Service was great! I enjoyed the music. My husband and I both enjoyed the food! I order the bowl of chili which I enjoyed the hearty steak sizes. The fish and chips. Fish was good and chips were great! We both enjoyed the HUGE pretzel with cheese sauce. He enjoyed the Sirloin Steak with mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies! Next time we come in I want to try the pull tabs (You do need to pay with cash but they have an ATM inside.). All in all our bill was around $73 without the tip. We both are sober so we just had water for drinks. I would have liked a menu of non alcoholic drinks. I didnt see it on the menu. They did give us a menu for alcoholic drinks. Thank you to the server who came by and picked up my to go boxes and put them on the bag. So thoughtful of you! She also mentioned their happy hour times which I believe are 3pm-6pm and 9pm to close. This is a great hangout spot for friends and family. They had a nice family section to the right and bar to the left with pool tables and a juke box. Also plenty of TV screens!!!
