5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

The Giest House Restaurant in Kenmore is a must!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

As with most of the surrounding area the traffic is terrible. This is pretty much due to the fact that the streets have no pattern or reason to how they were laid out.

5/5 - Excellent

Hana Sushi is the best in the Seattle area.
