The Best New Restaurants in the Seattle Area, March 2025

"In the Lake Hills area of Bellevue, Tasty House is the latest of four or five Sichuan restaurants to pop up in the 148th-and-Main neighborhood recently — although to be fair, it replaces Szechuan Chef, so it’s a lateral move. Fresh off a remodel, the strip mall spot is serving updated versions of the super-spicy Sichuan suspects, like mapo tofu, Chongqing hot chicken, and boiling beef all loaded up with chilis and your choice of organ meats. Tripe and intestines are repping strong on the menu, but a taste for them isn’t required, as many dishes are served without ‘em. A love for capsaicin, however, is mandatory." - Harry Cheadle
