Ivar's Seafood - Issaquah

The food here is fantastic—fresh, flavorful, crispy, and delicious. The customer service is excellent, and the restaurant is clean and spacious. Every bite is enjoyable, and the fries are especially tasty. The young cashiers are friendly, and the manager is nice. The atmosphere is inviting. I highly recommend this place!

I recently dined at one of the Ivar's locations with my family, and while the customer service was outstanding and the facility was clean, I couldn't help but notice that the size of the fish seems to be getting progressively smaller. We have enjoyed meals at various Ivar's over the years, and this location stands out for its great service. However, during our last visit, I was disappointed to find that I had to pay around $2.00 for a small side of coleslaw, which unfortunately tasted as if it had been made two weeks prior. I didn’t bring this to the staff's attention because they were exceptionally busy attending to other customers.

I ordered scallops but received a few rocks instead. This will be the last time I order from them.

The restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly. I visited on July 8, 2023, and I want to give a shout-out to the team working that night. The service was quick, and you can often gauge the quality of a place by the number of customers waiting for their food. I usually go to the location in Coulon Park, but it can get quite busy during the summer. It might be worth the drive to come to Issaquah instead. Thank you, everyone! Food rating: 5/5.

I really enjoy visiting the Ivar's Seafood Bar in Issaquah. It's conveniently located near my home, always clean, and the staff are very friendly. You can always rely on getting delicious fast food seafood here. Today, I shared an order of five-piece fish and chips, and I appreciated that I could substitute fries for a healthier option like a Caesar salad or coleslaw. The side salad was a good portion, too! I also ordered my favorite dish, scallops and fries, but swapped the fries for another Caesar salad. The scallops are consistently large and juicy, and I love that Ivar's uses a light breading on their fish and scallops—not too heavy on the batter. Everything was very satisfying, and the seafood tasted incredibly fresh.
