Odin Lounge - Redmond

The only reason why this place gets 4 stars is because of the games you can play when you are eating! Besides the games, the drinks/cocktails were gross, and the food was average. I would never go to this place because of their food or beverages. For drinks, I got the Cafe de Blanc, The First Edition, Sinnoh Pearl, and the Silver City beer. The cocktails were either too sweet or tasted like they did not mix the drink correctly. The beer was good, though! We got the Five-spice chicken bites and Mexican street fries for appetizers. For our entree, we got a bacon chicken ranch sandwich with ceased salad and a Mox classic burger with bacon and a side of Mac and cheese. Our server said that the appetizers we picked were some of his favorite, but they were whatever and way below average for a typical restaurant. The sandwich and burger were good, but nothing special. The best part of the meal was the Mac and cheese! The server was really nice, and the people who help you pick out the games are the best! They have so much knowledge about games and picked out games that fit perfectly what we were looking for. The ambiance of this place is clean and modern. It is the nicest place I have been to that has games at the restaurant. Tip: skip the cocktails and stick with the beer. On the weekend, go early, or you will have to wait.

Mox Boarding House is such a cool spot in Bellevue! If you're looking to grab food, drinks, and play a variety of board games, this is definitely a place to visit. My boyfriend and I came here for the first time tonight to have dinner and play some games and we had such a fun time! It was pretty packed since it was a Friday night the parking lot is very small and was full so we luckily found street parking. The hostess told us that the wait time would be an hour or so but we were luckily seated after waiting ~15 20 minutes. We wandered around the shop area to look at the wide variety of games while we waited and the employees were all very helpful and asked if we needed assistance or had any questions about any games. For drinks, we ordered the sinnoh pearl, cafe la blanc, first edition, and a beer. The cocktail menu is very limited there were only four options to choose from. Our drinks were okay, I wouldn't order the sinnoh pearl again. My boyfriend didn't like his drinks and they weren't filled up all the way either which was disappointing. Would probably only get beer next time I'm here. For food, we ordered the five spice chicken bites and Mexican street fries for appetizers and the Mox classic burger with a side of mac and cheese and the chicken bacon ranch sandwich for our entrees. The appetizers were okay, nothing special and we wouldn't order these again. I enjoyed the burger and mac n cheese, they were tasty. The service was wonderful! Our server was very friendly and continued to check in on us despite the fact that it was busy and he had a lot of tables. The ambiance is really cool as well. I've never been somewhere like this before. There's different sections main dining area, game shop, private bar area, tournament room, and a trading card room. It's a pretty loud place with mostly everyone playing games over dinner but it's such a great time and we'll definitely be back!

This is a place where it's definitely worth checking their event schedule before you go. We popped in on a night where they were having trivia and a puzzle event, so seating was limited. We put our name down on the restaurant list, and got a table in about 45 mins. Once seated, the waiter took our order and wasn't seen again for quite some time. Ended up placing a second drink order and food with someone else, which was fine. No silverware or anything provided, we had to ask another (third) person. It's pretty loud in the restaurant with everyone chatting and playing games, and be prepared for the occasional yell when someone wins. Food is good! I had the chicken bacon ranch and the tofu bites. Both were really good! I wish they had a bigger cocktail menu (there were only 3) but they do have a full bar if you know what you want, along with coffee. Wasn't a fan of their coffee based cocktail, it curdled within minutes. Great spot to buy MTG if you need anything, from sleeves to boosters. They have a good selection. The worst thing about this spot is parking. It's super limited, and depending on the time you go, you cannot use neighboring businesses lots. We went at 6:30, so surround businesses were closed and all was fair game. I circled for about 5 mins before I found a spot. If you like MTG, DND, or playing board games, I highly recommend this spot! It's great!

5/5 experience and 2.5/5 stars on food. I've been to the Mox in Seattle and have similar comments about the Bellevue location. I highly recommend Mox for the gaming experience and ambience, and definitely not for the food. My group and I had a fun time playing a few games with our appetizers. We ordered the five-spice chicken bites which was their take on Taiwanese popcorn chicken and the Mexican street fries. We finished the chicken but not the fries since they tasted pretty bad. The menu description says they're crispy battered, but they were just normal fries with an odd combo of seasonings.

Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Experience: 5/5 This establishment is half board game shop and half restaurant. My party of 4 came on a Friday evening and was able to get seated in the restaurant. Let 's just say food and service are very subpar. HOWEVER, most folks come here to rent a board game to play; there are so many and there 's not necessarily a time limit to how long you can stay. I had a really great experience and got exposure to very unique games that I had not heard of before.
