The Best Restaurants in Redmond, by the Record

The best restaurants in Redmond, by the professional record: Seattle Met has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Kobuta & Ookami comes out on top.

  1. A katsu shop born from the owners' off-hours obsession with Japanese cutlets, this Redmond spot keeps things focused: pork, chicken, cheese, all fried to a crunch you can hear across the room. The chef pulls from Tokyo tradition and Vancouver's izakaya scene, so the cutlets land in dark chocolate curry, bubbling nabe, or buried under enough grated Parmesan to require a snow shovel. A focused, casual lunch counter doing one thing with real conviction.
