Seattle Office Warriors' Luxe Lunch Break Series 🐂🍖
Brought a friend to work today—of course we had to treat ourselves to a fancy midday feast! Found this sleek Japanese steakhouse [Itadaki] near the office. The ambiance? Quiet, elegant, and totally date-worthy. 🥩 Lunch Special Beef Combo ($39.95) Four premium cuts: tongue, short rib, rib fingers, and chuck flap—all my faves! Served with veggies (loved the king trumpet mushrooms and bell peppers). Portions are refined, not huge, but the marbling and flavor? Chef's kiss. Simple seasoning lets the umami-rich beef shine. 🍝 Mentaiko Salmon Pasta ($26.95) Every strand coated in briny mentaiko—so savory! The salmon skin? Crispy perfection. Inside? Buttery-soft. 🔥 Pro Tip: At lunch, you grill your own meat (dinner = server-assisted). Aim for medium-rare (5-7/10) for maximum tenderness! 🏠 Itadaki 📍 550 106th Ave NE Suite #101, Bellevue, WA 98004 Why Office Warriors Love It: ✔ Upscale but low-key (ideal for biz lunches) ✔ Top-tier meat quality without the price tag ✔ Cozy, intimate vibe (no chaotic grill-smoke clouds) #BellevueEats #JapaneseBBQ #SeattleSteakhouse #LunchBreakLuxury #MeatLovers #DateSpot #BellevueLife #FoodieFinds #WorkHardEatHard #SeattleFoodScene #HiddenGem #YakinikuVibes #TreatYourself #NoRegrets
