Goodbelly LLC — Restaurant in Mill Creek

I have never had malasadas before and I am so glad that my first time experience was through Good Belly as the malasadas here are absolutely delicious. It almost feels like you're eating a cloud with how fluffy and light the dough is! I was worried it was be overly sweet but the amount of sugar and filling isn't excessive. So far, we have had their plain, POG, chocolate, and ube mochi-sadas. Our personal favorite has to be the ube mochi-sadas as it is just an explosion of ube flavor while being super light.

The staff as well as the owner is great about communication. I have called, texted, and spoke in person with them and always had a pleasant and professional response. They clearly care for their customers and ensure that you leave happy. It also seems like they are quite popular and well-loved by people from not only Auburn but all over in Washington, as there was a line forming more than 30 minutes before opening, so plan ahead especially for limited edition items that they share on Facebook or Instagram.

The truck has clear and concise menu on their truck, which is great as sometimes other trucks have multiple plastered everywhere when there might be one main menu at the ordering station. We arrived early and saw how they came out to clean the ordering station and they also provide napkins as you will definitely need them. Prices are...

TL;DR: can't get any better than warm and fresh! This truck is just so elusive! Generous dough to filling ratios.

Location: rotating locations -- follow the social media account for schedules. There is a second truck in the works but it isn't running quite yet! Generally Kent, Kirkland, Bothell, Everett areas so far and some small food festivals.

Menu: rotating flavors -- follow the social media account for updates! I have yet to try that elusive creme brulee flavor!

Mochi Ube: Limited edition malasada. Not filled but I enjoyed the light and chewy texture of this one. It is very lightly sweetened which is perfect but I do wish there was more of an ube flavor punch. If you ever see "mochi" available, get one to try it out!

You can't go wrong with any of the filling flavors really. They all have a lovely custard texture and lightly sweetened flavor. I do have to say the lilikoi was my favorite but I do wish it was slightly more tangy. The chocolate is really good too. Maybe in the future some fresh fruit bits can be included in the...

Food: the malasadas are absolutely delicious. Reminds me of home, growing up on Leonard’s. (Someone must have the recipe cause I swear it’s identical) I really enjoy that they have rotating flavors and even if the wait is long. We don’t mind it, it just means it’s good and worth waiting for! Good things take time to make, and it’s worth every minute!

Service: the service is always great. All the people that I’ve encountered are very genuine and give service with a smile and they apologized for the long wait today. (If I didn’t want to wait, I wouldn’t have ordered) they’re a little short staffed, but it didn’t shy away from the quality of service they gave or the taste of the malasadas.

Overall: 5 star review because we should make a better habit about posting good reviews when the food and service is great. Hard work, dedication, and good food shouldn’t be overlooked. Keep it up Goodbelly, and thanks for coming down...
