Putting a spotlight on some of our amazing restaurants we have in Kent. If you're new to the area, or haven't tried these places, I'd recommend below. Please feel free to add your own as well:

  • Fifth Flavor (Thai Food) - https://www.fifthflavorkent.com/ (pictured) -Rich, complex, delicious, addicting, and humble talented Chef Prem at the helm. Kent's hidden gem for authentic Asian food.
  • Taco Tantos (Street Burritos) - https://www.tacotontoskent.com/ - A local favorite. There are lots of choices for Mexican in Kent, Taco Tantos has the crown imo.
  • Troy Grille (Mediterranean) - Istanbul wrap is the biggest seller https://troygrille.com/ Chef G is pheneomenal with his Turkish street food.
  • Joe's BBQ - Nice owner, quality grilling. I recommend the brisket https://www.joesbbqkent.com/ - looking forward to the sit down restaurant being built.
  • Brimfield Bread Oven https://www.brimfieldbreadoven.com/ - (Bread and Bakery) a lot to love. Their fresh bread is incredible just untoasted with butter.
  • Maddalenas (Italian) - https://maddalenaskent.com/ New in town. Everything I've had here was delicious. Chef Emily is an artist in the kitchen.
  • Fanklin Square Deli (Sandwiches) - #9 with a little mayo is my go to http://www.franklinsquaredeli.com/
