Department Bento

100 Bellevue Square at Nordstrom, Downtown

Department Bento is a Japanese and Asian fusion spot from Seattle chef Tom Douglas, who owns 16 restaurants around the city, including Lola, Dahlia Lounge and Etta's. This is his first project on the east side, and Department Bento is a fast-casual build-your-own concept inspired by Japanese bento boxes.

Diners choose between a bento box, rice bowl or salad, then pick a main such as curried chicken with garlic mayo; seared tofu with shallots; or albacore tuna poke with seaweed. Finally, the meal is topped off with a choice of veggies. Here's the menu.

Department Bento has received mixed reviews on Yelp thus far. 

Gary P. noted, "Really good food. Had the bento box with teriyaki steak, matcha green beans, ginger carrots, miso devil egg, kimchi, picked daikon, cucumber and two types of rice ... The steak could have been warmer but the flavor was great."

Yelper Cathy M. wrote, "I liked the concept but the food was so confusing to me. Everything was so lukewarm that I really craved something warm to fill me. Instead, I just felt sad."

Department Bento is open from 11 a.m.–8:30 p.m. on Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m.–6 p.m. on Sunday.

Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi

10400 N.E. Fourth St., Suite 3100, Downtown

Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi resides on the 31st floor of the Lincoln Center South tower. The high-end restaurant comes from Ascend Hospitality Group, which is also responsible for the tower's Lincoln South Food Hall, a collection of seven fast-casual restaurants.

The sushi menu features contemporary rolls like spicy tuna and prosciutto, miso black cod, and hamachi and shaved truffle with orange and Okinawan sweet potato. Other options include steaks, oysters and caviar. 

With a 3.5-star rating out of 97 reviews on Yelp, Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi is still finding its way, but it's early days.

Yelper Max K., who reviewed the upscale spot on Sept. 1, wrote, "The diamond point oysters were quite good. My favorite appetizer was the pork belly. It had very good flavor. ... I got the Seattle wagyu ribeye cap this time and it was prepared perfectly."

Yelper Ron M. wrote, "Without question, the best view possible in Bellevue. So this, combined with its very cool decor makes it a great place to wow friends and guests."
