China Harbour - near Space Needle
Japanese Gourmet - 82 Stewart (Pike Place)
Game Works - 7th Avenue
Built Burger - 217 James Street
Osain - 5th Avenue
The Peking - located in Bellevue
TIA, Rampage
China Harbor - It's enormous, relatively remote (on Lake Union quite a way from anything) and old. Also overpriced and mediocre. It's one of those places that you drive by and wonder HOW it manages to stay open. We went once - I think Reagan was President - and vowed never to return. (Answer, I think, is that it's huge and does a lot of weddings and parties.)
Japanese Gourmet - Haven't tried it; reviews are decidedly mixed. Unless your kids like sushi and donburi dishes, I'd look elsewhere around the Pike Market.
Gameworks - Remarkable, hellish throwback to the 90s - my head hurts just thinking of eating there.
Built Burger - Again, never been. It looks like you'd definitely need the coupon to keep from overpaying for a... burger?
O'Asian - Used to go there a lot (wife worked in the office building where it's located.) Pretty so-so, aside from very corporate decor. It's mainly a lunch place for office workers.
The Peking - No idea.
If you're looking for cheap Asian food around lunchtime (e.g. O'Asian, Japanese Gourmet, Peking?) I'd suggest you go instead to Uwajimaya in the International District -
www.uwajimaya.com - and hit the food court. Everything from burgers to Thai, Japanese to Filipino to Hawaiian Plate Lunches (kids and many of us oldies think Aloha Plates is da bomb) - and everybody can choose their own. Cheap, lots of food (save room for the Vietnamese chocolate cream puffs) and when you're done, a walk through the Uwajimaya grocery/department store is a tourist destination in its own right. A GREAT place, by the way, for a nosh before a baseball game, provided you get there before the stalls start to close around 5.
