Kafe Neo – Mill Creek

Been here a couple times now and have really enjoyed it. Happy hour is great and on Wednesday s it’s half off bottle of wines! The bartender Steve is great! Great service every time! You can definitely tell he knows what he’s doing. He makes our experience that much more fun when we come in! THANK YOU STEVE!

Very unhappy. We ordered take out and when we got home we discovered they forgot to include the 3 salads that come with the meal. We called and the guy on the phone said he would not give us credit. Also the potatoes were way to salty and the rest of the food was just ok. It is also very very overpriced for what you get. Being a family of 6 we will never go back. I will also tell my employees never to go to your Lynnwood location for lunch. (About 10 people) on a regular basis. Poor customer service does not work.

They offer happy hour drink and food specials. The food is flavorful and complex. The falafel was moist, seasoned nicely, and had a nutty flavor that I liked. The ambiance is nice. The bar area can be a little cramped feeling but if it’s not busy and it’s just a couple folks in your party it can have a nice intimate feel.

The one in Mill Creek is amazing. Excellent service, wine, and food. Their hummus is amazing and their lemon chicken rice soup (it actually has a different name, which I can’t remember at the moment) is my go-​to every time I’m sick. I love trying something new whenever I go there. Great place for post-​workout (since LA fitness is right there) as well as a lunch date. They have a good selection of wines.
The one in Edmonds is really crappy. The people are rude, will charge you for every little thing you ask (for example, ketchup), and just down right bad. I only go there when I really just want the food since I live in Lynnwood. But yeah, the service there really sucks.

It is a freaking crime this place doesn’t have a 5 star rating. We came here on Jan 3 2016 to celebrate the new year with family and their BRUNCH WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. My mouth went to heaven when we had the bacon wrapped dates and my taste buds hugged their Calamari Tenders. However, my brain exploded trying to choose from the eggs benedict varieties or from their lunch options for Gyros. I have to come back to try everything, but today I opted for the flame broiled pork in their Spartan Gyro. Warning, the Italian sodas are worthy of a Dwarven party from Midgard. Big beer stein sized. OMG, this food is good and there is something for everyone, definitely too much to try in one trip. Trust me we tried and I’m glad I brought the truck to get the leftovers home. Generous portions and a ton of flavor. They put salt, pepper, and what I think was cayenne pepper powder (maybe mixed with some paprika) shakers on the table. You will not need them.
Service was also fantastic.

Saturday brunch menu & combo 1. The food wasn’t great but wasn’t bad either. The fruit on my brunch menu was horrible. Either way the price was reasonable. Although the food was a bit disappointing, the service was still great. I would probably come back just order something else.

My bf and I are on a mission to try all the eateries in Mill Creek. With that being said, we came on Sunday for breakfast to try Kafe Neo out!
We really like it! I was actually surprised how much we enjoyed breakfast/​brunch. I ordered the crab omelette and bf had the breakfast gyro. My crab omelette came with french toast and Greek potatoes which was awesome because I couldn’t decide between ordering the omelette or french toast! I’m not a huge fan of potatoes but the Greek potatoes were sooooo good, really flavorful! Bf really liked his breakfast gyro (it also came with potatoes and french toast). The only thing I didn’t like was my coffee but I don’t need to get coffee next time.
We’ll definitely be back to try other items!

Got take out from here a few weeks ago. I haven’t been inside but definitely a great location.
I had the Gyro with Greek fries.
I would love to come back and sit inside and have one of their Ya Ya’s plate.
Definitely a fan and will try again.

I can only rave about Kafe Neo, no rants — Here’s why. When it comes to «Greek food», Kafe Neo scores high on the list for local eateries. First and foremost, their main flagship dish, the Greek Gyro is fantastic. If you want the real wombo-​combo, order Greek fries + Gyro + Beer and you will enter a euphoric state of nomnoms. And if your Gyro game isn’t on point, the menu can suit most of your needs.
Their staff is always nice & quick, great lighting, seating is top notch, I seriously have nothing to complain about.

Go here for breakfast! It’s amazing.
They have breakfast-​style gyros with pita French toast

We don’t really have much in the way of Greek back where I live. So it was nice to go out and have a Greek meal.
We had a couple of big old appetizer platters with all kinds of goodies and they were very large and very tasty.
I had a lamb Gyro for my main dish. It tasted good, however, the lamb was not Shawarma like I expected. It was more of a shredded lamb type of preparation. It was tasty if unconventional.
The service was pretty prompt and attentive. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. I would certainly return again!

Food is good here. One of the better spots to eat in the Mill Creek Town Center for sure. Get the appetizer with the cheese that they light on fire — totally delicious.
My only complaint is that the restaurant is often dirty: floors are never swept, bugs flying around inside, tables dirty… it is kind of gross and kills the ambiance.

I’ve been a fan of Kafe Neo’s original location — on ⁹⁹⁄₂₁₂^th in Lynnwood/​Edmonds for many years — use to live less than a mile away and probably been a customer since 1999 or so.
It was my go-​to spot in Lynnwood when I was craving a gyro with feta.
The Mill Creek location…
I was in the area and passed by Kafe Neo. I hadn’t eaten any lunch yet, so I thought I’d pop in and get a gyro.
Parking: Unless you have parking karma, you are gonna have to walk. No big deal, it was a nice day out.
Service: Walked in the door. Young guy at the desk has his back to me while talking to the cook. Stand there… Stand there… Guy at the bar — who works there — tries to get the younger guy’s attention. No luck there, so he comes over and takes my order.
Ambiance: So I place my order and I’m scoping the place out. It’s what I do ;-) Looks clean, nice bar area and plenty of seating.
Food: Get my gyro to go because I gotta run. After being a big fan of the original location, I didn’t feel like this was the same thing. It was big and stuffed, but it sure seemed like a lot of shredded lettuce and not the nice balance of meat, lettuce, tzatziki that I was use to. The tzatziki also seemed a little off — not that it was bad, but that it didn’t seem to have the flavors of the other location.
More Food Notes: I just got a gyro, so I can’t comment about anything else. They seem to offer a lot of variety for lunch or dinner.
Summary: I’d have to agree with some of the other folks that posted reviews. Service seems like it could use some guidance and I think the food could use a little more attention to detail.

Terrible service…
45min wait time for 2 chicken gyros ???
The place was dirty! Bathroom combined with the back room was filthy
Over priced– $ 39 for 2 gyros.
Stay away. Just because they are in the town center doesn’t mean good.

Will not be back to this location. Service did not seem interested in serving, even though not busy. Wine glass was dirty. Someone between the bartender and the waiter should have noticed. Kind of felt unwelcome.
The Edmonds location is way better. Go there! This place needs to grow up and be serious.
Kitchen did great! Get the bacon-​wrapped dates!

It’s not a quite a chain, but there are two locations and other different style restaurants ran by the same company so almost. This place is fine for town center Greek food. The food is good, but it’s not like that authentic family run Greek spots.
The ambience is nice and is a good spot for a date night. The happy hour here is pretty good too, and in the summer they have good outdoor seating.
If you’re in the area and craving Greek this a good overall place to visit.

This place already has questionable reviews, but we decided to give it a try– mostly because we just finished a work out and my fiancé and I were STARVING and desperate for a place open at 9:00.
Lo and behold, this place is closed an hour before it’s supposed to be.
Good work ethics, people. Good work ethics.

Fruit flies every where :(
The food was ok. I probably would give it a 3 star rating if I didn’t have to battle the fruit flies for my food.
The location is fun, parking isnt too bad, and the comfort level of the restaurant is ok (not bad but nothing to brag about).

Meh.
I’ve been here 3 times and each time it was either okay or I regretted going.
The food is extremely mediocre and bland just like the service. It’s also rather overpriced for what you get. Nothing really stands out and I can think of 10 places I would rather go that have better food and a smaller price tag.
The last time I went here it was for happy hour. We were seated in the bar area and service was okay and food was bleh. They seated a couple next to us who had 2 young screaming children, one of them kept bumping my chair. I mean REALLY what’s the point of happy hour!!!
That was the final time I will ever come here. Nothing really worth coming for.

I’ve had my share of gyros and this place is just mediocre.
The pros–
The exterior and interior of this place is very nice, not like your typical gyro house on the ave, or downtown seattle.
The FRIES with the feta crumble was delicious! Loved that more than my gyro.
Lists of selections of gyros, falafels, rice plates, etc. They also have a brunch on weeknds!
The cons–
Service was beloew mediocre. We were seated by our hostess right away, but our server didn’t really come to us at a timely manner. We sat and waited for a while until we were finally approached with water. We didnt have utensils, so we had to ask. But he was fairly nice.
Pricey place for a gyro.
I had the chicken gyro with avocado & pesto. (Forgot the name of the dish) And it was just okay… It was too dry for me with the thick pita bread, there wasn’t enough sauce to keep the chicken moist. I had one peice of avocado in there. I was hoping there would be at like 2 – 3 slices, but I literally had a bite size of avocado.
The fries are delicious. I enjoyed those more than the gyro itself. Lol. It comes with a side of tzatiki sauce and ketchup. Never had that combo before, but it was fairly good.
Not worth it for me to go and get the same thing– but I am curious about the other gyros, so I’ll be coming back!
