Semicolon Cafe

Sandwiches were mediocre. I got the bulgogi sandwich and the ham sandwich. I was expecting more from the bulgogi sandwich. The meat was not well seasoned. I think if they used traditional bulgogi sauce with the bulgogi, it would taste better. Ham sandwich was decent.

Great place in Bellevue - highly recommend their bulgogi sandwich which I have had numerous times! Flavours are great and casual seating and eatery is one of the nicer ones in Bellevue without being too pricey. Dessert wise I would recommend the banana pudding - that has always been my go to. Would recommend the flat white too - not a popular drink in the US but the standard order in UK. They do it the best out of the (few) places I have found in Seattle that do it!

Wanted to like this place but as many others have stated, you can make this better at home. My sandwich was extremely saucey, to the point where there was a pool of sauce on the tray and I couldn't really taste anything else. I also ordered avocado for my sandwich, which they forgot. I let them know and they gave me a side of it, instead of just fixing the sandwich. It wasn't easy getting their attention either, as the staff person at the counter was sitting on the ground off to the side on her phone. I feel like if you're going to spend money on a sandwich, it should be better than what you can make yourself or at least be made correctly.

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally had the chance after visiting the Bellevue Botanical Garden last weekend. We came in for lunch and ordered by kiosk at the front counter. I ordered the spicy chicken egg sandwich plus a matcha bomb, then took a seat at the high table by the windows to wait.The wait wasn't too long, and my food and drink were served on a little wooden tray. I was looking forward to having an egg toast experience like I had when I was living in Korea, but unfortunately I have to say I was disappointed in the one I got. The chicken was thick but not wide, so it was basically a 2-bite chunk which left me with soggy bread for the rest of the sandwich. The brioche roll was.. unrolling while I ate, so as I was holding it, there would just be strips of bread that would unfurl with each bite. The egg had no flavor, so it all came down to the sauce that was drizzled on top, which was a nicely spiced sauce. I'd be willing to give another flavor a try, but would not be making my way back to Bellevue just to do that.The matcha bomb was good - it was matcha with a shot of espresso. It seemed like there may have been black sesame in it? Either that or a TON of espresso bean flakes made their way into the drink. My friend had gotten a matcha latte, which was a bit confusing as she ended up with very light green milk, essentially (minimal matcha flavor).Overall, it was so-so. Satisfied the hunger though.

This sandwich place in Bellevue never disappoints, I make sure to stop by here whenever I am in Bellevue.

Hipster Asian fusion sandwich place that I had been on list to try and finally got to go. This is definitely a place to try but would not be a go-to place if I was in the area. Parking: Shared retail parking for the building Pet friendly: Yes - I would have assumed no since the café is super tiny without an outdoor seating but there was a dog the day I went.Family friendly: Yes if your child can sit on a backless stool without you worry they will fall off LOLFOOD: Overall: Go in knowing that there is a base for the sandwiches meaning all of them have scrambled eggs with grilled corn and lettuce in between toasted brioche bread. This is my personal preference but I'm not a fan of brioche... its fluffy but its "too fluffy" that there isn't a good density that holds everything in the sandwich. No matter what I've had between brioche, it always always always falls apart. The eggs did not have any taste to it... like it needed just basic salt and pepper. I also didn't taste any corn. If I didn't read corn in the menu description, I wouldn't have thought there was any.1. S.O.S Sandwich (base, tomato, red cabbage, cheddar cheese, Kiwi sauce, mayonnaise) $9.49: 2 Stars - I know some people are adverse to mayo but I love it. But literally all I taste is mayo. 2. Chicken Sandwich (base, spicy chicken, red onion, jalapeno, mozzarella cheese, spicy sauce) $11.49: 2 Stars - Not spicy at all and the flavor was just okay. I love spicy and there was barely a kick. 3. Lox Sandwich (base, Arugula, smoked salmon, red onion, yogurt dill sauce) $12.49: 3 Stars - I understand the sandwich is small but I feel like they skimped on the filling. The ratio was off - meager amount of smoked salmon (like one slice/piece) to sauce. All I could taste was mushy-non-corn-tasting-eggs and dill sauce. 4. Bulgogi Sandwich (base, tomato, marinated beef bulgogi, red onions, Bulgogi sauce) $11.99: 2 Stars - Bulgogi has a distinct flavor that I did not get here. The one good thing I can say about this sandwich is there was at least a textural difference with it being a beef sandwich. MENU/RESTAURANT: When I walked in I actually thought this place was a walk up and order place only because of how uber small it was. My plan was a quick sit down lunch with my family but we had to do take out as there was no way my 2 year old son could stably sit down on the modern cubes they had for most of their seating. The loved the décor inside - very clean, simple, modern, and black and white. I like the idea of the menu - small, streamline, and focused on a few things. What is better than a pretty sandwich? I love carbs so anything in sandwich form is great. SERVICE:Meh. You order from a tablet so you don't actually have much interaction with anyone. I saw a few folks behind the counter but no one that made eye contact or spoke to me until they called out my number... the girl just said the number, pushed out my bag, and didn't really say anything else.

This place was very nice and modern. The shop was small, so finding seating is first come first serve and limited spacing. Their staff was nice, did their job - not super talkative, maybe a language barrier? But regardless, they were friendly. Regarding the food, I ordered the bulgogi egg sandwich and it was 10/10. SO GOOD. The presentation was spot on and it was not only aesthetically pleasing but very tasteful! The coffee selection was ok, not a huge fan. But I didn't go there for coffee. I went there for their sandwiches. Will be going back there for sure!

Ordered the bulgogi sandwich and it was pretty tasty. It does get a little messy so be careful. It is quite small and not very filling so don't come expecting to get full off one sandwich. I did notice they had desserts and drinks so hopefully I'll be able to try some of those out next time! Come try if you're in the area.

Very cute aesthetic cafe! The chicken sandwich with the spicy sauce was very yummy. The sandwich is super filling. I will be back to try the other sandwiches. The strawberry bingsoo was good as well.

The food is beyond our expectations. We got recommended by our friends because of the nice presentation of the sandwiches. We were thinking to go there once and take some pictures for instagram. Didn't expect the food was so tasty. We ordered the bulgogi sandwich and tuna sandwich. Both tasted so well. The presentation, the taste and fast service was better than most of the instagram famed stores that we have visited so far in greater Seattle area. Btw, the tiramisu latte was great too! Plan to try the smoothies next time.
