This weekend she featured a crab roll, which is one of the best I’ve ever had service is friendly and personal, and the environment is very cozy and welcoming.“

“What a great find! We live in CA but visit relatives frequently. I'm not sure how we've never come across this place before!

Parkway Tavern checks all the boxes — great beer selection, delicious food, good music, and a really cool neighborhood atmosphere. It's tucked right into the middle of a residential neighborhood and feels like a true local spot.

The French dip was excellent. The roast beef was perfectly grilled, flavorful and tender, and the sandwich was really well done.

Bonus - the bathrooms were super clean!

Great food, great beer, ambiance, location and music. Definitely worth going a few miles out of your way!“

“Highly recommend! The buffalo chicken salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time.“

“I’m a cider snob and they had so many new ones for me! Companies I love but also brands I’ve never heard of. New flavors I’ve never had. I am so wildly impressed. I dropped a lot of money on cans to go but also stayed to have a few small pours.“

“Thanks for making the new beer Mirror's Edge in collaboration with our Burien Run Club (Burien Run Walk). It is really good! You are always friendly and this is just a great place for us to meet on Thursday nights. I can't recommend this establishment enough! shout out to Blake and to the brewer Michael. You are amazing!“

“I performed here a few weeks ago and I had a great time!! The room is super cozy, the staff is super friendly, and the bulgogi cheesesteak is delicious! I definitely recommend The Brick 😎“

“Stopped here to find a lotus energy drink and got lucky!!! They had a few options to choose from and all sounded very tasty! I got the "Glow Up" Coconut, Blue Raspberry, Blue Lotus Energy Drink with Coconut Milk! Tasted very good!!! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere, lots of tables and chairs. Relaxing, chill space. Lots of cider drinks to choose from as well as some food options. Very clean and tidy and would go here again if I'm in the area!“

“Great pizza! In fact, possibly one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. The other day I ordered a Caesar salad and I'm pretty sure the dressing I got was balsamic and there was way too much of it, so not impressed with that. Atmosphere is very basic. Some wobbly tables and a few TV's.“

“Good people good drinks! Just do it!“

“Visiting friends in Seattle, we were suggested in visiting Vashoon island and it's cool spots and this is definitely one of them.

After exploring the island a bit, we wanted to grab something to eat and stop at this cool shop. You will encounter essentially two eateries in one commercial spot but it's great that they each work together to make entertaining each other's store simply by walking through a walkway between them.

As far as food options it won't be extensive but it does have some great, unique options. I tried their chicken with teriyaki sauce plate and boy was it good. They also have great local alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available, some bottled, canned or even on tap. Seating can be tricky especially during peak hours or seasons so plan accordingly and just be patient. If you're waiting, just take a step outside and walk into some of the great independent shops next door or across the street. Parking may also be a challenge so read signs carefully to avoid getting a ticket or towed.

Overall, a great spot to grab a drink and a quick bite to eat mid day to break up your adventures on Vashoon.“

“I am a pizza person. living outside Manhattan for a while & having Mario's Pizza in Tulsa, OK.

I will order everytime im here to get my NYC pizza fix!“

“Impressed with the speed of the pickup service, never have to wait long.“

“I've had Underground Kitchen before, via delivery, so I knew I already enjoyed the food, but this was my first time entering the restaurant. One concern I have is regarding the accessibility of the location. As the name suggests, the restaurant is located underground requiring travel via stairs. I'm sure the restaurant is ADA compliant, but I do not know where the wheelchair accessible route is. Asides that, the vibe of the restaurant itself is nice and has this Korean bar feel. The music is on the louder side, but I enjoyed the Kpop that was being played. The restaurant is generally clean and there are complimentary candies near the register. The service was great and I had no problems with the staff. I went here with a friend and we got the Half Fried and Half Yangnyeom Chicken, and the Kimchi Cream Udon with Beef. In order for a classic Korean chicken shop to be considered good, they must nail both the original fried chicken and the yangnyeom chicken, to which UnderGround kitchen did. I prefer their chicken over Pelicana because of how well seasoned the meat was. The original fried was perfectly juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The yangnyeom could have been spicier, but it is a good spice level for the average American tastebud. Nonetheless, despite yangnyeom chicken being a saucy chicken, the coating was still crispy. As for the kimchi cream udon with beef, it was divine. The last time I tried their food I had the one with pork belly, and I remembered enjoying it then too, but wasn't sure if the pork belly was doing the heavy lifting as my favorite type of meat. I was quickly proven wrong with the beef udon because this was just as good as the pork belly kimchi cream udon. The noodles had a great bite to them without being undercooked. The beef was soft enough to chew through with healthy teeth. However, the kimchi cream sauce is what carried the whole dish, as both ingredients balance each other out. The sourness of kimchi reduces the richness of the sauce to a perfect level that is creamy enough, but not overly fatty, while the dairy content neutralizes the spice. I highly recommend UnderGround Kitchen.“

“We had a few fabulous meals, delicious and spectacular! Pork vindaloo marinated in tamarind vinegar, fish and farm-chicken xacuti, crunchy colourful vegetables stewed in coconut milk, and more. Even a mundane ingredient like yellow pumpkin, cooked simply in earthen vessels, tasted complex and exotic. If you ever offer cooking classes, i'd love to learn the basics!“

“Decent broth (does have MSG) , they do jave other MSG free options ok the menu. The friend rice can use some help bit overall it's decent.“

“This place is a gem among basic airport options. We had two orders of the signature beef patties and both order were incredible, so flavorful and cooked to perfection! We also had the chowder which is too notch. Add locally sourced beers, spirits and ingredients along with phenomenal service from Rocio and this was one of the most memorable airport meals we've ever had.“
