“I know all restaurants can’t be like Wally’s, but I wish they could. Went on a Friday night while I was staying at SeaTac waiting for a flight and had a great experience. My server, Jammie, didn’t miss a beat. Clam chowder and Lingcod were perfect! The owner was walking around and talking to every table and making everyone feel welcomed and taken care of.“

The chicken tandoori pizza was a fantastic example of creative fusion. My buddy and I destroyed a large in 10 minutes.

Wish I was in town another night to try a different pizza!“

Regular chicken teriyaki was delicious and the spicy chicken was so good and spicy and both were huge portions. Egg rolls were great also. Will definitely be back.“

I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to my father in law. Willy was so kind, professional and flexible! Thank you for granting a wish and adding a bright spot. You made someone smile today at a tough time.“

The staff were especially patient with all my questions about the menu and Mexican food as I am so unfamiliar.

Its the kind of place where they remember you, remember what you drink and what you like to eat.

“Went to pick up a friend and we were looking for a late night place to grab food. He noticed the 24 hour sign and so we made a U-turn and headed into the drive-thru. Drive-thru is a little slow. I commented to my friend, "this place has to be awesome for the wait to be this long..." and... it was awesome. ordered the carne asada burrito and my friend ordered the carnitas burrito and an asada taco. so, the wait in the drive-thru was WORTH it. really big portions. actually eating the other half of my burrito right now and it still tastes great even after having been sitting in my fridge overnight and then nuked in the microwave. definitely will be back. next time though, i think going inside will be the plan.“
