“Just left and im so full and taste buds are satisfied. Great service, food & drinks. I'll be back for sure 💯”
“We have been there a couple of times. Everything has been excellent. Prices are comparable to other sushi restaurants in the area. Our only complaint is the tea is a bit week. Still deserves 5 stars.”
“I managed to get an order in before they closed. I got the beef short rib soup. It was amazing! The meat was super tender. I also grabbed a side of kimchi, which was pretty tasty. Can't wait to come back!”
“We were at Red Robin today for lunch with 2 birthday's in our party and we had an amazing experience. We were very happy with our waiter Zachary. He was very accommodating even if things were running a little slow. Thank you for a fantastic lunch experience Red Robin 😊 very satisfied”
“We discovered this place today and it was an absolute delight. The food was top notch. The prices were right. The service was exceptional. The atmosphere was very inviting. Seriously, the best ramen and bao buns I have ever had. We will happily drive several hours to come back.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Have had the lunch special several times now. The food is fresh and the sauces are very flavorful. I highly recommend the Mongolian Beef, the Kung Pao Chicken, and the Pork and green beans. The special includes soup and an egg roll. Both the hot and sour and the won ton soups are some of the best I've had. What a great deal for such delicious food. Will definitely be back!”
“everything we eat was very yummy and so fresh, would recommend to everyone”
“This place has authentic Italian and pizza. We had tortellini with pesto sauce and seafood risotto and both were amazing. Dessert was orange dreamsicle cheesecake and it was melt in your mouth delicious. Pizza was better than any other pizza we've had. It was a little loud with all the people chatting and kind of hard to hear but the place is beautiful with a view of the bay. Can't wait to go back.”

“I went to the Dunwoody, Georgia location at lunchtime today (11/17/25). I let the cashier know that it was my 1st time trying Super Chix and he comped my frozen custard with oreo pieces! That act of kindness had me in tears as I was emotional about the bad news I received about my husband's cancer earlier in the day. Thank you for adding sunshine to my day! I will be back!”

“The food is sooo good, especially homemade kimchi. I still think about it till today!
The only thing is they ask other tables if the food was ok but not us 🥲.”
“I loved the place—10 out of 10! I will definitely return with my family. I recommend it 100%.”
“First time eating at Nami Sushi, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the small boat, which has 20 different items in the boat and 3 different kinds of rolls. We also ordered the tempura calamari and Agedashi with a side of Japanese beer (large bottle of Asahi). The wait staff are attentive and checked on us multiple times. The restaurant is clean and tables are nicely spaced apart, tables are cleaned immediately. The decor of this restaurant is pretty cool and unusual. We will definitely be back. Thanks Nami Sushi!”

“Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse. My wife and I went there for lunch, and I’ll tell you what, that was the best meal I have had in a long time at a restaurant. Definitely going back again. I would invite and encourage everyone to go and visit. The Hospitality was great, good vibes. I recommend you go there. #JimmyMacsRoadhouse”
“We were major fans of Crab Pot in Bellevue and Seattle. But then we found this place in Federal Way. Crab and More far exceeds our expectations and the food was much better and way more favorable than Crab Pot. Their sauces are excellent and the prices are much better than Crab Pot. Service was excellent. 5+ stars. Price may look high above, but we ordered a lot of food and wine”
“I’ve been away from the area for a couple of years. I wondered in to the Tacoma downtown location today and was entirely blown away by this incredibly designed space. The menu! The employees! The vibe! Is this the most beautiful vibe I’ve ever had with my coffee!!? Yes, I think so. Goodness they couldn’t have done a better job with this place😍”
“I called the place Sue picked up the phone. She was very patient and very nice communicator with customer number one. She did excellent job experience on customer service and customer experience is on top of the other employee. You can say others can learn from her how to deal with customer. I really appreciate your work and thank you very very much Sue for everything you’ve done.”

24 Hour Restaurants
“This is probably my tenth time coming here and I don’t know why I haven’t done a review. I tried something different every time. Everything is has been quality. From the price, to the amount of food that you get, and their salsa. The customer service is great. If you like Mexican food. I would really recommend this place. And it’s open 24hrs!!!!”
“I've been going to this McDonald's for a very long time. Over 20+ yrs. This McDonalds is definitely one of the best branches within its area. Usually quick in and out service, and it's uncommon for them to make a mistake. If they do make a mistake, it's dealt with quickly and efficiently, without any arguments.”
“Wooree Bahnjeom serves my favorite jajangmyeon in Federal Way, and after three or four visits, the food has remained impressively consistent. The jajangmyeon has that rich, savory, old-school Korean-Chinese flavor I look for, and it’s the main reason I keep coming back. I also recommend the ganpunggi, which has a nostalgic sweet, tangy, and crispy flavor reminiscent of traditional Korean-style fried chicken dishes. The restaurant has always been clean during my visits, which I appreciate. I also respect that they close from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. for an employee break, something that is still fairly uncommon at Korean restaurants. Service can be inconsistent, however, and some employees have been noticeably more attentive than others. Still, the quality of the food has been dependable enough that this remains my go-to Korean-Chinese restaurant in the area. When I come here, I know I can expect satisfying food and usually leave very happy with the meal.”
“Bar with half casual dining vibe in a small spot with private walled off booths/rooms if you want privacy. Plenty of comfort foods with a lot of bar favorites as well. Good attentive service great for a late night of drinking but also laid-back enough for families.”

“Love the service, the food and the serving sizes you get no matter what meal or item you choose from their menu. I also love how they don’t just serve burgers, (hence the name, “Monster Burger”). Giant Burgers to teriyaki and rice to chicken strips and French fries. I’ve never had a time that I’ve ordered from them and had a problem. The service is excellent. I love conversating with the older gentle man (owner) and I love seeing how a family works together. My favorite restaurants I only eat at are family owned not a corporation. Those are the best and can’t get food made like theirs in corporate restaurants. Homemade is always the BEST!!”
“It’s crazy because the I usually don’t go for vegetarian options when it comes to eating at burger places, but the veggie garden burgers here taste fire (coming from someone who eats meat often). I only come here for their veggie garden burgers and fried zucchini. Their portions are huge, and their milkshakes taste delicious! Definitely a neighborhood staple! I can’t speak for the rest of the stuff of the menu, but they are communicative and effective when you call for takeout.”

“Interior of Aji Koharu is calming and shelters customers from the rush of traffic on Hwy 99. The food was excellent: well prepared, presentation of various items enhanced the meal, the flavor and texture of the variety of sashimi was each distinct and appreciated. The portions are generous and thank goodness fulfilling of the appetite of our adolescent boys. The adults were also pleased by the generous portions which some of them shared with the young men. Happy diners all around. Some suggestions: music can be less intrusive and unavailable menu items need to be communicated to customers before they look at the menu to make their selection. This can spare disappointment of customer and avoid lost/waste of time for wait staff and customer. We'll share our delight with Aji Koharu with our friend groups and we have made plans to return for more if the excellent dishes at Aji Koharu.”
“We have enjoyed dining at Mirak Restaurant for Korean BBQ in Federal Way, Washington for more than 40 years I'm just about to leave home (near Eatonville, WA) to travel for an hour or more each way to have a great meal with friends It continues to be at the top of our list of favorite dining spots”
“33 years ago, my new wife introduced me to Vinces. In her previous marriage, Vinces in Renton was the family go to. One bite of Vinces pizza and I was hooked. The only negative is Vince's pizza has spoiled me to every other pizza place in the area. Vinces pizzas are Neapolitan style......much, much better (in my humble opinion) than any other pizza's. Vince's is the place our family always meets for special occasions. We have always been treated very well. My 9 year old grandson told me Vince's pepperoni pizza is his favorite.....it happens to be my favorite too. Writing this I'm starting to crave a pizza! Their other menu offerings are equally excellent. A year or so ago, we stopped for lunch. Out of the blue, I ordered one of their Italian Hero's. I will say it was the absolute BEST Sub/Hero/Grinder I had ever eaten. If you have not been to Vinces, so yourself a favor and try it. You might find you have a new favorite pizza/pasta place. A++”

“I'm trying to not go to Starbucks anymore because I don't align with their business practices and my friend suggested Jump Start. Everybody was so friendly and helpful and my drink was AMAZING. Highly recommend the lotus energy drink with pineapple and cantaloupe! Also my friend had a Malibu Barbie and I tried that and it tasted like raspberry jello. Might get that next time!”

“I went there after work and tried the fish and chips….. my goodness, at night cause I didn’t eat it all. The fish was amazing will return soon.”

“I stopped here on a whim driving by it. I was not dissatisfied at all. First off they have the some of best onion rings in town. I usually get a double bacon cheeseburger. It was top tier. I try to try bacon burgers at as many places as I can and this is in my top 4 spots.”
“The strawberry and cream cheese croffle is amazing. You can’t go wrong with either the strawberry or Oreo bingsu either. Every single macaroon is amazing and is double the filling of a regular macaroon. The flavors are fun and they all look too cute or pretty to eat. All of the signature drinks are to die for and the teas are spot on delicious!”
“SO good. Everything single thing I've had is delicious.”
“Jump Start Espresso is hands down my favorite coffee stand! I've tried so many different places, and this one is still my #1. Their coffee actually tastes like coffee instead of just tasting like milk, and they have really great prices that are hard to beat.
My favorite part is their breakfast. Unlike a lot of coffee stands that only offer bagels or basic snacks, Jump Start Espresso has delicious breakfast options. Their breakfast burritos are amazing! I look forward to stopping by every chance I get and highly recommend it!”
“The food here is delicious and healing! We first visited after a recommendation from another Korean friend. Gamjatang is a favorite whenever I visit Korea and this is the only place I’ve found in North America that makes it so good! My girlfriend got the hangover soup both times and it was also really good. Their soondae and banchan are likewise great and all their food is quite generously portioned.
We visited again with a 40 minute drive and were looking forward to coming back!”
“L&L saved the day for catering! This was for my dad's memorial service. One medium pan is definitely enough food to feed 24 people. I had 24 people at the event and was unsure about the size so I got medium pan of beef short ribs, a medium pan of bbq chicken, and a medium of rice. There is so much food left over! Anyway, the service was really good and the guy behind the counter brought the box of food out to my car.
Thank you so much!”
“Amazing place. The service was phenomenal! So attentive and on top of our needs. The meat quality was great and the self serve area was clean and fresh! And their Korean banchan was great for shabu shabu place! I highly recommend it!”
“I love the shrimp tacos. Very clean and good atmosphere. Friendly service.”
“They have the best chili must say I travel from Everett Washington once a week just to get their chili is it our way but it’s well worth it and I like the bar as well”
“I have been a customer for over 35 years. Never ever have I experienced a better Sushi restaurant. I adore the owners. Fresh amazing food.”
“Went here for a late dinner with some friends. Food was amazing like all the other korean spots in the area; but honestly the staff we had was okay. Maybe she was tired but never came to check up on us or ask to refill anything. Its okay my buddy paid and tipped but if it was me I wouldn't have done 20%
But you get a review and just feedback.”

“Best pho place anywhere!!! Have never been disappointed here. There's only one thing this restaurant needs to improve on... August 20 I saw the girl with the black glasses that's usually always there snacking behind the counter and then she actually service some food to there table. This disturbs me greatly and she needs to NOT snack where customers can see her.....”
“My wife pretty much dislikes teriyaki chicken. However, in a moment of weakness, she said yes to it this time. Since we moved recently, I looked around for a well rated Teriyaki restaurant near us, and Teriyaki house came up. Well, she loved it (and so did I!) but did not care for the sauce. So next time I went in, I asked for the chicken without the sauce, just on the side. Since then, this has been the only place we go for take out. The quality of the food is the best out of all the other Teriyaki places we tried and the couple who own the place are wonderful. I would love to spend a few days in the kitchen watching how this wonderful chef makes these dishes. I've tried several of the other offerings and they are just as excellent as the teriyaki. I look forward to trying more of their fabulous offerings. Highly recommended.”

“I went to the Dunwoody, Georgia location at lunchtime today (11/17/25). I let the cashier know that it was my 1st time trying Super Chix and he comped my frozen custard with oreo pieces! That act of kindness had me in tears as I was emotional about the bad news I received about my husband's cancer earlier in the day. Thank you for adding sunshine to my day! I will be back!”
“Always yummy - but cleanliness is definitely poor compared to the Covington or Puyallup location. Sticky tables, dirty air vents and unclean windows.
Still hoping (along with many others - as documented on social media) that a location will open in North Auburn in the future!”

The staff was kind and welcoming, making the whole visit even better. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving delicious Korean food in the area!”
“Everyone that walked in are greeted with a smile from the servers. They're helpful and patience with questions.
I usually have a favorite but when I feel adventurous, their recommended drinks are always on point for the mood I'm in.
I love the atmosphere of this new place and everything on their menu are so yummy, it's hard to believe it's healthy 😊 but it is.”
“I love me some good food but I love interpersonal connection even more! This place has both. Excellent service and delicious food. Those hush puppies are fire. They also sell local honey if you’re like me and love some honey on them. They also have sea moss! If you haven’t gone yet, go on ahead and get over there. 🫶🏽”

“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.”
“I’m wondering if they understand the products that they serve. A latte is a drink that has 3-4 parts steamed milk to 1 part espresso. So a 12 oz drink with one shot of espresso, fundamentally cannot be a latte, yet that’s what their menu calls it. That also happens to be the smallest size they serve. Something doesn’t add up. It would be easier for them to achieve the proper ratios for their drinks if they served an 8 oz cup. An 8 oz latte with 2 shots of espresso would be the proper way to make said drink”
“Amazing food at such an affordable price! James and the team at Dough Zone are the best! They’re always so friendly and welcoming every time we come in. The service is quick and efficient, the food is consistently delicious, and the restaurant is always clean. I also love that I never have to wait long. Great food, great service, and an overall great experience every time!”
