“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.”
“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”
“Just left and im so full and taste buds are satisfied. Great service, food & drinks. I'll be back for sure 💯”
“The server came at the end staring at all the pots / bowl absolutely cleaned out — that’s how much we loved the food here. The surprising standout dish was the spicy sashimi cold noodle… what a refreshing dish for the summer and they’re very generous with the sashimi serving. Will definitely come back.”

“Cool place if you want an Italian experience. Great sunset views. Staff was friendly and offered quick service. Appetizers were very delicious, we shared them around the table.”
“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!”

“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!”
“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”

“European coffee experience in Federal Way.
Visiting grandchildren in Browns Point from my home in Arizona. Stopped by for an espresso. Totally relaxing atmosphere, great service and wonderful double espresso. A place to read or meet a friend without feeling rushed. Asensio is outstanding!”
“Seriously some of the best service Ive ever had in a Korean restaurant! Dakgalbi was spot on with the spice and sweetness balance with a good variety of vegetables, chicken and rice cakes. I really liked my korean pear cocktail and has a great selection of korean beverages. The owner and the young gentleman were both super kind and attentive.
I used to go here 10 years ago in my early 20s and it's been around since I was in grade school. Over time, the place improved greatly with the same cozy ambiance. There's a good reason for their longevity of business.”
“First time going, had a great experience. So much food, all you can eat for just $40. The Garlic Chicken and Spicy marinated Pork were our top two favorites. But everything we got was great. Got also the Beef brisket (which they give you a lot), the Spicy marinated Shrimp, and the Spicy marinated Chicken. For two people who are hungry, only 4-5 meat dishes needed. They do not let you take any leftovers home unfortunately. Even if you cook it. Also got their fried rice, the Kimchi Soup (really good), and the Cold Noodle dish (not that great, or just not our favorite thing compared to everything else and was unnecessary). It was my husband's first time having Korean BBQ, so was fun and he really enjoyed getting to cook his own meat and he loved everything and how much we got.”
“The place was busy and we had to sit in back. They have a minor section. We were in the corner, could not see bar but recieved excellent service. Our waitress was on top of it. Strong drinks and great food. Pull tabs, pool tables, and darts.”
“I love the shrimp tacos. Very clean and good atmosphere. Friendly service.”

“Having been to most if not all of the California Burritos in the area, this one stood out as being exceptionally fast, serving exceptional meals. Every aspect of service was an upgrade ahead of the other locations, particularly service and cleanliness. The food quality was a bit better, but I am mainly very satisfied with the outstanding fast order service.
This is the best location of the group, by a long shot.”
“Okay, I love the coffee drinks are always really really good. But if there is more than 2 cars in line I go to JSE or Starbucks because you will be waiting forever. The shortage of coffee in our area is apparent when you see the crazy lines at this Bigfoot. I feel bad for the ladies working but it is so unbelievably slow sometimes! Sometimes it is absolutely worth it though!”
“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.”
“I’m in LOVVVEE with their sauce bar!!! Literally the reason I came to this one! The red meats are super fresh and delicious! The buffet area has amazing variety for seafoods, veggies, noodles etc. They keep it very clean as well!”
“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.”

“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😍”
“Ate here last night for my daughter's birthday. We make it a point to try out every Japanese ramen place we can find. This one is exceptional for its quality and atmosphere. Authentic Japanese with menu items that we were surprised to see, only having seen them in Japan prior to this. Tsukemen, ramen, takoyaki, karaage - all were delicious.”
“I had the opportunity to be helped by a wonderful woman named Veronica, who works here extremely kind, extremely understanding and knows how to do a job I came in and it was very clean and smelled delicious. I will always come back to this location. I truly recommend anyone stopping if you’re near for good bite and a good environment with good people.”
“A less known place aside from the locals it serves, I had their monster burger and it provided value for my dollar. I felt it a fair price without an extensive wait period. The seating was comfortable and it was good place for a chat with good food. Now service was mostly counter level but the cashier was courteous and if the place isn't too busy they will bring some things to the table if opportunity permits but be ready to pick up the order from the counter otherwise.”

“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 go to this Jumpstart every single day and I'm always greeted with smiles and great service. I remember, after only two times coming here London already had my drink memorized and it takes only a couple minutes for me to get my espresso! I would highly encourage her supervisors to consider a raise! We need livable wages in our communities and coffee is surely one of those thing I would be happy to pay another 50¢ for if it means the lovely staff makes a better hourly wage! Thank you Jumpstart ladies for making the start to my day perfect, every time :)”
“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.”
“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++”
“To the dude that made my pizza Sunday night just before closing. Sunday June 7th. Tonight. I think he drives a charger maybe. I don't know but if you see this review I apologize for not leaving you a bigger tip because you are a master at making pizza. No one else puts just the right amount of toppings on it and it was cooked to perfection.
My pizza was perfect I couldn't have asked for anything different or better.
You and I were talking about why the restaurant doesn't serve pasta anymore. I'll get you on the next go round if you're still there dude.”
Cheap Eats
“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!”
“First time eating here. Cute little shop with lots of delicious looking meal options. We ended up getting meat lovers fries ( choose both meats, it was delicious), 2 dumpling plates. One hot flavored mandu,( nice and hot, covered in sauce but I wanted more salt, smaller in size and more crunch), the other was corn cheese mandu,( favorite of the two, more crunch and it would have been perfect). Server was nice, brought us ice for our canned soda. I'd definitely eat here again.”
“Come hungry! The portions are large and the food is delicious. My family kept on exclaiming how the fries were some of the best they’ve had and the yummy burgers were big and loaded with toppings. I really appreciate it when the fries come with the meal and you don’t have to pay extra for them! The staff was courteous, handled our large order well, and got the food out in record time! The dining area was clean and nicely decorated. We’d definitely come back here again.”
“We tried this place for the first time today and are very satisfied! We ordered the hangover soup and the bossam. They were both super delicious! Loved the sides too. The service was excellent. We are glad we’ve found this place and look forward to dining here again!”
“I finally found good Mexican food that’s authentic in federal way. I found them while it was walking with Siri and I got their tamales that are Rajas with queso OMG They were so incredibly good. I give up buying tamales quite a while ago because I couldn’t find any good ones. They have great ones and they Agua is awesome. I can’t wait to go back for a torta ahogada!! I haven’t had one since I was in GDL!! Check them out they close a little early. She said 7 PM. They are so good.!!”
“We had an early dinner yesterday and had such a great experience, from the kind owner, who ran the whole place by herself during that time, to the food, to the cleanliness. Everything was fresh. The place is clean from kitchen to dining area to the restroom.
The food was delicious, but we were in such a rush that I forgot to take photos of the food we ordered: grilled pork banh mi, bun bo hue, and kids pho with tofu. The tofu seemed freshly made. Everything was delicious!
The prices were reasonable and affordable.
We will surely be back to try other dishes as well.”
“Went there for lunch and got the short rib combo and dumplings. Loved it and will be going back. Everything tasted fresh. The kimchi pork jjigae was perfect, I was so stuffed I couldn't finish it. The banchan was also super fresh. They were busy but they busted ass getting food out hot. Perfect lunch for someone by themselves. I bought the kimbap for dinner and it was so good, much better than the hmart one. Got to go try their fried chicken next.”

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!”
“My absolute favorite place for bossam!! The variety kimchi that comes with this dish is also amazing!!
It can get pretty crowded on Fridays and weekends. It’s best to come during a weekday to get seats. Their home made rice wine is also so good! I highly recommend this place”

“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.”

“My family, boyfriend and I would frequent Magic Wok, the previous restaurant here for lunch specials or just dinner. I was surprised to see that they are now Szechuan Impression but looked at their menu online and saw that they offer similar offerings but expanded on their menu too! I love the additions of Szechuan dishes and they have a lot more spicy options too!
My boyfriend and I got a lunch special on May 12, I called to make a take out order and was put on a quick hold before getting my order taken by a nice, professional lady. I got the sliced fish delight lunch special while my boyfriend got the cashew chicken lunch special. We both got fried rice but I got hot and sour soup while he got egg flower soup. The food was ready at the estimated time of ten minutes. The inside according to my boyfriend has not changed and remains as it did when it was run by Magic Wok.
The food was seasoned much better than Magic Wok and the portions were definitely bigger. I really enjoyed the different types of vegetables in my dish and they used ginger and garlic too! My boyfriend was used to how Magic Wok used to make the cashew chicken but he said it was pretty good here too but just a little spicier for his taste. We are definitely looking forward to coming back to try more of their new and traditional dishes!”
“Food was really good. Only a older couple & family were inside around noon so wasn't busy on a Saturday.
I forgot what my bowl was but it was the chicken teriyaki I believe, while my sister got the beef teriyaki bowl that included an egg. We got drinks, she got a strawberry refresher drink & mine was the berry mix puree with soda which was interestingly good. It's an underrated location, so check it out before it gets busy & popular!”
“The best in town! Their Jjajangmyunand Jjampong is the best! And the amount for the price… I always roll out of this place! Service is great and the atmosphere is welcoming. Today I picked up some jelly fish salad ?! lol and seafood noodle soup…it was well packed and as always, delicious! I highly recommend this place!”
“Comfortable seating and beautiful decor. The shawarma was the best of many I have had all over the world. Soups were delicious and accompanied by bread. Portions are generous. It is a trick to find up the stairs. Trust Google Maps that you are in the right place, and look up!”
“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. 🫶🏽”

“CJ and the crew here are awesome. They were all polite and welcoming. I went through the line super fast, and portions were great. The food tasted yummy and fresh. Since they don't charge extra on guac, I decided to get double the protein. Highly recommend! 😋 Oh, and I enjoyed the chips and queso very much❣️”
“This location is really unique, located between a massage parlor and a hair salon, this place is like a korean fried chicken joint mixed with a speakeasy. Club-like atmosphere with dim lights and modern music bumpin.
I ordered the fried chicken and it came with 10 pieces and was really solid. Bit expensive, at 22$ but perfect to share.
Friend orders the bulgogi and liked it
Didn’t get any drinks but the soju looked good.
Service is slow
Open till 12 so definitely a good late night spot with drinks and food”
