“had the French dip before the Seattle Thunderbirds game. very good, good service.“

“One of our favorite places to go, we are always treated very good, friendly and fun, have met some really wonderful people there. Really good karaoke and host/hostess.“

“Stopped in and was immediately greeted with a warm smile from the bartendress! Pool tables, super friendly people, dart boards! Just a great time. I'm a little older then most of the clientele but they put up with me anyway! Great group of people.“

“Absolutely love this place and all the food, tv game options and the pool table is always available. Friendly customers and always a conversation to be had. Staff is great minus one lady who always looks like she's ready to tell you your puppy died and is quite short and unfriendly“

“the food was tasty. it was hard to hear the foul mouths of the other patrons. not a place for kids.“

“Came in for take out, since I'd heard good things, and was not disappointed! The front end staff was so friendly, and the food was delicious. This is the only Thai restaurant that actually makes my red curry as spicy as I ask for. When I asked for spicy, they delivered! I'll definitely be returning!“

“This evening, I ordered to go a Chile Relleno which is delicious, sadly it seems they were too busy, and forgot to include the chips, which I love too. To let them know about it, I ask for someone who speaks Spanish, this person spoke with me for a little while, and after I complained about the missing chips in the order, all of a sudden she asked me if I wanted to speak with the manager, I was surprised of this offer, but still I said, it was OK. Then the manager began speaking in English. I am writing this opinion for two reasons, the first one: I love the chips and I always want them in my order. And the second one: is to bring to your attention, the lack of respect to the Spanish speaking people visiting your restaurant, many of them choose you, because you speak Spanish there. I do not understand why? the girl had me speak with an English spoken manager, ( it sounded weird to me, since I did not request it) I thought, it was maybe because they did not want to be bothered, and they know that a limited english proficient person will not continue her/his complaint due to the language barrier. Please do not lower the standard of service with our Latino Families, we are your clients, pay the same and many times tip you more for a good service, we deserve an excellent service experience too.

“This place is so cool. Its wrestling themed and right across from tomb of treasure. Great staff and the hot dogs are good 2.
The arcade is even wrestling themed with great pinball machines.
The tables have really cool wrestling photos.“

“I support establishments that support inclusivity“

“8-bit Arcade said they were wheelchair accessible and guess what?! THEY WERE. Not only could I get through the aisles, but the bathroom set up was an example in inclusion!! The door was easy to open and lock, the sink was easy to get under, the doorway was absolutely wide enough to get in and out of and there was enough room to maneuver for my wheelchair inside the bathroom!!!! It was amazing. Plus the staff was kind, courteous and even gave us a warning when the loud speakers, near us, were used!! Absolutely recommend!! 🫶“

“Great food and fast service! The waitress was wonderful! I had the grilled salmon. it was amazing!“

“They only had three people on staff and let me tell you, they did an amazing job, not just keeping their composure but also serving everyone and keeping everyone happy. Perfect combo of great party spot for a good time and some good drinks. Definitely coming here for future events!“

“This is one of the best places I have eaten period. I have never had 5 star cooking from a fancy chef like Bobby Flay or iron Chef Cat Cora. But I feel like if I did this should be the level of cooking I should get. The buttermilk biscuit and creole chicken with that honey and cream sauce was absolutely AMAZING.. Thank you for suck good food.“

“I love this place. It has been the most welcoming place since I moved here. Look don't expect to get a full meal here but everything else is fantastic. The atmosphere, the people, the cheap drinks. All the bartenders (Kate, Shelley, Maat, Carrie, and Haelee) are all great! If you're looking for a dive bar to go to this is the one!“

“Absolutely the best brewery in our little town of Edgewood! The Cubano sandwich is so good and so is the reuben Kim chee ! Jannai is such a delight!“

“Great hotel bar with friendly staff. There’s a few good local beers on draft and plenty of bar games like pool, shuffleboard and board games too. Didn’t try the food so can’t comment on that but definitely a decent place to hang out if staying here night before a flight from Seattle.“

“If you are looking for left over birthday cake, warmed up "meat" leftovers and a bunch of crusty regulars then you have found your mecca. No nonsense clean bar with efficient service. Regulars are welcoming and friendly. For Rainer ave. Its a Gem.“

“Love this place. Been going here for years.“

“Great neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name. Great food, great service, great drinks, great people!“

“Friendly staff, great prices on drinks and food and lots of daily regulars who love it, too!“

“Fantastic service for a party of 20 in the banquet room. The food was delicious and the waitress was so flexible and helpful. Even cutTing the birthday cake and returning a forgotten phone & credit card. Thanks for making my birthday perfect.“

“Dropped by in the 4th. The catfish was the best I've ever had. Rice and beans were rockin'! The gator kickers with spicy ranch were spectacular. Never had those before. The bartender, Kat, took great care of us and had us laughing the whole time.“

“Such a hidden gem in Seattle! This place has the perfect late-night izakaya vibe — cozy, lively, and casual without feeling too loud or overwhelming.

The food is especially good for sharing. Everything comes out hot and flavorful, and there’s a great variety of Japanese-style dishes and late-night comfort food. It’s the kind of place where you order a bunch of different things for the table, grab a drink, and somehow end up staying much longer than you planned.

What I really like is the atmosphere. It feels warm and intimate, almost like a little neighborhood spot you’d stumble into late at night in Japan. The staff are friendly and the whole place feels relaxed and welcoming.

Seattle honestly needs more places like this, especially since so many restaurants close early. Definitely one of my favorite spots for late-night food, drinks, and hanging out with friends.“
