Restaurants in Lakewood

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant, hands down. The food is simply the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried a lot of Thai cuisine. The warm, homey atmosphere adds to the experience, making it truly top-tier. While seating is limited, don’t let that steer you away—this place is absolutely worth a visit.”

“Really enjoyed our lunch here. Sushi was very fresh and tasty. The service was excellent and we look forward to returning.

Kid-friendliness: The employees were very kind and welcoming to our 2 year old while we enjoyed a meal.”

“Love this place! Nadine was so helpful and kind when giving me drink suggestions. She’s a diligent worker, and her barista skills are amazing! I can always count on her to make the best energy drinks for me. Her excellent customer service keeps me coming back!”

“I’ve been meaning to go here for a long time and finally did today with my boyfriend. I wish i started coming sooner! This place is a hidden gem. The inside is so cute and cozy and the service was amazing. Everything was quite inexpensive and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Will be coming back again! :)”

“Not only is this the best fast food burger joint in the County for the taste and build of their burgers, but the customer service is a freshness in a world where lack of courtesy is rampant. Kudos to the staff for their friendly smile and clean lobby. Oh yeah, and delicious burgers!”

“I have been coming here since I was little. It was always a tradition to go for New Year’s and Fourth of July in advance is a great place and it brings back a lot of memories of my grandfather. I continue to go here every chance I get and bring my children to carry on those traditions and celebrate best quality meat and food in town. You will not find any German food like this in the Pacific Northwest, and if you like pretzels, definitely check out pretzels. It’s nothing like walking into a friendly family atmosphere and being greeted being assisted with everything that you need to go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and get the full service that is needed while coming to the restaurant or to the deli brings an absolute peace and weight off your shoulders.”

“I had a steak and my husband had the crawfish boil. The prawns were huge. The salad was crispy and fresh. The steak was perfect. The server was attentive. We will definitely be going back. Thank you!”

“Great food!”

“Good and service outstanding”

“Mi Casa really felt like mi casa. The chilaquiles were delicious! And they even had Champurrado which I haven't seen being sold in other places. That was delicious too.

Will definitely come back to try the rest.”

“Delicious food with great service.”

“I had the chocolate cookie with strawberry icing. It was pretty good, just a little spendy. I hate putting my order in on a computer but I know that's the latest craze.”

“Thong Thai Restaurant is a real gem! The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is friendly and fast. The location is easy to find. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious! A couple members of our family have celiac disease, so we're cautious and picky about dining out. This is a trusted place that never disappoints. We came here to celebrate two birthdays. This business is family owned and run. Once you experience the food, it will become one of your favorite places, too!”

“Very fresh! Excellent tofu Bahn Mi.”

“Excellent food and great atmosphere! Love the Soyrizo Tacos and rice! 🌟”

“Delicious food fast, and friendly staff who took great care of us, and made sure we had everything we needed! Everything was amazing, from the Scallion pancake, the Bbq fried rice, the egg flower soup, to the mapo tofu, was all very flavorful with big portions! 100% recommend trying it, I will be coming back if I’m in the area”

“The owner (I’m assuming) was so generous and helpful and the seafood was delicious! Big portions! We’ll be back!”

“The food is great and the waitress was friendly.”

“Delicious meals and drinks u will not be disappointed”

“Wow what a delicious meal. The menu is creative with a variety of foods everyone will love. The steaks are amazing! I highly recommend eating here! We will be back for sure. Beautiful restaurant and warm atmosphere. Servers were super nice.”

“the food was authentic Mexican. so yummy. we had the tacos with beef and cheese and quesadillas with beef and cheese. will definitely be back”

“Always delightful. I wasn't really happy with my scallop fetucini because it was not the large scallops. The other people's entres looked excellent and the recipients raved.”

“Favorite Korean BBQ to go to. Everyone is so friendly and you never feel ignored or rushed. The quality of the food is wonderful and the prices are great! This is the only spot we love and we recommend to everyone.”

“So good y'all
I did a pick up order for a client yesterday and when I walked in, I immediately knew I'd be back for my own food. Today I went in, got a recommendation from the very sweet woman behind the counter. Spicy Tuna, Shrimp and I added the Unagi.
I had full intentions on saving half for later and now I'm sat here with an empty bowl ?
The veggies are really fresh and crispy, the dried pork ? omg lol I am so happy with this meal, and the level of happy, I would have spent more. ?
The price is really fair and not for nothin, might actually be low. The bowl is large, the servings and portions for each topping are generous and I don't think it's possible to create a bad combination. Chefs Kiss.
I love it and it will now be my weekly treat when I'm working”

“I have only ordered Chang Thai through takeout or delivery services but they always deliver their food very deliciously and accurately. They are one of the only Thai restaurants that actually know how to ensure that your spice levels are going to be felt as I always order 4 here and it is always met the spiciness that I desire. I appreciate that they don't just sprinkle red pepper flakes but actually work the spiciness into the dishes as well.

I have ordered their rama noodle, pad kee mao, pad see ew, and pad thai and they have always delivered. I also love that they have a combination of meats that you can add for a bunch of meats (chicken, pork, beef and shrimp). You can tell from the Google reviews that the owner does his best to make your experience good if you tell him about it and I think that really shows his passion and dedication to his restaurant. I hope to one day dine in and will continue supporting them as one of the better restaurants in Washington.”

“My favorite vegetarian pho! Must try if you haven't already! Cutest entry way gardens too!”

“On more than several occasions, this place has saved my family for lunch and dinner. The late night options, when EVERYTHING ELSE is closed... They get it. I will forever recommend this place.”

“Very friendly and extremely quick and efficient. I'm glad to have stopped by before running away back home on the plane. My older brother kept begging me to go, but I'm just happy we got to hang out, get some smoothies, and have a great conversation with the barista.

I had the Peach smoothie, and it was fire. I definitely need some more of the drinks! Wished I ordered their food after leaving.”

“did a mobile order, forgot to check the bag (my fault), and when i got home i saw there was no onions on my burger. i called and randy the manager let me know he could remake the entire order for me if i bring the food back. he was super understanding, and i honestly didnt even think he would do that for me.

very grateful he was willing to fix my order!”

“Ang sarap nung yema cake roll $18 Lang yata bili ko. Per worth it”

“This evening we tried The Tilted Rock and it definitely did not disappoint. There is something on the menu for everyone. We individually ordered the chicken teriyaki, the arab burger, chicken adobo and the yakisoba. Every plate was delicious and full of flavor. We were encouraged by the chef to try an authentic Ethiopian dish, Yetsom Beye Ayinetu, and all I can say is oh my goodness… it was AMAZING! The flavors were to die for. Thank you so much for a great dinner and a new family favorite. (And I’ll add, the prices were extremely reasonable)”

“Amazing service and cake. So smooth, light, and delicious. The packaging is very beautiful and they even give you a knife for the cake. I really highly recommend them. The young lady helping me order the cake was very patient and great.”

“They have good boba, I love the strawberry milk. However, the service isn’t the best at times. Sometimes they ignore you or just have a bad attitude but it’s not all the time!”

“Good service good price good baristas love the coffee.”

“I miss this food! I hope you guys are doing great. Sending you a post card soon when I find one”

“Always fast. The employees are genuine in their approach to customers. Always good quality, fresh ingredients put together with attention to detail even when things are busy.”

“This is the best Teriyaki restaurant in the state. I drive from Lacey WA. just to get it. I always get spicy chicken number 4. For the money the portions are amazing compared to what other restaurants will give you. Yes the building is not very nice and its cramped in the restaurant but the food is SO worth it.”

“We originally went because of a Tacoma News Tribune Article. There is no $2 tacos anymore. I would suggest the fajita plates as they come with 6 tortillas and can feed 2 people. The tortillas are homemade and are very good.”

“Cute little restaurant, the chicken teriyaki was decent. I felt it was missing something but other than that, it was good! My friend had the burger and she loved it!
Support your local businesses, give it a try! (:”

“The service has been nothing but the greatest from the first visit to the most recent, all the food is a feeling of home to me (New York) and it’s a must visit when nearby or living in the neighborhood”

“Best coffee in Lakewood!!!!”

“The burgers here are quite good, and made with fresh ingredients. The counter person was incredibly polite and friendly. The restaurant was clean, except for a greasy sheen on things like the ketchup bottle and the bathroom doorknob. Overall, a tasty addition to the Lakewood Mall area”

“Good food nice ambient breakfast place”

“Thank you for the spectacular food, staff and space.”

“My first time here. my sister got a blended Carmel macchiato and I got my iced pineapple matcha green tea latte and they were delicious! Great drinks and friendly gal”

“Best pizza I had in a very long time”

“Was weirded out by drive thru pho, about only thing open at the time, so I decided to try it after shopping. Not the most friendly greeting, could barely see the menu. Asked a question and just heard mumbling and the word menu. I wanted to be just be back at house so ordered spring rolls and steak pho. Honestly the food was pretty good, service idk about. I’m calling it my fast food place of pho from now on”

“Best coffee stand ever! Great employees and great coffee!!! Won’t go anywhere else ❤️”

“This is the cutest shop, friendliest owner and my order is always perfectly made. This is definitely the best place to get a drink or a bite to eat in Washington!”

“The coffee and the shakes are super yummy”

“Love the associates here! Very friendly and efficient. Service is consistent. The coffee and food is consistent.If you go to Starbucks regularly, use their app and take your own cup. I have earned a lot of free lattes by consistently taking my own cup, using their app and taking advantage of their promotions.Bonus tip, if you are buying more than one drink (bring your own cup for each drink), have them ring each drink separately. You'll earn cup bonus points for each drink. If they run one transaction for all the drinks, you will only get cup points for one drink.

Parking: If you go during their busy time, you might have to park next door.”

“Long time customer. Jade makes me smile every morning. Quite often my cappuccino is already waiting for me nice and hot. The entire staff is always welcoming and that goes right back to Jade the manager who knows that a kind word goes a long way to making a customer happy. Thanks to all who work hard each and every day. Bring back the 2 for 1 promotion. It's great!”

“My husband and I actually think this is the best Cutter's location around, we never miss stopping by when we're in Lakewood. The baristas are always delightful and drinks/food are on point!”

“Went here for the first time and it was LOVELY! Paige was an amazing barista and the coffee is good, the cacao is delicious, can't wait to come back!”

“Mary was working when I pulled through and she has a great attitude and made a great Panini for me! Thanks again and I will be back! Nice meeting you Mare and thanks for the great service!”

“We've been coming here over 20 years and it is still the best teriyaki around! I think it has changed hands or names a few times but it has always provided the best spicy chicken teriyaki I've ever had.

If you don't like it, you haven't tried it. Everything is awesome but highly recommend the spicy chicken special! Add gyoza or make it combination fried rice to change it up. No matter what, you won't be disappointed!”

“We’re always satisfied with the service and quality of food here. Love the happy hour options even in the dining room and you cannot go wrong with the 2 for dining menus that you can mix and match. Drink specials, and appetizers too!”

“Man!! Today was my first ever try. Got there directly at 11 with everything fresh. I had the manic meal with deviled eggs, beans, coleslaw and extra meatballs in bacon on the side. AMAZING. The deviled eggs??? I’m from the south, THAT’S HOW YOU DO IT! Amazing flavor and texture. The meatballs itself? I’ll complete them to the BEST baby shower meatball you’d ever have because it’s packed with flavor and just cooked to the right perfection. I couldn’t have asked for something better. I’m a GOOD EATER. I eat a lot for my size. This will fill you up for sure!”

“Love my Starbucks all the employees are great and wonderful”

“My family just had an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G dining experience here! The food and service were top-notch! The owner whipped up the best drink I’ve ever had! Plus, the menu has many unique and delicious dishes you won’t find anywhere else. We will surely come back here again to try more dishes!

Don’t miss out on this gem in Tacoma ?”

“Absolutely incredible pupusas. The flavor and quality is unmatched. The tamales are wonderful as well. We’ve gone out of our way to make a stop for more food. It is a hidden gem inside a Hispanic Mercado with several shops located inside. There is plenty of seating room in a food court type atmosphere. The workers are very friendly and service is as quick as expected for freshly cooked food.”

“Wanted to try something different because we're new to the area, and to be very honest, the selection of cultural restaurants is narrow. So we decided to give it a chance and I have to say, it was absolutely worth every penny. We were seated very quickly and given complimentary chips and salsa and were also served our drinks fast as well. My wife ordered the two (2) chimichanga combination dinner served with a very generous portion of rice & and beans, and I ordered the three(3) beef enchiladas combination dinner, also served with a generous portion of rice & beans. If you enjoy chimichangas, then you will definitely enjoy them here, and you really want a good enchilada, then stay in your seat and order a couple. My wife and I are looking forward to returning to Mazatlan!. I forgot to mention that the service here is impeccable as well.”

“the pupusas were fantastic, i love coming here for the pupusas, and I would definitely recommend it.

Dietary restrictions: they have dairy free options

Parking: shared parking lot but plenty of space”

“Love the Pho and Soring Rolls. We have gone there twice and definitely will be going back again.”

“Got two chicken tacos and a California burrito for my lunch. I had to force myself to stop eating the burrito, it was so good”

“This place has really good boba tea! And the service was amazing. We wanted wintermelon but jt wasn’t even on the menu and they made it for us anyway. And it tasted perfect! Definitely coming back here!”

“I'm actually really sad I live so far away but this place is heavily. The way they make their bowls reminds me of when I visited California on the beach I love it and I'll always visit when I head that way.”

“It was ok. I’ve had better pho. I made the mistake of ordering the ‘special’ pho. Had vegetable like broccoli and stuff in it. Horrible. But once strained that out the pho wasn’t too bad. Couple Korean chicks seem to be running it.”

“Great food! We tried the Godzilla Roll (it was so huge), Spicy Chicken Karaage, and Eel Nigiri and everything was super fresh and delicious. Portions were huge and we were able to take some home for leftovers.”

“Pollo mole was amazing. My cousin brought me here yesterday and I'm back again today! Staff is very friendly, and you can tell how popular the place is because the to go orders are constant. Dining area is small and simple but has a friendly and authentic feel. Highly recommend!”

“My absolute favorite bakery! Dorothy and all the staff are so lovely, patient, and helpful. The pastries are always buttery soft and the cakes are positively decadent. 10/10 everytime.”

“The best dumplings! Will be back again…. A LOT!”

“Hands down the most incredible, authentic, freshly made Salvadorean food. I am a ten times repeat customer and I have always loved all my food. The best in the whole PNW!!!”

“From the outside, I expected a dingy resteraunt but inside the attendant was more friendly and warm than any teriyaki resteraunt I've ever been too. The inside had a nice dining area with modern music and it was clean. I ate a bit there and took the rest home. The chicken teriyaki bowl came with two gyozas and plent of veggies that I was super happy to have. The chicken was moist and well seasoned. I've had many that are dry and charred and disguided in sauce and this was so much better. The egg rolls I had tasted fresh and there wasn't a bitter after taste from old egg rolls. I would seriously go out of my way to eat here again.”

“The food and service is Gold star perfect! Food is always delicious, and our service has always been first class. Have driven 85 miles one way for last 2 years to have our anniversary dinner there. And it's always excellent!”

“The food is good, BUT in that past year they have become SOoooo EXPENSIVE and its NOT worth the money any longer. The portions used to be larger and now they barely fill their boxes. Not going back because of those reasons. They need to drop the prices again and add more food to boxes again.”

“Food garbage drinks over priced hooker vibe desperate”

“Always treated well. Food is real good. Nice people work there.”

“Thong Thai Restaurant is a real gem! The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is friendly and fast. The location is easy to find. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious! A couple members of our family have celiac disease, so we're cautious and picky about dining out. This is a trusted place that never disappoints. We came here to celebrate two birthdays. This business is family owned and run. Once you experience the food, it will become one of your favorite places, too!”

“The food is never disappointing. However, at least twice a week we get the same thing, vegetable fried rice and honey walnut shrimp with extra cabbage. You can never go wrong with these two meals. They use fresh chopped vegetables NOT frozen. They give you a lot of it. It’s enough for 3-4 people. The shrimp is never over cooked with a tasty coating. The candied walnuts are plentiful. The sauce is so good, we started requesting extra shredded cabbage. These two dishes are never disappointing.”

“Just wanted to say am impressed with the awesome customer service or barista Tess she always gives speedy customer service and always prepares orders fast and consistent will visit pink sugar espresso for my morning coffee every time definitely five stars”

“Este lugar me gusta por el sabor de sus platitos q todos Los q he probado an estado MUI sabrosos”

“Delicious food with great service.”

“I had the chocolate cookie with strawberry icing. It was pretty good, just a little spendy. I hate putting my order in on a computer but I know that's the latest craze.”

“The beer selection is second to none in the area. The breakfast sandwiches are so good I cannot stop thinking about them. I had the egg salad sandwich with arugula and a delicious wasabi sauce that paired so well with a delicious Pilsner from Melvin brewing. I also had the walk of shame sandwich and the cheese and chives were the perfect combination and exactly what you are looking for in a breakfast sandwich. The buns they use here are of noticeable quality hold up well to the hearty sandwiches. The staff here is also very friendly and makes you feel like a regular even if you are 300 miles from home.”

“Thank you for the spectacular food, staff and space.”

“Love this place! Nadine was so helpful and kind when giving me drink suggestions. She’s a diligent worker, and her barista skills are amazing! I can always count on her to make the best energy drinks for me. Her excellent customer service keeps me coming back!”

“Happy Veteran's Day to all who served. Visited here for Veteran's Day 2024. Ashley was our server. She and everyone else did a great job catering to all.

Great food.
Great service.
Good vibes.”

“Memo's is one of my go-to places for take-out! This location is my favorite since the lines aren't as backed up as the one on 6th ave. They also started putting guacamole back on the nachos and fries, so yay (:”

“I haven't eaten here in a while but I attend the start because my wife says she never ate there when I was working we would get this about once or twice a week for the 7 years I worked there”

“Always fast. The employees are genuine in their approach to customers. Always good quality, fresh ingredients put together with attention to detail even when things are busy.”
