“Food were delicious, beautifully prepared and service is over beyond!!! 100%”
“What a fantastic dining experience! The ambiance here is striking with the contrasting round elements, sharp corners, and cherry branches against soft lighting and the relaxing rumbling of their water feature. The food is perfect! I ordered the bento box and he got beef yakisoba. Each meal came with miso soup and a variety of small salads for tasting. We were both very pleasantly surprised by the pickled cucumber and shrimp. The main course was a parade of delights! The beef in the yakisoba was so tender and flavorful as was the chicken teriyaki. The tempura vegetables were melt in your mouth but the star of the show was the sushi. It was so fresh and beautifully presented! I regret not getting a sushi platter. Next time!”
“It was such a pleasant surprise to find authentic Korean food in a small Korean community in rural America.
Overall, the food was quite good. The Mandu were not really to my personal taste—not that they were bad, but I didn’t feel they quite matched the price.
On the other hand, the seolleongtang was absolutely delicious, and I truly enjoyed every spoonful. The kalguksu was also very good. What impressed me the most were the kimchi and kkakdugi. They had that authentic Korean flavor I hadn’t tasted in a long time, and they really made the meal feel special.
Overall, it was a satisfying and comforting Korean meal, especially in such an unexpected location. I’m glad we stopped by.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This German/Polish spot seems to have fully embraced its feature on Guy Fieri's Food Network, and while the vibe can feel a bit themed because of it, the food largely delivers. I started with the Goulash soup, and it was fantastic—perfectly salty, savory, and chunky. It's the exact kind of hearty, filling soup you'd crave on a cold winter evening. For my entree, I had Bruno's Schnitzel. The fried pork cutlet itself was tasty, but I felt it could have really used a sauce to elevate it. It came with excellent Spätzle and gravy, plus some wonderfully seasoned steamed cabbage. Everything was great, and I'm glad I stopped by. It's a solid choice, especially given its convenient location. Overall, a very good 4 out of 5.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Bloom Thai offers excellent service with very welcoming staff. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and portions were generous, with staff thoughtfully helping us order the right quantity. We tried the coconut shrimp, drunken noodles, thai fried rice, pad Thai noodles, fresh coconut juice/water, thai iced tea, crispy fried chicken. We were a large group and it was a Sunday afternoon and indoor space was limited, but they kindly arranged outdoor seating for us. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely visit again!”
“I had a fabulous experience at the Lakewood Carls Jr. Mr. Rhett at the drive thru window was a phenomenal customer service extraordinaire! Dude was fast, efficient, and super kind. I couldn’t ask for better service. On top of that the burgers were bussin’ and the fries were super hot and fresh. They even made sure I got my sauce which is kind of a big deal to me. Thank you to Rhett and the Lakewood Carls Jr for servin it! <3”

“This was my first time visiting this place as well as the cafe/bakery next door. It's a small grocery store full of authentic German food products. Their bread was so good!!! I definitely plan on coming back for more pretzels.
Everyone was so friendly and polite. It was well-stocked and clean too.”
“I went in on Sunday May 31st. everything that evening, was a little off. I wasn't pleased. So I let the managers know that there team had fallen short. Of the Bears credos and Standards. This week the whole staff was working as a team producing quality food and a welcoming, atmosphere. for people to enjoy. Awesome JOB Lakewood Black Bear Team.”
“This place has become my new go-to spot for a cup of coffee. I brought my Shih Tzu, Rocco, and as soon as we stepped inside, the friendly staff greeted us with a warm smile. They offered us a bone or a Pup-uccino, which was a thoughtful gesture. The ambiance was incredibly welcoming and relaxing, creating a cozy atmosphere. The coffee was exceptional, with a perfect balance of flavor and not too much sweetness. The staff was incredibly attentive and provided top-notch customer service. The comfortable furniture added to the overall experience, making it even better than Starbucks. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great coffee experience.”
“Bottom line up front: do recommend, and will return.
First time eating here as a family, we were greeted immediately by our waiter Sean, and he pointed us to a table to sit.
He brought us tea and waters, and I was very patient as we looked over the menu, which they have a pretty large menu...
12 pot stickers came with the order, the while family liked their flavor, and I thought they were a good value for the price compared to other places in the area.
We were impressed with the hearty braised beef noodle soup and the orange chicken, highly recommend.
Sean warned us that the Szechuan beef and the Mongolian beef were very similar, and made a good suggestion of another dish, but we assured him we wanted to try both of them. He was right, and I would agree you shouldn't order those two side-by-side. The spicy chicken was a soup, and it was good, but we probably wouldn't order it again.
Atmosphere got knocked down a point because the booths and bathroom is in need of deep cleaning or replacement/remodel.
Everyone in the family is looking forward to a return visit to try some of the other items on the menu.”
“Ordered from Carr's for the first time today. Everything my family got was amazing! I had to call and let them know to kiss the chef for us because the food was prepared perfectly! I know where I'm going for my bday this year. Thank you for the amazing food!”
“Great Food, flavorful and better than boiling crab!! Great service!”
“I love sugar cookies. they are a lot of work so I do not like to make them. So I have been all over Washington always looking for the best sugar cookie and I FINALLY found it! some places have good cookies and some have good frosting but no one else has both. They make the perfect cookie with the perfect frosting. we also had the pumkin bar and it was absolutely delicious. we will definitely be back soon!”
Online Reservation Available
“It is like a fine food restaurant with affordable prices! I’ve been here 3 times and enjoyed everything I ordered! Limited Hours and Days, Reservations can be made 30 days in advance and the website it very informative. I found it by searching “Rainier Room” and it is at Clover Park Technical College.”
“Our favorite place now! My order: Unagi (nigiri), Vegetable Tempura, Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special. Dad's oder: Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special and 5 order of maguro to go. The unagi was the best i have had in over 10 years. The tempura was light, crunchy and flavorful. My Dad is very particular about food and I am known to order the same item over and over. I have been trying different things and pleased with each one here. Everything was as good as it could possibly be. So happy!”
“love the food, love the prices, love the people most, and love the special decor that makes the atmosphere magical!”
“Best Pho food PQ, thank you.
Soup was Right on with flavor, spice,meat, noodles, hit the spot tonight. Been craving your food all day!
My mom loved her chicken, garlic stir fry and the rice was cooked just how she likes it.
You want good Pho food trust me I WILL NOT BE GETTING PHO FOOD ANYWHERE BUT HERE!
I tried three other pho restaurants but this one takes a ORCAR first up.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“Open 24 hours / 7 Days a week. Great spot for solid Mexican takeout. Decent prices, friendly and professional service. Great food made with quality ingredients. Very fresh. We go out of the way to patronize this location. Awesome variety of pretty much anything you could ever want. Drive up is 24 hours. Dining room closes at midnight I believe. Food is always made fresh to order.”
“They are just so friendly here they you know customize your order they're gonna make it how you like it the obviously saw I had children that gave me tons of extra napkins which I really appreciate it they're very clean they wash their hands they wear gloves they're wearing mask.”
“Received an order from this place. While the food was great, they didn't give me ketchup packets. I can understand not having some certain condiments like a popular new sauce and buffalo, but what kind of McDonald's runs out of ketchup packets of all things? Now I can't even use the Ranch dressing (that I PAID extra for, mind you) because I mix the ranch and ketchup together.”
“The food here is fine but they are unbelievably slow. My grandson waited 25 minutes for a piece of pie. We have been several times and it is always the same. Wait,wait!,”
“The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We came in for an early dinner but by the time we left the place was packed! Ppl clearly love this hidden gem!”
Takeout Restaurants
“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!”
“This is the best orange chicken place in Tacoma hands down.
Outdoor not really enticing, but don't be fooled. Inside is clean and cute. A bit dated, but that's part of the charm.
Well portioned servings of orange chicken and general tso. The radish kimchi could use a bit more work, but that's fine.
Service could also be friendlier, but that's not what we came for so overall, this place still deserves a solid 5 stars.”
“OMG!!! THE BEST BOBA EVERRRR
My friend and I got boba from the place next to HMART. Couldn’t even drink it cause it tasted so blehhh…So we went here and got 4 different flavors. My friend got Taro, I got strawberry matcha, strawberry tea and the roasted matcha drink. I can’t describe how delicious they are over these boring words. I will definitely keep coming back!!!”
“Such a great place to take the family! Variety of burgers all are super tasty especially the Marsala chicken sandwich and the shakes are great!! Love having a game system at the table to keep the kids entertained while we waited just a short time for the food! Great service, comfortable atmosphere and incredible food!”
“I visited this bakery and bought four pastries today. Some popular items were already sold out because I went around 1:00 p.m., so if you want the best selection, I recommend going in the morning.
The pastries were fresh and delicious. However, I was disappointed with the service. I chose not to buy a plastic bag, but I expected the cashier to place my individually wrapped pastries into one paper bag, as they have done during my previous visits. Instead, I had to carry each one separately to my car.
I don't know if it was because I didn't leave a tip, but it made me feel that way. It left me with a disappointing impression of the customer service.”

“Great pizza some of the best I've had since living here for over 30 years. But the service was horrible . Brianna i think that was her her name was. I get being busy but she forgot our salads, remined her and she basically shrugged her shoulders as if i was putting her out. One of the worst servers I've had in a long time, she could care less about our table or her job. I'll be back because the pizza was that good . I'll just be sure to not sit in her section.”
“I've loved gravity coffee for years! They have the best drinks. Their coffee always tastes fresh, even the iced coffee does! My favorite drink is the interstellar. The ladies here are always nice and make the drinks great. Stella is my fave to see at the drive thru! 🔥”
“The naengmyeon is outta this world!
So, friggin' DELICIOUS 🤤
jinjja eomcheongnage mas-iss-eo!
It's clear that the chef truly LOVES Korean cuisine, you can taste it in the food. The atmosphere is really special, welcoming and fun. First time eating there, and we will 100% be going back, soon to try the rest of the menu!”
“I think this is most authentic Korean food in 200 miles. I lived in Korean for 19yrs. Everything is fresh, quality meat, sides dishes. I love this place highly recommended.”
Cheap Eats
“We order from Yum Yum Teriyaki often and are always satisfied with their food and service. We especially like the house Yakisoba and beef broccoli, but all their food is delicious! The owners are very friendly and work hard to please. We highly recommend this restaurant!”
“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.”

“love the mala hot! if you like spicy chicken this is one of the greatest hidden gems of Federal Way. a bit pricey at regular price, but they are always running specials. Definitely my go-to place for spicy chicken anywhere between Seattle and Tacoma.”
“We haven’t been here in a while but stopped in recently for the steak special dinner and I was really impressed. The new bartender was so sweet and provided great service. It was busy but she made sure we were taken care of. The food was also excellent everything came out fresh and tasted amazing!”
“Absolutely love this place!!! The chef fulfilled a personal request for an item not listed on the menu with no hesitation and it came out perfectly💓 the staff is wonderfully kind and patient, and everything was so clean!!!”

Today there was a new person serving us with somebody There for her with as a support and the new server did an amazing job. All staff was very kind and very welcoming. I saw another tables order and their spaghetti and pastas looked really good with really huge meatballs!!!”

“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.”

“Big shout out to Sam. He truly does an amazing job keeping the lobby clean, checking in with each table to make sure they have everything needed. Sam has conversations with us every visit even remembered my sister went on vacation two months ago! He makes my kids feel noticed by remembering their names while he offers them a stamp. Even when customers do not have the best attitude towards him he always seems to have a positive attitude back. Overall I appreciate the cleanliness of the restaurant, playground and bathrooms. The team at this Chick-fil-A has been doing an amazing job!”
“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.”
“i have been coming to this burger king for a few months. friendly service every time, clean store, food is always correct and very tasty, always fresh. the only thing is, i will order my food ahead and they will ask if i want any sauces, despite me having already ordered the sauces. whenever they dont ask, the sauces dont end up in my bag. this isnt enough to warrant removing a star, but the sauces do show up on my paper receipt so i assume the workers can see them as well. not sure if its just an efficiency thing but it can be confusing for people who think they already ordered the sauces that should be in the bag already. but all in all, i will continue returning to this location on the regular, ive seen some nasty BKs and this is so far from those, it deserves much praise”

“Wendy’s is one of those places that stays steady every time you go. The food comes out fast, the burgers taste fresh, and the fries and Frosty combo always hits the way it should. The service is usually quick and straightforward, and the whole experience feels simple and reliable. It’s an easy stop when you want something good without overthinking it.”

“This place is seriously the best. And I really mean that. Literally everything I've tried from them has been absolutely phenomenal, the presentation is beautiful, you can tell they take care when placing the toppings on each pizza, the calzones are top tier and they have so many options including vegetarian and halal, and the greek salad is HUGE. My favorite is the gyros though. Great rewards in the app, BUT make sure to tip cash in store because i believe tips in the app go to doordash and not Can Am's friendly and hardworking employees, and you know they definitely deserve the tip!!! Thank you Can Am for so many amazing meals and more meals to come, you're my favorite takeout place!”
“My kids love to have ice cream here. They have so many flavors of ice cream including flavors from Mexican candy. And a verity of food and aguas frescas to choose from. And they have great customer service while they also take the time so you can decide what you want.”
