“Such an amazing location. Very welcoming and quick to serve. I've been going here for years and would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates good customer service and authentic food.”

“Empire Coffee in Seattle offers an exceptional coffee experience. The aroma of freshly locally roasted beans fills the air, creating an inviting atmosphere. The coffee taste smooth (best medium roast). A must-visit for anyone craving a delightful coffee journey in the heart of Seattle.”

“The food was delicious and plentiful. We took home enough for another meal. We had the rice croquettes, lasagna, and lemon shrimp with capellini. We drank a bottle of house wine. All was wonderful. The ambiance was okay, not terribly romantic. I understand there will soon be live music on Thursdays. We'll go back for that and the good food. We might order less next time.”

“Came in before a long day of traveling to enjoy a nice meal and watch part of the football game, and was not disappointed. The inside has televisions all around, so no need to fight to get a chair that can view the TV. Waitress was super sweet and helpful, and our food came out extremely fast and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend and will be coming back”

“The food is tasty, prices are affordable and you get a large amount of food. The staff are friendly, helpful and service is fast. The restaurant is always clean and so are thier bathrooms. This will be my new place for teriyaki and sushi and best of all they are open extra late, till 12 am for pick up and delivery.”

“First time came in Teak house at Sun night around 6pm with my hubby.There were no customers in the restaurant, but a woman showed us to a table. First I ordered hot tea. The tea came in a pot, so I was able to drink plenty of it. After that we ordered Teak house noodle and Crispy garlic chicken. Another group of customers took their seats. Several customers came for takeout. The Crispy garlic chicken we ordered was well seasoned and delicious. I also liked the Teak house noodle because it tasted good.The woman at the restaurant was prompt and had very good service. We would like to come again”

“Good location. Parking. Drive through. Indoor and outdoor seating. Fast service.Vegetarian options: Veggie wraps. Meatless sandwiches. Soy milk instead of cow's milk.Parking: Parking stalls in the lot in front of the building.Kid-friendliness: Tables large enough for families.”

“Once upon a time at the Kent Papa Johns there was this awesome pizza girl. She was friendly, gave great service, and made sure your food was solid.Nearly a year later I walk into my new local Papa John's and not only is this pizza girl there, she remembers my name from the order system and is happy to see a previous regular customer.Turns out that pizza girl now runs her own Papa John's, my local one, and we're all lucky to have her.Grats to you pizza girl, you're the best.”

“Love how friendly Erika is when you walk into the store. She has always made my sandwiches well and makes sure that they are correct before we are finished with our orders.”

“There is a reason it can be hard to get a reservation at this restaurant. This is a special place. Hands down the best meal I've had in Seattle and some of the best Italian food I've had in the States. The service is top notch, as they go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied and cared for. Chef Katie really cares about the food that comes out of the kitchen and it shows. I highly recommend ordering a few dishes and sharing. Most dishes are perfect for two and you'll want to share in order to get a good sampling of the menu variety. You can tell a lot of heart goes into the food as it hits Italian comfort food spot on. Highly recommend the focaccia and you can't go wrong with any of the pastas, but I recommend the tagliatelle ragù if you're looking for something more traditional. The atmosphere is also a unique experience and makes you feel like you're coming home for family dinner. I highly recommend dining at Il Nido, you will not be disappointed.”

“I must say that the cuisine served here is simply delectable - without a doubt, it is the most delicious food you can find in all of Seattle. And besides the amazing food, I had the pleasure of conversing with Joe, the manager, who was not only great to talk to but also incredibly approachable.Vegetarian options: I must say that the cuisine served here is simply delectable - without a doubt, it is the most delicious food you can find in all of Seattle.Parking: straight parkingKid-friendliness: Nice, small cozy placeWheelchair accessibility: Street level”

“Had a chill time at Ghostfish brewing on a Wednesday evening. Didn't adore the food we tried, but definitely appreciated the variety of diet accommodating options. Beer was gluten free which is a feat for sure.”

“What a nice place, second time I've been there and the service is excellent, the pizzas were delicious, the salad and my shot of espresso were delicious. I enjoyed it a lot!!?? ”

“I ordered a lamb burger at the bar and it was delicious. the goat cheese, lamb and grilled onion worked really well together. The English muffin style bun was crispy and worked surprisingly well too.”

“I've been a loyal fan of Lady Jaye (and the crew before they were LJ) for years, and I can't sing its praises enough. The food is consistently top-notch, and those cocktails? SO impressive. As a whiskey lover, I appreciate their variety of whiskey-based drinks. The fun twists, like the soft serve + toppings dessert, popcorn on every table, and American cheese on their Wagyu burger - not just for show ya'll—it all tastes amazing and adds to the vibe.The place is cozy and welcoming, no pretentiousness here. Servers are warm, friendly, and always on top of their game.A few weeks ago, me and some friends booked the Friday night smoked tomahawk. Best decision ever. Tomahawk was smoked to perfection, juicy, and medium-rare. And the sides? We loved 'em all. The meal easily fed three hungry adults and a ravenous 7-year-old, and we were stuffed!Definitely a favorite spot of mine. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out—go check it out!”

“Beer Star gets a 5-star from me. They have an incredibly expansive selection of beer offers as well as wine and other non-spirit based alcohols.I hosted my birthday here and they comfortably accommodated 20 people to have drinks and watch football while. It is a big plus that children can be in most places of the venue space. In addition, you can either bring outside food in to dine or choose from one of the two restaurants attached to Beer Star and choose from burgers or pizza.This is a treasure in White Center.”

“A nice quality old school drive through, simple burger and shake place that has never failed to meet my expectations. Highly recommendParking: It can be a little tight to park as this place shares parking with the surrounding business, never had an issue though on the weekend”

“Beautiful spot for a dinner date! We went here to celebrate a birthday and the entire experience was wonderful. Food tasted fresh, the two wine options went great with the meals and the dessert was simple but tasty. Will definitely be coming back (maybe during the day the next time since the space is so pretty).Parking is a bit tricky but there is an alley right next to the restaurant where you can find additional parking spots.”

“I came from San Jose CA. exclusively to eat tacos de barbacoa, excellent food, its owners as well as employees, give an excellent service. Thanks La Chingona Taqueria for your excelente service.”

“This place was so good! Adam was the friendly gentleman who assisted me and the pizza was awesom, crispy gooey cheesy and yummy unique toppings. The I loved the little house and yard where we waited for our ”

“We've been three times now. Not just every dish, but every single bite has been a revelation. Feels like a master class in balancing ingredients. Each item on the plate is delicious by itself, and then even better with the others. No two bites are alike.And my lord, the rolls. THE ROLLS. I have eaten in a thousand restaurants by now. To get me this excited about bread??”

“Such a cool hidden gem in Burien! I got a slice of cheesecake and a slice of the pistacchio as well. Total of $19.08. A little pricey but the quality is really good and they have a good selection. The staff is very friendly and it is in a cool building with glass window hole in the floor so you can see what is going on beneath in the bakery. A cool place so if you are in the area (say to have the best spaghetti and meatballs at Vince's Italian, right around the corner), then stop in here after.”

“Wonderful cake shop- has me looking forward to my next visit. We had the banana cake with banana pudding in the layers, and the chocolate malt cake. We loved both, but the banana one maybe a tad bit more! The cake slices are generous and around $10 each. The space is clean and inviting, if not a bit basic, but that's the aesthetic of Georgetown in general I think. Will be back!”

“Came here with friends for a nice steak dinner and was blown away. May was an awesome server and very attentive even with a crowded restaurant. Definitely coming back.”

“Best tasting coffees! Pro tip: if you like a mocha, try their Medici. Doesn’t get any better than that. Pastries are all really good too and the Staffs super nice. Cozy inside with a few spots to work and then during the summer they have a few outside tables.”

“I am often n this neighborhood..needed a lift one day so I went in there. Had no idea what to order because it's a whole new world of coffee drinks. I was a barista for 20 some yrs and I feel like I've seen it all. I stand corrected! *Let me first say this; I in no way intend on steering anyone away from trying this place based on my future statement If a small business, an original of it's kind, one that is not majorly marketed/advertised wants to actually "make it" and stand the test of time; not just do ok and finance some short term goals for the owners. They must think out entirely what it is that generates sustainable customer base. What inspires customers to extend themselves and share w others again and again both positive and negative, within food type experiences? As a naturally curious person, this concept has always been a fascinating one for me. How can businesses get it so wrong/right!? * That being said..It was a fluke the day I entered this place for the first time that a fellow customer walk in and feel like sharing w me the best drink ever for them, one they get repeatedly, and should just take their advice and try it. So, I did. Yep, I'm hooked! It's the only drink I get there and how I look forward to it in between splurges! Let it be noted that if it was not for the other customer, I'd still likely not know what to order or even be writing this book right now. You see, the employees of this great coffee shop are so so untrained/familiar w the concept of, just because you know something doesn't mean anyone else does..and if you are in the business of appeal and temptation/weakness intrigue and indulgence instigating, well you should know everything there is to know about the product and be fluent in it's language.Why am I spending my time sharing this w an unknown audience? It's just in my nature I guess. You see, I really like this place and I am fascinated by their product. I am however so perplexed by their aloofness and lack of connection w the exact people they are there to attract. How do we know what to order, and why should we..how can I not live without including their product in my life on a regular basis?! Because this concept has seemingly missed them completely (the owners) it totally takes a huge part of the impact of how great their product is; away! I mean like literally. After I ordered my same drink around 7-8 times, I was ready to branch out. I've attempted to receive intrigue from the workers w such a failure rate it's a shame. So, I have remained ordering the same ol same ol and it's become redundant and irrelevant. I am slipping away new favorite coffee shop, can't you tell? I now have negative feelings towards you along w the excitement of the new to share w people. Does it take a genius to realize this is no good? Do I want to continue dumping $12-15 each visit (just on my drink and tip) when there is no connection, no interest in what it is they can do to keep me interested? The answer is no probably not. I'll give them a few more chances maybe, then I'll drift away w the open mind of discovering a new favorite coffee shop. Maybe this is why some giants in the same category, irregardless of how actually delicious their product is but more that every single thing they create they r experts in convincing us we must try and love and continue to consume and love and try again , repeat, repeat, repeat, they have stood the test of time? They figured this magic out first, then opened their doors!(PurpleHaze- iced!!!!!)”

“A well deserved 5/5 stars. Excellent service, great food, ambiance and music are a 10/10. It's a hidden gem, will definitely go back. I recommend the adobo tacos + the seafood tostada (10/10).”

“The flavors here are fantastic. Not quite to the point where you wonder how they make them work, but it all comes together brilliantly. Everything we had impressed, and tho you’re paying premium prices you’re going to come away with a special and memorable experience.Service and atmo were good, plating was solid, just not exceptional or anything, and there’s no easy parking.Still, def a solid choice for a special meal with those you love.”

“Order at the front and find a seat, don't skip over the homemade green sauce ready for retrieval on the side table. You cannot go wrong with any of the menu items. I have been searching the greater seattle area for a nice place of Filipino food and I am so so impressed with CheBogz. Personally tried to the longganisa plate and the chicken inihwa plate and... sheeeeeesh. That was amazing. Parking is a bit tough but try the neighborhoods around the restaurant, street parking is most likely.”

“Line was super long to get anything at this place. Had to wait almost an hour and a half and just barely got a donut before they ran out. The donut themselves were quite good ”
