I got the kimchi fried rice with beef and it was so delicious! A little spicy to make the nose run but no serious heat. I wish I had tried the chicken because the beef was a little tough to chew but overall bursting with flavor and I really enjoyed it with the lovely view! Clean restaurant and kind staff
Spectacular restaurant. Food is fresh. Service was spot on and the entire experience was just lovely. Combine that with the view and you have a not to miss spot. Mahalo.
lychee and passion fruit shave ice were so yummy on a sunny day! fries were also nice and fresh. great service!
We were visiting our daughter and our son-in-law says this is his favorite spot! After trying the Kahlua pork sliders I can see why. Great place to grab a quick bite!
Went here because we heard they had great Hawaiian food. We loved the atmosphere but the food was a little disappointing! The fish sandwich was very good but the popular pulled pork platter was dry and lacked flavor. The slaw barely had any sauce or flavor. We were disappointed for how popular this restaurant is!
Other than the views, I am shocked this place has such high ratings. Service was slow and poor. There is so much better Hawaiian and Korean cuisine out there. The food was just not good here
Came at the recommendation of a friend. Food was alright/edible. View was lovely (but I came on a nice day)
Awesome place to grab a bite with an amazing waterfront view looking back to downtown Seattle. I had a Kimchi Fried Rice bowl and 2 musubi's and it was super fresh and very tasty.
Put this place on your list of restaurants to eat while in Seattle. Outside seating is available with an incredible view of the Seattle skyline. Food is fantastic. Do not miss this one.

Fish and chips was meh
Person on the register was nice
This is low key one of the best restaurants in West Seattle. Been going for years. Get the Luaua plates with double meat. Spicy Pork is hard to beat.

My sister and her husband were visiting and they wanted to try a local eatery, we chose Marination. The food is always consistent. Port Katsu sandwich was spectacular! The Aloha Fries with an egg on top is a perfect combination. The Street Tacos were devoured, two thumbs up from my sister and her husband. The service was great, thoroughly enjoyed talking with the bartender. The seating can be tough in the winter months. Outdoor seating has no heaters, tent shelters you from the rain. Indoor seating is limited, but the turnover is quick. Takeout from Marination is very convenient, parking for pick-ups almost at the front door.
Parking: Sometimes you get lucky and find a spot in the parking lot. If not, drive down to the boat launch and on the south side of the launch is parking. The walk to the restaurant is a couple blocks away. It's worth burning a couple calories.

The owner is the nicest lady ever. There was a mishap with me ordering through DoorDash and she made it right really quickly, even though it was my mistake. The food was delicious and I highly recommended for anyone visiting the Seattle area.
