This place is always a chill time, zero drama and live entertainment.
The Somosas are incredible.

Gotta come! Great variety of food. Occasionally they have a buffet so I drove down from Everett in the rain. Todays event was sponsored with food from Chop Chop of Kent. It happens last Sunday of every month.
Rumba was packed for the special occasion.I felt most welcome. Organizer Kofi Tay from Chop Chop welcomed me. The Chop Chop co-owner and cashier Tierra was so welcoming. The servers Savior and Rejoice very generous. DJ Chris kept a lively mix of African fusion music. Family friendly with dancing kids. I'm going back for seconds especially fried fish, marinated eggs, noodles and beans with a smokey flavor. Warm sense of community around food and music. Come and enjoy new flavors in your life.

I didnt try much of the food, but this is a pretty cool spot. Stage and sound could use some work along with an updated menu, but this place and the people there are really cool.
I had a good time playing a show there and really encourage people to check out the live music. I think there's an open jam/jazz night there...

The food is good. However, the atmosphere can be iffy due to the crowd. As a woman, I do not feel safe here. There are more men than women who go here, and I do feel like the male patrons are running the women off. They act as if they do not understand boundaries or NO! Everyone knows the owner. That's not a power move to get a woman to like you! Until the owner stops letting creeps in his establishment, there will continue to be a lack of women patrons. Also. Try having dinner specials. There is way too much space for the lounge to be empty on weekends even week nights! Something isn't working. That man dressed like a broke down Martin Luther King drunk in a trench coat with a 5th of vodka stumbling down the street every day keeps coming back scaring off the women with his nasty creepy behavior. Don't get me started on the other men who get mad when women turn down their advances that they think it's okay to drive around the parking lot stalking them! I won't be coming back here because I don't feel safe here.
