“I normally don’t review a restaurant after one visit, but Marzano was exceptional. It’s an approachable fine dining experience. The staff was great, and definitely give the impression that they genuinely care about your visit. We took a chance on the appetizer special, and were very happy that we stepped outside our comfort zone (Traditional Venetian antipasto of marinated salt cod on squid ink polenta cakes paired with whipped ciccione crostini, sour cherries and hazelnuts). The lasagna bolognese and carbonara were absolutely amazing from the first bite to the last. I’ve never had better.”

“What a great find! Shawn and his team have created something really special with Tibbitts Fernhill. We were in the area and stopped in just to see it in person, but he insisted we stay and experience his food- we were so glad he did! Everything was incredible and it made my Tlingit husband so proud to see a thriving indigenous business in the area that is having such a positive impact on the community. There is so much more than delicious food to be found here, there is heart and soul and intention on every plate. I'd highly recommend making a reservation and experiencing this place for yourself!”

“We went for the first time last night for my early birthday dinner at the recommendation of a friend and we were NOT disappointed! We started with a bottle of Walla Walla Sangiovese which was delicious. We had the Queso Fundido, for sides we ordered Rajitas Poblanas (Fire roasted poblano peppers in a cream and corn sauce) and the Papa Loca (Baked and seasoned potato topped with smoked bacon, 4 cheese blend, Mexican crema and wagyu carne asada), we each got the filet mignon flight which had 3 filets- the Japanese A5 Wagyu was SO amazing! For dessert we had the flan flight (sweet cream, Nutella, sweet corn) and the Basque Cheesecake. Every bite was phenomenal and the service was outstanding- I love the whole vibe on the restaurant and how personable and helpful the staff was. While not cheap, it was definitely worth it and we will definitely be going back!”

“Located in a food hall with street parking. No AC so in the summer it can get a little warm inside. The food was fantastic with great portions. One of the best pad Thai I had since moving to Washington. Not too sweet, tangy, spicy. Husband had the fried garlic chicken I believe and he said that was fantastic as well. Owner (I think) was super sweet and asked us how we liked her food afterwards. Highly recommend! If we didn’t live so far we would be here more often.”

The Caesar salad was a classic done right, with fresh, crisp greens and a rich, tangy dressing that elevated every bite. The honey-butter glazed carrots were a delightful balance of sweetness and warmth, and the Corona beans with sun dried tomatoes offered a new flavor to round out the meal. Even the sourdough bread, roasted on the grill, was a revelation—crusty, smoky, and utterly sublime. Every dish showcased for this January special met with meticulous care and mastery, making it clear the chef and kitchen team are nothing short of extraordinary. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience you’ll savor long after the last bite. Highly recommend!”

However, I must express my disappointment with their steak. It was excessively gristle-filled, which could have been an unfortunate coincidence with the particular cut I received. Nevertheless, I’m willing to give them another chance for drinks, but their steak is definitely not on my list of must-try dishes. 😉”

“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.”

Gari of Sushi 1209 S 38th St, Tacoma Japanese • $$

“The food sushi at this place is legit amazing. It's the real deal, and if you're in Tacoma, want great sushi, you should totally go.

But here's what happened to me. I just wanted a light dinner, a one single roll (the Geshi roll—so good), a salad, and some miso. Communication with waitstaff isn't always solid so I pointed to the roll I wantedT. he waitress said the name of a different, way more expensive roll which I said no too and reiterated just the the one Geshi roll.

When the food came, she brought out my Geshi roll... (again, really good) and the roll I didn't order. I tried to talk to her about this but she just pointed at her notepad showing that she wrote down two rolls so that what my order was. Like I said, communication ont the best, it was super awkward and I didn't have time to argue.

So I ended up paying double what I wanted for dinner because of this. I was too full so I left it left it untouched. It was too hot a day to have raw fish sitting in my car for hours.

It's a bummer because the food itself is a solid 10/10. But the experience was such gut punch and awkward that I won't be going back, which sucks. It's great food, just triple-check your order before she walks away.”

Gari of Sushi 1209 S 38th St, Tacoma Japanese • $$

“The food sushi at this place is legit amazing. It's the real deal, and if you're in Tacoma, want great sushi, you should totally go.

But here's what happened to me. I just wanted a light dinner, a one single roll (the Geshi roll—so good), a salad, and some miso. Communication with waitstaff isn't always solid so I pointed to the roll I wantedT. he waitress said the name of a different, way more expensive roll which I said no too and reiterated just the the one Geshi roll.

When the food came, she brought out my Geshi roll... (again, really good) and the roll I didn't order. I tried to talk to her about this but she just pointed at her notepad showing that she wrote down two rolls so that what my order was. Like I said, communication ont the best, it was super awkward and I didn't have time to argue.

So I ended up paying double what I wanted for dinner because of this. I was too full so I left it left it untouched. It was too hot a day to have raw fish sitting in my car for hours.

It's a bummer because the food itself is a solid 10/10. But the experience was such gut punch and awkward that I won't be going back, which sucks. It's great food, just triple-check your order before she walks away.”

“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.”

Lechon Loco 3511 McKinley Ave, Tacoma Filipino • $$

“Been following everything I could about this restaurant on their social media as well as what news I could find as a Filipino restaurant in Tacoma is super exciting! I came here with my mother (but will come here with my Filipino boyfriend) to try them out! We were able to find parking luckily and we also were lucky to grab the last seat as they had a full house inside. Our waiter welcomed us very warmly and professionally before grabbing some menus and then taking us over to the table. The table had little mats with utensils and at the wall end of the table had condiments, sauces, and little sauce dishes. The walls had some art on them with yellow and green paint on the walls. I felt the decor was cute and gives vibes of street eateries, which also feels amplified with street food videos at the Philippines playing on the TVs. The bathroom is all gender too as they had a urinal and toilet as well as a baby changing area.

Our waiter did a great job checking in on tables and providing the same hospitality he showed us to everyone else. The check ins were less frequent once the restaurant was getting empty, but I am impressed with how fast they cleaned up tables once they get cleared. When I told him that I was a Yelp Elite and here for the event, he immediately told me that he would get me the Calamansi iced tea and got the lumpia getting made for me. We ended up ordering the lechon belly and a little later we got the ube iced coffee. The drinks were very refreshing and not overly sweet, which made us very happy as more often you get overly sweet drinks. Also, I noticed not one review mentioned their complimentary chips and salsa but I learned from the waiter that you can ask for it and they will provide it. Additionally, they will refill it for you too! The salsa didn't really have anything memorable but it's a complimentary so I'm not really going to say it was a negative. The lechon is by far one of the best that I have had in Washington. The stuffing they put in the lechon, especially the lemongrass, is such a burst of umami! Definitely coming back and trying more of their menu as well as return back for some favorites from this trip.”

Also the employees were extremely respectful and comforting I wish I could remember the name of my server but the food was so good that I didn’t really catch his name”

“Walk through the door, a dozen pinball games line the entrance. Approach the bar to a great selection of beer, hard alcohol and some amazing people behind the bar. Cocktail recommendations listed behind the bar. Amazing selection of sandwiches from Phillys to Cubans. They treated me like an old friend instead of a new customer. This is truly the heart of and height of old school Tacoma hospitality. Rumor on the street is they're expanding their venue for live music, and I can't wait to get back there.”

“Went to dinner for date night. Hadn’t been in a number of years. We were very pleased with the experience. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server, Steve, was very attentive and friendly. It was his second night on the job. He was excellent! We started with the mozzarella caprese appetizer. It was delicious. For our main courses I had the cioppino and my husband had the filet. Both were excellent. For dessert I had the raspberry sorbet - very refreshing; my husband had the turtle brownie. Again both were excellent.”

“My first trip there I ordered the spiked tuna slider. It was so good. Best tuna sandwich I have ever had. I would order it again but there are so many other great looking sandwiches that I have to try first. My second trip there I ordered the Western with pork. My first thought was why did they give me so many napkins? My second thought was- I need more napkins. Tip for this monster sandwich- save the chips and use them to scoop up all of the yummy drippings. You will love this sandwich.”

Hollandaise was good and the elk, sadly was not very flavorful. The thing that sucked and pretty much ruined the meal was when we go the check we were basically charged for 2 bloodys each! $28 for a dbl Bloody Mary. Doesn’t make sense when a shot of vodka is just $8! Asked manager and her response was “I don’t make up the prices. This is ridiculous!” We won’t be back.”

Spring rolls are fantastic. I would definitely go again. I wish I lived closer to them. I'd be going at least twice or three times a month. Great atmosphere. Very kind people who run it. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody. Large groups would be a little bit difficult. But if you had like five or six people they could accommodate you. I thought the prices were reasonable. Especially for the quality and quantity of food you get. I think you will enjoy this place as much as I did. I'm from the other side of the state so anytime I get a chance to go over to the Tacoma area I will definitely be coming back to this place. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by this little gem.”

“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.”

I got myself my usual bulgogi bowl and tried the fried chicken. The bowl was just as solid as I remember but the friend chicken may have stole the show. I have legit been here multiple times now and have ordered through DoorDash when I don’t want to make the drive to the mall.

“Our First experience at Woven was nothing short of spectacular! Kevin was out waiter and very attentive, communicative, knowledgeable and had a sense of humor! All of the dishes were delicious. It started with yummy seasoned, finger licking good edamame for the table. We shared stellar apps, such as the Brussel Sprouts (must get), Salmon dip and the Short Ribs; yes they fell right off the bone and into my mouth!
I got the Seafood Paella and I am looking forward to lunch today to with the left overs. The rest of our party had the Cobb Salad, Miso Codd, Salmon, Sushi and Ribs. All were delicious and we each tried everything.
It was our Mom's 80th Birthday and they treated her well and made her night very special.
In summary, the whole Woven team made our experience wonderful. They never let our waters get low and they intuitively new what we needed before we asked from start to finish!

Well done Woven, we will be back :)”

Lechon Loco 3511 McKinley Ave, Tacoma Filipino • $$

“Been following everything I could about this restaurant on their social media as well as what news I could find as a Filipino restaurant in Tacoma is super exciting! I came here with my mother (but will come here with my Filipino boyfriend) to try them out! We were able to find parking luckily and we also were lucky to grab the last seat as they had a full house inside. Our waiter welcomed us very warmly and professionally before grabbing some menus and then taking us over to the table. The table had little mats with utensils and at the wall end of the table had condiments, sauces, and little sauce dishes. The walls had some art on them with yellow and green paint on the walls. I felt the decor was cute and gives vibes of street eateries, which also feels amplified with street food videos at the Philippines playing on the TVs. The bathroom is all gender too as they had a urinal and toilet as well as a baby changing area.

Our waiter did a great job checking in on tables and providing the same hospitality he showed us to everyone else. The check ins were less frequent once the restaurant was getting empty, but I am impressed with how fast they cleaned up tables once they get cleared. When I told him that I was a Yelp Elite and here for the event, he immediately told me that he would get me the Calamansi iced tea and got the lumpia getting made for me. We ended up ordering the lechon belly and a little later we got the ube iced coffee. The drinks were very refreshing and not overly sweet, which made us very happy as more often you get overly sweet drinks. Also, I noticed not one review mentioned their complimentary chips and salsa but I learned from the waiter that you can ask for it and they will provide it. Additionally, they will refill it for you too! The salsa didn't really have anything memorable but it's a complimentary so I'm not really going to say it was a negative. The lechon is by far one of the best that I have had in Washington. The stuffing they put in the lechon, especially the lemongrass, is such a burst of umami! Definitely coming back and trying more of their menu as well as return back for some favorites from this trip.”

“At 9am on a Sunday morning, I forgot I was on the hook to make breakfast for a meeting of 40 people at 10am. I downloaded the McDonald's app and ordered $250 of breakfast muffins, biscuits, bagels and burritos.

I got to the restaurant at 930am and they had EVERYTHING ready, separated in bags, condiments, napkins and utensils. The manager who was in charge was on point. The food was hot, fresh and exactly as ordered. I wish I had the gentleman's name who was manager so I could mention him here - it was literally the best service I've had at any McDonald's.

I didn't know the McDonald's had moved to their own brand new store next to the Chevron station they used to be. The restaurant was immaculately clean, quite atmosphere and service was amazing. Food was hot, fresh and exactly as ordered.

This will be my go-to McDonald's from now on. Thank you!”
