“Came here for brunch at 10am to celebrate my Birthday. I wasn’t expecting to have such a personable experience and to be greeted by the owner. We ordered the hash and the French toast. Both dishes were superb and we loved how the food was plated. Everything looked so full and rich, that it just makes your mouth water. Shawn Tibbits even gave us a tour of his kitchen and it was amazing to hear his story and that he strives for sustainability and zero waste. We really support those practices and Alaskan mentality. I can’t wait to eat here again!”
“Great food and service. Our waitress (Sabrina) was the best. The food is better than what you can get in Italy. A must go to.”
“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.”
“A big shoutout to Duke's Seafood Restaurant for their incredibly generous gift of gift certificates for our amazing teachers at Browns Point Elementary School! Your kindness truly helps us show how much we appreciate the hard work and dedication of our fantastic educators. We feel so lucky to have such a thoughtful partner in our community—thank you for making a difference!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Our Favorite Spot on the Trip! We stopped in during a girls' trip and fell in love with the vibe. It's fun, cozy, and full of good energy—the kind of place that makes you want to stay a while. The owners were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel like we were right at home. Every single dish we tried was bursting with flavor—absolutely exquisite. And the drinks? So unique and delicious, you’ll want to try them all. From start to finish, the service was fantastic. This was hands down our favorite place on the trip. If you're in town, do yourself a favor and don’t miss this spot. Sooo good”
“Best wait staff anywhere hands down. This is an experience not just dinner out. Best dining since pre covid for sure. Wonderful! So happy we decided to come back.”
“🍕🍺 Hidden Gem Alert! We had a fantastic visit to the Crafty Beaver. The owner himself waited on us—such a genuinely kind and welcoming guy. We ordered pizza and wow… it was FANTASTIC! Crispy, flavorful, and crave-worthy—we're already dreaming about our next slice.
The space was spotless, cozy, and had a great vibe. Prices were very reasonable, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for great local beer, delicious food, and friendly service, this bar/restaurant is a must-visit.”

“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.”

“We just returned from a great dining experience. Great food and service. I highly recommend Bar Bistro.”
“West 122 is an absolute gem! The steak and lamb were beyond incredible—perfectly cooked, tender, and truly melted in our mouths. It was such a pleasure meeting Executive Chef Keno and bartender David. Both were exceptionally engaging, offering thoughtful guidance on our food and drink selections. I enjoyed a perfectly paired wine, while my husband savored a fine whiskey—both recommendations were spot on! The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and unforgettable. West 122 has certainly set the bar high, and it’s definitely a place we will revisit!”

“Asado Steakhouse delivers an unforgettable dining experience that feels straight from culinary heaven. The steak is a masterpiece—perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and seasoned to perfection. 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!”
“I just wanted to acknowledge bartender Rebeka who always goes out of the way to be kind too everyone and always knows my drink. always flawless, gorgeous, and funny. Also the Lamb burger and ceaser combo is exceptional. Keep it up Coopers! Hiring manager my hats off for the service and food.”
“The food was so delicious. we were in a big group and had a taste of many things on the menu. Lucky us. Another big plus was the staff. Congenial , well versed, and real professional. Even though there was a big crowd they looked relaxed. You didn't feel rushed. A great place to enjoy delicious food.”
“I have never had pizza to go and went there tonight. The second I walked in Patrick, Danni and Giuseppe were so warm, welcoming and quite the comedians! They suggested a glass of wine while I waited for my pizza so I went and had a glass of wine. The bartender was just as amazing as them! Hands down the best customer service in a long time and the pizza was outstanding! I'll definitely be back! Thank you :)”
“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!”
“10/10 I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. The food is so good, they take care of their smoked meats. The restaurant and bar is so amazing. Incredible atmosphere that you can escape into with incredible tiki and incredible respect to the pacific islands. This is our new favorite restaurant!”
“The OPH organization is absolutely wonderful. My daughter and I are visiting WA and ate at the Bothell location. My daughter purchased a forever coffee mug but left it on the table when we left. We contacted the Manager, Cameron, and he was absolutely amazing with coordinating the pick up of the mug at another location. We arrived at the Tacoma location to pick up the mug and eat lunch. The Manager, Alan, was anticipating our arrival and welcomed us with a big smile. He brought us the mug and for the remainder of our visit both our server Jorge and Manager Alan were very attentive. They checked on us regularly and made us feel like VIPs. Thank you to the OPH team for making our experience memorable. Amazing customer service. We will be back, Alan! Lisa and Jasmine Angiano from Phoenix, Az!”
“Party of 4 for my nephews birthday party. Zach was our server who had amazing presence and really knew what he was up to! Bravo to Zach. The new menu did not disappoint. 10 out of 10 - 100% recommend. We'll be back. Beignets for dessert - cherry on top of a lovely evening.”
“Fabulous meal, fantastic service. We ordered everything from the happy hour menu, and everything single dish was pitch perfect. Perfectly cooked, Perfectly seasoned. Our server was the perfect amount of there. Will be back.”

“Sarah on 72 you rock you are the face I look for I'm lying I look for your car in the parking lot lol but hey big foot did a great job in making you manager you are a valuable asset to the company and you deserve a raise I appreciate you for the kind words when I'm down and out and I thank you for you being you. See Sarah and her crew on 72 Portland you will be glad you did.”
“I go to Big Foot about once a week (sometimes even more), and it’s always a great experience. The staff are all very friendly, helpful, and welcoming every time I visit. Treasure, in particular, has been wonderful — she’s helped me choose flavors and always has great conversations while I wait. She’s consistently respectful, kind, and genuine, which really makes the experience feel personal.
That goes for the entire team too — everyone there treats customers with the same warmth and kindness. I love this place a lot and always feel happy walking in, knowing they’ll greet me with a smile and provide excellent service.”
“We have tried many flavors. Tonight was no different. I have to say the Ginger Bold was so good, but the Roasted Mate was terrific. We hit up their Kent warehouse. Give Wayne a shout. So knowledgeable and takes the time to show and taste his liquid gold. Hopefully coming out to a store near you. Keep a look out.”
“I wanted to take a moment to recognize the exceptional service provided by one of your employees Mandy . Mandy’s welcoming smile and friendly demeanor made me feel valued as a customer from the moment I walked through the door. She exhibited a remarkable level of professionalism and efficiency, ensuring that my order was accurate and promptly prepared. Her attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it significantly enhanced my overall experience.”
“I just want to give out a BIG shoutout to CAT at this location today. She is the sweetest person and she knows how to treat customers. I came to get a 16oz free from my app today for customer appreciation and it stated I used mine..I was like OMG I didn’t I just registered my card after 4 years of having it. She went above and beyond after another stated “ they couldn’t do anything about it”. Thank you CAT and I will returning to this location only because of the kindness she showed!!!”
“At first I was going to have to go to the gas station to break a hundred because I didn't have anything smaller but the very sweet server offered her own tip money to break my 100 so I can eat as soon as possible and rest. She also suggested that I get their special instead of the regular order which saved me about $10 it was delicious and the coffee was fresh and hot. She definitely earned her tip. As far as Denny's go this was a little hidden gem definitely a little sanctuary I would highly recommend it for any werry traveler.”
“I ordered the carnitas for takeout, I thought I had ordered the combo meal with rice n beans, but instead they delivered a huge delicious carnitas burrito!! No worries and good call on the burrito! I couldn't even make a dent in it after last nights flight into Seattle (1st timer here!) I'm now attempting to finish said burrito 😋😋🤤🤤 OMG So Delicious!!! 🌯😋❤️😍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”
“Love the people that are there. Makes you feel at home with some great soul food. And OMG the food is great! A must!”

“We found this gem after moving to Tacoma last summer and it has become a staple in our household. If you’re looking for a delicious bagel/sandwich/coffee worth every penny - this is your spot. Not to mention I drink my coffee exclusively from Howdy Bagel merch mugs!! Carve out the time in your day to get in here!”
“Very small, super friendly. And you will not believe the Pizza, herd great things. But I opened the box and had doughnuts. I WAS SO WRONG! The first bite WHO! Flavor, So Rich. And the flavor keeps coming!!! You are not going to eat the whole thing Rich! Flavor! You won't believe it!!!”
“The Red Hot is one of Tacoma’s best beer spots. The food is good, great selection of beers, and the service is top notch. Particularly our favorite bartender Elliott, who is such a mensch. He knows the kind of beer I like and is always Johnny on the spot with a great recommendation. My wife thinks he’s super cute, I cannot say, but I’ll take her word for it. He does always smell good, I’ll give him that. Except once when he smelled rather strongly of sauerkraut but that was the result of a rather unfortunate mishap with a 5 gallon bucket of sauerkraut which was entirely outside of his control. He can also spit mad rhymes but only after a few strong IPA’s. Anyway, go check out The Red Hot and if you get Elliott as a server, drop a phat beat on him and watch what he can do.”
“A to Z, this place is nailing it! Fantastic variety of food, 100% recommend their variety platter of sausage and more. The spicy cheese sausage was grand! The staff was so kind and attentive. Made friends around the fire and loved the beer! Will be there again! Prost!”
“Went solely for an espresso martini that was out of this world and very fairly priced. The bartender was prompt and very friendly. Clearly people were having a nice time. I’d definitely go back!”

“We had their sausage egg sandwich on brioche buns. They were super hot and tasty. The coffee drinks used great chocolate in the mocha and a creme brûlée latte with their caramel whipped cream! We were at their newest location on Ruston and the barista was hustling to keep up with the business.”
“Terrific Tom’s handyman services would like to let everyone know just how legendary your donuts are👍👉 yours the best in the Pacific Northwest hands-down my crew and I fell in love. Iwith the donuts. Thank you for providing excellent quality and love and everything you do Michelle is a wonderful server of the excellent donuts there.”
“Love love and love this place! It’s been years since I came back and it’s still the same amazing quality! It lives up to its name, if you spot this in your area don’t miss out! Last time I got the chai latte and today I got blueberry and strawberry matcha. The person helped us pick out what’s best for our palate (we are super indecisive). I personally like a drink on the sweeter side so I went for the blueberry matcha and it was super good. The matcha taste is the best I’ve had so far, not too strong or anything crazy. Plus this place is so cute! They even had a sign that says “hot girls drink matcha” which is so slay, such cute marketing I love it.”
“I stumbled upon this gem Sunday and I have to say we love everything about this place. From the desserts to the kindness of everyone. We got a little of everything. I can’t wait to go back into town to try more stuff. Our drive home back to Beaverton never tasted so sweet! Thanks guys!!! PS the Asian Ice is a must try! Soooo delicious!!! 😋😋😋”
“First time coming here last Friday. Came here with my cousin, we ordered the karaage chicken, tempura, sashimi rolls & spicy tuna roll. iIt was pretty good, I can tell everything was freshly made. I'd definitely come back”
“I am obsessed with the nachos, love the happy hour menu, the romaine salad, and the cucumber jalapeño margarita.”

“Delicious food and gorgeous presentation. The owners were very friendly and attentive.”
“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.”
“Incredible find! The food is delightful and the chefs are the so friendly. I live in Colorado and am envying my friend who gets to eat there again and again.”
“We were greeted and seated with no reservation. Service and food were impeccable. SJ”
“Stopped in for their soft opening. Very friendly service from Ellie and really good Burger and fries !! Many more unique items to come back and try which I definitely will do !!”
“I always get the vegetarian bento box, which has a nice variety and always fills me up and then some.”
“I've been to a lot of middle eastern countries because im half Arab. But I've never had a shawarma like the one I had here... its absolutely crazy!!! So so so good. I had beef shawarma and man its just out of this world!!!”
“our server Raven was amazing! Her manager was also amazing! The food was amazing! I have nothing bad to say about Anthony's”
“Located on the Foss Waterway with a view of the Museum of Glass and just really nice to see. The food was unique and a selection of hot sauce. 2 for early dinner 🍽 good value, and experience 👌”
“Ashley has been absolutely fantastic, she made my first experience in loose wheel very welcoming. I will definitely come back because Ashley made me feel so welcomed.”

“Cozy place with great cocktails and food. Try the charcuterie board and wonderful wine or Negroni! Not to be missed!”
“really enjoyed the outdoor atmosphere and the food was very good with a fair price. our server did a great job!”
“if Kenzie is your server, you'll have the best service around. Its rare nowadays to find a good waitress that actually dererves the tips. She blew both me and my party away with how friendly she was! 10/10. She 100% deserves recognition!”
“Stopped in for a quick bite. We had the vegetable tempora as a starter. Husband had the Phoenix and I had a order of California rolls. Excellent food”
“Last year, We had a going away party at Slahal for 16 people so we were in the party room. The Tomahawk was our goal since we heard about it as we are Prime Rib eaters. We ordered three that night and it was spectacular and delicious too. Saturday, October 18, we ordered the Tomahawk for three people and the shrimp fettuccini. The dinner was awesome and the service OUTSTANDING, server Sarina was a great hostess as she was kind, helpful and a professional waitress. Mahalo Joseph K Ho”
“I would like to express my sincerest appreciation to all who attended and helped make tonight a remarkable and memorable 21st birthday celebration for Tiffany 21 “ONE PIECE “ theme bday party. The outpouring of love and support was truly felt, and she will always cherish this night in her heart. The team at Vibe Dive Lounge, Kelley, and their crew did an outstanding job; their work was exceptional and left me profoundly impressed. The evening was filled with beauty, blessings, and, above all, love from each of you. The ❤️ vibe was definitely 🥰 there from start to end. I highly recommend this spot for any of your events. Birthday 🥳 girl was speechless. She dance the night away, she will forever cherish this memory in her heart💗. 10/10 💯 👍”
“Needs a update on interior. Food is top notch, Ashley upstairs knows her way around the bar* the chef knows his way around the seafood and meats, you'll go for happy hour for the amazing view and come back for every nice occasion you can make a excuse for.
Parking: This view is the best kept secret in Browns Point NE Tacoma
Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible”
“Fun tasting room with great apps makes for an equally great afternoon with some light bites. We ordered the featured flight of wines and they were a perfect complement to our cheese platter and charcuterie board. Picked up a couple of bottles to take home. Great wine and a very good price.
Highly recommend”
“Craving Thai food today, we found that a lot of spots were closed on Mondays, so we decided to try this place. Service was quick from the start—they greeted us right away, brought water, and handed us menus. When I ordered, I asked for no mushrooms on one of the dishes. The soup that came with the meal didn’t have any mushrooms in it (even though my partner’s did), which makes me think the server might have gone out of her way to take them out for me. If so, that was such a thoughtful touch. The food itself was delicious and full of flavor, and the prices were very reasonable.”
“The best staff ever, and super yummy eats! Definitely recommend! 😋”
“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.”
“Great rum bar with an HP Lovecraft tiki theme. I honestly don't even want to share this place with anyone as it feels special enough that I want to keep it all to myself. The drinks are stiff and wonderful. Enjoy the grog and shed a tear for Lord Admiral Nelson in what may be the best bathroom in Tacoma.”
“Doesn't get much better than this place. Best selection in town and a very knowledgeable staff. I have never had a disappointing bottle of wine from Tacoma Wine ”
“Great food! Went for a Birthday dinner :) first time there. Food was amazing, will go again & eat outside when it’s warmer.”
“Had a semiprivate event here and it was great! The space was perfect for our casual/chill event. Brittany was our bartender, and she was super helpful and kind all night.”
“Katie Downs is such a beautiful restaurant for any gathering. It is in the best location, right on the Ruston Waterfront, and the staff here are the absolute nicest. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for a great meal, no matter the occasion.”
“We came to Dirty Oscars for a change of scenery. We live in Puyallup. Food was ok. We got dbl bloody Mary’s, the traditional eggs beni and the elk hash. 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.”
“We went for my birthday and had a great time! Everything was delicious.”
“Awesome food....it's definitely now my to go place and very affordable..and the staff very friendly and their communication and service is 💯💯💯💯💯💯 5502 orchard st w 98467 university place...This Antojos Mexican Grill...the staff here you are great...”
“🔥 Best Korean BBQ Experience – Alegna is a Legend! 🔥
The food here? Incredible. The meats were top-notch, the banchan was perfection, and the whole vibe was amazing. But Alegna? She stole the show. Her energy, skill, and attention to detail made the night unforgettable. She handled everything like a pro—flipping meat, keeping the table stocked, and making us feel like VIPs.
Alegna didn’t just serve us; she elevated the entire experience. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your server, you’re in for a treat. We’ll be back for the food—and for Alegna! 🔥”
“I've been to many sushi places in the Tacoma/Seattle area and Fujiya certainly stands out as one the best. I can really only speak to the nigiri, but it is always fresh, melt in your mouth tender and generous slices of fish. So good! I want to go back just talking about it!”
“Narrows really made our group feel at home for our dad’s night out this month! We made use of their Pacific Taproom and it was perfect for us. The private patio was wonderful for a clear night and is where most of the group spent their evening. The taps were wonderful, as always, and we are looking forward to coming back soon!”
“Omg just had BMK for the 1st time. My burger was so heavenly. Not a crumb left. Great customer service too.”
“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.”
“Eric and Payton made our visit to the Boom Boom Room unforgettable. Not only did I enjoy the best martini I’ve ever had (make sure you take Payton’s recommendation and order the Gunpowder Gin), but the food was delectable. We started with the Formosa Roll and enjoyed the shrimp tacos and steak. The Formosa Roll was savory and spicy, the shrimp were perfectly cooked for the tacos and the steak came with potato spirals that I didn’t know I needed in my life, but absolutely do! A true gem of Tacoma, bravo Eric and team!”
“Loved the food! On our first trip, we had one of the suchi options, Chulichi shrimp, the ceviche trio, and mango margaritas. All of them were excellent, subtly spiced, and simply delicious. Yes, the music was a bit loud but it was manageable and did not prevent discussion at the table. Our waitress Clarita and bus-person David provided excellent recommendations and great service. We will definitely go back and bring more friends this time!”
“Great service from staff and food always is delicious. Big, generous portions too!”
“Great place! Great Happy Hour menu, good drinks & super yummy food 😋.”

“This is always a great night. My wife and I often eat here on date night. The staff are really good about not bothering you while you eat and don't make you feel rushed. We will continue this stop in our date night rotation. You gotta try the egg foo young it's good.”
“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 :)”
“My Daughter ordered the food online and usually it only takes 20 maybe 15 minutes, some reason this time it was close to 30 minutes for her order to get brought out”

“My husband and I have been eating at Nordstrom's Cafe for years. The food is always great and service is usually good. We feel the quality of the food and the clean, updated interior warrants the higher food prices. However, after shopping the Anniversary sale my husband and I went to lunch at Nordstrom's and we both were disappointed that the Cafe is now using paper napkins and not cloth napkins. I know it's not a big deal to some but it feels like another Nordstrom's downgrade. Just like losing the piano player and the customer service center/gift wrap. Remember those beautiful silver boxes with the bows? Or how every clerk walked around the counter to hand you your Nordstrom bag. Those days are gone....we find ourselves shopping there less.....”
“Love this restaurant!! Excellent food, service, atmosphere...staff makes you feel so welcome...feels like you are eating in their beautifully decorated home!!!”
“Thank you JP 😊 I use to come here and feel unwelcomed. Your customer service and welcoming attitude contributes to a different vibe I have not experienced before. It’s a comfortable neighborhood bar that I will continue to visit and tell my friends!!”
“Terry is great and all the smoked meats were Heavenly. The smoked Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese is so freaking good. I barely talked the whole time I ate because I kept wanting to fill my mouth with food. The wings fell right off the bone.”
“Went for the karaoke and was a little let down. It was a good crowd and lots of different music was played but unless you know the karaoke lady good luck getting a second song in. She kept her regulars in rotation. It does get busy on a Saturday night so you're going to wait for a drink. Food was pretty good. It's bar food and for some reason I love bar food. Great mix of people and everyone was respectful.”
“Friendly staff, clean, machines worked. Chuckie was awesome, the hospitality was there.”
“Coming here and seeing a 4.3 is upsetting cause this place deserves more than a 5 star. I’ve been really into burgers for the past 5 years and have tried a lot of spots that get attention but this place beat all of them by an extremely far amount. I got the fatty sow burger and it was genuinely the best burger I’ve ever had in my life by far I mean no burger comes close to as good as this one was. The sliders were amazing to but also I can’t forget about the waffle fries I got to not only did this place have the best burger I’ve ever tried but also the best waffle fries cooked to absolute perfection with the best fry sauce also. I will definitely be coming here more and hope to see this place gets the recognition it deserves. 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”

“Finally got around to trying this place in my neighborhood. We had the thin crust pesto and meat lovers pizzas. Both were excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and the food delivered very quickly. The main dining room has a nice comfortable feel. If you are in Tacoma's North End, I highly recommend it.”
“Very small, super friendly. And you will not believe the Pizza, herd great things. But I opened the box and had doughnuts. I WAS SO WRONG! The first bite WHO! Flavor, So Rich. And the flavor keeps coming!!! You are not going to eat the whole thing Rich! Flavor! You won't believe it!!!”
“Van parked at Browns Point Market during Seahawks game primarily for food service at Latitude 47 which is beer only. Classic Burger deilvered to car within 7 minutes. Burger was very tasty and rivals/surpasses the other area hard facilities. Pricing competitive for quality burger.”
“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 ordered the country fried calamari, crab 🦀 and shrimp 🍤 fettuccini, and moscato. My friend and I shared the banana bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. The calamari was a bit lukewarm but still tasty; the shrimp fettuccini was a heaping serving size and delish; and the dessert and moscato topped off the amazing view of Tacoma, Washington.”
“Please be careful at the Tacoma Melting Pot. We ate there yesterday. The server, Claryssa P., added a 20% tip to our bill, did not tell us, and then gladly accepted a $45 cash tip. She ended up with a $80.18 tip on a $135.88 ticket. To say I am pissed is an understatement.”
“I just wanted to acknowledge bartender Rebeka who always goes out of the way to be kind too everyone and always knows my drink. always flawless, gorgeous, and funny. Also the Lamb burger and ceaser combo is exceptional. Keep it up Coopers! Hiring manager my hats off for the service and food.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Our Favorite Spot on the Trip! We stopped in during a girls' trip and fell in love with the vibe. It's fun, cozy, and full of good energy—the kind of place that makes you want to stay a while. The owners were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel like we were right at home. Every single dish we tried was bursting with flavor—absolutely exquisite. And the drinks? So unique and delicious, you’ll want to try them all. From start to finish, the service was fantastic. This was hands down our favorite place on the trip. If you're in town, do yourself a favor and don’t miss this spot. Sooo good”
“I had such a wonderful time at 15% Board Game Cafe tonight! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome and at home. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and fun. The selection of games was fantastic—over 300 games to choose from…..there was something for everyone. Thank you, 15% Board Game Cafe, for a memorable night out with friends. I can’t wait to come back and try more games soon!”
“The best coffee on 6th! Love the atmosphere and everything about Wily. It's an even better spot if you're a cyclist. Nerdy bike shop and coffee? Yes, please. Did I mention they also have a great selection of beer on draft? Wily does everything well. 5 stars, for sure.”
“Let’s gooo! About time Seoul Bowl comes down south. I had my first bulgogi bowl once when I was in Seattle, after I found out this spot opened up I had to come through.
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.
10/10 highly recommend”
“Stopped here on our way to the movies. I’m vegetarian and didn’t want to spend $18+ on a veggie burger. Well thank goodness I found Bomb Burger. Their burgers are $5-$8 and +$3 for impossible. It was so good!!! Also added the fries with fry sauce. We will definitely be back.”
“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.”
“Two cars waiting on one side. Our car and a 2nd on opposite side waiting. At least 2 baristas working but service was very slow. Cute building, clean around it. It's a drive-through coffee stand. Our coffees and other beverages were excellent though slow arriving.”

“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!”

“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.”
