“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 food was unique and delicious! I ordered the pan seared salmon and have not had better anywhere else. The owner/chef was authentic and personable. This was my first time there and I will be going back. Please note - you must make reservations in advance.”
“This place is AMAZING! The food is SOOO darn good, every single time. The staff is great, atmosphere is great. Cannot recommend this place ENOUGH!”
“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.”

“Celebrated a birthday date night and first time dining here. Great ambiance with fantastic service. (Thank you Jordan). We called ahead and made reservations. The table was decorated with a long stemmed red rose and a birthday card. Our meal was so delicious! Cocktails, starters, dinner and dessert were pure perfection! Thank you chef(s). That was hands down, one of the best meals we have ever had! We are already mapping out what we are ordering on our next time here! Oh and the box of letters from other patrons at each table…🥹 so precious! THANK YOU!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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”
“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!”

“This is a very trendy and popular breakfast place. There was a line the whole time we dined in so be sure to come early! I tried the agua fresca watermelon drink, avocado toast, and latke hashbrown. The hashbrown was a bit salty but was still super yummy with the dipping sauces. The I had a cheese biscuit as the base to my avocado toast and it was really good! Everyone in my party enjoyed their food. The 70s interior was fun and definitely made for a 21 or older crowd.”
“I have been here many times the soup is amazing! All of them. I thought my favorite was the hunters meatball. Found a new favorite Garlic meatball and greens.. WOW!!
I had been at T.G for hrs sitting with a friend. Needed to eat. I knew this was a cash or check only business. Completely spaced. Saw the sign as soon as I walked in. So I ask the gentlemen (i have seen there many times) where the nearest ATM is?
He says... oh dont worry about it. Let's get you fed and you can come back and pay us later.. This just isn't how our world works anymore. Let alone in Tacoma... Thank you soooo much but I want to get some cash to pay for my lunch. I go down the block grab some cash and head back! Big shout out to Infinite Soups. Not only is the food amazing the people are amazing too!!”

“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“Our server, Tyanna ( embarrassed to say we didn’t look for the spelling of her name) was absolutely a joy. She was pleasant, respectful, courteous, professional and all around great server. We went on Christmas Eve because we wanted a great meal, pleasant atmosphere and feel like we were welcomed and not disappointed that they were taking the time away from their family to make our experience great.”
“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!”

“From the moment you walked in; the vibe was warm and welcoming, very nice experience. Great service and AMAZING food. We will definitely be back 💯”
“How did I wait 6 years since moving to Tacoma to try this gem? Roast duck noodle soup. A drumstick, some thigh and some breast in a perfectly seasoned savory broth and egg noodle with just the right bite. The chives and bock choy are a perfect crunch. It’s hard to eat while smiling this big Don’t plan to come here, do it, do it now. Beats anything I ever had in seattle. Or LA/San Fran for that matter.”

“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.”
“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.”
“Wasn’t expecting too much in the strip mall, but the sign should’ve tipped me off it’s legit. High quality spreads all around, not just your standard falafel. Food’s got character. And can’t not mention the old-school street fighter. Joy stick’s a little unresponsive but can still button mash your way to nostalgia.”
“Open 24 and 7. Good drinks. Great service. Staff which aren't fake. I don't really care about the themed drink names, and they NEVER push me to use their terminology. (I know to much jargon as-is. I don't need more when ordering beverages.) Oh, and no bikinis. I see it as a good thing.”
“This place recently changed and for the better! The service improved. They bring food to the table now. The salsa bar is now active and stocked up. The folks have turned over a new leaf.
I’ve stopped here for a long time because of the food value but they have seriously stepped up their game. Bravo!”
“We started going here regularly since May. The workers are so friendly and funny. They always have a smile even when they are being slammed. The coffee they make is yummy. It’s always consistent in how it is made. One of the few coffee stands that sells white coffee.”
“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!!! 🌯😋❤️😍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Very clean and close to work. The staff was handling a difficult group ahead of me today very calmly. Kudos to them.
I'm basic on my sandwhich fixings but toasted flat bread will always call to me! Thanks for your quick service and patience even when your customers are being challenging!”
“Phenomenal! I haven't fallen in love with a restaurant in a long time. The food was presented beautifully and the flavors were absolutely delicious. Thank you Taia(Tay-yuh,probably didn't spell it correctly) and the chefs for the wonderful experience. A team member even gifted us with the flan for dessert, which was so decadent! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for the serotonin boost. Your establishment left me so happy to have come in.”
“I like to treat myself every once in awhile by eating here. I never get anything but the schnitzel with mushroom gravy, which comes with cucumber salad and German potato salad. I also get the bread pudding. I was a little worried when ownership changed but the three times I have eaten this meal since the change have assured me that the quality is just as good as before. I read a recent review on Yelp the other day that was negative and after reading other reviews by the person who posted it, I am convinced that the person is just unhappy and can't be pleased.”

“Extremely aesthetically beautiful space and lighting. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I ordered an iced herbal tea on a hot sunny day that was served in a cute cup. Everything here is clearly designed with thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Lots of seating for a small space, great both for solo work on a computer or meeting with one to four other people I would say. Lots of natural light coming in through the big windows which is a plus. I’d definitely come back and would love to try their coffee and breakfast sandwiches which looked tasty.
I came here to meet with one other friend at 2pm for about 90minutes and there were only 5 other guests. Parking was easy and lots of spaces. It did not feel crowded.”

“We ordered our wedding cake and 4 dozen assorted cupcakes for our wedding June 6th. From the staff at Corina, to the desserts themselves- ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you’re getting exactly what you have in mind when ordering, and extremely professional! Best bakery around, in my opinion! LOVE this place ❤️”

“Best Crawfish in Tacoma. My Family and I have tried multiple locations around and this is by far the best. This is the only place we return to and recommend. Also Great and friendly Staff!”
“Great atmosphere and an excellent cider selection. The food menu is small, but perfect for snacks and light bites. A great spot to unwind after work — definitely grab a seat by the window for some top-tier people watching. Really enjoyed this place.”

“We got there 8 mins before opening and there was already a line of people out the door. That being said, line still went by fast. Employees were kind and helpful.
I’ve heard some people say that the bagels were tougher than they expected but we had the opposite. Our bagels were the perfect texture and were hot. I ordered the Hot To Go with Rosemary Salt bagel and my husband ordered a Plain Bagel with Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese. Both bagels were insanely good. They do not skimp on the filling.
If we lived in WA this would definitely be a regular spot for us. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back again next time we visit.”
“Went for a quick breakfast the other day. This place is dangerous in the most predictable way. You go in thinking one doughnut, then you see the case, then your self ontrol quietly leaves through a side door. Good selection, fun spot, and definitely the kind of place that makes discipline feel optional, especially if you already live up in Lakeland Hills and have no excuse. Go with a plan or accept your fate.”
“Good service and good food. But when we paid extra $5 for more meat of the Beef Short Ribs, we don't expect extra chicken meat...feeling being lied.
Edited: the owner is right. The option of adding $5 meat was for grilled chicken. I don't mind paying extra for the short ribs next time.”

“Recently moved back home after 10 years living on the east coast. This was, hands down, the BEST sushi I have had since leaving Washington. The food is so fresh! I’m normally a tuna person but the Salmon Ladder was UNBELIEVABLY TASTY. Make sure to squeeze the lemon on top! Miso soup was perfect, and the spicy rainbow was so yummy! Even ordering this for delivery was perfect.”

“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!!!”

“I’ve ordered multiple items from Lulu over the past year and I’ve never ever been disappointed. I went in to try her new cheese and strawberry danishes and omggggg they were mouthwatering deliciousness that I’m sure I world gobble 50 of them in one sitting. I’ve ordered the strawberry flan (my fave), choco flan, peach and strawberry jellos, the Rosca, cookies, cake, and her new cheeses. On top of everything being absolutely scrumptious, I’m always received with the upmost care and friendly attitude. For being a one-woman operated bakery, I am amazed at how clean and wonderful her bakery is and I’m lost for words at what a great company Lulu’s bakery is. I am a loyal customer and can’t wait to see what else is in store”
“10/10 would recommend Spilled Butter Desserts to ANYONE & EVERYONE. We have used SBD for both our wedding and baby shower, and soon our daughter’s first birthday party! Bri has created the most beautiful wedding cake that I could’ve ever imagined. We gave her freedom on design, with our colors, and it turned out amazing. She provided both amazing dessert spreads for both of our events, and they tasted amazing. For our wedding, she even put two desserts of each aside for both my husband and I to enjoy post wedding (at our request), but didn’t with no complaint. She offers delivery services of the desserts on the day of occasion, at a fee, but well worth the fee because it took the stress off of us because wedding days are hectic as is, and she even set up our spreads! I can’t recommend her enough. She is quick with replies, and very professional. She also is just overall the best. She loves what she does, and you can tell. ♥️”
“Prices are similar to other chinese food places in the area. It tasted good and the portions were what to be expected, if not slightly larger, but nothing really stood out. Good customer service and the food came out pretty quick.. I would return if I was in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way.”
“First order: I was really excited. The portions felt on par with what I would expect for the cost, and most importantly, the meals seemed fresh. The flavors were really good and packaged well. As someone who hates leftovers, I really enjoyed my first order. I would have given 4/5 stars.
My second order this week, not so much. (Maybe I ordered the wrong things this week). The breakfast portions were small (I was still hungry afterward), and the quality didn’t feel the same as the week before. The scrambled eggs with asparagus turned the eggs slimy and brown—not the most appealing. Dinners during the second week were decent but included fillers, like what appeared to be canned green beans. More roasted broccoli would have felt better, in my opinion.
So it depends on the week, I guess. I already ordered for next week, so we’ll see. I’ll update my review if the quality improves. I would order again for convenience (I’m currently postpartum, so having premade meals is super helpful!), but for this price point, I would expect the quality to stay consistent or improve.”
“I always get the vegetarian bento box, which has a nice variety and always fills me up and then some.”
“Found this little gem on a Thursday run with my running group. Stopped in afterwards and had the pear, arugula, goat cheese, and hot honey pizza. Wonderful pizza with all ingredients well balanced, albeit a bit messy. 😉 Was told by the bartender afterwards that next time I could add meat ingredients too. So if you want to guild the lily just ask.
The atmosphere was perfect for an intimate couple with soft lighting, quiet music, and dark colors. This would be a perfect cozy date spot (21+ only, so kid free zone). Plus, afterwards, there is gelato next door.”

“The wait time wasn't bad especially knowing the protein was cooked to order. the customer service was nice the person at the counter was kind. amd the food was delicious i had a fish and chicken combo. cost wasn't too expensive about average price for a good meal. I highly recommend DND soul”
“Sat and ate within 30 minutes - lots of flavor and great drinks — will definitely be returning.”
“We were greeted and seated with no reservation. Service and food were impeccable. SJ”
“Overall, pretty good experience. The wait was so-so but there was plenty of seating and AC.
The food above average quality for sushi in Tacoma.
Parking was plentiful (until the new Asian market opens up in 2027 lol)
Would definitely swing by again and try out their other rolls 👌🏽”

“Great music, drinks and food! This is one of our favorite venues.”
“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.”
“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”

Even ordering this for delivery was perfect.”
“Phenomenal food! Cheesy bread twists are definitely a must as well. Best pizza i have ever had and the customer service/attentiveness is top notch definitely 5 ⭐️”
“The BEST food in Washington. Honestly was not expecting it to be as good as it was, if I didn't currently live across the country from them I would be there for all my meals!”
“The Southern Kitchen always makes my Southern heart happy, a must stop when I go into Tacoma. Awesome folks, a fun happy decor, and the best vittles around! Thank you Mrs Gloria! 💛”
“Surprised about how good it was and no one talks about it. Beef tacos were amazingly tender and juicy.
Nice spot on the waterfront. I sure that we'll be back”
“came across this by accident. The place we were intending to go to as closed. We were delighted with our experience. Friendly service, WONDERFUL food. The presentation was beautiful, makes you feel special. Very clean and artfully decorated. I will definitely be back.”
“I took my wife to hops and drops for a surprise birthday party and the service was the best I have ever had! I would like to thank ALL the staff that made her day so special, and a special thanks to our server Amanda!!! absolutely amazing people, drinks and food!! Highly recommend”
“I’m recommending it based solely on service and quality of food. I have not been to this establishment. But I love tacos and plan to soon. I look forward to you serving me.”
“The staff were friendly and attentive. A great atmosphere and I’ll be back”
“Had a great time!
Someone in our group was allergic to gluten and even though the options were limited, Dylan helped us find an option that was safe and checked with the kitchen to make sure there was no cross contamination! Make our night so much better!!”
“Last night we celebrated Bruce's (Mei Ling) graduation from NYU at the Lobster Shop Tacoma with his parents from China. The staff went over the top with service! From the wine sommelier, to the waiter's patience and respectful help with foreign visitors, and manager's kind visit to welcome the family, I couldn't be more impressed. I tried to sneak in a special desert and was told the manager had already taken care of it on the house. Thank you all! What you didn't know is Bruce's mother is an influencer with over a million followers. She took a lot of videos to share.”
“Combination deli and bar with several vegan options. I ordered the vegan reuben to go and was asked which side I wanted. Never having been there before, I asked what my options were. Potato chips or, for a moderate up-charge, a variety of salads or soup. The soup of the day was a vegan gumbo which was an intriguing thought, but was more food than I could handle. I only managed to eat about half the sandwich and put the rest into my tiny hotel fridge. Oh! Served with a pickle spear. Love pickles! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-10”
“Sooooooo good!! Thank you 3uilt for a delicious breakfast and latte today with the perfect atmosphere for catching up with a friend! Excellent service!”
“The food was amazing, the drinks were delicious and the service was wonderful! Can’t wait to go back!”
“Cozy place with great cocktails and food. Try the charcuterie board and wonderful wine or Negroni! Not to be missed!”
“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!”
“RECOMENDADO LA COMIDA MUY RICA ,BUEN SERVICIO ,EL LUGAR MUY BONITO”
“An H.P. Lovecraft themed Tiki Bar! Excellent service, great vibes, and a stellar Eldritch feel to the place. I was as excitable as a pulp noir detective at the Gilman Hotel in Innsmouth itself!”
“Delicious food and wonderful service. Such a beautiful setting too with all the carvings and Buddha statues.”
“I had a great night at Hank’s enjoying the tasty French dip and fresh dinner salad. The roast was heated on the grill with very little fat on the slices. The bread was toasted; crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.”
“First time here and was very happy…
Food was good as well as the service, won’t hesitate to come back again!
Thank you!”
“Food is very Delicious. It was my First time trying Colombian food. I will definitely be coming again , highly recommend to check it out.”
“We were looking for a spot that would let our pup inside, on our way home to Canada from Herron Island. This place is a hole in the wall dive bar with lots of regulars and the best pizza and calzone I've ever had. Service was amazing and she brought our Bruno a pup-cutterie. Don't hesitate to come here for fantastic food and pet friendly service 🐕🦺 ❤”
“WOOOO!!BLINGGGG! Where have you been all our lives?? Hands down the best AYCE KBBQ experience we’ve been to! And trust me, we’ve been to a lot! $48 signature menu with the best cuts and sides. Every meat we ordered was so tasty, flavorful, and very generous portions. We also enjoyed the banchans and the soft tofu spicy soup! This place has quality all around!! Not only is the food good, the entire vibes w L pop music, and the service was outstanding! We had Zach as our main server and he was a vibe! Super helpful, friendly, and taught these rookies how to enjoy meal. Will be back!! The HH $28 M-F) Wildddd.”

“This is my new favorite Thai restaurant, hands down. It's on the pricey side, but totally worth it. So far, I've had the chicken massaman curry, satay skewers, and Thai iced tea - three of my favorite Thai dishes. I'm very excited to try more of their offerings though. They also have one of the biggest menus I've ever seen at a Thai restaurant.”
“This place is such a vibe. Good food, fun drinks, and the service is always on point and friendly.”
“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!”
“Food isn't bad. Best deep fried mushrooms in town. Beer selection could be better. Daily specials. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Has pull tabs.”
“I absolutely adore this spot. I've lived in WA since 2022 and this is only the 2nd time I've absolutely loved creole food here. There were 7 of us. 3 adults, 3 teenagers and a hyper 8yr old. We skipped appetizers so we could have dessert. A few of us had their Chicken and Gumbo. A few of us had Shrimp & Grits....one tried their Oysters Rockefeller. Everyone was content. The portions are perfect and the price point is fair. My favorite part....Andouille sausage. I was blessed enough to get a moment with the chef and he told me all about it. Much appreciated! We tried the beignets, bread pudding and Panna Cotta. 10/10 would enjoy again. Thank you for a great meal. This Nola momma appreciated it so much!”
“This is a wonderful place to explore diverse wines from the US and other countries. The atmosphere is homey and relaxed, yet upscale. The staff are welcoming, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. You can enjoy a delicious flight, or order a glass of one of your favorites. Food items are also available. They also have a vast array of wines for purchase. You're sure to find a special one to take home. Stop by; you won't regret it.”
“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HAPPY HOUR !! I drive all the way from Seattle and it’s just wonderful every time !!!!! 😍😍😍😍😌🤩🤩🤩✅✅✅”
“We were looking for a spot to eat outdoors with our pups and a couple of friends and happened on this gem. Delicious sandwiches, ginger beer and craft cocktails! We'll be back!”
“Went to WildFin last night for the first time to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It was arguably the BEST service we’ve experienced at a restaurant! It was very busy, peak hours, with a Christmas boat parade on the water going on and our server, Kendra, was incredible! She was kind, personable, attentive, efficient, and knowledgeable on the menu. And that was just the cherry on top. The food was delicious, great portions, and left us feeling satisfied. Such a great experience! We’ll definitely be back.”
“Kura is always a fun experience! The revolving sushi makes trying different rolls and small plates easy, and everything we had was fresh and tasty. The touchscreen ordering system is simple to use, and the service was quick and friendly.
The best part is the interactive experience. Watching the plates go by, trying new things, and earning prizes by returning your plates makes dinner a little more fun than your average sushi spot.
The atmosphere can get a little busy and loud, especially during peak hours, but that’s part of the energy of the place. If you’re looking for good sushi at a reasonable price and a fun dining experience, Kura is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back!”
“Great Sunday brunch! Breakfast cocktails and food were great today!”
“our server Raven was amazing! Her manager was also amazing! The food was amazing! I have nothing bad to say about Anthony's”
“I ordered Chicken Scampi. It's supposed to come with Angel Hair pasta in a white sauce. Instead it came with spaghetti pasta in a light brown sauce. It didn't taste the same as the original or look that good.”
“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”
“Not much I the way of food but definitely great service and wonderful lovely people who are good at pool. Only one table so write your name on the board and Get into the action!”
“Great food and amazing friendly service!! we came for breakfast and we'll be back for lunch!”
“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!”
“This restaurant is in Tacoma's middle class area on Pacific Ave. We were a little apprehensive because of the aesthetics, but as we went in, a nice Lady leaving told us they had great food. They cleaned up a window table for us. Then brought us a I-pad to order, they want you to scan in there menu, I declined and received the I-pad. We saw reviews commenting on there Peking Duck and Chow fun Beef. We went for the Duck, Pork Hot & Sour Soup, House Special Fried Rice has shrimp and pork, the fresh Egg Rolls stuffed full of Shrimp were unbeatable. The Duck came with white flat pastry rolls with a nice tangy sauce and veggies, very good. Everything was cooked perfectly with special authentic style and taste. The Jasmine tea was wonderful. Forget the Color choices, we will be coming back for the five star food and service. Have fun and Enjoy. Pat & Therese”
“This was absolutely the best brunch and service we've had in month. Nothing against the other restaurants I've reviewed. The peaches and cream French toast was not overly sweet but the nutmeg and clove I tasted was perfection. The Brussels sprouts with the balsamic vinegar (which was perfectly sweet/savory) great breakfast option. Our second course we had was quiche and eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was a step above any other I've tried. The quiche flavors were extremely balanced and blended perfectly. We finished we a cappuccino which comes with a rock sugar stick to sweeten lightly and vanilla latte. Matched the food in perfection. Camron was our server. Kind, respectful, attentive and not bothersome at all. Chef Kayleigh Bronner is talented. More than talented. Her food is passionate and excuted with precision. It will age well to say she's underrated and the next top rated chef in Tacoma.
Let me not forget the cheddar grits tipped with white cheddar. Amazing.”
“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...”
“Delicious food along with super friendly and attentive staff definitely need to visit during the day next time to see more views definitely recommend it if you're in the area”
“This was my first time going to the loose wheel. The atmosphere is perfect with the pool tables in the background. The food was excellent and in large portions. And the service by Ashley B was outstanding! Will recommend all my friends and will definitely be back.”
“A few weeks ago, we celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Woven. The view was amazing, the atmosphere was gorgeous, the service was incredible, and the food was not only fresh and delicious but also affordable. Given the restaurant's prime location on Ruston Way, I had expected the prices to be much higher.
While we were celebrating, Woven pleasantly surprised us with sparkling apple cider to toast the birthday girl, along with a piece of delicious chocolate cake. We found our entire experience at Woven incredibly delightful, and I highly recommend that you plan a visit. The Brussels sprouts were delicious, the salmon was cooked to perfection, the pork ribs were fantastic, and the spicy tuna roll may have ruined us for any other tuna rolls!”

“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!!!”

“Absolutely loved our stay at the Elks Temple. The parking wasn't as complicated or limited as we imagined it would be. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The decor, bars, and restaurants were fantastic! The breakfast was especially good. We don't normally eat at the same place twice on a trip and once we had the breakfast once, we were already ready to come back. Definitely a great place to stay in Tacoma.”
“You might not know this place existed if you just walked by the old Elk Lodge but hidden in the darkness of the basement is an amazing atmospheric tiki bar with great cocktail, good food, fab music and an all round intoxicating atmosphere.
Good vegetarian options available. And don’t miss the shop on the way out for take home tiki merch. 🐥💛”
“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.”
“This is a very trendy and popular breakfast place. There was a line the whole time we dined in so be sure to come early! I tried the agua fresca watermelon drink, avocado toast, and latke hashbrown. The hashbrown was a bit salty but was still super yummy with the dipping sauces. The I had a cheese biscuit as the base to my avocado toast and it was really good! Everyone in my party enjoyed their food. The 70s interior was fun and definitely made for a 21 or older crowd.”

“From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt so welcoming and warm! We tried their rotating savory meal, the chili and cornbread, and it was honestly the best chili I ever had! The cornbread complimented it so well! 🔥! We tried a few different desserts and everything was SO good! Highly recommend!”
“I would highly recommend checking out the 15% board game Café. My friends and I enjoy monthly board game meet ups here and the staff are super knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to teach you a new game. Not to mention they have lots of scrumptious snacks, and drinks. Also they support local artists and provide a safe space to have fun!”
“Cool little dive bar. I have been twice, once for trivia and another time it was karaoke. I didn't sing but a lot of people did and that was pretty fun. Trivia was a lot of fun too even though I came in last.🤷♀ Everyone was really nice, food was good, I don't drink so can't judge drinks but it was a cool spot, if go again.”
“If you're a fan of spicy food or just looking for a great chicken spot, Dave's Hot Chicken is worth a visit. It's a straightforward concept executed exceptionally well, making it a standout in the crowded fast-casual market. Just be sure to know your spice tolerance before ordering!”
“Cute vibes and lots of seating. Working in the neighborhood and stopped here to get a break from the heat. Drinks are priced really really well and absolutely delicious! Staff are also kind and welcoming.
From families to people working on their computers this space is welcoming to people looking for a short stop or a longer visit. Plus there’s extra parking to the north!
Absolutely suggest coming by.”
“Incredible customer service, I came in just to see what they have and they had something hot in the warmer I asked what it was and they said it was a canceled door dash order, I was on my lunch and asked if I could buy it
The lady at the front confirmed if that was okay with the gentleman in the back and he Insisted that she just gift it to me. I fully expected to pay for it. I am so grateful and will definitely be back. Thank you. I will pay it forward !”
