“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!“

The security staff is awesome, I don’t remember his name but he has grey hair and about 6’2. He has a great personality and makes sure people don’t act up. Only thing that isn’t great is the parking, very limited.“

“🔥 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! 🔥“

“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!“

“It feels like a special occasion the moment we walk in the door. The staff is excellent and service is spectacular. Everything fits seamlessly here, from decor to dessert cart... the experience is so much fun. Then there's the food & beverages... unrivaled is the best way to put it. Small bites, salads, full course meals, and anything we could think of from the bar. Champagne is the specialty, and after a conversation with Makaila (the bar tender) she chose the perfect bottle. Oh, getting a bottle of Champagne there is a treat too... trust me, just do it. The wine list is impressive, and the espresso flight is something I'm still telling all my friends about. We've gone with friends several times, and everybody has enjoyed every part of the experience. Check their calendar, some fun stuff happens there. Or better yet, just go there and ask the staff what rhe next few events are while sipping your Champagne!“
