What an absolutely amazing experience at Puyalapabs Cafe inside Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma! My husband and I stopped in for dinner before seeing Jo Koy, and it was the perfect way to start our date night. A very special thank you to Vikki, who took such wonderful care of us! She was incredibly professional, sweet, attentive, and accommodating from start to finish. She made sure our drinks were always filled, checked in on us throughout our meal, and made sure our food came...read full review
I have a seafood allergy, not the only one in the world!' I like to have fries with my meals, but since you cannot fry items separately, I am limited as to what I can order. Businesses like yours should be able to have multiple fryers!!

Puyalapabs Cafe offers a pleasant dining experience with friendly service and tasty food. The waitstaff, including Kim and Alexandria, are known for their good customer service, friendly attitude, and knowledge of the menu. Guests enjoy dishes such as the Top sirloin and prawn special, which are described as perfectly cooked. The EQC cut prime rib is also a highlight, cooked just right and served with sides like potatoes and soup or salad, offering good value. Warm sourdough rolls are provided, adding to the meal. The cafe has a diverse menu, including an Asian selection, with orange chicken and calamari being favorites. Some visitors noted that the prime rib and prawns wrapped in bacon are excellent, while scallops can be overcooked. Although the French onion soup may lack flavor and stuffed mushrooms are less satisfying, the overall food quality remains good. While the waitstaff can be busy and not always check on guests, the staff's effort and the welcoming atmosphere ensure a memorable visit.
Recent reviews highlight that the food and experience at Puyalapabs Cafe continue to impress. Guests praised the salad, shrimp cocktail, and salmon, calling the food "absolutely delicious" and "incredible." The atmosphere is described as very welcoming, and many recommend dining there again soon. The restaurant is a quiet, quick place for a sit-down dinner, with friendly service and good advice from the staff. Customers especially enjoyed seafood dishes and suggest making reservations as the place can get busy fast. Some reviews mention that despite its higher-end appearance, the restaurant has some missteps, such as bar service issues and inconsistencies with certain dishes like war shu gai, which can be marred by tendons and missing ingredients. However, the staff, especially the servers, are often praised for their empathy, speed, and accuracy. Overall, many find Puyalapabs Cafe a good spot for a reliable meal, though some may prefer other local options like Silk Thai Cafe for better food, atmosphere, and value.
