Cons: The line formation was confusing to get in. Some people were paying at the front, in line or just lingering to get seated. Didn’t help that the hostess were there but they were closed.The food was mediocre. Ordered the Asian cuisine $50 for 2. The hot mustard for the bbq pork was spicy and cleared my sinus, Mongolian beef was super tender and the rest of the items were meh. It’s open 24/7 so would be a good place to dine at in the middle of the nightThe place was clean and the service was great. Olivia was our server and she did an excellent job. She was on top of water/coke refills, was friendly/attentive but not overly in your space. 5 star for her 3 for everything else.

When we first sat down we noticed that both our water glasses were dirty and had chunks on them. Pushed those off to the side and asked for clean glasses. The next two glasses that came out were also dirty (these we didn't mention and just pushed them off to the side. My wife goes to order and Our server interrupts her saying "hold on while I go get something". He then proceeds to serve 4 other tables. Finally he comes back to take our order. My wife orders a glass of wine....which also is served with a dirty glass. Food was okay. Not bad...but nothing special. The fried rice had shrimp shells which is kinda weird since the shells were from a normal side shrimp and the rice has the small salad shrimp. Overall, we will not be coming back.

I was there on Thursday, for breakfast. I ordered eggs Benedict. It was the worst eggs Benedict that I ever had. The English muffin wasn't toasted first, the piece of ham or whatever it was was shaved paper thin, and I mean thin. The eggs were okay but the sauce was runny, not thick like it should be. The hash browns that came with it were perfect. And I paid $20 for that. It would have been great if the eggs benedict were good. And you wouldn't even have known there was meat under the eggs except for the color.

We had a reservation at 5:45pm and we arrived at 5:40pm. The gal up front told us we needed to come back at 5:45pm even through there were plenty of seats open to have us seated and they weren't busy. There was probably a reason for it but it was a little annoying. Outside of that, food and service was good.

This a regular place for me. I have enjoyed th steak and salmon numerous times. Shrimm0 Cocktail and chowder is wonderful. Took my elderly father to dinner on Wednesday l. My was good but the pacing of food was way to fast. My dad had fish and chips that were raw. The waitress did not offer anything until giving us the bill. This not ok. Very disappointed. I had salmon on Thursday which was wonderful.

My only negative comment pertains to noise. Our table was in front of the door to the kitchen and the service people going in and coming out would speak loudly so that someone coming the other way would not run into them. I certainly understand why that's necessary buy maybe a light of some sort would be better.

Started very good, with a very friendly wait person who was attentive to our needs. Disappointed with the cocktails from the bar that were weak and it seemed they didn't know how to make a simple old fashioned or margarite. Manager also helped when the kitchen screwed up the signature meal of the day. We are open to giving them another try, though I can't say when with so much good competition around Tacoma.

Absolute disgrace. Came her thinking it would be well worth it for lunch with my wife and mother inlaw and that was a mistake. First off our waitress was okay not great but not horrible at least she was on top of the waters but not the beers. I ordered chicken chow mein, my noodles were a mix of burnt rock hard, under cooked rock hard and a couple decent ones, my chicken tastes like salt water and bok choy, baby corn was hard and it was no more than a handful of food not even a plate for $15. Then my wife did some pork chow mein thing noodles were same and her pork was over cooked hard and bland as well for $15 Then my mother inlaw got a shrimp cocktail that should have been a shrimp cup salad lol with only 5 pieces of shrimp for like $12 that's a joke and then a small bowl of clam chowder that barely had any clams and bland for $8. Never again I feel bad for anyone who actually spends there money to eat here. Worst experience I have had at any restaurant in a long time and for that price never again.

The staff here is always so nice and treat you like family. Even the handsome manager Adam. He's always busting his hump helping the staff or wherever he's needed. I'm 30 plus years in this industry so I know pros when I see them. Thanks Adam!

The food, service, and ambiance were all great. We had a reservation before a show/concert and the staff were very diligent regarding keeping our food coming out to assure we would make it in time.

Food was very good! We ordered the Casino special "Chinese food" Service was very slow and water had no sense of Ergency.drinks we're watered down and took over 15-20 to get.Ovet all it's was a good dinner and good environment if your looking for a place to eat and have a couple cocktails this isn't the place
