“Great customer service day or night and the food always fresh”

“Great bagels and a restaurant that has its own unique voice and is not afraid to show it! Service was friendly and fun and the food was delicious.

Only bummer was that they are so good and so popular that they were packed at 10am on a Thursday! Come with a plan for a short wait and maybe to enjoy your food on the go or wait a bit until there are spots available. I promise, it will be worth it.”

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant, hands down. The food is simply the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried a lot of Thai cuisine. The warm, homey atmosphere adds to the experience, making it truly top-tier. While seating is limited, don’t let that steer you away—this place is absolutely worth a visit.”

“Took my soup loving teenager today for a little me time. So good dude. I had tortellini chicken soup and he had tomato Gorgonzola. Pricing was very reasonable. You can taste the passion that goes into this, the texture/consistency was rather runny for what I expected but packed SOOOO much flavor. Literally best soup we’ve ever had. We both loved the vibe as well. Stop in, pick up a cup, and sit by the beach with a loved one for a great lunch/dinner. You won’t regret it!”

“I got the tonkatsu ramen and it was delicious. The pork belly was thick, tender and savory. The broth was rich and flavorful. Best ramen I've had in Tacoma.”

“Great for any gelato connoisseur!!! If you enjoyed the gelato experience in Italy, you can get a taste of it here in downtown Tacoma!”

“Been following Buddy’s on IG for awhile now and I decided once Cheddar Bay biscuit waffle was back i was making the nearly 2 hour drive to try it.... and OMGosh I am so happy I did!!!! got OG chicken with it as I am Casper white (aka can't handle spice 🤣😂🤣) along with a half lemonade and half sweet tea with mango and peach it was so refreshing and helped me with the car ride home!!! I personally will be back to try other waffles and more chicken and fries is a must!!!!”

“Had a great time and they accommodated our vegan diets !”

“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.”

“This restaurant has quickly become my go-to spot for fried rice in town! I’ve visited twice and tried several dishes, including pork lumpia, pineapple fried rice, crab fried rice, basil fried rice, and Penang curry with tofu. The lumpia is fresh and delicious, with a generous portion perfect for sharing. The fried rice is outstanding, reminding me of the Asian-style fried rice I crave, with the crab fried rice standing out as the best in terms of portion size, price, and flavor. The Penang curry is simple yet enjoyable.

For convenience, I recommend ordering about 20 minutes ahead and using their own website for pickup, as it avoids the steep markup on delivery platforms and often comes with larger portions. The service is excellent—they even bring the food directly to your car if you're waiting. Overall, a fantastic spot for delicious, high-quality fried rice!. Not a usual spot for convenient dine in.”

“Really enjoyed our lunch here. Sushi was very fresh and tasty. The service was excellent and we look forward to returning.

Kid-friendliness: The employees were very kind and welcoming to our 2 year old while we enjoyed a meal.”

“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.”

“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 had such a great experience at Carl’s Jr! Jose A, Cody and Jose G provided amazing service — they were friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend”

“Got the cardigan latte & it did not disappoint! So delicious. Also grabbed the new jalapeño bacon wrap & was pretty good aswell! Perfect place to come and work/study. Love the plants everywhere 😍”

“Great tiny little coffee place. I love the little shop, and the coffee was excellent”

“My Tio Franky treated me on 5/29/24 after visiting my Mommy's grave which is Mountain View cemetery. The restaurant is located at the Center Street Plaza.

The restaurant is not very big. Interior is clean. Tv screen available with Korean drama show running. The service is quick and efficient.

We both ordered the short ribs which comes with rice, salad and japchae $18.00. We also ordered a side of japchae noodles $9.00 plus bulgogi $3.00 and a side of kimchi $2.00. I got hot tea. My Tio got coke. The food is flavorful and delicious!! The portions are generous. I definitely plan on returning when back in this area.”

“Went here for the first time. The knights feast sandwich has got to be one the best things I have ever eaten in my entire life. The pork paired AMAZINGLY with the apples and other flavors. The biscuit was perfect. Buttery, flaky, slightly chewy, and holds together. The latke hashbrowns are also perfectly crispy and and seasoned. How can hashbrowns have so much flavor? Perfect score.”

“Extremely yummy tacos, I’m so happy this place is in my neighborhood now”

“Everything was exceptional! Wonderful restaurant”

“Top-notch customer service and great tasting food—can’t go wrong here!! Also, spacious restaurant, great location, & affordable. My family’s favorite for Asian dining. 🥰 Totally recommend. 🍲🥢”

“I recently visited Al Bacha #2 in Tacoma, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home the moment we walked in. The staff genuinely cares about their guests, and it shows in every detail.

Now, let’s talk about the food — absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, fresh, and authentic, with generous portions that left us fully satisfied. The plates was packed with well-seasoned meat, perfectly cooked, and fluffy rice, complemented by smooth, flavorful hummus and a fresh salad topped with feta. Each bite was better than the last.

Overall, Al Bacha #2 offers a amazing taste of Mediterranean cuisine with top-notch service to match. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!”

“First time trying Indian food and OMG... delicious!! Their coconut curry chicken, yum! Their lentil soup, yum!! The naan bread... delicious. We'll be back!”

“First time in. Went with the Turkey Cran sandwich. It's a winner! Take my money and keep the food and drink coming!”

“I went to the drive-through. You can't order until you get to the window, so if there is a line you spend a lot of time waiting to order. The menu shows all the fancy drinks, have to search for regular coffee.”

“Their cakes are beautiful and taste amazing!”

“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!”

“I had a steak and my husband had the crawfish boil. The prawns were huge. The salad was crispy and fresh. The steak was perfect. The server was attentive. We will definitely be going back. Thank you!”

“Went today for the first time and idk if it was a mistake because it’s the best coffee I’ve had!! and I cannot drive everyday here for my coffee because it’s a bit too far from me 😂. Totally recommend it and an extra plus because they have the nicest people!”

“I LOVE Parkway! My GRANDPA loved Parkway! I've been going there off and on for 15 years as I've come home to visit and it's always a solid place to go. Some nights are rowdy and some are quiet but the servers are always stellar; Nicholas is a GEM!”
