“Din Tai Fung is a great place for drinks and yummy food with friends. Always busy, you need a reservation if you want a seat without waiting too long. And don't be late or you will lose it.So many delicious options. The DTF Old Fashioned is very special with an oolong tea syrup. Wood ear mushrooms in vinegar dressing, Shanghai rice cakes, and Xaio Long Bao soup dumplings are standouts. Hot and sour soup is also delicious. Not shown is the fresh orange green iced tea with boba: very refreshing and not too sweet, the flavor of the jasmine green tea shines through highlighted by the orange juice. Highly recommend any of the locations for a fun and delicious meal.PS If you found this review helpful, please heart it. Thank you!“
“Arashi is my go to ramen spot so far in WA. I have tried quite a few places here and I've had ramen in Japan and Hawaii. I would say Arashi is the most on par with the better of ramens I've had. It's my go to spot whether alone or with people for a cold day. The Ballard location is hard to find parking and quite small so I like this location in terms of parking and size. The main con is definitely how pricey it is for noodles. It's at-least around $20 a person but that garlic broth is just the best so far.“
“My go-to pho spot! Food portions are VERY generous especially given the price. I've tried many dishes from here including their pho, fresh spring rolls, fried eggrolls, banh mi, and vermicelli bowl and they are all phenomenal! Staff is very friendly too, which is always a plus.“
“I saw this place circulating on Facebook and YouTube, so I decided to give it a try since I'm in town. The noodles are flat rice noodles made fresh daily in the restaurant, and the broth is very good. My taste detected no MSG. I felt the price is a bit high for Pho.“
“Cute little spot for dinner and drinks. If you ask the waiter, they will be able to suggest some menu options that can be made vegan, but only a few and only 1 entree (at least when I went). I got the vegan Hokkien noodle and it was okay. Very tomato saucy rather than a dry wok tossed noodle. Actually everything advertised as wok tossed (vegan and regular hokkien noodles, broccoli) were very wet. Our table joked that they must have put the food in the wok, but forgot to turn on the fire. I also got the Thai basil clam without pork sausage and it was AMAZING. Super flavorful. I slurped every shell and maybe a bit of the bowl. They also had a vegan coconut tapioca with pandan sorbet and it was unique and very delicious, I was pleasantly surprised by that one! Drinks were interesting sounding, but had that cheap alcohol taste to me or somehow the proportions of ingredients just didn’t end up tasting that good. We ordered 6 drinks and didn’t love any of them.“
“Expect a line because this place seems to be busy every time I pass by. We waited an hour on a Sunday night. Service was a bit slow but their friendliness makes up for it. The food was flavorful and hearty. Would come again.Curry Ramen + Soft Boiled Egg ($15.45) - This was a seasonal product so I’m glad we got to try it. Very flavorful.Classic Rekka Ramen + Soft Boiled Egg ($14.95) - Can’t go wrong with this.Gyoza ($6.75)“
“A very delicious Chinese spicy ramen shop.If you are a serious ramen fan, you will be disappointed here. But if you want to eat a bowl of delicious spicy noodles, this is definitely a good choice. Although the soup of spicy ramen is not full of umami, it really has the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns, which is really good. The barbecued pork noodle soup is also very delicious. Although the signature Malaysian fried chicken is also popular, I personally think it is too salty and drowns out other flavors. Even the spicy noodles have no taste at all.“
“Honestly the most satisfying meal I’ve had in a restaurant in a long time. As a vegetarian with an active lifestyle, eating at restaurants can be unrewarding at times - dishes are often either monotonous or lacking sufficient protein. I was delighted to find that the Nasi Lemak was absolutely stacked with wholesome protein-rich ingredients! The meal had peanuts, egg, tofu and chickpeas, and each was thoughtfully and skillfully prepared. And that was just one of the plant-based menu options on offer.Someone in the kitchen there clearly has direct experience with eating vegetarian - I felt very seen and understood by their menu offerings. The culinary splendor was paired with service that felt like a well-oiled machine, and a lively, upbeat atmosphere. I will be back!Vegetarian options: A must-visit for vegetarians!“
“This is not a regular restaurant. They do Philipino tasting menus and only take online reservations. They open on certain days of the week and serve only two dinner seatings on those nights. The food is interesting and tasty. However, the portion is on the petite side, so if you're hungry going in, you probably won't feel full coming out. The chef and staffs are friendly and very attentive. As the tasting menu goes, it's more about the experience, the stories, the influences, and the inspirations on the food.“
“The best pho in town if you ask me! I am always bummed they don’t have longer hours. There are been so many times I had to settle for other pho restaurants because they were closed.Anytime I can grab a bite here, I do! They will not disappoint.“
