Never had a good experience food wise here. The only saving grace is their tater tots walked by today and saw an eviction notice, to bad I guess.

Given comparisons for the taste + quality + cost + service, I would prefer the hot food bar at the grocery or market.

Lost a regular customer with their price increases. A galos bowl with shrimp is now 20 dollars. Save your money and might as well go to a sit down with those insane prices. Oh, and not to mention they sold me 1 year expired bottled galos sauce. Greedy business and does not check their condiments before selling to consumers. Lost my trust and my business.

Chicken was dry and overcooked. The service was terrible. Two staff working in restaurant and no customers.Woman who took our order was extremely rude and lacked any kind of customer service.Very disheartening experience.

I checked this place out because I was craving chicken and didn't want anything to greasy like fried chicken. So I typed grilled chicken in yelps and this gem popped up, located in the Whole Foods plaza. The places was empty but that didn't steer me away because I love chicken. It's really a great price, you get 6 whole wings not party wings for about $15. I got half lemon & half medium with a small peri fry. The wings have a zesty flavor to them. Next time I will get hot because the medium had no spicy to it at all. The fries were perfectly seasoned not salty at all. And not to mention there was a lady in the kitchen!! Will definitely be back.

I’ve been going since they opened this location. About a month ago they decided to give a big middle finger to loyal customers. They raised prices significantly. They did not give any extra food. In fact I got less this time than my last order before the hike. The ingredients didn’t get any better. So why the hike? My go to shrimp bowl was $12 now it’s $20. Absolutely insane. Lost a customer to greedNot to mention I tried to by their bottle sauce a few months back. I got home and notice it was expired by over a year. Took it back and their whole stock was expired! So clearly little quality control going on…Food tastes fine but it’s not a whole lot quantity wise and with the price hike, I cannot recommend this place

Twice I’ve ordered from them and their food isn’t cooked properly. First time it was raw chicken liver. Second was raw chicken. Makes sense why the place is empty.

Not sure why the reviews are so negative! This place/location was amazing the food was amazing, the proportion was way more than enough, the place was super clean. The clear glasses up front you take for your drinks, not a spot on them & I look & I’m picky. My hubby had enough food for leftovers for lunch tomorrow. My salad had great deal of chicken mixed throughout. The gentleman up front was so kind, knowledgeable, & checked on us throughout our meal. I had the Galos Chicken Salad, hubby had the Galos Chicken Bowl, pic below. This Galos location was located in the Marketplace area in University Place, next to Whole Foods. People please leave good reviews if you have had a good experience to keep business open & flowing. People always seem to share the negative but don’t forget to share the good too!

We stopped in on a very hot (for Tacoma) evening because we didn't want to cook. We ordered the Pairing (for two) with a kale salad and garlic bread (lemon piri) as well as a breast and a wing (medium piri). There appeared to be only two people working, someone at the counter and a cook. We were the only people in the restaurant so the staffing seemed appropriate. The young lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean when we walked in - pretty clear that one of them was keeping up on the cleaning. The food pretty quickly. The garlic was toasted halves of buns exactly as advertised. :-) The kale salad looked great and the chicken was tasty. The piri seasoning is much more evident on the wings than the breast (probably because it's a much thicker piece of meat). The citrus dressing on the kale salad was very good - we all liked it. Galos is a great stop for some grilled chicken and sides.

Meh, to less than meh almost $30 after tip for rice bowls/shrimp and Piri fries.Really thought they would be more to the bowl and just rice and a few shrimp. The bowl pic is how it looked when I opened it. Fries were good. I ordered medium spice, but it was really no spice.Curious about the chicken maybe I’ll be a s***** and try again.
I had a great experience at their Ballard location, both the food and service. So I was really disappointed to bring my partner here thinking it would be the same. The staff was rude the entire transaction and acted as though we were inconveniencing her. Then the food came out. We ordered the trio which has 8 pieces of chicken. Well they give you 6 pieces of back that are mostly bone and two thin drumsticks. The seasoning was nice but not stellar like before. The coleslaw was horrendous. It was literally dry as though they opened the prepackaged shredded coleslaw mix into the bowl they served us and added nothing. The piri fries we also underwhelmingly seasoned. The garlic bread was hamburger ends. Definitely won’t be going to this location ever again.

Overall really just was okay not special food is below average for everything I've tried in this area was still good just really underwhelmingKid-friendliness: They had highchairs but they were very dirtyWheelchair accessibility: Everything is open and is plenty big enough to accommodate a wheelchair or two

The chicken is awesome. The piri sauce is so good I could drink it!

Just had a chicken wrap with med/lemon sauce and it was very tasty. The chicken was cooked perfectly! Spice was perfect for someone who can't handle a lot of spice but still wants a little kick. Which is what I like.I live walking distance and have wanted to try the food. I'm looking forward to eating here again.
