    18. Gyro Lamb and Beef Platebeef
    Sandy N.

    Great portions! And doesn't skimp out on the beef and lamb. The tzatziki sauce was by far the best I have tasted in the area! Next time I will order a side of sauce to dip my pita bread in!

    So many tasty beverages!

    Omg. Since our Greek place on 6th Ave closed we've been looking for another place. Well, this is IT! I've tried several around the Tacoma area, meh. But this place is so good! Nice staff, clean dining room, AND both Coke and Pepsi products! (Which in spite of popular opinion are NOT interchangeable!) And the food! So fresh and flavorful and delish! The best Greek food I've had in Tacoma.

    You wanna have some fun? Here's the idea, go here, eat, repeat--even better, get the lamb fries (sodelish) and or the lamb gyro and, or, the shawarma instead of the lamb, and guess what? So much fun, because where else are you going to find a place like this in Tacoma? It feels like a cozy, foreign adventure; they sell their own t-shirts, surely they do everything right and they're not trendingly overbearing at the counter *wink wink* ? Perff

    Stepped into Al Bacha for lunch and was already thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of the establishment and how busy it was. With an extensive menu and open seating, it made it an easy place to grab a meal and have a seat. One thing that stood out to me was that everything was made to order and the portion sizes, can easily be family style if need be. The lamb and chicken was well seasoned, hummus tasted as though it was house-made and the fries has a perfect crisp to them. One thing to note and only one this, we definitely needed a knife! Other than that, would be back again to try Greek fries and shawarma burrito. Great addition to Tacoma!

    Extremely delicious! I have passed this place numerous times and today was the first time I stopped, but certainly not the last. I probably will forever order the same thing. Make sure you ask for extra garlic sauce on the side. You'll want to put that on everything!

    Pretty solid Mediterranean food in Tacoma. Portions are large and everything is fresh/ made to order. A lot of different combo meals, salads or sandwiches to choose from. The fries are def better enjoyed there vs take out so they don't get soggy.

    Located in downtown Tacoma. Walking distance from the Tacoma Convention Center. We stopped here for lunch while attending a tournament at the Tacoma Convention Center. Small establishment, but very clean and well maintained. Our first impression was great. The menu is on display; we can choose items and order at the counter. They will serve it on the table once the food is ready. There have been a few customers already dining in or waiting for food when we walked in. We ordered an Al Bacha Falafel, Gyro Chicken and Beef & Lamb sandwich with Fries on the side. Almost 15+ minutes for the food to arrive; but considering the rush it was fast. The presentation of the food was simple but elegant. The portion was decent. Really enjoyed the sandwiches. The falafel sandwich stood out - the falafel was lightly crispy but well cooked - delicious with the sauces in it. The meat sandwiches were also great. The meat was tender and juicy. Really worth the walk that afternoon. Service was great; friendly staffs. Quality food. Enough space to sit, relax and enjoy the food. Great spot!

    I happened to pass this restaurant and had never seen it before! I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did! This will become a go-to when in the office. The food was absolutely delicious. The entree I got was $20 but lasted for both lunch and dinner. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Very impressed!

    I have been to at least 10 different Mediterranean (gyro) places in both Tacoma and Seattle. I have to say, this place gets the gold for me, specifically their gyros. I have been here 3 times now and tried both the chicken and lamb/beef gyros. Not only have they tasted SO good, they've been CONSISTENTLY good, and this makes me want to continue returning! Their meat is so juicy and tender, the marinade is super flavorful; portion is very generous with both meat and veggies; and the presentation is always neat and makes it easy to eat. Have to specifically mention their tzatziki sauce - fresh! Service is always amazing here. The lady at the cashier always makes the visit easy and friendly. What a gem!

    Al Bacha is a newer restaurant that opened in downtown Tacoma. I kept forgetting to go here for a while but finally did remember a few Fridays ago to give it a try. I did a take out order for a lamb gyro and that went pretty well. It wasn't long before my order was ready. The gyro itself was good. Ingredients were fresh and the meat was tasty. It made for a very good lunch. I didn't realize just how much salt was in the gyro though as later on I got thirsty for water and had several glasses of it during work which isn't quite a routine for me. I will make an order here again however but perhaps will try their hummus sometime.

Service is quick and the workers are friendly. Their bánh mì đặc biệt (deluxe sandwich) and the cà phê sửa đá (iced condensed milk coffee) are my typical go-tos. The sandwich has layers of meat and portioned appropriately. The pâté adds a rich umami flavor and the Vietnamese bơ (mayo) gives it a buttery flavor. The veggies are always healthy and seem fresh. Also their jalapeños actually have a kick unlike most places I've been to. I recommend this staple to anyone looking for a solid Vietnamese sandwich in Tacoma. Great place to chill and have coffee to start your day. They have other foods like noodle soups, stews, and a rice plate. I haven't tried any of them, but it might be something I might look into in the future

The first dish that came out was the Cold-Noodle dish, and it was served with hot mustard and vinegar on the side. Our server taught us how to prepare the dish, which is really nice especially for first timers. Their banchan was also good - kimchi and radish kimchi - which are both made in-house. Then our steamed dumplings came, and they were my personal favorite dish of the night. You can tell that they are handmade, and the sauce that went with it was delicious. Finally, the seafood tofu soup was pretty good. My partner loved it, but I think the octopus inside was overcooked. But, I understand that can happen especially since it's served in a hot stone pot. It also came with some clams, an egg, and some zucchini! Just from the layout and design of the restaurant, I could tell that it's an authentic place. The workers take pride in their food, and you can tell with each bite. Would highly recommend for those craving some good Korean dishes.

A LOT of life has happened since then, so we definitely had plenty to catch up on. Neither of us had been to Bloom Thai before, but we both love Thai food, so we decided to give it a try. This place is definitely different from any Thai restaurant I've been to before. It's super small, with only a handful of tables. You order at the counter, grab your number, and find a table. They also have a big jug of cucumber water that was so refreshing! They didn't have my usual yellow chicken curry, so I decided to try something completely different--the drunken noodles. I honestly had no idea what I was ordering, but OH MY GOSH... I was in love with this dish! The flavors were fantastic, and they topped it with deep-fried basil. I'm not even kidding when I say I think I've dreamed about that crispy basil every day since! It was SO good! The food was definitely the star of the show for me, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I think this is such a fun little spot to meet a friend for lunch, especially if you want somewhere casual and different. That said, it is VERY small, so I personally wouldn't choose it for a family dinner with a bunch of picky eaters or rambunctious kids. The menu is also a little different than your typical Thai restaurant, so definitely keep that in mind. For dinner, I'd probably order it to-go and enjoy it at home. But for a girls' lunch or catching up with a friend? Absolutely! Great little find, and I will definitely be back for those drunken noodles and that amazing fried basil!

The husband, who was serving, checked in several times to make sure I had everything I needed. The chef also stopped by my table when she came out of the kitchen, which was such a thoughtful touch. The pork belly was very crispy(an additional fee), but too salty for my taste. The Pad Thai was good, although not the best I've had. The noodles were cooked well, and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. It did not come spicy, but chili sauce was available to add some heat. The spicy omelette tom yum soup had a great balance of mild spice and sourness, and it tasted very authentic. The texture of the fried omelette after soaking in the soup was not my favorite, but that may come down to personal preference. The Thai iced tea had a good balance of tea and condensed milk, although it was sweeter than I prefer. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table afterward. Water is self-service. They also have a helpful sign explaining the ordering and seating process for first-time guests. The restaurant was very clean, nicely decorated, and had a great ambiance. I especially enjoyed the small area showcasing the chef's history and journey. Overall, the warm service and welcoming atmosphere made the experience memorable.

There was a small line outside and we waited patiently for a few minutes. Once inside, we were seated at the counter and it was packed, a little hot and everything smelled delicious. My friend and I both ordered the duck and pork noodle soup and it was maybe the best noodle soup I've ever had. The pork had crispy skin, the duck was soft and flavorful. It was all just so delicious. The iced coffee was strong and sweet. We also got the dessert. Make sure to add durian if they ask. It made it 1000x better if that's even possible.

I really like their broken rice, and the pickled jalapeños with sauce makes the meal feel complete. However, the dining experience has some challenges. The space can get crowded, ventilation isn't great, and seating by the door can be uncomfortable. Service also feels stretched at times, since the same person may be cooking, handling chairs and serving. I'd give it four stars. The food is worth trying, but improvements in seating, airflow, and service would make it a better overall experience.
