The butternut squash was quite good and I'd get it again. The chicken club came with ranch on the side which I appreciated. The chicken in the sandwich were pieces and I would have preferred a single piece. It was a little hard to eat with chicken falling out. We also had a chicken sunshine wrap that was good, not great. Overall would probably come back if we are in town again.

It was late in the day, but there were still several good veggies along with a vegan pasta salad on the salad bar. I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner. Second week, I arrived a couple of hours earlier. No vegan pasta salad, alas, but lots of veggies still. I saw a slice of vegan chocolate cake and indulged. It was very good!

First off, four solid stars for the fried chicken wings…read more My Washington family enjoys the fried chicken here, so we came for early dinner (17:30ish). There were three types of wings that we ordered, but the only one I had was the honey garlic. The wings itself are a really good size, good crispiness, and decent flavor. You could miss this spot if you don't know that there is a stairway that goes down a level (hence the name Underground??)) Once you get down there, you get the vibe of a bar (on the low light side, but bright enough to see and enjoy your food, drink, and company). It does give karaoke bar vibe. The service was just ok. I had questions about the rice cake dishes which are basically teokkbokki, but I'm not sure why they don't put that on the menu. The person who took our order was fine but non descriptive with the dishes. The creamy rice cake looked like penne Alfredo upon coming out. The taste was fine, but since it wasn't described for me, I truly didn't know what was in it other than heavy cream (because that's what I was told). Other than the four star chicken, it was fine. Three stars.

This place is truly a hidden gem (well worth the 30 minute drive)…read more It's one of the only places that feels like it cares about their customers. The quality and portions are fantastic. They've got big shareable platters and seriously high quality food compared to everywhere else that's been slashing quality and raising prices. I heard ownership changed hands for the first time in 30 years as of two weeks ago and truth be told, I'm terrified that there might be changes coming..

We walked in and got seated fairly quickly in the bar area; the place was packed with people watching football and enjoying a nice Monday night dinner. The service was fast and we quickly looked through the menu before deciding to get the AYCE rockfish + Chowder combo. They came extremely hot, I thought I could take a bite and instantly regretted it, but the flavors were great! I forgot to take a picture of the chowder but wow it was quite delicious. We ended up doing 3 rounds and were stuffed; don't forget they also have a great selection of beer as well! There were so many items on the menu; I'll definitely be back to try some more items!

UPDATE: 3/24/26... As a Yelp Elite member for 6 years, I…read morepride myself in giving fair reviews, whether good or bad. And with the bad, I strive to be positive on the experience that was good before giving suggestions or letting the owner know what fell short. I'm never out to bash a business. Rather, as an owner, if you pride yourself in customer service, you will take what a sincere Yelp Elite reviewer has to say, step back and see how you can improve. I just read the comments another reviewer posted a few days ago and saw that they were berated as well. I had nothing to gain from giving the review I did and it's unfortunate that you're no longer going to be in business, but there were two other people with me that came to this consensus. With that, I will reply to the unfortunate remarks slammed at me, the reviewer. Let me preface by saying I asked for a pic with the owner before tea service started. If it was said that we had a wonderful and lovely time, it was not by me but one of my friends who, when asked how everything was, couldn't think of anything else to say. Also, I wasn't going to express all of this in front of the owner at the time because I had others with me. So, to rebel and ask me if my mother is still alive and did she teach me to behave like this? Well, all I can say is your reaponse as a business owner is extremely childish and unprofessional. I didn't make the food. I reviewed it and if that means it's not the best review, so be it. It pains me not to give a business owner a good review because that's not what we as Elite members strive for. That said, lashing out is not the answer. At least I have the maturity and diplomacy to put these comments in without getting into a mud fight like you chose to do. Review..... My two girlfriends and I came here for afternoon tea. Since I'm the Yelp reviewer, I asked them for their input and so it was a consensus of the three of us. Here's what went right. It was nice to have a carafe of water at our table, there were beautiful flowers and dyed water to match in the vase, the teacups and saucers were very pretty, the owner was extremely nice. Here's what we thought needed a second look. The sign in the store advertised cheese and fruit for the afternoon tea but it didn't appear. When we asked we were told it didn't come with it but we could get some if we wanted. Please revise the sign as people do notice. Suggest you have a selection of three sandwiches rather than two of each. One was a small croissant filled with egg salad and if we hadn't been told that we thought it might be chicken. The other was a cucumber sandwich which although it's nice to have thin slices of cucumber, these were razor thin. Sort of disappointing that there was so little on a beautiful piece of bread. They scones were nothing special. Perhaps have something inside whether it be cranberry, currant etc. The sweets consisted of a Mexican wedding cake which was rather dry and was there a detection of almond extract? The orange macaron, as beautiful as it was, lacked flavor of orange. I was expecting a nice burst of something but it just wasn't there. The fondant on the petit four was much too thick, and sweet. Whatever fashion the raspberry is used, keep a bit of that tart flavor to offset the sweetness from the fondant. The effort was there, things just felt short.

It had bulgogi, egg, carrots and was pretty big! This was so plentiful and filling. I ended up eating the other half after a hike and it was still good. Service was excellent! I highly recommend.

Service this time was a bit for more confused. Our server came back a couple times to double check what we had ordered. And when it was time to pay our checks, items got mixed up.

What a wonderful dining experience! The owners were in the middle of closing when we got there…read more(there were still 30 min of open service but it had been a slow day so they were going to close early). Normally I wouldn't try to go to a place less than an hour before close, but my brother who had been visiting from AZ had heard from a mutual (who was originally from S Seattle area) of his back in AZ that this place was super good and this was our only chance to go during his visit. The owners were so sweet and let us come in, gave us a seat that would be nice for my baby to sit and relax, and they even gave her a little toy at the end of our meal. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed our time. I would love to come back again as it's pretty close to home. The restaurant is a little dimly lit which I actually liked a lot as it gives it a little more of an intimate atmosphere.

Ok, do you like simple Korean food? Do you like to not have to travel to Lakewood or Federal Way…read morefor Korean food? Do you also not like to look at overwhelming menu because the traditional Korean restaurants would have 3-4 pages of menu, which entails food items that typical Americans would not think about eating? Well, I'd say you're in the right place for visiting Iron Pot! Fun fact: the restaurant interior looked like a bar in the former life. I will be frank: I was doubtful about this place at first because I honestly thought the place was gonna be some Americanized Korean restaurant with little portions served and what not. However, I was actually impressed with the whole menu, the service, and the food! My friend and I were seated quickly because we entered right before lunch rush hour. After that, we were given menus and ordered our food shortly. I was caught by surprise when I saw the Banchan dishes were actually decently looking good! Next, my friend ordered Kalbi Beef rice plate, and I had to order the Bibimbap bowl. Everything tasted perfect! We really enjoyed our experience lots. 10/10 will come back to try more dishes.

Some of the best hospitality you will ever have at any restaurant in the Greater Seattle Area…read more This is the sister location of their Renton restaurant, Sansonina, which I was a patron of several years for until I moved to Burien. When I heard that this place was here, I was THRILLED! Everything on the menu is the exact same, and some of the waiters from the other location are here too! The space is even bigger than the one in Renton, and they really outdid themselves with the new decor and ambiance. You can tell this is a place that truly cares about their customers and takes pride in the work they do. I'm so grateful they moved down here also, and I'm never disappointed by anything on the menu!
