This was my first time trying El Pollo Loco! People always talked about how good it is, so I…read morefinally decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the first Uber Eats driver never delivered my order and apparently took the food instead. When I called the restaurant, the employees explained that they had already handed the order to the driver. Uber then contacted the store, and they kindly remade my meal and had it delivered. The employee I spoke with on the phone was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout the whole situation. Huge shoutout to her for providing such excellent customer service! As for the food, I really enjoyed it! Everything arrived hot, fresh, and tasted wholesome. I tried the strawberry and mango lime juices--they were good, although not very sweet or flavorful. I'm guessing that's because they're made with less sugar. They also included a complimentary flan to make up for all the confusion, which was a very thoughtful gesture. Thank you!

I come here every so often for a quick and affordable bite to eat. The first time I went I got a…read morebowl which I did not enjoy. The bowl was so bland and needed seasoning. Even the salsas did not help with the blandness. Now I usually get the 2 piece chicken meals. The bone in chicken has way more seasoning than the chicken they chop up & put into the bowls! Way more tasty. I've tried a few sides and the main sides I get is corn with flour tortillas. Now for the sides I don't like. The mac & cheese is terrible - tastes just like the type you would find in the Safeway or grocery store deli except with way more fake cheese. The mashed potatoes are meh - reminds me of kfc but worse. The rice is instant rice so there's that. I hope they change their rice to actual Mexican style rice one day. The churros are good! The service is friendly when there are actual adults there (weekdays during traditional work hours). On the weekends you'll likely be served by friendly Gen Z'ers (or younger) who are friendly to you but are goofing off and cursing with other fellow Gen Z'ers in between serving customers. Sigh.

Two things to consider tho: it's boneless and the sauce comes on the side. The good: the boneless is SO JUICY (don't think Buffalo wild wing boneless!) The fries were GOOOD fries. Sweet potato fries were too healthy tasting. The staff were great!! They were friendly and thorough. The meh: -Pickled radish is NOT free. -Not a lot of seating (2 tables of 4 and 5-6 single seats a little too close together). This place is definitely more of a take out restaurant. Would go again!

Ambiance is korean pocha/late night bar setting and they are open until 2am! There's limited seating during their busy hours so definitely come earlier if you can. Lots of parking outside. Everytime I visit here, I ALWAYS get the creamy bulgolgi udon. This dish is super unique and I've never seen it elsewhere. The sauce is so flavorful and pairs perfectly with the bouncy/chewy udon and well marinated bulgolgi. The pork belly kimchi udon is good as well if you like a spicy kick. We also ordered the half and half fried chicken (original and yangnyeom) and it was perfectly crispy and juicy on the inside! My friend enjoyed the spicy seafood stir fry which paired well with a bottle of soju but they also have lots of other drinks (nonalcoholic) to choose from! after a long night out or just for a casual lunch/dinner-- definitely a go to spot for me.

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.

Serious Soul is a take out and cater only restaurant. The restaurant is a one person show and the…read moreowner has operated with this model for some time. The owner is delightful and engages you in conversation as she packs the food . The restaurant is showing its age, but remains one of the remaining soul food restaurants in South King County in Washington. I had the fried catfish, chicken, and fries. The thing about soul food is that it all about the seasonings. Now, I prefer the cornmeal/flour coating over batter; the owner does this well. The catfish was well seasoned and the fish was tender. This is the fine line between frying it until it's as dry as the desert or perfection as was done here. The same was for the chicken wings. Light coating, crunchy, and seasoned well. Now her cornbread is good, but she should throw her fires in the trash. They are overcooked and just a let down to an otherwise nice lunch experience. Since she only does take out or cater, the place looks more like a place of storage than a restaurant. It is quiet with mini refrigerators displaying desserts and soda. Surprisingly, the owner does not serve shrimp. A bit of a surprise and I would quickly get them for lunch if they were prepared as well as the catfish. I would rate higher, and keep in mind the the prices are higher than you would expect but happy to pay again if she smoothes out some of the edges of her space and sides that accompany such wonderful catfish and chicken.

It's family-owned and operated, and you can truly feel that sense of legacy and love the moment you walk in. The food is absolutely amazing. My husband and I were visiting Washington for the weekend and ended up eating here twice--that's how good it is. The first time, we had the catfish nuggets, fried shrimp, and fried pork chops with collard greens, mac & cheese, and candied yams. Every single bite was on point. The second time, we made it just in time for the oxtail stew--and it was fire. You can genuinely taste the soul in the food. This place is something special. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

I'm not a burger person but my husband really wanted burgers, and with the pretty good reviews I thought it couldn't go wrong. Well my husband really disliked his burger. And he's a total burger fan. Normally you can go wrong with a classic burger , but he said it was tasteless, and overcooked. I gave a two star because at least I can tolerate the wings and I chose the Korean bbq sauce flavor. It was doused in sauce, and overcooked not juicy at all. Like I said I tolerated it, but my husband couldn't stand them, that we still have half an order sitting in our fridge. I do t like giving new local businesses poor ratings so I gave a 2 instead on a 1. But with so many good dining locations around here, I'm not sure I can spend over 30.00 for burger and wings again.
