    Hot Italian grinder and king club.
    Haley C.

    First off upon walking up to the door, the owner came and opened the door for us. Such a bright and vibrant man and lovely to talk to. Easy enough to say.. I'm never going to subway or Jersey mikes etc. these sandwiches hit! And they aren't crazily expensive. Such a good sandwich, I got the Hot Italian Grinder and it's a 10/10. My fiance got a king club and it tastes like my childhood on a hot sunny day at the pool. Loved everything about my experience here and will be back!

    I drive by this place multiple times per week and I was finally able to pull in and try it out! I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. I ordered their breakfast sandwich (breaking my diet..) but I don't regret it for a second! I actually don't remember the last time I enjoyed a sandwich so much! The woman taking my order was so incredibly sweet, I really enjoyed the bit of time we chatted. Very genuine and kind person!

    Cute clean inside

    Yelpers didn't disappoint! Such a cute, clean cafe. Very friendly service. It will make your day! Prices are a bargain, especially breakfast. Tried the breakfast wrap today, delicious & only $5. Get the spicy mayo on the side if you can't handle spice. Will be back to try the sandwiches & soup soon. Check it out near IKEA.

    Italian Grinder w/ frys
    Michael L.

    Ok, so I admit I have been in error for not trying this place sooner!! Finally decided to stop in for a grinder.. Oh man am I glad I did. First off very clean and tidy place with very friendly people. We were behind the lunch crowd so order was quick and easy. The Italian Grinder was awesome to say the least. The bread (roll) was toasty yet freshly soft. The meat and cheese was prepared perfectly, and the "shoestring " frys were fresh and hot,, even the fry sauce was good. All in all it was a VERY filling and deliteful lunch! I can't wait to go back!

    Italian grinder

    This is my go-to lunch spot, I really love the Italian grinder sandwich. It's always the same and delicious. They are quick and the staff is always so nice. I also love their breakfast burritos, the hash brown has the best crunch to it and it's cheesy. Yum! Highly recommend

    Tuna sandwich
    Debra W.

    I Wanted to try a new place for lunch and decided to try this place based on Yelp reviews. I placed my order over the phone and pick up was fast and easy. The employees were very nice and the place was pretty busy. It was also very clean. I was originally going to give 4 stars because it's like a 3.5 for me but I don't really ever seeing myself go back here. The food wasn't so good, that it made me feel like, "yep, I've definitely gotta back". Unfortunately, it just didn't do that for me. The soup beef and veggie soup we ordered, livery had one cube of meat and maybe a couple slivers of celery. It was all broth. The tuna sandwich was thick and a little messy to eat but satisfactory to eat. The Italian grinder had good flavor but mostly bread and little on the meat. The food was hot and definitely fresh though!

    French Special; Egg, Cheese, Bacon, Sausage, French Toast
    Raul A.

    This was the best customer service and great atmosphere, I walked in and there wasn't anyone, but a few minutes later a lot of people showed up everyone was greeted well. The breakfast was delicious and fulfilling the orange juice was great. I could've ordered another plate but I was on a tight schedule. Next time I'm back in town this will be the first place I will come.

    Meat was actually thinner than the cheese.
    Jeff S.

    Horrible tiny dry pastami sandwich. Hardly enought meat to even see. My freind had the French dip. Same thing almost meatless with some watery aujus.

    Italian grinder add turkey
    Savannah I.

    Wowww what a secret spot! the outside lettering and building is nothing like the inside! It looks like they've done a remodel and it's a great vibe. I'd say homey and trendy at the same time. The pictures of this grinder made it look like the bread is overwhelming but it's actually a wonderful texture and balance!! The sandwich smells amazing immediately and I love the flavor!! I also am glad that I added turkey although it was $3 extra . Definitely will be going again!

    Lunch today, yum

    This truly is a hidden gem, it's on a random corner on a plaza consisting of things I would never had a reason to stop in. Good thing there's Yelp, I was around running errands and wanted to try something new and this place seem to get good reviews. You can feel that it's a small mom and pops place, the people that work here were so nice and attentive. I didn't know what to order and they suggested their most popular choice, the grinder! It's a piece of really crispy bread with your selection of meat and special sauce, omg the melted cheese too. I ordered fries too. It's a generous portion as I can only finish half, but yay I have the other half for dinner now. Prices were very affordable, and you can just tell it's run by a very nice family. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

    Jony's Breakfast & Lunch Restaurant - 9/28/25

    Jony's Breakfast & Lunch Restaurant

    $$

    Came here early morning waiting to drop off my grandkids at the airport. This was the only place…read morethat opened at 7:00 am. We were the first customers of the day. The service and food was good. It's casual ambiance. We read some reviews and most of the negative was on how long the wait was for the food to come. They make the food fresh and have signs all throughout the restaurant that states the "wait maybe longer because everything is made to order." So if you don't have the time, I don't recommend, but if you do and need somewhere to eat before getting on a flight, I recommend

    On 9/28/25 Sunday after i picked up my daughter, Kaylah from the SeaTac airport. We were hungry for…read morebreakfast and we located this local restaurant on Yelp. The restaurant is located in a small plaza. Parking lot is small and we were able to park easily. Upon entry, we were greeted and were seated right away. We had a window view which was nice. We enjoyed basking under the sun LOL! For starters, we ordered two coffee, cream and sugar while we browsed the menu. The restaurant was pretty spacious and clean. Not well lit or bright. It appeared that one section (rear) was kind of dark. It was a little odd. After we placed our order. It took approximately 45-50 minutes to receive our food. It was quite long. Sadly, our waitress didn't check in to refill our coffee. My daughter ordered the waffle combo with two sunny side eggs, hash browns and two sausage links $20.99. She enjoyed her food. I had a chance to try her Belgium waffle. It was light, airy and good. For my meal, I ordered the Avocado Florentine with carne asada (up charge $5.99) Total $25.99. It looked really delicious however, it was not. Unfortunately, it was bland. No seasoned and no flavor. I added salt and it still did not taste good. It didn't help. I had only three spoons and stopped eating. This has never happened. I had packed up my leftovers for my husband have at it. When my husband tried it, he stated it was bland. I rarely give bad reviews and rarely have bad tasting breakfast. This one hit that for me. =(

    Papa Banh Bao - Great Picnic with Papabanhbao

    The banh baos they offer here are pricier compared to other Vietnamese delis that also sell them (Q…read moreBakery on MLK is one example) but you can tell they're made fresh and same with the ingredients they have inside each of them! I went here with a bestie on a Saturday afternoon for something quick to eat and came across here. Their parking lot and the overall location is unassuming; you wouldn't expect a place like this to be around what feels like a secluded area. Plus the inside is just the front counter, the menu in big print and some small seating (not for dine-in, though). Bestie and I each got their combo bao, which comes with many ingredients like quail egg, jicama, celery, wooden ears, pork and black pepper. We wanted these heated up, and it took about 10 or so minutes for them to be ready. Bestie did also get a mini bao but asked for it not to be heated so he could eat as a midnight snack. As for the combo bao itself, the whole thing could easily qualify as a meal if you get more than one. Each is about $6 each so they are on the pricier side but it's definitely worth having and it's such a unique addition to the Tukwila area! So much so it almost feels like a hole-in-the-wall or a hidden gem... well it needs more exposure than it has!

    Jersey Mike's Subs

    Jersey Mike's Subs

    (161 reviews)

    $$

    If you're in the Kent area and looking for a sandwich shop that consistently delivers, Jersey…read moreMike's Subs has been my go-to spot for years now--and for good reason. Walking into this location, the interior is clean, simple, and welcoming. It has that classic sandwich shop feel: bright lighting, an open counter where you can watch your sub being made, and a steady but efficient flow of customers. It's not overly fancy, but it doesn't need to be--the focus here is clearly on the food and the experience. The staff keeps things moving smoothly, and there's a sense of familiarity if you've been coming here as long as I have. I actually made the switch from Subway years ago, and I haven't looked back since. What stands out most about Jersey Mike's is the value. You're getting a noticeably larger portion, especially with a "regular" size, which honestly feels more like what other places would call a large. It's filling, satisfying, and worth every dollar. My two staples are the #13 The Original Italian and the #2 Jersey Shore's Favorite--and you truly can't go wrong with either. The #13 is packed with a variety of meats that all complement each other, while the #2 keeps things simple with provolone and ham, letting the quality of the ingredients really shine. That's what I appreciate most: the simplicity. There's nothing overly complicated here--just fresh bread, good meats, crisp toppings, and a balance that works every single time. Everything tastes fresh, at least in my experience, and you can genuinely taste the difference compared to competitors. The bread has the right texture, the ingredients don't feel processed or stale, and the sandwiches are assembled with care. It's that consistency that keeps me coming back. No matter how many times I've ordered from this location over the years, I've never had an issue with quality. That's rare, especially for a chain. At this point, ordering from this Jersey Mike's has become second nature. I know exactly what I'm going to get, and they deliver on that expectation every time. That level of reliability, combined with solid portions and fresh ingredients, makes it an easy choice. I'll absolutely continue ordering from this location--it's one of those places you can depend on when you want something quick, filling, and consistently good.
