Great food truck serving fusion indian food. I finally got to try Akashic after so many trips in…read moreOlympia. We ordered the indian burger - vada pav (highly recommend & delicious), chicken rice bowl (tasty), chicken bombay roll (indian burrito with chicken - nice flavors and huge) along with their gun powder fries (amazing). While I liked all their dishes their chicken bombay roll had way too much rice but had good flavors. It was tasty just a little too much of rice imo. I reduced a star for 2 reasons - 1. This place isnt cheap 2. They change their food truck location which is okay but their online order via Uber Eats does not work. Atleast when I was trying for 2 days it said the food truck is not available while they actually were in operation. They would not answer their phone call and we had to locate their food truck to place our bulk order for a large group. Hence reduced the star. All in all I would order back from here but hope they figure out why Uber Eats or Postmates or delivery.com were unable to process any online order even when they were around changing locations in Olympia. Dont have the bandwidth to chase them on the streets of Olympia tbh.

We love Vans! Their…read moreshakes and onion rings are my personal favorite I'd eat 5 orders of onions rings on a solo mission, for science of course.... Burgers and fries are also excellent. I love that they will do an order of partial fries and onion rings so you get the best of both worlds. It's a lot of food for a good price and the people who work there are always awesome. 10/10 summer time favorite!!

*Our family lives near Big Toms so my review is really a comparison…read more I've always heard of Vans but never tried it until the other week. The food was fine, I liked their fry sauce, and on the day I went the line wasn't long. However I found the portions to be a bit small for the price and there was an error checking me out (which only I caught) where I had to be refunded and recharged. For how out of the way Vans is for our family I don't think we'll be frequent customers but I'm glad we got to try it.

We were able to get just the amount we wanted and packed along with a bag of ice for the road. Very local, friendly vibes. My mom lives in the area and has purchased their crab cakes before for us, soooo good! They had a small pantry of dried/canned goods for sale in addition to the fresh seafood case. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. Great souvenirs!

Love the flavor profiles of the arugula, aioli, w/ the layers of protein & veg. Best quality sandwich in town, hands down. Took away some homemade soups and sausage for dinner, and everything was outstanding, Rich hearty soups- the split pea and also the lentil had great flavor. I grilled up some peppers and onions to go with the sweet Italian sausage, and that was really good as well. I will be getting my Thanksgiving bird from them. The owner Brian, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and even gave me some local recs. They have a good selection of cheeses and also some high quality dry goods as well. I came to get sandwiches, but I'll be back to stock up on much more. Super stoked I found this place.

It did not disappoint! I tried the Norma sandwich which was delicious. The tofu skin patty was unlike any other faux chicken I've had and so good! And because I'm always on the search for great vegan mac and cheese I had that as my side. Absolutely delicious! Very creamy. Portions are large here so I brought some of the mac home and am looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow. My husband tried the dip sandwich with a side of the mashed potatoes and gravy and ate every last bit. He loved it. It's a very cute cafe on the corner with friendly staff. I witnessed a man in need come in and take advantage of the program they have where you can buy a meal for a hungry person to come in in the future and have a free meal. That's a lovely service to the community. So glad I was able to finally patronize this great vegan business! I'll try to come back soon!

After the…read morefirst bite I was immediately overrun by the taste of chemicals.( You are supposed to use food handler's gloves, NOT medical gloves as they are nitrile and neoprene and that seeps into the food.) I returned to the booth and handed the food back to the woman at the register and informed her of the issue. As I asked for a refund she promptly rolled her eyes, turned around and ignored me. I received no refund. I am on disability and this was to be the ONE time I could enjoy a bit of a splurge for food as it was to be a summer holiday treat. Worst $20 I have ever spent.

Pros: Chill lounge/sitting area at the front corner with sofas, a low bar (accessibility friendly) and board games. Big tables to accommodate groups and various bar seating. Large brewery menu screens with large range and the food looked good. Tbh we came for brews so can't comment on food. The Wildman Beer brand was so-so. Some better than others! Cons: FOH staff interaction. Why we love pubs/breweries is because of the chill, friendly, conversational flow of FOH; their knowledge of the beers and/or cocktails, their passion for sharing it with new customers so they come back again and again ... this vibe fell short at Wildman. TL;DR Good for a basic group of people looking for a brewery experience in town with room for large groups. Not for those who are expecting an awesome brewery experience -- a la PDX, DEN, PHX, ATX or SEA.

But when I saw that they opened up a location in Olympia and Steve and I were going to Olympia for a show it made perfect sense to go to this new location. Downtown where our show was is super walkable and this brewery is right there. When we went in what escaped my attention at the Raymond location was that I was particularly impressed with their own mead selection. And the mead did not disappoint in the slightest. The first mead I had was their Oak Aged Classic Mead. Such fantastic balance in body and the oak flavor was truly impressive! I got another mead from the list, the Sneaky Bastard Meer. It's called meer I believe due to the five different kinds of hops they put into it. Great floral and honey flavored highlights! Our experience here was excellent! Steve enjoyed his drink selections as well! Definitely returning for more mead enjoyment!
