Only one experience with Minder's but the customer service and quality was very good…read more Ordered an approx 80 lb pig for a pig roast at our house. Placed order over the phone, requested pig be butterflied and the head left on. No issues at all - extra charge for butterflying was identified upfront and the butcher verified that it had been properly cut when it arrived to the Retail location. Important to note that if you're ordering a whole hog - call it in about a week and a half early so that they can get the order in. I was on my way to pick up the pig with about an hour to spare the day before it was to be cooked and I received a call just making sure I was on my way. :-) It was nice to see that they were ensuring that I didn't forget about my pig. The butcher helped me load it into the car and provided extra cardboard so that my car wouldn't get bloody. The pig was very well prepared and tasted great! highly recommend Minder's. They also do other smaller cuts and beef. Locally owned - great company. Will definitely be doing business with them again.

The problem was that the bags were right behind an incorrect sign on the refrigeration case. I hadn't bought Kaffir lime leaves in years, the last time they were packaged dried in the bag.

This was my favorite Asian grocery in Kitsap county and the only one I shopped at. But last week…read morewhile picking up some fried chili crisp, the bottle was stacked so tightly in-between a row of two other products, I accidentally knocked a jar over. And in a move to save the jar I quickly moved my basket under the falling jar to catch it to stop it from breaking in the floor. Unfortunately, the quick motion of my basket caused a bottle of banana ketchup to be knocked off a lower shelf and break in the floor. Upon, checkout I was made to pay for the bottle that broke. Okay, I get it you're a small business and every penny counts, and I average over $100 of my grocery budget there every month. But from a customer service standpoint to make me pay for accidentally knocking a bottle to the floor? Sure you saved $2.69. But once again from a customer service pov, did you save $2.69 OR did you LOSE over $1200 a year in patronage, because I'm never coming back. There's other Asian groceries in the area that I can get all the same things I get at your store.

I spent $17 on two pastries ($6.50 each) and coffee and sat on the little bench outside smelling the sea air wafting in and listening to gull calls and sunning myself. First bite of the twice-baked almond-chocolate croissant - I was impressed by the moist sweet almond interior and the quality of the chocolate used. The exterior was not as "flaky" as I presumed croissants to be it was more like a Mexican crumbly pastry. Just outrageously decadent! Secondly, I had the rhubarb danish with exquisite lamination and layering of pastry. The rhubarb filling was perfectly balanced between tart and sweet, an absolute knockout. The Stumptown coffee was a dark relief as a foil for the rich pastries. This bakery is a GEM!

The other reviewers are right. This Korean market hands down has the best store made kimchi, ever…read more I lived in Korea and Los Angeles so trust me on this. No MSG or any powdered garlic/onion but real stuffs. Go make the best kimchi tacos or kimchi fried rice. All of his side dishes are homemade, too, and delicious. Guilt free as well. The store might seem small but they carry all the basics for Korean and many other Asian cooking. Lots of Korean snacks, too! He brings different produces each time I go, so it's always fun to go there. The owner is super sweet and friendly. He sometimes tells you what the freshest/hottest items he just brought in the store are but never pushes you to buy anything. He was even concerned the bill came out too high last time I was there going a little crazy lol For Korean items especially, this store has the best price among all other Asian markets in the area. If you don't find something that you want, call him on Thursday/Friday. He will find it and bring it when he goes out to Tacoma to his suppliers. I can't wait to get another jar of his kimchi!

And to me, the price is too high for the food to just be "fine." The mocktails are always delicious, and one time they made me a Pimm's cup. I've also sipped a few of my family's cocktails and they're quite good. The best thing I had was a vegan sloppy Joe with chickpeas a few years ago. The vegan Caesar salad is good. They seem to have a housemade veggie burger on the menu year round, but it's on a brioche bun so if you want to get it vegan it just comes without a bun... I had it once with the bun and even then I found it pretty dry and underwhelming, especially for the price. ($18 with a pickle and a handful of their thick fries [the fries are tasty and vegan]). We went yesterday and I got a squash appetizer without the crème fresh, and half the squash was undercooked (like so hard I couldn't put a fork through it). I told the server and they comped the dish, but even the part that was edible wasn't that great, so I didn't really want a replacement. My sister likes the steak, she's had it twice and the steak is cooked well, the sauce is good, but the carrots have been undercooked both times. She agrees that the drinks are better than the food. She also says the desserts are good. My mom thought the crab cakes were delicious, her Brussels sprouts were not undercooked. The people who work there are lovely, and it's a good vibe, but it might just be a drinks & desserts spot for me.

Service was fine. He was working hard. Kinda felt bad for him. Caesar was ok... overdressed and a little pasty. Mains took a while, maybe 25 minutes. Had a wagyu patty and it was a flavorless hokey puck -- super overcooked and dry. Mashed potatoes were good but barely warm, veg was overcooked and very salty. No two bite check. Never got the side sauce requested. Needed protein so ate the meat. Let our server know it wasn't great but insisted on no discount -- we ate it so we're happy to pay for it. Had a whiskey soda and it was $12. Fine but would have felt better at $10. Might have a drink there but will never eat the food again.

Once we passed through the door though, everything changed and we were transported into another dimension! A Mexican dimension! We were greeted with genuine hospitality and friendly smile, invited to sit wherever we wanted and immediately given menus and chips and salsa. The place is very clean and colorful with great music playing at the perfect level. We ordered the pork belly appetizer and each got an order of birria tacos. The pork belly was a large portion and good just wish it was sauced or seasoned rather than the honey and hot sauce, but it was rendered perfectly. The birria tacos were some of the best we've had, actually the second best ever! There was plenty of cheese, the consume was rich and packed with flavor and the meat literally melted in our mouth. They were piping hot and stayed hot the entire meal. We'll definitely be back, I'd love to try so many more things on the menu!

There's…read morenothing uniquely different about any restaurant's street tacos as far as the basics of the meat, the cilantro-onion mix, the lime and the choice of salsas. So what makes the difference for me?Is if the meat is moist and tender and not dried out and and if the customer's service is good. Both of those criteria were met for me here. So, when I'm in the neighborhood on a Tuesday or Thursday, and have time to stop in or am hungry, I would do the taco special again. I like deals and I like tasty food.
