We've had their fresh poke several times and our favorites are the spicy ahi and traditional ahi, and their mac salad is similar to what you can get in Hawaii. Chirashi bowl has a great selection of maguro, salmon, hamachi, shrimp, and egg, all over sushi rice. There's a great selection of fish and we appreciated them cleaning and scaling our branzino that came out delicious on the grill. Prices may be a little higher than other markets, but you can definitely tell you're getting top quality. No seating available to enjoy your chirashi or poke bowls, but plenty of parking. This place can get busy on the weekends so suggest you go early to get the best picks!

One of my first meals after moving here was a poke bowl from this spot!

This is already on my place to go treat myself for my upcoming birthday. I'm now totally addicted to their salmon dip. The pricing is reasonable (please don't change), which is fantastic, and the staff I've encountered have all been very kind.

I had been dying to try a seafood boil and was excited to finally do it!…read more The parking is chaos. It is in a little strip between Costco and Home Depot and all the parking kind of melds in to one. Be aware of the time of day/week you go. I had never been to a seafood boil place and did not feel like this was beginner friendly. We asked for suggestions and really felt like we were on our own to order. We planned to order separately, but once we saw that my meal was going to be close to $100, decided to share. It was enough food for two people, but definitely check market prices before you get excited because some seafood are $40+ per lb. The experience itself was fun! We loved getting to make a mess. There was no direction on where to put shrimp tails and other trash and we felt bad putting them on the table, so this was a little funky. The food was great! We left full and happy.

We opted for the combo 3 with atomic sauce. The mild is pretty spicy and medium is spicy ! On a personal note- I found the sauce to be a bit too much on garlic and that the meat wasn't flavored (which makes me think what was the whole point of the bag). We really enjoyed the crab and I think I liked the sausages more . Also tried the beef short ribs which was a good quantity and shareable for two and comes with rice and salad. Ambiance is not bad. You have to place your order at the table, pay first and then the order will be brought to your table.

Wow! I don't give out too many five stars, but this place deserves it. From the ambiance, to the…read morefood, to the service, everything was top notch. Started off with some VERY crispy wings, topped with fried shallots and garlic, could use a stronger flavor on the wing itself, but goes great with the sweet chili sauce and "secret" plum sauce, squeeze that lemon on there too! Thai Tea was as good as it gets. I got the green curry with Chicken, vegatables tasted so clean and fresh with clean chunks of sliced chicken breast. The curry itself was so rich, aromatic and savory. I also got the Cashew Chicken wok stir fry, love the subtle wok flavor with the mildy sweet and umami/soy flavor of the sauce. The veggies with a nice crisp and chicken goes perfect. They do spice level 1-5 and I chose 3, perfect amount of spice, not overpowering and you still get the nice kick! The service was great, my server was very attentive, helpful with the menu, and friendly. The lady at the register is so nice and was explaining to me some of the popular dishes. You can tell these two love what they do. Some of the better Thai food I've had, hearty, clean and flavorful, I WILL BE BACK! Ps: ask for the spices, and add it to everything, so bomb.

The plate was a little on the smaller side, and the veggies were not quite as flavorful but overall, I enjoyed the dish!

I love everything; perhaps the octopus could be cooked a little longer to tenderize more. I love the crunchiness from it, and the crunchiness from the black mushroom too. Maybe the chef can find a way to achieve just enough tenderness while still being crunchy, which would be perfect. Another thing, my bowl looks burned on the edges. Kudos to all staff! I have noticed that they always work together seamlessly as a team. They communicate and clean the tables together in an efficient manner. Please keep up the great work!

They can accommodate big groups, as they had 2 different large groups at the same time, but those took up a lot of tables because the restaurant isn't that spacious. The combos are a good option if you have people to share with and/or multiple people are hungry. The portions are enough for more than one meal, and the prices reflect that. We ordered boiled dumplings and the friends combo A with jajung, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk (M). The bowls of jajung and jjamppong are huge, but I didn't notice any meat in the jajung. The jajung was basically noodles, brown sauce, and onions. It was tasty, but disappointing that it looked and tasted vegetarian. The jjamppong was tasty because it was garlicky and slightly spicy. I was surprised to see the boiled dumplings were basically tiny wontons in clear broth. They need to update their menu description because I was expecting dry and regular sized dumplings. The tangsuyuk was very crispy, and I'm glad they served the goopy sauce separately.

I rarely write reviews at all, but I feel compelled because of my consistently negative experiences with the staff here. On multiple occasions, I've tried my luck at being seated without a reservation, and each time--no exaggeration--the person at the host stand is not warm, not hospitable, and in fact the opposite. Almost aggressive that I should deign to enter without a reservation! If you're lucky enough to be seated without one--unscathed by the psychic damage inflicted by the disgruntled host or hostess--the food truly is fantastic. Your server may still be impatient with your questions or your attempts at casual joking. Great food at a reasonable price, but the staff's attitude is consistently sour. They act like they're all miserably overworked or something. What is going on, Bar Dojo?

Newer Chinese skewers spot in a prime location, near the Lynnwood City Center and Alderwood Mall…read more Good amount of parking, shared with WuJu Korean BBQ next door. Washroom available. Waitlist is available inside, though their tablet is a bit slow. Some of the better skewers in the area, plus other Chinese dishes. Pleased with most skewers we got, but the lamb and chicken skin were favorites. Delicious Beef Skewers - I think these fall to the bottom of my list. The beef was a bit firm and tough, unlike the other tender meats. Flavor was fine alongside the spices, but texture felt overcooked like well done steak. Cumin Lamb Skewers - these arrived with the beef and tasted similar in flavor, but were much more tender. Fell off the skewer, easier to bite, and balanced the cumin spice with the salty, savory lamb. Grilled Pork Belly Skewers - a very classic, fatty pork belly. Spices and flavors dissolve into the fat, melt in your mouth, and and enlighten the taste buds. Pair with a less fatty protein and there's solid balance between bites. Delicious Chicken Skewers - while chicken can be firmer and dry, yakitori is extremely popular in Japan for a reason. When done well, chicken skewers are simple, yet juicy and flavorful. These ones weren't extraordinary, but had larger pieces of meat on a larger skewer which I can't complain about. Crispy Chicken Skin Skewers - we love chicken skin. Crispy, fatty, savory, salty, umami, and everything else. In particular, the texture on chicken skin always hits and you cannot go wrong here. Grilled Cauliflower Skewers - my friends had a cauliflower skewer before and were traumatized, yet took the risk to order these. They noted how these were so much better. Honestly the cauliflower had a bit of oil plus seasoning that stuck to the oil, so each piece was pretty flavorful and tasty. Foil Grilled Enoki Mushrooms - we wanted to add some vegetables and enoki mushrooms sounded good. Don't be fooled, they stack enoki mushrooms on top of some noodles, so it's not all mushroom. However, noodles are good and a nice pairing with other items. Not that spicy at all, despite the deep red color. Oolong Milk Tea - no sugar or ice adjustments, just a typical powdered milk tea. Too sweet for me, but I guess it works as dessert. Obviously there are better options, but this was really refreshing when paired with the salty and spicy flavors. Milk always helps cool down the heat after all.

Both the fish and tots were super crispy, just how I like them. The slaw had a nice tang, and the house-made tartar sauce was on point. Overall, I was impressed with the food--just wasn't expecting the longer wait.
