**Review for Ono Kitchen and Bar**…read more Ono Kitchen and Bar is a fantastic spot that offers Latin dance lessons on Thursday nights from 7:30 to 10:30 PM--highly recommended for anyone looking to learn some new moves! The watermelon and crispy pork belly starter was to die for: juicy and perfectly fried, truly heaven in your mouth. The kalua pork tacos were decent; the bao bun was perfectly fluffy like a cloud, but they were a bit greasy, making them slightly soggy. However, the flavor was still great. Our server answered our many questions about drinks and food. Overall, I recommend Ono Kitchen and Bar, especially for the dance lessons and for grabbing a few drinks and bites afterward.

My favorite of the evening was the prawn cocktail--this isn't your typical tiny shrimp soaking in red sauce in a fluted ice cream Sunday glass. Noooooooo. Fat gorgeous and juicy prawns laid down on swirls of very delicious sauce, served with a little side of arugula. Not to be too under-prawned, I also ordered the prawn farro salad. This, too, was a lovely preparation. I didn't enjoy it as much as I found the dressing on the farro a bit sweet for my taste--but I can change it up to an aioli or mignonette or something other upon request which will be perfect. The wonderful Gillian invented two n/a mocktails for me: a watermelon, basil spritz that was delightfully refreshing and an n/a Piña Colada--as they were out of pineapple juice, she substituted orange juice which I actually liked even better! Wonderful break in my day.

*** This review is ONLY for their fried chicken in the deli ***…read more Being a health nut, I've eaten a LOT of fried chicken. (Just kidding... I'm not really a health nut) I've had chicken from every store's deli in Bellingham... repeatedly. I consider myself a bit of an expert on fried chicken. Consequently after many hours and bones of analysis I declare Winco's fried chicken the Best Of The City. When it's fresh from the fryer, it is unbeatable. The breading is fresh, light, tasty and cooked perfectly. The chicken has a crispy outside and moist inside. Perfect! As an added bonus, they put it out early, often by 9:00 am. Now I ask, who doesn't like fried chicken for breakfast? Wonderful. Try it. You can thank me and lick your fingers later.

No longer. By the time I get my cold food home it will not be anything but a pile of bacteria. Here's a newsflash, Winco: you can't stay in business until you begin taking money efficiently from customers. I think you're gonna need to pay those 19 employees you have stocking and emptying the trucks...But you're gonna have to SELL that stuff that was on the trucks, and you're not gonna be selling it to anymore. I can't risk my life getting my food home after it has thawed and has poison. Your low prices don't mean anything if I can't check out in a timely fashion. You're bringing it in, and you're putting it on the shelves, but you aren't taking money efficiently. That's just plain stupid. THIS IS N O T how to run a business.

A very nice meal for the wife and myself on a chilly October evening. For the Mrs, the spicy beef donburi, and for myself the garlic tonkatsu ramen. Upon entry we were greeted by an automated, robotic Japanese greeting which was truly authentic. It really brought us back to our days in Nippon, where each restaurant greeted us with a smile and a call. First confusing experience of the night... do the donburi come with rice? On the menu, the portions are magnified in such a way that makes the rice invisible underneath to mountains of proteins. We foolishly asked the waiter who kindly informed us that the restaurant assumes the customer knows that the average bellinghamster knows that donburi means rice bowl. Consider us a part of the club only after this meal. Food was very excellent and served in large portions, so the wife has some for her lunch tomorrow. There are so many positives about our experience I will only mention the deductions. -3pts music needs improvement... (sounded like imagine dragons??.... AJR??) -5 points for what looked to be an AI font flyer on the wall -1pt for disposable water cup too small. Otherwise, +100pts for great food and kind service. Perhaps another date night will see us here in the future... once I am feeling nostalgic for my days in Japan again. Price reasonable. Not bad to get a dinner date under $50 in this economy ha.

It's a fun, large market, with a lot to choose from in the heart of Bellingham. The Bellingham Farmers Market occurs on Saturdays, so when I visited, I made my way over there an hour after it opened, and it was already packed! People get here early for the market even in the rain! I was impressed to see the large crowds with the wet weather, but it didn't stop us, Washingtonians. It really reminded me of a community event that many of the locals spend time at on their Saturday mornings - love that. The market takes place in downtown Bellingham, and has an outdoor area, along with a large indoor space where the market staff have a booth, selling their merchandise. It's also a dog-friendly market, so expect to see a lot of furry friends. There was live music, plenty of vendors of all specialties, and was next to a seating area where people could enjoy their market eats. I had a fun time, checking out all the vendors and supporting the local economy. I would happily be back to the Bellingham Farmers Market when in the area.
