One of my favorite places for a Turkish Breakfast in South King County. I have taken a several of…read moremy friends there and they all liked it as well. The place gets busy with customers and other Turkish families, which is a good sign. You order up at the counter when you walk in, then you pay and they give you a number to take to your table. They will then bring over the food to your table. Don't expect for personalized service/hospitality from the staff. It's cashier style and then drop off food, they they buss the table. Favorite to order are: Menemen, Beef Manti, Chicken Bowl, Avocado Toast, (kids love the mini pancakes), Pide Flatbreads Parking: Parking lot (Store is in a building of apartments/condos)

It's always nice to try something new with food. While visiting Tacoma, I was taken to this Turkish…read morerestaurant which my sister and her husband enjoy a lot. I was always thought all mediterranean restaurants are the same, but this one is a little different for me. Everything has yogurt in it and I'm not too crazy about sour yogurt. The restaurant is in a little shopping center, there are actually quite a few places to park. The restaurant is very nice, clean and airy. It's a self order, and they bring the food to your table. The prices are around $20 a dish. My sister ordered all the dishes, pizza, chicken, wontons, they all looked delicious but the tastes are so different for me. The wontons are not as tasty as Chinese wontons and they're not soft. The chicken is tasty but not very flavorful. The yogurt is very sour and rich. I had some slices of pizza, but nothing to rave about. Anyhow, at least I know what Turkish food is like. This one is supposed to be the best one in Tacoma and my sister family love it. Like they say, it's not my cup of tea.

I especially love their white chocolate mochas; they're always smooth, sweet, and perfectly made. The service is quick, and the staff is friendly and welcoming, making every visit a good one. The inside has such a cozy atmosphere, making it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet coffee break. Definitely a great local coffee spot that I'll keep coming back to!

As for my drink, I did enjoy it however I think an added espresso shot would have made it better. I prefer more bold flavor espresso drinks but I did order an iced cinnamon flavored latte. The drink wasn't watered down it's just the espresso wasn't strong enough for me. The logo and cups are nice and surrounding area outside the store was clean. I appreciate the trash bins available at the drive through.

This place has great breakfast and looks like awesome pastries and has a bunch of people coming to in and out, so you know it was actually very well like spot. You don't need a code to get into the bathrooms at all. They are free access to customers. As well as the place looks very clean and organized. Once you order, you can then pick out a table and sit down and they bring out the drinks and the food to the table. We ordered a bacon avocado Benny and my sister ordered a croissant Benny and we decided to share the Madrid crêpe. Pictures are attached and they look like pieces of art and tasted spectacular. I'm giving four stars due to some of the noise of the blenders and the pounding of something in the kitchen made it very hard to talk at times with my sister. But if there was no super loud noises and I couldn't hear my sister talk from across the table. It would've got five stars all day. Other than that great service great food. I'll definitely highly recommend coming back out and checking out.

This place caught my eye because the pancakes looked incredibly delicious and had great reviews…read more It's conveniently located in an unassuming strip mall on the east hill of Kent. We ordered the chicken fried steak, and sausage, eggs, and toast, and let me tell you, those pancakes were the best! They were golden and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, always smiling and making sure we had everything we needed. The service was a bit slow, but I think it's because there's only one cook and two other staff members who help wait on tables. Despite the wait, the food was plentiful and delicious. I'll definitely be returning, especially for those pancakes!

Son was very friendly. I was also impressed if you knew all the local names and what the regular orders were the food I got came out quick hot. The sun also made sure that my water and my coffee was all full I do need to give a warning their sign out front. It's very small and hard to find so you just gotta trust your GPS. I had to open up this app and look at the photo of the sign to figure out where it was in the plaza. I do plan on going back to this place more often. I also do like that. They have real early hours where they open up at seven in the morning. I think I might even go back and try lunch there one of these days soon because their sandwich menu looked pretty decent.

We stopped by New Local in Kent for a later dinner around 7 PM we usually only come for lunch, so…read morewe wanted to finally see what dinner was like here. I ordered the three tacos, my husband got the Umai Burger, and we added fish tacos plus wings and garlic fries to share. Everything hit the spot! The fish tacos were perfectly battered, and the garlic fries were giving full-on stadium/baseball vibes crispy, garlicky, addicting. Drinks were solid too. The space looks small from the outside, but once you're in, it's actually pretty spacious. The vibe is super fun they host cool evening events like Latin nights and other themed nights, so it's definitely more than just a restaurant. Great food, great energy, and happy hour is worth coming back for. I'm already planning to return soon to finally try their breakfast!

Excellent Mexican restaurant with lots of great options…read more There is a bar section as well as family dining area and outdoor seating. Great space for kids and awesome views of the water. Portion sizes were large and my personal favorite was the seafood chimichanga. Additionally, the chips and guacamole were delicious. Holy Margaritas! The house margaritas was delicious and served in a giant glass. We were visiting from out of town and this was a nice stop on our way to our vacation rental.

I went with the potato salad and it was super good! The bagel was loaded with flavor and everything tasted fresh. The place itself is really cute, clean, chill vibe, relaxing music. The ladies working were so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. They've got an espresso machine for lattes and coffee, plus they serve cocktails and liquor (bonus points!). Lots of outdoor seating too, perfect if you've got your dog with you. Overall, great food, awesome service, and a nice mix of drinks. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Overall pretty decent experience. We arrived at around 10:20am on a Sunday, there was no line, but…read moreabout 10 minutes later there was a really big line so I recommend coming before 10:30! Staff was friendly and attentive. The white chocolate mocha was alright, pretty milky and could use a tad more sweetener (although I'm aware this is subjective). The prime rib sandwich was decent. I don't think I would recommend the garlic cheese bagel though. The garlic on the sides got a little burnt which just made the sandwich taste very bitter, and we could hardly taste anything else unfortunately :( . We also got a side of the soup of the day which was the clam chowder. It came out piping hot which I LOVE. We were impressed by how good it was! We will be back to try a different bagel to see if it can redeem the garlic and cheese one. Also saw they have live music and their drink menu looked pretty good, we will have to try coming for that as well.

I've been here twice and both times I got the Blintzes out of nostalgia. You don't really find…read moreblintzes on menus often, so if I find it on a menu I'll almost always go for it. I really enjoy this spot and it feels like a bakery breakfast spot I used to work at when I was in my early 20s. It's definitely not a trendy spot, but clean and maintained. Both times I went with family and could enjoy a relaxing chat without feeling rushed or urgency to leave since the location isn't super busy. At some point I'll probably try something besides the blintzes, but maybe not since they're really enjoyable.

OVERRATED and POOR OWNERSHIP! Went to enjoy a Sunday brunch with a friend. Ordered a build your own…read morebreakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage and pancakes. Food was brought out with the wrong eggs. No biggie. I politely informed the food runner of the error and he took the entire plate back. not to mention, wasn't even offered water refills. Not once. After about 9-12 mins, I still didn't have my food so I asked. When it was brought out it was extremely cold. when I told the younger waitress, she said, she wasn't sure why she offered me a pastry or to remake my food. I declined both as I did not want to continue waiting even longer since my friend had already finished her food by the time I got my second plate. instead, I asked if a manager was available, which I was told no shortly after my friend and I over here the young waitress talking about me and the food issue to her coworker. Inappropriate, I was given a card and told to call tomorrow for a manager. I called the restaurant the next day around 1 PM and spoke to the owner. Before I could even talk, he told me he already heard what happens and offered me a free pastry. I asked if he would be willing to hear my side of the story, as I was explaining to the story, he would continue to interrupt and over-talk me. He told me it's my word versus their word as far as the coworker talking about me in the corner. His only solution was to offer me a free pastry. I told him I didn't want a free pastry that I wanted him to take notes of the food issue and the inappropriate behavior of his staff talking about their patrons in front of them. The owner continued arguing with me and telling me he's not polite he's a matter of fact, and if I don't like it too bad, there's nothing he could do. I can see why the ratings have gone down since the new ownership. I will not be back. PS- Dont sit in the Russian girls section. Unless you like low end customer service and to be talked about.

Hashbrowns were perfectly browned, eggs were light and fluffy, and the sausage links were perfectly cooked. Great overall experience and I highly recommend Nikki's!

Tried this place on a hot PNW day, 85F. July 18th for dinner at about 5:45 pm…read more It was HOT inside. Too hot. When asked, something about the owners locking the thermostats! A/C reduces the humidity as well. Being sticky and muggy while eating sucks! Change this! We melt in the PNW above 72F! WTHeck? Customers comfort before saving pennies! Install ceiling fans to move the air as well would help. Besides the customer is always right. Get the A/C fixed or UPGRADED. Otherwise the place is nice. The tables and chairs appear to be made from SOLID WOOD! Impressive quality. A good layout that is not loud or echoing. The wait staff was awesome. She was so apologetic about the heat. I felt bad for the workers in that hot environment. Service was prompt and drinks refilled in a timely manner. The order was right. It was a little slow to arrive but there was a large party in the main area, right of the front door. I ordered Teriyaki chicken. Sorry that was NOT TERIYAKI! It was BBQ sauce chicken. LEARN what teriyaki is. Try Dr Yoshida's sauce to marinade it atleast. Once I accepted my expectation of teriyaki was dashed, it was excellent. The chicken was moist and tender. Not like some that are tough old birds. It has a good, not to sweet BBQ, tomato sauce flavor. The dinner salad with it's croutons was great. The Thousand Island was homemade and good. The rice pilaf had real, large, tender chunks of carrots and was delicious. When they did not have white rice with the teriyaki I should have suspected something, yet the pilaf was excellent. The portions are HUGE! Be prepared to take some home or be filled! The pies looked great, but had NO room for them! Darn. A side note, the LOUNGE section WAS COOL like the restaurant should be.
