    What a cool concept! This is a board game bar/restaurant where you can try out games with your friends and then if you like them you can buy them and take them home. They had a ton of games to choose from which were organized very well and the staff was super knowledgeable about all of them. They brought food and drinks right to our table which was big enough to also do gameplay on. We tried a new game which we ended up loving. This would be a super fun place for a birthday party for your gaming friends!

    Disappointing Seasonal Cheesecake
    Kait D.

    I'm so disappointed that the cheesecake they served came without the fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries that were advertised on the menu. The berries were the whole reason I ordered the cheesecake and I think it was messed up for Mox to serve it to me without telling me first that they didn't have the fresh fruit to go with it. If I had known they were out of the fruit, I wouldn't have ordered the cheesecake in the first place. To make matters worse the server wasn't even apologetic until I specifically asked about the missing fruit. The cheesecake cost more than everything else I ordered put together so it was frustrating to receive something that I didn't even want to eat. Thankfully the other people sitting at my table enjoyed the cheesecake because I didn't take more than one bite. I ordered the side Caesar salad and appreciated that there was a small portion offered on the menu. I loved my iced oat milk mocha. It was creamy and tasted deliciously flavourful. The staff at the front were really nice and my friends and I had a great time trying out new games and hanging out. I wish Mox served french fries, I was really craving them and wish they were on the menu.

    This is genuinely one of my favorite spots in Seattle because there's a mix of board games, community and food! There is everything from a tournament room to a family/children's section so I feel like it's very versatile and the games are free to rent. The food is also worth checking out because you might end up spending way longer here than you expect. I tried the pretzels for $14 and overall it was worth it. They have some other things. I would like to try like mac & cheese and tater tots but it is a really nice ambience and the employees are genuinely so friendly and give great suggestions. Unfortunately, my only con is that parking is so hard to find, because the spots in front and access to the buildings all are always filled.

    Vegetables & hummus plate and soft pretzels & queso
    Vivien L.

    5 stars for the unique experience and 3 for food. My group of 5 came in on a Sunday afternoon and waited 10 minutes to be seated. The food menu is odd and all over the place with no theme. There's Vietnamese, Thai, and Mediterranean all in one menu. My group and I ordered soft pretzels & queso and vegetable & hummus plate to snack on as we played games. The shareables we ordered were alright and I wouldn't come back solely for the food. The vibes are fun with all the game options! We played 2 games over a ~75-90 minute period. Few places like these exist, and I will be back for the games and vibes. Food here is just a plus.

    great place to burn a couple of hrs in seattle. we had so much fun playing board games on a rainy day. they have nearly everything this is THE place to get board games.

    Whoever came up with the idea of a board game cafe/bar/hangout is a genius. Mox has leveled up the concept by creating an absolutely lovely environment to hang out, drink coffee, eat food, and try games. I've been to a few of these bars before, and I've got to hand it to Mox - they surpassed my previous experiences and expectations! If you love games, head to your nearest Mox and check it out! The food options all sounded good, though we just had tea while we played - a LOVELY Sunday afternoon! (Game recs: Wingspan Asia and Barenpark) Extra park - if you bought something at the restaurant and then stayed to play a game, they offer 15% off whatever game you played! Very cool bonus.

    They have a great selection of board games and plenty of tables to play games. In comparison, Mox feels more competitive and less welcoming compared to Zulu's. I get a sense that most workers are just there to work and don't particularly enjoy small talk. There is food available, which we didn't get to try, and a sit-down area to enjoy it. The bathrooms are located on the right side of the restaurant portion. You may need a code depending on when you visit.

    Tavern Mac & Cheese
    Rocky D.

    This Cafe has gone severely down hill since opening many years ago. I love Mox and Card Kingdom as it has been a staple for the nerd community for a long time now. Stopped in for a father's day treat and the disappointment was great. Our waiter, without introduction, went straight to business and asked "you guys want any drinks?" The drink selection is good but the food is pretty limited. The Cafe was fairly noisy, not because of the customers, but due to the employees. We settled on getting a couple appetizers including the Tokyo corn dogs and the Tavern Mac and Cheese. Food came pretty quick which made sense. The corn dogs tasted of frozen quality but covered in sauce and mayo. The Mac and cheese was a travesty. Bland al dente past covered in flavorless melted cheese. Beechers Cheese is literally in the same city folks! Thankfully we waited to order mains, as we chose not too after first tastes. With each poorly constructed appetizer costing nearly 20 dollars, returning will be out of the question.

    This is a new favorite of mines. Been here 3 times so far and can't wait to get back every time…read more What I like the most about this place is the vibe of it all. It's not divey, but not hipster either which I really appreciate. They also play good classic rock in here, but switch the music to something up-tempo when it becomes evening. I feel that anyone can feel comfortable here. Ok so the food and drink. I was told that this is a whiskey bar, but I'm a tequila girl so I wasn't able to explore their whiskey library. I didn't want any of the happy hour drink options, so I just asked for a margarita and it was damn good. I had too many to admit on here. The main food attraction at Triangle Spirits is their fried chicken, which has been dubbed by some as the best in the city. You can get the chicken as a slider or sandwich, boneless skinless thighs on the happy hour menu (great deal of 10 bucks for 3 pieces and fries), or as a meal (dark or white meat with a side, or half a chicken with 2 sides). I tried the happy hour chicken basket and the dark meat meal. After trying both, I feel that the chicken on the happy hour is better than the meal. The happy hour chicken is boneless, very tender and more flavorful than their chicken on the bone. The secret mix of seasonings is more pronounced on the boneless chicken than it is with the bone in. The bone in chicken was just ok to us and didn't blow us away and it was also ridiculously expensive. I would not pay 35.00 again for what I tasted. The bone in chicken was fried well, but didn't have as much flavor as we were expecting. Also, the mac and cheese was the most disappointing. I suggest skipping that as it's obvious that the cheese is some kind or processed concoction from a box. This is still an awesome bar in Fremont. Stop in for a good time and atmosphere.

    I've only been here two times and they were both for Happy Hour…read more The Happy Hour prices for drinks are pretty darn good. My go-to HH cocktail here is the Vieux Carré, but I like herbal sweet & bitter, so it's right up my alley. Currently there are five HH cocktail options and they are $7... hard to find in Seattle! I've also had the rainier & rye for $9- the rye is great, forgot to ask what kind it is. I've had a few other HH drinks, which were alright, but these stand out the most. As for food, I've only tried the spicy Seattle dog, and I would get it again. The hot dog is cut up & shaped weird (see photo), but it tastes wonderful. I heard the fried chicken is great so I'll try that next time. Also, I was excited to see that they had buckeyes on the menu, but they didn't have any when we visited. Inside is spacious and woodsy, & outside there is an enjoyable patio. Servers are nice and seem happy to be there, which always elevates my experience anywhere. I definitely recommend coming to Triangle Spirits for Happy Hour (available daily 3-5pm, dine-in only).

    Decided to stop by this place in search of quality Thai food and a nice ambiance and it did not…read moredisappoint! My friend and I walked in at 9:20 (~40 mins before closing) and got a seat at the bar. They have happy hour from 9pm-close so we ordered the curry from the happy hour menu ($10), kra pao with an egg (~$20), and drinks (lychee martini $9, Thai-Tini $9). Such a great deal!! My favorite thing had to be the yellow curry, it was so creamy and had a nice kick. The kra pao was also very good, we picked spice 2 which was pretty hot but manageable. I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance, we got pretty lucky to get a walk in spot but the place was totally filled. A nice place for an upscale meal with a friend or a date!

Vibe - When I walked in, it felt like I was in a nighttime district on the streets of Thailand, eating and drinking whatever they had available. The vibe was that of a dark ambiance, with neon lights shining throughout the restaurant. Hospitality - The front-of-house staff was well-mannered and courteous, and they seated us quickly on a Monday night at 8:00 PM. It was a relatively busy night. However, we ordered fairly quickly, and the food came out within 10 to 15 minutes. Food - Food-wise, we ordered the Fried Papaya, Crispy Fried Rice, Khao Soi, Tom Yum, and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. Gosh, I have to say, I was blown away by the flavors and the portion sizes! Typically, four dishes can serve three people, but I felt like these could have served five. The fried papaya salad was lightly battered with a typical papaya salad dipping sauce featuring a base of fish sauce, green beans, tomatoes, and chilies. It was good. The crispy fried rice was served with lettuce wraps, and OMG, I kid you not when I tell you this is some of the crispiest rice I've ever had. It's hard to find, but when you do, you can't wait to take another bite. I thought the khao soi overall was not bad. I enjoyed that they put the fried noodles on top so that you can mix them into the curry when it's brought out. Lastly, the pork belly was well-cooked with a crispy, crunchy exterior, and served with delicious Thai-flavored fried rice! Drinks - We ordered the Thai lemon iced tea and the Thai tea cremosa. Both tasted good. Overall, I was very satisfied with this place, and if I lived here, I could see myself grabbing some late-night bites with the homies.
