First, I'd like to apologize for my initial review 4 years ago, because I've been recently going…read morehere and the food and experience has definitely changed! The Longonisa burger and homemade chips is my favorite, and my kids love their tasty pansit. Everything tastes fresh and authentic. I've also taken many of my Caucasian business partners here and they also love their authentic Filipino food and ube cookies. I highly recommend this place for the value you get for the prices you pay.

Walk up to the counter and order, take a seat and they'll bring your food. So many choices that I know I'll have to come back for another couple of meals. I decided on eggplant torta which was a slice of eggplant, smashed flat and fried with a scrambled egg. absolutely delicious and came with a side of rice. My friend got a turkey sandwich that came with a super thick slice of turkey, lettuce, tomato and avocado as well as a huge pile of chips. Needless to say she took half home. I don't know a lot about Filipino food and will need to have some items explained but since i love to try new things I am absolutely going back and work my way through the menu

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 to this spot not knowing it was a chain style American Italian restaurant. Price-wise, if I…read morehad known it was like an Olive Garden, I'd have gone to a different Italian restaurant which would likely have better dishes for the same price. The server was nice enough and the restaurant was clean. The food was good, but nothing I couldn't make at home.

While shopping in Federal Way, we decided to pop into Mama Stortini's. I've been hearing about…read moretheir iconic mozzarella sticks since I moved to Washington, so clearly it was time to investigate. We were seated promptly; however, our waitress walked past our table at least four times without acknowledging us. We were just about ready to walk out when she finally stopped and said she would be with us shortly. Thankfully, the service after that was fantastic. She was very kind and genuine and checked on us regularly. We initially had trouble finding the famous mozzarella sticks on the menu. When we asked our waitress about them, she pointed them out on the seasonal menu although even she had a hard time finding them. Apparently, they had just received new menus, so at least we weren't the only ones who needed a map to find them. She let us know that the mozzarella sticks had recently changed. They aren't as large as they used to be, are now drizzled with hot honey, and come with a side of spicy marinara. They definitely had a kick, but they were delicious. Obviously, I can't compare them to the original version, but they absolutely lived up to the hype. I ordered the triple-pepperoni thin-crust pizza, which unfortunately fell flat. The edges were so badly burned that they were black, and the pizza was extremely greasy and didn't have much flavor. Somehow it managed to be both burned and underwhelming an impressive combination, just not in a good way. My dining partner ordered the lunch-special fettuccine Alfredo along with the French onion soup. He said the fettuccine Alfredo was fantastic and was very pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Overall, I would absolutely come back for the mozzarella sticks and to try some of the other menu items. Would I order the pizza again? Not a chance. That relationship ended before the check arrived.

I used to go to the Time Out years ago when working in the area. Recently my friends and I decided…read moreto go for a few beers and play pool, so we stopped in at the Time Out. Service is always great here and the servers seem seasoned and professional. They always follow up and come back when promised, and do so with a smile. Prices are great, considering the recent inflation in our country. We've tried the burgers and were very tasty with a good sized order of fries to accompany them. The pizza was just ok. Our latest visit was a Saturday afternoon, and while not at capacity, they were doing a fairly brisk business. A bit of confusion when the server dropped our bill off to us before we were finished. After a bit of follow up with her, we finally realized her shift was ending at 5 and wanted us to cash out. We did pose some resistance to this idea of closing our tab at first, as we were still playing pool and drinking, so she was slightly perturbed with us. A clearer communication of the fact would have avoided all of that. Still a fun place to hang out and I'm sure we'll be back.

I've been wanting to try Market 253 Seafood House & Raw Bar for quite a while, but I kept putting…read moreit off because I assumed it was mostly seafood and raw bar offerings. My husband isn't the biggest seafood fan, so I didn't think it would be the best choice for the two of us. Turns out, I was completely wrong! I ordered the crab-crusted sirloin, and it was fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly, the crab topping was delicious, and the sauce tied everything together beautifully. It also came with shrimp, which were good, although I think I would have preferred them grilled instead. The asparagus was perfectly cooked as well. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the rice pilaf. It had a floral flavor that just wasn't my favorite. It wasn't bad, but next time I'll probably substitute it for another side. My husband lucked out because they had a smoked chicken thigh sandwich on special that day. It was made with pulled smoked chicken thigh and a house-made peach barbecue sauce. I didn't try it myself, but he absolutely loved it and said it was excellent. One thing I also noticed was the food coming out to the surrounding tables. The woman next to us ordered one of the burgers with a side salad instead of fries, and honestly, both looked incredible. The side salad was surprisingly large and looked fresh and delicious. This definitely won't be our last visit. I came in expecting a mostly seafood-only restaurant and left realizing there's something for just about everyone. Great food, great atmosphere, and plenty of menu options. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying something new!

Only saw karaoke once, but it was pretty good. The location is weird, but only adds to the charm. Makes you think you've discovered a local secret.. oh wait.. YOU HAVE! I honestly don't like reviewing my favorite places because then they get too crowded.. but then.. if I don't.. they go out of business.. so here I am. Recommending my favorite local bar and restaurant! Food is great quality. Happy hour is generous. Love the Asian Chicken Salad. Yum! And thanks for the one french fry with my burger! I laughed so hard. If you know.. you know.

We came in on a Sunday afternoon. It was quiet and seat yourself, but the staff were friendly…read more There was a self-serve water station with some lemon cucumber water. The bartender offered me ice, but I don't actually like ice in my water, so I prefer this. I also really like being able to choose my own table--I know this would be impossible at a busy restaurant, but this was so dead we could, so go here Sunday at about 3! All the tables are very pretty and looked comfortable. I prefer the comfort and privacy of booths (which they have a few), but the friend with whom I was dining needs tall chairs, so we opted for that. The cocktails were AMAZING, and the hummus plate was more than enough for lunch. So delicious. It came with warmed triangles even though the menu didn't mention them! Yum, yum, yum!!! We will be back FOR SURE. We paid with a gift certificate and only remembered DAYS LATER that we forgot to leave a tip!!!!! So, we have to at least go back for that‍‍‍‍‍usually places remind me!!! They were so polite!!! Ugh. I love it there. They have a really cool set-up for what looks like bands, karaoke and trivia. I am IN!!!

So wanted to love this place. Come on with a name like Biscuits it's going to be good right…read more Well not really. We decided on breakfast for lunch. I got the Biscuits and Gravy with bacon. Asked for crisp but not overcooked bacon and 2 biscuits. We also orders an omelette with gravy and biscuits and a cinnamon roll to start. 1) The cinnamon roll was barely warm. It was good but could have been hotter. 2) The omelet was good but the potatoes were burnt bits and the biscuits were very dry and not soft at all like over baked or sat in the heating drawer way past their due date. 3) The sausage gravy and biscuits meal with bacon was not good. Burnt bacon, hockey pucks for biscuits that no amount of gravy could save and potato's were burnt bits. I guess you need to come for breakfast early to get some quality breakfast foods. Service was very good and the place is very casual and clean. On the fence with this place as this was our very first time eating here.

Late review. My daughter brought me here on 5/13/22 for breakfast. The restaurant was newly…read morerenovated and clean. I recall that I ordered some kind of omelette with a side of pancakes.

Those who served the meals seemed like kind and gracious people. The plastic utensils were sturdy and gold and the napkins that came with the meal were the thickest ones I've ever seen in a restaurant. We had the chicken and beef kabob. It was served over saffron rice and was good tasting and satisfying comfort food. The meal came with some flat bread and a good hummus. The salad was fresh.

I thought this place had shut down but when I sent my husband to buy tamales, he came here. He said…read morethe place was up and running with customers. He only came here because he thought that if the tamal cost $6 then they had to be good. They were not. When I asked him where he got them and he said here, I looked it up on Yelp, who was saying they were permanently shut down. Little to no flavor. Traditional Guatemalan tamales have a slice of red bell pepper, and an olive in it, giving it more flavor but this one just had the meat and let me add that the amount of bones that were in the tamale was just absolutely unacceptable. Everyone knows that you don't put bones in tamales. The amount of times I bit into a bone or had to spit them out, made the eating process so unpleasant. I had told my husband to not come here anymore since it's so overpriced but I guess he forgot. It was just another reminder why I don't come here anymore

When we walked in we weren't exactly sure of the process, but it was clear we were supposed to…read moreorder at the counter first. The restaurant is big, spacious and super clean.
