The hack: if you eat in, white rice is complementary as is broth (Nilaga or Sinigang) To me the Porcheta was awesome and my wife loved the Pinakbit). Those are 5 stars. The chicken Adobo was solid - I give that 4 stars. Loved the music in the store and I plan to come back at least once a month - pay homage to the motherland at 1 lb a month. So good - masarap

It comes with fruit layered in the bottom with ice cream on top and Ube ice cream as well as some flan pieces and it is so delicious... I know I said that, but it's so nice. I had to say it twice. This is a really unique thing that would be most comparable to a milkshake for a lot of people You can eat any way you like, but I'm told that people commonly mix it up although you can eat the layers individually of course if you choose It has several chunks of banana jackfruit, even some sweet potato, which may not be something you associate with this type of drink/dish normally but it really works here. This is something that is very unique and certainly should be tried - you are gonna love it

She charged me an extra $5 for the combo and lied that they don't offer sandwich only as an option anymore. Confronted her about it and she admitted to her dishonesty because she didn't want to figure out how to refund the $5. Burger was not cooked through and had lots of pink. Did not feel well taken care of as a customer.. Last time going to this market despite its layout. Owner needs to take care to improve quality of service and prepared foods.

We first visited over a year ago. They were having a viral moment & so of course we were…read moreinfluenced. That first visit was decent. The food was made hot & fresh. The samoon bread was insanely fresh. They were popping out batch after batch. That bread was soft, delicious & every ounce of comfort you could expect from fresh baked bread. I went a couple weeks ago and tried to order a shawarma but I must have came to early bc they were not ready. So today I decided to try again. I ordered the combo and the digital menu shows the combo as $14.99 but it rang up at $15.99. Not a big deal but the digital board should be updated. If you order online, the price does show for $15.99. The cashier was okay. Not as friendly with me as she was with others. It was like I was bothering her by ordering food. The gentleman who was in the back cooking my food was pretty friendly though. Honestly, based on the experience with the cashier it would be pretty easy to not rush back. But the shawarma was just good as I remembered. The chicken was juicy and extremely flavorful. Now that I work closer to this location, it will definitely be in rotation for me. The samoon was calling my name on this visit but I will definitely have to wait until next time and get it with some hummus. You can order the shawarma on the samoon also.

Visited this hole in the wall restaurant located in Great Wall plaza in Kent when my parents were…read morein town a couple weeks ago. The restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall leading to ranch 99 (Asian supermarket). I've had this spot pinned on my Google Maps for the longest time but just never had the opportunity to make the drive there. This place was easy to miss if you don't look carefully so I'm glad I saw this recommended by a Seattle foodie I follow on instagram. We ordered the spicy braised beef noodles and steamed dumplings to share since we weren't that hungry. The braised beef noodles BLEW ME AWAY. The broth was so rich and savory, my mom commented that it tasted better than the one at din tai fung (we are frequent visitors & I agree) and the noodles were chewy (I love thick noodles!!). The dumplings were very juicy and flavorful but nothing too special. Service was prompt and servers were really friendly. There were so many other dishes on the menu featuring traditional Chinese dishes that looked delicious and so I do want to come back to try those when I am hungry! Definitely a hidden gem for good Asian food :)

I would get this weekly if it was closer. Want to come back to dumplings and pancake. The waitress was nice and checked in regularly. Also got free tea. I think it was a barley tea that was delicious.

There was also a real menu next to the tablet as well. The soup was piping hot! With an order of the soup you get kimchi and fermented octopus which goes great with the hot rice. We didn't get the bowl of green onions as a condiment with the soup. But maybe it was something we had to ask for? We also ordered the pan friend kimchi mandoo. It had a nice crunch and the filling was plentiful. If you have leftover, they do charge for boxes.

Oh my gosh. Everything was so good. Dare I say, best seafood scallion pancake I've had. Service was…read morefantastic and employees were amiable. Let me tell you about the seafood pancake. It was crunchy and not too salty or bland. The ratio of scallion, seafood, and batter was perfect. They did not skimp out on the squid. The size of the squid was about one phalange. When I bit into the squid it was chewy, springy, and meaty. It's amazing to me how they managed to make the pancake crunchy despite filling it with so many ingredients. The kimchi and radish were super flavorful and not too spicy! Kimchi was sooo good. Even though the side dishes were limited, I enjoyed the freshness and taste. I also tried the samgyetang (Korean chicken soup) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) for the first time. The samgyetang was light and hearty. The broth could have been a bit sweeter. I probably wouldn't order this again though because I like more flavor. Though the bibim naengmyeon was too spicy for me, it was refreshing. The noodles were chewy and the cucumbers added a nice crunch.

One of my besties frequently passes by this Latino-owned sushi and teriyaki spot, and we decided to…read morecome here in a group of three on a Friday evening around 4:30pm. Actually it's afternoon, but we get less sunlight around this time hence it feels like the evening even at 4pm. Anyway, the inside is brightly lit and is very casual, with the interior feeling like a fast-food joint but with much better seating quality. Their menu consists of teriyaki, Chinese food, sushi, bento boxes, fried rice, yakisoba and many others. They also have a special sushi menu located behind the counter, and one particular kind caught my friend's eye. Servers were patient with us and would come by once in a while to refill our water cups. Now for the food: - We each got our own bento box. For mines, i got their box with hot crispy chicken, spicy tuna rolls and four pieces of gyoza. The hot crispy chicken is already filling on its own, and they don't skimp on the spices. It was really crispy, sometimes to the point of scratching the inside of my mouth. Spicy tuna rolls were standard but also hit the spot, with the mayo sauce and even the tuna being spicy. The gyozas were also standard but were cooked well. Portions here are huge, and I almost asked for a to-go box for my remaining chicken. They didn't provide me with a side of salad as they advertise on their menu, though. It only came with my other friend's bento with chicken teriyaki, California roll and four pieces of gyoza. He did enjoy the teriyaki here, though. - My friend got a Diablo roll, which has a similar mayo sauce on it but is covered on the outside by a layer of Flaming Hot Cheetos. This was even spicier than the spicy tuna rolls which was actually even better. It gets really filling because of all the filling and sauces above it, and carries a familiar crunch with the Hot Cheetos covering. This place has some big portions for their food and needs more exposure! I'd be back for their other dishes and offerings.

The server was super nice, my review has nothing really bad to say really, the price just didn't…read morereally reflect the value for me. The food was pretty run if the mill for a teryaki/sushi place. I'll never understand $10+ for a California roll but I had a hankering for one so that's that. The restaurant itself was very clean and I did enjoy the food but there really wasn't anything that stood out, which is fine, but $34 for teryaki, a Cali roll and a sprite isn't really appealing imo. Maybe I'm just a cheap-ass old man yelling at the clouds about "back in my day when teryaki was 4.99!"

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.

Everything is incredible. If you're in the Kent area they're right downtown and I highly recommend wild wheat bakery
