Chicken curry - quite flavorful, spice action never toned down; I usually request less salt Chicken Fry AND Goat Fry Biryani - unique ensemble!! I like how the protein/spices are separate from rice. This way each bite is a nice surprise (zero uniformity!) . Where's the fun in overly stirred dishes. Also, the magical biryani takes me back about 25 yrs to flavors found next to Gwood library at Kabob House. In that realm biryani was available only Fri/Sat and folks lined up! Gobi Manchurian - perfect appetizer to prepare palette for incoming goodness Channa Masala with their delicate garlic naan - it's similar to having channa/butura. Have to say...the garlic naan alone brings me into the scene here too often. It has become something of a liability living nearby!!

I'm always so impressed with how good of a value this place is. I mean the prices seem like they're…read morefrom 10 years ago. On our last trip we got pho, banh mi, a side of pho broth, and egg rolls and it was around $30. There's just not many places nowadays where you can go out to eat for 2 people at that price point. Honestly, they could raise their prices. The food is consistently good and the portions are generous. This is a family-run place and they work hard and long hours. It can get busy sometimes, but they're efficient.

The appetizers are expensive tho so is the drinks but still not bad compared to most places. I ordered fresh spring rolls with pork (they put BBQ pork in it) and shrimp. I didn't expect the crunchy stick in it (it kind of overpowered the shrimp and pork which is weird). But the peanut sauce is great! Not too rich and not too fish-saucey either (I love fish sauce and peanuts but I do be looking for that perfect balance of both when it comes to the sauce), the sauce has peanut pieces in it as well which I like. I ordered tendon and meatball pho, the broth is mild but it has a slight umami taste and it came out hot and cooked the noodles and veggies just right. Pho only comes in one sized bowl but the bowl is around medium/large size depending on what pho places you've been. I think this might be one, if not, the cheapest pho I've found when it comes to portion:price ratio (it's just a tiny bit cheaper than Pho Vietnam, another good cheap pho place but their broth comes out lukewarm). But they do skimp a bit on meat, I didn't get much tendon and meatballs but $11 for this amount of pho is still hard to beat especially in Seattle. For drinks I ordered their pickled lemonade.. it's made in-house, and it tasted like someone put some butter in a lemon-tasted ice water lol but I'm glad I've tried it since I've never seen it in other places before. The food also came out quick despite dinner rush, they usually leave you alone after that until it's time to pay. There's a limited amount of tables and the most I've seen seated is 4 people in a table so not sure if this place is ideal for 4-5+ crowd. The ambience is nothing special and the place is small but they do have a nice looking Christmas tree just in time for holidays. Overall you can get a meal for under $20, I got fresh rolls, meatball and tendon pho and pickled lemonade drink+taxes for $25, that's usually the price of getting just pho + taxes without appetizers around here! Im a struggling broke b and in this economy who isn't so I'll be back to try more of their noodle soups, particularly the bun bo hue (I don't like mine with pork blood and hocks anyway... Yeah y'all can judge me) they also have Chinese soups and some noodle soups too, plenty of cheap food to try!

Rated at 3.5-stars (not a full 4.0*)…read more This restaurant is one shop in a string of shops on Greenwood Avenue. It's a little dark (window only on the street side), and it's seen better days. The staff seems friendly enough, but they are stretched thin, and it took a while for the server to take my order, then a while for the kitchen to actually produce it. The food was adequate, but nothing special: I had the Big Dipper breakfast & tea - in my case scrambled eggs, blueberry pancakes, hash browns, and a sausage patty. The hash browns were pretty standard, the scrambled eggs pretty standard, the sausage patty huge and greasy, and the two blueberry pancakes huge and very thick (a little heavy). It was a lot of food, more than I wanted to eat. They had a good variety of teas, but not the one I wanted (Earl Grey) so I settled for English Breakfast. There was nothing wrong with breakfast or the restaurant, but not much to get excited about either. I probably won't go back, but if I do, I'd expect the food to be adequate but not worth a special trip. Going out for breakfast is a pleasure, but when I pay restaurant prices for breakfast, I expect it to be a little more enjoyable than this was.

It wasn't quite incredibly tender, but the marinade added an absolute ton of flavor. more importantly, it was present plentifully throughout the sandwich, so practically every bite came filled with pork I also have to mention how packed together the ingredients are between the buns. when you start eating, it's inevitable that a quarter of the ingredients will fall onto the wrap below, leaving a nice secondary meal to finish off after the sandwich is done. the sandwich is packed incredibly tight during the wrapping process, but it unravels a bit while eating. for me, the major highlights of this meal was the onions and the aioli Starting with the onions, these may be the best I've ever had on a sandwich. They're caramelized amazingly, placed onto the sandwich in astoundingly large pieces, are crunchy, and there's just a lot of them. They're just wonderful both texturally and taste-wise. This sandwich is absolutely lathered with aioli - practically dripping with it. This boosted the overall flavor so much, especially because this aioli was addictingly good. In my experience, the amount of sauce has been directly proportional to how much I enjoyed a sandwich, and when the sauce is this good - it's even on the top of the bun! - i absolutely loved it Somehow the lettuce stayed crunchy despite all the otherwise wetness going on in the sandwich. Props for that The jalapenos were great as well for that extra bit of spicy - I would've loved to have more of them while the bread was toasted well, the one downside was i thought it was pretty hard and tough, which made chewing kind of difficult. I found my jaw to be pretty tired at the end after eating this. I would've much preferred a softer roll that's easier to bite into I've had similar sandwiches from Paseo and Bongos, and in my opinion this does edge out both of those Comparing to Paseo, the sandwich there has way more oil, making it more sloppy and I do like the bread there a lot better, but the pork feels richer and better marinated here (although less fatty), and the onions are definitely caramelized better here as well. Bongos has a pretty similar level of pork with more, but onions are definitely a step down What moves this place above those two for me is the amount of aioli used here far exceeds those other places, which just makes the overall eating experience better For the price (about 14 dollars) this is a really filling meal

Definitely worth a visit for a great sandwich.

OPA ! You wanted…read morethe Greek experience you got the Greek Experience the Hottest GYRO in the Land KIPOS! With KIPOS you'll savor Old World Greek authenticity throughout your entire meal. The owner of this place a created a Grecian diner for to enjoy... The essence of the quality gyro is proof KIPOS is authentic Athenian cuisine created by the Greek God's... For my dining pleasure I'm a huge gyro lover but the fries added to the mix well that's a love or hate debate. I extract them and eat separate. It's like a bonus with your gyro so who's arguing with me... Anyways the real rock star item is the Loukaniko Plate. The owner slaves in the back room making his own home made Greek sausages from scratch. Serving the fries with a splash of Tzatziki a few splices of red onion and covering those crispy fries then adding the sausages on top. Any Greek worth his weight understands that fries can only be served with crispy. BRAVO ! This is why is so awesome! Ok, now that you understand the high quality of the food well the service is warm & friendly. Always warmly greeted like your one of the extended family. The dining area looked like a rustic Greek place from Santorini with wood floors and the white & blue interior. The front window is on a opening system like a garage door so when the warm weather heats up the open the front of the building... So that's more thoughts on this amazing diner.
