Great beer and a huge delicious all vegetarian menu with tons of vegan options. They have weekend brunch and full lunch and dinner menus during the week. This is one of my favorite Bellingham spots for vegan options, and I try to make it on every trip! They have shakshuka they can make vegan with tofu, vegan beer cheese as an option for pretzels or smothering burritos, and pierogi and latkes. It's delicious! Super kid-friendly, almost every group at brunch had a toddler. And the folks who working there are very friendly and helpful.

The second time I visited 6 months ago, I ordered the curry pierogi. I was unimpressed with the quality; they tasted like over boiled Mrs Ts frozen pierogies. For the price, I expected much better. If you want pierogies, go to Pelmeni!! I was so disappointed I haven't been back, but I think I should give it another shot. I remember the beer being solid. Will there be a redemption?

My companion and I arrived during Happy Hour and these two selections are on that menu, so we had them again--and I guess the utility of this review is to say that these selections continue to be consistently delicious and that this is a wonderful place. We also shared an Afogato--vanilla gelato with decaf espresso poured over! Perfect, quite light after our meal and beautiful enough to paint as a watercolor. This is one of our easy go-to's when looking to dine out. We were happily helped by friendly bartenders, Nicole and Sie, who made great recommendations and great drinks for us. I especially loved the Mario Cicotti cocktail (an interesting variant of an Old Fashioned--including tobacco bitters and charred orange peel!--very interesting). And we enjoyed the beautiful, warm Montepulciano Nicole recommended. And they concocted a surprise drink for my dessert--I can't recall what it was--but it was lovely and came with a bunch of hearts! Consistently wonderful place in all ways, with lots of heart itself. In my opinion, what's not to love?

I ordered the chilled sweet and sour potato and was very disappointed. $17 for what I got was insane. It was just a few slivers of potato and carrot on top of cold vermicelli. I loved the decor and atmosphere, but it was a very underwhelming experience for me. I'll definitely give it another try and give something else a try.

**Review for Ono Kitchen and Bar**…read more Ono Kitchen and Bar is a fantastic spot that offers Latin dance lessons on Thursday nights from 7:30 to 10:30 PM--highly recommended for anyone looking to learn some new moves! The watermelon and crispy pork belly starter was to die for: juicy and perfectly fried, truly heaven in your mouth. The kalua pork tacos were decent; the bao bun was perfectly fluffy like a cloud, but they were a bit greasy, making them slightly soggy. However, the flavor was still great. Our server answered our many questions about drinks and food. Overall, I recommend Ono Kitchen and Bar, especially for the dance lessons and for grabbing a few drinks and bites afterward.

We live about 20 minutes away, and when we got home, my pho only had noodles and tofu. It was missing the bean sprouts, lime, and green chili listed on the menu. The bread on the banh mi was burnt and so hard my husband had to remove it. Where was the kitchen quality control? I worked in the service industry for years and I don't enjoy leaving negative feedback, but I did want to let them know. I called and spoke with a manager who said I would need to bring the food back in person for any sort of refund. Since we don't live in Bellingham, that wasn't realistic. I offered to send photos and was told they didn't have a way to receive them (sure, sure). Unfortunately, nothing was offered to make it right which was frustrating considering our total was $60 and more than half of my husband's sandwich ended up on the trash. It was a disappointing experience overall, and we won't be returning.

There'a both indoor and outdoor seating. The guy working let us know he was a fill-in for someone else, so we browsed inside the bike shop while he made our grub. We split the Lord of the Fries with spicy chipotle sauce and the Gyro. It was a ton of food for 2 people so we didn't end up finishing it all. The loaded fries are incredible - get those... especially with that spicy sauce! Super filling, so I would recommend a half portion unless you are sharing with a group. The gyro was loaded with chikn (which needed more seasoning) and impossible to hold, so we ended up eating it with a fork and skipping the pita. The tzatziki was delicious, but the gyro really needs greens/lettuce to balance it out because the proportions are off. We would order something else next time. Washed it all down with a cold one inside Evil Bikes and browsed the fancy mountain bikes. Would come back for sure to try more.
