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.

WOW!!! NEW OWNERSHIP, AMAZING FOOD, AND INCREDIBLE SERVICE! YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE!…read more Let me start by saying I have NEVER been so thankful for receiving terrible service at another restaurant! My kids and I originally went to Starting Gate for lunch today, but after being completely ignored by the staff, we walked out and decided to go to Rainbow Cafe instead. AND LET ME TELL YOU... BEST DECISION WE COULD HAVE MADE!!! This was our first visit since Rainbow Cafe came under new ownership, and WOW, what an incredible experience! If you haven't been back since the new owners took over, YOU ARE SERIOUSLY MISSING OUT! First off, THE FOOD!!! The new menu is absolutely incredible! Everything we ordered looked amazing, the portions were generous, and the food was DELICIOUS! From the crispy chicken fried steak and golden hash browns to the fish and chips and the absolutely loaded sandwich, everything was beautifully prepared and looked just as good as it tasted! You can tell there's pride going into what's coming out of that kitchen. But what really made our experience stand out was the SERVICE! The staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was inviting, and we actually felt like valued customers. The manager even took the time to come over to our table and personally greet us! That kind of hospitality makes such a difference, especially after the experience we'd just had elsewhere. THIS is how you run a restaurant! Great food, wonderful people, excellent service, and management that actually takes the time to connect with customers. I cannot say enough good things about our experience today. What started as a frustrating lunch outing turned into an absolutely fantastic experience, and we discovered a place we'll happily be coming back to! To the new owners and the entire Rainbow Cafe team: KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING! You've absolutely earned our business! And to anyone who hasn't visited Rainbow Cafe since the ownership change, GO!!! Give them a chance, try the new menu, and support this local restaurant. You won't regret it! 5 STARS ALL AROUND!

Looks like the local spot has changed management/ownership. Wouldn't really mind so much except…read morethey replaced their menu with breakfast only items and close at 2 pm because they've changed over a bunch of staff. Ordered steak and eggs which was described as chuck steak. They mean ground hamburger meat but when the waitress asked if that's what I meant, i responded by pointing at the menu item and saying "the steak?" $17 for a big hamburger patty, burned inedible hashbrowns, and burned toast. My mother asked not to include certain ingredients and they came out anyway too. Took a long time which I would expect for how I order it thinking it was a steak but pretty egregious for a hamburger patty. They've recently painted but took down all their personal effects so it looks very clinical and awkward. Does not help they are having a severe small fly infestation so not comfortable ambiance to sit in for chatting, like their lunch lulls used to be good for. Sounds like they're asking for some leniency in transition but they might as well close. I won't be coming back until I hear from someone else it's worth my time an

I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and an iced tea, the Philly cheesesteak came out piping hot and steaming, the flavors of the sandwich was great and the peppers and onions were cooked to perfection and the side thing of pickles made a great contrast for the sandwich that really put it all together, the iced tea was a tad bit bitter but nothing the sugar packets at the table couldn't fix. Overall 5/5 would come again to try more dishes and the breakfast.

One of my favorite places for a Turkish Breakfast in South King County. I have taken a several of…read moremy friends there and they all liked it as well. The place gets busy with customers and other Turkish families, which is a good sign. You order up at the counter when you walk in, then you pay and they give you a number to take to your table. They will then bring over the food to your table. Don't expect for personalized service/hospitality from the staff. It's cashier style and then drop off food, they they buss the table. Favorite to order are: Menemen, Beef Manti, Chicken Bowl, Avocado Toast, (kids love the mini pancakes), Pide Flatbreads Parking: Parking lot (Store is in a building of apartments/condos)

It's always nice to try something new with food. While visiting Tacoma, I was taken to this Turkish…read morerestaurant which my sister and her husband enjoy a lot. I was always thought all mediterranean restaurants are the same, but this one is a little different for me. Everything has yogurt in it and I'm not too crazy about sour yogurt. The restaurant is in a little shopping center, there are actually quite a few places to park. The restaurant is very nice, clean and airy. It's a self order, and they bring the food to your table. The prices are around $20 a dish. My sister ordered all the dishes, pizza, chicken, wontons, they all looked delicious but the tastes are so different for me. The wontons are not as tasty as Chinese wontons and they're not soft. The chicken is tasty but not very flavorful. The yogurt is very sour and rich. I had some slices of pizza, but nothing to rave about. Anyhow, at least I know what Turkish food is like. This one is supposed to be the best one in Tacoma and my sister family love it. Like they say, it's not my cup of tea.

This place caught my eye because the pancakes looked incredibly delicious and had great reviews…read more It's conveniently located in an unassuming strip mall on the east hill of Kent. We ordered the chicken fried steak, and sausage, eggs, and toast, and let me tell you, those pancakes were the best! They were golden and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, always smiling and making sure we had everything we needed. The service was a bit slow, but I think it's because there's only one cook and two other staff members who help wait on tables. Despite the wait, the food was plentiful and delicious. I'll definitely be returning, especially for those pancakes!

I love breakfast and would happily order their sourdough pancakes. They make their syrup in-house with molasses and corn syrup. I cannot eat corn syrup and they do not offer real maple syrup as an alternative. I went with the Swedish pancakes which come with lingonberry sauce. Two of the three pancakes were a bit undercooked for my preference. The lingonberry sauce is quite nice. The pancakes are large and thin: a crêpe. Our waiter was efficient at taking our order. He smiles and used "buzz words" like 'sure thing' and 'you got it'. He wasn't friendly or chatty and he wasn't attentive. Which is definitely unlike our previous visits. The coffee is good and comes in their cute logo mug. We weren't offered a 'top off'. Maybe they don't do that? We also did not get our waters refilled, so may be just a waiter situation. The host/ess will seat you. Parking is shared with nearby businesses. Handicap spot by the door. Clean restrooms are near the front, just past the host/ess stand. A small waiting area is available inside for those busy times of day.

We visited Maggie on Meeker Breakfast today around 11:00 a.m., and despite how packed the…read morerestaurant was, our experience was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. It's clear why this place is so popular. The atmosphere was welcoming, the restaurant was very clean, and everything ran smoothly even during a busy rush. This is a family-owned restaurant, and our server/owner, Raman Aurora, truly made the experience special her mom also checked on us. She was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive, especially considering how busy the place was. She checked on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed and never made us feel rushed or forgotten. The level of hospitality was exceptional. We ordered the salmon omelette with house potatoes, along with pancakes from the kids' menu. The food arrived hot and fresh, and the portion sizes were huge, especially the salmon omelette. The amount of salmon in the omelette was very generous and impressive for such a reasonable price. You can tell they don't cut corners with quality or quantity. The house potatoes were perfectly cooked, and the pancakes were fluffy and delicious. One highlight was the homemade hot salsa, which was absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. It paired perfectly with the omelette and really elevated the meal. They were also incredibly accommodating, especially since I had our 2 1/2-year-old nephew with me. They kindly gave us the seating I requested, which made our visit much more comfortable. They also gave him some goodies. The menu is excellent, with great variety, and the salmon omelette was highly recommended now I know why. Even though the restaurant was full and they were likely short-staffed, the service was efficient, organized, and friendly throughout our visit. It's rare to find a place that delivers great food, generous portions, fair prices, and outstanding service all at once. We were extremely impressed and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend Maggie on Meeker Breakfast to anyone looking for an amazing breakfast spot in Kent, Washington!

We didn't want to drive all the way home (Puyallup) and decided to look at what was in the area. Serious soul popped up and was close so we decided to go there. I am so happy we did. I'm pretty sure happy crab would've been great, but serious soul was a great gem to find. We ordered chicken and waffles, chicken and greens, chicken and fries, catfish and greens and pecan pie as well as velvet cake and everything was absolutely phenomenal. This was cooked/baked by one person, she was a one-woman show and was so sweet! I can't wait to return even though I live quite awhile away, but it's worth the drive considering we don't have places like this anymore. The vibe definitely gives "Princess and the frog" where Princess Tiana is cooking up amazing dishes on her own, putting love into it all. You'll know what I mean when you meet her
