I visited for the first time with a group of friends, and it was the most hostile energy we've ever…read moreexperienced. The bartender seemed irritated we were there as a group, despite it being incredibly empty at 5:30pm. She seemed annoyed at my friend needing to double check her order on the online menu? My spouse went up to order at the bar and was apparently waiting in the incorrect spot but she ignored them, made no move to correct them or ask them to move to the register until after someone else went up to order. One of my friends went up to place their order and she just stared at them and didn't say anything. She never once greeted us as we entered or spoke kindly/professional to any of us. Despite happily greeting and speaking to several other people who arrived after us. I could have excused the poor service if the bar was super busy/hectic but it was so early in the day and there were maybe 3 other pairings of people in there... My friends and I are all younger and somewhat queer looking. I was under the impression this was a somewhat queer friendly place but it certainly didn't feel that way. I don't know for sure if that's what it was but it felt like there was some sort of prejudice from the moment we walked in. We were not welcomed there regardless. The food was pretty good, and drinks were fine. The service alone was so hostile and uncomfortable I wouldn't recommend anyone coming here.

Ordered online for pickup (short rib kimchi box and side of pickled radish). Kimchi box is at a…read morebusy intersection but there is plenty of parking. Order at the counter or order online like I did and pick up. 4 instead of 5 stars because the kimchi box no longer has jap chae and all the japchae options are now more expensive, and jap chae was unavailable for online ordering on clover ("noodle box"). Kid friendly - if your kid likes meat and rice, or chicken wings. Food is always good with quick friendly service. I liked it a little better with the original menu (see above) but it's still probably my go to spot since it's closer than driving to South Tacoma Way for Korean food.

Kimchi box is a great lunch option in central Tacoma. The food is good and the meals all come as a…read morewell balanced meal option with proteins vegetables and carbohydrates. I wouldn't call it health food but it's a healthier option than a lot of the lunch spots. Food is ordered at the counter and brought to your table, the service is usually friendly and fast. Atmosphere is casual, just a week day lunch kind of vibe. It's also a kid friendly place if you're looking for a casual spot to take young ones. My kids really like the kimchi fries and I'm a big fan of spicy pork bulgogi or japchae. Price for 3 people was under $50 with tip.

I'm not sure how often they clean the nozzles on the taps, but it needs to be done more often I would think. we ordered the wings, when they came out, they were piping hot, and we were excited until about the third wing in for each of us. After the wings have been on the table for about 10 minutes, the honey jalapeño started to congeal, and the other flavor breading just started to fall off. Unfortunately, this is not the place for wings anymore, or beer until they clean those nozzles. Super nice and helpful bartender.

The new space has a classy/casual appeal, the mood lighting is beautiful, the staff is friendly and professional. The food is INCREDIBLE. My favorite dish is the beet ravioli (pictured) the beet puree inside the ravioli is so smooth and silky--the pistachios add such a perfect texture and flavor. I also always order the aperol spritz (pictured). Our server was attentive and sweet. We ordered a lot of appetizers and I have to recommend the burrata--it is so decadent. Make sure to reserve a table for a special occasion, you won't be disappointed!

Great Service & Perfect Wings!…read more The staff here was extremely nice and welcoming! The entire location was clean, well-kept, and had a great vibe. You could really see how well the team worked together--everyone was helpful and attentive. I asked for my wings to be cooked well-done and was even given the option to select how long I wanted them cooked. I chose 25 minutes, and they came out perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. Overall, a smooth experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back!

The people working inside were wonderful and I don't want this to reflect poorly on them…read more Food and service was fine but when I was leaving there was a manager? Older Man with a moustache that was standing outside the door, blocking me from leaving. I said excuse me and he ignored me and continued his conversation with somebody else outside, making me wait even though it was pretty clear that I collected my order and was trying to leave. It's been a long day and I did not pay money to come here and have somebody who works there treat me like their conversation was more important than letting me leave. This was completely disrespectful.

I opted on the cheddar bay biscuit, got my man the cornbread, got the Oreo for my son, Cinnamon Toast Crunch for my daughter, and my niece also got the Oreo. Each one SLAPPED!!!! The chicken was also generously portioned and well seasoned. They did not disappoint. I enjoyed the art they selected in the building. They also had a couple humorous signs at the entry that make the place feel very chill and laid back. I'm looking forward to going back.

He had the Blueberry waffles and chicken and I had the Southern Cornbread and spicy chicken. The food was good, the chicken was moist and truly spicy!! The service was TERRIBLE! The girl that took our order was not happy to be there AT ALL! We stepped up to the counter to order, forget asking any questions. You could not understand what even her question of dipping sauce or original or spicy was. Not in a language barrier way but she was basically whispering in a way to not engage. It seemed like there was a steady stream of customers so for the owner that is nice, I am glad for that but I wouldn't run back due to the very unfriendly service.

I have been here dozens of times. Today, my daughter and I ordered a sandwich thru ubereats for us…read moreto pick up. We got there and as the food had not been started yet, we asked for cheese on half of it only. They said they don't do that which is a lie, because I have gotten it like that several times. Ten minutes after it should have been done, I went to check....not started. Asked the cheese request again, NO. When I got the food, about 15 minutes late, I asked to speak to the manager. The female clerk refused to get them because they were slammed. It is not an eat in place, only us and one person were waiting for food. She still refused to get him. I let her know Yelp and Ubereats would be hearing about this. I, in the past, have high recommended this place because of what they do for the community. After today, I will never return.

I tried my best, not to like this sandwich when I first looked at it, but every bite it just got better. Great job to the staff tonight, keep it up! Was he hesitant to stop by because of the reviews but I'm glad I did. I feel like it was better than the Lakewood location.

Bartender/waiter was friendly. We did have to go to bar to get a drink refill. Had a pretzel, boneless wings and a pizza. Pretzel texture was good but it was a little cold. Wings and pizza were good and my companion said she would come back for the pizza and to try regular wings. Looks like they have a decent amount of activities and events throughout the week.

Also have karaoke, but we were a bit early for that. The club sandwich was good, the fries were good--as well as the ranch.

Pretty chill spot. 3.5 overall
