“Maya and Deja were absolutely incredible! Was picking up an order for a group with complicated requests, and they were up for the challenge! Appreciate their time and customer service!”
“I've always loved Sarku. Haven't seen one in a mall for years so when I found this I was ecstatic. The prices are very reasonable, I got a #4 which was teriyaki chicken and shrimp with fried rice. I went around 1245 and the line was moving pretty quickly. The fried rice was fresh and they were making the chicken while waiting.It did not disappoint. Just remember to ask for extra teriyaki sauce before grabbing your tray.”
“The impossible burger is the best kept secret at Burger King. I have recently decided to no longer eat meat. The impossible burger was recommended by a co-worker and I must say. It was so delicious. I could taste the char-grilled taste on the burger. It tastes just like meat. The cashier/servers in the drive thru were very positive, timely, and professional. Very pleasantly surprised because I rarely eat at Burger King.”
“Excellent customer service! Mikala and Emily went out of there way to save me a pepperoni pretzel before they all sold out! They are truly wonderful:) also great pretzels”
“The place for bagels in Tacoma! We come to pick up 2 bagel sands each time we visit from Honolulu! Bagels are well made, fillings are generous and flavors are on spot. Only issue? There's always a line so go early on a weekday. Line's part of the charm I guess and the place has tons of personality!Parking: Go early for parking and no line.”
“Great tapas. Loved the anchovies, hard to find around here. Hoped to see a Spanish Vermouth somewhere. Paella was out of stock, looking forward to having that next time. Glad you’re here!!! Loved the food, atmosphere and prices. Michelle was great and had good recommendations.”
“Really wonderful place for a date night. The staff was incredibly friendly, the food was amazing, and the ambiance of the restaurant was great. Would definitely come here again. I had the over the moon lasagna and my wife had the scallops. Both were excellent!”
“Such a darling little cider house! Our first time there we went for the cheese and cider flight amd are planning on going back for many more of these events they will be hosting. Service was top notch even though they were busy, indoor & outdoor seating. Very clean 10/10 would ”
“Everthing from friendly, efficient service to food presentation and flavors were excellent. We were hoping for a quieter dining experience though. Still, we return here 2x yearly from Hawaii to enjoy Italian cuisine we can't quite get in the islands. Marzano is a definite recommendation!!”
“Vegetarian options: The tapioca pudding was vegan and DELICIOUS!Kid-friendliness: Tut took both of my grandsons, and they LOVED it! We shared about 4 small plates 1st, and WOW! Then all 5 of us shared our main courses, and they melted with every bite... literally!”
“This gelato is better than any gelato I had in Italy. <3 It is insanely smooth, full of flavor and has a long lasting taste in your mouth. I will be going back here over and over again. Keep up the AMAZING work!”
“Inside the Harley place is the nicest little Cafe ever, lovely ladies and food is so good will catch you by surprise! Get the shrimp and grits, and I'm from the ”
“The chicken and fries had me dancing while eating. It's SOOOO good. Do yourself a favor, go. Buddy's is an exceptional addition to the already rich legendary Lincoln District food landscape.”
“Vien Dong is a personal favorite of mine, and is basically a staple in my diet. I go every Friday with my mother, and have for about a year so far. And honestly? I can't eat Pho anywhere else anymore. The broth is pure magic. You can taste the love and attention that goes into every delicious bite of food. They love their customers, and have their usuals memorized (If they have one, anyway! Everything is SO delicious). And did I mention affordable? You can eat like a king without breaking the bank! And even if the restaurant is packed, the service is still incredibly quick. Such a beautiful restaurant, run by a lovely group of people. If you're like me and so many other people, you'll probably become a regular too. Give it a try. You deserve it.”
“** LOVE Curran Coffee**Curran Coffee is delicious! BONUS: food is good too. Ordered the Gemini Latte and bagel with garlic cream cheese spread. I always have bad luck with ordering food from coffee shops. It's usually generic. The bagel was hot, soft to bite into, and plenty of cream cheese. Could eat one right now. My Gemini Latte with oat milk was delish! It wasn't too sweet.It was busy when we went so get there early for seating. We lucked out when a couple left and found a table right by the window.Love that they are female owned and the owners were working which is a plus. They have a hands-on approach. This means they handle all customer complaints. As young as they are, you go girls!Can't wait to go back!Parking: Street parking which can be a pain.”
“On our way home, we sought a spot for a quick bite. Upon entering, we were greeted with warm smiles in this charming place. It being our first visit, the owner kindly suggested some options, sharing his favorites. Opting for the German Hoagie, we deferred to his topping preferences.Though initially planning to eat on the go, one bite of the German Hoagie convinced us otherwise. The amalgamation of flavors – meats, toppings, bread – demanded a moment to relish. We ended up savoring our meal in the parking lot, returning to express gratitude to the delightful couple (presumed owners). Undoubtedly, a place worth revisiting and recommending!”
“Absolutely the cutest lil coffee shop. The barista was so sweet and helpful. We need more people like her. The sweet saying on the lids of the coffee was much needed and loved today.Parking: It was easy to park mid day on a Saturday.”
“Really good. Had a reservation so getting seated was easy. We didn't have to wait long for food. I got the carne asada dish and it was delicious. We didn't drink alcohol so our taste buds were awake to taste..The only thing is parking wasn't fun.. couldn't find a spot.”
“I love Balcon! It’s my favorite quick bite spot in the neighborhood. I especially love the bean and cheese pupusa - I usually get two with extra slaw. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu tho - so happy this little local business opened up!”
“Completely unexpected. I happened to find it online while looking for something else, and we wondered why we had never tried it. From their menu and price points it's an upscale restaurant, but its location, and the building it's in, are very unassuming. (Very. We were having second thoughts by the time we parked.)Walking through the door, it doesn't look like the outside of the building suggests it should. We had made reservations, and I was glad because it was full. The dining area is basically one large room (remember, it's still working with the unassuming structure it lives in), but they had placed us in the lounge area which is slightly sectioned off from the rest of the space. But well-appointed, with a super professional waitstaff.The menu is very eclectic, and everything looked very good. We started with Deep Fried Brie (which was so delicious! It would make a great dessert, too, so don't count it out as a finisher). After thinking seriously about the Baked Mac & Cheese, I decided it might be too much cheese after the Brie, so I had the House Risotto, while Handsome had the Angus Burger, rare with smoked cheddar and a side salad. For libations I had the House Old Fashioned (a sweetly spiced take on a classic, I liked the hint of sweetness and will get this again), and Handsome had the Bourbon Mai Tai (not too sweet, so he had two!).We ate *everything,* and were full, so I decided to get the Campfire cocktail as my dessert (think s'mores, but in a cocktail form - it would be lighter than an actual dessert). Then Handsome decided he wanted to try their Carrot Cake, and it looked too delicious to pass up so I had some of that too. It doesn't say this in the menu description (look for the pictures), but their Carrot Cake is topped with crispy carrot curls, which were slightly sweetened. The effect of the slightly crispy curls with the cake and creamy frosting was worth it.Located in the Midland area of Tacoma, near Parkland. Excellent dinner ?️Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were clearly marked, and suitable for vegetarians who eat dairy. One or two of the options looked like they could easily be made vegan. The staff was friendly, so calling and asking about vegan options is a good idea.”
“As a big soup girly, Infinite Soups is my heaven. We took 5 soups home to try a variety but these were my favorites: (1) Chicken Gorgonzola Tortellini (2) Pot Roast (3) 3 Cheese Potato.The pricing seems an absolute steal for the quality and everything was piping hot.I also so appreciated how friendly the staff was and the ability to sample before choosing!10/10 would recommend and will be back very soon!!!”
“What a great place!! First time here and the food and service were phenomenal! Chef Shawn came to our table (as well as the other tables) to see how we were doing. It’s the personal touch that I enjoyed the most. I had the ‘My Native Roots” and my husband had the ‘The ‘Tiny’ Burrito’. Don’t let the name fool you! We will be definitely be back in the very near future!”
“Hidden gem. A little hidden in a parking lot, so if you're just driving down the street, you'll miss it, but I always get great customer service, and the coffee is good with even better prices! The set up is really awkward when a line begins to form, it can get confusing. They do have a walk up so you can order ahead and skip the line??”
“Great new spot in town the spicy pork box was really good and a big portion definitely a two meal dish. The popcorn chicken was also good the garlic soy is legit. If you like kfc give this place a try.”
“Delicious drinks and breakfast! Very attentive bartenders . First time visiting this morning the fast service and quality of drinks and food were outstanding excellent!!!Thank you !!! I’ll be back for sure !”
“I normally never write reviews for places till late in the game but if you don’t know about this spot, now you know!Aight, this is a legit no frills type of spot when you first step in but after you take a look around, you’re hit with nostalgia, amazing smells, and a vibe.The menu is definitely fun to read, they serve alcoholic drinks which I missed the first go around (got a chance to taste a mimosa, #blessed) coffee and juice as well.Idk what type of coffee beans they use for the drip coffee but I was thinking about it all day! I added cream and sugar but the coffee was coming all the way through! I did not need either addition to the coffee.The orange juice was so fresh, tasty, and had the perfect consistency!Food presentation was on a 1000, and the biscuits and gravy (original) are next level! I also had a side of bacon - which I am so pleased that I did not ask for it to be well cooked (normally I would) but it came out cooked to perfection.I will definitely be back to try more dishes because Side Piece Kitchen elevated what would be a basic dish in most restaurants. You order it for comfort and it delivered.I completely regret not ordering a to-go dessert like I peeped everyone else with… I was just trying watch my own calorie intake for the day… I will not leave without a dessert next time. I’d rather run more laps!”
“Situated in the food court area of the famous Freighthouse Square in Tacoma, WA is Little India Express. The Freighthouse has seen better days and used to be filled with tons of tiny little shops filled with imported trinkets and antiques or art. They had hobby stores and a myriad other boutique shops. On top of that, they have a food court. It has also seen better days but the food vendors are probably keeping this entire establishment afloat. Inside you'll find a burger joint, a fish and chips place, a Mexican restaurant complete with rooftop seating and a full bar, a mediterranean spot and then there's Little India. I was actually on the hunt for some Indian food this day and I found them here on Yelp. Someone's review had pleaded with readers to please check this place out and to be honest, when I saw the plethora of other choices, I almost changed my mind. Ultimately, I settled in on Little India and I was pleasantly surprised! My wife previously worked with an Indian man whose wife would prepare traditional Indian dinner every single night. He would bring leftovers to work and shared them with my wife. She brought some home and I tried it and it was amazing but from that point on, my wife would compare every Indian place to that food and nothing ever measured up. Until... Little India Express checked all of the boxes and we now have our GO TO Indian restaurant. The portions were bigger than I had expected and they don't skimp on the meat. I'm used to ordering chicken tikka masala and getting a quart of sauce with 6 small pieces of chicken. This was not the case at Little India. The food tasted fresh and was seasoned well. You can order your heat level from 1 to 5 and the flavors are all present and accounted for. Our bellies were filled up and satisfied when we finished our lunch. Our only complaint with the food was that the naan was thin and crispy instead of light and fluffy. The flavor was good but it was like having a large cracker instead of flat bread. The only other complaint was that the Mexican restaurant projects the worst music on the planet from the absolute worst speaker ever created and the entire food court has to endure the torture of the assault on their eardrums but I can't fault Little India Express for that. If you're in the Tacoma area or passing by looking for some good eats, I highly recommend stopping in for some Indian cuisine. I seriously doubt that you'll be disappointed. Pro tip: Freighthouse Square does have washrooms however, they are not clean, they are not updated and they are not maintained well at all so make sure you don't need to use the facilities before you stop in.”
“What? Nepalese dishes at the Tacoma Mall food court? If you close your eyes and focus on the taste, you may find yourself transported to a street market in Katmandu, My wife kept seeing Food Network chefs rave about momo and other Himalayan street foods. She was very pleased with herself for finding this spot so close to home. Momo is kind of a steamed stuffed dumpling popular not only in Nepal but neighboring Tibet, India, and Bhutan. The Nepalese family who operate Momo King put their very English-proficient and friendly adult son at the register. We've tried butter chicken momo, fried pork momo, and coco chicken momo, and I had the mango lassi to drink. Yummy all around. You can eat momo as finger food or with a fork. We'll be back.”
