“I had a steak and my husband had the crawfish boil. The prawns were huge. The salad was crispy and fresh. The steak was perfect. The server was attentive. We will definitely be going back. Thank you!”
“very good food but sub par server. she told us we had to cash out ticket out 30 mins before they closed and never came back. apparently she was off shift so we had to flag down another server”
“We had our holiday party at Bruno’s and the food and service were fabulous!! The food is authentic, great, and the experience was memorable! Recommend Bruno’s 100 percent!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Our favorite place now! My order: Unagi (nigiri), Vegetable Tempura, Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special. Dad's oder: Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special and 5 order of maguro to go. The unagi was the best i have had in over 10 years. The tempura was light, crunchy and flavorful. My Dad is very particular about food and I am known to order the same item over and over. I have been trying different things and pleased with each one here. Everything was as good as it could possibly be. So happy!”
“The food here is fine but they are unbelievably slow. My grandson waited 25 minutes for a piece of pie. We have been several times and it is always the same. Wait,wait!,”

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant, hands down. The food is simply the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried a lot of Thai cuisine. The warm, homey atmosphere adds to the experience, making it truly top-tier. While seating is limited, don’t let that steer you away—this place is absolutely worth a visit.”
“I had such a great experience at Carl’s Jr! Jose A, Cody and Jose G provided amazing service — they were friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend”
“My family just had an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G dining experience here! The food and service were top-notch! The owner whipped up the best drink I’ve ever had! Plus, the menu has many unique and delicious dishes you won’t find anywhere else. We will surely come back here again to try more dishes!
Don’t miss out on this gem in Tacoma ?”
“Black Bear Diner in Lakewood catered for my husband‘s retirement party on Saturday, at McChord Air Force Base, and they did an amazing job! Stacey was fantastic and helped me every step of the way! We ordered their pot roast and mashed potatoes dinner for our 45 guests and it tasted amazing! All our guests loved it! ♥️”
“We just moved to the local area and found this place. True to other reviews it had good vegan options, with a section on the menu for tofu dishes and one for vegetable dishes. I had Tofu Kung Pao, next time I’ll try the Mongolian Tofu or one of the vegetable dishes. Friendly prompt service, nice casual atmosphere.”
“The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We came in for an early dinner but by the time we left the place was packed! Ppl clearly love this hidden gem!”
“Steeped in Comfort Bakery is an absolute gem! Their baked goods are fresh and delicious, with a great variety to choose from. The sandwiches are thoughtfully made, packed with flavor, and perfect for a quick lunch or a leisurely meal. The real standout is their High Tea Sunday Brunch – such a charming experience with amazing treats. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere is warm and inviting. If you’re looking for a spot that does it all, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!”

“Always delightful. I wasn't really happy with my scallop fetucini because it was not the large scallops. The other people's entres looked excellent and the recipients raved.”
“My favorite vegetarian pho! Must try if you haven't already! Cutest entry way gardens too!”
“So good y'all
I did a pick up order for a client yesterday and when I walked in, I immediately knew I'd be back for my own food. Today I went in, got a recommendation from the very sweet woman behind the counter. Spicy Tuna, Shrimp and I added the Unagi.
I had full intentions on saving half for later and now I'm sat here with an empty bowl ?
The veggies are really fresh and crispy, the dried pork ? omg lol I am so happy with this meal, and the level of happy, I would have spent more. ?
The price is really fair and not for nothin, might actually be low. The bowl is large, the servings and portions for each topping are generous and I don't think it's possible to create a bad combination. Chefs Kiss.
I love it and it will now be my weekly treat when I'm working”
“Excellent place as the Owner is very personable with his customers. I appreciate and love the food mainly because of the quality of the food. It is inexpensive and usually pay about 2-300 $ a other Island stores. So the price is awesome. I know the hard work of owning a business not to mention the inflation but Glory be unto God you are sincere and serve your community with love. Thank you for always taking care of us and on holidays as well. God bless your business. Fa'afetai lave.”
“This place is a family favorite. Prices are near $20 per plate. The portions are generous and delicious. Chips and salsa are a part of the table service. The servers are very attentive, not intrusive. A picky child in our group devoured the cilantro and lime chicken burrito.”

“Very friendly and extremely quick and efficient. I'm glad to have stopped by before running away back home on the plane. My older brother kept begging me to go, but I'm just happy we got to hang out, get some smoothies, and have a great conversation with the barista.
I had the Peach smoothie, and it was fire. I definitely need some more of the drinks! Wished I ordered their food after leaving.”
“did a mobile order, forgot to check the bag (my fault), and when i got home i saw there was no onions on my burger. i called and randy the manager let me know he could remake the entire order for me if i bring the food back. he was super understanding, and i honestly didnt even think he would do that for me.
very grateful he was willing to fix my order!”
“Tacoma Szechuan is a standard favourite of ours, but it's getting more and more expensive (or so it feels!). We ordered delivery and got the beef chow fun, dried cooked string beans, tofu with hot garlic sauce, and one steamed rice. It was 70$ (with delivery and tip)!! The green beans were AMAZING and the tofu and beef were good, but it was too expensive for us to consider eating there twice in a trip.”
“The BBQ is not those kind that cooks in front of you instead they cooked before serving. Taste is also average. Cold noodles are delicious and refreshing. I like the atmosphere of the place, it's private and quiet.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Thong Thai Restaurant is a real gem! The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is friendly and fast. The location is easy to find. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious! A couple members of our family have celiac disease, so we're cautious and picky about dining out. This is a trusted place that never disappoints. We came here to celebrate two birthdays. This business is family owned and run. Once you experience the food, it will become one of your favorite places, too!”
“This is the best Teriyaki restaurant in the state. I drive from Lacey WA. just to get it. I always get spicy chicken number 4. For the money the portions are amazing compared to what other restaurants will give you. Yes the building is not very nice and its cramped in the restaurant but the food is SO worth it.”
“The burgers here are quite good, and made with fresh ingredients. The counter person was incredibly polite and friendly. The restaurant was clean, except for a greasy sheen on things like the ketchup bottle and the bathroom doorknob. Overall, a tasty addition to the Lakewood Mall area”
“Great neighborhood grill. Food was very good as well as the service. Prices are quite reasonable. Worth your while for a quick meal and a beer and conveniently located.”
“Whoever said in the reviews that this is the best Korean fried chicken place around was absolutely right. Our last fav has unexpectedly closed and while this is further, it's definitely worth the drive. We got the plain chicken and the honey garlic chicken. We also got a cheese dog and a seafood green onion pancake. Everything was soooooo so good. I had never had a cheese dog before but I am now a convert. The seafood pancake was perfect, crispy and not oily. Now the chicken, OMG even the plain was delicious, crispy, and NOT SWIMMING IN GREASE. As a testament to the food quality, we often have horrible bloat and some GI upset after eating fried chicken due to the grease (even at our favorite place it was a regular occurrence) but that did not happen here. Not only that, the chicken kept well and was still good 2 days later.”
“It was my partner and I first time there and everything was amazing really nice people great service they would check up on us on how we were doing or if we need anything the food was well seasoned there is nothing bad to say about this place it’s just perfect and amazing we will be back here again I would recommend this place to my friends and family”

“La comida extraordinaria, pero ayer en nuestra visita nos sentimos muy incomodos, deberian ser claros con sus horarios de servicio, llegamos a las 8:10 cuando indican q cierran a las 9 y solo se nos permitió pedir para llevar, sin condimentos suficientes al llegar a casa. Unos clientes antes q nosotros tuvieron q comer afuera en el frio porque tampoco se les permitió adentro. Siempre habia tenido una muy buena experiencia porque la comkda es realmente buena pero anoche si fue muy incomodo.... Cabe mencionar que salimos con nuestro pedido listo a las 8:30pm media hora antes del Cierre marcado.... Ojo ahí con la atención al público... BELLINGHAM.”
“Fantastic!
I cannot recommend this establishment enough. The food is amazing, fresh flavors and so fast too! Every time I get a craving for pho I always get excited knowing I can stop by for a sensational bowl or have it delivered!
Definitely a must try in Lakewood!”
“The ONLY reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is due to price. My iced coffee, a 16oz with caramel/cream/sugar, cost $6.70. To me, that is pricey for a simple iced coffee. HOWEVER, the customer service is amazing. The staff are kind and patient. I even heard them greeting customers by their names, which shows how they provide positive experiences and retain customers. This has been the best tasting iced coffee I’ve had within the Lakewood/JBLM area. Instead of going to Starbucks or Dutch Bros, I recommend stopping by Cutter’s Point for quality coffee & customer service.”
“Great pizza some of the best I've had since living here for over 30 years. But the service was horrible . Brianna i think that was her her name was. I get being busy but she forgot our salads, remined her and she basically shrugged her shoulders as if i was putting her out. One of the worst servers I've had in a long time, she could care less about our table or her job. I'll be back because the pizza was that good . I'll just be sure to not sit in her section.”

“Pollo mole was amazing. My cousin brought me here yesterday and I'm back again today! Staff is very friendly, and you can tell how popular the place is because the to go orders are constant. Dining area is small and simple but has a friendly and authentic feel. Highly recommend!”
“I am a connoisseur of Mexican cuisine and my home I always fry my shells thanks to my Orpilla family but recently I have been on a crunchy taco kick and my friend showed up and brought me out to Tacoma and we had a hard time finding a place that was open because it's Easter so he took me to Mazatlan on South Tacoma Way and it is amazing in here. Right now they are giving my prior experience a run for its money this place is awesome!!”
“One of our favorite place to get pho. They have nice staff.
They are nice to people who have disability.
Had great time with family.
We left Ho Soon Yi Restaurant, Korean Restaurant due to Rude, hostile and disrespect and harsh tone of restaurant waitress when we enter restaurant. That is when we decided to go to this restaurant. Good atmosphere and good food.
Thank you for your service❤️
We decided we will NEVER support

“So good I have the enchiladas one ground beef and one chicken so good”
“love the mala hot! if you like spicy chicken this is one of the greatest hidden gems of Federal Way. a bit pricey at regular price, but they are always running specials. Definitely my go-to place for spicy chicken anywhere between Seattle and Tacoma.”
“This is authentic Korean food. Extremely different tasting in some ways. Very fishy 🐟 🤔
If your not sure, then stick to the chicken. Jack in the box is on the corner... The place is packed with Koreans eating there all the time.”
“Management and staff handled the free wing 3 hour thing amazingly! I went in at 4:30 and they had my order ready in 15 minutes despite a thousand people being at this small location. The staff was friendly and patient and did their best to keep orders organized and keep everything clean. Absolutely amazing!”
Latest Reviews
“The food is good, BUT in that past year they have become SOoooo EXPENSIVE and its NOT worth the money any longer. The portions used to be larger and now they barely fill their boxes. Not going back because of those reasons. They need to drop the prices again and add more food to boxes again.”
“Thong Thai Restaurant is a real gem! The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is friendly and fast. The location is easy to find. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious!

“The food is never disappointing. However, at least twice a week we get the same thing, vegetable fried rice and honey walnut shrimp with extra cabbage. You can never go wrong with these two meals. They use fresh chopped vegetables NOT frozen. They give you a lot of it. It’s enough for 3-4 people. The shrimp is never over cooked with a tasty coating. The candied walnuts are plentiful. The sauce is so good, we started requesting extra shredded cabbage. These two dishes are never disappointing.”

“The beer selection is second to none in the area. The breakfast sandwiches are so good I cannot stop thinking about them. I had the egg salad sandwich with arugula and a delicious wasabi sauce that paired so well with a delicious Pilsner from Melvin brewing. I also had the walk of shame sandwich and the cheese and chives were the perfect combination and exactly what you are looking for in a breakfast sandwich. The buns they use here are of noticeable quality hold up well to the hearty sandwiches. The staff here is also very friendly and makes you feel like a regular even if you are 300 miles from home.”
“We had a great visit to Manic Meatballs. The bacon wrapped meatballs are still in my head. I was impressed with the smokyness of the green beans. I loved the sweet baked beans and the dark-cooked, homemade applesauce! I liked the high-end, special brand of soda on the fountain too. We want to come back soon!”
“Really enjoyed our lunch here. Sushi was very fresh and tasty. The service was excellent and we look forward to returning.
