For a super casual, yummy, local, rice bowl situation Miso is great. The staff had always been…read morefriendly, and the place is always clean. I recently went in for their 9th Anniversary when they were offering any of their bowls for $9. It was pretty busy for dinner, but the staff made short work of the line. They always give heaping portions I can usually get two meals out of them. My favorite is the steak, but I get the tuna sometimes. You can't go wrong.

Very quiet as no one was here eating in the minimal seating arrangements that felt a bit tight... it felt awkward for me at first, but staff was so welcoming and personable in their interactions with Jaric and me when we ordered at the front. Service was quick, too, and better than chipotle with their servings. Fish and meats were fresh, which was unexpected on my end for this place. It was such a good surprise. Plenty of parking at the square that this spot is located in. Outside seating arrangements available, too. Made for good leftovers when I went to work the next day.

I recently visited Bulgogi Hustle for the first time after work with my boss. We were both starving…read moresince we hadn't really eaten all day and were craving something Asian. This spot happened to pop up as a nearby Google recommendation, so we decided to give it a try. Maybe it was the hunger talking, but the food tasted **absolutely spectacular** for something so simple! I ordered the K-Town Combo, which comes with two proteins, japchae, lettuce, and rice with curry all layered nicely in a bowl. I chose bulgogi and marinated pork with the Hot spice level, and everything sat on top of the lettuce, japchae noodles, and curry rice with a drizzle of sauce. It was seriously so good--flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what I needed after a long day. The restaurant itself is very small, with just a handful of tables that look like wooden benches, and there's no restroom, so it definitely feels more like a quick casual spot than a full sit-down restaurant. When we arrived around 6:30 PM, the place was empty, and we ended up chatting and eating until around 8:30 PM when they were about to close. It never got overly busy, though a few customers came in and out throughout the evening, so it seems like a pretty casual, low-key vibe. One thing that did throw me off was finding the place. I came from the direction of the roundabout and somehow struggled to spot it--maybe I was just tired. Parking wasn't too bad overall, but I think I may have approached from the wrong direction when I tried to park in front. I'll be honest--I didn't really pay attention to the cleanliness because I was too focused on enjoying the food. I didn't get sick and I left feeling full and happy, so overall I'd say it was a great experience. My only real gripe was how difficult it was for me to find, but the food alone makes me want to come back and try more from the menu.

Little condiments given, which sucks, because that is what makes the whole meal...saved it, even. Also got the Korean burrito, which was soooo deep fried that the taste of the breading overtook whatever the filling was supposed to taste like. The fried breading was so overdone that it hurt my teeth to bite through and chew it. The staff also had no wrapping foil to use, so they put it in a cup? Bro, WHAT?! I can barely get this thing out of the cup to eat. It was so bad. Genuinely. Maybe it is on me for trying to give a chance to Asian food in Lacey. No need to. Prove myself wrong on my preconceived notions. But, would not visit here again unless it is for the spicy mayonnaise mustard whatever condiment. Only good thing from this whole restaurant. Staff is also so lost in the sauce that you have to reiterate your order. Very small restaurant with not much parking. Only like 3 tables with 2 chairs each, so better to take to-go so you could eat elsewhere... maybe at a nearby park or something. No motion in this restaurant, fr

Then I saw their TikTok last night, and let me tell you, that video had me craving it instantly. The scrumptiousness was living rent free in my brain all night, so today my son and I had to stop in and see what the hype was about. We ordered the Sour Diesel, the Fire, and the Afgoo, all on their toasted jalapeño cheese bread. First of all, the female employee who helped us was so friendly and welcoming. We do not eat out much, so we were genuinely excited and maybe a little impatient to try them. When they handed us the sandwiches, I immediately noticed how heavy they were. And the smell in the car on the way home, oh my goodness. Pure torture waiting to unwrap them. Then we got home and opened them up, and I was honestly shocked in the best way. There was actually a MEAL on that bread. Not one of those sad sandwiches that's 80 percent lettuce and air. These were loaded. My teenage son even commented on how good his was, and trust me, teen approval is not handed out lightly. The portions were generous, the flavors were bold, and each sandwich was totally unique and delicious. I can confidently say I have found a new favorite sub spot. Total hidden gem if you love a good sandwich that actually fills you up and tastes incredible. I did not grab a shake this time because it was freezing outside, but after seeing all the flavor options on the menu, I will absolutely be trying one next visit. Highly recommend in every aspect. I love when you try somewhere new and it completely exceeds expectations. This one is a must try.

Food: perfectly crisp edges, melted cheese and grilled onions with burger sauce on a soft but sturdy bun. The burgers were very good. I would suggest a bigger shake of salt & pepper, but the taste of being smashed onto sliced onions gave them a delicious flavor. The menu is a bit unusual with an eclectic selection of foods, including Birria and chicken tacos, Korean bulgogi, shawarma, variations of fries, shakes, lemonades, Mexican corn, egg rolls and more. Too much for my choices but the smash burgers are reason enough to come here. We had water with our meal because a soda was nearly $5! Service: order and pay at the counter and your food is delivered as soon as it's prepared. The family staff provides efficient, friendly service. Ambiance: nothing to write home about, but there are plenty of tables to dine in the restaurant. The TV was playing a movie that nobody seemed to be watching. I would have preferred a baseball game or just some decent music. If I'm in the mood for a smash burger, but don't want to make it at home, this will be my go-to place.

Mid afternoon they get a large number of children being brought in with their parents for an afterschool meal. 2. They seem to get a large amount of take out orders.

Obviously the prices have go e up, but this is still the best value of any of the local pizza restaurants, and of course every pizza is customized to the customers wants, so don't be afraid to ask for mare of anything on you pie. Lastly, the patio is a very pleasant place to leisurely dine, weather permitting.
