    Terrible, inedible food. Chicken just disintegrated into a mushy jelly. Don't waste your time and money here. Won't be back.

    After being stuck in some terrible weather and traffic today, I knew there was no way I was gonna be cooking dinner. Made a stop here since it was on the way. Not high quality food, but oh soooooo gooooooood. $8-something for a dragon meal (two entrees plus fried rice and chow mean). Perfect for a night like tonight! Teriyaki chicken, general tso's, honey sesame chicken, etc etc. Feeling super bloated right now, but I don't regret it one bit. :)

    Panda Express kind of layout

    I'm from LA and I've been looking for a basic fast food Chinese take-out spot in Seattle. This place is exactly what I was looking for. Their hot and sour soup is really tasty! I also ordered the 2-entree meal with all fried rice, general tsao's chicken, and spicy chili chicken. The fried rice is good, general tsao's chicken is more like Orange chicken, and spicy chili chicken is excellent. I'd go back just for the soup! Next time I'd also like to try their egg rolls and teriyaki chicken; both looked really good. I'll definitely be returning!

    Cafeteria/Deli style Chinese food. Huge portions that taste good at a good price. Can't complain. A-OK

    Lots of food!  We'll see how it tastes!

Bizarre. We took a gander at the menu and it's very minimal, similar to In N Out (Burgers, fries, shakes, etc). The prices are very reasonable for the area. Here are some things that are unreasonable: * No substitutions, changes, or requests are allowed. One in our group asked for no mayonnaise. He was very abruptly shut down. But someone else in our group asked for no cheese and for some reason they were okay with that. * Most of us ordered the "deluxe" cheeseburger meal with a shake. The portion sizes are super, extra small. Like comically tiny, as if we had ordered the junior kids meal. The drink, shake, burger, and fries were very Junior. But all the food tasted good One in our group came up with a phrase after we left that felt pretty fitting of our experience there. "We done got SHAKE SHACKED up in here!" Meaning, for what you pay at Shake Shack, they give you pretty small portions. Although, Dick's gives you even smaller portion than they do.

    this sandwich was highly impressive as the main part of the…read moresandwich, it was pretty necessary that the pork be cooked to near-perfection, and i have to say it was here it gave off a deep, brown-ish color, which showed the extent of it's cooking and marination. It wasn't quite incredibly tender, but the marinade added an absolute ton of flavor. more importantly, it was present plentifully throughout the sandwich, so practically every bite came filled with pork I also have to mention how packed together the ingredients are between the buns. when you start eating, it's inevitable that a quarter of the ingredients will fall onto the wrap below, leaving a nice secondary meal to finish off after the sandwich is done. the sandwich is packed incredibly tight during the wrapping process, but it unravels a bit while eating. for me, the major highlights of this meal was the onions and the aioli Starting with the onions, these may be the best I've ever had on a sandwich. They're caramelized amazingly, placed onto the sandwich in astoundingly large pieces, are crunchy, and there's just a lot of them. They're just wonderful both texturally and taste-wise. This sandwich is absolutely lathered with aioli - practically dripping with it. This boosted the overall flavor so much, especially because this aioli was addictingly good. In my experience, the amount of sauce has been directly proportional to how much I enjoyed a sandwich, and when the sauce is this good - it's even on the top of the bun! - i absolutely loved it Somehow the lettuce stayed crunchy despite all the otherwise wetness going on in the sandwich. Props for that The jalapenos were great as well for that extra bit of spicy - I would've loved to have more of them while the bread was toasted well, the one downside was i thought it was pretty hard and tough, which made chewing kind of difficult. I found my jaw to be pretty tired at the end after eating this. I would've much preferred a softer roll that's easier to bite into I've had similar sandwiches from Paseo and Bongos, and in my opinion this does edge out both of those Comparing to Paseo, the sandwich there has way more oil, making it more sloppy and I do like the bread there a lot better, but the pork feels richer and better marinated here (although less fatty), and the onions are definitely caramelized better here as well. Bongos has a pretty similar level of pork with more, but onions are definitely a step down What moves this place above those two for me is the amount of aioli used here far exceeds those other places, which just makes the overall eating experience better For the price (about 14 dollars) this is a really filling meal

    Overall: it was good, but nothing special…read more I got the Caribbean scallops entree with rice and beans on the recommendation of the guy at the counter, to go. The beans were passable, super watery and not especially flavorful. The scallops were cooked perfectly but there weren't that many of them. The star was the sauce the scallops were in: this was actually quite good. Overall was okay but doesn't spur me to go back. Maybe other dishes here are better.

You order at the window on North side of the shop and pickup at the window on the South side of the shop. There used to be limited indoor seating but that is no more. There are, however, a couple of outdoor picnic tables which is better than nothing. Definitely a take out place. I had the original with Cheese Wiz. They double wrap the sandwich in foil and butcher paper and if you include the paper bag it comes in, you have a triple wrapped mound of yumminess! The steak is chopped finely and the Wiz is oozing all over the sandwich. They cook it to order so it is piping hot when you open it and it smells wonderful. The bun surrounds the contents pretty well but as with this type of sandwich it can get messy quickly. Definitely use caution. Always a crowd here and everyone looks happy with anticipation of the arrival of their coveted cheesesteak (especially me!). Give this place a try and you won't be sorry.

Every bite was super cheesy and meaty. It was absolutely delicious. I could only eat half of it and save the other half for the next day. Honestly, it tasted better when you toast it in the air fryer to get that crispy bun. Otherwise the buns were soggy. Highly recommend trying this place!

The burger diameter is a bit larger than you'd expect from your typical carry-out drive in burger, and was a seeded sesame bun. The patty was well done and decently juicy - it seemed good but I feel like it's more for the nostalgic vibes and something about it gives comforting cafeteria/drive in feels over say, a high-end burger or thick patty. Toppings were fresh and the special sauce is pretty good. The onion rings were amazing! I can see what the fuss is about. It's a thick, crunchy coating that absorbs the umami and onion aroma from big, juicy onion rings and a light dusting of peppery kick. They stayed crispy over the course of an hour too. I ordered online and did takeout, and the food was still fresh even though it had probably been waiting for a couple of min. There is a parking lot but on a Thurs night it was full.

The restaurant itself leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm not asking too much. I believe the owner said he was trying to revamp the place. I hope that the area comes alive in the future years, that should help. Here's the issue though, this is the slowest spot ever. I've waited 30 minutes for fries - FRIES. I don't mind waiting for food, but it should remain reasonable. There were only two or three people working, and one man did tell us this, but I need to be honest - this was on Super Bowl Sunday. No one was able to get anyone a beer from the tap for 40 minutes, the food took forever and it appeared that online orders were being prioritized (which makes sense, you make as you get orders coming in, but that puts your in person customers in an odd and sometimes frustrating position). To be honest, I probably wouldn't have minded as much if I just had some fries to snack on. I didn't mind as much this one time because I was just happy to find a place to watch the Super Bowl Half Time show, but other days, it's a little hard to look past. I wish this business the best, I live too close to not hope for its improvement! Looking forward to updating my review. At the end of the day, if you're hungry, it's late, this is your spot.

For $19, I shouldn't have to assemble my own sandwich -- especially after being told you didn't even have the main ingredient. Just be upfront with customers.
