    Solid food option if you're craving Hawaiian food. The inside has a cool vibe and I love when a restaurant or cafe has an upstairs seating area. You can either sit at the bar or there are some larger tables for big groups at the front of the restaurant and some smaller tables upstairs. None of the food was the best version of the item that I've ever had but everything was good. Looks like they've got a great patio section for the three months of the year that aren't grey and rainy!

    Bleh... first time and pretty sure it's my last. Service was good, they have a parking lot and the place is clean, which is good. The food....my first impression when I went to pick up my order: WTH is this???? Food for 5 people serve in paper bowls and to go containers AND it all fit on a small tray???!!!! I was very disappointed. Taste: Everyone thought it was fine. Our order: 2 Moco Locos, 2 kid's quesadillas, and 1 chicken plate lunch.

    Nice and quiet air-conditioned place to stop by when it's hot outside if you're in the area. All of the food was good with friendly staff, and I appreciated how clean it was in there.

    The taste was good but the food wasn't as warm as I expected. The meat was luke warm but the flavor is there.

    Chicken and waffles
    Christine L.

    First time coming here after the renovation/rebrand from Super Six! My friend and I came for brunch around 10am on a Sunday and there was plenty of seating available. It's open seating now, like the other Marination location downtown! You order food at the counter and give your number -- they text you when the food is ready and you pick it up at a window at the far end of the restaurant. It only took about 5 mins for me to get the text for my chicken and waffles. I've had it before at Super Six, and it really hit the spot. I love the creativity of the HK bubble waffle! But the chicken was somewhat hard to eat-- the crispy texture was a bit tougher to chew than expected and it was a bit dry inside. To order drinks, you have to go separately to the bar. I loved the lychee margarita. The frosé was good as well but a little sweet. The staff is all super duper nice :) we hung out for almost 2 hours eating and drinking. They didn't hurry us at all, and came to clear our plates/drinks multiple times. It started getting more crowded around 11:30 -- I think partially due to the Seahawks game. There are big TVs at the bar for you to watch the game! I'll definitely be back. So glad it's reopened!

    Coconut Malasadas and pork katsu sliders from happy hour
    Ngoc R.

    Nice spot for happy hour but limited selections. The jalapeno fizz drink was good but not strong. Got the coconut malasada but wish it was the mango instead. Sliders tasted good but I probably wouldn't order it again had it not been for happy hour. I do enjoy the location, as there's plenty of parking, outdoor seating, additional seats upstairs and seats with street views. I think this would be a fun spot for groups!

    Fish and chips with a ginger beer

    Marination Station has opened it's latest in Columbia City. Go up to the counter, order what you like, and give them your phone number. Find a seat at the bar, the large tables downstairs, or one of the 4 person tables upstairs. When your order is ready, you'll get a text to pick it up at the kitchen windows near the bottom of the stairs. I've always liked Marination Station sliders, but today I decided to try the fish and chips. The fish was panko-crusted and tasty. The chips were thick and cooked just right, not too crisp or squishy. It came with two mini sets of miso-ginger tartar sauce, which was fantastic! Once I ran out, the rest of the meal was slightly disappointing. A bit of cole slaw would have added some nice variation in taste, temperature, and texture. The self-serve makes service much faster and more casual than the old Super Six. I'm still not sure if it's an up or downgrade, but I left happy.

    The food (fish and chips and a pork katsu sandwich) was okay, nothing mind-blowing. Make sure you get a selfie with Jason Momoa!

    Pleasantly surprised to see Marination in Columbia City! You order at the bar/counter, and you pick it up once the buzzer buzz. The food was delicious and perfect for the warm weather. I loved the Cole slaw and mac salad. I thought the Korean bulgogi and spice goes really well with the more subtle and quiet flavors of the slaw and Mac salad. It was good combination.

    Pretty quick service with indoor and outdoor seating. Grab your own water & utensils at the counters. Food was delicious and crispy!

    fish sando
    Michael C.

    I tried Super Six before and didn't love it, but wanted to give it another shot since its reopening as Marination. Sadly, it was a total miss for me. I went with the fish sando, which seemed great on paper but lazily put together. The miso tartar sauce was ice cold, the cheese was completely unmelted and the bun seemed like it was pulled straight out of a bag. The fish was fried well, but felt out of place with everything else. We also had the tocino bowl, which was flat out disastrous. As another reviewer pointed out, the fried rice sat in a pool of oil. How did they manage to do that? I didn't pick up of any of the advertised garlic flavors either. I have to add that the restaurant design feels awkward. We initially sat at the high tops by the window, but found they were way too close to the communal benches. Like, butts-next-to-your-head close. I recommend the bar instead.

    Updated review from 2 Months ago…read more.. I've been back roughly 6 times from my previous review of Kona Kitchen. Then it was too many staff, not many customers and it was difficult to get service, that has been improved upon. They are nice and attentive when they see you. Service was normal, the wait staff came around and offered more beverage. This time it was still slow period, so what gives it only 3 stars instead of more? It's the fact that the main door the employee use to go into the kitchen to give their orders to the cooks had cob webs on the top of the door.i mean everyone of them walk through that door hundreds of times throughout the week because I could tell it's been there for some time. Where's the food inspector, should be a concern because if it's there in full view of customers and employees, what else is happening as far as cleanliness at Kona Kitchen. I will be there within two or three days and wonder if the cobweb will still be a fixture there... it's something that is annoying because nobody's done anything about it. Amazing.

Thankfully dine-in is back open again, so we got here on a Saturday morning around 11:20am to indoor seating that was nearly full and a small line that was forming at the front counter. Walls have a bunch of photo frames, and overall place felt very homely. They have a ton of Hawaiian style plates and even burgers and some seafood, though we and most others got the former to eat. I ordered their chicken and pork combo Hawaiian style plate, and my bestie got their chicken katsu Hawaiian style plate. Portions are huge for both plates and both also came with macaroni salad. They give you sooooo much meat no matter what you get. To go in slightly more detail: - Chicken and pork combo: both meats were flavored very well, and a little sweet too though pretty salty without using the rice as a palette cleanser. Chicken had more depth in its flavor; the pork's flavor was a little too much for my liking, and was slightly harder to chew. Both meats had some sauce hat went onto the rice itself. This didn't detract from my overall experience here, though. - Chicken katsu: we both agreed this was our favorite after exchanging pieces of each other's dish. The katsu is crispy and crunchy, and the chicken itself retained a lot of its juiciness. Katsu sauce on the side is honestly optional since the meat itself is already salty enough. This place does share extremely limited parking with Cakes of Paradise next door, so get here early or be prepared to drive around the area to find some. Just get here, it's a place you can't pass up when you hit up Georgetown!

I would have to say the most thing I enjoyed the most was the chili pepper water, it added the tanginess that the chicken needed and I was very pleased with the spice level. I am used to spice but this had a kick to it. I wish they sold the chili pepper water in bottles I would have loved to take more home! Can't wait to try their saimin and more items on the menu.

Scuba divers, families and tourist can be seen nearly every day of the week. The view of Downtown at night over the water is breathtaking. Marinations offers a simply menu, and there is something on the menu for everyone. I had the Kimchi rice and added miso ginger chicken to it. They make a few drinks and I had the giner guava juice. You place your order at the counter and pick it up at the counter or in the back with the seating is. The seating in the back is tables and benches with umbrella with a first come first serve approach. Your order will be called for pickup in the back if you are dining at the place. The employees are polite and quick, and helpful when ordering. The fried kimchi was a delight. Now, I'm use to kimchi being more on the spicy side with heat from peppers used to make it, but this was mild to a little heat. The miso ginger chicken was a great add on and made the rice that much more enjoyable. I love the egg on top as well. The guava ginger drink is good enough to drink everyday. I love the bold peppery taste of ginger followed by the calm sweet guava. Parking is a challenge as this place is at the end of the water taxi that is always busy. The area always has scuba divers, cyclists and runners.
