    Chicken teriyaki.. supposedly.
    Huong L.

    I have to say, I was fairly disappointed with this place. I came for lunch and got the teriyaki dish which came with chicken, pork, some veggies, 2 potstickers and rice. First off, they gave a LOT of rice and a very very small side of the main entree. Second, the rice was very dry and bland. I was only able to eat half of it because it needed the meat for it to be edible and since I was out of entree, I couldn't finish the rice. Third, it was not teriyaki. It was like Kung Pao chicken but not as good either. I also couldn't tell which was chicken and which was pork. Lastly, at the bottom of the entree is a pool of oil... Definitely will not be coming back here for lunch. I rather just go to panda Express or a fast food chain for food.

    Seattle Club sandwich

    It's a convenient convenience store that is located at the bottom of an apartment building, so if you live nearby you can come by at your convenience for convenient items. Located at the corner of Republican & Pontius under the Stack House Apartments. Came by midday on Saturday because I was in the area, stopped by to get a sandwich and a drink. As mentioned, there are a bunch of convenient items for you to buy, drinks, coffee and food items. There is a deli inside with a coffee bar if you are hungry, and I was. I decided to try one of their sandwiches and got the Seattle Club. It was actually pretty good, you get a choice of bread so I got ciabatta, comes with turkey, ham, lettuce, tomato, bacon and mayo & mustard. You can get the bread toasted as well, so I did. All meats are Boar's Head brand if that matters to you. They do have quite a bit of food items, there's a food bar with hot & cold items, soups, they make sandwiches, all kinds of chips, cookies etc. Place offers some ledge seating along the edge, 2 couches and a couple of tables with some TV's in the background to watch. Prices are pretty average for a sandwich and drink, so yea nothing exciting there. Staff was friendly, worked quickly to get your food made etc. Probably come back for convenience.

    Chipotle chicken sandwich #5

    My first time getting food here, my mom had an appointment at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and I walked over to get something to eat. The guy was super kind and the sandwich was really good! I got the #5-chipotle chicken bacon sandwich on sourdough bread

    The sandwich tastes great. I had a Seattle Club and it was yummy. The place is also very spacious and clean.

    Excellent breakfast sandwiches. Ownership and employees changed somewhat recently and this place got way better.

    Go to the one on Yale, 3 blocks away. Better selection, and they stay open until their posted hours.

    Don't order food. It will take like an hour to get it. Incredibly understaffed. People working there are incredibly rude.

    It's really cute and the couches are cozy. Great sandwiches! Everyone is really nice. A little pricey though.

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.

There was no garlic at all, but what I did get was a pretty large appetizer that did its job and more. The main dish, the hotstone beef bibimbap, was a lot worse. Firstly, this came with ground beef rather than the beef slices I was expecting. The rice at the bottom was dry like it should be in a clay pot, but lacking really any of that slightly-burnt, hard qualities that makes a clay pot rice what it is. It just tasted dry. But the ground beef was probably the worst part. It was dry, lacking in really any seasoning, and the portion was tiny. I'd finished the beef with still half the bowl remaining. This was not a bibimbap I would come back to at all. Overall, there are way too many better places in the international district for me to ever recommend this. 5/10

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

My only complaint is that the burger was a bit too salty. Service: It was mid. They messed up on our orders and instead of replacing it, she just walked away. They ask for tips which is odd because you have to go to the counter and order and clean the table yourself. They only bring the food and I'm guessing that has more to do with the lack of space. A tip shouldn't be asked. Also when we ordered, we didn't know thy would bring out the meal so we stood inside for a while. They don't take your name or give you a buzzer so I'm not sure how they can keep track. Lastly, it took a while for us to get our food. It wasn't that busy but it looked like there was only one cook. Ambiance: the inside is TINY but it's a vibe. It's small and oddly shaped but the ceilings are high and it's sort of an industrial open concept. They have a small seating outside and a bigger patio seating on the side street. Napkins, utensils and ketchup are all the table which makes it easier. But the place gets packed so you might not even get a seat. Overall: I'd go back because the burgers were that good. But it's not going to be my go-to spot mainly because of the service.
