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.

The music isn't too loud and the location is nice. It's a bit on the smaller side, but there's still plenty of seating. I came during a lunch break; they were super speedy!

Yummy! A cute little banh mi spot in Lacey. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the…read moreservice is fast. We've driven by so many times and finally stopped in for lunch -- safe to say we'll be back. We ordered two house specials (two meats + fried egg). I got the pork and tofu, and my boyfriend got the beef and pork. Heads up, the marinade can be on the sweeter side (according to my bf), so if that's not your thing, it might not be your go-to. But i really liked the balance of sweetness with the spice of the jalapeños. The bread was the standout for me. A lot of banh mi places have bread that's too hard, but theirs was perfectly crisp and easy to bite into. Can't wait to try more of the menu

The dipping sauce included with the steamed gyoza was a perfect complement. The tempura prawns and tempura appetizers were accompanied with a nice sauce. The group all enjoyed the appetizers. Along with the California roll and spicy tuna combo this restaurant provides the perfect balance of wasabi and ginger. Most other places serve the smallest portions of each. The service was very good. I recommend this place and will come back!!! Came back and this time had the California and spicy tuna roll. It was delicious and again plenty of wasabi. One other person at the table had the spicy seafood noodle soup. He was warned about the heat and sure enough he was sweating profusely. Definitely HOT, but again he loved it. The last person who had asked to come back here, no demanded it, loves her Shrimp tempura roll. Glad to come back and enjoy!!

Smelly kind of, too, when I took a bite? It did not taste fresh :/ staff was very quick with their attentiveness and ensured to provide refills as wanted. Also checked in multiple times without interruptions to conversations of table. Immediate seating at the booths when we opened the door to the restaurant. Great service and no complaints. Lots of booths to sit at to host many guests. I do not remember much about decorations, but I liked that the lighting was bright enough to comfortably read the menu because sushi restaurants tend to be so dim. Plenty of parking as it is at a square plaza with other shops and restaurants. also, my plate had a bit of dirt on it :/ I did not say anything because I ultimately chose to not use it

So I've lived less than five minutes from this place for 11 years, and somehow it never caught my…read moreeye. 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.

NOT at a "generic, run of the mill Chinese place". The sauces are delicate & light. They are not bold or strong. I got "extra spicy. They added a lot of hot chilis but it didn't make the dish super hot or spicy. If you want that I suggest getting your own hot chili oil or Gochujang. It is traditional food. Another reviewer speaks specifically to this as well. It is similar to Tea leaf 2 but with far better portions, and better They also have a "Traditional menu" that you can order from with stronger Szechuan flavors. Their food is very fresh. You can tell this from how the chicken tastes and looks and the vegetables they use. It is a nice cozy place. The staff are so wonderful and friendly. I recommend calling ahead. If you are particular about what you are expecting, talk to them. They are very knowledgeable about the food they serve and will make accommodations. If you order something deep fried I recommend eating there. I say this about ANY deep fried / battered food. When ANY deep fried / battered food is put in a to-go containers over a short period of time the heat inside the container creates moisture and then the deep fried food is soggy. Soggy sweet & sour chicken or orange chicken is disappointing but that is the fault of the to-go containers. 100% recommend.
