Fidel Cash Flow: A rich and savory combination of braised pork belly, sliced ham, swiss cheese, dill pickle chips, fresh cilantro, plain mayo, and a spicy brown mustard on a telera roll (4/5). Served with your choice of sides (hand cut fries, waffle fries, chipotle mac salad, & jalapeño slaw). The sandwich size was a bit smaller than expected but it did come with a side. The bread was so soft and good. I also wish it had a bit more meat to enjoy. Otherwise, still a good tasting sandwich. Come support your local business.

The last time that I came here was in 2015. I gave this 3 stars. For this review, if I had to…read moreselect a title it would be "disappointment". My husband and I were visiting the Burien Farmer's Market and decided to stop in for lunch here. The day before our area experienced a heat wave. Apparently this effected this place of business. There were fans going everywhere, no a/c in place; I was hesitant to enter and I should have gone with my instincts. It wasn't awful so that we couldn't stand it, so we stayed. We had a very friendly waitress, wish I could remember her name but she was very good. I ordered a peach tea and my husband ordered a cider, I believe it was pineapple and another fruit based. I ordered the Ahi Taco Wrap and my husband ordered the Luna Fish and Chips. My husband's drink arrived with an apology from another server as she poured the wrong drink for him. He was gracious and took it anyway. Out come our plates. I tasted my husbands fish and found it seriously lacking in flavor; nothing great here. Now let's get to my Ahi wrap; I had serious issues with this.This includes tuna, avocado, cilantro lime coleslaw with chipotle aioli and lime on the side. House made chips and salsa were included. The wrap was hugely disappointing. The ratio of tuna to coleslaw was seriously off. 90 percent of this wrap was coleslaw. The chips weren't fresh and the salsa was just ok, had a sweet type of base, which I don't like in my salsa. The lime included was stale and I couldn't get a drop out of this. The chipotle was so so. The coleslaw had no distinctive cilantro lime flavor. This dish was entirely disappointing and priced at 19.95. Never again. My husband's dish had two pieces of fish and was priced at 18.50. So after the cost of the drinks, the meal was over 60. Shame on us for a few things: 1. For not looking closely at the prices 2. And for most importantly, for simply not grabbing a decently priced hot dog at the farmers market. I'm positive this would have been better and a better deal. We will not be back to this place. The only reason I gave this a one star was for the waitress and the peach tea. Seriously.

Been going here for several years now - poke has always been solid and the Hawaiian dishes were good not great. But today it was all different - everything was outstanding! Wife got a 2 salmon scoop poke : fish was great as always, but the seasoned potatoes (gamja jorim) she chose as 1 of 3 sides was very good. Dad had the hwae-dupbap (think of it as Korean bibimbap but with poke instead of meat) and the Cho-gochujang sauce was excellent. I had the loco moco and it was better than in the past. Also the banchan with that were fire (seasoned japchae noodles, spicy shredded radish) both better than in the past They sell most of the side dishes as banchan and as a Korean I fully endorse them. I am a huge Korean banchan snob and I will absolutely countersign their cooking I don't know what's going on but like I said - everything tastes better than before. The ajumma who runs the place said business is getting slower as the economy is imploding so let's support this awesome local business so we can keep this place around.

The chicken pie is so savory and it tastes like all the good parts of a chicken soup but without the soup haha. The chicken is ground and the sauce is creamy, going very well with the golden flaky crust. The beef and beer pie is the star. I don't even wanna tell people because it's that good, I wanna gatekeep this pie to myself. It sells out of the fridge first so I had to get some hot to go ;) the filling has large, tender, soft beef chunks cooked with the juicy filling that has a earthy, hoppy taste from the beer. It really adds something special to the flavor. Highly recommend trying this one hot in the store! Lastly, the 'just beef' pie was also super yummy, the crust is thin and buttery, and the insides were piping hot. It's the perfect pie and a good size for one to fill you up if you're a medium to small eater, and two will do it for you if you're a big eater and wanna be stuffed. The decor inside this store is so on-theme, it's cute and hilarious. Very Australian! Seating area is clean and the pastries inside the cold case are so very delicious. The owner is a nice lady who is friendly and helpful with info about reheating the frozen pies. Definitely coming back every once in a while to stock up on the frozen pies for a lazy dinner night!
