    Terry's Kitchen serves a mix of Hawaiian and Chinese-style comfort food--kind of hard to categorize, but it works. It's decent overall and very reasonably priced for the area. I personally like their loco moco, which is the standout for me. The fried rice and chow mein are pretty bland and not anything special, but the service is always very kind and welcoming, which goes a long way. It's not a must-have spot, but definitely good once in a while when you're looking for something casual and affordable.

    Hawk Chicken Fried Steak - great gravy and just added a little sriracha for fun to go.

    One more reason to love Terry's. In addition to the killer smoked prime rib on Thursdays I decided to give the Hawks Chicken Fried Steak a try. Could be my favorite in Seattle. So many places seem to serve up a semi-gristly kind of beef but Terry's was really nice. Not a tough chewy affair but a tasty one without all the extra work just getting it down. :D Add to that the always great drinks and we always go away happy. Enjoyed it so much that even though we were there to experience live music (highly recommended!) I grabbed an order to go. A+++

    This eastside neighborhood eatery has been rocking it and the atmosphere harkens to a scene from the sitcom Cheers! Both the bar and restaurant vibes are quaint and offers great food and drinks! We had the daily special which was a country fried steak, potatoes and an over easy egg. We also had the wasabi baked salmon and fish & chips (subbed in tater tots). For those in the know they've taken some old school South Seattle favs like Imperial Lanes Bowling Alley, South China Restaurant and other ID's favs and incorporated them into their delightful menu. Don't forget a lime freeze! The service is always nice and they're very attentive to all their customers.

    T's Chinatown Garlic Spareribs

    Very good comfort food super close to where I live. I got the Chinatown garlic spareribs and the flavors were really spot on. I love how every entree came with mac salad.

    Meatloaf

    I just love this place! My husband goes here every week for pool and he buys me food while he shoots pool. Our favorite is the garlic spareribs. We also love the katsudon, meatloaf, and country fried chicken. Oh and the caramel toffee cake is amazing! Terry is just nice and cool. The staff is amazing and friendly as well! The place itself is very chill. I don't mind hanging out here while my husband shoots pool since the people are cool, the food is amazing, and the spot is chill.

    Walkable from my house, I brought my family for dinner. The menu, billed as "comfort food", delivers on that promise. Tater tots and crispy spare ribs warmed us up for tofu chow mein and chicken karaage. The meat dishes were the stars for me, as the spare ribs were tender but crispy at the same time, and the karaage was perfectly crispy and juicy. The portions are astounding, we took more home than we ate. Value was high. Service was very attentive and friendly. I would recommend Terry's to anyone looking for comfort in the bottom of a meat platter.

    I've been here twice now and sad I didn't take a picture of my food before. So the first time I ever had Terry's kitchen was a few days after Saint Patty's day. And for some reason on their online menu, they still had corned beef and cabbage, and then when I got to the restaurant, they were like oh we are no longer serving that I'm so sorry which I was absolutely devastated because I love corned beef and cabbage and I hadn't had a chance to have any. So they had me wait a little bit and the chef managed to find a little bit of corned beef and make it for me. And the corned beef was phenomenal. The slices were cut really thick and it just melted in your mouth like butter. Everything else with the cabbage and then the carrots and the mashed potatoes were pretty basic and generally good but that corned beef was absolutely stunning. Service here can be interesting when it comes to waiters, like being ignored to over service. I came in and got a rare hamburger and added cheddar cheese and garlic tater tots which both were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I will keep coming here but I prefer to takeout vs dining in. It's lovely inside the place. But again you never know what you're going to get when it comes to your host/waiter

    Spare Ribs

    Local family favorite, especially if you're looking for an island plate lunch or dinner. I have dined in the main dining area and for an event in the event space.

    Wasabi salmon, with kitchen sink rice
    Carrie M.

    One of my favorite things in Hawaii is there fried rice. So very thankful to have it even closer. Also, I recently went back to Hawaii and had what I thought was my favorite rice and now I realize Terry's kitchen hands-down kitchen sink will always now be my favorite. They also make amazing fish and chips, salmon, with wasabi sauce, and the crispy chicken with almond sauce. It's all delicious. Great people with friendly service and ambience is clean and nice.

    Fish & Chips
    Dee C.

    Decided to try a new place for dinner and this spot offered a good mix of variety and was not far away (great for me you'll see why). Located on the side of a small grocery store which is nice because parking is ample, a bit hidden but imo awesome because it's lowkey. After seating and looking over the menu my wife and brother in law decided to try out the "Sassy Chicken Wings" to share which I've read other reviews talking about the wings are pretty solid here and I am a wing-a-holic. They were honestly the best wings I've had in a long time. Sweet, tangy, sticky, crunchy and juicy.. my stomach rumbled as I wrote those last few words haha those are a MUST try if you stop by. For my entree I went with the Fish & chips which were great as well. Super fresh and juicy big fillets fried till a perfect crisp. My wife opted for the hamburger which has a good amount of add on options to customize it to your liking. She added a hot link which is not common and we're suckers for a hot link burger! Paired with some nice crispy fries tasted great! Nice spice with a great burger another solid choice. Brother in law got the prime rib dip sandwich with au ju, he said it was also great paired with fries. Personally everything was great and I'm happy that my wife decided to try this spot because it's our new go to. Those wings, nice and chill vibes with being pretty hole in the wall'ish meaning it's not crowded busy and over populated haha you can have a nice relaxing lunch or dinner and best of all support a small business that deserves every penny. Will DEFINITELY be back for more wings and also trying other delicious options! Thank you to the team at terrys kitchen!

    Karaage is tender juicy, breading is light and crispy, good umami flavor. Kalbi steak bites have a nice firm initial bite and tender, cooked perfectly. Both were marinated really well. They both paired with sauce but honestly doesn't need it.

    Have only ever gotten take out from here and have enjoyed it each time! Inside has lots of seating,…read morenicely decorated and cozy. You're able to self serve your own water, seat yourself, and order from the table using a QR code. An introvert's dream so I definitely have to come dine in some time. My first time ordering from here, we got the Chinese sausage and bacon stone pot rice, stir fried rice noodles with XO sauce, and braised pork feet rice rolls. All were delicious but my favorite was the stone pot rice. Second time I ordered here, I got garlic chicken wings and fries. Loved it! The wings and fries tasted so fresh. Super crispy and juicy, flavorful. And they were super generous with the fries. There were tons and so yummy - crispy on the outside and soft and hot on the inside. Service is good too. Food is always ready when I arrive and the lady is very friendly.

    Honestly I don't even know why I even bother ordering Uber Eats from Lee's Kitchen (Factoria…read morelocation) anymore. They've messed up my orders about 3 times now. First time, they didn't secure the lid to the bowl of congee and it arrived all over the poor uber driver's car and in the delivery bag. Second time, they served us burnt congee that reeked of chemicals and had little burnt bits in it. Then this time, the congee is absolutely tasteless and they gave us the wrong soy sauce for the shrimp rice rolls. Shrimp rice rolls usually come with a sweet soy sauce, but they always pack you a whole sauce container of regular soy sauce that you won't realize until you pour it over the rice rolls. Sure they might be more reliable if you're dining there; but please don't even bother ordering take out or delivery. It's funny because every time i order congee, it's because I'm so severely hungover and sick and am so desperate for some comfort food. And every time without fail, they make the situation worst some how lol. Also every time we do call in to complain it always sounds like a teen kid that's working and is not helpful at all. Ugh.

    This is so unfortunate because I really genuinely love the breads here. But this is a review…read morespecifically about an experience I had like a month ago. I pre-ordered the high fiber bread scheduled for pick up on Monday. It was on the menu online and it accepted my payment, and considering it's a pre-order I assumed everything was good to go and they would make my order ready by Monday. I get to the store on Monday in a mad rush because I'm trying to pick up this high fiber bread to take home for my father in law flying back to Taiwan. So I literally made the trip just to get the bread in the morning and then rushed home to take him to the airport. I get to the store and apparently one of the managers said they tried to call me... at 6:30/7AM in the morning leaving me a voicemail on that same Monday I went to pick up the bread.... Basically saying they can't fulfill my order because the high fiber is not something they make on Monday??? I mean first of all, why are you taking preorders online then? Second of all, why is your online system allowing us customers to order and place in the cart if it's not available on Monday? Isn't that the point of preorder? So you know ahead of time what bread to make for customers? He then had the audacity to say... all our *regular customers* know our bread making schedule. It changes daily. Well, first of all, excuse me for not being a *regular* as in there's apparently some elitist exclusive group at great harvest bread. Also, though I'm not a *regular*, I do purchase breads from here for visitors etc from time to time and am well aware that the breads they make change daily WHICH IS WHY I PREORDERED. I was pretty upset about the whole ordeal and he compted me a Dakota bread which I don't even like. *eye roll* I think they seriously need to work on customer service etiquette and to edit their website so that it's not misleading. If you aren't able to provide the bread listed online, then don't enable it for preorders and waste our time commuting only to leave empty handed. Factoria is an extremely busy area too with heavy traffic in the morning. I was breaking a sweat trying to get from A to B on time What a complete disappointment. Please note this is not a review for the quality of their bread, but for the disappointing customer service and lack of transparency in their website. It's completely misleading...
