    Ts comfort bowl.  What in the world is this?
    Maria H.

    This was descibed as a comfort bowl with chicken, mushroom gravy and mash potato. I did get to choose my gravy but come on. This looked like a bowl of ceral gone bad and tasted like milk. There was no flavor and where were the mushrooms?? I came here because all of the reviews I read said it was so good but now I question how drunk everyone was. Save your money and dont come here.

    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
    Marie R.

    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.

    Hamburger with added cheese and garlic Tater tots

    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

    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.

    Da best!! Never tasted wings this good! Garlic chicken wings with a crispy taste like pork rinds. Trust me. Order these on your next visit.

    True pool halls are hard to come by these days, but they do exist. They are (usually) exclusively…read moreadult, human environments in a time when so many places strive to be "kid and dog friendly" (eesh). Golden Fleece has an Eastern European (Georgian) vibe, as evidenced by the menu and some staffing choices. I like that it's not all typical bar food here, Prices are fair, drinks are strong, and service is quick and friendly. I would love to see more Georgian food and drink on the menu, like dumplings, kubdari, kharcho, achma maybe, a real qababi to go with the plov... and how about a chacha- based cocktail? The tables and cues can be somewhat unkempt. We had to hunt considerably for straight cues with good tips, and brush our table free of debris. Tip: opt for a table further from the front entrance, for better equipment selection. This part of the experience needs improvement, but should be an easy fix. The music can be too loud and, frankly, too much of one genre. I feel they are trying to ride a line between nightclub and pool hall, to attract younger clientele. This may be tough on players that need relative quiet to concentrate. All and all, a fun time. I cannot say that it is a "clean" hall, either figuratively or literally, but I can say that at least at this point in time, it's still approachable to those just looking for a drink and a nibble while shooting a game or two with friends, with minimum drama. Give 'em a shot! ;)

    We came here after a comedy show for the after party and it was a great time. There are tons of…read morepool tables as you can imagine and the spacing was quite nice. There was a distinct part of the place for pool, a separate darts area, and then of course the front bar area with high tables that were great for eating at and socializing. Walking through the pool area to get to the bathroom, I didn't feel like I was going to ruin anyone's shot. I ordered at the bar upon entering and grabbed one of these tall tables for our group. They knew where we were stting as the food came right out to us. The menu is regular bar food and it is not too bad. The bathrooms themselves were decently clean. The staff was friendly and eager to serve us. There is also an entire basement filled with pool tables that we did not check out. This place is open late so a good option for a late night hang.
