It is somewhat difficult to get a reservation, because the space here is very small and packed with tables. The one downside is that it is a little tight and can be difficult to hear. But I'll take that for the opportunity to eat here. And as long as you go in with the mindset that you might drop some serious coin on the meal, you're gonna have a phenomenal time. Because we were so close to our dining neighbors, I was actually able to ask them what they were eating since it looked so good. And that's how we ended up with some mind blowing fritters. A perfect appetizer to start the night. They have a great selection of wines that are actually reasonably priced to buy by the bottle. I'm pretty sure I saw someone taking one home that they drank a few bottles out of also, which is a first. I was impressed by the creativity of the dishes as well. I'm not one to be impressed by cabbage, or ever order it, but the charred cabbage looked enticing. The cheese on the bottom, seasoning, and dates transformed this ordinary vegetable into a star. And of course you gotta see what they're doing with the seasonal veggies. I can't seem to ever cook squash the right way, but they crafted it into the ideal consistency where it was almost meaty. That New York Strip was out of this world though... the garlic sauce that accompanied it was just enough of a flavor enhancer that it didn't take away from a steak that was cooked to the ideal temp. I'll be back for more!!

Of course - we started with a dozen oysters, and the staff was kind enough to accommodate our off menu request for oyster shooters. If you're an oyster lover, definitely ask! The biggest surprise was the fish tacos - they're huge! The waiter said they would be 8 inches long, they weren't kidding lol I ordered the rockfish, and it was incredibly fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. We also had a little 'dinghy' of clam chowder, which is their adorable mini serving! Honestly, it's one of the best clam chowders I've ever had. Even if you're ordering something else, get the dinghy so you don't get fomo. We chose to sit outside and enjoyed beautiful views of the sailboats while we ate, which made brunch scenic. I'd definitely come back!

Super cheat day! Appetizer: Hot honey cauliflower bites. The…read morehot honey sauce blended very well with the blue cheese dressing. Not spicy to me but it's fine for casual palettes. Deep fried so it gets a bit heavy if you're eating it solo. Entree: Mr Piggy Mac & Cheese. Delicious cheesy goodness with a good helping of tasty shredded pork. The noodles and the pork were evenly tasty, neither overpowering the other. I hope this one makes it to the regular menu. Drink: No Doubt Stout, an oatmeal-tasty beverage with a clean start and finish. Good stuff. Service was excellent: they staggered the appetizer and entree as requested so both dishes were fresh and gave me time to enjoy both. After paying they encouraged me to take my time while I washed down the meal with water and enjoy the Mariners game.

Only went for pick up so I can't say much about ambience and service, but the server who helped me was nice, and it's has a nice bar vibe - not too fancy, but not dives either. I got the salmon Caesar salad and it was DIVINE. The salmon came on the side, and the blacked crust was salty and crispy. It was a great match for the fresh salad, brightened up with some lime, avocado and the dressing. The crispy corn tortilla strips on top were a great crunch. 10/10 would order again.

Stepping inside feels…read morejust like being back in Asia, and when I first discovered it, I drove all the way out here nearly 10 times in a single month. They also almost always have great specials when you spend over $80! ​Must-Orders & Foodie Pro-Tip: ​* Special Lamb: The absolute star of the menu and a non-negotiable must-have. - i like to ask for additional spicy powder on the side and dip more since it is little blend for my liking ​* The Cucumber + Cold Noodle Hack: If you're a savory girl like me, order the cucumber salad to start, but save about a quarter of it (and the sauce). When you get cold noodles for dessert, dunk the leftover cucumber and tangy sauce in--it adds the perfect crunch and acidity to balance out the sweetness! ​Drink Note: They still serve beer, but it's a bit sad that they don't sell original/non-flavored soju anymore. Regardless, the incredible food and lively vibe make every trip 100% worth the drive.

Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived by eating raw meat and…read moredrinking blood. One day, lightning struck a tree, causing a massive forest fire that killed many animals. Our ancestors then discovered that cooked meat tasted much better than raw meat. This is why roast meat has always been regarded as an important part of the human diet. Today I gathered with friends and chose this barbecue restaurant. It's located north of Redmond, with a prominent sign and plenty of parking. Ambiance: The decor is creative, but it feels quite contradictory. Barbecue is inherently a very "Jianghu" (lively, rough-and-tumble) kind of thing, yet the restaurant leans toward an artistic, literary style. When I used to run my own restaurant, I followed a principle: avoid anything unrelated to the core dining experience. Seeing many books on the shelves here, I understand they're trying to bridge Jianghu and artistry -- but it clearly feels out of place. That said, the place is very clean, and the stickers/decorations are festive. Service: My high rating for this restaurant is largely based on the service. After we sat down, we were given free appetizers -- braised peanuts, which tasted great. The staff training is very professional, whether it's taking orders, making recommendations, attending to us during the meal, or checking on tables and refilling water. All excellent. Taste: Jianghu-style cuisine is characterized by boldness, satisfaction, and not sweating the small details. We ordered spicy hot pot (Malatang), spicy hot pot skewers, grilled beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, oysters, and many other items. First, the Malatang and spicy skewers tasted almost identical, so it felt like eating the same thing. The grilled skewers were just average -- neither good nor bad. The oysters were very tasty. However, the shrimp in the spicy skewers were very unfresh, which was disappointing. "By the way, the prices at 'Friendship Skewers' are anything but friendly -- I think it's quite overpriced overall."

It's a simple mexican restaurant, not fancy but still clean and their food does not disappoint.

It was really awkward. The time, we figured they were understaffed; the second time we figured it was a coincidence. We went a 3rd time and just left after 10 min of trying to talk to someone

Zoinks. The steak is a delight, too, though - don't get me wrong. I am a Hanger devotee, and the Shambles' version was stellar. Such great natural flavor - it hardly needed the demi/ butter, but gilding the lily never hurt anybody. Service here is friendly and helpful - if you have questions, the capable staff will steer you. My one note: skip dessert so that you can focus on the savory menu items (not that the sweets were bad, they just get outshone by the salty stuff).
