    Chicken bites
    Han H.

    Love this place: -open late -TVs all around for sports viewing -warm pub feel Great root beer on tap!! GET THE BROCCOLI. My friend recommended it and it's so delish! Happy hour at 10pm. Unfortunately the chicken bites suck. They were all dough, extra salty, and a tad bit too spicy. Our waitstaff Vaughn was the best!!

    Totchos

    Came here randomly on a Sunday and ended up loving the small-town vibe of the place. There were lots of locals, good sports games on their TVs, and good beer and food options. The place is huge and has a few floors, but it feels like a legit sports bar. Loved the root beer on tap :) We ordered Totchos - these were surprisingly filling, even though they're meant to be a shareable appetizer, I highly recommend them! Westy Classic - this was bomb, the ghost pepper cheese provided just enough kick Had a few beers, their stout selection was good if you're into those. The service was excellent, the bartenders and servers were super interactive they chatted it up with everyone that walked in. I can see why there's regulars, it was a fun time.

    Really enjoyed my lunch at The Westy for my first visit. Haley was very friendly and greeted me right away. I saw on the menu there was an "Angry Bird" wrap, however I am not a wrap guy. Haley said they were happy to make it into a sandwich for me. The feel here is that of a sports bar and at the time I was there, not very noisy at all. My sandwich was incredible, and I can't wait to go back again.

    Awesome food and equally awesome staff. Bring back the bulgogi spring rolls!! Wings are great. Watch out for the cheesecake spring rolls!! They are delicious AF!!

    Hubby and I went for some good happy hour (2-5pm) snacks and drinks and we were not disappointed. We had the chicken and mini waffles, steak bites, and Mexican corn cheese. All were delicious! The service was fast and friendly too. We'll definitely be back to try the rest of their menu. I forgot to take pictures of the food, but I got their most recent (4/2025) menu. As for the venue itself, it's a bit of a small entry, but opens up to another level in the back. Like any sports bar, there's TVs everywhere, but they're not loud, which I appreciated. They have a full bar as well with a good selection of cocktails and beer. It's a nice-sized place with a very local and welcoming feel.

    That was the worst salad EVER. The corn dip was good, the chips were good, the brisket grilled cheese was good, but the salad was awful.

    Stopped in for a pint and some food to catch some sports on Root TV that we can't watch at home. The bar selection is fantastic and the food is flavorful and well put together. We were served by Becky and felt like we were a bother to her during our visit. Her demeanor was short, impatient and borderline rude. We are locals and we're very excited d to make this joint our regular go-to spot. Sadly, we were off-put by cold, dismissive service. Pros: Excellent, flavorful food. Great varieties of beverages. Local sports on multiple tvs. Cons: service, service, service. Please talk to Becky. She seems very comfortable and didn't seem interested in developing new regulars. (Side note: it was pretty dead and there was plenty of time to do a better job). She spent more time talking to some other Westy employee that was off the clock than us. Edit: The owner reached out and shared some thoughts with me and I am very appreciative of his response. I also realized that a negative experience in service didn't warrant a condemnation of entire experience.

    The Westy Burger with salad

    We came here after going to Lincoln Park, which was only a 5 min drive away. Since it was sorta warm and we still had sunlight, we opted for the patio vs. being inside. You scan a QR code on the table (which is unique for your table), order, and pay all on the phone. It was pretty convenient for us as diners and probably less work for the workers to not need to constantly check on us. The con to this though was there was very limited service. They just bring out the orders but there was no check-in on if we needed anything throughout service. No water was given. We had to go in to ask for a to-go box. My boyfriend accidentally dropped his fork on the ground and I thought no way is this fork getting replaced. This IS a sports bar though and we were outside so unsure if things are different indoors. We ordered two burgers (mine was a regular cheeseburger w onions, lettuce, tomato, and my boyfriend's had bacon and ghost pepper cheese), and the Irish nachos and an alcoholic hibiscus lemonade. The burgers came with either a salad or tots for the side. The Irish nachos had super crunchy waffle fries which I enjoyed. The guac on top was average. The meat patties were thick at 1/3 pound which I liked, though I found it to be a little dry. I think the ghost pepper cheese in my boyfriend's burger really elevated the burger, though it was quite spicy. Overall, not bad. I'd maybe come back if I was in the area.

    This place has an upstairs kitchen and a bar downstairs creating a kinda nice division between the dining and drinking area. I had my usual hot honey chicken yesterday. I preferred it when they used dark meat chicken for this sandwich. Now that they use chicken breast, I find it less flavorful ( I don't think the meat was seasoned at all ), and not as tender. Still good, but I will have to find my next favorite item here's at Westy's. I enjoy coming here for the lively vibe at night, and there is plenty of street parking.

    Brontosaurus wings. So delicious!!!

There was not too many people and we got served right away by the bartender. They have some cool unique cocktails. I got the first one, which is a custom gin cocktail for about $15. I usually cringe at cocktails over $12 but this really was worth the $15 price tag. It was so balanced and nicely flavored and had a good strength. The place has bar seating and booth seating, and televisions all over showing football, wrestling, and more. They have a mini wrestling ring at the front, which is fun. I bet this place is so fun when they have special events. In the back they also have pinball, of course! And board games. The wall is covered in art and wrestling memorabilia which adds to the ambiance. We sat at the bar for a bit and the other guests were nice too - chatted with us, chatted with the bartenders. I think some people are regulars, which is cool. I really liked this lowkey unique bar and wouldn't mind making a trip out here again soon.

    Dinner from late 2025 Customers seem to have a love-hate…read morerelationship with Tomo, an Asian fusion restaurant, in White Center. Originally opened as a high-end restaurant with tasting menu only, the restaurant has since evolved to an la carte (optional family set), with a mix of Asian fusion and adapting to moderate-price offerings with larger portions. The owner/chef has a worthy pedigree, having worked at Canlis; Brady Ishiwata Williams presents a menu leveraging recipes from his Japanese grandmother with influences of local ingredients and other Asian flavors. The results are flavorful (occasionally salty), imaginative, and visually pleasing. The staff is very kind and helpful with menu explanations. The restaurant ambiance is streamlined modern. The Food: Klingemann Farms Pork Rib Chop, $48 - 4 Stars Impeccably covered in a tamarind glaze and served with broccolini, the pork rib chop is served slice with slices of butter lettuce for wrapping. Despite being slightly salty, it was a brilliantly prepared dish. Sablefish, $46 - 4 Stars The sablefish is seared and served with manila clams and kale. This is a 'brothy' dish, and I have to say I wanted to drink the broth. Alas, it was a touch too salty to literally drink the broth. The combination of clams on fish is unusual; they work well together. The kale hiding under the fish soaked up all the broth wonderfully. Tomo Caesar, $18 - 4 Stars Their signature salad adapts flavors of the chefs' Japanese side with bonito dressing and furikake. Lightly dressed and delicate in flavor, it is my kind of salad. Dry-Aged Steam Burger, $5 - 4.5 Stars This humble steam burger is their most popular dish, a bargain at $5. Served with caramelized onion and American cheese, it was surprisingly good, and I am not a burger fan. When we asked if we can order more (nearly closing time), the server winked at us and gifted us two more. Thank you! Albacore Taraki, $26 - 3.5 Stars Albacore slices are served in a ponzu and yuzu dressing. Delicate and delicious (but spendy for albacore). Chawanmushi, $16 - 2.5 Stars Their Japanese egg custard is served with sweet corn, enoki, and brown rice vinegar. While I love a good chawanmushi, the high-end variants all include seafood. The $16 price is very high for its ingredients. This restaurant has a 22% included service charge and no additional gratuity is requested. For the level of service we received, the 22% is legit.

    Quick early dinner at Tomo during the weekday. We have…read morereservation and were seated quickly. Bar tender was our server as well. Ordered halibut cudo and fried chicken. The halibut was fishy, not fresh. It's not a fishy fish, to get this fishy is alarming. Chicken has a hard batter shell, not much flavor in the chcken or batter, it's all in the glaze and dip. One piece was raw on the inside. Having eaten and cooked chicken for a few decades, i recognize undercooked chicken when I see and taste it. After I told my server about my chicken, the only response I got was "just so you know, the chicken is not raw on the inside". This was my only interaction I had with any server during the entire service. There is zero explaination about food when served, no checking in on the food once it's served. The pork rib was the only dish that tasted good. But it's $50 for about 8-10 oz of fatty pork sitting in soy sauce. Salmon was fishy, texture is strange and flavor is off, again leaning hard on the sauce to solve the poor flavor of the fish itself. I saw neigboring tables salad which is okay quantity for $18. When the bill came I understood why there is zero customer service, the 22% service fee is built in. I tip 20-25% regularly. But for nearly zero interaction, i could have ordered off of a ipad, have a robot deliver to my table. If you charge upscale price, service is part of the experience. The food is absolutely not worthy of returning, even at half the cost. The surrounding ethnic restaurants on the same street would provide you better food and service for about 30% of the cost.

Knowing how viral spots can get, we arrived early at 4:50 since they were listed to open at 5. By 5:30, no one had shown up. We checked their Instagram and found comments from other people who had the same experience from other days: showing up at opening time only to find the doors still closed. The owner had replied to one of those comments saying, "Life does unfortunately get in the way of being able to open right at 5 pm..." So apparently this happens somewhat regularly. Right as we were about to give up, someone finally pulled up and unlocked the place. We rolled down our window and he told us we needed to park somewhere else. That's fine. We waited a few minutes to let him get settled before walking in. There was no "thanks for waiting" or any acknowledgment at all. When we asked if they were serving food, he told us the sandwich guy "should be here around 6:30 or so," and suggested we grab a burger next door if we were really hungry. Honestly, that was such a letdown. We'd waited all day to eat, driven 50 minutes from Tacoma in the pouring rain, and were so eager to try their food, not the burger spot next door. We debated leaving but decided to make the best of it. We grabbed burgers next door, came back, and ordered cocktails. The drinks were fine, and the space itself is genuinely awesome, great vibe, super fun décor, and a lot of character. I mean they even play scary movies on a projector. Like, it's awesome. But the experience left us feeling more like an inconvenience than valued customers. I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, the lack of communication and hospitality overshadowed everything else.
