People love to complain about the wait and say it's not worth it, but I honestly disagree. The food always delivers. My go-to soups are the Taiwanese Spicy, Beef Pot, and Milk Cream Curry each one is packed with flavor and hits every time. Fair warning: the Taiwanese Spicy Hot Pot is actually spicy. I love heat and still feel it, so be ready. Also, service can feel a bit hands-off, especially when it's busy you might need to flag someone down for water. But to me, that just shows how popular the place is. When it's that packed, you know they're doing something right.

I wish they had a self-serve area where you could put the sauce on the corn dog itself, or when you order the sauces, they put them on the corn dogs directly. We got one half & half cheese & sausage potato corn dog, and one half and half of the hot Cheeto. Both of them were good. I liked the hot Cheeto one better though, with the spicy mayo sauce. Service was quick- we got our order within a few minutes.

YGF Malatang definitely lives up to the hype!…read more The restaurant was packed, but the atmosphere still felt clean, lively, and welcoming. I really enjoyed how customizable everything was, from the fresh ingredients to the different noodle choices, it made the experience fun and personal. The broth was the highlight for me: rich, flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. We got #1 which is classic herbal it's not that spicy as they say more on the light mild spicy. However, #6 has no spice at all, so it's perfect for the kids. We got the chicken broth for them with their favorite udon noodles (there's so many types of noodles.) We paid around $45 with two bowls, it honestly fed my family of 4 and my daughter can eat, eat! :P You can really taste the quality in the food. Service was also smooth and efficient despite how busy it was, and the staff kept things moving quickly. Overall, one of the best malatang spots I've been to so far. Great food, great ambience, and perfect for anyone who loves building their own bowl exactly how they want it. Ps. If you do a review here or Google they will give you a cute magnet or keychain in which my daughter got so she's very happy with her tiny noodle magnet.

A party of 2 or more is recommended for the kbbq because of the amount of meat that is served. They do have entree items that are perfect for one person. We tried the premium butcher feast option and it gave us some flexibility in what kinds of meat we wanted. My personal favorites is the wagyu steak and the zabuton. Super tender and soft. Some of the other meats I thought were a bit too chewy or fatty. The feast is definitely more than enough for two people. It includes side dishes, salad, tofu soup and steamed egg. The interior is very spacious, clean and modern. They did an impressive job with the menu as everything looks appetizing. I'd like to come back to try the entree dishes. Overall, the presentation looks aesthetically pleasing. It is a little more expensive compared to other kbbq spots but you are definitely paying for the quality.

Overall: 8.5/10…read more Food: 8/10 I got the #5 Creamy Broth which was a creamy chicken broth topped with juicy pork chashu and a flavorful seasoned egg topped with free self serve tempura flakes, green onion, and ginger. I asked for a spice ball for the soup on the side. The soup was rich and creamy as the name suggested. The pork chashu was average at best. It lacked flavor and color. The noodles were thick and al dente and absorbed the broth very well. I would not recommend mixing the tempura flakes into the broth as it makes them soggy and they no longer have the crunchy texture to contrast the noodles. For tempura I got a steamed egg tempura, shrimp tempura, and potato tempura. The egg tempura definitely reined supreme. Would heavily recommend a tempura sauce which they happened to run out with today. The vegetable tempuras were all bland. Would not recommend. If you do get the tempuras, eat them before the main dish so the richness of the main dish doesn't ruin the delicate flavor of the tempura. Atmosphere: 9/10 Tables were cleaned and bussed regularly. There were plenty of tables where we didn't really have to wait after getting our food. The tables were kinda close to each other and the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night at 7 pm. It was very loud and we could not hear the music in the background and had to speak up when talking to each other. Service: 9/10 Self service similar to chipotle where you order at the counter and they make it in front of you and all the individual components of each dish are premade. Unlike chipotle, once they give you the main dish in a tray, there is a self serve Tempura bar where you pay by piece.

My daughter and I were staying in the neighborhood hotel and decided to give the place a try…read moreespecially it's highly rated on yelp. My daughter ordered their Chicken Katsu plate and mine was the Kalua Pig plate. My daughter enjoyed the katsu and it was such generous portion. However I didn't enjoy my kalua pork. It had an amazing smokey aroma but the taste was nothing but just salt. The side dishes were very tasty however. At first, I was trying my best to eat it with rice but the salt in the end really got to me. Especially I have high BP, so I decided to let the lady behind the counter know. It was very nice of her to remake it but it was still very salty. By then, I didn't want to eat it anymore. She offered to remake it for the third time as the chef was feeling bad about it. I told her, it's OK. My mouth only tasted salt and I had chucked down so much water including the free drinks she offered. I was already full. My daughter tasted it and said it was OK and told me she would eat my kalua pork and I could have her leftover half of chicken katsu. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. It will be our dinner if we can't find a restaurant open.

Feast Buffet really stepped up their game. The food tastes way better than I remember -- honestly…read morecloser to a sit‑down restaurant than a typical buffet. The dim sum was a big surprise for me; I usually skip siu mai at buffets, but everything looked so good I tried it, and it was just as tasty as ordering it by the piece at a dim sum spot. Lunch had tons of variety: pan‑fried prawns, crayfish, frog, salt‑and‑pepper fried fish, a make‑your‑own beef noodle soup station, and a full Mongolian grill. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I also loved the salad bar, especially the mango and papaya. Drinks included in the price is a nice bonus. The place looks cleaner and nicer than before, and even though we drove 45 minutes from the Eastside, it was totally worth it. Feast Buffet has definitely leveled up.

I was talking to a friend about reasons to visit Renton and one of the things that reached my mind…read morewas Feast Buffet. Located in the Renton Shopping Center near Fred Meyer, this buffet has really surpassed the test of time. I remember coming here when I was a kid during important family events, however I think the last time I came was around 10 years ago! I think it's pretty safe to say that things have remained consistent over the past many years. To be honest, I'm not a big buffet person - I feel like the quality of the food is often traded for quantity and at my big age I really cannot force myself to eat more than like 2-3 plates of food anymore. But I will say, Feast definitely exceeded my expectations! It has a lot of great asian choices, as well as options for children/people with different palates! I've was a huge fan of the sushi/seafood options, especially the salmon sashimi they had. It was SO fatty I had so many bowls of it. There wasn't really anything that disappointed me, though the crab/lobster line was long (as expected). Staff were kind, and were pretty consistent in clearing out my table and I thought everything was pretty clean! Honestly I'm tempted to return (maybe for lunch since it's cheaper) but I do think that Feast Buffet is definitely a gem of Renton.

We got a table almost immediately, as we did get there relatively early around 11:30 AM. The place was already somewhat busy, but there were a number of available tables.

We've been wanting to try this spot for a while every time we drive by, it's packed, which usually…read moresays a lot. Finally made it in, and overall, it was a mixed experience. Started off strong with the uni shot, which was really good, and the sashimi fresh, clean, and exactly what you want from a sushi spot. We also ordered the mushroom and pumpkin salad with spinach, which tasted great, but at $20, it felt a bit overpriced for what it was. The rolls, unfortunately, didn't live up to how they looked. Presentation was definitely there, but the flavor just didn't hit. On top of that, they were falling apart pretty easily when picked up with chopsticks, which made them a little frustrating to eat. Service was solid overall staff was attentive despite how busy it was but they did miss our hamachi kama, which was a bit of a letdown. A couple things to note: this place is cash only, and it gets very busy, so expect a bit of a wait. That said, the vibe is nice, and the design of the space is something I actually liked. Would I come back? Probably for sashimi and appetizers but I might skip the rolls next time.
