Pho Binh
Category: Vietnamese
Neighborhood: Lake City
This might be the most expensive viet menu I have ever seen. If you have a bowl of pho, cafe su da, some spring rolls, you may be approaching a $20 lunch here.
They do deliver though. The broth is tasty and has that family secret ingredient that all pro-pho places need. Spring rolls are tasty and the wonton skins are not dried out.
Not overly generous portions of anything. No problems with cleanliness or ingredients. That alone makes them head and shoulders above most in town.
No credit card headaches either. They have their profit built in and don't have to annoy people with minimums or fees.

It's not very good pizza, but it's open late, serves it by the slice for broke-assed collegiate demographics, and is quick about it.
It might be just the place to stop by on the way home.

Hana Restaurant
Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars
Neighborhood: Capitol Hill
This is the worst part. Hana is inconsistently bad, so sometimes it's good and a worthy value. I'd rather have consistent bad instead of occasionally good. It's not ok.
Hana, after a couple past experiences, was sushi-banned. The sushi is so bad here, it makes the super lame Blue C look like the Tokyo Imperial Palace. The spider roll was the last last last chance. Rancid mayo. You people are gross.
The udon here has been acceptable, but not this time. The accompanying spider roll was not ok. They didn't bring me my tea or a spoon to eat the soup with.
Bad food! Bad! Never again.

Two star sushi stands, but four star udon awesome.
If not for the slow bitchy service and the variably and unpredictably bad fish, this would be better.
However, it is not.
I'll be back for noodles and perhaps an eel bowl, but I'll skip most of the rest. I'd eat the fish at sushiland before eating what they serve from the bar here. -

This was the place! I remember you! I remember your LIES.
It's cheap. It's cheap for a reason.
I almost knew better than to ask if the uni was fresh. It was like it was in slow motion.
"iiisss thhheeeee uuunnniiii freeeeshhhh???" "yeeesssss."
So I ordered some.
Typical old assed hanging around uni was produced.
After a couple really bad uni experiences, I have learned that if it looks wet at all, it is going to taste like rancid fish jello. J-E-L-L-UUGHHH! :(
Because of punks like these guys, many people, I am sure, believe that all uni tastes this way.
I love me some uni and haven't been able to find any worth eating. The search continues.
Everything else here was really sub par and non-interesting. Completely forgettable.

I didn't think they had Elder Video Game Nerds (Level 80 level capped with epics) working at places like this anymore.
You would never suspect that an entirely different store is inside of a Hollywood video, but I'll bet it totally trims down on the overhead expenses.
They have awesome promo deals and this is totally the place to get your pre-orders in for must have items with value-added promo schwag.
They called to mind this:

IKEA
Categories: Furniture Stores, Scandinavian
Neighborhood: Northeast Portland
This, like most Ikeas, are laid out in the same way as all other Ikeas. The difference, and what makes this a elite four star Ikea, is the friendly suburban Portland people.
Portland suburbs are a bit self loathing. "How dare I live in a bourgeouis enclave! I'm outraged by myself!" That's right Portland. Suburbanites are your evil dark side. People who might not recycle and all evil comes from a disposable income.
Their Ikea guilty pleasure will be a secret I keep for them. Shhh. I'll never tell, Portland! You can count on me.

Central Cinema
Categories: Cinema, Venues & Event Spaces, Pizza
Neighborhood: Central District
I tried to visit you during the presidential debates, but you were full.
I tried visiting to see a film, but you were sold out.
You're just not that into me. There's too much demand for your attention.
I just don't think we should see each other anymore, Central Cinema. I just demand more from a theater venue relationship than you're willing to give me.
(Seriously though, come early if you're trying to get in here. They fill up super fast. They are well staffed and generously accommodated. It's comfortable and so people show up early.)
-1 star for being such a player. You hurt me, Central Cinema. Show owner comment »

The Hideout
Category: Lounges
Neighborhood: First Hill
Classy bar with retroish well dressed bartenders, prohibition bathtub gin strength drinks, and bizarreo artwork on the walls. It's a roaring 20s period bar with art from the future where use of advanced superdrugs influenced their neo-beatniks.
Men should report in here to pick up on lonely nurses and doctors from the hospital. Women can come here too, I guess. Someone might talk to you after all of the doctorgirls leave. :D
Parking is also impossible in this area. Just forget the notion of even attempting to do so.
I don't know why I'm even writing this review as everyone in Seattle has already been here to buy a fleece jacket, but I guess I'll continue anyway.
This is a co-op. A real one. You get a dividend as a member in the form of a rebate on future purchases. This is cool for the consumer and for the business. Nice thinking.
They also have a lot. A LOT. Of completely amazingly expensive camping and outdoors gear. Astonishingly expensive considering people have been outside for quite some time now. It's not like we're walking on the moon when you leave the asphalt.
Come here if you want to do the hippie equivalent of going to a dive bar with your hair flicking emocut stylings, brand new ramones t-shirt, with a PBR in one hand and a bummed cig in the other.
"Mmmph!" [traslation: yes it is.]
After a wild goose chase out to the middle of nowhere brought me out here. I thought that someone should get something nice out of the deal when I saw See's, so I ordered a box and had them gift wrap it.
Uh oh! Someone's getting chocolate!
I was surprised to see a chocolate returns policy posted. Who the hell returns chocolate? I asked about it.
"Does anyone really return chocolate?"
*sigh* 'yes.. they do.. and then we have to throw it away.'
Seriously. What kind of lame freak takes chocolate back to the store with a receipt and demands their money back?
If you buy a sweet sweets at a place like this, you'll never buy it at a drug store or grocery ever again.

Tony G Getting Shot Out of a Cannon 30th…
October 26 7:00 PM
This, Yelpers and Yelpettes, is a land of hardcore nerdosity. Fellowship of the Rings with subtitles playing on two tvs. The bouncer flipping through three-ring binders of plastic encased Magic the Gathering cards when he puts down his Gene Wolfe book. The whiteboynerdfros present on the ringleader made me know that everyone in the house was going to appreciate obscure Monty Python lines worked into conversation.
The coffee is bad, but the drinks are stiff and span from the usual top shelf sodomy prices to $2 Rainiers.
I hear they have food, but who cares when you're drinking, making animal noises at your friends inbetween talking like a scalawag and cursing like a pirate.
Don't know what I'm talking about? Classes are held nightly. Come and find out.
