Henry "Hanry" T.'s Profile

A must-stop on the drive from Seattle to Portland as it's about halfway in between.

Quick and consistent food, and I love the seasonal items. Usually a cheeseburger basket with and extra cheeseburger makes for an excellent second half of the drive.

A part of this location that I don't like is the accessibility to the drive-thru coming from I-5. For those that have been here, you have to circle the restaurant (if there is a line), or make an awkward U-Turn within the parking lot to place your order.

I love going here any time I go to LA. My mom lives just one stop away on the Metro, and from the station, it is a 5 minute walk to Philippes.

I like the shady decor of the restaurant, peanut shells all over the place, and the counter-style ordering. All the workers are friendly, and would even offer to snap pictures of our group as they walked by.

I tend to get one of the meats with Blue Cheese, double-dipped, and at the table adding hot mustard. Along with a side and drink, it makes for a quick and easy meal that's quite filling. My dad tends to order one of the purple pickled eggs - they are pretty good!

Quite simply my favorite pizza in the area. It's been a while since I've been here, but I'm aching to go back.

The owner's wife was fantastic, telling us about the history of the location and their experiences in New York, including their experience with the infamous Ray's. Her collection of little clay figures that she makes is impressive, and I ended up with a little pig lounging on a couch.

The pizza is amazing, crust and toppings perfect. That's all I can say.

It's hard to describe the ambience here, the pictures do it some justice, but experiencing it in-person is a must.

Good solid food, didn't really know what to order as I just moved in close-by, and I called in and asked for "Spicy Fried Chicken" - chicken wings with some decent batter and spicy sauce, "Chicken Chow Mein", and "General Tso's Chicken". Not too adventurous, but it was the recent snow-day, didn't have the menu, and it was getting late. One shocker was that for the 3 orders and a side of rice, it came to about $40, a little more than expected.

The workers were very friendly despite wanting to get home to avoid snowmageddon, and I was in and out quickly.

Being so close to work and home, I'll try some new things and update.

Went here before UW took on Seattle U at Key Arena.

I was surprised how crowded it got - I arrived at 5pm to an almost-empty restaurant, but within 20 minutes, the bar and whole restaurant started filling up, and by 6pm, it was impossible to find an empty seat.

The bartender was very friendly, but I thought they'd make a bigger deal of "National Margarita Day". He managed the bar very well despite being the only bartender for a full restaurant, even personally delivering my food order (which was tasty as well).

It's a shame I can't make it here more often for games, but when I do, I'll make sure to stop here

I actually really like this liquor store. Sure, it's the same as almost any other one (this one has a great parking as well), with one exceptional feature:

IT IS OPEN UNTIL 10pm ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS!

I'm usually a mess (or on my way to one) when I go here, so I need to give an update once I try everything. I've never had the food, and I've had good and not-as-good experiences with service.

From what I remember (usually after a bottle of vodka with friends, or a happy hour elsewhere), we like this place. The typical good-looking Bellevue crowd (though I overheard someone mention it looks like a mix between cougars, Russians, and hookers) mixed with good drinks, it's tough to beat.

And apologies for the one night I called two random guys "old" for 5 straight minutes. Even if you did deserve it for being rude, it was unnecessary.

Stay tuned for a "more proper" update.

This used to be my go-to spot to nurse Saturday/Sunday hangovers, and I really enjoy going here.

I usually order the Gringo Breakfast (eggs, potatoes, chorizo bacon) or the Steak and Eggs, and I assure you, you cannot go wrong with these dishes. Steak was perfectly cooked, and adding their house hot sauce to any of the above really makes it outstanding.

As a drink, I usually get the Agua Fresco or the Barrio Michelada, which is similar to a Bloody Mary but with beer. A little hesitant at first, I really enjoyed it and after a few, I'm feeling like a million bucks.

The service is always friendly, and Mark S (not there anymore) was always knowledgeable on everything, from the menu, to the drinks, to the history of each drink, etc.

I went here about 5 times in the first few weeks of opening. I've never had a bad experience here, and the food is good, though I think I suffered from the place being overhyped by everyone.

Each time I've gone, I go directly to the bar and never had to wait. It's been about a month since I've been here, so i'm wondering what the lines are like right now (though I've walked by and they've looked similar).

I've tried a number of things on the menu
1. The standard dumplings - definitely good, I wish there was more soup inside as I've had some previously with a lot more.
2. Pork Chop fried rice - also a good dish, pork is very tasty and rice is nicely cooked
3. Crab and pork dumplings - You can definitely taste the crab in here, but it made the pork an afterthought.
4. Pork steamed bun - I really enjoyed this, but they always seem to be out of it, so I'll need to try it again

Overall, the bartenders are always friendly, and I enjoy the food, but for the price, I don't think I'll be a regular. The first time I went here, a party of two cost close to $70, and I didn't think I went overboard on ordering.

I really do like going here. Food is consistent and not a bad deal.

The person who is always there (owner?) is always friendly, though she always asks me the same questions or makes the same comments every time I go in, such as "Oh, you're not working today?" or "Oh! You are hungry today!" Again, she's very nice and pleasant, though those are often repeated on each visit.

I always order the same thing - a #12 with salt and pepper, with salad, and with brown rice. This includes a half chicken and a skewer of beef - probably more than what I should eat in one sitting, but I do enjoy it! Chicken can tend to be dry, but the beef is actually quite tender. I'm pretty sure these are all pre-cooked, and she just heats them up on the grill.

Always friendly, always quick, decent food, I can count on a consistency here.
