Curtis L.'s Profile

Our friends turned us on to this place.  Apparently I've been here a decade ago when I worked up here but I have no recollection of it.  This is the closest good Thai place to our house we have been here a few times and taken out many times.  The food is good and tastes home cooked.  Service is pretty good but they can get busy.  Place is not too big and sparsely decorated.  Pretty clean though.  Their prices are reasonable since their portions are a little larger.  We just stick to the standard dishes here so you can't go wrong with those.  This is just one of those good Thai fall  back place for us.

Meat Loaf Sandwich...Huge...Great Service.  Seating is a little tight but prices are good for the size of sandwich.  Eat in back or take away from window in front.  Great bakery goods too.  Not just a tourist destination, locals are welcome and encouraged.

My friend recommended this place.  A small hole in the wall to go for what he calls the best Taiwanese in town.  I came here with my friend for lunch and we tried their beef noodle soup.  The soup was hot and savory.  Pretty large portions and I like the hand shaven noodles.  It's about 7.50 per bowl and enough to share with a friend as I found out.  The place is small and filled up shortly after 11:30am.  They did open a sister restaurant two storefronts down if this place gets full.  Service is average and a little slow because they are busy.  I'll have to come back to see what the rest of the menu is like.

Go Green and Brent live up to the Yelp hype.  After researching Angie's List, Yelp and calling/emailing around, we decided to go with Go Green because of price, reviews, availability and the preference for a small owner run business.  Brent was able to respond in a reasonable time.  He was flexible when we added more work.  He quoted the best price around and was able to honor the Yelp discount without purchasing the deal.  He also gave us a reduction on the stain protection.  It was 225 for 4 bedrooms, living room, dining room and stairs. Area rugs were 50 cents per sq ft and stain protection is 25 per sq ft.  Brent was very timely to the appointment and work in a professional and efficient manner.  He was very knowledgeable and pointed out things he noticed. We would recommend this outfit if you need and carpet or rugs cleaned.

I have been here a couple times now.  We have some connection to the owner so my family frequents the restaurant.  They used to be located on Weller street in Chinatown right across from Sun Ya and had a BBQ storefront. We would cater some work event from them.  The owners are the two employees and are really nice.  The food is good but can be heavy at times.  Their prices are great.  The place is a little dirty as you can expect with a hole in the wall mom and pop restaurant.  The two time we visited this newer location, there interesting things going on.  The first time, a customer that ordered a beer squatted in the bathroom for an hour before police arrived to get him to leave.  The second time, there was some guy sitting in a car out front and loitering for a while before he disappeared across the street.  That stuff happens since the area is not the best.  If you are looking something good, quick and cheap, this is the stop.  Just don't expect any fine dining.

I went here with my friend for the $1 Groupon Friday.  The restaurant was full up front so we sat in the back  hidden room with the view of the glass blowers next door.  Unfortunately, since it was hidden and they only had 2 people on staff, service was slow.  The food was forgetful as it was run of the mill.  My pad thai was a little on the soft side but tasted normal.  We paid using our Groupon and the remaining few dollars, they told us we couldn't pay with a credit card.  Upon being presented with a twenty, they said they had no change so we had to use a credit.  Not a good note to leave on and most likely I will not be returning.

We came here for a group lunch and baby shower.  It was a Wednesday and we were able to snag their large table for the eight of us before it got too busy.  It was surprising full when we left.  They were very accommodating and took good care of us. The menu is short and sweet but if you don't listen carefully, you might still be a little confused what you get since you can make many combinations.  We started with the sampler for the group.  Known for their dips, we gave them a try.  Spot on.  The Tzatziki, Hummus and Babaganoush were fresh, flavorful and had good texture.  I had the lamb souvlaki sandwich is was good.  I like the roasted pepper paste they added.  The lamb was tender but there was tendon in mine. The others enjoyed the daily special which was short rib meatballs on rice pilaf and a salad.  They said it was just the right amount and tasted great. A couple others had the lamb and chicken meze and like that you can pick the sides.  Both tasted good.  Overall the service was good, food was good, atmosphere was good (there was a child's play area) and price was okay.  There was nothing that blew me away but I would recommend you give them a try if you are in the neighborhood.

I was here with the group that G C. and Matt N. wrote about in their reviews. I agree with it and would like to add my 2 cents.  I had the burger, which was surprisingly good and priced well (~$8). Salad was overdressed so ask for dressing on the side.  Water was always topped off and no problems about staying the entire UW football game.  They made sure it was on the the TV per our request.  A very chill place for drinks, bites and hanging out especially for sports peeps.  Come check it out and maybe you will run into the reign man.  I hope we get our Sonics back.

Saw good reviews for this place and always wanted to try.  I headed here for lunch with a couple of friends from out of town.  We arrived around 12:30.  The open sign wasn't out or on.  Door was unlocked and I poke my head in and was told they were just opening.  It was a quiet Tuesday and we were the only diners besides a to go order.  We order a pulled pork sandwich, pulled brisket sandwich and the rib tips plus a couple sides (beans and coleslaw).  Prices are really good.  5.50 for the sandwiches, 1.50 for the sides and the 7 for the tips.  All came in large portions and piping hot.  My friend enjoyed the sandwiches.  One said the beef was on the dry side.  Side were run of the mill.  The rib tips were very saucy and some pieces were dry.  Overall, not bad.  The service could be better.  Just took our order and gave us food.  Nice people but it seems like unless you were a regular, it's just business as usual. Pros - Good BBQ, great prices, large portions, and easy street parking.  Cons - Dining room is small (4 tables) and service could be better.  I would recommend this place for some good BBQ.

This place is the real deal.  The sandwich shop to be at in the north end.  After driving by this place for years and hearing about how good it was, we finally made it in.  Why did I not visit sooner?  The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is laid back.  All the ingredients in the sandwich are made to order so expect to wait unless you call it in.  The prices seem high but the portions are large.  Enough for two people.  We split 3 sandwiches among 5 people.  The catfish was the tastiest.  Moist and flavorful.  The Goomba was good.  The Dipper was on the dry and tough side.  I would stick with their popular items (meatball and sausage variants) which we will try next time.  Sandwiches are around $10 and worth it.  Service is good as it is order at the counter establishment. I would recommend that you give it a try.
