Reviews
I’ve lived in the Seattle area for nearly ten years, and this was hands down one of the worst breakfasts I’ve ever had.
The fried rice arrived cold, not lukewarm—actually cold—especially the rice on top, which is simply unacceptable for a freshly served hot dish. Worse, it had a noticeably off, stale taste. I can’t say which ingredient caused it, but the overall flavor was not fresh and made my stomach feel uncomfortable after eating it.
The bacon was also very poor in texture and flavor. The toast was fine, but that was the only acceptable part of the meal.
Service was equally disappointing. While every other table in the restaurant was served proper coffee mugs, we were given paper cups, which immediately felt careless and inconsistent.
Despite all of this, I still left a 10% tip, because I believe in being fair. However, that does not change the fact that this breakfast was deeply unsatisfying, both in food quality and service.
I rarely write negative reviews, but this experience genuinely fell far below expectations.
The employees were nice enough, but they were very nonresponsive
Food was bland, which was surprising after all the reviews. The clubhouse sandwich was plain and completely disintegrated, and the mashed potatoes and mac salad both tasted like they came from a grocery store counter
I’ll say that the Portuguese sausage and beef (from Da Kanak Attack) were both good, but I have no intentions of ever returning
Surprising, honestly, since they I’ve had a fine experience at the Lynnwood location
Finally, we made it to this restaurant! When I heard who owned the restaurant, I was sold immediately! First impressions, amazed by the history, the photos of different celebrities that visited this location, and the different art that was given to the restaurant. The only downfall is the place can use some cleaning. The table we sat at has a plant next to it, and it was caked in dust. Other than that, the service was good, and the vibe was chill. Now the food, damn the food was amazing. Also, the positions….lol well let’s just say, I hope you’re hungry. Good size positions and flavors are to die for.
Today, my girl got the Lau Lau plate, I picked the build your own Loco moco, which consisted of fried rice, spam, hamburger patty, and gravy. Omg, the banana wrapped pork was amazing. Pork was supper tender and just melts. The Loco moco was super good. The fried rice alone was supper good. For dessert, we got the guava cake and haupia cake. Omg, again, super good. The guava cake you can tell the guava spread was made fresh. The haupia cake had a nice subtle, but yet nice flavor,
Overall, we love this place, and plan to visit the other location 🙂
Both of our dishes we ordered were fabulous and flavorful. It took a good 20minutes for our food to arrive and the portions were a good size. Don’t want Macaroni salad? You can sub for veggies. We thought a Tues night would be slow but they were relatively busy for their dinner service. The place seems like it could use some TLC but it’s still cute and a humble set up.
The staff were also great, quite attentive and friendly. Made some great recommendations:) We came here to celebrate a birthday and it was lovely.
Ps. They do run out of their cakes so they don’t always have dessert
The only unfortunate part was the cleanliness and upkeep of the restaurant. There was a heavy layer of dust on the faux plants hanging over our table, decor, and window coverings, the paneling was breaking that lined the walls, and the carpet and flooring were clearly in need of replacing/repairing/or cleaning, the bathroom (womens), had cobwebs coming from the ceilings and a layer of dust on top of everything. It’s as though only the tables and chairs and counters tops were being regularly cleaned. For a restaurant this busy, it’s just unfortunate to see it in this state. I did not post photos as I didn’t want to take away from the delicious food. This did cause a reduction in stars.
