Jennifer Man When my Korean friends in Portland tell me that I need to travel to Federal Way for the best seolleongtong in the NW, then I will make a way. The first taste transported me back to Seoul. The broth is so comforting and nourishing. Both the cabbage and the radish kimchi are very fresh and delicious. And don’t miss the seafood pajeon! The crisp outside texture and the thickness of the pancake were right on. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Really can’t wait to go back!

Ebrahim Aldabashi Absolutely, let’s put that into a nice little review for you! ⸻ Review for the Italian Restaurant Next Door I recently opened a convenience store right next to this charming Italian restaurant, and I have to say, I’ve gotten totally hooked on their pizza. The one I keep ordering is their “Create Your Own” pizza, and it’s honestly amazing. The veggies are always super fresh, the toppings are just right, and the staff is genuinely friendly every single time. Plus, they always get my order out quickly, which is a huge bonus. Definitely a go-to spot for a delicious and friendly experience!

Rogue Saint Food was delicious & spicy. Ordered Mongolian Beef, Happy Family & Mapo Tofu (very spicy). I was surprised that NO white rice came with the entrees. Ordering thru Ubereats went smooth. I recommend this place. I look forward to trying other foods on the menu.

Laura Humphrey It is a delivery pizza place. And my husband and I really liked the supreme pizza we got. The bread stick thing though was very hard and crunchy. We also got a chicken and meatball for our kids and it was fine but nothing great. The sauce tasted like it was from a jar so my kids liked it but I wouldn’t have wanted it.

Christopher Fulbright After living next to a Black Bear in AZ we had high expectations for the ones in WA. A few years ago we went to another location and were so disappointed we havent been back since. We saw some great reviews of this location a decided to give it a shot and absolutely loved it! Great service, clean and quiet atmosphere and the food came out fast and was perfect! Thank you for returning our love for Black Bear Diners, we will definitely be back soon.

Gur Singh My breakfast here was an epic feast! Youve been warned: the portions are truly, unbelievably HUGE. Were talking pancakes the size of wheels, a cinnamon roll that could double as a bowling ball, and hash browns and omelets that stretch out to a footlong. The food was phenomenal and bursting with flavor, but youll definitely need a game plan, and maybe a friend or two; to finish it all. The scale of the meal is just as impressive as the taste!

Karen Mason We haven’t been to RR for awhile and decided we wanted to go. Our server Kalayna was a breath of fresh air, just so kind, bubbly personality. She was so patient and very accommodating ( I wanted the fish burger) that wasn’t on the menu. She was able to get it ordered, just the way I wanted. Tarter on the side, extra tarter for my fries. We got full eating our fries and appetizer. She brought us containers, gave us extra chips to take with the ones we had that were eaten halfway. She helped me log on to my rewards account. She made sure our carry out bag was big enough. Just a wonderful server and certainly made me want to come to the Lakewood RR again.

Luella2u We sat in the bar. I had the BBQ Mac and Cheese. I thought there was too much BBQ sauce on it, but otherwise it was good. My son had a burger and he said it was good. Our friend had fish and chips and they were very good. Although it was Veterans day, it wasnt particularly busy. Service was good and prices were fine.

Michele Minich Id like to say I could post more pictures, but I keep eating the food too fast to pause. Ive been wanting to try out El Antojo and finally made it in. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. They explain what comes with the combo meals and everything is fresh made. I love papusas and they make them right in front of you. I could just cry. Ive been twice in two weeks and cant wait to go back.
