Pub • Asian • Chinese • Karaoke


"I am going to be honest. This place looks like a dive bar at 9 PM, then turns into the best hangout in West Seattle by 12:30. The karaoke hosts (usually know what they're doing; staff is friendly; Jello Shots are cheap; Chinese food...well...it exists, but nobody comes there for Chinese. Basically, what makes this place amazing is it is the ONLY karaoke spot in West Seattle with a dance floor. And not only a dance floor, a strobing disco ball! The room is built for social dynamics, tables facing inwards, so it's easy to meet people. There is a pool table/room. Occasional fights, but never seen anything worse than the usual, downtown! Used to be a bouncer, but not lately, though everyone is friendly, and it's a mix between regulars and people who know niche hangout spots that secretly rule! Only downside is don't come on weekdays, aside from Friday. It's barren, unless you want to practice! I've had plenty of girls (and guys! buy me drinks, and you should get about 3x songs per night if you arrive at 9 PM. Occasionally, there are open mics. Also, Wendy is secretly good at remembering faces, so if you're a regular, you might score a free beer! Also, the new singer from Queensryche (not Geoff practiced there, so I bought a tank top like his! If you see me in the crowd, say hi! I'm the guy doing Bowie, Floyd, and Billy Idol. Plus a few suicides that suck less than ten drunken 21-year-olds howling N'Sync suicide numbers into the mic, then expecting men to dance to get them attention! Also, if one more bad singer attempts Radiohead's Creep, I will NEVER listen to said 90s band again! In fact, the sports bar next door will be my evacuating spot for the five minutes it takes you to ruin fine art. There are some things even alcohol can't fix. "

"I always had the opinion that Dot Wo was one of the best Chinese restaurants in Oklahoma City, but I ate lunch there today and it was absolutely terrible, easily the worst tasting food I have had anywhere. I had eaten there years ago and recalled that I didn't care for the shrimp and lobster sauce, but I didn't recall why, so I tried again and it was a disaster. I could almost dismiss it as Asian fashion, as everything was off. However, that excuse doesn't work. They substituted ingredients as if the cook had been dishonorably discharged from the service, or maybe came straight from McDonald's. His choices were wrong and horrible, and I couldn't eat it. I challenge you to order friend wontons anywhere, and you will get little chunks of pork or other meat wrapped in a thin skin and fried, at DW you get fried wrappers - yech! Years ago on the East Coast I grew up on shrimp and lobster sauce, a tasty conconcotion of ground pork, peas, green onions, ginger and eggs. It was so good you could make a meal of sauce and boiled rice. Over the years the pork disappearred, but this mess was mostly water chestnuts and mushrooms and tasted like dishwater thickened with corn starch. The egg drop soup came with 1 pack of saltine crackers, no noodles, and chopped water chestnuts - how can anyone screw this up? For the uninformed, fried rice is brown, usually with bits of egg, it's not yellow and devoid of anything else. The rings were either shrimp paste or a microthin slice of shrimp, at least the flavor was reminiscent of shrimp. I took a couple of swallows of my soda and the waiter refilled it johnny on the spot - apparently this was my one legal refill. When I asked for a refill he asked if I wanted to buy another one. $12.76 with tax, and I didn't tip. Avoid this place like the plague."
