"Yesterday morning, we were discharged from the hospital with our newborn. Tonight, we were craving a hot meal and decided to order from Pops. Unfortunately, what we received was more like a gross, cold meal. We placed our order at 4:15pm on 9/23, and the delivery driver arrived at 4:48pm (despite only being 2 miles away). We were disappointed with the cold dinner and have decided we will not be ordering from them again. The service was a letdown, the meal type was dinner, and the price per person was $50-100. Overall, we rated the food a 1 out of 5."

"Enjoy this place every so often. We usually eat in the bar. Bartender is always friendly. Food is great. Especially their goat cheese bruschetta!! OMG drooling!! I only hope your experience doesn’t include someone’s terrible table manners of blowing their nose and leaving the dirty wads of napkin/tissue on the counter of the bar. Some people need to be taught table manners even as an adult!! However, that doesn’t reflect my opinion on the restaurant itself. I’ll still come back and hope that my bar mates have better manners. And be sure to order the goat cheese bruschetta with balsamic reduction over the top!!! It was so good I couldn’t get a picture of it because we inhaled it!"

"The sushi bar at this restaurant offers great fresh raw fish dishes, but I would advise against ordering anything other than seafood. I tried the tonkatsu and fried shrimp, and while the shrimp was crispy and delicious, the tonkatsu was overcooked and lacked any crispiness. I ended up giving up on it after just a few bites. In conclusion, seafood dishes are a safe bet, but the kitchen entrees may not meet your expectations."

"Decently maintained establishment with quick service, excellent hospitality, and large entrees which complimented the pricing.Opinion:Initially, I was skeptical about the establishment due to the higher prices for simple dishes. My sentiment didn't get much better after I left to wash my hands and noticed that a portion of the men's restroom was used as a storage or closet space. Also that the lighting appeared dim giving it an odd vibe.Returning to the table, we decided to over order since we were unsure of the portions and were afraid that food would be grossly overpriced, but to our shock, the food arrived extremely fast and the portions were well worth the pricing.Everything that we ordered tasted great, my only qualms were that (1) my poke bowl had too much lettuce and onions which I couldn't help but to think was to simply fill the bowl, (2) that the poke bowl probably should've come with a side of seaweed salad instead of lettuce salad since it already came with a healthy portion of it, and (3) that most menu items came with krab meat, or imitation crab, which is a bit of a turn off since it seems to lack authenticity.The breakdown of each category is as follows...Atmosphere:Excellent design and layout. The artwork, music, and aesthetics made for a very welcoming environment and complemented the style very nicely. Though, I do feel like the restrooms are due for an upgrade in lighting and style.Service:The staff was friendly, warm, and very aware of the needs of the customer. If we ever finished an item then they were there to clear the table of empty dishes without disrupting our meal.Food:Though the food may appear pricey, it's actually reasonable given the large quantity of meat that you are given in each roll. Don't be offset by the words 2 pieces in reference to the quantity of meat in each roll their two pieces are large, trust me on that one. To reiterate, we over ordered due to not understanding that the prices are high because they are double the portions that you would get anywhere else.I do feel like they tried to fluff up the poke bowl with lettuce, which was a bummer, but it did still have quite a bit of salmon in it, so I wasn't too upset.Also, I must note the food arrives extremely fast which is a huge bonus.Overall:It's a nice establishment, but the menu items aren't something that I will want to revisit often. I'll give it 4 stars since the food and service made up for the price, but I would like to see the few adjustments mentioned in my review before I ever think about a 5 star. But, with that said, I would still recommend Koharu to anyone who asks for a solid Japanese restaurant in the area."

"My son and I had an amazing dinner! I ordered the Curry Chicken Noodle Soup and it was full of deep aromatic flavors, absolutely delicious! My son had the Spicy Basil Pork Fried Rice, which was made with fresh and flavorful ingredients - so yum! We also shared a dessert plate of Sticky Rice Mango, which was unique and delicious. We will definitely be coming back here more often. The restaurant is small, very clean, and has tasteful interior decor. It's also nice and quiet inside. If you're ever in Federal Way, don't hesitate to stop by and give it a try!"
