Teriyaki with Ducks ?!!? GINGER TERIYAKI

No they don't serve DUCK. But they do feed two ducks that have been visiting seasonally for about 4 years.  These Ducks actually stare inside the window looking for the guy who comes out to feed them. But enough about birds.  The GINGER TERIYAKI is the best teriyaki place in Renton.  We love their quick service, the way they grill their chicken, the clean interior, and the location: right across from Bank of  America ATM Machine.

I usually have the Spicy Chicken w a side order of Gyoza.  My eating partner had a salad because she had dined earlier.  If you were to look at the portions, you could split a meal if you wanted to actually follow dietary standards and eat smaller quantities.  But I usually do not.  I enjoy the feeling of a complete Teriyaki overdose.

The menu has your typical variety of dishes that our Great

Ginger Teriyaki received 4 out of 5 stars on Yelp

Been To Mexico Lately?

We have not been eating out lately so our blog has been lacking.  No more, No Mas !!!! 

My wife and I have eaten tacos with the best of them.  From a taco wagon named "Taco Rey" with Marcos and Rene in Sanger, CA. back in the mid 1980's, to the eastern hills above Ensenada where only the locals eat.  From Coachella Valley near Palm Springs, to a

small taco shop in East L.A. 

 WE HAVE EATEN TACOS.

HERE IS RENTON'S BEST KEPT SECRET

Their food is great !!!!  I love their tacos, and my wife loves their Sopes.  There are pictures of what you want to eat.  The menus is authentic and the people who own and run the restaurant are genuine.

Their food and Salsa Bar puts Taqueria El Rinconcito to shame.  We happened to sample their Avocado Salsa that was creamy and had a nice bite to it. I will give you a hint, VERDE color.

My wife had Sopes : Delicious

A Sample of their Menu

I know there are a bunch of taco places in Renton.  Save your energy and time.  Just stop by Primo Tacos and sample the good life.  You almost think you are on vacation when you do.

Smoking Monkey ? PIZZA !!!!

We have been to this new pizza place twice in the past two weeks and have come to the conclusion:  Its Gooooood !!


It is located across the street from the Renton downtown plaza where the farmers market takes place in the spring and summer.


We had always stated the Renton needs pizza by the slice.  Well, it is here and it delivers the goods.

We experimented a bit and went with a Kale Salad and the "Norton" pizza.  The Kale was a stretch for me.  Having been used to traditional salads, I found that the Kale was too much work for me and a bit rough.  Don't get me wrong, it has a unique taste, but when I order a salad, I want more weight too it.


The "Norton" was great.  It is a thin crusted pizza named after the honeymooners character, I think.  Either way, we liked it.  


Our waitress was Sanna, pronounced Sanay.  She was wonderful and was always there to take care of our needs, the culinary kind.
The pizza guru was Gustavo who knows how to work magic in this brick oven. Check out the menu.  There is great variation.  If you get the chance.  Stop by and have a slice.

Heaven Sent Fried Chicken !!!

Do you want some Fried Chicken, Spicy or Original?  Then head to "Heaven Sent" located across from the old Big 5 Sporting Goods Store.  I made a quick stop today and sampled a "Snack".


Two spicy pieces (Breast and Wing) w a roll.  It was hot and delicious.  They were out of one of the pieces but it only took 4 minutes to get one prepared.  Prices, People, and the Food was excellent.  


The owner and cook is Ezell Stephens !!! Thats right, Ezell.  Sound Familiar.  It should.  You have been eating his chicken for many years in the Pacific Northwest.

Now it is here in Renton.  Enjoy! Grab some napkins! and be prepared to taste some Delicious Cluck.
