I also want to mention how polite and helpful the staff were; this is the only place I visit frequently because of their top-notch service!

Unfortunately, I didn’t have my glasses, so I asked the employee about the expiration date. He told me it was the 6th, but it was already the 17th, and he assured me they would still be good for another two weeks. Not thinking to check the container, I brought them home on ice. The next day, when I opened them, I found them sitting in brown, murky water. They smelled fine, so I rinsed them off. After just three minutes in the skillet, they shrank to about 10% of their original size, and a brown, murky foam came off of them. I took a small sample bite, and it was extremely sour. I ended up throwing them away and wasting $58. I would give them zero stars if that were an option. - Mike Steffen, Tacoma
