West 122 - Tacoma (WA)

5 /5 Kim Grummel: Decent pub style, tavern food. Only sampled a few dishes off the appetizer menu. All were flavorful and cooked well - favorite was the calamari. Each of us (3) had a cocktail plus 3 apps and total cane to $123 before tip.

5 /5 Elizabeth Perry: The octopus was the best I have ever had. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I already want to go back for more. Everything was delicious. Our waiter Evan was amazing! We will try to be seated with him again next time.

5 /5 Katie Harris: What a gem. We had an amazing dinner. The cocktails were lovely. Calamari was perfectly seasoned and fried. My spaghetti and meatballs were flavorful with just the right amount of kick. We finished the meal with the apple fritter bread pudding and it was delicious. The server was outstanding. We will definitely be back!

5 /5 Kali Akana: Not going to lie, we were pleasantly surprised. This was our first time visiting West 122, we were celebrating our anniversary and looked like a cute place. We were a bit concerned when we first arrived as it was essentially at full capacity and there was only 1 waiter and a gentleman behind the bar. I figured service would be slow or just downright not good. That couldnt have been further from the truth, the waiter was attentive, food came out quickly, he checked in with us frequently. There was ONE time I was trying to get his attention and he didnt hear me but it wasnt long after that he came by our table anyway, so it was no big deal. The appetizers were out of this world amazing. We also got the steak which was cooked perfectly and was SO delicious. The only thing we could complain about was the mushroom risotto, it needed more salt and had a bit too many extra large mushrooms for our personal liking. When it came time for dessert we got the apple fritter bread pudding and that was insanely tasty too. Overall we would LOVE to come back here for many more dates. So glad we took a chance and tried it!

5 /5 Mia Jones: Stopped by on a Saturday evening with reservations for 2, taking mom out for an early thanksgiving celebration. It was quiet upon arrival around 4 PM, but then we quickly noticed groups coming in, and the place filled up. West122 has quickly become one of my favorite dining spots in downtown Tacoma. From the moment we were seated, Joaquin & David were impressively fast and attentive. Each course arrived with just the right amount of space in between—never rushed, never delayed—making the entire meal feel smooth and thoughtfully paced. We started with the octopus, which was incredible. You could taste how fresh it was, tender with just the right amount of char, and seasoned beautifully. It set the tone for what ended up being an unforgettable meal. The pork chop with polenta was a true standout. The pork chop was perfectly cooked—juicy, flavorful, and paired wonderfully with the creamy, rich polenta. Every bite was comforting and absolutely delicious. I was a bit afraid because it was a huge, thick cut, did not disappoint. And the steak? The portion size was impressive, and it arrived remarkably juicy and cooked exactly to order. The flavors were bold, rich, and truly memorable. Honestly, every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. We ordered each a drink, french baguette, two cesars salads, side of octopus, the pork chop and steak. Between the two of us sadly, we had no room for dessert, but an excuse to come back! West122 delivers the ideal combination of quality, creativity, and service. If you’re looking for a place in Tacoma that gets everything right from start to finish, this is it. Highly recommended!
