"I really enjoy the food here. My family and I usually get the Cali bento, which has a good variety of food as well as a generous serving chicken katsu, chicken teriyaki, tempura veggies, rice, steamed cabbage, and California rolls. The California rolls are consistently not to our liking, but that's probably just us. Also, their spicy chicken teriyaki is pretty good. A bit on the sweeter side and not spicy enough for me, I'd say maybe 2 out of 5 on the spiciness.Otherwise, we really enjoy getting food their.Parking: The restaurant is located among several other businesses that share the lot. Getting in and out sucks and the parking can be sparse when the area is busy. Of course they can't control the parking situation. Just be aware if it is your first time there."

"From Maryland, where good food is easy to find, unlike Washington. With that out of the way, Primo's is about as good as your going to get. Food is excellent. Service is great and you don't have to worry about tipping (which is a backward culture anyway), since Primo's does an automatic surcharge. Whatever! You do you, Primo...I would classify Primo's as a neighborhood gem. You feel like a winner when you dine there. It took me long enough to find good food here in WA, and I'm thankful. We'll be back."

"This place was recommended by another restaurant staff at place we dine at quite a bit. Pretty good place to start for a recommendation. There’s only street side parking and that can be a little tough but it’s worth it. The service was great, friendly. The place is not small but close and cozy. The food varies with availability but it’s hard to imagine that they don’t make the best of what’s available on a weekly basis. We had the Mac and cheese gnocchi— fantastic! We also had a fresh beet and squash salad— great. Main courses of an earthy broth sturgeon dish and a parsnip dish with risotto. I know, parsnips, but it was really good. Good wine selection too."

"I used to come to this restaurant when I was younger and enjoyed it. It used to be the place to go. I last visited in 2016 until last night in June 2024. To my surprise, it looked exactly the same as before. Initially, I thought it was closed until I tried the door handle. The interior was still drab, dark, and depressing. There were only a few people working, with one waiter out of the three available taking 20 minutes to get our drinks after we sat down. He apologized and mentioned they were short-staffed, but it was unclear why no one else from the front came to assist. The food was the same with no new options. I am shocked that this restaurant is still in business, especially with a popular neighboring restaurant, Gauchos, which we frequent often. The waiter seemed frustrated and mentioned it was his last month due to the unfair treatment of employees, including taking a large percentage of their tips. This is unacceptable. A leadership makeover is necessary to save this establishment."

"We went for Father’s Day so obviously it’s busy. It’s not really all you can eat meat when there’s barely any meat coming to your table. We were sitting for an hour and had about 3 pcs of meat. We understand that it was busy but then people made advance reservations so they should have been aware of the expected guests for that weekend. The meat do not come to your table that often. A friend of mine went the night before and they too had the same horrible experience. They’re stingy and total ripped off for the price. The value of food that I actually ate would have been under $40 for both me and my husband. But I paid $200 tip etc. We got frustrated and just left and will definitely NOT going back to this place. We’ll stick to Fogo de Chão if we are to visit another place like this concept. I’ve been to Fogo a few times… In fairness, our server was really nice and I feel bad that he had to apologize so many times to angry and hungry customers for the incompetence of their Kitchen or executive chef who would have been responsible for the quantification and workflow in the kitchen. Unless their upper management advised them to be stingy and deceive their customers purposely. Please, save your money and go somewhere else. Not worth it. Their sides not even that great. Just go to a regular fine dining restaurant instead if you’re willing to spend that $200 , you’ll have better chances of getting your money’s worth."
