This artistic and entertaining style of cooking is a favorite to the thousands of guests we have served since 1998 at our Federal Way restaurant. Fresh seafood, steaks, vegetables and rice are perfectly seasoned and grilled to order.

Tokyo Steak House guests dine grill side experiencing the authentic cooking skills of our talented chefs who juggle hot flames and sharp knives while artistically create a delicious meal for their guests. Our guests relish in the aroma of our special herbs and seasonings and enjoy a completed meal fresh off the grill.

Located in historic downtown Tacoma, The Melting Pot provides a unique, interactive dining experience in a casually elegant, intimate atmosphere.

Choose from 1, 2, 3, or more courses, including savory cheeses prepared tableside, fresh salads with house-made dressings, tempting meats and seafood, and of course, creamy chocolate fondue served with an array of delicious dippers. Complement your selections with a specialty cocktail, craft beer, or glass of wine from our extensive wine list. No matter what menu items you choose, or how many courses you order, we encourage you to savor every moment.

Went on a Mother’s Day date with my small child. There was a curated menu and everything was new. This was fun experience and pretty exciting to try dipping the food and cooking it. Food was just ok for the most part but I think the experience made it worthwhile. I also enjoyed the cocktail I had. It was also new, gin and champagne poured over cotton candy. They had a “kids cocktails” which my child enjoyed the chocolate milk which was actually chocolate milk with ice cream and syrup. Cj, our host was new but I’d say he also did a pretty great job with us.

About the restaurant
Welcome to the Powder Room, where swankiness meets fun and bubbles flow freely! As two enterprising women and avid bubble enthusiasts, we saw a void in our area for a place that encompassed everything we craved—a meeting space, a refreshing oasis, a haven for celebrations or forgetfulness of worries. Thus, the Powder Room was born.

Our journey has been a long time in the making, fueled by years of conversations and dreams. As single moms, business owners, and lifelong residents of Tacoma, we found solace in our shared love for travel, good times, and of course, champagne. With the support and excitement of our daughters and "adopted daughters," the Powder Room has become a space where connection is celebrated and joyful indulgence is encouraged.

Join us on this extraordinary adventure as we create a haven for all things fabulous like the newest champagne trends, champagne gift ideas, or champagne cocktail recipes at the Powder Room!

Communication with the restaurant for a slight update on reservations was good and prompt. Staff were all very nice and aware, in a positive way, that it was a busy day (Mother's Day). Food was very good, notably the hollandaise on the benedict was deliciously light and my dad said the steak from the steak and eggs dish was tender and he considered it a top steak he's had.
