The food was very delicious. The waitress couldn't speak english so she brought us someone who could translate the menu as well. She helped us a lot actually. The only problem was that the pizza we ordered, one slice was slightly wet. The crust was soggy as if it had been dipped in water. But it was only a corner of the crust so I don't know what it could've been. Aside from that everything was good. Oh Magia... You haven\'t aged well my friend. \n\nAbout 10 years ago I spent a year living a few blocks away from Magia. This was my favorite local eatery within a 5 min walk. \n\nA decade later, on a whim, I decided to return. It was kinda like running into an ex you haven\'t seen in a long time. A little fun for the first few minutes... but you\'re really left with "wow... What happened to her?". Sure the implants and Botox have helped, but it\'s just masking what once was. \n\nThe menu looks the same, but dementia has set in, they have forgotten how to make my old favorites. I started with the warm goat cheese salad. I used to dream of this salad at night! But what I got was, well, it was disheartening. \n\nAnyway... I won\'t be calling her back. It was too awkward, and I don\'t see it getting better over the next few years either. This is a sureshot in Longueuil. When you want to be sure that everybody will find something they like, I take them here.\n\nI you have a dinner, I strongly suggest to site inside. The reason: to much traffic.\n\nThe service is always good. ATMOSPHERE: Its a beautiful restaurant both inside and out. I loved eating here in the summer on the terrasse. The hanging lights and decor are lovely and the ambiance is great.\n\nFOOD: The food was ok. It wasn't the best I've ever had and the pastas seem to be swimming in oil which I was definitely not a fan of. Taste-wise, it was decent. Portions are on the smaller side in my opinion as well. It didn't fill me up which was disappointing. \n\nPRICE: Its slightly expensive but not too bad. However, for the size that you're getting, it's not too worth it. \n\nSERVICE: The service was good but they were slow. I find that the staff is more French than English but that's to be expected in the South Shore. Took table outside, best spot no doubt. The staff is friendly and accommodating, polite. I was referred to this restaurant by several people, I was told it was a bit pricey, I was surprised to see that my bill really wasn't that bad at all once we were done.\n\nReason why I am giving 3 stars is the quality of the food. It was disappointing. Out of 4 dishes ordered, it was only the salad with bocconcini that I enjoyed. My son and I ordered the salad, octopus, skewed pork and another 'beige' dish which looked like organic baby food. Maybe it was our poor selection of dishes (hey let's try this), this meal was disappointing, over cooked, strange sauce for octopus (actually pretty awful), best part was salad which I can whip up in 3 minutes at home.\n\nI may return for a terrace 5-7 with friends for drinks, I do like the spot, I'll skip the menu next time.

I know some people that love this place, but have never understood the enthusiasm. The food is not that good. Mac cheese, shepherd's pie, and burger are mediocre at best. Beer selection is just ok. Service is slow and inattentive, even on nights when it's not that crowded. The best feature is the TV set up. It's also a bit pricey versus their local competition. I'll go if a friend insists but, overall, not a good value. Food is ok. Staff is friendly, but very slow and for some reason everything has to come out one plate at a time. I've been here a couple times for lunches with my co-workers and also with just my family. Doesn't seem to matter what day or time it is, but the place is slow and hardly ever busy. Most of the food on the menu isn't even Irish. The atmosphere and staff will bring me back. The food, probably not. There were actually eight in my party and only one person enjoyed their food. Could it be that we were there for a very busy time during the Ohio State game? Maybe? But I would hope for better consistency whether you're busy or not.\nAll of our meals were overcooked. And the mac & cheese bowl pictured was literally cheese and hot sauce on top with very little noodles and almost no chicken. I didn't send it back because I thought hey I will take this home and fix it up. After two days in my refrigerator it was thrown away. Sports pub...good. Food...bad. Recently opened up and this place is really nice. Great main bar. Second bar isn't bad either stopped in for a beer and received excellent service from Carly and Katie! From what I saw of the food it looked really tasty, the nachos are ginormous!\n\nDecent beer selection, 20 drafts with few seasonals. Few craft bottles. Hop devil, dubhe...\n\nCan't wait to come back and try the food! Great atmosphere! Don't go here if your a Pittsburgh fan. They have all the channels except Root Sports. 120 miles from Pittsburgh you would expect them to purchase the channel. Nope!!! Manager could care less.

Still trying to get it right... Went there last Saturday night and of course it was busy. However the service was fine except our server was in the weeds, an older gentleman and seemed he could only focus on one task at a time. My main concern was the food. That being said, the salad and soup were their usual hits, it's pretty hard to mess up this restaurants franchise staples and were to our expectation. However our main entree course's were not up to par. I had the seafood mare which was a large dish but the pasta was over cooked and the sauces were quite bland, the lobster ravioli was dried up and the sauce was too hot, ( it was breaking up and separating, butter and cream.) My girlfriend had the eggplant parm and that was overcooked and dried out. Our server upsold me a Italian margarita that had armaretto shot served with it and it was quite horrible to say the least. I think this place has to work on their food more before I would feel comfortable coming back. Also had our payment on the table for over 20 minutes before our server brought the check and then he hovered at the table while we signed the credit card slip which I am not a big fan of. I would not recommend this place to anyone. When we first started coming here staff was amazing and friendly. The last 2 times the service was horrible. Each time we waited 20 plus minutes and the last time i had to go up front and ask if we were going to be waited on. Also noted the portion sizes have dramatically decreased. We love Olive Garden and this one is close. For now on we will travel further when we have a craving for OG. We will not be going to this one again. This place is great for informal and formal. Great service and great food. Managers do rounds every few to check on everyone. It was much appreciated. We stopped in on NEW YEARS DAY and got incredibly fast and pleasant service! Food was delicious and consistent as always. Really appreciate that. Well they have excellent food we have found there are far too many children screaming and yelling in the regular part of the restaurant so if the bar is not open we leave because it is just too upsetting to have all these children screaming and yelling and the stupid moronic parents looking at their cell phones are talking to each other and paying absolutely no mind to their children screaming and yelling and acting up so if the bar is an open we walk out if you ever put children in the bar area will leave and never come back

Great place for crepes..delicioussss!!! Very nice French owners! Highly recommended :-) \n\n...\n...,,\n...... I came to Chez vous a few weeks ago for a late breakfast, and was pleasantly surprised! I lived in Lyon a little while ago and I really really really miss good crepes. I had the Crepe Campagne, which has fingerling potatoes, swiss and prosciutto in it. It was absolutely delicious! True to form, I also got a nutella and banana dessert crepe, as well as a coffee. It did not disappoint! The coffee was a tad weak, but other than that the meal was fantastic.\n\nThe decor is very cute but modern at the same time. I love the plates on the wall, and the wonderful color scheme. The service was prompt but not pushy and i got to practice my french a bit. I cant wait to come back! A croque madame (French ham and cheese sandwich) is so tough to find in Arizona! I cannot speak to the quality of food nor will I ever at this sore excuse for a restaurant. I called and emailed this restaurant several days ago to find out if they had anywhere my 89 year old father could sit while waiting for a table on Mother's Day due to no reservations. No response. Went there with my family of five a few minutes ago and asked woman (owner?) how long the wait would be...45 minutes. Started to explain I had emailed to see if anywhere for my dad to sit while we waited. Male owner loudly snapped at me in front of everyone that they didn't have time to deal with me. Wow. Very sad. Very rude. We left. Karma will be yours. I will write again when I hear your doors have closed forever. The crepes were great! The service was terrible. The waiter rushed us after sitting over 20 minutes waiting for some assistance. We were paying in cash, intending to leave a cash tip as well once we got the change back. The waiter then made a snobby comment under his breath about not tipping the waitress. So inappropriate! Won't be going back again.

The food was fantastic and the service was as well. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. I'm a fan of Robert Irvine's television program, Restaurant Impossible. I wanted to see if he implemented in his own restaurant, all of the things he talks about on his show. From my vantage point he did. I would have loved to take a behind the scenes tour of the restaurant. I will definitely be visiting again. Great food and service. We went early in the day but it seemed crazy to stay with no happy hour vs the competition. We came back and ate at the bar. James the bartender was new to the restaurant but was excellent in his people skills. We started with the buffalo wings which were a nice blend of flavor but not to the point of overpowering. We also had the crab balls which were ok in themselves but with the sauces were pretty good. For the main course, We had the Shepard pie and the duck confit. The Shepard s pie lacked character it was neither good not bad. Just blah. But my meal was the duck. It was a great balance of acidity on the kale, the duck fatty meat and the crisp of the skin. A high recommend. For desert we tried the chocolate mouse and then the apple pie. The mousse lacked character but had good crunch on the crumble on it. The apple pie was pretty good and a little novel being served in a jar. Cost added up to what is comparable with some of the more upscale restaurants in the area but with the service, i would put it on par with them. Fantastic sliders!! The service was prompt and polite. I'm looking forward to having a full meal to deliver a more helpful review. Went to dinner here last night with some friends. First off it is a great space. The topiaries were throwing me off a bit though. Anywho this a review for the food we were able to get. Shoestring fries and scampi toast to start were yummy. I had the salmon nicoise which was perfect, others had the Guinness pie and steak. A nice bottle of Rose rounded out the meal. The cookie dessert was also worth the 20 minute wait required. Now the reason for the four star review instead of five is that they were out of mashed potatoes so certain items on the menu were unavailable. Having made mashed potatoes many times in my life I was perplexed. Are they out of potatoes? Maybe they were. Are there other restaurants in the hotel/casino to get them from? Yes, of course. In the time frame we were there I could have made my own. Tropicana has not been one of my top picks for dining so I was excited to see a new restaurant opening on property. This restaurant is located on the casino level, not upstairs with the other restaurants.\n\nI dined with a friend and since neither of us was starving we decided to share a meal. We started with the Mixed Heirloom Tomatoes & Grilled Ciabatta. This was an awesome starter that we both loved. The avocado and lemon ricotta on the toast was so good. It definitely gave the salad a nice pop of flavor. The portion on this was generous and was perfect to share between two people. \n\nFish & Chips made for our main entr\xc3\xa9e. The fish was a nice large piece that was flaky inside and crispy on the outside. We both liked the fish. The chips were pretty good, but we both agreed that the malted curry aioli was not the best flavor. My friend and I aren't picky eaters so it's unusual for us to dislike something. I think the chips would have been better without the sauce. We found ourselves picking through the fries trying to find some that didn't have sauce on them.\n\nThe finale to the meal was the Warm Bread Pudding. It was between this and Banoffee Pie. I asked about the two and the waiter explained that the banoffee is served cold and the bread pudding is served hot. The bread pudding wasn't out of this world for either of us. The strawberry anglaise and rhubarb chutney were really good, but the bread part didn't have much flavor. I don't think I would order this again. \n\nOur waiter was great. He was friendly and attentive. He had good information about the menu when I asked and he definitely knew the menu well. The staff assisting him was on top of water refills and clearing empty plates. \n\nOverall, the best casual option at The Tropicana. The service and food were good so I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Went out to eat for my last night in North Carolina . Found a piece of hair wrapped up in the napkin . Was gonna let it go because wasn't using that silverware . Order stuffed mushrooms when they come I eat one but the second one I picked up I find a piece of hair wrapped in the mushroom . Literally baked into the mushroom . Manger comes over she was nice but tried to say it's because they're peeling the corn back there in the kitchen now , that it was probably corn hair that we found . Had to correct her and let her no it was Hair . She said she would take half of on our bill . Then ask what I was drinking . I let her know a soda . She said she would get me a refill . 6 min go by still don't have one . Ask the waiter if I can get a refill ? He never comes back with one . My fianc\xc3\xa9 had to go up to the bar and ask for one his self . Because we were waiting So long . Place wasn't even that busy . When our waiter brought out the food I ask for more sour cream for my Bake potato. Waiter never came. Back until it was time to go and he's like oh I forgot something does she still want that . Slowest place ever . I wouldn't recommend going here unless you want human hair in your food . 2.5 stars. \n\nWhat\'s good is pretty good (3.5) but the bad was really bad (1) \nThe dramatic looking decor sets the stage but .... we went there for lunch today, it was busy but not crazy busy. \n\nWe started by splitting a garlic mussel appetizer. For some reason the runner dropped the bowl of mussels at the other end of the table where no one was sitting and just walked away. WTF? I retrieved it myself \n\nIt looked nothing at all like their ad, instead it was a bowl of totally dry and overcooked mussels with a tiny bit of brine at the bottom. And that tiny bit of sauce tasted like beer and salt water. No butter, absolutely no garlic, NOTHING simply the worst bowl of mussels in my lifetime. Between the two of us we ate half the bowl and gave up. And of course our "I\'m too pretty to care" waitress didn\'t offer to exchange it for anything else. As first impressions go this one really sucked. \n1 star\n\nMy S.O. ordered the Lobster chowder and Caesar - "no, we have no anchovies", m\'kay. I order the 7 oz flat iron steak, medium rare w/fries ($13) What salad do I want? I didn\'t know it came with a salad "I\'ll take the Caesar."\n \nA long long long time later the food arrives. They forgot my salad, the steak is pepper rubbed, almost blackened, which I didn\'t expect. The meat was nice and red and with the rub it tasted great, albeit a little too spicy -medium rare is not long enough to tame this much pepper but since it was just a small portion it was OK. The fries were good too. The heat started to get to me, I got a hold of our waitress about my salad and only then she told me the salad was not included , no sorry, nothing. I told her to forget about it. \n3.5 stars for the steak.\n\nThe chowder tasted of shrimp and corn, not of lobster but it was pretty good and for only $8 I wouldn\'t expect better - formulaic food from a chain. It came with a few tasty chips on the side, that was nice.\n3 stars \n\nThe Caesar that came with it though was simply awful, it had absolutely no bite to it, just some sweet slaw or something, it was so bad it made me wish for the Caesar at Texas Roadhouse instead - and that\'s no fine restaurant either.\n2 stars only because the lettuce was fresh. \n\nSo there you have it : (1+3.5+3+2) = 9.5 /4 just over 2 stars. \nWe were told to come back and see them, apparently we\'re friends now. Yeah I\'d go back for a steak and potatoes.... maybe but that\'s it I have no faith in their "chef" Last night was my second visit this year. I had the rib eye and it was delicious and the salad was good too. Our server did a decent job but didn't seem happy to be there. The restaurant appeared to be short on help. There were many tables that needed to be cleared. Who wants to have dinner next to an unbussed table. Place needs a good manager. Unlikely I will return any time soon. Finally returned with my husband after attending a Yelp event months ago. We used a free appetizer card we were given and ordered the calamari and then ordered the Porterhouse for two. \n\nI was not a fan of the calamari, they were really heavy on the sauce so it became overwhelming after awhile. The steak was really delicious with a nice flavor. It did come with table-side sauce but I actually preferred the steak on its own. It was a lot of food but my husband managed to finish it for us : ) I usually am not of fan of Longhorns in general, but my fam loves coming here and when Dad offers to treat, you go where he takes you for dinner.\n\nWe came in Sunday just after 8pm and the place was dead...open tables as far as the eye could see (which isn\'t far as this particular location is really small). There was no one at the host stand, but when a guy showed up he let us know that it was going to be a 20min or so wait. All of us looked bewildered...seriously, I think out of the entire place, there were only 3 or 4 tables visibly occupied. Thankfully, it was only about 10mins or so and we start walking to our table when the hostess guiding us was all of a sudden "Umm, can you guys wait a minute..." and starts talking to I assume is the manager. Finally, I speak up and ask WTF the problem is!? They don\'t really reply and just mumble something so I tell my fam, let\'s go, there are plenty of other places around to get dinner. Then magically, the girl is like "we can put you here if that\'s ok". Don\'t know what the heck the malfunction was here, but damn Longhorn, get yourself right! You almost lost $100+ tab because you couldn\'t get us sat in an empty restaurant!?\n\nOur server was an initial hot mess as well, but bless his heart, he was working a 10hr double and you could tell he was just spent. He rallied though and did an great job! He even gave me a comped salad for the fiasco earlier and brought us out a fresh loaf of bread & butter to take home w/our leftovers. He definitely salvaged our dining experience for sure.\n\nThe food was fine. It\'s a generic chain steakhouse, so read into that what you will. \n\nThat being said, I think even my Dad is not inclined to come back here again after all that.

There's a new HOT spot for dining, drinks and clubbing in The Strip?! YES there is! Emilia Romagna opened just last night - there were more than a few of us to welcome ER to the Strip with open arms! A group of us sat around the enormous bar and enjoyed a couple of well-crafted cocktails, a beer or two for a couple of us and a dizzying array of not-your-typical bar food.\n\nFirst, the drinks. I first sampled an Ultra L that was chocolatey yet light - white chocolate liquor, fresh lemon juice, gin, avocado (makes it smoooooooth!) and Aztec chocolate bitters (just a few of the ingredients)...absolutely delightful! A friend had the Dirty Blonde which incorporated vodka, olive brine, pineapple and jalapeno and garnished with bleu cheese stuffed olives....only for those who love a really dirty martini....we started calling it the Filthy Blonde! A rosemary lemondrop using rosemary-infused vodka AND rosemary simple syrup with crisp and refreshing!\n\nNext, the FOOD! Do NOT MISS the fried cheese! Browned and crisp on the outside - not breaded to achieve the crispiness, no, pan seared and browned! It was topped with arugula, shavings of parm and truffle oil. It was my favorite bar snack of the night! The crispy polenta cakes were good, too...maybe needed some shavings of parm and/or a little side of marinara to dip....but still quite nice. I wasn't able to sample the pasta and meatballs, but my companions RAVED! Fresh, homemade pasta, mind you! They also order a pizza with house-made mozzarella and fresh basil...they loved it...especially the mozz. \n\nAnd they have a sushi bar, too! Imagine that. Another of our dining companions enjoyed a sushi selection that even included a quail egg...it was gorgeous.\n\nI can't give a complete review for a couple of reasons. 1. The upstairs club area will open the weekend after the 4th of July - I hear great things...including having a see-through floor! 2. The outside Sand Bar that will have SAND and tropical surroundings, steel drums and tropical drinks isn't yet open either...it, too, will open the weekend after the 4th. 3. I NEED to get there for dinner SOON! Prime steaks and pasta and seafood abound on the menu! I spoke with the chef who says their gnocchi is gluten-free!!!!!! I can't wait! \n\nAs soon as I get back when the Sand Bar opens, I'll update the review here. In the meantime, get your butts over to the Strip District and enjoy an evening of drinks and dining at Emilia Romagna...oh! I forgot! The bar has one kickass DJ and sound system, too! GO!!!!!!! We were SO excited to visit this restaurant. The atmosphere - especially on the bar side is great. Good music, dim lights, etc. Very pretty restaurant overall. However, the service was by far the worst we have ever experienced in Pittsburgh, The wine list was disappointing - very pricy and there is no one on staff (we were there on a Friday evening) who could speak intelligently about the wine. We explained to the server what we were looking for - ordered a $95 bottle of wine which took 25 minutes for them to bring to us. Agh!!! Then, it was not decanted and it tasted like vinegar. So disappointing. \n\nWe ate the sushi - this was surprisingly good for an italian restaurant. It is just missing something - it is not Umi or Penn Ave just yet. Our waitress forgot part of our order and we just said forget it. After two hours, bad wine and no attention we had had enough. \n\nI really want to like this place. It is evident that the owners spent a lot of time, energy and money in constructing. Please Please Please work out the kinks!!! This review is for ER the bar and not the dining room. We didn't have reservations so we went next door and ordered off the bar menu. They listed hot apps, pizza and sushi plates. How odd, we thought. We ordered the meatballs (way too salty but big portions), fries (crisp and hot with a nice mayo dipping sauce), Scallops with the citrus salad (which wasn't a salad at all but a weird mix of raisins, some kind of grain, olives maybe? just very strange. Scallops were fine), and the spicy sausage pepper pizza (okay). Everything I ate just needed a tweak - less salt, little more sauce...I can't say I really enjoyed it.\n\nThe service was way too slow. The server came over when we first sat down and then not again until we flagged her down 20 minutes later. You can definitely tell that this is a new restaurant still working out some kinks because everyone working there looked kind of dazed and overwhelmed.\n\nI expected more from the other reviews but was disappointed. Emilia Romagna is a new spot in the Strip District still largely under construction, but with aims of bringing excellent Italian food along with world-class cocktails and several distinct high-end environments to enjoy both in. It's a farm to table restaurant so the ingredients are all extremely fresh, with many herbs being grown on site.\n\nWe arrived late on a Friday night and the first thing we noticed: It was loud - there was a DJ in the bar that you could hear very well from behind several brick walls.. But as it's the first week, I'm sure they realize the issue and we'll be the only ones fortunate enough to experience that. That being said, our plans of sitting in the bar fell through for hopes of saving our heads and ears from damage, so we opted to sit in the restaurant. The restaurant space is cozy, tons of exposed brick and a large wine rack on display with perfectly sized tables for both casual and intimate conversation. For being so new, the service was excellent.\n\nThere are two distinct menus, and options from one are not available at the other. First, we decided on drinks - forgoing the wine menu in favor of cocktails - the Ultra L and Banana & Basil(Unfortunately the Cream Soda wasn't quite worked out yet). The Ultra L($9) was extremely delicious - mint, chocolate, and lemon all combined in a smooth and creamy drink. The banana and basil($8) tasted like a banana popsicle, but not quite as sweet. \n\nI was excited for the food to arrive, I was just talking to someone about how I had always wanted to try Alla Famiglia and here was a production by the same owners. For our meal we decided to split two menu items - the Caprese salad with fresh-in-house-pulled mozzarella($13) and mushroom risotto sans snails(They were very accommodating to vegetarianism: $15 - $18 w/ snails). The Caprese was ultra-fresh, with heirloom tomatoes, balsamic, olives, and super fresh basil. The risotto had a strong earthy flavor, perfect tenderness, and a delicious hint of black pepper. As someone who doesn't eat mushrooms, I was happy to eat a ton of this dish.\n\nI'm not typically one to get dessert, but the waitress was able to tempt us with a mascarpone cheesecake with peach coulis and a graham cracker crust, and I'm glad she did. This dessert was absolutely fantastic, light(for cheesecake) and the peach coulis added the perfect balance to the dish. Definitely one of the highest points of the meal.\n\nAfter dessert we got a glass of wine($9) and another cocktail, the Cocoa Powder($9) - which tasted like a mexican hot chocolate with a ton of cayenne thrown in. This drink was extremely spicy, so look out, but it was never unpleasant. That being said, I really enjoy and eat a lot of spicy food, so your mileage my vary.\n\nWe were checked on by the bartender and chefs and we thanked them for the wonderful meal. They let us know that in the future there will be two more sections to the restaurant: A beautiful lounge/dance bar upstairs with world-inspired shots instead of cocktails and a beach patio in the back. \n\nAll in all I'm extremely excited to have this new option in the Strip. For a nice Italian dinner(Something I don't usually go with) or a trendy bar, definitely make sure Emilia Romagna is on your radar - especially before there is a line around the block to get in. They\'re bringing sexy back in the Strip! You would have expected a place like this 10 years ago in the Strip. You would NEVER have expected a place like this today, but it\'s happening and I\'m excited! \n\nI\'m excited because it\'s freakin\' beautiful inside! The staff is friendly knowledgeable and excited to be there, and that makes me an instant fan. It\'s massive, with a section for fine dinning, a bar section with hand rolled sushi and a upstairs that promises to be a fun place to lounge and dance.\n\nI had the opportunity to pop in on the very first day of business and I\'m happy I ventured down. The bartender is a certified mixologist of awesomeness. Even with vodka as the only option that day he whipped up some delicious Rosemary/Lemon Martini\'s. And vodka can seriously become boring FAST. It was anything but! This bar is going to be thee place to hit up if you want something fun and unexpected to drink.\n\nThe bar area has a strict bar only menu. That means you can\'t order the bar menu inside the dinning area or vice versa. So that means the sushi bar is exclusively obtained at the bar area. Good thing is they have plenty of bar stools and a ample number of booths to grab "bar food" at. Although the bar food is anything but! \n\nThe owners are actually also owners at Alla Famiglia in Allentown. I\'ve never ventured there but have heard of their famous meatballs. Now I can say they can truly brag about them. Loved the meatball, which was hearty and moist, and most of all loved the red marinara sauce! I\'m a tough judge on sauce, being Italian and all. I cannot WAIT to come back and try the vodka sauce! \n\nBut I didn\'t stop there! I also tasted the sushi... really, how could I not!? I was hesitant at first because I was worried they ordered their fish from Wholey\'s. Thankfully that\'s not the case and it was super fresh! They only had the sashimi, but thankfully it was hearty slices of tuna, salmon, yellowtail and crab. Also, they put a tiny little herring egg as a shooter. Seriously, so cute! \n\nI cannot wait to come back for a real dinner and hopefully a little late night booty shaking!

I rarely write reviews but this place deserves a review. I am Asian and I know Asian food. This place has Yummy authentic food. Went for dim sum and it was awesome. It comes close to home cooking. Best Chinese place I've been in AZ. Service was great. Very friendly and helpful staff. Downside, this place is so popular that there is a loooong line to get in. But I've been told that is only on the weekends. Weekdays are not like that. It's a must go to restaurant!!!! I highly recommend it!!!! You bare greeted by tired people that look like they don't want to work there. The only person who smile were the person whom gave us our seats. Watch out and ask about the dish, because the menu does not tell you anything about what you are ordering. This place feels very low budget. The wok vegetable Chinese green means you only get a plate full of 1 type of vegetable...\n\nTheir food was depressing and has now been my worst Chinese restaurant experience so far. This place is, in my not always so humble opinion, the best Dim Sum in the Valley. \nIts best to go early on the weekends so that you get a table quickly. You want to go about 10:30 or 11. The line usually hasn't started forming outside quite yet, but the food carts are really starting to gain their rhythm.\n\nMost everything is great, but do make sure to save a smidge of room for the sweet sesame mochi balls. Not sure what the Chinese name is, but they're the perfect ending to a perfect Sunday tradition Tip: if you ran out of tea, open the lid of the teapot and that will alert the staff to get you a refill.\n\nI was new to dim sum and I absolutely loved this place. If you have not had dim sum before, I think some of the pics posted will give you a good idea.\nWarning - most likely you got to like eating family style, and you gotta either be adventurous or know what Chinese dishes you like.\n\nWe went there for early lunch on a Sunday (11:30am) by recommendation of a friend and when we arrived there was a huge line! well, not a line, you get a number that they call out when your table is ready. There were like 10-12 parties ahead of us and we were seated in like 10-15 minutes.\n\nThey bring you your plates, tiny cups and a teapot.\n\nThen is when the fun begins! They have people with carts full or meals in small containers, coming to your table, you pick whatever you want and they mark it in a card that remains at your table. We must have tried like 12-14 different dishes, let me try to remember - sorry I do not know the names.\n\n- Bread stuffed with pork (3)\n- Other pastry stuffed with pork (3)\n- Fried tofu (3)\n- Some white ball with a colorful dot that I didn't taste (3)\n- Round/soft wonton like stuffed with shrimp (4)\n- Lo main -very skinny noodles\n- Chicken feet in red sauce (I really wanted to try those)\n- Fried wontons, they were not stuffed with cream cheese, but with shrimp (4)\n- Some sort of spring rolls, very big and turned out to be stuffed with shrimp \n (2, cut in 3 pieces each)\n- Sesame seed balls (3)\n- Fried dough with honey\n- Jello/mango dessert\n\nThese dishes had different prices ranging from 2.95 to 6.95, I think, but our check was about $52 (without tip)\n\nI didn't notice if they had other drinks, but I saw a table nearby get a dish and bowl of rice that seemed to be ordered from a menu.\n\nI used to live near this place and I never tried it. Now we live far away but I will definitely come back, hopefully soon : )\n\nFYI, Ladies restrooms were very clean, and they have toilet covers. I had a horrible time there. I have been to many Dim Sum and this place is horrible. On Sunday they opened at 9:00 o\'clock, we got there around 1:00. None of the food were ready to be served. People were still vacuuming and cleaning the restaurant. When I am eating, I Don\'t want people to be mopping the floor and vacuuming near me because who knows what can get on my food. Also there was buckets of dirty water near us and near the bar. It was just disgusting to look at. The vacuum was super loud and all the employees were everywhere, not really doing anything productive, just standing around. They had about 4 dishes ready and in a very limited amount too. When we asked if there was more food, the lady said we had to go to the bar place and order...(what??). Last time I checked, a Diem Sum is awesome and special because people roll a cart of food around and we get to pick. I guess I was mistaken. Also, the lady was very rude, I understand that she is trying to push out orders or whatever but being rude to your customers is not the way to go. We ordered the chicken feet and still didn\'t received around an hour later. When we did see the chicken feet, it was going out to the other tables that went in after us. We had to remind them that we ordered like an hour ago. They said "oh" and gave the chicken feet to us. We ordered a few thing to go and it didn\'t come out right. We ordered two part chicken feet, one came out AND the lady tipped a plate over at our table causing the sauce to spill all over. She was also very rude about it when we told her that there was only one part chicken. After we were finishing up our food (yes the to go\'s boxes came about an hour early), she came up and said "there\'s more chicken feet, want some?" In Vietnamese. Now if she was speaking English to us and she doesn\'t speak it fluently then we would understand but she speaks fluent Vietnamese. The way she was talking to us were like we were dogs. It was very frustrating. Additionally, our table wasn\'t the only table that was just sitting there with wondering eyes. 2-3 more tables before and after us were just sitting there waiting looking around trying to eat some air to push down their hunger. I walked out of that restaurant extremely unsatisfied and still hungry! (There was such a limit of items that we can eat that we just asked for our check). If I can give 0 star, I would.

I eat here once a year or two. It is always good. Sometimes the wait can be a bit long because it is very popular. This is a great place for groups and because of this, it can be pretty noisy. Love their thin chips and good, spicy salsas. I ordered the street tacos and they were delicious. All of my dining partners were quite satisfied with their meals. Pretty decent prices, too. So this place is meh I mean food is ok nothing amazing,chips are good. While on my visit here the power went out and just sitting in the dark for a good 10 minutes so not very pleasant visit hope this power comes on Great food! Always fresh and tasty. Good sized portions and great value for the price. Ok first previous negative post is a bunch of "snowflakes". The food was delicious! (spinach enchiladas w/ bacon). Customer service was cool she didn\'t get my joke about a misprint on the drink menu..(Midori $175 not $1.75) but I could tell English wasn\'t her first language (ish was funny) but I\'ll be back for sure! My husband and I were originally going to go out to breakfast on a Sunday afternoon but everywhere was too busy. So that's how we ended up here.\n\nThey greeted us quickly and we only had to wait 15 minutes for a table. The waiter was nice, however, he only refilled our drinks like once. Maybe he had too many tables? Because another table near us also had empty cups in front of them. Actually, most of the tables in the dining area we were in had empty glasses.\n\nThere is a guy that walks around and fills chips only. He's pretty efficient with that. But can't he refill drinks too? Or help get to go boxes? It seemed like the waiter could have used more help than just filling bowls of chips.\n\nI ordered the chimichanga dinner with machaca beef. That's my favorite type of meat but this restaurant must not know how to make it. It was completely bland, boring and unappetizing. The beans and rice were pretty much the same! Yuck\n\nI'm pretty sure I won't be returning because the food was terrible and then overpriced to boot! Boo

My favorite place in Brunswick! I order the country style bean curd and it is perfect everytime! The inside of the restaurant is a little small but cozy and clean. The employees are so nice and your food is always hot and fresh! Sushi was delicious, hibachi was pretty good, and Chinese was all right. I will definitely be back for the sushi :) This is our second time ordering from here. \n\nPeople are really nice and the food is delicious as well. \n\nWe got a sushi roll, soup, hibachi chicken and a diet dish with steamed chicken and mixed veggies. All\nOf it was great! \n\nWe will be back again Heard good things about this place, so I had to try it. Outstanding! The sushi is quality. Fast service, clean place (brand new).\nGirl at the front counter could be friendlier, but the gentleman that handed me my takeout was very polite!\nI will very likely become a regular here! I loves my Wild Fusion (I can never remember the name so I call it the Happy Asian). The Godzilla roll is enough to fill me up, I LOVE the way they do spicy tuna here.\n\nNormally pretty quick service, however when ordering prime time you may want to give yourself a little more time to order.\n\nFresh food, well cooked and something for everybody. From a value perspective is pretty reasonable for sushi in Brunswick, Ohio - in our experience order with confidence the quality is great.

Avoid at all costs! Our experience here was awful. Our waiter was clearly new and constantly flustered the whole time he was serving us which a point annoying but fine the 1st day is scary for everyone. But the food was incredibly sub par and the pricing is a scam. I ordered a side of fries my parents split a 25 dollar dish and my sister an 11 dollar dish yet we ended up with a 75 dollar bill. My sister had a pulled pork sandwich with so much fat she could barely eat 3 bites of it. The mac and cheese must have been from the very bottom of their supply to be so lukewarm and strange tasting as my mother described it. When we complained to the manager about the food he left halfway through our complaints to get more food which at that point was the last thing we wanted. Never coming back. there's a Hooters right across the street you'll eat much better there. City Smoke kinda goes up in flames. We showed up around 7pm on a Friday night, and our first clue should have been that the restaurant was almost empty. However, we were hungry, so we threw caution to the wind, grabbed two bowls of peanuts, and were shown a table. After deciding not to throw our shells on the floor, we perused the menu. As a place that quickly establishes itself as a BBQ joint, the menu seems disjointed; oysters on the half shell and peel & eat shrimp co-mingle with sliders on the appetizer menu, and shrimp & oyster po-boys are listed above the omnivores' pork, chicken, and brisket sandwich options. But the true blasphemy surfaced once the meal arrived. \n\nY'all, the mac & cheese was NOT GOOD. Grainy, tasteless, and altogether sub-par macaroni and cheese is unacceptable in a BBQ restaurant. And the fried okra was overly salty without packing much flavor. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how great the meat is at a BBQ joint (and keep in mind, City Smoke's meat is nothing to write home about); if your sides aren't stellar, you might as well shut down shop. Between the four of us, we ordered the brisket, rotisserie chicken, and pulled pork, but no one was overly complimentary of the meatsplosion on the table. We had three sauce options: one was vineagar based, and the other two tomato-based ones tasted almost exactly the same.\n\nOur service was okay, but I think that's mostly attributed to the fact that our server only had one or two other tables to attend to. Maybe City Smoke burned brightly at one point, but the flame has died. I don't know why this place has such iffy reviews? I've been eating here for over 4+ years, well before their restorations and newer floor plan came about. The guy at the front who welcomes people, let's say he's a hostess, is a dry guy whose somewhat of a jerk, but he's not thaaat bad. And the food is good! The portions are really excellent and the food is delicious. I've always been shocked their reviews aren't 5/5... only reason I'm giving it 4/5 if because there's zero bathrooms (you have to go up a set of escalators, down a huge hallway past a convention room), and the parking is a nightmare. Additionally, the guy at the front has been snappy on many occasions, but he isn't the worst. I came here for lunch for the first time and can say I won't be coming back anytime soon. The food was just OK and the portions were noticeably smaller than other BBQ joints in the Charlotte. The service, however, may have been the worst I've experienced since moving to the city. The guy seemed like he was just having a bad day - he was short when asked questions, our drink refills came with our check, etc. I'm pretty sure he didn't crack a smile the whole afternoon. \n\nI would have liked to come back to check out the happy hour scene since their bar looked really impressive but I will pass on that. As for my next BBQ fix, there's plenty of other (and better) BBQ joints in the city. I was surprised at the poor yelp ratings for this place. I went here afterwork with 30 co-workers, we just showed up without warning and they were very accommodating. I think without us being there, there would not have been a very big crowd. We were just going to have drinks, but they let us hang at the bar, with 2 adjoining tables, so several of us also ordered food.\n\nFirst, I was very impressed with the Bourbon/whiskey selection. This isn't something I know much about, but been trying to grow my palate in this area. They have an extensive list of Kentucky Bourbons, plus different scotch whiskey's, etc. They aren't cheap, but if you want to try some Bourbon, this is definitely a great place. They also have probably 10 craft beers on tap.\n\nSince this is a BBQ place, I got the Pork Sandwich. I thought it was very tasty, comparable to Mac's and other better BBQ places I've been to in Charlotte. \n\nIf you want a quiet place to hang out, sip some bourbon, grab a BBQ sandwich, this place has a nice vibe, and nice location. I'll be back.

This place was recommended by my hotel concierge for good Thai food...to go. \n\nThe outside is underwhelming and I would have probably walked right past this place and not given it a second glance. Since I was looking for it... not an issue. The inside was fine, although I went straight to the bar to place my order. \n\nI went with Pad Thai..my staple to judge the place and also got some coconut rice square things for dessert which are only on the lunch menu. Yes....the price was/is high compared to other Thai places in the area, however I found the food to be above average. I love that it came with shrimp and chicken and I was able to add tofu - a must for me. The sauce was good...not overly sweet and a portion large enough for 2 meals. Also it blew Spring Rolls and Salad King's Pad Thai away... I would pay extra for my food not being drenched in oil, wouldn't you?\n\nThe dessert was also good...but then again if it has coconut, can you really go wrong!?\n\nThe hostess was VERY friendly and chatty...20 minutes worth of chatter, while I tried to slip of my bar stool and out to door to indulge in my meal. Honestly though...I prefer that over getting an unfriendly glance as I walk out the door. I would come back here...at least for the Pad Thai and I did hear that the lunch buffet was good, if you are a buffet lover and in the area. So I was having a craving for Thai food, but not food court Thai...something more authentic. Went to my trusty friend, Google and up popped Bangkok Garden. \nIt was so close to my workplace...total bonus! Less than 2 mins to get there. \nEnter....what a beautiful place! And the hostess, so friendly!\nShe takes me to my seat, and asks if I will be enjoying the buffet or menu today. Buffet????? Bonus!!!!! $15.99/pp....not bad!!!\nAll the food was awesome. I had vegetable pad thai, basil fish with steamed rice, fresh rolls, veggie spring rolls, mango salad, glass noodles, tom yum soup, chicken wings, etc. So good!!! I'm so full up! Washed it all down with a big glass of mango juice. \nMy 2 waiters were awesome...super friendly and very knowledgeable. I had to ask about some of the dishes due to a food allergy. \nWill definitely go there again!!!! Pleasantly surprised. Came here not so long ago for the Winterlicious prix fixe dinner menu. I had the curry Pad Thai for the main. Yum. \n\nThe decor/atmosphere was acceptable, but nothing to rave about. We sat up front to the right of the hostess' area. A few people kept passing back and forth through the neighbouring entrance as we ate.\n\nHowever, the food was tasty and the service was prompt and attentive. No complaints here.\n\nWould definitely recommend this place, and will probably stop in again when I'm in the area again. We had complimentary 4 course dinner vouchers to Bangkok Garden from our Couple Spa package that we had bought for Elmwood Spa. We were greeted right away and taken to our seats. We were seated by the hostess and menu cards for the 4 course dinner were left at the table (we didnt notice as we were gwtting settles down) The waiter came over and poured us water and greeted us with a Hello. No name, no check if we would like anything else to drink(the 4 course dinner does not come with drinks and is additional cost) we were left alone and not shown our options on the menu. We now noticed that the menu cards were on the tBle and went ahead and made pur selections. Our waiter was back in a few minutes to take our order. Appertizers were out in about 10 minites that was the longest wait all the other courses were out aa soon as we were done with our dish. The quick service was good and we never felt rushed between our courses. The food was good, but I would pick SukoThai anyday. We were then handed the bill which had two huge red stamps on them saying Gratuite not included on top of the bill and at the bottom of the bill and wwre both circled vigirously. I get that they might have had no tippers preciously but this just seemed a little over! Anyhoo over all the service was a 3/5 food was 3.5/5 and ambiance was 3/5. We might visit back just for a change or if we are at Elmwood spa. My boss took me out for lunch at one of her favourite Thai restaurants for my last day of work! We both love Thai food, and since it was a bit of a special occasion, we decided to do the buffet style lunch. I was surprised to see some of the negative reviews for this place, because I absolutely LOVED it!\n\nThe service and atmosphere was great. Bangkok Garden definitely works for all sorts of events - casual meals, fancy meals, or business formal meals. I think it gives off many different vibes that could work for any occasion. I did however see A LOT of people in suits so I'd assume they cater more towards the business people in the area. \n\nAs for the food, I really liked how there were so many different options to choose from. I tried the soup, the appetizers (spring rolls, mango salad, regular salad, fried vegetables, etc.), and of course all of the noodles and curries. I thought everything tasted excellent and was full of flavour, but my specific favourites were the pad thai and the yellow curry. Yum! \n\nNeedless to say, I'd visit again. I personally prefer restaurants like Pai or Khao San Road in Toronto for a more authentic taste of Thai food, but I would still recommend coming to Bangkok Garden for the buffet lunch to try all of the different dishes.

This place is a really cute place.The food is good so is their coffee. Also it's Instagram worthy also if you sign up you get a free birthday dessert. There is also a patio where you can sit outside. We\'ve been been here a dozen times at lunch & brunch and never had worse service & food. We ordered drinks that we\'re forgotten & dinner arrived before they were delivered. The manager cane out to apologized for cold food. My son ordered the chicken special with the potatoes & chicken & potatoes were cold. Not luke warm, cold. He had to eat after everyone was done. They didn\'t even take it off the bill. We had to talk to other waiters to get the drinks we ordered & when we confronted the waitress she actually said "I didn\'t know you ordered that?" No worries. Too many other places to visit. Sorry Henry\'s. You "were" a family favorite... not anymore. I was heartbroken when Sam Fox closed Bloom in North Scottsdale. Of all of his restaurants, the Henry is my favorite. Now that he shuttered his steakhouse, the Henry stands alone as the most upscale of the offerings. This makes sense as it is right next to the corporate headquarters of course. The people who dine here are very pretty. Stepford wife pretty. Be forewarned. The bar offers a wonderful list of cocktails heavy on the classics and a lot of wonderful bourbon offerings for which I have a definite weakness for. The salads will be familiar (you can similar versions at Arrogant Butcher or Culinary Dropout), but the entrees are much more refined. I had the branzino, which next to the branzino offering at Virtu, is one of the best I've ever found in Arizona. Do not miss dessert, croissant bread pudding handily eclipsing the version that I used to crave weekly at Sierra Bonita. So brave the Stepford Wives and head out. (The acoustics could use some work, during lunch or crowded hh's you do have to shout a bit). The service however is exquisite. Attentive without being intrusive. If nothing else, the Sam Fox guys need to teach a course on how to train servers for other restaurants to emulate. I went with some friends here. It was a bit pricey but I enjoyed the roasted chicken and the drinks! This place was awesome. \n\nAtmosphere - \nA great brunch atmosphere with beautiful decor. There is a cute caf\xc3\xa9 attached to it and I just wanted to hang out there all day! \n\nService - \nWe made reservations through the Yelp app the morning before arriving at 1230 and let me tell you.. it was the best plan ever. They were busy on that Saturday of course and people were being quoted an hour to an hour and a half wait!! The waitress was attentive and even clarified things (like if I eat eggs) when I notified her I was vegetarian. \n\nFood - \nI got the huevos rancheros and yum yum yum! I asked for cholula just in case it wasn't spicy enough for my liking; however, the roasted red salsa had just enough of a kick to it. It comes with a side of potatoes. \n\nWe also got the truffle fries. They were good but the truffle dipping sauce was uh-maze-ing I couldn't stop eating the fries solely because of it! \n\nMy boyfriend got the chicken fried chicken and said it was a typical dish. Didn't really stand out and probably wouldn't order it again. \n\nThey have a Bloody Mary table side cart which was really cool! My boyfriend had one but I wasn't able to because of the Worcestershire sauce in their house mix but it looked yummie!

Beer Good! Food Good! Waitress fast!\nI am a man of few words I'm absolutely addicted to their quinoa and mushroom burger!\nFood and service are amazing! Kitchen staff seemed very unprofessional. I witnessed a few of them playing on their cell phones, then handle food. Grossed me out! I remember when Original Joe's first opened. I had just moved to Calgary and was working with one of the Franworks partners. They had one restaurant at the time. It's been awesome watching them grow and expand across Western Canada.\n\nMy one dislike about Original Joe's is that they do not allow kids. Ever. Unfortunately they lose business over this (and not just mine) as my family will go to the pubs for dinner that do allow kids until 8 or 9pm. In this economy it is a bad business choice IMO.\n\nBut moving on. A new OJ's has opened not far from where we live. So hubs and I had an hour w/out kids one Saturday afternoon and decided to pop in. \n\nThe decor is gorgeous. Franworks has their own contractor for their restaurants and I must say they do amazing work. \n\nThere were a handful of people in the restaurant so we were able to pick the table we wanted. We sat next to the large floor to ceiling window that almost over looks the Deerfoot and you can even see Nose Hill Park in the distance (less than a 10 minute drive). Service was friendly and quick.\n\nWe weren't overly hungry so ordered a couple of the on tap beers along with our wings and parmesan chips. There were tv screens playing different sports games for those who were interested. It's not a huge space but a cute one for sure. And note it is upstairs above Smashburger.\n\nLike the location, everything was spot on, we will return. Original Joes is one of my favourite places to eat for pub food. We tried to eat here a few weeks back on a Friday. 5 of us arrived at about 7:45, 3 of us ordered food within about 20 minutes. We asked the server for our food closer to 9 because it was taking forever and they weren't that busy. By 9:15, my 'hot wings' came out at room temp with a dash of sauce. I asked our server for some additional hot sauce and she wanted to send them back to the kitchen because she knew they looked like crap. When they came back out 5 minutes later, they were the same wings, colder, and with a side of hot sauce. I asked if my wrap was going to be out soon, since it had been well over an hour since we ordered, and she came back and said she had no idea how long it would be, but it would be more than 5 minutes, so I cancelled the wrap. My wings were comp'd which was good because I would have been super unhappy paying for those. We finally left at about 9:45. It was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. Our server was apologetic, but I think she should have warned us ahead of time that they were short staffed in the kitchen. She should have recognized it took a plate of wings, nachos, and dry ribs over an hour to get to a table, rather than us having to bring it up and ask multiple times. Even after cancelling the pita, there was no manager or anything to apologize for the terrible terrible service and quality. OJs is usually our first choice when my husband and I have our date nights or want to go to a pub with friends, but I think that has changed since that experience.

Two words: Hell. No.\n\nI have never been to an El Pollo Loco, but I've heard good things, so I went to this location to check it out last night. I ordered the kids pollo bowl with tortilla chips, which is essentially rice, beans, and chunks of chicken. As soon as I took the lid off, I knew something was wrong. Was it supposed to be a soup? Because my bowl was SWIMMING in liquid. I assume that it is from the container they keep the beans in, but it's like they didn't even bother to drain the liquid before they threw the beans in there, and now my bowl is more than half-full of bean water. The tortilla chips were on par with Taco Bell. \n\nI might go back to try their chicken on the bone, but never again will I order a bowl from this place. Gross. I realty love el Pollo Loco!\n\nTheir restaurants are always clean and up to date. The food is fresh and you can watch the chickens cook on the grill. What can be better? Oh, price you say? Well that's pretty good too. If I were Boston Market, I would buy them up, so to put them out of business! \n\nMy first crazy chicken was nearly ten years ago in Burbank, CA of all places. It was late in the day and I was starving from a long drive down from Sacramento. \n\nThe food was as good then as it is now. They're are some new menu items. The introduction of family sized portions, but in essence El Pollo Loco hasn't changed. \n\nOn my most recent visit, I had their Loco Salad for only $1.89, which comes in a deep bowl. I also added a BRC burrito for $1.69 and a cup of pinto beans for $1.89. A good deal and a filling lunch for $5.47 plus tax.. Delicious. \n\nEnjoy! Trying to eat healthier. First time trying the restaurant. Place was not busy . They took our order promptly. The cashier accent was very strong . We ordered black beans and a salad. We ordered water and she charged us for a drink . She did not offer us any salad dressing for salad . We did enjoy the chicken. The tortilla was warm but half was not cooked. I was pleased with the salsa.and the guacamole was decent . The chips were a little too thick. The rice was bland . Salad did not have any cucumbers or tomatoes When I want fresh and healthy fast food, I go to El Pollo Loco. The chicken is served piping hot, having been taken right off the grill.\n\nEl Pollo's chicken is flavorful - deeply marinated in citrus and herbs, then flame grilled - just love that crispy skin! Another plus for me is their chicken is farm-raised, and hormone-free. \n\nFor about 5 or 6 dollars, I get the 2 piece chicken combo that includes tortillas, 2 sides and a fountain drink. (Look/ask for a coupon.) My favorite sides are the spicy tortilla chicken soup and the crunchy coleslaw, but there are lots of sides - rice, fries, beans and salads. Some other chicken dishes are the tacos, burritos. and bowls. \n\nIt is a bright, clean restaurant with fast, friendly servers - I love it! So I had to eat here cause I was starving and visiting my mother in the hospital. I gotta admit what I had was not half bad for a fast food joint. I had their Spicy Chipotle Burrito. It had some kick to it and the flavor was enjoyable.

Great food and great service! Enjoy this neighborhood restaurant. Thanks! If you\'re looking for a good Chinese place with a homey feel that has a kitchen that won\'t scare you, this is your place. All the makings of a "neighborhood" staple without the corporate feel. We brought some out of town relatives here and were pleasantly surprised by the massive menu with seemingly endless choices of all different varieties and styles of Chinese food. K and I were both surprised that when we ordered "spicy as you make it" they actually accommodated us but with real skill. Not the just dumping spices into a dish and over-powering the meal, but actually cooking the spices into the meal so that it had plenty of heat but still the taste the recipe calls for. Only thing preventing 5 stars is the menu was so large that we haven\'t had enough time to give it a good sample. I can say that all 5 of our guests loved the food, the price was very reasonable, and the staff friendly. A sure hit and we will definitely be back. On the past experience of my friend with this Chinese restaurant, we went and tried Bamboo House. My friend did all the ordering... maybe we\'ll change that procedure on our next restaurant visit. Bamboo House claims to be a Chinese restaurant, but also lists Thai and Vietnamese creations.\n\nWhat we ordered...\n\nStarters: Seafood Soup - This was a very thick soup filled to the brim with seafood ingredients: Shrimp, Scallops, Abalone, Fish, vegetables, and some ingredients I could not recognize! Mistake #1: The soup itself had a tap water aftertaste! My friend disagreed... but I know I tasted tap water!\n\nDrinks: Mai Tai - Yummy, yummy... sweet and very alcoholic. The bartender really knows how to mix his drinks. And you get a little umbrella "thing" with your drink!\n\nMain Dishes: \n\nHouse Special Chicken - This dish was essentially Chinese Fried Chicken in a batter immersed in their "special" sauce. The batter was slightly crispy when bitten into, and was especially tasty and had interesting textures when consumed.\n\nKung Pao Chicken II - Off menu Kung Pao Chicken without the Cashews. Skinned Chicken with Shrimp, Mushrooms, Peas, Water Chestnuts, and Celery covered by their "special" sauce.\n\nBoth dishes were supposed to be spicy "hot".... NOT!\n\nMistake #2: Never duplicate any meat dishes... we discovered both dishes were immersed in their "special" sauce which made differentiation of the dishes difficult, at best! Did I just have the House Special or the Kung Pao? Let me take a close look! Not very creative cooking!\n\nDemographics of restaurant: All Caucasian clientele. Less than 30% of capacity.\nLocated in a small strip mall setting.\nService was friendly and attentive.\n\nProbably will not be coming back here for the food... But maybe for the Polynesian style drinks... They\'re pretty refreshing and Good!\n\nNext visit to any restaurant... I\'m ordering for both of us!\n\nMy Friend\'s rating: 3\nMy rating: 2.25 (Saved by MaiTai) The ladies are nice, the rice is hard and the chicken is crispy...try this place if you want. We've been coming here for over 20 years and has really gone downhill in the last 2 years...not sure if they sold or not. Food was always great now it's just below average. I need to find another good Chinese restaurant near Moon Valley, any suggestions?

ehhh employees need to pretend they enjoy to work Don't show up 15 minutes before close cause you won't be served!! Or even acknowledged. After coming here 2-3 times a week for about 7 years - I think i have the lay of the land...\n\nI get food fast, food is good enough, always cheap, never had a problem, very well managed.\n\nI could eat bean burritos pretty much every day - and some weeks, I do. Car broke down in their parking lot. Employees were super impatient about it and interrupted me while I was on the phone with the tow company. Went in to explain the situation to them and they insisted I had to move my broken car NOW and not wait 15 minutes to get it towed. Accused me of being rude for not answering them while on the phone with the tow company. Honestly I only eat Taco bell when I'm broke, low on cash, $2 on pump 8 kind of broke. I never could eat the food unless I had a really strong drink afterwards, to wash away that strange after taste. Anyhow, the food is okay, I don't understand why they can't use real ground beef...okay ground beef without being laced with oatmeal, or why they can't at least cook the tortilla. The tortilla is actually the most annoying aspect of it all. That and how many sauces would you like = | lady enough to drown out the crunch of poverty please. Anyways back to the tortilla, the gummy texture really annoys me, I did ask them to cook it once and it made that burrito so much better! The tacos are fine. My favorite thing at Taco Bell is definitely the epanadas which have gotten noticeably smaller. I haven't had one with cold caramel in a while so that's a plus. So if you love it here great, its pretty decent at best.

VERY good fresh food! I had a veggie wrap with sweet potato and it was delicious. Every time I am in town (every 6 weeks) I go out of my way to visit them as they have a huge selection to choose from. They also offer fruit infused water that tastes amazing! This place never disappoints! I just wish they had one in my hometown. My son and I went in for lunch one day. It was a very clean and nice-looking establishment. The food was also very good. However, there was no one around to show us their ordering system. It was a little confusing. I will go back though, because I love all the healthy options! My personal favorite is the the Grilled steak sandwich with Chimichurri sauce. I thought the sliced green apples in the sandwich would be a strange combo and almost removed them but I went with it and wow, such a great flavor combo. I make a drive up to Krayvings at least once a week for my grilled steak sandwich fix. \n\n5 stars! This place was absolutely amazing! The food selection was out of this world. Their made to order omelettes with feta cheese of simply tops. Terrific food selection. Cool laid back vibe. We eat there often. You should too. Btw the service was excellent and attentive. I loved this place. Ordered from here whenever they were open & when I was hungry. I now know not to order from here on tuesday's because whoever is in the kitchen and behind the counter are not good. Every single food item I ordered was completely DISGUSTING. Which is crazy because it's the same thing I always get. To top it all off I ordered a kids grilled chicken plate and they gave me a kids grilled cheese, if the sandwhich was good maybe I wouldn't need to complain but it was disgusting. Thanks to Yelp Customer Service I got my refund! Not sure if i'll be eating here again, with the sassiness of the workers through the phone I doubt it.

Me and my girlfriend went here for dinner and was happy with our experience. \nThe server was very friendly and nice, she came to check on us just the right amount of times and filled our drinks. That's what I call customer service.\n\nThe food was just as amazing, I've been here a couple of times and they never disappoint. 30 min waiting and still waiting, and no silverware....the waitress said they ran out. Seriously, that's a first, and will be the last. Havent done a long review in a while, but this was needed. We haven't been back here for a little over a year. The only time we ever go is when my parents get a gift card for their birthdays because of the holiday deal where you buy a $100 dollar gift card and receive $20 extra coupon cards. We also had coupons from the mail that we used. We sat down ordered our drinks, I ordered the top sirloin with giant prawns, and my parents ordered the two for $42 with coupon (normally $52) that comes with an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert.\n\nWe sat there eating our free molasses bread, and then the appetizer came out, but wait where's our drinks? Our server had forgotten about them, we quickly flagged him down and reminded him then he promptly got the drinks for us. Shortly after our entrees arrived. Tasting my steak I felt it was under seasoned; I'm not sure how others eat their steaks but I generally don't add salt and steak sauce to mine. In this case I had to add salt to gift it that extra kick. When biting my first prawn it was definitely under cooked so I put it a side to take home. Eating the prawns next day as I'm writting this reveiew they were delicious, just had to cook them a bit more. My dad complained about his baked potatoe was not rightand my mom said her chicken was over cooked and dry. This is the most inconsistent cooking I've seen in a long time at any establishment.\n\nFinally, we ordered the giant cookie with vanilla ice cream to finish off my parents two for $42, but by then we were full so we had our waiter pack the cookie to go and eat the ice cream there. He ended up packing both up and handed us the bill. We handed him the gift card and coupons to process and also asked for some spoons to eat the ice cream. He came back with just the bill...this guy I swear...his mind was somewhere else that night. The one plus was since he had forgotten about our drinks; he took them off our bill. Overall, I don't think I would come back here and spend my own money for dinner. I rarely give 5 stars anything, but from the moment we called to make a reservation and came in yesterday, everything was just perfect.\nThe hostess that made the reservation for me on Friday, was very courteous and helpful, they greeted us promptly when we came in on Sunday and seated us immediately.\nThe waitress, sorry, didn\'t look at the name tag, was super friendly and quick and attentive.\nWe went there to celebrate husbands birthday and had an email coupon for signing up online. \nWe first started out with the house salad for the guys and I had the Caesar Salad. Big plates, very well chilled and the fork to eat it with was also ice cold, didn\'t expect that at all and was a great way to start out. The only "complaint" I would have is the Dark Molasses Bread, there was just not enough of it. It was awesome and I could eat just the Bread. Lol.\nWe all three ordered the 16oz Rib-eyes. I ordered mine medium, my guys did medium-rare. This was the first time in I can\'t remember how long we had gone to any steakhouse and actually had the steaks cooked to perfection. Mine was topped with the Garlic Herb Butter, which added a delicious flavor without being overpowering. The Baked Potato for me was just the right size and my husband devoured his Au Gratin Potatoes and my Son went simple with the Mashed Potatoes.\nWhen we were finished with our Meal the waitress brought out a hot Chocolate Chip cookie with Vanilla Ice Cream and a lit candle to help us celebrate. As stuffed as we were, we did manage to find room to finish it off. We didn\'t want to be rude.....hahaha.\nOverall, this was a great visit, one we plan on repeating many more times. Sorry Outback, but you lost us tonight and Welcome Black Angus. You are outstanding. Prime Rib on Wed nights is a tradition at Black Angus. Prime Rib is always cooked perfect with baked pototo and vegi makes for a perfect meal. I sit at the bar usually and the bartenders always are friendly and attentive with bringing my beer and food! \nOne of my fav places to go week after week. Wednesdays are good because you get a piece of mud pie for dessert along with the meal. Fantastic!

A small group of new friends and I were meeting up before a movie at Star Cinema. Three of us got there pretty early, so we grabbed a table as the sign said "Seat yourself." We sat there for a good 45 minutes before a waitress came over and asked if someone had seated us. I explained that the sign said "seat yourself" and her reply was "Sometimes they just put that sign out." I\'m not sure what that means. Afterward our food came in a reasonable, but not speedy, amount of time, 20-30minutes. The quesadilla I order looked like it had 2 inches of Velveeta in the middle. It was terrible and it did not sit well with my stomach. To add some perceptive I regularly eat various greasy cheese items at dive bars around town. This made those dishes look gourmet.\n\nDuring our wait there was a band setting up that was apparently having sound issues. There was a good hour of time that passed were they were doing sound checks with a good deal of feedback. In fact the feedback was painful at times and we were not even in an area in front of, or close to the stage. I give this place 2 only because the bar tender was courteous and the bathrooms had hot water. Bring your ear plugs!!!!!!!!!\nThis place gets so overly crowded and loud you will be leaving with a headache for sure!!\nI did enjoy going here, just because I've never been and I was trusting my sister's judgement on the bars in the Madison area, but I will have to pass next time. \nThe place is disgustingly dirty and I would have rather used a bush out back then the dirty fishbowls they call toliets. And be sure to check the bottoms of your shoes for toliet paper!! Their drinks are over priced, and the bartenders do not know how to make simple vodka drinks. Oh well, I really wanted to like this place too. My drink was "Visined" here by a bartender who I saw take the drink around the side of the bar and I wondered why.. about 20 min later after drinking one drink I was so sick I could not even walk to the bathroom. I had no idea what this phenomena was until I told my Gay friend who is familiar with this tactic at places like this. Why someone would do this is beyond me. \n\nThis place is dangerous I was shocked how these trashy women in the bathroom were yelling /taunting at me that I was going to get arrested for being drunk. I HAD ONE DRINK I WAS NOT DRUNK FOR CHRIST SAKE. No one asked if I was ok. I had to call the people I was with from the bathroom...\n\nThere is a real criminal redneck crowd here. I felt safer in MEXICO drinking. \nCan we say Trailer Trash? \nI thought it was a cool place for professionals to hang out and WOW was I wrong. I have never been so terrified in my life and I lived in LA.. \nIt is very dirty there like a cheap motel and a lot of really gross looking men will try to hit on you in disgusting ways. You feel like you have left Madison and went to that place in the movie "Dusk Till Dawn" scary as all hell! Karaoke night (Thursday!) is the only solid reason to go to the Dry Bean. It\'s a big stage with big sound (not like the Karaoke Kid), so you kind of feel like a rock star if you get up and sing. On the other hand, if you get up and suck, well..there\'s a lot of people to hear it. But, I\'ll just say: Singing "Sweet Caroline" and having a huge bar *full* of people sing along was one of the most fun experiences ever. :) It\'s also good because the dance floor is pleasantly full on those nights, so you can boogie without judgment.\n\nOtherwise, the Dry Bean is more sports bar/country bar-oriented. They have some good local bands come through, but those events get too packed for my liking. The crowd tends to get weird and seedy by 1 in the morning. The drinks are WAY too expensive (I\'m talking $6 for a rail gin & tonic-expensive). It\'s hard to get service, because the bar area tends to be so crowded. Etc, etc. \n\nBut, I do have a soft spot for the Bean. Too many good times were had there! This place isn\'t all "twang and hillbilly thang" like some think. In fact, I\'ve NEVER been there when it was overly country(music or crowd).\n\nThey have a decent venue for music, complete with a dance floor that, to me, is ideal. I don\'t want to feel like I\'m one of three people dancing on a table, but I don\'t want to be in a sea of people either. This seems somewhere in between. \n\nThe last time I was there, I just asked the bartender for something "fruity, but not too sweet" and whatever he concocted was good enough for me. \n\nI suppose I\'d never opt for this place if there wasn\'t a band I wanted to see there, though. There are just too many places in Madison for me to support mediocrity.

On my second visit to Honey & Garlic I was very disappointed. I don't recommend this place at all to those who aren't of Chinese descent(I felt totally discriminated against) and I'll tell you why: \n\n1. We came in for dim sum late afternoon on a weekday, and we asked the server as to whether or not dim sum would still be served. She responded that it would, in perfect English.\n2. She promptly served us tea without asking first, so while we didn't want any, we just let it slide.\n3. We waited approximately 20 minutes for them to bring us (any part of) our order, while the disinterested server was settling a dispute with another customer about how long she also had to wait to get her order. The customer, with a wailing baby, had been waiting for 45 minutes and no sign of her 1st order. \n4. The food was decent, as it was on my first visit. No surprises there. \n5. The we waited a very long time for the bill, and after being ignored for a long time we got up and approached our server to pay.\n6. She scribbles a bunch of numbers on a bill, and the total turns out to be several dollars more than expected. I inquire, and she responds that tea is $3, (I never requested it), and apparently tax in this restaurant is 20%?!\n7. She does a retotal and the tax on the bill is still 20%(I wonder if the CRA is even going to see a penny). I can do math, but I was too annoyed at her sudden inability to speak a single word of English, we paid and left in a huff. \n\nI may not understand how this restaurant operates, but in the real world tax is 13% and if a server doesn't take my order, I don't pay for it.\n\nIf you are not looking for a masochistic dining experience and want dim sum *with* quality service I would go down the street to Golden Regency (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/golden-regency-restaurant-markham) or even to Thornhill for Best Dragon (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/best-dragon-seafood-restaurant-vaughan).\n\nNever again, Honey. Not the best dim sum I've had, but they are clean and have a good variety. Lacking in taste, they make up in service. I love this place for the dim sum. Line ups are mad, so go there early. Larger parties get seated quickly, so bring a bunch of friends with you. If you are a party of 4 or less, be prepared to wait. \n\nI drive all the way there from Bloor West Village, and it's worth the drive as the selection is great and I love the carts. Honey and Garlic is one of my favorite dim sum place in the Markham area. I absolutely love the decor and the lighting. I don't remember if it was a weekend but they have people pushing carts of dim sum. So you can see what you're ordering. We had a few special requests and our waiter promptly brought us our dishes from the kitchen. I can't complain much with such service. The food was tasty and fresh - I don't have any favorites but I was happy with what I ordered. Definitely check this out if you're in the area. Want to eat at the cleanest chinese restaurant ever?!? This place is not only clean, but the dishes come in large portions and tasty as ever!\n\nI've had so many things here, from wintermelon soup to a 12 lb Lobster to King Crab. \n\nPrice is a little high, but we eat here only on special occasions. \n\nYou know the place is doing well though when its constantly busy, and instead of using styrofoam takeout containers, they give you plastic re-heatable containers.

Wanted to try a new place. So glad we chose Bella Luna. Had a mixed shellfish dish with a really yummy sauce. Risotto with garlic shrimp was a little soupy but oh so good! We'll be back! My husband took me here for my birthday last night. The antipaste meditterraneian was big enough for two and my veal piccata was perfect. The only comment i have is that my Cosmo didn't taste like it had any vodka in it and has a sugar-rimmed glass - not my favorite.. Unhappy. Went here expecting good Italian food. The food was standard. We arrived at 5:30 and noticed that they had an "early bird special" that ended at 6. At 5:45 I asked the waiter if we could order and he said "I\'ll be back in a minute". Back at 5:59, we are informed we are too late for the special. BAD customer service. So me and my husband decide to split a dish. We are informed that will be a $5 fee. The dish we ordered was so spicy I couldn\'t eat it and ate off the kids\' plates. We were the youngest people there by a good 20 years and I felt like they made it a point that families weren\'t welcome. I was so looking forward to having a neighborhood \'go to\' restaurant. The kind of place you can go to on a weeknight, or any night for that matter and have a nice drink, good food, relaxed atmosphere... \nNot here! I ordered a cosmopolitan before ordering dinner. The waiter brought me back cranberry juice in a martini glass. Upon returning to take our order, I asked if I could have a glass of wine instead. I didn\'t want to make a big deal about the bad cocktail. He said "Why? What\'s wrong with the drink I made you?" I replied I did not prefer it, it tasted like straight cranberry juice, and I\'d like something else. He immediately copped an attitude and proceeded to tell me he made it correctly. He actually argued with me about it. Really?! Just take the drink and bring the glass of wine... nothing to argue about! So, the salad arrives swimming in what looked to be a 1/2 a bottle of dressing, which was some lettuce, 1 grape tomato, and one slice of red onion. Sadly dinner wasn\'t anything to write home about either. Just a piece of white fish with no flavor slapped on a plate. Well, so much for my \'go to\' neighborhood restaurant. Won\'t ever go there again. Wonderful! So welcoming and accommodating! Great calamari and butternut squash ravioli.

The Boardroom is in the same Uptown building where I work so it is very convenient for me to patronize. And thankfully their food is really good for the money!\n\nI mostly come here for the breakfast where they offer healthy and traditionally fattening items like bacon, sausage and eggs. The bad part is that I go down for oatmeal and leave with their breakfast burrito because it's so damned good.....especially their Chipotle sauce!\n\nThey have a cafeteria style lunch counter but offer many sandwiches as well, including burgers and fries. Their Philly is really good. For lunch try thier Lamb Curry or Meatballs/Meatloaf. All very good! The lovely owners are Indian so that's why their curry specials are always delicious!\n\nOverall this is quite the breakfast and lunchspot gem, especially if you work in Uptown! I have worked in the First Citizen building for years now, and I get breakfast from these wonderful people every single day. The eggs are always fluffy, and the breakfast meats are perfectly cooked. Now lets talk lunch....oh my, I can honestly say that they have some of my favorite real homemade food in Charlotte. If you like okra, you HAVE to try it when they have it as a side dish. I could eat bowls of it! Another favorite is their coconut chicken! No matter what you get here, there is so much love in every dish! On top of that, everyone who works here is so nice, you also leave with a friendship!\n\nThank you for all of the tasty meals, Boardroom! I used to go to the Boardroom about a once a week. menu with a great variety of options, from sandwiches to salads and a hot station that typically offers two - three dish options with an abundance of sides and your choice of cornbread or a biscuit. I decided to venture in a few weeks ago and the place was practically empty, not the crowd it used to be. After looking at the hot options, a fish, covered in a red sauce, spaghetti and meatballs, that looked like they were prepared the night before, and some meat, not sure what, I decided I would pass and order a sandwich. It was okay, but overall the staff wasn't too friendly and the atmosphere is definitely outdated with a somewhat disorganized seating area. I wish it was as good as I remebered, but probably not somewhere I would return again. Sorry ;-( Fairly new to the Uptown area, I was looking for some new places to eat beyond the plethora of chain restaurants. Walking down Tryon I came across sign for this place on the side walk and followed the directions into The Shaw building and past the Jersey Mikes.\n\nOne thing you will notice immediately is options. They have salads, soups, wraps, paninis and "home cooked" fare. My opinion of places that have too many options is that they cannot possibly do anything great. And while that holds true for this place, they seem to do a lot of things well.\n\nI have had and enjoyed their paninis, home cooked chicken and vegetables and have even popped in for breakfast (they do offer turkey bacon which is great).\n\nSo far, I have not been wowed by anything I have tried. But the food is reasonably priced and is actually pretty good (a few things over cooked from time to time). It is certainly a welcome break among all the other food options and therefore I have no problem returning. I went here for lunch today because I wanted to try something new instead of settling for the usual. Thanks to Yelp, I found the perfect place to get great meals for under 10 dollars. It took me like 3 minutes to decide on my order. The menu is that huge. They offer so much, it'll make your head spin. Great food overall at great prices.

Had a terrible experience here. Should\'ve known it would be bad by the lack of cars in the parking lot. The appetizer came out and was absolutely delicious. Then everything went downhill from there. My chicken tenders were soaked in mashed potatoes and gravy. They didn\'t even try to separate it on the plate. My soup had no flavor and tasted like they watered it down to avoid making more the proper way. On top of that, the waitress was super ditzy. She took another guests plate of food away before he was even done eating. When she asked how everything was, we replied "Ehh it\'s alright" with disgusted looks. She replies with "okay great!" and walked away. The manager hid in the back booth and didn\'t seem very friendly. Next time, I\'ll be sure to go to the other Dennys right around the corner. We were a party of five. Really great experience. My mother-in-law got her Dennys usual "Moon over my hammy" ; wife, a club, w/ the broccoli cheese soup, & fresh fruit ; daughter, a dinner salad, and very ample order of seasoned fries; grandson a child\'s menu chicken meal ; a I ordered the chicken fried steak from the 55+ list (very filling portions for a 7.99 price). All the food was hot tasty and arrived in reasonable time. But the star of our visit was a very good waitress we\'ve had before, Marley. She\'s always cheerful, attentive to check back, and reliable to bring the requested extras (extra dressing, hot sauce, more napkins, etc.). She\'s also conversational, without being overly talkative. All while training and new employee employee. The young woman in training will do well, in following Marley\'s lead. Also both were very understanding of the needs and associated messiness of us having a one year old in tow. I remember Denny's being better - that being said, you can't go wrong with a free breakfast on your birthday. You have to come ON the day of your birthday and show your ID and you'll get a free Grand Slam breakfast which is 2 eggs (however you like them), bacon, sausage and pancakes. No frills but they serve great coffee and the waitress was a doll! \n\nI'm sure I'll be back next year ;-) Kids were hungry for dinner and Denny\'s it was! However, the one on Clairton Blvd had temporarily shut down; so I made a left, left, right to get to this one. We had a waiter who was just "meh"..but our food was delish. The Grand Slamwich is always my favorite comfort food and it never disappoints. And let us not forget their delicious, mouth-watering milkshakes! Yum! (Three Stars because my son found a hair in his hash browns and didn\'t mention it until the end, so as not to gross us out)..bummer. 100 percent sure my server was on heroin. The methadone clinic must be close.

Oh my goodness! I went looking for some delicious Mexican food while in Tempe on business. When two other businesses listed were closed, I decided to try TC Tacos. I am so glad that I did! The taco dinner plate was so fresh and tasted amazing. The price was also easy on me. You can BYOB and there is a liquor/beer/wine store next door. I will be back!! Sad Day. Apparently there's a new owner. We knew something was different (not in a good way). We both had our favorite fish burrito, it was more of a pico and cabbage burrito! These things used to be loaded with fish and now I was happy to get a tidbit. The service was still wonderful, but unfortunately we will not be returning unless the new owner has an epiphany and serving quality food that meet our expectations. Awesome place! Customer service was excellent! The food, although inexpensive, were very tasty. We got the chicken burrito and they were very good. The hot sauces were also very good and fresh. I will be coming back and I recommend it!! Overall, extremely clean environment with a good dine in experience and yummy food. Our first time here and we'll definitely be back! Great variety of salsas and the one we had with chips was my favorite, it's as if they roasted the chilies, nice smokey flavor. I ordered the chile rellenos, which is always my marker for good Mexican food, wasn't disappointed! Almost as good as my mom's! Service was great too, the owner was there and super friendly, great conversation all around! My boyfriend had al pastor and carne asada tacos, both had great flavor. Looking forward to our next visit! Liked the salsa bar a lot and thought the tacos were good. Got them meatless, there was plenty of flavor, tasted great

Chicken taco came in a fried taco shell that was stale; lengua tasted like frozen roast beef. I've been here many times during my 10 years of living on the East side. This place is always so dirty. Also, it's really annoying that the people taking orders don't speak english! They forgot items in my order this past weekend. I'm done with this crappy location. Absolutely horrible I mean seriously what fucking idiot shoves 8+ chicken tacos in one box!!! Fuck you and tour broken ass chicken tacos putos If you short on cash Roberto's\xe2\x84\xa2 is a winner. $7 and u is topped off. Loosen up the belt and take your shoes off coz u going down! Never. Never. NEVER AGAIN! I've had this place on three separate occasions trying my hardest to give it a shot and I've came to conclusion this place is just not it. The past two times I've been this place literally will send you straight to the bathroom. I got the carne asada nachos and my boyfriend got a burrito. My boyfriend literally began to throw up after his third bite and for myself I was in the bathroom for over an hour. Sorry to over share but this place is horrible. Save your money and the trip because it's definitely not with it.

Like everyone said it's a downtown Dave and Busters with more people and a smaller space. In spite of that it's a decent joint to chill at when looking for bar food and games. Machines get glitchy sometimes but that's natural with abuse I suppose. Nice to experience at least once if you've never been. Fun atmosphere!!! Service was a bit slow for a late afternoon. Stopped in for a drink and a snack after the aquarium. Definitely a fun spot. Drinks were mediocre along with the "huge pretzel." Worth stopping in at least to look around. I like it. Was there to celebrate my birthday and wanted a place that offered more than just dinner. The rec room did that by providing great ambiance, a unique setting, arcade games, and friendly staff....along with a great dinner. The menu offers a variety of which I consider Canadian standard fare (eg: pizza, burgers, steak, fish, poutine, salads, fish, apps, etc), and our food was delicious. The location is easy to get to by transit or driving and garage parking is steps away. I'm looking forward to going back maybe on a day when it's not so busy, although busy is good (really good)! Gord and I had lunch at the Rec Room. It opened about six months ago.\n\nIt is a huge space (over 40,000 sq. feet) with games, entertainment and a restaurant/bar (it will have a patio in the warmer weather). \n\nYou buy a play card (using cash or Scene points) if you want to play the games. Games started at four credits. You can redeem your points for prizes.\n\nWe sat at a table by some big windows. There weren't a lot of people when we got there but it did get busier. The noise level from the games was noticeable but not annoying ... our server said, though, it does get louder as it gets busier. I found there was a funny smell throughout the restaurant (maybe mustiness because it's an old building?).\n\nGord ordered fish & chips. He said it was good (it looked good) and he'd get it again. I ordered a chicken BLT (minus the lettuce). It was a good sandwich and the chicken was moist and tender. The fries were good too. I'd get this again.\n\nThe food and beer aren't cheap ... a draught beer starts at $9 (plus taxes) for a local beer, which is about $7 elsewhere. I thought my meal was reasonably priced but found other things on the menu priced high. I guess things have a premium price because of the access to the games (I'm not a gamer).\n\nOur server was friendly but he didn't check in with us between the time we ordered (I had to ask someone else for salt and pepper as there was none on any of the tables and someone else took away our plates) and when we wanted our bill.\n\nThe Rec Room wouldn't be a destination for me but I'd stop in to have a beer on the patio in the summer if I was in the 'hood. Came here strictly for food on a weekend afternoon, walked in and saw that it looked similar to D&B's which was a cool concept. Didn't get a chance to play anything but walked around to see what games they offered. If the restaurant was full the playing area would definitely be over crowded for the size. Thankfully, it was not busy so we were able to get seated right away.\n\nTheir food menu seems pretty good and different compared to other arcade restaurants we've been to. They also offer brunch which was nice too. I would definitely say they offer more food choices with a better range of ingredients. \n\nWe didn't order much - just a pizza and a small order of fries. The waiter brought over a bag of popcorn which was cute and different. It was the good popcorn too - movie theatre kind! \nThe pizza was very good not overly greasy and not too bland. The fries were the kind that I loved, thick cut fries.\n\nOverall, a very good addition to add to the area of choices to eat before / after a baseball game. Prices seem fair - around $17 for the pizza good for 2 people. We'll come back if we need to grab a bite before a baseball game!

Really lovely restaurant! It's small but the food is really well prepared. My risotto was perfect... the rice a soft on the outside with a little crunch in the middle, simply perfect. The entree are really interesting including the zucchini flowers and the salumi platter. If you are looking for a restaurant for a romantic dinner for two or a birthday celebration with friends...then I strongly recommend Inferno located in Little Italy. The interior of the restaurant is simply beautiful...wooden decor and dim lighting is stunning. Once you settle into the resto , you will be warmly greeted and experience excellent service. Then comes the food which is amazing...beautifully presented dishes packed with such great Mouth-watering flavors. What is unique about this resto is that their menu changes every 2 weeks...which will keep you coming back for more tasting of great dishes! Will definitely go back! Un de mes restaurants pr\xc3\xa9f\xc3\xa9r\xc3\xa9!! Le menu change aux deux semaines, c'est toujours un vrai d\xc3\xa9lice!!\n\nIl y a toujours de l'ambiance et le staff est extremement sympatique! Bon choix de vin aussi! I loved every bite at Inferno! It is so refreshing to have homemade pasta and sauce in Little Italy again. The crab stuffed squash flowers are amazing. The osso bucco tasted better than my grandmother\'s (but don\'t tell her I said so.) I loved the mix of real Italian food with inspired, yet simple dishes like lobster rolls. The seasoning was perfect; they were even better than the ones I\'ve had in Maine. Also, the cafe next door has the best lattes I\'ve ever been served. I suggest sipping a latte on the sidewalk before heading to Inferno for a great meal. It\'s obvious the chefs care about the food they serve. If you consider yourself a "foodie," eat here before everyone finds out about it and you need a reservation. Nous sommes all\xc3\xa9s avec un ami italien et avons tous les 3 appr\xc3\xa9ci\xc3\xa9 notre soir\xc3\xa9e.\n\nPlats savoureux. Ambiance chaleureuse et d\xc3\xa9contract\xc3\xa9e. \n\nSitu\xc3\xa9 dans la Petite Italie, il tient t\xc3\xaate \xc3\xa0 certains voisins r\xc3\xa9put\xc3\xa9s.

We were bummed to find one of our favorite restaurants near our church in Scottsdale closed last week. We had dined there often after Saturday evening mass with friends or when in the area for lunch special. Great, fairly priced food and inviting patio made it a favorite of many ... including our priest. Loved their wonton soup, orange chicken with spinach and scallop salad. Always seemed to have a good crowd. So sorry to arrive and find the doors locked. Best wishes to all who worked there and gave such great service. Not sure about the other Bamboo Clubs in the Phoenix area, but this one.....uh.......I wouldn't go there again if you paid me. \n\nYes that sounds very harsh. I will say that it was not the wait staff that is causing me to give such a poor review, our waiter was friendly, and prompt. The food however......leaves a lot to be desired.\n\nWe ordered the lunch special which consists of a soup, an appetizer, and a main course all for $9.95. Not bad huh? Yeah well I think there is a reason for the 'steal of a deal' pricing.\n\nSo let me break it down for ya.....\n\n- Iced tea tasted like steamed cardboard. I think it was supposed to be green tea...but not 100% sure.\n\n- Wonton soup, not too bad, but the pork tasted rubbery.\n\n- Fried rice almost made me vomit. Seriously folks. Without going into Drama Queen mode...let me just say EEEEW. I could have sworn they cooked band-aids with the rice because that's how it tasted.\n\n- The crab wontons...too crabby and peppery. \n\n- The mandarin orange chicken, eh..so-so. That was about the only thing I picked at on my plate. I'm hoping that it was really chicken and not some other animal because it did look a little strange for chicken.\n\nWe did get seated quickly and got our food in a flash. Our waiter was very courteous and the environment is pretty cool. It's just a shame that the food was so incredibly bad. I\'ve dined at this location a handful of times...usually to meet up with friends who live in the East Valley. (since Desert Ridge is a nice half way point) Honestly, I have no complaints. \n\nThe service has always been very good as the waitstaff is very attentive. The only thing I have had there is the Grilled Halibut with Mango Salsa on an Asparagus "raft." Delicious! Actually, I have also enjoyed the steamed side of veggies which is wonderful as well. My husband has tried the Lemongrass Chicken and really enjoy it as well as the Crispy Honey Chicken dish. \n\nMy most recent visit was on 10/11/08...although pricey, we walked away without complaints. I\'d give it a 3.5. This particular Bamboo Club was so-so. The food was good, although they didn\'t serve me what I ordered which was a disappointment since I was looking forward to one of my favorites. I\'d chock that up to just a bonehead waiter.\n\nIt\'s decent "Americanized" Asian food if you like big chains like PF Chang\'s and Pei Wei, but it\'s not "true" Asian food to me and I didn\'t expect that it would be. I\'ll still go there on occasion, but I\'ll be on the look out for more independent locales with more authentic fare.\n\nI think I need to venture more towards the East Valley for that... My partner should be the one writing this review, but since he doesn\'t have a yelp account, it\'s up to me to let you know how incredibly bad this place is.\n\nJust in case you don\'t want to read any further we wholeheartedly recommend going to Albertson\'s or any other grocery store, buying any type of Lean Cuisine Asian Entree and heating it up in your microwave. It would be ten times better than The Bamboo Club.\n\nNow since you\'ve gotten this far I\'ll tell you the whole long drawn-out story. \n\nThree weeks ago we moved to Aviano at Desert Ridge. The unfortunate part is there are NO locally owned restaurants anywhere nearby, none, zip, nada. That leaves only the chains at Desert Ridge Mail and we don\'t like most chain restaurants. \n\nSo I started the day with a trip to Tucson to see my Aunt and Uncle. Since I wasn\'t going to get back until about 7:00 PM we decided before I left that we would eat out. Tom decided he wanted Asian Food and when I got back home he was starving. He initially suggested Tang\'s Asian Bistro, but when we found out it was an "order at the counter" type of place we decided to go across the street to The Bamboo Club. What a HUGE mistake. \n\nWe\'ve been to other Bamboo Club\'s in the past and haven\'t like the food, plus the are incredibly overpriced. We will NEVER go again. \n\nYou have to understand, my partner is very forgiving and pretty easy going...he puts up with me. But, tonight here\'s how he described The Bamboo Club:\n\n"This is terrible"\n"I was looking for something in the dish I liked, but I just can\'t. It\'s really bad"\n"I don\'t like either of these dishes. Neither of them are anything special"\n"God, that was awful"\n"I would\'ve rather gone to Panda Express"\n\nAs you can see, it was VERY BAD. Don\'t say I didn\'t warn you.

This "gold mine" on Victoria Park makes the absolute best Spaghetti Bolognese in Toronto! I\'ve never even found spaghetti sauce this fantastic in high-end Italian restaurants. I stumbled into this place and brought home a dinner order of spaghetti. Honestly, I almost cried it was so UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME! I later found out the owner\'s background is in fine dining, no wonder! Old school spaghetti with meat sauce made with beef & veal, HUGE portion, fresh ingredients, PERFECT blend of garlic and seasonings, even the salt is in perfect balance. I often long for this at night when I\'m home and I\'m not even a pasta person. Try it, maybe you\'ll want to cry too! Our nearby school ordered from Pizza La Rosa for a recent luncheon. It was a big hit. The crust tastes very light and not too doughy. The toppings were plentiful and tasty. We enjoyed the grilled veggie pizza. Overall, everything tasted homemade. In fact, it was so yummy that I went in the next day to order for my family. The owner and his wife were wonderful and gracious. It always feels great to support a local family-run business, especially when the quality of the food is superior. Tried their meat lasagna as takeout and it was absolutely delicious. Reasonable prices + great service + tasty food = lots of repeat business! Was expecting it to be a lot better than it turned out. Burned crust was the only flavor, do not recommend. Good place for lunch, big portions , great taste, under 10 deals. Humble owner. Clean sitting.\nGood for American style Pizza and Pasta. They do customize, to fit your needs. \nAll of vegetarian options available.\n\nFor people who prefer Halal, this place serves halal food. My little lady is what you'd call an olive garden variety italian so imagine the dirty look I received when I suggested we order a halal pizza. Oh Please the closest you ever been to Italy was when Nona smuggled home 3 bricks of aged Asiago in her luggage after the homecoming trip to Calabria so don't give me that look. \n\nThere's a universal ingredient in these pizzas called passion and lotsa love...ya feel me pisan? We practically invented Mediterranean cuisine for that reason...I'm talkin about when the Moors ruled Spain and Sicily type stuff. \n\nThese folks even deliver next door so don't be shy about nudging them to do it in case you get push back from my owner friend ;-) I guess good things are worth the extra effort eh chief? Next time I'll have the usual calzone use buzz code 33 and remember: \n\nFigliuole e frittelle, quante piu se ne fa, piu vegon belle\n(Children and fried food: The more you make the better they come out)

Oh KFC (this one is a Pizza Hut/KFC)! How I LOATHE thee last night!\n\nI just picked up my kid from his late shift at work - he was tired and needed something to eat. For some reason, there was no food at home. Huh? Really? Where does all the groceries I pay for go? \n\nMinutes later, a call from my other kid saying he\'s famished because he didn\'t want to eat the microwaved pizza offered while he volunteered for his school graduation. Well that confirms it, there is nothing at their house...UGH!\n\nI was quite thankful that a KFC was opened passed 10PM. They didn\'t want Pizza and I just wanted to do a take out. Fits the bill.\n\nI went in. Waited and waited and waited until someone took my order. They seem unorganized. Ordered a 9-piece with the gravy - can\'t forget the gravy, kids would go nuts!\n\nOrder gets ready. Fries are packed, salad packed, gravy packed...waiting for the guys to stop talking to each other so they can get me on the way. \n\nAllow me to recount my adventure in the Pizza Hut/KFC restaurant.\n\nWhilst the young man (Nick) who donned the prestigious drive thru headset was engaged in ineffectual chatter with the man who owns the tongs, a women of large stature entered the domain.\nShe proceeds to the prepared chicken station and seizing a pair of tongs takes all the scrumptious morsels out and placed into what seems to be a Large Paper Cup - or affectionately called their Bucket. I thought she was completing my meal, however, she doth runneth off into the dark back room whilst shouting something to the dumfounded men.\nNick hurries over to the warmer and he and his useless companion realizes that they have been ransacked and their storage had been raided. NOW S#!T gets REAL!\n\nNick looks at me and says, it\'s going to be a 25 minute wait. WTF?!? What just happened? Uh...Pizza Hut is running an all you can eat and they ran out of chicken. Uhm...I beg your PARDON? You allowed someone from Pizza Hut to run into the kitchen and then take MY order and run off. AND NOW...I have wasted time so I can\'t go anywhere else to feed my kids.\n\nI asked why did they not complete my order and why allow someone from the other business to come in and take my order. A weak sorry and then he offered to give me a refund. F! Really...I can have a refund? I yelled over what do you expect me to do now? Wait until 11PM for your food? Why did you allow her to take my order!!?? The other people can wait as they are seated and has some sort of food in front of them! This is unfair and unacceptable! Got a useless and incomprehensible answer.\n\nI left in a huff. Dropped off the kid. He and his bro had to go with none because a bunch of heifers needed to "All You Can Eat." Really? All you can eat Pizza and Chicken? No...we don\'t have an epidemic at all.\n\nJeers!!!! Tried their $7.99 buffet. Meh. You're not paying for the usual quality of food you would get a KFC or Pizza Hut imo. It was pretty telling how empty this place was at 3pm... Only 3 tables were here for the buffet.\n\nThe food (pizza, chicken, fries) was not hot. It was lukewarm at best. The pizza was also quite dissatisfying (lack of toppings, or burnt) So little selection too. Can't even choose my usual drink...I could only choose from reg pepsi or diet pepsi... Like really what diff would it make if I asked for a diff fountain drink flavour? They're all just soda water and syrup bags lol. If they included KFC cold salads I would think it would be better for variety. The only salad they offered was a Caesar salad.\n\nIn terms of service it was courteous, but so very slow and maybe somewhat negligent. It was literally just one lady who came around with a tray of either pizza or chicken (not both, you have to wait for whichever you want), asking each table if they wanted any. She doesn't exactly come around often, and the meal stretched out for so long because that one server was also bussing tables and cleaning up and only makes serving rounds every now and then. I would prefer if it was all served in a buffet table and was self serve. :T\n\nNot really worth the drive up here if you're coming from another part of the GTA, especially with the crazy traffic in the area. Well that was fun to experience... I arrived and seated somewhat anticipating to be disappointed by the $7.99 AYCE for KFC and Pizza Hut. To my surprise, the place was packed just after 9pm, with a long waiting line. I guess the deal was getting hot. Various pizza slices were fresh and soft just the way I liked it. Many pizza pans kept arriving to the buffet island this Friday night, and were quickly scavenged by the hungry guests. Salad bar was lacking in dressing. Fried chicken and fries came soon after, served individually at regular intervals. Pepsi and iced water were promptly served and the two waitresses seemed to manage to take care of the large crowd's late night appetite. \n\nNothing to complain as I didn't have high expectations coming here. Cash register could have been more prompt, but they didn't seem to expect guests to leave AYCE full in the first hour. I can definitely see this being hit or miss depending on how often you're served and if you're quick to the buffet island. As they say, early bird gets the worm. So I had a few things on my bucket list, you know the usual - Climb Mt Everest, walk the great wall of China end to end, eat an all you can eat KFC.....wait how did that last one sneak in there?\n\nIn all seriousness, my other half and I actually had quite a decent time here unlike other reviewers. We heard about the "all you can eat" special at this particular KFC/Pizza Hut combo restaurant for a whopping $7.99. We figured what did we have to lose and to just give this place a shot.\n\nWe arrived promptly at 8:50 on a Friday night (the dinner special runs M-F from 9-11). We were one of two tables that was seated first. In the end I wouldnt say the restaurant was packed, but it was quite decently full. In total I would say we had two large plates of salad (each plate can serve two people), 6 slices of pizza (Hawaiian, pepperoni, veggie and cheese), fries, gravy, large pepsi and in total 15 pieces of KFC chicken. Needless to say I feel like I gained 10 lbs and I dont think I will be coming back at least for the next decade. \n\nThe way the buffet works is that you are seated, and then they come out with the food and make their rounds around each table. First round of salad and pepsi came out without needing to ask, then subsequently we had to ask for more salad. Pizza came out in abundance, and they also came out with the large buckets of KFC chicken or fries. \n\nThe first round when they were giving out the chicken, we got jipped a bit and we only got one piece each as our server ran out. Though she promised she would start with us the next round, which she kept her promise and did start off with us this time and gave us a whopping 6 to make up for the lack from the last round. \n\nI would say the food came out at a decent pace spread out enough, that you dont necessarily gorge yourself in one shot. In total we were there from 9 to 10:15. Towards the 45 minute mark a few more tables came in and a few other ones left. So we sort of lucked out where when they came out they had a huge bucket of chicken and piled it on for us.\n\nI can see how depending on your server, and your luck you may get a better deal then others - But we were super nice to our server, not sure if that helped or not. \n\nI would say its a pretty unbeatable price for the quantity of food we got, but again check your expectations when coming in. If you dont have high expectations, then this place would totally be worth a try. \n\nBearing all this in mind, the price, the quantity, keeping my expectations low and with the pleasant surprise at how good our servers were is why I am actually rating this place quite high. \n\nThough again, your milage may vary - I did have to ask a few times for something I ordered, but again I didnt have very high expectations and was pleasantly surprised. WOW. What the actual fuck. Readers, prepare yourselves for the wrath of my fury (this is the first time I\'ve sworn for a review). I\'m going to cross-post this for both KFC and Pizza Hut. \n\nI was actually speechless at how TERRIBLE my experience was. I would give it 0 stars if I could. I came with my boyfriend for the "all you can eat pizza and fried chicken" deal as advertised heavily on lawn signs outside and posters within the restaurant. With high hopes, we were seated at 9:30pm. We were told that the way the "buffet" works is that employees bring food out sporadically and you get the option to take one piece per person. Sure, that sounds fair if the food comes out regularly, right?\n\nBUT NOPE. The meal was a HUGE SCAM and customer service was TERRIBLE. We asked for gravy, what? 5 times? and it was FINALLY brought to us A FULL HOUR LATER at 10:30pm... Also, guess what "all you can eat fried chicken" entailed... ONE piece of chicken over an entire hour of waiting. WHAT THE ACTUAL???? \n\nJust terrible. For a franchise, I can\'t believe they get away with this kind of BS. Realistically, this meal should\'ve been advertised as "a few small slivers of pizza and maybe chicken if you\'re lucky for a two hour wait". Oh, and it was cold pizza.\n\nThe value for the overall meal was SO disappointing. I wasn\'t even remotely full when I left. You should\'ve seen the look on my face when they said it was last call when they had only brought out chicken once... Coming here was A HUGE waste of time. \n\nIn retrospect, I should\'ve just ordered a bucket and that would\'ve saved me a lot of time and actually gotten me chicken.. although sidenote: I laugh at the combined irony of my experience and Peter\'s review! It seems this establishment can\'t get ANY part of their business right! They\'re just all excuses.

How do I get coupons for this place. Some people get them mailed to them and I hear that I can get them by email. [email protected] Went here upon a suggestion from friend. Glad we went. Took my son here for his birthday dinner. Chips and salsa were good. Son ordered the seafood chimi fundido style, which he enjoyed very much (that chimi was gone in no time). I ordered the chicken chimi fundido style, my fav, and it was yummy. I'm picky about refried beans and rice but I will have to so say that theirs is very tasty.\n\nServer was friendly and attentive to our needs, came by quite often to make sure everything was ok. Service was quite quick. Didn't have to wait long for our food once our order was placed. \n\nNice little place. Will definitely be going back. Excellent POLLO FUNDIDO, and BURGERS. I've been here twice and both times the food was really good. Oh chicken chimichanga fundido style, how i love thee. With your oozy layers of cheddar and cream cheese covering your cripsy skin. Nestled so cozily between lovely piles of rice and beans, your a vision to behold and a pleasure to consume!\n\nI grew up in phoenix and in high school my girlfriend-come-wife introduced me to the glory of Hal-O-Penos' Chicken Chimichanga Fundido Style and I was instantly smitten, with the girl and the food. My best friend also fell in love, just with the food, and the three of us ate countless meals here for many years. For my wife and I, the best strategy for poor high schoolers was to go for dinner and fill up on their yummy chips and salsa then take our chicken chimis home for dinner or lunch the next day. They are awesome even reheated!\n\nAlas, now my wife and I live in Salt Lake and are unable to satisfy our ravenous desire for Hals on a regular basis, but we still compare all other chimichangas to those glorious fundido style chimis and whenever we visit home, our first stop is always Hals with Clint. When I said Pedros was the best Mexican food restaurant in Phoenix, I don't think I had been to Hal O Peno's yet. I love how roomy the establishment is. The servers are always friendly, quick, and accommodating. The never ending hot and fresh chip basket along with their mild and spicy red sauce is amazing. When my fiance and I go to Hal O Penos we both order the same thing. The shredded beef chimichanga fundido style combo is Efffing amazing. It is the holy grail of mexican food. If I were in prison on death row and was asked what my last meal would be, it would be that. I am never disappointed when we visit. Just writing this review is making me hungry for Hal O Penos. Damn yelp...

I used to frequent China Sea. It was amazing years ago but not anymore. Six months ago I got sick twice in the same month from eating it but since the staff is amazing and I work across the street I tried it again. Big mistake. My shrimp and lobster sauce tasted like soap and had mangled chunks of what I presume to be pork. I gave it a taste but man was it awful. Dry unidentifiable and stiff. The shrimp was twisted and hardly recognizable as shrimp and tasted like they soaked in laundry soap and salt. I couldnt finish. No matter how friendly and nice the staff is its not worth the risk again. Im only hoping not to be sick from whatever was in there. On a side note CSU has a very large population of those who don't eat pork. I find it disturbing the staff is ok with serving this to people. I watched him look in the container to verify and repeat the number. Not good. Gone are the days when I recommended this spot as a best kept secret. I wouldnt feed this stuff to stray cats. I guess I was not too surprised by the bubble tea quality after I stepped in the store and after tasting the bubble tea, I was not too surprised by their food quality either.\n\nbubble tea: many people seemed to have good things to say about their drinks but my opinion is: it is way too watered down. I could not taste any milk in it and a third of the drink was filled with ice. it was like drinking sweetened beverage rather than thick, milky bubble tea. the flavored teas were a little worse - I thought it was just smoothie but no they literally just added some condensed fruit juice or powder into their already bland milk tea. the bubble consistency was very good tho, good job. but man this bubble tea is way off.\n\nfood: we ordered minced pork over rice, hot and spicy two flavored beef, and salted fish with chicken and tofu hot pot. I have to say the pork over rice was probably the best among all. it is cheap, only $7. although it tasted a little different from what its suppose to be like, and Taiwanese people don't really put bean sprouts and snow peas and fried egg on top of this dish, but I'm in general happy with this one. one comment about their rice: it was so hard. it is obvious that they used left over rice and didn't heat it up properly. sigh.\n\nthe hot and spicy beef was way off again - the cut was too thick and the meat had a weird after taste. not sure if they didn't make it spicy enough to cover it or if the meat was not fresh.\n\nthe hotpot dish was ok, but it really didn't wow me at all.\n\nparking: street parking is hard to find. you may get some luck with lot parking behind the restaurant. you will have to pay tho. Small hole in the wall restaurant. Saw this place when I was driving down Euclid. Read a review that mentioned Taiwanese food and I knew I had to stop by. Definitely a take out restaurant that is designed to cater to the CSU community. Parking is a pain. \n\nThe cook is Taiwanese, but can understand Cantonese. His son? who runs the front can speak mandarin. The menu is in both Chinese and English. \n\nWe tried the Taiwanese beef noodle, Taiwanese minced pork and rice, hot pot tofu with salty fish and chicken. The noodles were good, but definitely not the traditional noodles you would expect. The beef was tender, but the broth was not too impressive. The minced pork was good, but could do without so much corn starch. I prefer the traditional boiled tea egg vs the pan fried egg that came with the dish. The hot pot tofu dish was tasty. The tofu was firm and the salty fish was surprisingly not overwhelming. Ended the meal with a hot milk bubble tea. The tea was good (made from real tea leaves - option of black vs green tea), but the boba was not as soft as I would have liked. Pricey for the portions, but a must try. Not too often can you get Taiwanese food in Cleveland. Will prob come back to try other dishes on the menu! I have never written a review before, but my experience today was extremely disappointing. I've been here at least eight times, and this will probably be my last time here. I'm so so disappointed by the food and milk tea today. My first warning should have been none of the old staff here since they moved to their other branch Phusion Cafe (which is fantastic by the way).\n\nMilk tea\n- Large pearl black tea. I asked for light ice and sugar. It came out tasting only of milk and no tea flavor. Extremely disappointed because I love milk tea and Ten Ren milk tea is one of my favorite milk tea stores. Boba was still good. I didn't feel like asking them to remake it. \n- My two friends got Jasmine Milk green tea with pearls with light ice and sugar. Slightly better tea flavor, but mostly milk flavor. Still good boba.\n\nFood\n- Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. I ALWAYS get it when I come here. Why? Because it is my comfort food that reminds me of home since my mom makes fantastic beef noodle soup. This time, the soup (which is typically dark brown and flavorful) was bland and watered down to a light brown. The beef was still marinated well.\n- Minced Meat Rice. My friend always get this and both her and I were disappointed. The sauce is supposed to be slightly thick, but this time it was so watery. It was pretty much had no taste with a weird sour aftertaste. Honestly, it seems like it may have just been premade and then reheated, but maybe kept in the fridge too long.\n- Kung pao Chicken. My Caucasian friend got this and even she couldn't finish half of her meal. The chicken was bone dry and had no flavor. The peanuts were not cooked well and tasted and crunched like just normal salted peanuts. The celery was literally mush in your mouth. The fried rice was extremely yellow and tasted so bad that I spat it out.\n\nService\n- We were ordering to eat at the restaurant, but had to pay first and order at the front desk. In the other times that I have been there, this was never the case. We were always seated, given menus, and paid at the end. I'm not sure if this is a new store policy or something.\n- The food also came out in takeout containers and takeout chopsticks despite the fact that we ate in the restaurant. I saw the Indian cashier take my take out container and pour it into a bowl before serving me. My friends still had take out containers though. It wasn't even close to closing hours too.\n- It honestly just felt like we had ordered takeout and ate at the restaurant instead.\n\nI'm so so disappointed about my food and drink that it is almost hilarious. After this, I will be going to Phusion Cafe since most of their workers will be there and I won't risk the chance of having one of my favorite foods and drinks being bad.\n\nEDIT\nAfter emailing Phusion Cafe, I was notified fairly quickly that there is no relation between China Sea and Phusion Cafe. They are separate restaurants and I will still be going to Phusion Cafe as China Sea has gone downhill. This place just opened and I finally tried it tonight. It was amazing! The friendly owner showed me pictures of his dogs while I waited for my food. I had the snow pea greens with tofu and it was divine. I'm a vegan and obsessed with greens so this really hit the spot. They cook all their vegetarian items on separate equipment which gave me peace of mind. I will be back to try more.

Nice service. Take out was packaged well. Good food. There spicy tuna roll and Philadelphia are exemplary versions of classics. The fire island was complex, sweet, spicy, and savory. The garlic chicken came out before the sushi and was sweet and spicy. Will be back again and likely will order the spicy tuna and Philadelphia again along with a spicy scallop roll. Went here at 8pm on a Tuesday night. The food was good and the service was quick and friendly.\n\nItems tried:\n1) Pork & vegetable dumplings. Got them fried vs steamed. They were great and dipping sauce was delicious.\n2) Fire Island Roll w/o the aoili on top. This was fantastic! Will definitely order again.\n3) Teriyaki beef entree. Beef was a little dry but overall flavor was great. Just added some soy sauce and all was well. My cousin and I bought a groupon to eat here. WELL WORTH IT.\nWhen I'm in Charlotte I'll come back\n1. We ordered a lot of sushi. It was fresh and came out surprisingly fast\n2. I had iced tea- they refilled it plenty\n3. We both ordered miso soup- this was some good miso- it had some nice extra mushrooms or something in it.\n\nDefinitely coming back. Excellent service. Have come many times. Service getting worse. Never got saki. Dish had tufu when I did not order. Replacement dish had no flavor. Will not be back.

Very authentic!!! Came upon this little place in Guadalupe through a recommendation from a friend and let me tell you, I was very impressed!! They serve the best mini chimies and crispy tacos I've ever had. Not only that, but the service is 110%. The staff is so friendly and ensures that everything is to your satisfaction. This will definitely be my go-to Mexican food restaurant now when I'm feeling the craving! Thank God for this traditional Sonoran take out. To all the Berto drive throughs take note to the flavors you get at a traditional Sonoran kitchen. Seriously have you ever tasted the bitter nasty hot sauce you get at a Berto? Taste the difference. Classic "whole in the wall" Filibertos style restaurant. Very unpretentious and basic style. Located in Guadalupe. Ordered the Chili Rellenos special for lunch. Reasonably priced at ~ $7. I usually only buy the Chili Rellenos dinners -so I can compare all the Mexican restaurants an also because I love this dish.\nAnyways - rice nice and fluffy,beans tasty and Chili Rellenos very tasty. Also came with a side of salsa and another spicy sauce. I talked to some of the locals who were eating there and they all seemed very happy with the food. One guy pointed out that he always came on a Wednesdays for the $1 Tacos. Unfortunately I missed the specials signs. Nice covered area out front plus eating in-side if required.\n\nAs Arni said - "I\'ll be back" $.99 taco Wednesdays. Can't beat that deal. The best taco shells I've ever had. Freshly fried taco shells. The Meat tastes great too. The Loretos Burger cane upon a recommendation. I also ordered it with Rolled Tacos and Green Tomatillo salsa, because I can. I never thought I would find an amazing burger in a Mexican Restaurant. This had diced bacon which was so much better than leaving in strips. I'm now asking the bacon to be diced from now on if it's possible. They were so nice too.

I'm not one for hyperbole (this is actually a lie), but: BEST BURGER EVER!!\n\nSeriously, though - I can't remember having a tastier burger, ever. I got the Rail with cheese, loaded. It looked like a cartoon dagwood sandwich, with all the veggies. I loved it!\n\nMy friend and I shared a wedge salad before our burgers came out. It was delicious, and could probably be split 4 ways and still be an ample serving. \n\nOur server was Diane, and she was phenomenal!! She was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She seemed genuinely happy to be there, and it was infectious. What an awesome, classy lady! I\'m giving The Rail three stars instead of four solely due to the fact that we were seated by the hostess AFTER other guests that had come in after us!\n\nOtherwise the food was great. I ordered the electric lemonade as suggested by the bartender and it was tasty. Couldn\'t really do more than one or two if I tried though on account of it being a bit sweet for my liking.\n\nFor my burger I also went with the bartender\'s suggestion and ordered their "Crouching Burger (Hidden Bacon)" burger (Ohio thick-cut bacon | pork shoulder | crispy won-ton | rail sauce). It was delicious and cooked how I ordered it. It was not disappointing for $10.50. I believe we had the Gouda Cheese Bites as well which were intensely appetizing.\n\nI would suggest coming here for a meal prior to catching a film at the new Great Northern movie theater!\n\nFood: 4/5\nService: 2.5/5\nAtmosphere: 4/5 Fries were cold and shoestring fries. My medium temp Burger was hot and good. Sat at the bar and bartender didn\'t come by and see if all was alright until my Local Yokal was finished. The manager seems real hands on. I seen him taking plates from tables and was doing a bathroom check when I was inside and he was cleaning the sink. Warm fries that have "more meat on their bones" would be nice. Otherwise not bad, good beer selection On the way to the mall, I stumbled upon this burger gem. Being a burger snob, this place has exceptional ingredients used on their burgers. High quality meat, and amAzing combinations. I'm definitely coming back. Also amazing drink specials. Can't wait to come back First time ever eating at The Rail. Food was excellent, the waitress was fantastic, and the manager superb. We had one burger that was cooked wrong, it was near raw in the middle. It happens, they took the burger back took it off our bill and gave my wife dessert on top of that. We will return again.

Place is small! It is a family run business!\nThe food was Great !!!! The service was friendly! Portions are small.... but a healthy small! We will be back for sure!!! Small restaurant but I have not received such a friendly service from any restaurant in years. Top notch. We went there for Mothers day dinner. The price for the portion and quality of food they served is very reasonable and good quality. What impressed me was after the dinner, the host gave my mom half dozen of roses. Very heart warming and pleasant surprise. Came here to pick up takeout for the first time. Very polite and professional staff and the tempura shrimp was great. I look forward to my next trip. Surprised indeed, great sushi and well priced, definitely worth the drive to Nobleton! If for the rest of my life I could only eat at one place it would be here. THERE FOOD IS SO GOOD. I EAT HERE ONCE A WEEK!!! Love them. I never want to eat anywhere else. \n\nBit pricey but worth it..\n\nUpdate. \n\nUpdated prices new menu. $5-$13 more per item. Extremely not worth it. AT ALL. I'm sorry Misoya. What are you doing ? $18 for 10 pieces of sushi?

Food is awful!! The shredded veggies come from a machine and taste like mush. The teriyaki sauce has no flavor.The shrimp is frozen, tiny and tasteless. I do not recommend this place. This is not Japanese food. I wouldn\'t call their food crazy excellent, but man, is it super filling and cheap! Sansei Japan sells Americanized Japanese fast food, it\'s pretty tasty for the price. First, someone is usually always standing outside and giving out samples of chicken for you to taste. That\'s usually what hooks me in.\n\n Also, they cook everything to order. They cook on a flat top which is open to customers so that they can see the worker prepare the food--pretty nifty! Everything that they serve comes in a "to-go" container, which is useful if you\'re planning to go home right away after hours of shopping at the mall. In each box, they usually pile on a ton of food, which is great when I am sulking from starvation at the mall! They try to get you your money\'s worth. There is a small variety of items: beef, chicken..even sushi! Also, some sort of special is always going on for 4.99 or 5.99!\n\nAgain, their food\'s not the best, but we all know that Meadows has just an average food court--but I get so hungry, I never complain! I had high expectations not only because I was a paying customer, but because I have enjoyed this meal at other malls and Sansei has always been where I go. This time was much different. It took nearly 20 minutes for the food to be prepared as it was "made to order". I appreciate that and am fine to wait for quality food, but upon taking one bite, it was immediately deposited to the trash. Horrid. Absolutely horrid. The shrimp appeared discolored, the chicken had a slimy feel to it, no grill marks which to me meant it was not on the grill very long and the noodles were cold and more like a spaghetti than the normal ones. It was the worst meal I have ever paid for. They had young kids working there - and I contemplated on even saying anything, but decided they would not know if I did not share. I did share with the young lady how I felt about the food, but how I felt did not seem to matter to her, so I was on my way. The staff is nice but the teriyaki is bland. I know it is a mall location but with the recent additions of better places to eat they should up the game. I got the chicken an beef teriyaki at Meadows mall. The food was sloppily made and tasteless. Never going back!

We decided to check out the re-opened Stromboli Inn and we are very glad we did.\nIt is much smaller (five tables) and the menu is short, but the pizza is just as we remembered it.\n\nWe will be back. Hands down the best pizza I've ever had. I'm stomach says stop I'm full but my mouth keeps going. \n I must point out the service, we ordered a pizza with a substituted topping. When server knew the cook made a mistake they gave us that pizza and another one at no charge.\n I will be back here every time I come through Calgary! Stromboli has been an institution in Calgary for decades. Their pizza remains a personal all time favourite. The quality of the dough and freshness of ingredients remain. Such a beautiful dining experience. \nThe premises allow for an intimate dining meal. The staff are exceptional in their attention to customer service. \nA pleasurable experience only made better with exceptional food. Make this an experience you will not forget. Disclaimer: I'm writing this review feeling fat and satisfied on incredible pizza and red wine. It's a really good feeling, and if you want to feel it too, I'd highly recommend you give Stromboli Inn a try sooner rather than later.\n\nIt's located in a charmingly small century(ish) bungalow in Bridgeland, so right off the bat it's winning some serious notches on the adorable scale. The interior is the same size as the dining and living rooms would be in a small bungalow, seating about four tables, or 16(ish) people. While the inside has a nice and intimate, yet family style feel with all the photos on the walls, I'd highly recommend grabbing a spot on the exceptionally cute covered patio. It's off the Main Street in Bridgeland, so it's a nice quiet place in the jars of the city to eat some tasty Italian 'za' as the sun goes down. Great to have this back with the same bread crust pizza as the old Kensington location.

I love it, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, my favorite PGH restaurant It seems like everyone in Pittsburgh is ranting and raving about Meat and Potatoes. I have half a mind to join them. However I feel like M&P is like that girl you pick up at 2 AM when the boozer is letting out. Things look great right then and there but looming back the next morning you are left thinking "Weren\'t you prettier last night?" This is my morning after wake up call. \n\nWe will start with the decor. I like it. It\'s a cool modern take on the kind of look one gets in a classic pub. While this should lend to a warm inviting atmosphere, M&P is somehow able to make is feel cold and pretentious. Secondly, the tables are crammed in so tight big guys like me can end up feeling very cramped. On that note I would like to apologize to the poor people seated next to me on my last visit. The layout forced my butt in your dinner. Sorry. \n\nThe service can mirror the feel from time to time. Sometimes I get warm and friendly, other times its cold and unapproachable. Just because you work in a hot downtown location doesn\'t me you get to be a boor to your guests. \n\nThe major saving graces to M&P are the food and the cocktails. The food is killer. My go to favorites are the fried chicken livers (trust me) and the signature Meat and Potatoes for Two (I don\'t share. Fat guy remember?). Steaks always come out hot and perfectly cooked, but rested enough so they don\'t bleed out all over your plate. The bar is stellar too. They seem to trend toward updates on classic prohibition era cocktail is but they are done well. The drinks are very well balanced and tasty. Too easy to have too many tipples here. \n\nTo wrap up I like M&P. it\'s pricey but I the k it is worth it. The major issues I have with the place stems from their pretentiousness. They label themselves a "gastropub" which to me is entirely redundant. The word supposedly means a bar with great food. Ok you just described a "pub". The attitude follows with the decor and the attitude of the workers. It\'s like meeting this great girl at last call and in the morning you find out she is kinda bitchy. But she\'s definitely hot enough to call again. I\'ve heard nothing but great things about this place and I was so excited to go. I think I even made up a song about how excited I was to go. Once I got there I was not disappointed. The decor wasn\'t quite what I expected, but not bad. The food was great. We started with the kobe corn dog and fried brussel sprouts. The corn dog wasn\'t really better than the best corn dog I\'ve had before in my life but the fried brussel sprouts were something new and delicious. They were crispy on the outside but still juicy on the inside. My boyfriend got the pot roast and I got he pastrami crusted duck. His pot roast was good, but I had to protect my duck from him after he tried a bite. I have never tasted anything like it. The combination of flavors made you keep searching for more. It was rich without being too rich and the saurkraut pierogis that came with it was a great balance to the duck. I highly reccomend this place to anyone who enjoys classic food in a way that you\'ve never experienced it before.\n\nI ordered some of their specialty drinks, two that were gin based. I can\'t recall their names now but they were not my favorite thing on the menu. Dessert was a "pot de creme" which was the perfect amount of sweetness after my meal. Came here randomly with some friends one night. Make reservations because we didn't. We sat outside in order to get a table in a timely manner. Our waitress was not very attentive, to the point were we eventually asked the hostess to get us some drinks because our waitress literally never came back to the table other than to hand us the check. My food was mediocre at best. My boyfriend got a burger that he found quite good. Overall experience was still pleasant considering. I doubt I would rush to go back though. I REALLY wanted to like this place. It was an awful experience from start to finish. The food was eh. Service was eh. It took our food over an hour to come out from the kitchen. Totally unimpressed and I won't be back.

im not a dumpling connoiseur but here is my take:\n\n- super high quality ingredients (relative to good chinese places)\n- very delicious\n- felt special\n- very very very very very good Very limited choices, and very small menu. Only 5 tables, tiny little space. The green onion pancake was very oily and very salty. The firey wontons are in a very hot spicy peanut butter based sauce. They could do with more flavor and less heat Deep fried eggplant - neither of us could eat it. Huge clumps of dough surrounding mushy eggplamt. The beef pancake - was just okay, lots of oily dough and large pieces of coriander, not much meat. The shrimp and pork soup dumplings were pleasant but frankly I don't see why people rave over with them. They were okay. Getting back to the 401 was a nightmare of driving through Toronto city streets as the Don V was closed. If you aren't in the immediate neighbourhood, believe me, this is not worth the drive! Another Yelp disappointment for us. Parking is almost non existent. I wish we had tried the beef noodle soup but doubt it could compare to the Sogo anyway. Don't eat here...\nDon't eat here if you're a regular yelper.\nDon't eat here if you're a 'foodie'\nDon't eat here if you're gonna breakdown the menu and how its 'Not Dim Sum'\nDon't eat here if you're reading this for the comments.\nDon't eat here if you're gonna tell a friend about the Chinese joint in Greektown.\nBut.. Eat here..\n.. To stuff your face,\n .. To out your phone down and enjoy a meal\n.. Lastly enjoy the same type of meal I had.. \nMe and my friends ordered everything!! Here for lunch with the family hoping to find something closer than hwy 7.\n\nSpicy beef noodles were good. Noodles tasted good...the texture was soft...homemade? Beef was nicer cuts than other places we have tried. \n\nGreen onion pancake was too doughy and not enough onions.\n\nPancake roll with beef was great...light, fresh...\n\nDumplings were good...both steamed and pan fried.\n\nOverall a nice lunch.. \n\nI would leave a pot of tea for the guests as those tea cups are like any Chinese tea cups...small. and I can see at busier times hard to keep up refilling. Just stopped in to get some dim sum... Asked for the menu and was told they only serve dumplings and no other dim sum. That is not dim sum. Don't name yourself a dim sum restaurant and not serve dim sum. I'm so greatly disappointed

Great place for sushi. The service is warm and goes at the right pace.\n\nMeals all seem to come with a chap chae and pancake appetizer that aren't announced on the menu. The fish, unlike at other sushi places, is served in a nice size and at the right temperature. A few staple Korean dishes on the menu are excellent.\n\nAs another reviewer mentioned, the lunch special (which has always been the same chicken teriyaki and california roll every time I've been), brings lunch in under $10 and definitely does the trick of filling you up. Food is reasonable/you get what you pay for. I went to the other 2 ichiban south down the street. They both were kind of bad. That's why I have never thought about trying this one until I saw the review from yelp. This little sushi place is a bit smaller than the other 2 but it is very cozy. It has LOTS of parking spots outside, which is very convenient. \n\nWe ordered the ocean rolls(tuna, salmon, avocado, fish eggs and fried shrimp) and red dragon (the one with salmon, avocado, and fried shrimp). Yum yumm!! The fish tasted so fresh, the size was decent for the price. Around 11 bucks for the rolls. \n\nService was excellent and it has very comfortable seating. Definitely will go back! I came here on New Year's Eve for a last minute order of a large sushi combo platter. It came to $90. Sometime between 2pm and 10pm, we were able to eat it all between two of us.\n\nWe had sashimi, sushi and maki rolls. The fish was fresh and it was definitely a good way to spend NYE at home! The Toronto Lover system:\n5 stars = Must visit!\n4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here.\n3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go.\n2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary.\n1 star = Do not visit!\n\n\nThis is a good sushi place with a get-down-to-business atmosphere. They do a great job of filling take out orders, and the hostess is usually extremely attendant and happy to serve you.\n\nThe sushi is very reasonably priced, and tastes fresh. Overall, you'll have a satisfying sushi experience and you won't pay too much if you order smartly.\n\n3 stars Amazing service. They make you feel so welcome here!! I ordered take-out and they gave me tea while I was waiting.\n\nOrdered the Toronto roll (crabmeat, spicy salmon, yam tempura, avocado I think) and Unagi Maki roll (bbq eel). Both rolls together were a little over $20. The rolls were yummy yummy. They definitely don't skimp on the filling! The layer of rice on the outside of the roll is thin, and the sesame seeds add a nice chew.

I know its mall food but its still delicious. The bourbon chicken and BBQ chicken are awesome. The jumbolia rice is a bit tame, but i would suppose thats so you can please thier core customers. The portions here are large so show up hungry. I also had their fried potatoes with this visit, and they were good. Now eating in a mall food court may not be the ideal ambiance but when you are hungry and on the run, this place is an excellent choice for a decent meal. I went to Bourbon while at the mall to grab a quick bit. The food was altogether ok. The vegetables were a little too firm for the fork to pick up, causing the tongs to bend and nearly snap. The bourbon chicken tasted okay but felt a little rubbery. Since I don't eat rice or noodles I asked to substitute mango salad and they allowed me to which was nice. Very busy though. This is a good location in square one mall and every time I go it's busy and long line up but that's ok and the stuff are always nice and they greet up and ask what combo you want I say 2 and every thing is fresh and if they are out of same thing I wait for a few mins and bring food and you need to try the spicy rice and sesame beef it's so good and the have a few type of different shrimp faves and try the smash potato too !! \n\nHope everyone try this place when you visit Sq one mall :) Me and my cousin were just shopping in the mall and decided to get something to eat. I've tried Bourbon from Vaughan Mills, and if I compare them to this location it lacks variety. I ordered a plate with two chicken options and with noodles. The food was good but some pieces of the chicken tasted weird. Like if it wasn't cooked all the way. Since I was hungry we just ate the food and the parts I didn't like I ended up throwing away. The service was fast, even with a line up. I think the portions of the food are good, but the price doesn't do justice for the portion you get. The staff is a little pushy when it comes to ordering and when it comes to paying. After I had finished paying, before I could even pick up my drink and ask her to pass me the food she just started helping the next person. After when I did get my food and ask for a bag she just tossed it at me. Customer service at this location is horrible. Food experience was absolutely terrible. Ordered Combo #1: Veg fried rice with bourbon chicken and green beans for $6.99 plus tax.\n\nFor starters, the portion was ridiculously small for seven dollars. Lady at the cashier would only give us two packets of hot sauce. Seeing it was Thanksgiving Day (time and a half for employees) trying to save food much? Worst part was the rice being undercooked. Two cups water, one cup rice. Not hard guys, customers don't enjoy crunchy rice. Won't be coming back.

Charmant petit caf\xc3\xa9!\nApr\xc3\xa8s \xc3\xaatre pass\xc3\xa9e plusieurs fois devant sans m'y arr\xc3\xaater, j'ai d\xc3\xa9cid\xc3\xa9 d'aller au caf\xc3\xa9 Mariani pour le brunch avec mon copain. Je n'avais entendu que de bons commentaires sur l'endroit alors j'avais assez h\xc3\xa2te d'y aller et j'avais \xc3\xa9galement quelques attentes. \n\nJe dois dire que j'ai \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 un peu d\xc3\xa9\xc3\xa7ue lorsque j'y suis entr\xc3\xa9e. L'attitude de la serveuse \xc3\xa9tait totalement d\xc3\xa9testable. Aucun sourire, b\xc3\xaate comme ses pieds... \xc3\x87a commen\xc3\xa7ait mal! Par contre, d\xc3\xa8s que nous nous sommes install\xc3\xa9s \xc3\xa0 une table, son attitude a l\xc3\xa9g\xc3\xa8rement chang\xc3\xa9. Elle ne nous a pas offert un excellent service, mais bon... Disons que c'\xc3\xa9tait passable. L'ambiance du restaurant \xc3\xa9tait tr\xc3\xa8s chouette, je n'y serais p-e pas rest\xc3\xa9e des heures \xc3\xa0 lire vu que c'\xc3\xa9tait assez bruyant (l'heure du brunch quand m\xc3\xaame), mais j'ose croire qu'en semaine c'est plus tranquille et id\xc3\xa9al pour lire ou \xc3\xa9tudier calmement. \n\nPassons \xc3\xa0 la nourriture...Mon omelette \xc3\xa9tait vraiment excellente et bien cuite. Elle \xc3\xa9tait remplie de bons l\xc3\xa9gumes, miam! Mon assiette \xc3\xa9tait si charg\xc3\xa9e, je n'en ai mang\xc3\xa9 que le quart, mais j'aurais aim\xc3\xa9 l'engloutir en entier tellement c'\xc3\xa9tait bon. Mon latt\xc3\xa9 \xc3\xa9tait aussi excellent! Mon copain, n'a malheureusement pas tellement aim\xc3\xa9 son assiette de gauffre et jambon \xc3\xa0 la bi\xc3\xa8re. Il ne l'a trouv\xc3\xa9 que correcte, sans plus. J'ai pris quelques petites bouch\xc3\xa9es du jambon et j'avoue l'avoir ador\xc3\xa9! Comme quoi tous nos go\xc3\xbbt sont diff\xc3\xa9rents!\n\nJ'y retournerai certainement pour go\xc3\xbbter \xc3\xa0 un autre plat! I was hoping I would like this place. But I'm not sure what to make of my visit there today. I ordered Huevos Rancheros. First of all they ran out of breakfast potatoes, and then my egg yolks were cooked all the way through. I found the dish to be very bland.\n\nOther than that the place is very nice. I enjoyed the atmosphere. I will try it again. Came here for brunch and really loved it. Sat on the patio which was nice. I like the look of this place as others have commented. My food was great, and so was everyone's I ate with. My chai latte was a bit bland but still okay. I just had a brunch at this place this morning. My husband had the cassoulet and was very happy with it; hot until the end, very good portion, have everything he likes- potato, egg, mushroom, bacon... I had the breakfast burrito. It was very good - anything has Mexican name, I usually avoid it in Montreal but it was surprisingly good. I might try Huevos Rancheros next time :) \n\n Good brunch choices, fast service, nice take-out box, good coffee, decent hot chocolate, and close to my apt. My husband and I will go back definitely to try other food. This might be it for our brunch spot! On a recommendation from a friend from St Henri, I tried this place on a Saturday morning around 10.45. It was the right time to arrive as it filled up shortly after and there was a line-up thereafter.\n\nI loved the hip decor: two tone wood tables, walls clad in recovered wood "tiles" - it had a very European feel to it.\n\nThe menu had exactly the right amount of choice on it, from the more elaborate (cassoulet, burrito, huevos rancheros etc) to the more traditional (2 eggs + sausage + beer ham and various combinations thereof), at reasonable prices. We had huevos rancheros twice - one with fried eggs, one with scrambled - the special of waffles with strawberries and chantilly cream, and a vegetarian omelette. We drank the filter coffee, two of the selection of David\'s Teas, and an apple juice which was the fresh, cloudy kind but golden yellow instead of the usual brown. Everything was good - the eggs were fluffy, the toast was perfectly grilled, the potatoes were crispy on the outside. The tea came in a big cup so you get a decent thirst-quenching quantity!\n\nThe service was well timed and friendly, and perfectly bilingual.\n\nNext time, I\'ll get there earlier because I\'d have liked to sit on the terrasse, which overlooks the park.

the food is amazing and homemade, which is my favorite.....i would advise going early it tends to get busy early and the wait can get frustrating, but I would wait for the quality because its homeade....luv comming here! portions are very generous! we've had chicken parm which was excellent. enough for a meal and plenty leftover. homemade raviolis were good. dinners come with salad and fresh cellone's bread. t also tried the breaded porkchops-- biggest chops you will ever see and sooo tender. staff is friendly, seem to have a lot of regular customers who knew the staff. will return to try breaded fish and one of the entree salads. saw both being served and they looked great! food was amazing, best italian food ever!! service was great, waited long for food but it was a friday night, so expected to wait....plan on going back many times!!! all the food is great! This little neighborhood restaurant and bar is great. Apparently the Oasis Pasta House was the origin of the menu but closed and has now reopened a location in Carnegie. The prices are fair for the portion offered, which are quite substantial. Our table ordered the fried provolone app which was the highlight of the meal. Two half inch thick wheels of breaded, fried melting goodness and a small bowl of their delicious tomato sauce. Our entrees were linguini with white clam sauce which was just fine. Lots of great clams and a buttery sauce that had good consistency but could have used more acid (lemon or white wine) but as I said it was fine and I would recommend it. My wife got the house made ravioli and was sold when informed that the tough decision of either cheese or meat would not have to be made and the kitchen would gladly do the order 50/50. I didn't think they were great but my wife enjoyed them. I also tried the wedding soup which was extremely hearty, almost seemed to have a beef broth instead of chicken. Good balance and again I would recommend it. The ranch dressing is housemade and delicious. The bread is Cellones sliced italian which was fresh. An older relative of the owners came over to join us for a short time and offered some entertainment for our toddler which was a nice surprise. All in all for 45 bucks plus the 10 buck tip for the perfect service we had a great meal, met a new friend and helped support a local business that is doing a good job. We were introduced to this place a few years ago by friends that knew the owners and have been back several times since. All in all it's a great spot for homemade Italian food, including the spaghetti. You'll definitely want to be sure that you request the 'homemade spaghetti' for your meal.\n\nI usually try to keep things on the healthier side, so I normally ask for the Chicken Parmesan to be made with grilled chicken and 'light on the cheese.' With the portion sizes they give you, it's definitely a good move. Once, when I was feeling more adventurous, I tried the Fish Parmesan and it was a delicious plate of fried goodness. Also, if you go with a Parmesan dish, be sure to add a meatball or two (and if meatballs aren't on your must have list, the sausage isn't bad).\n\nTheir homemade Italian dressing was also a plus on my list, although the tomatoes on that salad were not.\n\nFinally, they do have a bar, but use to be BYOB. It's been awhile since I've tried to bring in a bottle of wine, but even with their bar, they were very cool about letting the BYOB thing go (I'd just call and double check before you bring your own next time).\n\nFinally, while I'm a bit new to this yelp thing, I thought an interesting take on my reviews would be to add a note about coffee. I have loved coffee since I was a kid and probably spent too much time learning too much about it when I worked at Starbucks in college. Anyway, long story short it's hard to find a good cup of coffee in a restaurant, especially a mom & pop shop, so if I have a good cup at a place like this, awesome...if not, I'm not going to hold it against them. Most people aren't drinking coffee and my standards are a bit high....but if you do love coffee for dessert, wait to drive by a Starbucks on your way home...other than that, definitely try out the LO!

Good broth, tastes home-y, can tell there is less msg than other places and has a deep bone flavour. Noodles are fresh and not bloated. Meat is fresh and from good cuts. My only regret is that the portions smaller than Im used to at the pho places around north york and they dont have spicy pickled peppers.\n\nwe had lamb, chicken skin, and chicken 'tail' skewers. would recommend the butts- er tails. Skins are good too. tastes like charcoal honey garlic and its crispy. a bit oily but thats expected.\n\nhad green tea cheesecake freshly baked. good texture and strong matcha flavour. good portion of eggs.\n\nthe lady that served us was nice and had good small talk. \n\nthe end I had pho, spring rolls and skewers. \n\nI like how the pho is highly customizable. You can select which greens to be included (eg. onions, Coriander etc) and which meats. The selection of meat is large.\n\nHowever the portion is quite small. The chicken skin skewer was grilled for too long that it got too tough to chew. The last time I came I thought it had shut down but they are definately open for business. They still serve the best quality bowl of pho you will ever eat. I ordered the rare beef and tripe noodle. The rare beef is so soft and tender it just melts in your mouth. The tripe is of the same quality. The soup is so rich in flavour. Just love it. I've been to so many pho places from downtown Toronto to newmarket and this is my favourite pho place of all time. You have to try their broth before putting all your faves in! It is sooooo delicious on it's own! The waitress was super nice and we basically took every suggestion because she was so persuasive! The menu was definitely not like any menu I have seen before, you can choose your own combos and meats! Other places either have all or no substitutions but this place lets you create the perfect pho that you want. The dumplings that she suggested was amazing! So yummy and I believe they are made in house! Next time, will try the cheese cake when we are not full! Dropped by during the summer for a meal with a friend. The place was recommended and said to have really good pho and food. But I honestly found the food to be lacking in flavour and quality. Sure, the place was very clean as other yelp reviews have stated. The service was good but not too noticeable. The layout was quite small with only 2-3 larger table and 4-5 smaller ones but it wasn't too busy when we went. However, there was one small family with 2 young and very loud children that kind of ruined the quiet ambiance of a small place like this. Why don't some parents ever control or discipline their screaming and rambunctious children, especially in public? \n\nThis place had combo options but my friend and I were just looking for the pho bowls and wanted to get an after meal drink elsewhere. We both ordered the same thing - house special rare beef pho. The noodles were good and beef was a bit too chewy but alright. It was the both that lacked sufficient favour - it was way too lightly seasoned. For a pho bowl to be perfect - all three things (noodles, meat and both) must be cooked and seasoned properly. Maybe on the one day my friend and I went in, they were having an off day and bungled the broth? Who knows why the broth was such a miss...\n\nIt was also a bit pricey for one regular pho bowl. It came to about $11 total. For that price, I could go to other pho places and get a large pho and a drink, like a milkshake or coffee. Maybe I just had higher expectations after hearing such good things about the place... the actual experience fell short, by quite a lot.

It\'s a decent place to have a few drinks. The waitresses are attractive and the bar has a pretty cool layout. The irish theme stops with the plaid on the mini skirts of the servers. The food is not particulary good, but it\'s bar food, so what do I expect, right? \n\nUnfortunately "it\'s OK" is the best I can say about this place and the only reason I rate it that high is because I REALLY like boobies. ok, so even as a chic, I like this place. food is not bad (not great either), but the staff are great. great beers, specials and did I mention the outfits?? I need one of those... I think I ate more of my husband's garlic fries than he did, and my sweet potato fries with the cayenne ranch were so delish! It was very crowded due to some sporting event, but the service was pretty fast & they kept up on our drinks. I've heard that it depends on the night, but my burger was absolutely flavorless, blah, nothing special and I will probably never eat a burger there again. What's dumb, is that it looked mouth-watering, just tasted like nothing. Great place to eat and watch the UFC fights. There is a $5 cover, but that thins the crowd of the cheap people, which is great. The food is great, friendly servers ( kind of ) and once again, great place to watch UFC. If you are an MMA fan, come here so you can watch. Not a lot of people and really fun! Decent food here but come on, is it really the food you come here for? I like coming here when I have my irish cravings and need a good ol glass of guiness.

I live around the neighborhood and my family loves sonic. Me on the other hand not so much, every time I come to this establishment I am always having to return as my order is NEVER correct. Simple instructions are very hard to understand and when they mess up You Would Expect Some Concern Or Desert But Receive none. The employees never have a clue about what car oder what, who ordered what and what the order was... ordered a cherry limeade slush no lime... drink came I asked does it have lime she said no. Tasted it and it had lime, I asked for no lime lady tells me she thought I ment no lime peel ... ??? For my bad service I asked for a strawberry shortcake smoothy and was told can't do it due to the price difference. I explained my past service and she reconsidered and came back with a mini lmao I ordered a medium drink and was bought a mini how is that great service. But also for my trouble I was given a free ice cream cone coupon !!! Hilarious that I'm the third Californian to review this Sonic's. As it were, there just aren't any here for us to go to! \n\nWhile I've been the ONE i've found in SoCal (Anaheim), this one was quicker and had twice as many places to park. It also had a drive-up one... well, it seemed like a normal drive in. People left instead of eating in their cars. Anyways, you guys all know how it works. Push the magical red button, order to your hearts content (GET A CHERRY LIMEADE!), and anxiously await. There are no skates, though there was a guy who had a tray of extra napkins, ketchup, etc who walked around. Nice touch Scottsdale.\n\nI always get a hamburger with mayo. I was drunk the first time I had it and thought it was the best thing I had ever eaten. Now that I've eaten it while sober, I still think it's pretty damn good. I am a fan, as far as the fast food industry goes. I am not usually a big fast food eater. But i was with a mom and 3 kids at the time. Tater tots, yummmm!! I am huge burger girl and will say they were pretty good. I like the convince of this place. \nPull up, order, swipe ur card and the bring the food to your car! \nWatching and hoping they dont fall in their roller skates with the food! haha, I was so hungry! \nI think I will be back next time in AZ :) I've been here twice so far and have had great service and fantastic food! \n\nI love the ambience of SONIC...it reminds me of the old drive-ins on Happy Days. It brings that feel-good vibe, along with good times, great food, awesome friends, cruising, and listening to the tunes. What a cool way to buy fast food during a heatwave, late at night in your jammies, or any time.\n\nDaughter was hungry for a Sonic burger#1. \n\nSpotted a Sonic sign ahead. We pulled into the parking lot of a fast food joint. Colorful 3' x 4' screens separated each parking space on the driver's side. \n\nI immediately recognized the old car hop vibe. Pulled into an empty space. Kept the engine running and air condition blasting. The screen turned out to be the menu, speaker, and ATM all in one. WHAT?!?!?! How innovative.\n\nScanned the menu for items I wanted to order.\n\nPressed the speaker button to alert the assistant inside that I was ready to order. A very pleasant, disembodied voice took my order, then said she'd be out in a few with my order. Ok, let's see how fast . . . \n\nIn the meantime I inserted my credit card to finalize the transaction. Receipt rolled out.\n\nAs promised, within minutes a sweet young lady arrived balancing a red tray loaded with 2 paper bags and a couple of drinks. She confirmed my order according to the receipt printed out on her side, then she handed over my booty.\n\nHanded her a tip and I was on my way with a Sonic burger & fries, classic hot dog with the works, condiments, a limeade and a blue coconut slush and 2 peppermint candies. Yaowzaaaaa!\n\nNo Sonic anywhere near where I live, but when they show up I'll be one of the first in line. Love their vibe.\n\nhttp://www.sonicdrivein.com/

The pizza I ordered was dry, bland and had the consistency of cardboard. There are way better places for pizza out there. Even Pizza Pizza is better! Our waitress told us this would be the best pizza we every had and she was right! \nModified the mushroom pizza. Delicious Blown away! \n\nThe pizza is absolutely amazing!! Best pizza I have had in Toronto and I've tried all the greats, that's not to take away from Brooklyn and the others it's just that this place is extremely delicious!! Really delicious pizza. I had the chicken pizza with the carbon dough. The rapini was good too. The only thing I didn\'t like was the excessive visits and interruptions by service staff asking if we were doing ok. A bit too much for a "take-out" style place. I will still go back for the delicious pizza. A new restaurant we chanced to stop at lunch at today. Masseria has a open-kitchen which allows you to see your food being prepared. I had a delicious tuna panini and a side grain salad mixed with vegetables. Barbara had a balsamic-dressed salad. Too delicious -- and executive chef, Rob Leclair stopping by to check on how we liked our food. I'm already to thinking about going back

Sen of Japan is gem of a find for this L.A. sushi addict transplant... amazing, creative, and joyfully delicious! \n\nSo sorry for being long and wordy here ;-P The sushi is consistently fresh! Chef is always welcoming and glad to serve you! Sen of Japan, I'm in love with you! I'm never disappointed with my dinner and every time I try something new I love it. The servers are amazing and are very knowledgable when it comes to making food and sake suggestions. \nI've done the omakase a few times, and let me tell you, DELICIOUS! The fish here is pretty damn fresh, the best sushi you can get off the strip. They definitely know what they are doing here. Friends and I decided to try this place after reading all the great reviews. It seemed to be just what we were looking for - "Strip" sushi without the hefty price tag. We stopped in on a Sunday night, only a few other groups dining so we were seated right away. We started with some edamame and the yellowtail appetizer, which was recommended by our server and was fantastic. The rest of the meal, though, was pretty underwhelming. We ordered a bunch of sushi rolls to share, so I can\'t speak in regards to any of their other entrees, and while they were all good, they weren\'t anything special. Perhaps my expectations were set high from all the great reviews, and its disappointing that I can\'t give it a great review as well, but I (and the rest of my party agreed) was not too impressed. Service was good though, only mishap was one forgotten roll that we had to remind our server about. My favorite thing is the black cod butter lettuce topped with butter pastry kataifi. The owner used to work at Nobu hardrock. It's no wonder that there are many signature dishes that taste and look similar to Nobu. There are small ingredients that are different but overall it tastes delicious for half the price. They also have an awesome happy hour menu making my black cod lettuce wraps only $2 a piece! woop woop! Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. I will definitely come back anytime for my expensive cravings for Nobu. I love that I can get my salmon carpaccio, my rock shrimp tempura with orange ponzu, black cod butter lettuce, a few sushi rolls, and last but not least my chocolate souffl\xc3\xa9 with green tea or sub vanilla bean ice cream bento box! yummy! give me more

So I came here on high recommendation. Food was about right for the atmosphere and reputation. Service was not. Very impersonal and rushed. I was handed the check before service was even complete. It wasn't overly busy on my visit. I will rate the two stars because of the atmosphere and food charm. But the place needs a reset on focus on experience and less focus on how fast they can turn tables. Unfortunate, but I won't be back. $30 a person for dinner is a small ask for experience. Not asking for much, just some decency. We really enjoy this place. It is old school the food is heavy and comes out in large portions.the accordion player played all the Sinatra/Martin songs we could throw at him while we were waiting at the bar for our table. I enjoyed my veal parma very much. I am only giving 4 stars as yes like some other reviewers I agree the place does need a little overhaul. I would not change anything but I would clean up a bit perhaps dust repaint some parts but still keep all the history. Omg! This restaurant is amazing! It is a little on the pricey side but it is totally worth every penny! Plus you can never go wrong with all you can drink red and white wine. I tried the shrimp Alfredo, lasagna, spaghetti, as well as their salad with salami. It was soo delicious. If you are in Vegas you must try this! Food isn't over spectacular but it was good enough to get the job done; fill me up. I've had better italian elsewhere but I don't expect much from Vegas restaurants. Then again, this is an old school joint so maybe it should be better. With that said I would come again for the comfort. If you want to find a little piece of heaven just go to Battistas Hole in the wall. When you first arrive you will most likely notice the decorations. It reminded us of almost an Old Italian mob scene. It was all so interesting to look at and entertaining! I have never been to a restaurant that I found it entertaining just to look at the walls and ceiling. Old black and white pictures covered the walls and they hung pots, pans, and baskets to the ceiling, which I felt gave it a very Italian feeling. \n\nNow the food; AMAZING. Seriously, I don\'t think I can ever, I mean ever, eat at another Italian restaurant again. First we were offered breadsticks, salad, and soup. The garlic breadstick, to die for! I have never tasted bread that has tasted so delicious; I practically filled up on those before I could even order. For the main course I ordered cheese raviolis. Those where also the best I have ever had. The cheese literally melted in your mouth like butter. I couldn\'t stop my self from eating! My boyfriend got the eggplant Parmesan. Now that is some good food. I highly recommend that. It is now my favorite dish out of all the restaurants we go too. Its that kind of amazingly perfect good taste that can\'t be described.\n\nAfter we ate we thought we would go out for desert. That didn\'t happen though! They brought out delicious cappuccinos. (They are apart of the dinner course so you are not charged for them) They were better then any hot chocolate/coffee/cappuccino I have ever had from anywhere else. It was the perfect amount of sweet and even though I was stuffed I drank the whole cup! (Which is a decent size)\n\nNow I am really ready to go, but wait! It was my birthday and my boyfriend had surprised them and told them when he called for the reservations. They brought out a small piece of cake. AMAZING, AGAIN! It blows my mind that every course of this meal was spot on. It seemed like it was a moist sponge cake with delicious cream on top. I could have eaten like 10 of those.\n\nThe environment was also wonderful. I forget that on the strip people just want to have a good time. So even though we felt like the guests sat to close it was actually worth it. We joked with them and had such a good time. Our waitress was so sweet. I really felt like she took excellent care of us.\n\n\nNow there are two reasons way I did not give this a 5 star. The location is the first. I would have never even known it was there. It is literally a hole in the wall. The area isn\'t the nicest but I am always paranoid about that.\n\nThe second reason was the "lives music". This man would walk table to table and plan a small 2-second snip of a song (of his choosing) and then ask YOU for a tip. I thought it was rude because we didn\'t ask him to come over so being forced to tip after was a little uncomfortable. I couldn\'t hear him sing over his accordion so I didn\'t get to enjoy it anyway. We only had a five so when my boyfriend asked for change back he acted like he didn\'t hear him and walked away. When he made his second round he made sure not to stop at our table (even though 5 dollars was probably his best tip of the night)\n\nOver all I say GO! We defiantly will be!

Make sure you come when Tina is cooking! She might be the best short order cook in Vegas! Perfectly crafted breakfast, delicious, fast and creative! She'll make whatever you want! They've created a repeat customer here, for sure! Kathy made sure I was accommodated because they were out of what I originally planned to order. Exceptional service. Delicious food. Will be back ASAP ! I'm trying to understand why this place is always short staffed in the morning? Like come on you guys have that $1.49 special what do you expect? No traffic? The food is good the wait just to get someone to take your order is soooo long. one of the best breakfast values in the Vegas area. I ordered the steak (medium) and eggs (sunny side up) with hash browns and toast for $5.99. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the steak was tasty, seared nicely and not an ounce of gristle or fat. I stayed at the Sunset Station Casino Hotel and Sarah\'s is about 10 minute drive...well worth the time (much better than the "Feast" buffet garbage food). Cheap and Slow, food is good for the price. A bit slow getting around to you after you get seated. Been in twice for breakfast and we both ate for way under 12.00 wit a 5.00 tip. Just good cheap breakfast fare.

I stopped in for business puposes and was greeted by friendly staff. Choosing to wait for the owner Antoine, I was offered not only water but samples. There were some senior ladies enjoying their lunch and striking up conversation they said they "always enjoy eating at IBBY\'S!" I received my sample of peach cobbler which was divine, reminded me of what came from my Grandmother\'s oven. And the crust, perfection! Then a wing, as I enjoyed the music and was happy about its conversation conscious volume. Did I look hungry, a taste of fish although it was not my fav, catfish it was good too! All in all, Ibby\'s on the fly was a memorable tasting experience and I will be rolling in with :throwin down" as my purpose. \nThank you Lisa and the other staff for your customer service and Antoine, has a great team and amazing food. Great little place! Very clean and the owners are very friendly! The food was great too. I had been looking for a great home cooked seafood dinner in my area and this fits the bill perfectly. I had collard greens and fries along with my fried catfish and shrimp and topped it off with the sweet potato pie! Everything was great. I'll be back. Nice people serving tasty comfort food.\n\nThree of us shared fried chicken and whitefish. Key word is fried. If you are looking for health food, keep looking.\n\nHowever, the batter and seasoning on both the fish and chicken were delightful. The chicken was tender and juicy, the fish was light and flaky.\n\nSides were mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes greens. All were good, much like home cooking by someone who knows how to cook.\n\nGirl that took our orders was friendly and pleasant throughout the meal.\n\nIf you like this sort of food, Ibbys does it well. Sooooooooo GOOD! Authentic , delicious, and good prices! It's the best food I have had yet, in Arizona. The red beans and rice was perfect! The catfish and shrimp were fresh cooked. No heat lamps in this place. Home cooked deliciousness! Found this place on yelp while my wife was shopping. Got the special which pretty much included all meat options on the menu. Everything was perfect, great seasoning to the breading and it was light and not overwhelming. I'm not from the south but based on the Louisiana hot sauce on all the tables I would say it's a safe bet this is meant to be a southern fried kinda place. Mashed potatoes came with gravy that had sweet onions on the top, I ate two sides of them if that tells you how good they were. Missed the last sweet potato pie for my wife, other than that I'd say this joint is a must visit if you are a lover of fried chicken and fish!

Great food and service. I've never had a complaint with long johns. It's a combo restaurant with KFC, so it appears as if long johns is like an appetizer menu. I always go with the fish and fries. I used to be able to eat fish, fries, chicken, shrimp, slaw, hush puppies and clams. They do not accept LJS coupons. \nPart of a hybrid with KFC so no LJS fries just potato wedges. \n\nThe offer lemonade options with flavors added. \n\nlol, Well I guess I should have paid attention to the other reviewers because they have pretty much said 'EXACTLY what it is' I don't like to rant and rave about bad experiences. It is hard to be calm and understanding when it takes 20+ minutes to get your food at a fast food establishment. It is also not comforting when you ask for your money back and the general manager doesn't apologize or ask for a reason why I wanted my money back. I understand it is fast food but a little pride and professionalism goes a long way no matter what your job is. First, this location is a dual KFC/LJS so you don't the full menu and you should count yourself lucky if you don't get food poisoning after eating. What I got though was some fish that looked good but tasted odd, I can't place what the taste was other possibly some chemical added to the batter. Hushpuppies and slaw was good, service wasn't bad either but when you got to a fish place (even a fast food fish place) you expect decent food. They said they observe Veteran.s Day free meal, but required a coupon with a unique number. The coupon I received in my e-mail showed no such number and stated no coupon required. What a dumb store with an equally dumb manager.

We came here once for the hibachi. Steak and shrimp...yum! And had a pretty amazing experience. While we were waiting we ordered sushi, specifically the kanji roll. It was AMAZING. We knew we had to go back and try all the sushi. Which we did. Holy cow. Taste my Ex Girlfriend is probably the best sushi roll I ever had. We also did the hulk, the vampire, and a couple other rolls I forgot. Even though they have a limited selection of specialty rolls, each one was handcrafted perfectly. This has officially become our new favorite sushi spot. On top of it all, we went during happy hour where all sushi rolls are 30% off, so the bill didn't even break $50 for 6 rolls. Much cheaper than AYCE sushi we usually get. Love this place! So good, just got takeout and it was fresh and only took around 10 minutes. Good price and large portions! Will defiantly be back!! Great place! Everyone was friendly and the 'taste my ex girlfriend' roll was really good! I would definitely recommend this place! This place is awesome! The staff is very friendly and the sushi is the best I've ever had! If you're on west side of town this place is a must visit! You WILL come back Love Kanji! We have their sushi once a week. The Kanji and Taste My Ex Girlfriend rolls are so yummy. The ingredients are very fresh and we have never been let down by any of their rolls. We usually order togo, but the ambiance is very nice if you eat inside and the service is great. You won't be disappointed!

Dimsum from open to close!! This is my favourite Chinese restaurant, I've been here countless times for lunch and even 2 am runs. This place is usually busy when dinner comes around, but service is fast otherwise. Everyone should read my review, because I'm the one to give the most honest reviews\n\nCmon U&Me is now 24/7, that means the food they prepare and cook is most likely to be frozen, I came in one night with two buddies of mine.\n\nOne thing I noticed about Chinese staff, I believe most of them are immigrants that come from China and are not legal citizens to work in Canada, most of them are paid below the average minimum wage, and in restaurants such as these dim sum links, most staff don't even receive tips. (Don't ask how I know, but I'll keep it confidential.)\n\nThese people serve you their food and sit around at the front watching you eat, they always got something to say especially if they think you don't know Chinese, they gossip about everyone that is eating and have very rude manners, it's annoying and it's not good for the western business, maybe it's good for the local\nChinese, but not for others.\n\nFood is frozen for sure, ordered their Sui Mai, a Chinese delicacy. Took a bite in the middle, it was cold. I honestly, don't get what people rave on about this place besides the fact they are 24/7. If I would rate this restaurant out of 5 it would be a 1, but the restaurant is opened 24/7 and I'll be giving it a 2 for that. But U&Me isn't gonna be my first option when I'm craving food at night, or dim sum in the day. Breakfast dim sum here. Decor very modest and old time. Service good with few customers on weekday. Dim sum good to very good. Congee mixed meat excellent with good flavor. We stopped by for to go order. The place is big inside. Clean and bright. We were there after lunch hour, thus it was't crowded at all. The host is friendly and helped us with the order. The food is above average. May be 8 out of 10. It is a typical Chinese ( perhaps Cantonese ) food, great flavor and have good varieties.\nDefinitely will be back again when we are in the area. Been here a few times service is okay wouldn't be the best, but also not the worst. \nWhat i don't like is how they told me a few times its cash only and i remember one time i actually went to my bank and get cash....... Other wise its a nice place for late dinners.

5 stars isn't enough. Exclusive. So exclusive.\n\nMy bro danced all night! He was dancing so hard it was unbelievable! I've never seen him dance like that! He just kept going and going and going. It was a surreal experience. By far the best place to go in Pittsburgh, The atmosphere is amazing and the staff/ownership is great. A true gem here in Pittsburgh nightlife. Such a wack ass club. The dress code is a joke . The manager Lee won't give me my Id back I've traveled around to most major cities and experienced the best nightclubs around! Cavo delivers quality service and an amazing atmosphere. Definitely in my top 5 places to celebrate. A Pittsburgh nightlife gem! Alright night club, still enjoyed it because I'm fun, but my other friends didn't.\n\nWe got bottle service and requested for a table near the dance floor, but for some reason we was put ALLLL the way in the back. So I'm pretty sure they sold our table? \n\nWe got all of our drinks, our soda was flat and warm. And we requested for new ones twice, but we gave up because it wasn't happening.

First time here...under whelmed. Ordered (took a long time..no one was in the place) Steak tostados...three tiny tortilla the size of a silver dollar...$7...rip off. Ordered Carne Asada street tacos...served ice cold...had to be remade. The manager made it right..chomped the cold food...I'll try this place again....to be fair... Another great experience here. 2nd time there, I seriously can't see a reason why its not 5 stars. \nSunday Happy Hour all day! :) \nWent back again, enjoyed an awesome HH Meal and Drinks! \nGreat Guacamole and their House Salsa was great too! Love their Chipotle Salsa! \nThis time, I went for the Pork Tacos on the HH menu! Delicious! Al Pastor is what they really are, and I love Pineapple Pork!! \nGreat service again, very attentive waiter. Family went with a groupon deal and we were all very satisfied and plan on returning. Got the taco flight, which gives you five different kinds of tacos, three of each. It seemed like each one was better than the last. My personal favorites were the chicken and the carne asada. The pico de gallo and guacamole was excellent as well. Tried a blueberry "craft" margarita, also pretty good. Bunch of options for margaritas as far as flavors and tequila options. Overall great visit! Can only review the fact that we tried to have lunch here last Sunday at 12:45 pm and they were closed until 1:30 pm for a staff meeting. Typically staff meetings are held before opening or after closing. Don't delay opening to hold a staff meeting - especially in the middle of the day on a weekend. Poor management!! Modern Margarita has a lovely happy hour....here is my happy hour specific review:\n\nPatio: great patio for groups! The area is fenced in but doesn't block the outdoor experience that is so nice in the Arizona sunshine. \n\nFood: The happy hour menu can be found here: http://www.modernmargarita.com/menus/ModernMargarita-HappyHour.pdf\n\nI recommend starting with the $3 chips and salsa flight or $3 beer-battered onion rings (at those prices you can't go wrong!) The veggie and steak tostadas are only $4! I seriously make a meal out of the happy hour menu \n\nCrowd: The crowd can be a mixed bag-- there are some sketchy cougars prepartying for Blue Martini (that place is a sh@tshow), working professionals, and locals. \n\nStaff: our server was a total peach and didn't complain about splitting the bill. The bartenders gave my small group free shots when we told them we were celebrating a new job! Most importantly, the manager offered to charge my iphone! It was much appreciated! \n\nWe will be back again very soon for happy hour!

I love a good Gyro ! I like the Gyros at the Old village Grille. We usually eat in at the few tables available, but we also take out. I prefer to eat in. Some Gyros don't travel well. They make a very good Gyro for the area. The meat is sliced from the spit. The vegetables are always fresh. I have never had a bad Gyro from The Village Grille. They do offer coupon specials if you can find them. They do have lunch time specials as well. I like that they have a kids meal special that you can purchase for the little ones that can't eat a whole Gyro. You don't have to pay full price for the little ones that don't eat much other than the meat. I think the prices are very reasonable for what you receive. Next time I would like to try the Greek Salad w added Gyro meat. I went here for lunch last week. The prices are good and it is a good lunch or take out atmosphere. There are about 5 tables and a counter to order at. I got a gyro and it was very good. One thing my fianc\xc3\xa9 liked was they do not skimp on the meat. For me it was too much and I felt wasteful but it depends on what you like. All ingredients were fresh and I would go back again. Next time I'll order the gyro salad I saw it on my way out and it looked really good! This place never lets us down! Great value, friendly service. Make sure you order extra sauce because it's so good. I used to live close by, but now I'm 45 minutes away. When I stop, I have them wrap everything separately so it doesn't get soggy. One of the few places east of Pittsburgh that makes quality gyros. Their portions are more than generous and the quality is outstanding. Whenever you\'re talking "gyros," some mouth-breathing yinzer will undoubtedly mention the South Side\'s Mike & Tony\'s. Mike & Tony this. Mike & Tony that. Mike & Tony hit me with a wiffle ball bat. I spent two whole years after college living in the slums of Pittsburgh\'s South Side, doing my post-graduate work in hard liquor and fatty foods. Mike and Tony know what they\'re doing; their gyros are good. Old Village Grill\'s are perfect, though. Everything\'s seasoned to perfection. The toppings are fresh. The sauce is great. Old Village is, in my opinion, far superior; maybe the best gyro place in the area. Aside from their gyros, the other food they offer is great, too. Their chicken gyros are - and I never thought I\'d say this - just as good as their traditional ones. They also have several vegetarian options that are great. \n\nIt\'s a family-owned business. The old guy running the joint is as nice as they come. If I had ONE bone to pick with the place (and I\'m really searching here) it\'s that the gyro is arguably too big. I\'ll sometimes have to pick a quarter of the meat off of it before I even attempt my first bite. Still, that\'s not a terrible problem to have. Anywho... go spend some of your money there so it stays open, please.

Really bad pizza... I am giving them 1 star for the the online ordering and delivery. I'm giving a 2nd star since it seems from the other reviews that their other food might be better than pizza?\n\nAt any rate, I ordered the Brooklyn pizza (cheese only). I incorrectly assumed it would be a thin foldable crust. If it was good pizza, I wouldn't care if it was NY style. I was open and hungry. \n\nHowever, it was a square, thick and soggy pizza with very strange cheese or cheese application. I really wish I had my phone with me so that I could take a picture. I knew right from the get that it was not going to be good - just by looking at it. \n\nNo taste. Weird cheese. Disappointing crust. Sauce was fine.\n\nI forced three pieces down because I am stuck in a hotel room with no other options. I'm actually kind of pissed I spent $20 plus $5 tip for totally crappy pizza. Just moved back South after 25 years in NYC area; first pizzeria we tried was this one based on their "supposed" NYC heritage. We ordered a thin crust sausage pie and when waiter delivered it we said..."oops - you brought us someone else\'s - we ordered sausage". Waiter says THAT IS SAUSAGE. When I asked him to show us he pointed to some small crumbs that I mistook for bread crumbs, and walked away. We laughed - ate a "floppy" slice - and left with the rest in a box. We stopped at Harris Teeter, bought some precooked sausage, took it home, and tried to revive it. Not worth the effort...we should have just gotten Harris Teeter\'s instead. Somewhere along I-95 they also lost the instructions for making thin crispy crust. Pitiful! I'm a huge sucker for this place's cheese ravioli & garlic knots. Simple, consistent. I am not, however, a fan of the pizza. Too bland & too little toppings for this Chicago girl. I'm definitely going to keep coming for the pasta & knots though! If you are what you eat......then I am a LARGE Pizza Pie!\n\nI had to give these guys a try, so in order to do this right I stopped by, looked around and placed a take-out order, A slice of cheese, and a slice of pepperoni. \n\nNow, let's get this straight, Tony's is hands down (IMO) the best pizza in Ballantyne, and having read good reviews from fellow Yelper's Libretto's Pizzeria was bound to get my attention. \n\nThe building is unique in its present design layout, and why I mention this is that you cannot use the back door as an entrance. I had to walk all the way around the building, to enter the establishment. This has a nice outdoor patio, but very few seating arrangements in the bar / front dining area. The back area, ie the main dining area is nice in that it is a little more formal, located behind the wine racks with white linens on the tables.\n\nAfter getting home, I tried the pizza, it was good, the crust was edible and not dried out like stale bread, and this warrants the opportunity of ordering a fresh large pizza, so that I may share with others. Based on the reviews of other Yelper's, I may just stick with the pizza, but as I see it, I eat enough pizza to to keep Libretto's and Tony's Pizza in business.\n\nNCFoodGuy The food is great but the take out service is not. We've had two to-go/delivery orders that have been disappointing. We were double charged on our take-out order and then we had to remind them of menu items that we had ordered because they didn't look to see if we had everything we needed in the order. When we asked about being double charged they said it wouldn't be, even though we were. With our delivery order, we received the confirmation and after waiting an hour we called the restaurant and they said they never received the order. It's a shame because the food is really good

The box says, "make it great", but the contents were far from it. First of all, I had pretty low expectations coming from a Yum Brands chain (Long John Silver\'s, A&W, etc.), but man, there were a couple of things that stood out:\n\n1.) The buffalo nugget things were dry and no amount of ranch dressing could hide it.\n\n2.) The pizza slices were incredibly light, indicating to me that the mass of the pizza was mostly air in the dough and that the dense toppings (sauce, cheese) were lacking.\n\nIt was funny because my roommates ordered 2 medium pizzas to deal with the stress or whatever that comes at the end of the semester. They both walked away from it feeling unsatisfied at best, grease-poisoned at worst. The upside, it was pretty cheap. If you are looking for quantity, come here. They cool sometime s when there on time and get your toppings right or when they tell you straight out we don't deliver there no more... Alright, so Pizza Hut is cool in my book because it has stuffed crust pizza. I honestly was expecting an average experience, but the pizza we ordered tasted much better than I thought it would be. A large pizza is enough to satiate the hunger of two grown adults. One of the best fast food experiences I've had. My roommate and I were made a cheesy bites pizza the day after they stopped selling them because the manager realized how devastated we were finding out we were a day too late, and it only took about 15 minutes! Great service. Horrible horrible customer service. I called to have the time changed on my order. The call center wasn't even in the state. Then i go to the Green Street location only to be greeted with the worst customer service. They wouldn't let me change the time of the order. And im not talking like 15 minutes. 45 minutes later. This is carry out for goodness sake.. Anyway there is much better options. Please be prepared for slow processing times and horrible customer service. Food is the same crappy food pizza hut always is.

I wish I had a place like this where I live! This has been added to the list of "have to eat there" when I visit Vegas. I had the roast turkey fracos and a side salad. Both were fantastic! And the staff were so friendly they brought out some roasted kale (delicious) and a few other things to try while I waited for my food. I will definitely be back! Super healthy and the most important part, super yummy. My 2 year old and I ate here after attending story time @Town Square. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the roasted mediterranean vegi fraco and my son had the grilled cheese fraco. The adult fraco comes with amazing kale chips, which was a very small portion, but just enough to enjoy and also a side salad that was huge. My son loved his yummy grilled cheese fraco and ate all of it. Just a heads up, the wait can be a while. There was a very pleasant lady helping take orders at the counter and making the yummy Froccs, which are similar to an Italian cream soda. The chef making our food, was very friendly, and repeatedly asked if we enjoyed our food. Which we did!! I will be back for future visits, just wish the wait time for their delicious food get better. I am thrilled that Yelp sent out an email with some healthy places to eat. The food here is wonderful and the price is not bad at all. I got the pulled pork Fracos and Strawberry Freakin Frocc. Both were very good. The salad that came with the Fracos was amazing! It also came with Kale chips in which the chef had said it's only cooked in olive oil and sprinkled with salt. The kale chips have so much flavor and they're interesting to eat. It's in the area where the DQ was in Town Square. It's such a small place but I hope it continues to thrive! I will be back soon! You have to try this place at Town Square! Also, ask for a side of baked kale :) Great place! I've been here twice and each time the food was fresh and the staff was friendly. Really great if you're looking for healthy options and are in a rush.

Joe the kitchen manager is cool, friendly staff, healthy food portions size and place is super clean! Will def be back!!! Hidden spot !!! Guess they're still getting comfortable in the new digs. Nice, clean, fresh and new. Menu is more accommodating than the old Fergie's, but the Tzatziki sauce needs some work, and what's with the grilled gyro??? If there is one thing you'd want you duplicate during a replication, it would be the sandwich we all were in love with! Staff is great and the service, swift! This was the old Fergies and Piffels. Place is COMPLETELY remodeled. Looks like Bar Rescue came in here. Still got great gyros with an even bigger menu! Food is on point and it is super clean. All the servers I have talked to are really friendly and attentive. Beer is cheap too! Great little local spot now for some great Greek food. Service was terrible, gyro was not cooked all the way, order was short( no gyro sauce). I called when I got home and asked to speak with a manager, the girl handed the phone to a drunk patron who rambled on and would not let me talk to the manager. I received a call back 30 min later by the owner, he accused me of calling his manager a B____! He was acting as if he wanted to fight me. Tried to explain to him what I experienced and he didn\'t want to hear it, all I got was, " big deal, we forgot the sauce!" They don\'t accept credit cards either. I patiently waited for this place to open and will never walk into the G spot again. Do yourself a favor and go to Nikos and get great service and authentic gyros. Visited Gyro Spot for the second time today and got the lamb gyro again. I have to say, the meat has a wonderful flavor. It's been very juicy and spiced perfectly both times; however, the portions are very small for the price, and neither time I got tzatziki or lettuce on my gyro, just a ton of onions and tomatoes. I thought that tzatziki was a standard amongst gyros but apparently it costs extra here? I saw you could purchase it for an extra $0.75, but I thought it would at least come in the gyro. It's good in a pinch, but I'd drive the extra 10 minutes to go to Greek Village in Lakewood.

The idea and concept are great...but the atmosphere is not appealing and non inspiring to be honest. The food is average....but I guess this being a downtown establishment....shouldn\'t expect much. The fact that it is connected to the Lexington hotel....it is really just like any other average "hotel" restaurant. I heard it is closing or moving maybe....and quite honestly I am not surprised. I do wish them good luck because again the concept is great......but it needs great improvement to its overall atmosphere and appeal. Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends!!! I love the whole concept of Cycle and Jeff Kraus and his crew hit it out of the ballpark tonight with Experience. I started with the Tiramisu martini which was somehow even more fabulous than it sounds. Luscious and creamy, they (yes, plural) went down too easy.\n For a starter I had the frog leg lollies which would change the mind of any one turned off by frog legs. I could eat those everyday. Perfectly crunchy with just the right amount of sauce and nestled in a pillow of bleu cheese foam- seriously, how could you not like that? I plucked each delicious little morsel of meat off that froggy femur with delight.\n My first amuse bouche arrived- a prosseco rimmed in pepper- with a lightness that really helped to set up my next course, the "Not a Frisee aux Lardon". The peppery arugula and perfectly poached egg was highlighted by the crunchy, salty bits of pig\'s ear. I scooped up every last bite with the brioche.\n Another amuse of peach sorbet and basil was a nice palate cleanser. Dessert was a difficult choice between the skillet cookie with wild turkey creme or the nitro sundae. I went with the nitro sundae and could not have been more pleased. A truly beautiful dish, the crack of the perfect chocolate sphere revealed a gorgeous custard. The crystallized strawberries, caramel, almonds and chantilly finished this dish off with the perfect ratio of crunch and cream. I hear Jeff is looking for a brick-and mortar place. Even in this tough market, I have no doubt he\'ll succeed. This review is for the bar only.\nI had a date last week and was looking for a local bar to grab drinks at. I called Cycle on Wednesday and was told they would be open until at least midnight on Friday, and the guy was very nice. Friday arrives, and I take my date there, and when we enter the bar, the bartender makes a gas face and says they are closed for the night. I told her that I called just two days earlier and she just stared at me. No attempt at fixing anything, nada. One drunken patron at the bar yelled to open the bar back up, but I was over it. Well done cycle. I LOVE this concept. It brings folks into downtown Phoenix for a food adventure, and the pop-up style and quick-changing chefs mean you can stop by once a week and have a different experience every time. \n\nI stopped by during Chef Gio Osso's Italian weekend. The food was delicious, adventurous, and homemade, and the drinks were creative and intense. We started with the polpette ai tre, a trio of yummy meatballs that each brought something different to the table. We then shared the garganelli con sugo di salsiccia, a homemade pasta dish with sausage ragu that was AMAZING. We rounded out the night by trying BOTH desserts, one Italian donut stuffed with nutella and one croissant stuffed with homemade gelato and whipped cream. I LOVED my experience at Cycle. The waiters were fun and helpful, and the atmosphere is creative, with chalkboard walls and paper table clothes for coloring! I will definitely be back to sample some other chefs at Cycle. This is one pop-up I wish would stick around, so get there before it's gone for good! So far so good! It is a fun experiment that will only continue until the renovation begins, but that being said the mixologist that are there weekly can stir up some potent concoctions that will delight. \n\nCheck it out before it is gone.

Probably the worst panda. This store hires large kids that work slowly. They refused to make more vegetables , half the menu was empty and the kids were just hangin out. Went to order some food and all they had left was beef and shrimp. I got 1 shrimp that was it and then later in the night I was awoke in the middle of the night and proceeded to rainbow vomit onto my floor. For the second wind I walked to the bathroom and from judging by the first stream of vomit I was able to stand at just the right distance from the toilet so when I puked again it was a perfect shot while I was a standing up. Wow!! Selling BURNT chow mein noodles and an UNDERCOOKED kung pao to people at full price to people so they can discovered at home that they bought some burnt crap for a total of $32... I see where your standards are. MEDIOCRE. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY FOOD WITH YOU GUYS. Everything went where it belongs: straight in the trash can. I had to order pizza for diner after spending all that money. Never ever again. This is the 3rd time in last 30 days that i came and got 5 orders for my family for dinner and I'm very disappointed. Their portions that they put in the to go boxes have been skimped, beef and broccoli there was more broccoli and hardly any beef, fluffing of the chow mein noodles to make it look like there is more, the orange chicken were tiny and tasted like it had been sitting there all day. I tried to give them a chance, twice, hoping maybe there was an off day as I'm not an unreasonable person but I'm definitely not coming back now. None of us could finish our dinner because it was unappetizing and didn't taste fresh or flavorful. This is the worst Panda Express I have ever been to and sadly it is the closest to my home. I have given this location multiple chances and they just can not get it together.

I have always like Harvey's as far as fast food goes. This location is clean and the staff is friendly. Prefer their burgers to other burger places Cheap,cheap,cheap. Had to ask to get a second slice of tomato, second pickle, and more than two pieces of cucumber for my salad bowl. Next time driving up airport road to get to the bovaird and airport road location. I don\'t know what to say.\n\nI don\'t know how to compare.\n\nMost of all, I don\'t know what I ate.\n\nI hardly review a fast food chain but here goes..\n\nI don\'t know what Canadian angus beef would taste like to be qualified to make criticism but I\'m pretty sure it\'s nothing close to what I had. So I hear Harvey\'s is the "Burger King" of Canada, even though there\'s a bunch of BKs lying around. And of course, I couldn\'t spend my last night in Toronto without trying some Canadian fast food. \n\nHarvey\'s is actually like the Subway of burgers--you get to build your burger as much as you\'d like with toppings. I got the Canadian Angus and topped it with lettuce, tomatoes, pickle and mayo and ketchup. I was disappointed that the bun wasn\'t toasted but the toppings were all good and the burger wasn\'t bad. The meat tasted and looked like plastic but that\'s fast food, right? \n\nProbably won\'t order that burger again the next time I visit a Harvey\'s but I\'m open to try different ones. Staff was kind! A very good, long-established Harvey's location. Service is good, food is fresh and consistent with what you'd expect from any Harvey's location. I prefer the old chopped lettuce to the new lettuce leaves they use. For that matter, they introduced sub toppings... for burgers... I don't think so. I love this Harvey's. I've been going here for years. The staff (though they've changed over the years) are polite. I love their regular burgers and their veggie burgers. I love all their burgers here actually.\nYou can trade fries for onion rings for free (and why wouldn't you). \nI really love that you can get pickles on the side, whole wheat buns, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, spicy mayo, etc. and completely customize your burger.\nSo delicious.\nI could eat here every day.\nNommmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

My review is 3.5 with the extra star tacked on due to good service. \n\nI came here with my family not really knowing what to expect. I like the semi-casual ambiance of the restaurant. \n\nWe had the option to order the 9 course tasting menu with or without wine pairings, and while I was down, my family wasn't hungry enough so we ordered from their standard menu. To start, we shared the salmon tartare which was delicious and a good portion. All 5 of us were able to have a taste. We also shared a mozzarella + tomato salad (essentially caprese) which, while good, was essentially just a lump of mozzarella surrounded by tomato slices. The presentation could use some work. \n\nFor my main I had the seared tuna with foie gras and peas. It was very nicely cooked though I personally could live without the peas :) \n\nMy mom had the salmon which had a beautiful presentation under glass. She devoured it so I'm assuming it was good. My husband had the surf and turf with lobster and beef tenderloin. I had some of the lobster and we agreed that something was off about it. We'll stick to New England lobster in the future. \n\nIf I came back I'd love to try the 9 course menu. I recommend the seared tuna and salmon entree and salmon tartare app. We have heard about this place for a while now so we decided to try it on a Friday for lunch.\nWe arrived around 1:30 and the place was still almost full from the lunch hour. But the bar was empty, yay!!\nWe waited quite a while before someone actually spoke to us (greet us). So I am kinda of bummed since I was excited to try this place.\nAnd the service stayed like that the entire lunch hour :(\nSo that would be my cons....bad service and the chef is nice but very not talkative, we felt like we were disturbing him, which we probably were but it was not crazy busy. Anyway, I always prefer to hear from the chef himself about what to try so he kinda told us but the waitress was more loud and clear, thank God!\nOn the positive note, the food was awesome!! The ceviche was delicious, very light and tasty. Then we tried the crab beignet (crab cakes) which were fabulous including the "ranch" homemade dressing!! MMmmm!!! After this we tried the fish taco and the lobster roll which came with a butter salad and french fries with Mayo. French fries were soft and greasy. The salad was very simple. I was most excited about the piknik table where my lobster roll was served on than anything else :)\nSeriously, the food was great and I would go back for this.\nMaybe they just had a bad day for service when I went.....or I am just toooo picky! ;) I am a huge fan of Icehouse, Chef Nick Hodge\'s hip and casual love letter to Southern American food. If it weren\'t for Blackstrap BBQ\'s sudden appearance and my frequent visits that border on stalking frequency, it would be my most frequented restaurant of this year. With that in mind, I had never had the opportunity to visit his 1st and more "upscale" restaurant Kitchenette. This past Saturday, with the help of a last minute restaurant for a family meal, I succeeded in righting that wrong.\n\nWe started off with a half dozen fresh oysters with homemade Tabasco and a tomatillo based mignonette. The oysters were perfectly shucked and the mignonette was a very nice compliment to the freshness of the oysters with the subtle kick from the tomatillos. A good start to the meal.\n\nThe subsequent course brought forth 3 different appetizers to try. The Maryland-style crab cakes with ranch dressing were very well executed. Plentiful crab meat with a thin but perfectly crispy exterior. The ranch sauce was also very good and clearly homemade. Had the right richness but without being too fat and thick. Probably the best crab cakes I\'ve had in Montreal.\n\nThe Japanese taco with pulled beef teriyaki and daikon-jalape\xc3\xb1o slaw was quite good as well. Good strong flavors from the beef which were nicely balanced by the slaw. I only wished there wasn\'t just one taco in the dish so that I could have had more than one bite.\n\nThe final appetizer was the sopapillas with crispy chicken skin, truffle and spiced honey. Never had these fried pastries before but there were pretty good. Really, it is the spiced honey and truffle that comes off as the big flavor in this dish. This was more a dessert in flavour but a nice compliment to the other flavors we got during this course.\n\nWith the two mains we ordered (also another order of crab cakes but we\'ll ignore that for this portion), we also got a side of French fries and a side of Vidalia onion rings. The French fries were of the classic French bistro variety - matchstick style. Absolutely no complaints there - very good. The onion rings, on the other hand, were simply amazing. Nice thick rings of Vidalia onion that maintained a great crispness regardless of the batter which was nice, crispy and not heavy. That really allowed the sweetness of the onion to shine though. Once again, some of the best onion rings I\'ve ever had.\n\nThe first main was the lazy cioppino with grilled sourdough bread. I didn\'t try much of this for reasons that will become obvious in a moment but from what I had, this was a very nice hardy broth with amazing fresh seafood by the tons be it crab, shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels or fish. It all worked perfectly well together and with the sourdough bread, it made for a perfect bread dunking opportunity into the broth. Definitely will want to try this myself in more detail next time I visit.\n\nNow, I did not try much of the cioppino because I ordered the Chicken-fried duck confit, sweet potato and wild blueberry waffle, white gravy and pickled mushrooms. This was an overall wonderful play on the chicken and waffle combination. The duck confit was spectacular. There really is no other way to describe that beautiful piece of duck I received. Great flavor, great texture. Spot on in every way and that is before you consider the chicken-fried preparation on top of it. The gravy was nice and rich and the mushrooms were a very nice compliment to the overall rich nature of this dish. The one disappointment was the waffle which, while having a nice flavor of blueberry, was too soft in texture for my liking. I assume that may have been on account of the gravy it soaked in but it still wasn\'t what I was hoping for. A little crisper and this was a perfect dish.\n\nAfter all of that food, you figured we were done, right? Well, you\'d be wrong. To finish this off, we ordered the bread pudding with Jack Daniel\'s and toasted pecan caramel. Oh the bread pudding.... where to start with this beauty... This was simply the best bread pudding I have ever had and I honestly don\'t think it will ever be topped. The bread itself was nice, soft and able to absorb all of that delicious caramel sauce to make it even that much better. The caramel sauce was to die for and not just because of how rich it was. You got just the right taste of Jack Daniels and the toasted pecans added a nice crunch to the gooey rich mess that is this dessert. I felt like I wanted to explode afterwards but it was completely worth it in every way.\n\nI had high expectations for Kitchenette and there were ably met by Chef Hodge and his team. This is a restaurant I will come back to because I now have the desire to eat very thing on the menu. I believe that, more than anything, speaks to the quality of the food you can experience at Kitchenette. This is a place not to be missed.\n\nCheers! So I went to Kitchenette because we had been told it was amazing. The food was just ok. Nothing special. I had the salmon which was served in a chowder (a really strange combo and that I didn't end up finishing - it's really not how I expected my diner to be... I thought the chowder was on the side) and my husband had the ribs. He told me his ribs tasted too vinger like and his bean were cold.\nOur service was pretty bad. They gave us the wrong bill, and WE only realized after we paid that this is what happened. It belonged to another table and because it was only $1 difference they didn't seem to care.\nWe went to Kitchenette to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary.... it was a pretty disappointing experience. We won't be going back. \nI always give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, but this experience just wasn't up to bar. Go elsewhere to spend your money. We had New Years Eve dinner at Kitchenette and were blown away. The staff were friendly and the food was amazing! They had a 9 course tasting menu which was mainly French but hints of local flavor like the lobster tail with maple braised fennel. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone from couples looking for an intimate night out to a group of friends.

This could possibly be 5 stars. Driving by you would never know this restaurant serves excellent Italian food. It is rather small and has a very different decor from other Scottsdale restaurants. I went on a Friday night and there were not many people there and I have walked by on other weekend nights and it was the same result. \n\nRegardless of that the food was outstanding. I ordered a special, lobster risotto and it was superb. There are many other things on the menu which I would like to try as well. It is rather expensive, but well worth it. The service was also very quick, and it should be when there are not many people dining. Great authentic Italian cuisine with attractive decor and Excellent Team service, unpretentious exterior but don't let that turn you off, inside the operation is First Class, great food, moderately priced Took a date on Saturday. As mentioned by the other reviewer, this restaurant is very unassuming from the outside. \n\nThe interior is very nice. There are two large rooms: dining and the bar area. The interior is immaculate with a timeless quality. The carpet is plush and the striking chandeliers speak to this establishment\'s class and elegance. \n\nThe wait staff is attentive and professional. \n\nThere are daily specials and a diverse menu featuring steak, several types of veal, and fish. The food is very good, but not exceptional. I ordered a stuffed pork chop which was tasty but not "out of this world." \n\nI would consider La Locando to be expensive. Two diners with drinks and a large salad was just under $100.\n\nAll in all, it is a nice (but not great) restaurant with above average food that offer an elegant, fun atmosphere. Looks like a dive from the street, but through the doors is a cute, fancy little restaurant that has the best Italian food around. Great for date night or a family celebration. I am Italian (neopolitan - since we Italians all like our own region's cooking) and I don't like many Italian places, but this one rocks! Give it a try. AS OF AUGUST 2009, I\'M PRETTY SURE THIS PLACE CLOSED DOWN\n\nOk, this place does look a little ghetto from the outside, if fact they have began to put cardboard signs that read "Open" all over the exterior just so people know they have not closed down! This is place is worth going into though! My boyfriend brought me here on our first date (Valentine\'s Day) and we were blown away by the food. I ordered pasta with vodka sauce and it was outstanding. My boyfriend ordered the ravioli and it is his favorite thing to order since. We also ordered calamari which is pretty good and they made a specialty dessert for Valentines day of heart shaped ice cream with chocolate over it. They also serve make-your-own Bruschetta, really good that is compliments of the house. What\'s so sad is that Macaroni Grill is right across the street and always busy, if people only knew that authentic AMAZING Italian food at La Locanda is a better place to go instead of some chain, I don\'t think they would need to put those signs up anymore! \n\nThe waitstaff is on-point and very professional. The Host is my favorite though, he is so funny and very laid back, it\'s very easy to feel like a regular there. The host even makes fun of the decor on the outside! The inside is pretty cozy, nice atmosphere, they could just do a lot more with the place but maybe that\'s part of the charm. They have an extensive bar where you can have a drink before you are seated (rare though, it\'s usually not that crowded). \n\nI want to tell everyone about this place, I love it! If you or anyone you know is even thinking about going to that Macaroni Grill across the street, steer them to La Locanda, it will not disappoint!

First time ever trying Zoe's and I was kind of disappointed. First off the portion size is very small for the amount of food you get, I got the cauliflower bowl with salmon and it was $13 (see attached picture for portion). It literally had 4 baby pieces of salmon and they were dry. The food itself was already probably a 4 out of 10, a little bland (I can make better at home). It was also a cold dish which I didn't realize, so that threw me off. This was my first time here and it was sooooo good! A couple of friends and I stopped here on our lunch break and the manager Zeek was super helpful to us helping us decide what to get. The customer service was outstanding from all employees and the restaurant was squeaky clean. 10/10 recommend and I will definitely be going back! Thanks Zeek! Zoes always has great food... This review is about the insanely slow food turn around. I have been to this location at least 3 times that maybe has 5 customers! It should not take over 20 minutes to get a 2 orders, and one is a salad.. Lets pick up the pace, or driving the extra couple miles to Biltmore may be faster.. If you happen to be near the area and is looking for clean environment , friendly staff, and healthier food, give this place a try. Also when they gave me my order, everything was fresh. Haven't been here multiple times to know if their quality is consistent but just fyi. Man, what has taken me so long to check Zo\xc3\xabs out? They're veggies are super crisp, just how I like them. The rice is delicious as were the steak kabobs with Tzitki (sp?)!\n\nI grabbed a family pack for 4-6 people to go. Holy moly, so much food, definitely enough to feed 4-6 grown adults. I could have grabbed the smaller pack for who I was feeding. I will also mix up my kabobs next time to switch it up.\n\nThe lemonade is remarkably tasty as well. Admittedly, the pita must be as fresh as everything else because they did harden up the next day. I seriously lived on Zo\xc3\xabs for days with this pack. I like the pesto hummus the most although, as far as hummus goes, I can't say this is one of my favorites. That isn't to say it wasn't decent, just not my fave. \n\nI will most def be back to make a few more selections. It tastes fresh. They also have catering.

I decided to try out Tora cause I thought the Japanese authenticity would make this sushi restaurant above most others in the GTA, especially since it\'s located inside J-Town.\n\nThe best way to describe this restaurant is that it\'s a "no-frills" sushi restaurant. What you see is what you get; nothing more. There is no menu, and what you see being offered is the extent of what\'s available. The prices I find are very reasonable for the quality you receive.\n\nOverall this restaurant is good for your cheap, fill-it-up sushi. Of course it depends on what sushi is being offered that day, but I find the fish overall quite fresh and definitely worth trying.\n\nIf you\'re opting for take out, you don\'t have to enter this place. The J-Town complex has a small section for sushi from Tora, and I see the employees replenishing the stall often so it\'s guaranteed fresh. 3 stars\nThe pre-made and limited selection of the staples (kapamaki, egg, futomaki, salmon and shrimp) are actually well done. The rice is very good and their inarisushi is quite delicious.\nThat is it though. They do not make anything else or accept orders. It is a take-out counter with three token chairs in case anyone wants to sit there and eat out of those plastic sushi trays.\nWhy they do not do much more is a mystery\nWhy JTown does not have a high-end sushi restaurant is a mystery\nTora does not do sashimi because that is served next door and next door (By The Sea) does not do sushi because Tora does sushi.\nParty trays are available from a binder for pre-order.\n\nHello, Jtown: get a good sushi restaurant.\nHello, Jtown: get a decent ramen restaurant. Tora Sushi is my favourite place for 2 kinds of sushi - Futomaki (big roll with egg, cucumber, kanpyo, fake crab) and Inari sushi (fried tofu pockets, cooked in sweet soy sauce). There is no other place in Toronto that does these as well as Tora (even my mom, but don\'t tell her please!)\n\nFor a few generations, decades before the concept of AYCE, when there were almost no Japanese restaurants or grocery stores in Toronto, where sushi grade fish was non-existent, these were the only kinds of sushi Japanese Canadian families made at home. It is Japanese Canadian comfort food.\n\nTora Sushi is not a place for AYCE fans, this is not even a place for those who want different kinds of sushi. Its very basic here, but very authentic -\n anyone who has had proper sushi, knows the difference between plain rice, and authentic vinegar sushi rice, and Tora does it right.\n\nSome reviewers have wondered why they don\'t have more sushi available, and why they often won\'t make it "on demand", and that is because they get enough business from the Japanese community, ordering platters or just going in for whatever they have available. We know how much work it is to make this at home, and having a place to buy authentic sushi is so convenient while at J-Town, shopping for other groceries. Sushi is near and dear to my heart. Born in Osaka, Japan and growing up in the parents' sushi restaurant in Osaka and being around my father who was bonafide sushi chef trained in Japan gave me a unique appreciation for sushi. \nToronto being so far inland makes it hard to get descent sushi at reasonable prices. Add to that sushi places that do not vinegar the rice properly or use the proper procedure during preparation can change the taste.\nGiven the above, I'm happy to say this Tora Sushi has high quality fish, although limited selection but proper sushi. I think they deliberately limit their selection so that quality will be high for the fish they do get on hand. I think that this is a Japanese way of thinking by the Japanese owner. My mother and her Japanese friends also approve the sushi here. On the other hand, my Japanese friends do not approve of the Fish store in the same building, not sure what it's called, By the Sea or something. \nSo, anyways, Tora Sushi is perfect for preordering party sushi take out place. It's not a sit down eatery. They have snack/lunch size packs you can buy and sample for a quick bite. \nSo recently my friends from San Jose was holding a wedding in Toronto. I was in charge of procuring sushi for the wedding reception held on May 6th. I ordered 2 Matsu platters and 1 rolled sushi platter. I also had to order a small platter from another place called Taro's Fish on Sheppard since Tora Sushi does not have all the fish variety the bride wanted but it cost lot more. \nI picked up a sushi soy sauce from the Hesei Market on the other side of the building and it was good to go. Advice: Use only sashimi/sushi soy. Don't use those packets of salty regular soy they give you. Always use the milder, sweeter sashimi & sushi soy that has Mirin, strained bonito & konbu dashi as three of the ingredients to get that authentic sushi taste from Japan. The bottle I picked up didn't have any English on it except for the taped on ingredients list. It's a small brown bottle by Kikkoman, all in Japanese. \nThe sushi appetizers were a hit at my friend's Greek/Japanese wedding. Japanese guests and sushi snobs alike raved about the sushi. Authentic sushi & authentic sushi soy makes the best combo!! :). Oh, one more thing. Make sure wasabi is inside the sushi for proper sushi integrity. No putting wasabi in soy! BAD! \nSo, if you're not expecting a sit down restaurant, this take out place has limited selection of fish but you want good quality fish at reasonable prices, and you're going to host a gathering with sushi, this is the place for you. This is NOT the place to bring your date as this place has zero atmosphere and just take out. Lol. Of course there are other places with Japanese chef also concerned about quality but it's gonna cost you a lot more in Toronto. I'll review other authentic places in my view separately. \nIn short, great authentic party tray sushi by a Japanese chef that does not break the bank. Traditional Japanese sushi done well located within J town. Small yet efficient space.

On a sunny Monday a trio of our VPs decided to brainstorm. But as with all business meetings, there must be brain food. \n\nThe local Madisons in Saint Constant was our choice for our head tapping and boy, we're we glad it was. \n\nSeeing as we are ALL watching our health, we were delighted at the beautiful choices in the salad section.\n\n(We still drooled at our neighbours juicy burgers and fries) \n\nI chose the seared tuna while my coworkers chose salmon. \n\nI consider myself *fussy* as I consume sushi/ sushi grade fish multiple times a week and it was blown away by not only the large portion but the perfect preparation and gorgeous presentation \n\nEverything from the quantity of dressing to the fact that I was given the most beautiful avocados I have ever seen ( they had me at avocado). Pow.\n\nJust a note..it is huge. Bring your appetite \n\nLast but not least this Madisons has a beautiful coffee menu..Nescafe frapp\xc3\xa9 iced..like I was in Spain..but St. Constant.\n\nThe owners also make it a point to check on clients and introduce themselves .\n\nThank you Eddy and Themi. Keep up the wonderful job. We were at a Hockey tournament in Montreal and needed a place to take our team between games. madisons NY Grill & Bar was perfect. Something for everyone and the kids had no problem with the menu choices. Great staff as well. The owner here is so incredibly nice, and so is his waitstaff so I have to give him a full 5 stars.\n\nExcellent meal. The steak was perfection, the sides were great and I was full for a reasonable price ($30) which included dessert.\n\nVERY VERY good place to eat if you want steaks done right. Mediocre at best\nI\'m not sure that I get \nWhy this place is set \nAt more than 4 stars not less. \n\nYes, the place is classy and nice\nAnd at first, I really wanted to like\nThe food enough to come again one night\nBut it wasn\'t that good, in hindsight.\n\nOther reviews said service was great\nBut that is a statement I will debate\nThe waitress\' "friendly" came off as fake\nShe threw dirty forks into one of our plates\n\nThough it was visibly an accident\nDid not say sorry or make amends\nShe laughed it off and didn\'t bend \nTo retrieve the other from under my friend.\n\nThe menu is varied with plenty of food\nBut prices are high and quite a bit lewd\nPortions are decent I must include \nBut quality lacks and is really quite crude.\n\nI ordered the prime rib 14oz to share \nWhich came as ordered medium rare\nWith too much fat I could not bare \nThe generic taste lacked love and care\n\n\'Shrooms were extra, but worth the price\nFried to perfection without any spice\nMy favorite part, but they could not entice\nMe to return to this place twice. \n\n-------------------- Installment 7 of poetry reviews\n\nIt wasn\'t terrible. It wasn\'t great. It was decent but so not worth the price. Coulda spent the same amount at the Keg and had a much more satisfying meal. Awesome!!! This place is great and the owner Eddie is amazing!! He makes sure that everyone feels at home. The waiters and waitresses are nothing less than professional and courteous and always with a smile. I will be going there often that's for sure.

Obviously I am not alone in stating this is the WORST KFC ***POOR MANAGEMENT*** - If they do get your order correct the chicken is usually dried out - Employees are unprofessional and act as if you are an inconvenience to their day. I have given this place 4 attempts and have always been disappointed. I will not be going back! I know they just remodeled however when they removed the debris they forgot the management. Horrible! I've been living in the neighborhood for 15 years and have unfortunately ordered at this KFC dozens of times. I can't think of a single time where something wasn't wrong with the orders. They manage to screw up anything! The employees are usually impolite and/or grumpy, and the chicken is rubbery and slimy. Mediocre at best. Worst food I've ever eaten little red chips they put in the food were so rancid ew never ever going back !!! Garbage!!! Went today and they messed up the order, was given an unwrapped straw by hand, and not given a receipt. Been here before and sometimes had issues sometimes have not. Not worth returning. Oh and their bean burrito isn't half as good as Filiberto's. Avoid this location like the plague. I've gone here twice, and both times were awful. The most recent time, I waited in their drive through line for 15 minutes, just to get home and realize they gave me someone else's order. This place is ridiculous and I'm never going back...I would advise you to do the same.

I like it! Spice and rich in flavor. Reasonable price. It not tea bar, it's Chinese food. Delicious and spicy. Lots of choices for what goes in your pot so you can get just what you like. You will get a lot of food - I ate a whole pot but my wife could not finish hers. Yummy! Finally really authentic Chinese food! I missed having craw fish (\xe9\xbe\x99\xe8\x99\xbe\xef\xbc\x89for a while and this place not only made delicious ma la hot pot but also great craw fish! We ordered the spicy one (hot) and it was sooo good. Everything was perfectly cooked and the flavor was very prominent, and very numb. One of the best Chinese restaurants in AZ! This place is my number one pick for hot pot bowls! I loved the broth! In fact, I finished it before I finished the vegetables, meat and noodles! The items I picked were the lamb, sausage, leek, seaweed knots and wide noodles. The minimum charge is $10. a bowl, so you might as well keep adding goodies until you hit the minimum, right? Did I mention that the mild broth was the high light of my meal? The time passes quickly while watching the food travel network on the tv screens in the smallish seating, industrial decor dining area. Our meal would have arrived earlier if the server wasn't on his phone, much of the time, but he was pleasant and aimed to please, when at our table. I plan to return to have another custom combination and devour every last drop of their broth! Did I mention that I loved their soup base? ;) This place is in an odd area I\'ll be honest. It\'s almost random of where this restaurant is located. But besides that, this is a " create your own" style of place. So there\'s no set styles of soups you can order. I chose the beef broth with beef slices, some vegetables and a few extra add ins like tofu.\n\n**** There is a minimum amount of what you can have in your soup, otherwise you\'ll be charged a fee.\n\nFor example, if you only have $10 worth of your soup, you either add more and reach the minimum amount, if not you\'ll be charged a fee******\n\nI recommend this place for the experienced palettes of more unique flavors. While you have a lot of different proteins you can add.

Their food is always incredibly DELICIOUS. The lady who works there is the nicest person u will find working in the Grange Village. Their prices are very reasonable with the quality of food they make. The lunch specials here are only $5! Where do you find anything for $5 for a full box of food these days? Don't come here with high expectations as this is food court food, It's a student area, so value and portion size will be what you're getting. Thai Bright as a great selection of hot table items. I usually get the Singapore vermicelli as my carb side and either the mixed vegetables (which comes with tofu) or the green beans along with a meat choice of either bourbon chicken or spicy chicken. The food is usually served hot as their are usually so many customers lining up that the cooks refill the table items very often, so your $5 combo will come piping hot. However, I do find some items to be to a bit too salty. Either way, if you want a cheap and fast lunch, you can't go wrong with Thai Bright. This restaurant is found in a food court area, and has some very discounted combos by the end of the day. The one I tried had rice, spicy fried fish, veggies, tofu, eggplant, and a sweet yellow curry. This was all for only $3, along with a variety of other boxes. The lady who I believe owns this restaurant is also very nice.\n\nThe food is standard quality for Thai takeout/food court, albeit rather salty, but for $3 it really doesn't get much better. Come by around 6:30pm, you won't be disappointed. For food court quality, this place exceeded my expectations.\n\nThai Bright is located inside the Village by the Grange food court, and is probably one of the most popular stalls there during lunch. They have your usual Chinese fast food selections (think Manchu Wok), but they also offer Thai food such as Pad Thai and Pad Sew, hence why it's called Thai Bright!\n\nI wasn't interested in the Manchu Wok-style combo offerings (although for $5 they are cheap!), so I went with the pad thai instead. They make the pad thai separate from the food offerings, so you know it's fresh. For ~$7.50, the food quality is excellent, in fact I can say it's up to par to places like Thai on Yonge, Thai Country Kitchen, etc. They certainly do not use ketchup on their noodles, as I felt that tamarind sauce feel while eating.\n\nWill definitely dine here again if I'm in the food court! Checked this food court stall out based on prior reviews. This is not really true Thai food, and I suspect it's run by Chinese as there were Chinese dishes in their food window. I ordered the chicken pad thai, and unfortunately it was soupy and ketchupy, the noodles were too soft, and worst of all there bits of chicken skin and chicken fat in it along with a minute amount of chicken meat which was overtenderized to that mushy gummy texture. You can get much better pad Thai for a couple dollars more elsewhere!

Meh.\nI tried their protein balls (bag of 5, peanut butter chocolate chip). They were full of flavor but very dry and crumbled completely as I bit into them. A mess.\nI was greeted by an annoying teenager type of boy/man who followed me as I shopped. Not a warm atmosphere.\nI love, love the concept but it doesn't do it for me.\nHowever, I did purchase their pumpkin crunch trail mix and really enjoyed it.\nSorry to say, I am not sure if I will be back. I tried to give this place not a second but third chance. I wish this place was good because I like the idea of prepped meals, because I do that myself. \n\nI honestly think that the prepared foods are made cheap, low quality and they overprice them. I bought 3 meals and the coconut chocolate cookies as well as the black bean brownies. \n\nThe coconut cookies were EXTREMELY DRY. It was so hard for me to eat it because they were so dang dry. There was flavor but I could not get past it being so dehydrated. I couldn't finish the 3-pack it came in. \n\nThe black bean brownies were okay, they had the consistency of a red bean or taro pastry. The presentation though was not there. These brownies look like they weren't carefully poured into the little cupcake liners. \n\nFor the 3 meals I got I TRIED to eat them the day they were written to be best eaten by and it was still not good- the vegetarian summer rolls (similar to Vietnamese spring rolls), these did not hold up and were pretty much falling apart the wrap became stale and hard and the sauce had separated to 1/2 water 1/2 sauce. I couldn't eat this.\n\nThe second meal was the egg white with broccoli. I wanted to eat it for breakfast and it was bad. The food smelled horrible and when I bit into it, it had a pungent taste. I quickly threw this away. \n\nI then tried the almond crusted chicken fingers with broccoli (this was my salvation as it was the last meal)- the broccoli was over boiled and it was army green colored, not the vibrant broccoli color. The chicken fingers were SOO DRY. \n\nI'm over this place. No more chances. I can't expect that they will change. This place isn't a cafe or a dine-in but that's not the reason I gave this place 3 stars.\n\nThey serve pre-packaged prepped foods that are healthy sure it's healthy when you serve chicken, sweet potatoe, asparagus, etc. but I feel like I can go to the store for that in the frozen section and get those deals to microwave for a lot cheaper. \n\nI gave them 3 stars because I was looking at their ingredients list and I was surprised when I saw they used canola oil vs. olive oil or coconut oil. \nThey had variety in their prepped meals, but I did not feel like it was any different from buying Kashi frozen entrees at the grocery store.\n\nMost of their treats such as the peanut butter balls and the toasted coconut cookies I wanted to take home to try-- but it was filled with sugar (about 5-10g) per ball which was really tiny. \n\nI feel like this place isn't any different from going to fresh and easy or whole foods to pick up fresh prepared foods. \n\nI do however like the idea of being able to buy bulk foods and take it home, \nbut it is also overpriced. Average meal was about 10.95 and side meals were 3.95.\n\nI really like the idea, I just wish they used more of the healthier alternatives out there. Heard of this place from a friend. Stopped in while on my business trip to Las Vegas. Loved having healthy meals each evening already prepared. The protein balls were outstanding. Hope they open a location here in AZ. Until then I will continue to visit each time I'm in Las Vegas. Really had high hopes for this eatery as I loved the concept. After several purchases, however, I am disappointed. The meals I purchased--chicken and vegetarian--were bland and tasteless. More importantly, the cooking seems inconsistent. Loved the all-vegetarian Summer Rolls and Quinoa Stir Fry on first try; however, the second visit I was severely disappointed....Peanut dipping sauce had a different texture and taste, and the Quinoa was amateurish. Not worth the price. I bought a total of 3 Groupons because my first experience was so positive. Unfortunately, the 2 Groupons I have left will go unused or given away as "gifts", as I am not interested in this restaurant\'s offerings any longer. I suspect they will not be around for the long haul....

The amount of times I come here in a month is ridiculous. The amount of times my boyfriend comes here in a week is even more ridiculous.\nThe food is cheap and decent, and service is usually pretty fast.\nI am obsessed with their chicken wings and French toast (which is only offered during afternoon tea hours), as well as their all day breakfast menu. Five of us got the 4-person lobster meal and added the bitter melon beef dish. Great value and very tasty food! For the lobster we went with salt and pepper flavour and I loved it. The meal also came with sweet and sour pork (average), chicken with salt dip (good) and bok choi with garlic (good). There was also soup to start which I really liked. The bitter melon dish was nice - lots of slices of bitter melon and they stir fry it with black bean sauce. All of this plus two bowls of white rice was about $80 including tax. Amazing value! The taste of the food is pretty good. The price is decent and most of the specials come with a coffee or tea. This place is always busy from what I've been told. I come here at 2:30 in the afternoon and it was full. They run different specials throughout the day which keeps people coming. They only take cash though. Most of their specials run between 5 and 6 dollars. Not bad at all. I have gone a few times and there is a lack of consistency with food. Our last visit the portions were small and food did not taste great. Although their poor service is consistent. They even short changed us and I have seen other customers have the same issue. Came for Sunday lunch. Had to wait 10 mins for a table. Small waiting area.\nParty of 5 ordered:\n23 malay soft shelled crab fried rice\n37 fried rice noodle & seafood w/ XO sauce\n44 shredded pork w/ preserved egg congee\n51 dough fritter \nSome of the lunch specials came with additional drinks. We got 2 HK milk teas. \n\nThe hot milk teas were dark, heavy and the grittiness was everywhere in my mouth.\nThe dough fritter arrived pretty quickly and the congee soon after. The congee was enough for 6 bowls. \nFried rice noodle came after finishing congee. Wow. Spicy. Mostly noodle but has some fish, peppers and shrimp. Hot. 6 bowls.\nFried rice came right after finishing the previous dish. Many small pieces of fried shift shelled crab added a savory subtle taste. Rice was dry\n\n43 Lai wan style congee\nMany ingredients including shrimp \n\nBusing could be better. After finishing and piling 3 dishes, they were finally taken away.\n\nAs we were eating, lineups were forming. Very busy.

So I had high hopes for this place as we've been seeking a good Thai delivery place in our area. It has potential, as the flavor of the curry was good but there were some issues. We were dissapointed because we ordered lemon chicken soup and there was not any chicken in it, only vegetables. The chicken cost more than the vegetable only, and therefore was a bad value. In addition there were big pieces of iceberg lettuce in the soup which was bizarre. Soggy iceburg lettuce is really gross. The green curry with chicken contained only 3 pieces of chicken, and the curry tasted good, but the rice seemed low-quality and had a strange taste. One more issue is that the delivery man was difficult to communicate with on the phone and didn't have any change for a $20. We ended up digging around scrounging up change in the house to pay the bill which was inconvenient. Really inexpensive take-out. Ordered a dinner for 2, and we had so much food left over. The Green curry and pad thai were both pretty good. The cold rolls were not very good.. it was one roll cut into 6 pieces.. it wasn't rolled properly and it was just full of lettuce. \n\nWe ordered through JustEat and it arrived quickly and still hot. We would order from there again, just would skip those cold rolls and get a different appetizer. Pad Thai is nice, seafood and shrimp. Portions are it bad for the price. I've only walked in and ordered takeout but I don't think I'd actually eat there. Decided to try Thai Boys as it is in my neighbourhood. Got the vegetarian "date night" combo which comes with your choice of curry, veggie pad thai, rice, and 2 spring rolls. We opted for the red curry and upgraded the rice to coconut rice. I loved the curry and the rice was divine. The pad thai was decent but a touch more sour than I prefer. The spring rolls were alright. The combo is definitely a good deal if you\'re looking to feed two people and we even had leftovers! You ought to try a few dishes, to find what appeals to you.\n\nSon enjoyed food, and he is fussy\n\nLove spring rolls, green curry

thai
This place is the best Thai I've had in the south hills. There's a lot of really good Thai restaurants in pittsburgh and I think this place is almost as close as some of my favorite ones. \n\nI stopped in to pick up take out. I didn't realize how small this place was but it provides some much needed diversity in the little strip of restaurants on Washington road in Mt. Lebanon. \n\n I ordered the Tom Yum soup with chicken. The soup was really good. I ordered a spice level 8 on a 10 scale. It was spicy but still so good. The spring rolls are really good and the sauce it comes with was perfect. The green curry with chicken had a great flavor. I only wish they cooked the green beans a little more. My husband had the red curry noodles. So good! I should of got his. Next time I think I'll get the red curry. The flavor was perfect! Thai touch kitchen is my go-to for take out Thai food! They have the best freaking food I have ever tasted. Everything is so full of flavor and delicious. I do suggest you try them. This restaurant has decent Thai food, and the prices are reasonable. However, we've had some bad service experiences and won't be returning. We came in at 8 on a Sunday night--a little late, sure, but well before the 9 pm closing time. Our waitress messed up our order, and then tried to blame us for it (everyone makes mistakes! it would be nice for the mistaken individual to apologize, though). She spent the evening on her cellphone, which is pretty unprofessional and made us feel weird as we had to call her over a couple of times. The servers started to put up chairs 15 minutes to closing time. Guess they wanted to get home! It kind of made us feel like we couldn't finish our meal, so we just requested some to-go boxes and called it a day. \n\nI think this place could be really good, but it would be nice if they had more polite staff. Ample selections\nWe tried the tofu paradise appetizer\nIt was plenty for two\nThe food seems very authentic \nWill definitely come back to try more on the menu I'm not one to consume extremely spicy foods, so when I arrived at the Thai Touch Kitchen, I was pleased to discover there is a spicy scale! Being new to Thai food, I decided to go with a spicy level of two. The extremely nice waiter smiled and nodded as if he knew my tolerance for spicy food was limited. \n\nLocated in Uptown Mt. Lebanon, Thai Touch is a wonderful restaurant that I will continue to enjoy. The small, charming restaurant seats about 20 to 25. It has an open kitchen and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The service is great and really makes the experience all the more pleasant. \n\nI ordered the dumplings for a starter, which were flavorful and the perfect start to the meal. I also ordered the shrimp pad thai with a spicy level of two and thoroughly enjoyed it! There was a lot on the plate, and the flavors were present in each bite. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and blended in with the flavors. I would definitely order the pad thai again. \n\nI plan on bringing friends and the boyfriend here for dinner! I also discovered that Thai Touch has takeout, so my summer nights just got a whole lot better.

First visit--Excellent food, lovely nautical decor, super service from David. Second visit--same good food but very slow service. Five different people waited on us. I was here a few weeks back with a rather large group and the place was at least 80% full. That was where I thought the staff would struggle but they didn't. They kept up with food and drink orders and didn't skip a beat.\n\nThe food was quite good and the interior was pretty nice, but standard in my opinion. The location of this place makes it a little hard to find for folks new to the area. It's tucked away a bit from where you might park. Lovely location on the terrace overlooking Lake Norman. Had dinner there with very good, friendly service, the highlight being the Coastal Lump Crab Cake starter, sufficient for me as an entree. The lobster mac\'n cheese and Asparagus fries were also well liked. The downside was returning for brunch the next day when we all had "the dock" eggs, bacon, hash browns and french toast - have had better at Ihop. Thanks to Jason (our server) we had a fantastic evening! Applauds to Jason!!!!! \n\nHe was quick, never forgot about our water or mocktail refills and moreover did not fret when my son could not drink his "spicy jalape\xc3\xb1o margarita" as it was way tooo spicy! Beware we are spicy eaters although this Rita was over the top! \n\nMoving on to our meals ....\nTruly phenomenal as the filet was cooked on point, truly a piece of perfection....ahhhh so tender & moist not to mention SO flavorful! \nThe crab cakes deserve a medal on their own, probably the BEST I have had in a long time! A MUST TRY!! \nMy dad really loved his lobster bisque soup, he could not stop talking about how great it was! My husband ordered the fried cat fish and he as well was really satisfied with his meal. \n\nLastly, the dessert was really, really tasty...I recommend the key lime pie (great crust and a nice texture) over the brownie. The brownie comes with chocolate chip ice cream (sadly is was semi melted) no fault of our server as it was a warm sunny evening. Although the actual brownie was good. \n\nWe loved sitting on the patio under the umbrellas (beware the sun can be brutal (cover up or wear sunscreen) my sons neck looked like a lobster. \n\nThe views and the ambiance (tranquil & casual) was extremely relaxing, we were mesmerized looking at the boats docking and launching. \n\n*Pro tip:\nInside dinning feels claustrophobic SO GLAD we decided to sit outside near the water.\n\nENJOY!!! This place reminds me of a yacht club my parents belonged to in Minnesota on the Mississippi river. I really like the overly dark, over the top nautical theme. They have an AWESOME patio area right on the lake- one of the best patio places on the lake. \nI\'ve been here a few times, and agreeing with the other reviews, the hostess often has an attitude (like the snotty "my dad made me get a job while I\'m in college, but I hate it!" attitude that is rampant around lake area establishments). I think they were different girls each time, and they were literally polite, opened the door, etc, but you could tell she was mad we were there. I didn\'t actually expect the "local attitude" here though being its a nicer place. I guess the higher pricing doesn\'t really translate into better customer service here. \n\nThe food is great. The portions are huge and they use really quality ingredients. Also cute presentations and awesome grilled veggies. The waitstaff and bartenders are all really nice, but they just kind of go through the motions of what they\'re supposed to do (like they became a blank server robot upon getting to work). Maybe the staff aren\'t supposed to display personalities or something, or maybe they all just need some redbull, but I wish there was more of a genuine-personal feeling from the staff. No joking, no content, no nothing, just an empty bartender/server spitting out their lines. \n\nThey also have $4.50 martinis on Mondays and amazing desserts. Try the creme brulee (the menu says its butterscotch flavor, which I hate, but I didn\'t taste butterscotch, more like a really rich vanilla. Soooo good).

Moved to Sun City about 6 months ago have tried Jade Star several times. Absolutely love everything on their menu. The shrimp are big and tender, the chicken dinners are all superb, my wife love their beef and snow peas. It's so convenient to order on line and delivery is fast and very friendly. This is my go to whenever I want Chinese. The food is very good here. We have eaten here twice, and both times we were very happy with what we ordered. No complaints, good value. \n\nA quick suggestion to management: Please do not vacuum the carpet right beside us while we are still eating, and don't mop the floor 10 feet from our table so that we have to try and taste the food through the strong smell of ammonia. I remember what Army chow tasted like when you're out there on maneuvers...I'd rather eat that crap then the Jades Chinese slop. And to boot the\nservice sucked too. Pass on this place. The food is priced right, and the portions are huge. My hubby's beef and broccoli was cooked perfectly, the broccoli was crisp and the meat was tender. The egg soup was full of stuff, including some pieces of mushrooms. I ordered the lo mein and thought it was just okay. The chicken pieces were big chunks and good quality, it just needed more veggies! I'll order it again, but request more veggies. \n\nThis was our first time, and we'll be going back for sure! Doesn't look like much from the inside but the food is great. No complaints with quality of food. Price seems slightly above average. Will return/would recommend.

First time ever to Pane e Vino and it exceeded all our expectations! Amazing service from the Owner the moment (Stuart) we arrived and were seated. Great help on wine selection and appetizers for Happy Hour! Our server (Shauna) was top notch and made us feel super welcome. We will be back again soon for their incredible HH and for a full dinner! Meat balls, crab cakes and pasta dish were all incredible. Cheese board looked fantastic. Looking forward to our return visit. Thank you so much! I haven't been to this cute place in years and was hoping but not expecting it to be as good as it has in the past, but it was! It's cozy and cute. The place was not even vaguely busy, but it is high Summer so it didn't deter me. We had the pork shank appetizer that literally fell of the bone and it was superb. I had the fresh Basa Fish Almodnine...delicious and my friend had the butternut squash ravioli. All was sooo good I couldn't stop eating. This is awonderful Italian restaurant ! \nI accidentally made reservations for wrong night but when we showed up Stu graciously found a table for us.\nI had the Melanzane Parmigiana (eggplant) and it was the best I have ever had! Everyone in our party raved about their meals.\nOur waiter, Mark, was fantastic as was Stu!\nDefinitely will go back here!!! The restaurant is far out in North Scottsdale nestled in a quiet shopping plaza. The host was very welcoming, pleasant and made me feel he values my business. Also, the service was fantastic. It was a very nice time and I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. The fresh bread that is served was hot and very nice. I had some Calamari Fritti with marinara sauce. Also, I ordered Petti di Pollo Parmigiana. This dish was above average in my opinion. The chicken breast was tender and the breading was delicious. I love the marinara. I had a Spumoni Bomba. It had three flavors and was dipped in a shell of rich dark chocolate. I had such a nice dinner and a happy time. I look forward to returning sometime. Simply the best Italian restaurant in North Scottsdale. The menu and food is great and the wait staff is professional. My wife and I dine here almost every week. Every thing on the menu is excellent, but try the sea food stew. a half order is plenty and will amaze you. pastas are also great.

My husband and I went there for dinner. We had the calamari appetizer for the price of $18-. We were expecting something really good for that price. It was just the typical fried calamari with what tasted like plain old ketchup as the dipping sauce. We had to wait an hour for our main course. The main course was just ok. The waitress tried really hard to make up for it taking so long and is the only reason I gave it 2 stars. We went to Monroe's to have a nice meal and support a local business. The word among our friends was that the food was good but the service was slow so we were somewhat prepared. Well here's my list of problems we encountered:\n1 - Lack of communication between manager and the wait staff. I talked with the manager in the late afternoon and she indicated that my party would be seated at a specific table.Evidently that table selection had not been conveyed to our server as when we arrived he seated us at a different table. Not a major problem just a bit unexpected.\n2 - Insufficient wait staff.16 diners require more that one server especially when the server has to make multiple trips to the kitchen to fulfill orders. While the server was quite pleasant, he didn't appear well trained and his employer wasn't helping the situation. Any order of anything on the menu that exceeded 2 items (soft drink, wine, ice, dinner) required multiply trips to the bar or kitchen because the server didn't use trays.\n3 - Multiple requests for a glass of ice. Problem again was that the server was overwhelmed by the number of diners and the manager was unresponsive.\n4 - A second round of drinks couldn't be fulfilled because the manager couldn't find our wine of choice. After 20 minutes the manager finally found our wine and delivered it to our table. Yet with no glasses of ice!\n4 - Dinner order couldn't be fulfilled. The gentlemen in our party wanted a filet steak which was advertised on the menu and were told the restaurant didn't have any. While the roast beef was good the chicken Alfredo was very much wanting.\n5 - The manager stopped by our table on multiple occasions but over stayed her welcome. We were there to have a good meal and enjoy the company of our friends not the company of the manager.\n6 - Manager was very pleasant but appeared to be under the influence. Interacted with her on 2 separate occasions and my impression is the same.\n7 - Phone number on the menu had been disconnected! We stopped by for the Sunday football play offs. We enjoyed the TVs on the patio, great hamburgers and cool beer! We will go back. Waited for almost 30 mins before I even saw a waiter. They said they were way too busy as the entire place had more empty tables than tables with people. The waitress was rude. The table next to us walked out so we decided also to walk out. They really need to learn how to run a restaurant The food was poor, at best. Keep the Schmoozing manager (?) and get RID of the chef. Nothing tasted good, high prices and the only thing that saved the night was the nice patio, view of the lake and a good bottle of wine with good friends. Sooo disappointing! Won't be back...Fountain Hills has better and deserves better.

When i was craving for some mexican soup i came in here i got me some posole soup. Its was so good at first wanted it again couple days later. I ordered to go, picked it up came home and i was so disappointed. Half container was fat, juice was so oily made me gag. i threw it away i dont know how can same food taste so different. Second time soup has no flavor either. i probably wont go back. Great, simple legit Mexican food. Delicious salsas. Clean and nice staff. Love the chillequilles, al pastor burrito, and Carne asada! Ive been driving by this place, wanting to check it out for quite sometime. Im glad I hadnt read any reviews before hand, or I probably would have passed! I had a burrito de cabeza, and I am happy paisa!! I've had a very difficult time finding good Mexican food here inas Vegas...This by far is my favorite Mexican place in Vegas. We waited 45 minute for 3 bowls of soup. Won't be coming back or recommending this spot. I used to come to this place but seriously! I hope the owner pay attention To the cashier. People want a good customer service not only good food!! And you better check why she is not giving out receipts! It's a law!! I used to come here for Pozole every time I'm hangover and I get hangover a lot! But I'm tired of the customer service and I never get a freaking receipt!! That's cashiers need to get fired! And some education too!!!

Came here last week after the RVSHOW show, and back this week after boat show. The food is awesome! From both times we had the Buffalo chicken egg rolls, Philly sandwich burgers fries, Chicken caprese and all of it was delicious. We will be back and the service is good as well. I'm so disappointed that this place didn't open until my last semester of undergrad, however I usually make a stop whenever I'm back in town. The food is great, the beer selection is decent, and the atmosphere is laid back. They have an amazing steak salad, decent burgers and sweet potato fries. So why not spend your hard earned money at a local establishment instead of in the chain restaurant madness that is Bagley Road? I Love this place! It is just a great local friendly bar. I have always had terrific service and never had a problem with attitude from the staff actually just the opposite is true. The food is always solid with a great juicy burger and I love their Salad on the Cobb with blue cheese. I've also ordered take out an number of time because I work around the corner and it's always been just about the same quality as dining in., which I appreciate because there's nothing worse than starving and opening up your take out and it's a disaster. \n\nThe Craft beer selection is one of the best on west side. They rotate the selection frequently for the seasons which is awesome. And they have a unbelievable variety of styles Pales, IPA's, Belgiums, Porters, Stouts, lagers., you name it they will generally have it. I recently went there for a Founders event for CBS and had a great time. This is super special limited release beer and they got the only keg in the state...pretty cool!!!\n I love beer and usually drink that but they do knowledgeable bartenders that can make a mean martini according to my mother in law. \n\nBeing in the restaurant industry for years I rate according to the philosophy, quality, service, cleanliness of the place. I give Mike 5 because in 5 years I've never had a bad experience and for being a local gathering place it hits the nail on the head every time. I know I can go there at 2;30 on a Tuesday or 7:00 on Friday and get a great beer, a great burger or sandwich or salad and have great service. What more do you need?\n\nO thats right a banging Patio in the summer... I forgot that.. From the appetizers, main course to just the sides, My Family and I have never had a bad meal or bad service at this joint. It's like great bar food but to a whole different level of goodness. The salads are big, and there damn good. I've had every salad officially on the menu and they are hearty and creative. \n\nTrust me, every plate goes out with pride! Great for Bar Food. They have three different kinds of french fries. That\'s cool in my book. \n\nI\'ve been here a few times to eat and e I\'ve tried something new every time and enjoyed it all. The Black Bean Burger is a must have, even for you carnivores. Even my parents (whom don\'t frequent bars) really enjoyed the food. \nI suppose Mike\'s is classified as a \'college bar\' but it\'s very nice and not dirty and the bartenders have always been very friendly. I\'ve never been here during peak going out hours, mainly only to eat. Always got a seat at the bar and enjoyed myself there. \n\nThe Berea "Downtown Triangle" is coming together a bit. With Mikes, The Cornerstone Brewery, and Sweet Mango, they have a few really nice establishments. I hope they continue to expand with local joints.

One of the best chicken places in Champaign. Ordered the sweet spicy chicken, as was recommended. Took a while to get the food and the price is relatively expensive, but no complaints about the taste. The chicken was crunchy\xe2\x80\x8b on the outside and super tender. The sauce complemented the chicken well and wasn't too spicy. It was a little bit messy though. Restaurant review:\nOlive oil fried chicken sort of has a healthy ring to it doesn't it.... This review is mainly for the original fried chicken. i have read that a lot of the other friend chicken with sauce are quite soggy and not very good. Personally the original fried chicken is quite crispy and has a clean flavor to it based on the oil used for frying. This leans to a crisp fried chicken instead of the chunky hard fried chicken you get at other fried fast food restaurants. The only issue is that the fried chicken comes at a cost. it is unbelievably expensive and the chicken pieces are also quite small. With that, it is good for a 1 time experience, but I will take my fried chicken cravings elsewhere. \n\nPros: olive oil to fry chicken, waffle fries\n\nCons: Very expensive, takes a while to prepare the chicken sometimes\n\nHidden deals:\nNone\n\nHealth code rating: A. Overall clean interior, new. http://il.healthinspections.us/champaign/estab.cfm?facilityID=2319 Absolutely shit. First of all, shit taste. Their original chickens are soggy as hell and taste like white paper. \nToday I gave it a second chance to try their spicy chicken. They put hot sauce on chicken directly and it is so spicy that I can't handle it with even one bite. This restaurant didn't even ask me if I want sauce on side because it is super spicy.\nSecond, it is supposed to be a fast food restaurant but the average waiting time is over 15 minutes.\nCrispy KFC chicken is way much better and cheaper. Came here today to get some waffle fries. Waited in front of the counter for 5mins the the phone rang at the store. Instead of taking my order first or even a simple apology the employee answered the phone first despite me being there first.\nFinally after I was acknowledged, I asked about there waffle fries and was disappointed to find out that they cook a vegetarian item waffle fries- potato) in oil fried with chicken.. That is big NO in food industry. Also I politely asked if they would make a fresh batch of waffle fries in fresh oil instead of the old chicken oil.. they refused. \nMoral of the story - do not trust a business that choose to put customer last. \nFair warning folks. I used to be a frequent customer back when they still had their waffle fries about a year or so ago. I came in today to get the usual - boneless hot and spicy chicken 6pc meal, and I was extremely disappointed. 1) When I received my order, I noticed that the French fries weren\'t waffle fries and there was a HUGE amount of salt on the fries. I attempted to eat the French fries but I absolutely couldn\'t. They were SO SO over salted for no reason, to the point that you couldn\'t even taste the fries, just the salt. 2) I began to eat my chicken and noticed it tasted a bit too squishy... I look down and there is a huge pink spot where the chicken is still RAW. I was appalled. It was so gross and disgusting. I go up to the cashier and let her know that my boneless chicken is still raw and all she says is "I\'m sorry, we will remake it for you". First of all, at that point I had lost my appetite because if I buy food I expect it to be cooked correctly the first time and not the second. Second of all, I received it the second time and there was STILL a raw piece of chicken. Very disappointing.

This specific Robertos location. It can get closed down for all I care and any other food joint that takes it place will instantly be better. I order some carne Asada fries. But I don\'t like pico de gallo. So I asked the lady "no pico de gallo" I\'m standing there just waiting. and I hear the chef getting mad pointing at me screaming about pico. This dude is getting mad at me because I don\'t like something? Screw him. After him throwing a temper tantrum. Also a side note. This guy doesn\'t wear gloves. Pay attention to that stuff if you order from here. He then comes up to me and hands me it. Personally. Muttering under his breath about pico de gallo. I sit down and eat it. And it was terrible . Wayyyyy to much sour cream and the carne Asada was almost burnt. It was like chewing beef jerky. Never coming here again. I didn\'t want to go to Roberto\'s in the first place, but this is what happens when I throw caution to the wind and tell my husband, "You choose. Whatever you say, I won\'t protest. We\'ll go there." This was close by and open, so he thought it was a rather logical choice and/or he was really excited to eat a big greasy burrito. Either way, we arrived. The environment is sparse, very sparse. The fluorescent lighting, aging paint and general worn down state made me a little uneasy. The staff was friendly, so I tried to keep an open mind. I ordered the carnitas plate and awaited the results. To summarize: everything was very salty, and the pork was dry with the only prevailing flavor being that of fat. My error was probably not getting everything wrapped up in a tortilla and covered with other ingredients to create a sum that could have only been better than its parts. My husband seemed reasonably pleased with his burrito. I have been to other Roberto\'s and found it acceptable in the right circumstances, but from the environment to the meal, this experience was just too disappointing. Better ingredients, less salt and a fresh coat of paint would go a long way. Only giving 1 star because you can't just put nothing.\n\nNEVER eating there again!\n\nI ordered a taco salad with chicken and absolutely no onions! when I received it there was a black hair sitting on it. I'm blonde so obviously not mine! I took it back up there and it looked like she was going to argue with me on it so I clearly pointed it out. They made me a new one but I couldn't sit down and eat now so I had to take it to go.\nWhen I got home and I noticed that now it was completely loaded with onions!\nWhen I called they told me that nothing they could do. Well I can't eat onions due to an allergy so I ended up throwing it away because they didn't want to remake it again or give me a refund.\n\nScrew this place and their absolutely no customer service! Employees need to be fired, if you don't want to do your job then give it to someone that will and if the owners of this location don't care that a customer was treated like this then they deserve to be shut down Ordered a shredded beef burrito got back to work took one bite of a dripping wet ....soaked burrito I unrolled to see that my burrito was full of onion and bell peppers and this nasty boiled all stingy like corned beef meat ....same way with there chicken burritos this place is worse then taco Bell I would refer someone to del taco before I ate this nasty boiled meat crap again .........never again roberto My gf introduced me to Roberto's, and if she hadn't, there's an excellent chance I would've missed Roberto's altogether. It's un-remarkably decorated to the point of almost drab inside and out, at least the location I patronize, but clearly Roberto knows he doesn't need to spend money on the ambiance since people flock there to eat. I don't really know authentic Mexican food, and I tend to go for the ala cart items like a simple regular taco, but I can judge a good place by the line at the counter that's there no matter what time of day (and Roberto's is open 24/7). Because of hours of business, the place can sometimes draw an odd crowd. If I were hungover, second only to Waffle House, I'd go for Roberto's at 3AM, but that's another story for another kind of forum. \n\nMy gf gets the #11 every time. I don't know what all is in that, but she never deviates from that item. She piles on the carrots from the condiment bar, too. She loves Roberto's and that's really why I continue to spend money at this place because the food in terms of flavor, doesn't really stand out to me, but I can tell a real difference in Roberto's dishes compared to other fast food Mexican joints. It's fresh, for starters. And for fresh, they prepare it made-to-order every time and quickly. If the crowd at Roberto's is unruly, at least I don't have to hang around there too long.

Rue St catherine is one of Montreal's busiest places all through the year. After a long day all we needed was a good cosy place and , Trattoria Di Mike's, also known as Mike's, was our choice. \nEntering the restaurant, we couldn't but notice the waiters welcoming us with a wide smile and amicable way. Joel, our waiter for the evening showed us to our table and gave us the menu.. few minutes later, he came back and asked for our order... the place was crowded, we thought we were going to wait forever to get our food.. but fortunately, it did not take long... the order was fast, we even had an extra basket of fries for free.\nThe Salad was not very tasty, the vegetables did not seem fresh, but the rolls were fruity and light, the onion rings were delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.\nThe place was so welcoming that we were not at all in a hurry to leave. Mike's is well known for its fondant which we highly recommend.\nMikes menu includes a range of pizzas, pasta, sandwiches along with other exclusive italian specialties such as the famous Gondolas, haven't tried but we sure will the next time we go there. \nThe christmas songs put us in that joyful mood before christmas. The music was just loud enough that we could still manage to have a conversation with our friends without getting annoyed. You need to have the right expectations before eating here. It's in the mall, so don't expect something fancy. It's good food for the price, great portions, and friendly staff. Good place to go if you want to leave full and not break the bank. Cette soir\xc3\xa9e-l\xc3\xa0, je me suis demand\xc3\xa9 si ce n'\xc3\xa9tait pas mon pire ennemi qui avait pr\xc3\xa9par\xc3\xa9 la nourriture. Inutile de faire un long discours. C'\xc3\xa9tait infecte! Il ne faut pas s'attendre \xc3\xa0 de la haute gastronomie chez Mike's mais quand m\xc3\xaame!... Que ce soit au moins mangeable. Les crevettes Alfredo de l'entr\xc3\xa9e, baignaient dans une sauce gris\xc3\xa2tre. Les calmars frits... mon Dieu! Un spaghetti \xc3\xa0 peine \xc3\xa9goutt\xc3\xa9 et napp\xc3\xa9e d'une petite cuiller\xc3\xa9e \xc3\xa9tait flanqu\xc3\xa9 d'une salade C\xc3\xa9sar dont les feuilles avaient vieilli. Mon invit\xc3\xa9 a opt\xc3\xa9 pour la pizza au saumon fum\xc3\xa9. \xc3\x80 bien y penser, on aurait du la garder pour jouer au frisbee l'\xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 prochain. Stopped here randomly while looking for a place to eat lunch and was pleasantly surprised. We both ordered sandwiches which were good and the prices were reasonable. We also tried their alfredo poutine which was to die for! Food was okay. On par with say Olive Garden. I had chicken Alfredo linguini and my husband had the chicken parmigiana. It was good but nothing spectacular. Service was slow but friendly. They were really busy on the Tuesday night we visited. That might have contributed to the slow service. Probably wont go back during our week stay here in Montreal but if you like Olive Garden you will like Mikes.

UPDATE: 80s Night is no longer here on Fridays. (It has moved to the Smiling Moose down on Carson Street.)\n\nBUT! This is still a great little spot with cheap drinks and lovely barstaff. So still come here to check it out :) Oh, Jaggerbush, my new Friday night home.\n\nThe drinks themselves leave a bit to be desired, but you cannot argue with the perfect service from the bartenders, the fact that it's non-smoking on dance nights, and the slight distance from Carson Street, which keeps out the rowdy, just-looking-to-get-smashy crowd.\n\nThis is the new home of Lava Lounge's longstanding alternative 80s night. Yes, that's right, if you loved shaking it in that stinky hovel to the wonderful sounds of DJ SamArai, you can still get your groove on in a better-smelling venue!\n\n80s Night begins at 9pm on Fridays, but the dancing usually doesn't kick into high gear until after 10pm. As long as it's after 9, you can park in the lot across the street for free (I mean - free parking on the South Side on a Friday night?? BE STILL, MY HEART!)\n\nAnd we dance up until the lights come on. Sam plays the best in alternative 80s music - The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Billy Idol. He keeps some of the set dark for us goth kids, always peppers in some sweet industrial dance tracks, and loves to take requests. \n\nAnd I swear to you, even if you aren't sure you can shake it in a South Side dance spot, we regulars will welcome you with open arms and help you dance the night away!!\n\nDrinks are reasonably priced (although they can't seem to keep my Middle Aged Yinzer Lady White Wine in stock), the dance floor is spacious, and there's a nice 'meditation lounge' in the back if you need to chill out and catch your breath between songs.\n\nIf you're a 30something (or a 30+something) who wants a place to dance without judgment, chat with some friendly and awesome bartenders, meet some new dance partners, and listen to an alternative 80s setlist that would make Richard Blade proud, come dance with us at Jaggerbush every Friday night. Everyone's weekend is better when it starts with a night of dancing! This used to be a great bar. The new owners should have changed the name because it is dragging the old Jaggerbush name through the mud. We stopped in for the grand reopening with the DJ this past Saturday. Our bartender was more worried about plugging in her phone than getting people beer. Now that the taps have been moved to the back wall you can't see them, and it's not a good sign when your bartender doesn't know What's on tap. When asked if the Dogfish Head was the 60 minute or 90 minute, she came back and told me it was the craft beer. It wasn't overly busy, but it took a long time to get a new beer when we needed a refill, and they ran out of the beer special an hour in. And the back up special, and back up special. Our bartender did nothing to tell us what beer they DID have, we just had to keep guessing beer until we picked one they had. And there is something to be said about actually serving a beer and just having it slapped down in front of you and your money taken with no regards to the customer. At the end of the night she tried to tell me she didn't have my credit card, and we couldn't get out of there fast enough. Very sad to see a great bar run so horribly I've gone to a couple of 'quiz nights', Tuesdays at 8pm here at the Jaggerbush. They have absolutely wonderful beer specials 5-7pm ($2 any beer), and cheap drinks all the time. The quiz night is especially fun, and high energy with a young crowd, and its free. Winners even get gift certificates The bartenders are attentive, but the place still does allow smoking, so be prepared. I haven't been overwhelmed by the smoke, but I still smell like an ashtray when I've left.\nI'll be coming back for the beer and the trivia, and suggest you try it out! \n\nI've also been hungry enough to grab some fries here, I won't do that again. This is a place for drinking, not for eating, which is where it lost its star. I'm going to add Jaggerbush to the list of my favorite bars. Why not? Bartenders are friendly, drinks are cheap, and the food is decent for such a small place. \n\nI regularly attend trivia night Tuesdays at 8pm (in 2012). I won't say much about the trivia because others have already commented, but I will say this. To those of you wishing to attend, try to keep your groups small. If you push together the very few tables this establishment has to make room for your group of ten (most of whom will never arrive), you are a douchebag. I have it on good authority that the staff hate you and so do other teams who wish to sit. (Steps off soapbox).\n\nI like going to Jagger on other nights to drink with friends. Surprisingly, they get very busy even on weekday evenings! Thus, I try to avoid Jagger on weekends because it gets overly crowded and smoky. Be advised, smoke-haters. Jaggerbush is not for you. Try a pudding shot (made daily) and their pancakes and bacon shot at least once. Take a bite of the (real) bacon strip, do your shot, finish the bacon. Yum!\n\nAside from the occasional smoke, I don't have any qualms with Jaggerbush. However, if you have pediophobia, try not to glance upwards while sitting at the bar.

The Pizza is a Yes here! This review is not for the Pasta dish, nor the Soup, nor the Canolli, all ordered, photographed and eaten on this visit. I'll just say I only recommend the Pizza and if I give a Pizza four yelp stars, I like it pretty well! This pizza is a simple, perfectly cooked every time, moderately thin Crust, great simple sauce and Cheese not the taste of the trendy three Cheese Blend that I despise that so many places use and I avoid! The Owners are serious about great service and some of the servers are pretty good, though I rarely, very rarely is service a factor influencing my yelp rating on a restaurant. I enjoyed the stromboli. The place was hectic with trivia, but otherwise fine. Would return. I have been waiting to write this review for a year. I actually intended to send the owner a letter. We used to get Rotelli\'s for takeout and meals quite often but I will never set foot in there again. I feel sorry for the owners... this is a case of a bad manager and a terrible server.\n\nMy wife cut a coupon and we took the family to Rotelli\'s. The food was good although the server (a "rode hard and put up wet" attractive late 20 something) was surly for having to wait on a family. She might have been trying to get out of there so she could still catch "Ladies Night" at the Epicentre. The manager/bartender spent all his time schmoozing the server so it was obvious he was trying to woo her. Anyway, we have a pretty decent meal and they present the bill. My wife remembers the coupon and kindly gives it to the server with apologies that she forgot earlier.\n\nI am a notoriously high tipper but I also get very pissed off when a server makes a conclusion about serving a family. Anyway, she stomps off and I see her and pathetic "manager-boy" peeking around the corner. He comes to her "rescue" and adds an 18% gratuity on the original "pre coupon" amount. Now I know to tip the original amount and I am a very good tipper since I run a large private club in Charlotte. I just signed it and left. I hope she took care of him later that night and it was worth it. I assure you it\'s only the owners who will suffer.\n\nThis is a great example of how one bad person can sink an entire restaurant. I will never go there again and the ten to one hundred people I have spoken with will never go there in the first place since I... 1. Tell them NOT to go to Rotelli\'s and 2. tell them to go to Riccio\'s just down the road. Riccio\'s food is OK... but to be treated with that much disrespect is simply unforgivable. First of all, please remeber this review is for PIZZA, not Italian entrees. Please place your review in "Italian" if that is what your after. As the former founder of a small local well reviewed pizza chain, Rotelli\'s PIZZA gets 5 stars from me! As a former purveyor of pizza, one has to realize the biggest determinents of the overall taste experience of pizza is the dough and especially the sauce. At this spot definately order your pie with EXTRA SAUCE. Actually I ALWAYS order ZZA at any place with extra sauce. Theirs is well balanced, not too sweet, not too "over herbed". The dough is more flavorful than some of my other favorites. I will list them, not in order. Portofino\'s, Hawthorne\'s, Zio\'s, Due Amici, Lorezo\'s, Villa Francesca, Libretto\'s, Picasso\'s and La Strada. They have an insane special on Tuesday...a 16 inch cheese for, if I remember correctly, only $6.99, One topping $8.99! If you really like doing it at home, order you Pie with EXTRA sauce, half baked and NOT CUT! Preheat to 400, put on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for a few minutes and you will have one of the best New York Style Pie experinces in Chartlotte. Ask for real sliced Italian sausage...Sasacchia, you\'ll be in for a real treat! Best thing about Rotelli's... FREE GARLIC KNOTS!!\n\nThose things are thebomb.com! I could east baskets full of them!\n\nI would probably give Rotelli's more stars if they had more exciting vegetarian dishes. They definitely have a handful of veggie friendly options, but mostly boring. I usually go with the Sausage and Gorgonzola Penne, without the sausage.... OR a calzone. \n\nFood comes out fairly quick here and quality is really great. Never any complaints about the quality.\n\nThe seating here is limited, but I do like that they have mostly booths (my favorite seating option = cozy). But then again Rotelli's is in a strip mall, so I guess you can't expect it to be too big.\n\nI usually come here for work when I'm babysitting kids and we're going out for dinner. Rotelli's is definitely kids friendly!

I enjoy coming to Super G and always try to patronize the food vendors in here . I love coming to Honey BC and getting their custard buns ( so yummy ) . I've tried other things before and didn't like them , recently I got a fried rice dish , I believe it was the house fried rice and some shrimp\nDumplings . Rice tasted over cooked and almost gummy , I couldn't eat the shrimp dumplings due to the gelatinous texture of the inside mixture and hard texture of the actual dumpling . This could\njust be my personal taste but I will stick\nTo my custard buns in the future . They also make boba drinks which look tasty and seem to be popular . I have been going to this place since they opened. They have wonderful food and their buns are a quick snack when walking around the store shopping. I always go to then when I'm in Super G. In the back of the Super G grocery. The check out lady Vanessa(I hope I got her name right) was very helpful in helping me pick out the veggie, BBQ, and Kimchi BBq buns. I also got the shrimp dumplings and the green apple green tea. All for under $11 For anyone who has been to Chinatown NYC for some dim sum this is right on par. I am not a huge fan of the buns but only because it is a lot of bread. She warned me about the paper on the bottom so that was not a problem. The Kimchi bun she recommended and it was my fave. Next time I am getting a sandwich they looked great too! This place is awesome. I stop by every chance I get. I love the bbq pork bun and the siopao reminds me of moms. The prices are good compared to the ones in the frozen food section you more for your money, and they are FRESH! I always get the shrimp dumplings or Vietnamese pork buns! Can't go wrong with those but the bubble tea is not consistent. Sometimes overbearingly sweet and whenever I feel daring and try a flavor out of my comfort zone, I regret it. Try the royal milk tea half sweet.

This place made me not happy as there were regular guys you could tell that the waitresses were coming on to or seeing and ignoring the other customers the couple times I was in there Don't know what the first reviewer is complaining about, because hot waitresses in push-up tops, bare mid-riffs, and short skirts automatically improves any dining experience if you like girls. Yes, this is a place for guys and the select group of guys who have no qualms with taking their wife, girlfriend, or kids to Hooters for a meal.\n\nI don't have anything to say about the service away from the bar, because I sat at the bar. The bartender was prompt and attentive. Prices and menu selection were not un-reasonable for the type of place this is which is the typical franchise strip mall restaurant not unlike chilis, applebees, tgi fridays, etc, although they seem to have a pretty good variety of tap beers which you wouldn't normally see at a place like this.\n\nI think this would be a good place to watch a game given the more than adequate number of widescreen TVs.\n\nI give this place four stars, because it's Hooters with push-up tops, skirts, and heels instead of the not very revealing T-shirts and short shorts. Outside of the sex appeal, it's probably 2 and a half to three stars. I don\'t know how I can express this to the full extent I am hoping to but I\'ll give it a shot. I think the "sandwich" I ordered, the "fat bastards meatloaf" something, Is quite possibly the WORST $10.99 I have spent in my 27 years on this planet. I am in no way a picky eater and rarely criticize restaurants, but this shit is inexcusable. My diet usually consists of pub type food, burgers, reubens etc, so I know my meatloaf sandwichs. This folks, was no kind of meat I want to try again. Not only did this poor excuse for a sandwich not taste anything like meatloaf, the meat had ZERO flavor and the consistency of soaking wet, undercooked cooked ground beef. It was was absolutely terrible. How hard to you have to try to fuck up a meatloaf sandwich?!! The fucking fries weren\'t even good! And the Guiness BBQ sauce tasted like ladies perfume, weird eh? The beer even tasted weak, which I can\'t stand, and the place looks like a Fridays that\'s going out of business in an hour. The only positive I found at Tilted Kilt was the waitress working the bar section. She was built like a brick shithouse and kept leaning over to clean tables. Short skirt + hot female + Purposefully leaning a to far over = 1/2 star. Also, the TV\'s are very high quality and you have a good view from anywhere at the bar (another half star). That\'s it. And now that I think about it, that girl could have been 17 years old for all I know, kind of makes me feel like a creeper. Please, for the health and safety of you intestinal tract, avoid this place at all costs. If you are going to watch a game, maybe this is an ok stop to check out the young tail working there, but I would find somewhere else. Damn it, even after typing this I\'m still pissed off! The service is brutal, the food is way below average and their tap beer selection is less than stellar. The best part of the bar is the map painted on the ceiling above the bar. Seriously, not worth wasting your time. Lots of food for a reasonable price. If I had kids I would bring them here. It's just not that big of a deal. Went with my husband and they had really good music.

Im pretty sure it was the kids who franchised this Difara. all after making it a point to always stop at the original DiFara in Brooklyn and watching the old man cut up basil with scissors and taking a bite and all the history of that oven you can taste in your mouth.. \n\n\nYou will experience none of this at this Difara. Maybe the family needs to move here and stay on top of quality control, especially if you're going to charge $7.25 a slice For what it is, it's okay. Not flavorful by any means and overpriced. 23 bucks for a 2 piece combo that came with a drink plus another drink. The soda machine was leaky on multiple sodas. And in addition to all of this the attendant cleaning the area in mid bite as I put down my pizza to get a drink cleaned our table taking the plates with my half eaten slice with her. When she realized, she said oh were you not done and of course I was then. SKIP. This is probably the worst pizza I\'ve ever had in my life. First of all, I cannot believe they are selling reheated pizza by the slice for $8. And you still have to wait 15 min or so to get it. This is not the really bad part though.\n\nThe pizza is HORRIBLE. It is a complete insult to the Di Fara name!!! I cannot believe people who have never had the privilege of tasting pizza made by Dom DeMarco are walking around living life thinking "this is di Fara pizza" No. No. No!!!\n\nThe real Di Fara in Midwood Brooklyn, NY is the best pizza I\'ve ever had in my life. So please everyone, next time you\'re in New York, take the train to Brooklyn (or a $20 uber ride like I did) and go taste the real deal!!! This is NOT DI FARA PIZZA. \n\nI cannot believe his son opened up this place, used his dad\'s legendary name to sell Sbarro food court pizza and charges an arm and leg for it. Disgusting! After I ate here, I had to check on yelp and glad to see that I wasn't alone on the way this pizza is made here. They boast that it's the best of new York but when I visited NY, I came across tons of much better pizza. I'm better off going to the Trevi restaurant in forum shops, that was good pizza and a whole pizza was 10 bucks A disappointment to the iconic Brooklyn pizzeria Di Fara...but then again, I\'m ordering it from a food court in Nevada. \n\n"I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup." - Henry Hill

Tried this place out on a Monday night after reading some pretty good reviews, and having nothing in our fridge...\n\nThe place was pretty empty when we got there, but that kind of makes sense for a Monday night. You order at the counter and my friend got the traditional chicken shawarma sandwich and I got the traditional falafel sandwich. The guy taking our order made the comment that the falafel was his favorite food item there, so I figured that I chose correctly! Both sandwiches also come with a side of fries. \n\nFirst, definitely go with the traditional. It's a very nice texture contrast to the sandwich ingredients inside as it's a little chewier. The chicken had a great amount of flavor that was cut and complemented nicely by the sauce inside. The falafel was also nice and crisp and there was the proper amount of sauce so that the sandwich didn't feel overly greasy or messy when eating it. Big credit for being able to do that! The fries were also pretty good. Very crisp and not overly salted or greasy. The only thing that we said was that we wished there would have been some sort if sauce to dip them in. They have ketchup packets there if you want, but it would be great if you could get a side of the sauce from the sandwich, or maybe even some hummus to dip the fries in.\n\nOverall the food is definitely worth going in for, especially with the reasonable prices. This is another great addition to the strip mall that already houses some standout food options. I love Middle Eastern food. I crave it. So I was really glad to see when this restaurant moved in. But now the bad news: I've been there twice and I haven't eaten there yet. \n\nTo start, the yoga place makes parking here super difficult. It's not their fault, but it's a challenge to even get in the door. The first time I walked in the person behind counter was talking to someone at the counter. There was no one else in the place. I waited patiently but soon figured out there was no ordering going on. Just chatting and ignoring the only customer in the place. After a couple of minutes I walked out. \n\nI tried it again a few weeks later - I really wanted to like the place. I got the last parking spot outside at 1:30 PM on a Tuesday. Like I said, it's really tough to park here. The menu said that all of their sandwiches come with fries, which I can't eat for health reasons. I noticed that they have rice so I asked if I could have some rice with my sandwich instead. They wanted two dollars more for rice. That was the last straw. \n\nI'm never going back. I look forward to trying the next restaurant to open up in this spot. Reading the first two reviews, my hopes were set high for Mad Shawarma when I decided to venture over for lunch. One word of caution: the parking lot for this strip of buildings is a complete sh@%tshow during the lunch hour. With at least 3 restaurants and one yoga studio, the parking lot is simply too small to handle the influx of people. To allieve the pressure, the parking lot offers up valet service but with only one person working, the wait can be long. The space that Mad Shawarma occupies is bright and open. When I went, there were only a few tables occupied and a few customers waiting for their to go orders. I checked out the menu and decided to order the chicken shawarma (on traditional bread) and fries with a piece of pistachio baklava for dessert. There were only a few orders ahead of me so the wait wasn't too long to receive my food. The sandwich was just ok. The chicken was rather tough and lacked any real flavor. It definitely needed the garlic sauce that accompanied it. I will say that the traditional bread (more like a tortilla) was a nice change of pace and would be delicious if there was a better filling inside of it. I don't know if the baklava was baked in house but regardless, it was a nice sweet treat to end the meal. The sandwich and fries were decently priced at $8 but much rather pay a few dollars more for a better tasting meal. The staff was friendly and while I don't know if I would fight the lunch traffic to come here again, I may check it out during the off hours to give it another shot. I didn't even think I liked shawarma until I came here!! I got the chicken shawarma rolls and my partner got the chicken shawarma sandwich. It was SO good. Very tender and flavorful. The stuffed grape leaves were good too and so was the baklava. The workers were very friendly too! Overall the only thing I would change is to have black tea and make the atmosphere a bit more cozy. I ordered the Vegetable Platter as takeout tonight, with baklava. The falafel was crisp and flavorful, the tabbouleh salad was tasty and finely chopped, (though it seemed almost completely comprised of parsley and mint), and the hummus was fantastic. I don't enjoy stuffed grape leaves in general, and meant to leave them off the order. The baklava was gone in seconds.\n\nMy criticism would be for the pita bread, which did not seem as fresh as everything else, and for the lack of information about portion size. Although it ended up being filling enough, the platter was smaller than I expected, with only two falafel. Perhaps it would have been fine if I had eaten the stuffed grape leaves.\n\nOverall, I would say the food is very good and fresh, but I would recommend adding on an item if you are looking for a larger dinner portion.

This place is pretty good, they give you a lot of potatoes and they are seasoned with a yummy flavor! It's a bit of a way off the strip but worth the trip. Good prices and service. We were originally getting a breakfast buffet at the Wynn and decided it was too pricey. Did a quick yelp search and Egg & I appeared.\n\nTo make the review short: the skillets were huge and nicely made. Prime rib benedict was on point. But the star? The warm muffin. Could just eat that for breakfast and nothing else.\n\nService is great too. Our server, Thay, took our group pictures voluntarily and filled our glasses and coffee mugs frequently. Awesome food and service makes for a great experience. \n\nCasino buffets move aside. Come here for breakfast but leave a spot open for me.\n\n5/5 would come again. The fiesta skillet and strawberry cream french toast are amazing! Check in on foursquare to get a tasty and free banana nut muffin. This place had a lot of variety in their menu. One of the best omelette S I've ever had. They have the most amazing banana nut bread. It was my favorite part of the meal, and best part it was free with a Yelp check in!! Love! The service, the food, the spot is perfection!!! Highly recommend!!! Parking is not a problem and everything on the menu is divine!!

Great vibe! My table of four ordered lime margaritas and beers, chips with guacamole, chorizo & chicken enchiladas and pork tacos for dinner and all were fabulous! For dessert we shared the fried ice cream and the churros (these were a little doughy then I've had in the past, but still good). It is a casual scene and I can't wait to go back! Great margaritas! Homemade Quacamole - YUM!\n\nFamily run, authentic Mexican restaurant just south of Young & Eg. \n\nDecent food selection and unique sharing platters. Only gave it 3 stars because the quality of the food has varied from visit to visit. Some times its excellent and sometimes its just ok. Its never been bad however, which is why I still go back time and time again. The place was awful! The women's bathroom was so dirty and gross I couldn't use it. I had to go upstairs, tell them and use the men's. It was dinner time too. If I can't use the bathroom at a restaurant I won't eat there. The food was overpriced, subpar and service was not great. Had much better Mexican food elsewhere. Not vegetarian friendly either. Yey Mexican food! I am a big fan, so when a friend of mine suggested we go to a Mexican restaurant that made authentic Mexican food, I had no choice but to say YES! \n\nI loved it. The decor was cute and the people working there were super nice. Our table was very well taken care of at all times. \n\nThe food itself was extremely satisfying. I tried pickled cactus. It was a first for me. It had that strange taste to it where you're not sure if you love it or not, but your body quickly gets used to the taste and soon wants it more. Kind of like olives. I also had the chicken fajitas with tons of guacamole and I stole a whole bunch of stuff from my friends (burritos, taquitos, enchiladas). All of it was mmmm.\n\nI will return. Authentic Mexican place on Eglinton. Nice staff, good quality food, reasonable price and very friendly staff.

I rarely ever have a bad experience with this Denny's. The waiters are always there to refill your drinks and your food comes out shortly after you order. Occasionally I have gotten greasy food that was not as good as the times before (and after), but that is not common for this location. My favorite waiter is Lisa. She is very friendly and talkative, and she is great at remembering what you regularly order. Overall this is an excellent place to get food, especially if you want a quick bite for a low price. First off if you look through my reviews, my ratings are based on how the food tastes relative to a particular metro area. (Not against the world, or the nation) \nI rarely bring service into the equation ... its all about the food to me!\n\nI was called in to work at 3am last week and decided to hit the 24 hours McDonalds at Power & US60. It was closed, bummer. Right next door was Denny\'s, I never even noticed there was one there before. \n\nOK HUNGARY ... "I\'m going in".\n\nFirst off this is classiest looking Denny\'s I\'ve ever been in. (Not that I frequent them) Extra large photos of Phoenix cira 1970\'s greet you as you walk in. Nice. Relaxed lighting, colors, and seating, HDTV\'s. \n\nDouble Nice ... as was my late night hostess.\n\nI ordered a classic single burger, fries, and an ice water keeping with my original thought. Wow, what arrived at the table 10 minutes later was a total surprise. A large gourmet angus burger on a fantastic looking bun, all the fix-in\'s on the side, and perfectly cooked fry\'s.\n\nWith a totally surprised look on my face, the waitress asked if everything was OK? I told her I must be dreaming because everything is too perfect. No Denny\'s I have ever been in looked this nice, nor serves food like this. \n\nI decided to go along with facade ... and sure enough the taste was as good as the illusion. I woofed it all down in minutes, paid with a $10 bill, which included a $2 tip and tipped right out the door. \n\nOnly when I hopped in my "beat up" 2001 Diesel Beetle did I realize this might actually be real. Surely a brand new 2014 Black Beetle would have awaited me in this dream.\n\nCheck out this Denny\'s for yourself ... perhaps it was ... All just a Dream!!! Late night dinner after the movies, it was ok. One waitress on a Friday night but she did her best. Waffles were great! This morning I phoned in an order to this Denny\'s. With my order, I asked for eggs, over medium. I received eggs over hard...EXTRA HARD when you expect runny yolk! Unfortunately this isn\'t the first time it has happened. The first time, I took pictures of it and took them with me when I returned for the next day, as I have been frequenting this location for years. I showed the manager and he agreed that no parts of those eggs were medium. He then walked away to deal with whatever he was doing before I interrupted him with my dissatisfaction. Rude. I took my order and left. The staff I have dealt with outside of management, whenever visiting this location have been great. However, management is unacceptable. Today when I placed my order, the young lady on the phone who took the order was kind. When I picked up the order, still good. Once I got home and opened my container, I discovered that my eggs were overcooked. I called to make them aware of the situation and was passed over to the manager. When I explained to him my dilemma, he told me he would recook the eggs. I asked if I can just have the whole meal recooked and was told that "I\'m not going to recook your whole meal because your eggs were a little over cooked!" I explained to him that it is wrong to only redo part of it, as the rest of the meal will be differently tempered with only new eggs. I further explained that I would find me a different Denny\'s and post an online review. I am keeping to my word. Some advice, don\'t lose a frequent customer over hash browns and a biscuit. Mr. Manager, you act like I was asking for steak and lobster. Now, I won\'t be asking this location for anything! Ok I am going to start off by creating the scene for you all. Denny\'s is never on the list for a breakfast spot, but since we were on a job that was miles away from anything but a Dennys, we decided...What the hell. First off its always annoying being seated at a table between two huge families full of bratty, carpet munching, screaming children when the rest of the entire restaurant is empty..Browsing the menu in which even in the pictures of the food, the food still looks shitty... in rolls a man in a wheelchair with his leg literally sawed off at the knee. It wasnt bandaged or covered, just there for everyone to enjoy over breakfast. Our waitress hobbles over and we are assuming she is pulling a double after working the night shift. I order the 2 egg breakfast and my hubs orders the western omelet. When the food comes it seems not only the plate, my coffee cup and the food are all the same color. There is no color, no flavor, and no life to this food. Basically whatever ihop throws away, dennys recooks and serves it to customers. So we are sitting there basically separating our food with forks, and even only after taking a few bites I wish to God I could force myself to throw up. Slowly my energy is being sucked out of me as my body tries to digest this salted load of crap...when the raging gas begins. I will tell you the only fun reason to go to Denny\'s, is they have the perfect "Pleather" to really let your farts rip roar and soar.

I'm in this plaza all the time but it wasn't until I received a menu in the mail that I realize there was a sushi place here. I'm not quite sure how I missed it... but I'll tell you one thing, all the school kids in the area know it's there!\n\nWe came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch and it was packed with kids. Boy have times ever changed - I would never have been able to afford a sushi lunch when I was in school - and the lady who greeted us, said that it was like this every day. Wow.\n\nWhen we came back later in the afternoon, the place was almost empty save for a couple of delinquents (oh I'm kidding - maybe the kids had a spare class).\n\nThe menu is typical of any sushi restaurant I've been in so it's easy to compare apples with apples.\n\nWe ordered the lunch bento box with teriyaki salmon ($7.99) and the dinner bento box with teriyaki salmon and tempura ($12.99). Both are served with miso soup, salad, rice and spring rolls.\n\nThe main difference between the lunch and dinner bento box is that the dinner bento box comes with the tempura (as stated in the title) and a side of 6 california rolls with 3 pieces of salmon sashimi. The lunch bento only comes with 3 california rolls and 3 cucumber rolls.\n\nThe miso soup is larger than most restaurants offer and is served with a spoon, which I found nice and their salad is made with an apple and onion dressing - a pleasant change from the typical orange dressing you see. The flavours were quite refreshing.\n\nOverall, the dishes were excellent and I'm wondering if perhaps, I've just found my new sushi place. I particularly liked the way the teriyaki salmon was served on slivers of cabbage and also, it was a nice change to have the spring rolls.\n\nMy only complaint about our visit was the level they played the music at. Apparently they have it loud for when the restaurant is filled with kids... but those kids had all gone now (save for the two delinquents) and the restaurant was empty. There's no need to have your music so obnoxiously loud.\n\nThey turned it down upon our request... until, of course, the chef heard a song he liked and then up it went again... and with that, I will rate them a 3.5 star. Would have a been a full 4 star otherwise. I was very excited to find this place so close to home, even though it took me a while to finally visit... It has great value and an extensive menu! I was a big fan of the chicken katsu (chicken cutlet with katsu sauce) and enjoyed sampling the sushi my wife ordered. I would definitely recommend for takeout or dine-in (wifey got confused and we forgot to tip... will make up for it next time). My only suggestion is that the chicken cutlet be cut into larger pieces. That's mostly a recommendation of nostalgia though, my favorite plate lunch place in Hawaii (BBQ Kai) cuts their chicken katsu into larger pieces. Otherwise... Amazing! My wife and I went for the "All You Can Eat" lunch for $11.99 per person on July 3, 2013 around 1:20pm. The restaurant wasn\'t very busy. All You Can Eat is advertised from 11:00am-3:00pm. The waitress seemed nice at first. Our food was hot and better than expected. \n\nI asked for ice, extra lemon and had to ask her to replenish the ginger and wasabi, I mean no disrespect, this has been the case at the other Japanese Restaurants we\'ve dined. \n\nWe finish our first serving and expected she would return, she didn\'t. This was about 40 minutes later. She checked on other tables, took walk-in/take-out orders. It seemed she purposely found other things to do not to return to our table. \n\nI went to the washroom. As I passed by the front, I said to her, we would like to make our second order please. She came with the bill. I told her that we weren\'t ready for the bill, we wanted to make our second order. This was around 2:15pm. She told us the hours for "Alll You Can Eat" has ended. I was of course surprised, then referred to the their All You Can Eat lunch menu and showed her the time that states 11:00am-3:00pm. \n\nShe went and talked to who I believe is the manager. We figured, this was an honest miscalculation of time on the waitress\'s part. He came over and said the same as the waitress and added that the waitress has been back and forth 20 times getting things for us. I relaxed, smiled and said, I think 20 times is an exaggeration, and said, she came to our table three times, which was when I asked for extra lemon and that was requested during our initial order, I requested that our ginger and wasabi be replenished and ice because my water got warm due to her not returning to take our second order. He told me that their prices are some of the lowest in Pickering. She has been back and forth, back and forth. \n\nI was unsure where he was going with that, but said, If you are referring to gratuity, I have no problem paying gratuity when I receive good service. I brought to his attention their lunch menu and the time, which was around 2:30pm, which contradicted his claim that the All You Can Eat had expired. He then said, well pay what you want. I decided to entertain that and said, okay then, how about I pay $20. He said, if you pay $20, I\'ll called the police. I chuckled and thought, if my wife wasn\'t with me, I\'d tell him, call the police. I told him, this is not about the money, it is the principle. You advertise the All You Can Eat lunch from 11:00am-3:00pm and you should honor that. \n\nI paid him the $26, he brought back my change and repeated that the waitress was going back and forth, and their low prices. My wife said to them, we were sitting here waiting for the waitress to return but she didn\'t. I thought to myself, my wife and I have more class than this, I\'m done. I said to my wife, honey, let\'s go, while he was still talking. I said to my wife, how\'s that for adventure. We had a good laugh afterwards. \n\nThat was the worst customer service I\'ve ever seen. We will never return to this restaurant. \n\nI hope my review is helpful. \n\nGod bless,\n\nMardy W. Dixon Great sushi for a great price. Ordered 4 orders of the salmon rolls and 2 orders of the chicken teriyaki rolls and it came in under $20. Great local place! We've dined in and taken out and have never been disappointed. Good food, pleasant service, large menu, and very timely. Would recommend in a heart beat!

Saw this on food network. We had to try it. 60 minutes from order to being able to eat the sandwiches. Good sandwich but not something I would want to eat frequently for a meal. After a couple restaurant iterations at this location, Primanti\'s is an ideal fit for the space and surrounding \'hoods. The diverse crowd and continual take-out orders are healthy signs for longevity if you aren\'t already a convert to their "Almost Famous" sammies that helped put da \'burgh on the map. At happy hour with your large half-off beer, you\'ll be lucky to get two sips in before the larger than life sandwich appears...even before the appetizers! The service is quick and can be overly attentive depending on the server. Not a bad "problem" to have, really. For a bite filled with your choice o\' meat, fresh cut fries, sweet \'n sour slaw, cheese + tomato you\'re going to have to mash down the Italian bread (and/or cut it in half), but it will be so worth it. FWIW, their pizza is actually quite good, but their wings are on the smallish side and sometimes not the greatest quality...oh and my kid is partial to their hamburger. For the real deal hunters, late night is where it\'s at. All the aforementioned n\'at for $5 at 5 after 10:00 (time & grub vary by location). You can\'t tap into your inner yinzer more than breakin\' bread at your local James Beard award-winning Primanti Bruthas! 4-1-2 stand up! Been looking forward to these massive sandwiches since the last time we were in the area. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere was very cool. Full belly without breaking the bank! Fried pickles are amazing. Fries are fantastic, Sandwich is the most overrated food item I think I have ever had. Don't get me wrong, it isn't bad by any means. It is just a very average sandwich imo. This place probably has the best happy hour deals too After leaving a very negative review for another Primanti's location in town, I have to say I'm quite impressed with this one. I went here one week after opening early on a Friday evening. The fries on the sandwiches were crispy and piping hot and the veggie burger seemed like it might actually be made in house? Service was speedy and friendly. Good beer selection and happy to see a full bar as well as a larger menu (items like Pizza and salads). There weren't any sports games on so the crowd wasn't very big which is a shame, because I feel like this Primanti's actually deserves the crowd. Despite being a chain of sorts, it does have a local vibe to it and I feel like it's going to do much better in this location than some of the upscale predecessors in this spot. Hopefully the service and quality holds up when they are busier too. I live nearby so I'm sure I'll be back often- excited to see what they do with the outdoor patio in the warmer months.

Honestly disappointed. This used to be my fav place to get pad Thai, but the last two times I've eaten here it's been gritty, thick and difficult to eat. I haven't enjoyed it as much as I use to, and it's such a shame! Will not be trying this place again. After having passed by this new location of the Friendly Thai many times, we finally decided to try it one recent quiet afternoon. In fact, we were the only table in the long space for almost the entire duration of our meal. The TV was stuck on the weather and the lone server didn\'t seem to mind the static that was coming from the monotonous radio.\n\nOur meals started off with what the server wanted to remind us were "free" appetizers. While it\'s always nice to get complimentary starters, most comparable Thai lunch specials include them (in Toronto anyway) and the repeated mentioning of that fact was rather tiring. Besides, the salad was far too onion heavy and was topped with bright orange bottled French dressing. The accompanying spring roll, although much less greasy than the nearby competition\'s, was only okay. My pad thai was far too sweet and ketchupy. My lunch date\'s chicken fried rice was too dry.\n\nThe service was not bad. You can tell that they have made an effort to make the space suitable for grabbing late dinners and drinks. There are high tops with bar stools and advertised drink specials. This place served what was literally the worst thai food I have ever had in my entire life. I mean that. I am not exaggerating. We ordered three main course dishes and one soup, and without exception they were all awful. The flavouring was bland bordering on insipid, but what was worse was that the sea food smelt off. The fish smelt so bad that I ended up throwing my entire plate-ful food into the rubbish (we ordered take-out). I would not recommend this place at all. If you want good Thai food, go to Khao San Road- it's worth the trip downtown. The pad Thai wasn't great but I highly recommend the oddness of noodles dish. Lots of tasty noodles and veggies. Hopefully they can turn around the pad Thai as I live in the area and love Thai food. I'm surprised by some of the other reviews. I take out from here maybe once a month and I consistently go back because I'm always pleased. Green curry chicken and crispy beef with coconut rice. Can't go wrong.

Yeah I come here like once a week - defs a favourite spot. Their teriyaki chicken with rice is so tasty and comes with mushrooms and broccoli. The fried pork chops and beef with rice noodles are also so good, and so savoury (but definite eater's remorse afterwards, as they're both pretty greasy). The 8 delight tofu (8 different veggies and meats) is very tasty with much less grease. Regardless of what you pick, you get a solid meal with generous portions for ~$7...can't go wrong. I haven\'t been to this food court in a while but had a rare craving for fried food after a so called friend told me to "grow up" after I opened up to her about some issues i was having. So I went to a dingy food court.\n\nAnyways, I ordered the spicy fried squid with fried rice. Squid had the perfect amount of batter , good saltiness level and was freshly fried (ie crispy) and came with a generous portion of fried rice. Best of all, is that it was under $7, tax in. As the name would imply they do make some dishes on the spicy side. I had ordered a fried pork chop on rice and was asked if I wanted it spicy and I had said yes.\n\nHonestly I don\'t know if they accept other forms of payment but some of the places I know only take cash so I assume most of the places in the food court only take cash.\n\nAfter paying you are given some sort of "stub" for your pickup so they can pick up your food when it\'s ready. When this food court gets busy it\'s understandable that they\'d need to do this. Other places you can hear them over a PA system announcing numbers for pickup. \n\nThis place we just hung around waiting for it. (#21) which is the fried pork chop. I had a bunch of people with me and we just ordered a few dishes from a few different places in the food court. This dish was good because seriously it\'s a deep fried spicy pork chop. The rice wasn\'t anything special.\n\nMost of the menu is fried it seems which is fine because fried tastes good. My second choice in the Dixie park food court. They have great fried rice dishes, awesome teriyaki chicken and their meals are like $6 each not bad at all for all the food you get. Always fresh and fast. Lunch gets busy so come early or call and order ahead. Great bang for your dollar .\nThe meal are huge almost to big for me.\nAll items under $6.50 average price $5.50.\nThe taste a bit like Canadian Chinese. \nThis is a food court. \nA must try if you want a low budget lunch.\n\nVerdict: If you are looking for fake Asian food, with plenty of grease and MSG - go ahead, come here (but please don't call it Chinese food, at least have the decency to call it Westernized Chinese), but if you want authentic, don't bother.
