I watched the employee cleaning the tables then WITHOUT washing his hands he gets my food and brings it around. Ewwww is all I thought. First time visit became my last

3

Slow service, management doesn't even know there own promotions (ASU Game Ticket) which is on the counter by the register, if it wasn't for the good food I wouldn't bother but I'm not going to drive to Avondale for chicken fingers

1

Food is bland, they cook slow, \"toast\" is extremely soft and not good, fries not crispy, chicken not crispy, its just soggy and unseasoned

3

Solid chicken strips, but not much else. Unlike many, I'm actually not a huge fan of their toast or their fries - they always seem to get soggy by the time I get them home. But that's ok - because their chicken strips, along with their delicious special sauce, is reason enough to stop in. The strips have just the right amount of breading, are fried to hot perfection, and are consistently tender and juicy. They have a number of meal deals, but we usually opt for a tailgater pack - 25 strips with sauce, no fries, no bread. Always a hit for snacking during football games or for parties.\n\nThe Peoria location is easy to get to across from Arrowhead Mall on Bell Road, and is a lot closer for us than the other location by Metro Center.\n\nIt may not be the super fast, but it is worth the wait and the service is always friendly!

2

After hearing my daughter rave about it we decided to try it. I sent the girls down with some money and waited for their return. We opted for the six piece chicken tenders, cole slaw, and French bread basket. \n\nChicken was good, especially dipped into their special sauce. Cole slaw hit the spot and bread was also good but not great. Fries lacked personality.\n\nOverall, nothing special but not bad either. The menu is limited but I guess it works for them.

A and w is, and always will be, the place to go for root.. beer. But their burgers and other fast food offerings are still pretty good. They now serve sweet potato fries, thick cut onion rings, and homestyle fries . They also happen to be my favourite fast food place for breakfast.

The short of this is I don't think I would have been as successful or as confident breastfeeding without the help of Amey. She's kind, patient, a great communicator and teacher and has a strong network of resources available. \n\nAmey came to my house when I started struggling with BF (as a recommendation from our doula and she was also my nurse at Banner Del Webb), gave me some tips on how to improve (it was really painful) and weighted my daughter to basically check if she was getting what she needed in the first place (she was!). Also mentioned that I might want to get her tongue and lip tie fixed which would help a great deal (we did, on another great recommendation). My daughter is 4.5 months old and still EBF! \n\nShe's highly responsive (texts, emails etc) and also of note, can provide consolidated billing since lactation consultants are, thanks to ACA, covered by most insurers.

5

I can't say enough about how AMAZING Amey is! My baby is 4mos and I don't know where I'd be without having all of her help the past 4mos. I started off with having latch issues, she came to my house promptly upon our arrival home from the hospital and spent time answering all my questions and helping me breastfeed. She also gave me amazing recommendations such as a chiropractor that has helped drastically with my baby breastfeeding as well and was very knowledgeable on tongue ties and how to breastfeed after having the procedure done. Recently, my supply decreased and we had to supplement with formula and Amey was available to answer all of questions and give me a recommendation for a formula when my baby was allergic to everything else we had given him. She has been a lifesaver, SO responsive and sweet to this spastic first time mom. I HIGHLY recommend Amey and cannot wait to have more babies just so I can keep going to back to her!! Thank you Amey!

Amey is an amazing IBCLC! She is warm, caring, and passionate about breastfeeding. Her expert advise is just what any mom who struggling, or just wants some great beginnings advice, needs. I tell all of my friends about her. I'm even considering buying her newborn package as a gift for my friend who is pregnant. Amey saved my breastfeeding relationship with my second child and was there for me when I needed her support with my first child. I love Amey!

Found a little menu under my hotel room door so I ordered. ORDERED a large half supreme pizza and half Hawaiian pizza with 12 wings half hot and half BBQ. I got a large pizza that was all supreme with pineapple on it and it was a little cold. Pizza over all taste not bad. The wings were ALL hot with no meat and were tiny. Not good at all. Got one small ranch. When I ordered some airhead took my order and the guy delivering didn't have a uniform or a light up on his car, you would have no idea that he was the pizza guy. And there was a bunch of his buddies in the car. My pizza was in his trunk with a bunch of his crap. I'm from SoCal so idk if that's how they do it in Las Vegas but damn.

1

Their chicken Philly was very unremarkable. Their chocolate cake was, however, perhaps the best I've ever had. Melted in my mouth. Best $15.00 piece of cake ever!

4

Their pick-up specials can't be beat for the price. Is it the \"the best pizza I've ever had\"? No. But it's the best pizza I've ever had for THAT PRICE, for sure. Blows places like Little Caesar's out of the water (no comparison at all).\n\nI get the large 1-topping (and always add an topping), comes out to like a whopping $7.00 (sarcasm). Would be only like $6.00 without I think. I've heard their calzones are great too, but haven't tried them yet. Once I find something I like, for cheap I usually stick with it. My friend ordered a big thing of wings from them once, and I had a few, they were pretty good, but I prefer their pizzas. \n\nThe cheese they use is great, I don't know how they turn a profit at that price as all the ingredients are WAY better than what you'd find at places with similar prices. It's true, the area isn't that great (I live nearby) and it's small inside, but are you trying to rent a room there, or get some food?

5

Great place, healthy food, nice environment! I got the Chimichurri roast beef sandwich, and a Savannah bar; both were excellent and made with high quality ingredients! The taste was very much like home made food and desserts! \n\nThey gave me a free loaf of whole wheat bread with purchase of sandwich; as part of their grand opening promotion! I just love this place!\n\nDefinitely recommend it!

5

Gary and the guys at Ideal Body did a fantastic job repainting my car after it was badly keyed at a Badger game. They had just moved to their new location in the old Thorstad dealership, but were ready to provide quick, quality work. They handled the insurance company with aplomb. Highly recommended.

New to the area, my husband and I have already hit the highest rated sushi places in Pittsburgh. And while many were good, this BY FAR is the very BEST we have had!\n\nNewly opened, the restaurant is a good space. The front room looks small, but there's another dining area in the back. It was quiet when we came--a Monday night before the dinner rush. We were seated, given water and menus, and had our order taken fairly quickly. Miso soup came out right away.\n\nWe ordered the spicy tuna roll, the yellow tail roll and the hibachi chicken entree. Both rolls came out together and let me say: the fish is incredibly fresh! The sushi was absolutely delicious. We were so happy with it, we wanted to order more rolls just to take home with us. Luckily we didn't, because we ate the entire hibachi chicken entree. Cleaned the plate, it was so good. The staff was friendly, and the owner came around and asked us, and all the other diners, how our dinner was.\n\nAt the end of the meal, the owner brought us our check and gave us each a Hello Kitty chocolate marshmallow. It might sound odd to mention it, but to us, it was a sign that the owner really cared about his customers. He wanted to make a lasting good impression. Well, he did. We plan on returning frequently.

When this place was brand new, I was so excited to try it out. It's very local to my office, sushi is my favorite, and I love giving my money to small businesses vs. large chains. The first two times I went, the service was a little slow...attributed to being new, I'm sure of it...but the sushi was fabulous! And the ginger salad dressing is the best I've ever had. Not that sweet creamy stuff that I despise. That said, I was eager to return today for more delicious sushi!\nToday, however, was NOTHING like my previous visits. The waitress brought soup for my friend and then....nothing. We had to ask her to get our drinks and also my salad...she forgot. Ok, it was busy before we came in, she's just gathering herself....no problem. I ordered my usual shrimp tempura roll add cucumber with eel sauce and sriracha on the side. The sushi chef gives me one side of eel sauce, sriracha, and spicy mayo ALL MIXED TOGETHER. I told the waitress that I can't eat mayo, it makes me very sick and can I please have the eel sauce and sriracha in their own small containers. She does this. Then I got my roll.....without cucumber. UGH. She gives me a side of cucumber that I fumble with to eat on top. Crisis averted. Then I bit into the roll....this is where it gets weird. So, usually the shrimp tempura roll is one shrimp stretched straight and deep fried. This was not that. This was a MASS of BABY SHRIMP that was deep fried and put in the middle. Now, I wouldn't have cared if it tasted the same. But it didn't. Have you ever over cooked those baby shrimp? They turn into chewy hard pieces of rubber. Well, that's what this was. Chewy hard rubbery meat with too much greasy batter. So, I speak with the manager. I ask him if there was a change to this roll lately. He says to me \"No. We typically use the one piece of long shrimp, not the baby shrimps. I don't know why the chef did that. I will speak with him.\" I told him it was not good and I could not eat it. He apologized and walked away. I got my bill. The (uneaten) roll was still on it. I spoke with him and told him that I didn't eat it, it was not good. He said that the most he could do is discount the check 10%. Here's my problem....I said to him....I have no issues paying for anything at all. But this is a customer satisfaction issue and it wasn't even edible. I would gladly pay for the cali roll I took to go and my salad, but I don't understand paying for 90% of a roll that I didn't eat. He said \"I'm sorry for the inconvenience\"....but that is all. 10%....which totaled about $1.60.\nI'm not sure what planet this guy was from. He TOLD ME that it was made wrong. AGREED. Then STILL CHARGED ME FOR IT. \nSo, I won't be back. That's a shame because it was so convenient.\nLet me say also that had the manager said, \"I'm sorry your food was wrong and inedible. I took that $6.25 roll off your check and I hope you will give us another chance to get it right in the future\". I would have said, no problem....things like this happen. And then I would have been back over and over.\nIt's sad that a manager with no customer service skills killed this place for me. Oh, and I'm in Human Resources for my company with 135 coworkers.\n\nI sure hope this place gets their act together. $6.25 was a small price to pay to get many return visits. Horrible business decision on their part.

I work in Carnegie and passed this joint on a regular basis, so I decided to get some takeout. I sat down around 12:30, ordered the Udon - a relatively simple dish with noodles and veggies.... they didn't have it ready until 1:15.

I am notoriously picky about who touches my hair. After a few failed attempts to find someone who wouldn't just give me a variation on the same cut and color, I found Sam at Shag Me Salon and I knew instantly that I'd found my beauty spirit animal ;) I've now been getting \"mah hurr did\" by her for several years and the experience has been nothing short of amazing every single time. I always get exactly what I want and she's always good with making suggestions along the way to make sure I leave feeling like a hot little boss. Because of Sam, I have felt brave enough to try different styles that are completely out of the box and she always knows exactly what to do to make them look as polished and beautiful as possible. Unfortunately, I spend a great deal of time outside of Las Vegas now so I don't get to have her work her unicorn magic on my hair as much as I'd like (and no one anywhere else even comes close to how wonderful and skilled she is), but I would highly recommend her, or any of the amazing stylists at Shag Me, to anyone who wants to look and feel their best.

1

I used to really like this place at the old location but this new one seemed very unprofessional and messy but I decided to give it a go because with my work schedule I have a hard time making appointments and they took me as a walk in, Kellee did my hair and she was really quiet and just seemed uninterested in her job. She didn't even ask me much about what I wanted so I assumed she got it, the highlights she did are very uneven so that one side is much lighter than the other, I have long hair with no layers so the cut or trim I thought would be simple but since she spent over an hour drying and curling my hair ( she did this without asking if that was how I wanted it styled) I couldn't even tell what the cut looked like when I left. I don't think she even asked if I liked the final product. once I washed and dried it myself I saw that she butchered my long bangs, they were all choppy and she cut more so they were way too thick, I'm so glad I didn't have her cut layers!... I'm really disappointed I have to go spend more money to have this fixed! It wasn't the worst color or cut I've ever had but for $130 and very poor customer service I definitely feel cheated. If you go here don't go as a walk in, I've had good experiences in the past with Erika, but I won't be coming back here...

Vernon....enough said. This young man took care of an emergency situation for my wife and I. Everyone was nice but Vernon was beyond nice. Just ask for Vernon.

1

I wish I had read these reviews and talked to Vernon instead of Nathan. Nathan promised to help me move my ITunes to my new Galaxy. The ITunes were only on the phone I traded in, so when he sent me home to transfer the data myself over some program he sent me (that stupid program downloaded a bunch of crap on to my desktop,) it was all lost. That wasn't entirely his fault. I can suck that up and spend a week downloading all my cd's again, but Nathan refuses to return phone calls and emails. To add insult to injury, when I went back to retrieve the $80.00 case that I left on my trade-in phone, it was gone. Thanks, Nathan.

Well I guess my karma came back to me last night, at least that's what I would like to think. I pulled into the parking lot of this new Smashburger to meet my daughter so we could carpool to Savers Thrift Store for their half off Labor Day sale. We were to meet at Elliot and 101 and this was about the only place close to the freeway with a parking lot that was easy to find. There just aren't a lot of businesses around here--no gas stations or drugstores etc. This turned out to be fortuitous.\n\nI parked and waited for my daughter to arrive. When I got out of the car to wave to her to show her where I was, a nice young man, who I later found out was Mike, asked if we were planning to come in to Smashburgers. I told him that I had planned to ask my daughter if she wanted to grab a bite to eat there and he said that actually they weren't opening until Wednesday but tonight they were having their Friends and Family Night starting at five and if we would like to join them we were welcome to! I told him that we would love to if we got back in time and made sure it would be okay for my daughter to leave her car there while we were gone . He said that would be fine but suggested she park it at a little further back in the lot, so she did.\n\nWe got back to the area around 6 and went into the restaurant, which was fairly full but still had a few tables left, went to the counter and I ordered a Smashburger with goat cheese, arugula lettuce, cucumber, and Apple cured bacon with a side of their Haystack Onion Rings. My daughter got her favorite, a bacon cheeseburger, with a side of fries. They gave us each a cup for a drink. I got some vitamin water that was acai and pomegranate flavored. Periodically a girl walked around with a tray full of sample size cups of milkshakes. During the course of the evening we were able to taste vanilla, Oreo, and chocolate. All were creamy and good.\n\nThe burgers were delicious with what was obviously real meat, no filling, and all the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The French fries I thought were just sort of average but the onion rings were absolutely heavenly. They were thread thin and crispy and so delicate they practically fell apart when you picked them up. I loved them! I would come back for another burger and more of those onion rings at the drop of a hat. The burger was cooked well done, which I know they have to do, though I do prefer mine a little pink in the middle. But the texture and flavor of the burger were perfect. There was no gristly chewiness, just good quality meat . I would say the service was good though they were naturally very busy and didn't get back to check on us very often. However we didn't need anything other than a second sample of milkshake so we were fine. They even brought us an extra hamburger by mistake but let us keep it and brought a to go box, which I thought was very nice.\n\nAll in all it was a very nice evening. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, got a big kick out of getting a free meal that was delicious, and I plan to go back. I can recommend this place with a clear conscience.

4

I love Smash Burger first off, so I came in with high expectations. They did a great job at this new location. Food tasted great as usual, presentation was also good. They were pretty busy but got to us very quickly. Great job all the way around.

3

Pretty solid burger spot. This place is fast and serves up a good, solid burger. I have also tried the fried pickles which have been a bit too salty at times. Definately better than fast food or The habit at a resonable price.

3

I eat here from time to time. Close to work, its fast, and the price is average. \n\nThe burgers are pretty good, don't really care for the chicken sandwiches.\n\nItems I enjoyed:\nClassic Smash - basic burger, well cooked and seasoned.\nBacon Cheeseburger - see above, also has bacon (that's never a negative)\nSmashfries - great seasoning\nSweet Potato Fries - helps change things up\n\nItems I would pass on next time:\nHaystack Onions - Greasy, small portion, lacked flavor, just a mess.\nAvocado Club Chicken - Just very average for the price\nFrench Fries - Get the Smashfries \n\nOverall, nothing to spectacular about this place. Really nothing to write home about.

2

Another burger place. Don't get me wrong, I love hamburgers, but I don't need more temptation to eat another burger. This is the third one within a mile, not including McDonlds and The Vine.\n\nIt was not easy getting into this place either if you're East bound on Elliot Rd.\nI drove around that parking lot looking for a way on that doesn't currently exist. :-p\n\nI will tell you service was prompt and polite. Menu appears to have some decent options.\nMy fail was to combine some toppings on the burger that just didn't blend well. I don't understand. Blue cheese, spinach, tomatoe, and onion is GREAT as a salad. On top of a burger it was blech. \nBurger was well done, as in overcooked. And greasy.\nThe egg bun is good.\nFrench fries are alright.\nShake was tasty, but how often do you encounter a shake fail. \n\nPersonally, I dont think we'll be back here very often.

2

Very disappointed in this store. Just when I was excited that a Petco was opening across the street, my hopes were immediately crushed once I visited. Although it is a nic store, it was initially hard to locate the items I needed. It started off on a bad not when I entered at about 8pm and wasn't souch as greeted or asked if I needed help locating anything. Myself and another patron both assisted each other in locating the items we needed but after having to search without store help for almost a half hour, we both left empty handed. I gave two stares because the store was beautifully set up and they had ferrets which I adore. I will continue to visit Petsmart on Ft Apache in the future.

3

This is a nice new Petco location. It's clean and organized, but I found it a little difficult to locate items I was looking for as their inventory seemed a little sparse. \n\nExcellent parking and location, though.

Stopped in here last week for the preview and absolutely adored the space, the cats, and the whole \"cat cafe\" experience. They didn't have a menu available yet, but the Thai iced tea sample that they offered was lovely. The cats were so relaxed and friendly, and the staff was really sweet. Too bad I was only in Montreal for vacation, otherwise I would be stopping in every day!

1

Came here after much waiting and anticipation, only to be grossly disappointed. I had to wait outside the door for for a bit, before I was allowed in, because they are afraid the cats might escape, then I was stopped and told to disinfect my hands with the Purell by the door,before entering a very narrow \"lounge\" area where the (3) cats are. I then was informed to take a seat, (rickety) at an available table, then exit the lounge, to the cash, order my drink, then wait. I ordered an iced tea, (regular size) at a whopping $4.54 (with tax) , then had to wait an eternity before it was finally delivered to my table. Meanwhile, a sour -looking \"waiter\" approached me while I was still waiting for my tea, and demanded to know if I had ordered anything ! He then had the temerity to demand if I had paid, I replied yes to both, and he stalked off! My tea arrived finally, after a good 20 minutes, but it was merely flavoured ginger ale!! When I informed this same useless, sad excuse for a waiter, that this is NOT iced tea, he replied this is how they make it! Imagine that!! Sorry, boys and girls, this is NOT how you make iced tea, and keep it up with your clueless, useless (non) service and you'll be gone faster than many of your predecessors who previously had the address! To add insult to injury, one of the girls working there, proceeded to wipe down my table with Javex wipes, AFTER I had been sitting there for over 30 minutes, and was drinking my tea! Should not this have been done BEFORE??? Sloppy! As for cats roaming freely about the place, good luck, there are only 3 (on that day) clustered at the window, stay in that sapce, and do NOT really roam about the narrow room, corridor, more like. Overall, a very disappointing, pricey experience.

2

Oui les chats sont cute mais il n'y avait plus aucune p\u00e2tisserie \u00e0 se mettre sous la dent quand j'y suis all\u00e9 et c'\u00e9tait la bataille pour obtenir assez de chaises pour moi et mes 4 amis. J'esp\u00e8re qu'ils sauront rapidement s'am\u00e9liorer sur le service et les stocks...

3

A good place for cat lovers. You get to pet the cats that are walking around or lying about.\n\nThe menu is very limited and the coffee doesn't taste that great either. It would be nice if they could have good coffee not make it only based on cats.

2

One word. Disappointing. I traveled quite far from one end of the Montreal island to the plateau to check out this brand new first ever Cat Cafe. I really felt like there was no design or effort put into the environment and atmosphere. Honestly, it was just a room with some cats in the corner, with a couple of cheap tables and chairs. I seriously just sat down with my coffee for 10 minutes then left. One, it was not a comfortable place, two, I felt cramped and three, there was no cafe ambiance to me. I understand this is a cat cafe, but I feel they should at least put some more thought and consideration into the look and feel of the place. I mean this is supposed to be Montreal's first cat cafe!\n\nOn the plus side, there were some beautiful cats! But sadly, they are not enough for me to come back again.

2

It's too bad. The cats are cute. The concept is nice. I waited for 15 minutes for someone to come serve me and no one came. I spent my time watching people take selfies and photos with cats. And then I left. I'm looking forward for the one on Duluth to open up. Maybe they will have better service?

1

Great idea, poor execution - from customer service to ambience. \n\nI was really looking forward to visiting this place and was greatly disappointed. One employee was dealing with taking orders and processing payments, handling food, giving an interview, arguing with a vendor who was late with deliveries, and opening the door to let customers in.\n\nEnded up waiting 15 minutes to get into the cafe and another 25 minutes to get a coffee (had to order another croissant as the first was eaten while waiting for the coffee). \n\nAs someone already mentioned here, there is no cafe ambiance - just a room filled with some ikea like furniture and cats. Although adorable, the cats are not sufficient to make up for the rest.

Unlike the idiot who wrote the first review. I've actually been to Livewire. Went for the opening night AZ Foothills party.\n\nAMAZING!!! Simply a game changer in Scottsdale. Lighting and sound like nothing you've ever seen with a warm vintage welcoming decor.

3

We had a pretty good time tonight at LiveWire. We got tickets to see Jared and the Mill, one of our favorite local bands, and thought it would be great to go check out the newest concert venue in town. \n\nThe pros:\n\nThe venue itself is pretty beautiful. Big bar, multiple couch seating areas, lots of high tops and big bathrooms (with attendants). The giant eagle over the stage was really cool. We didn't get to check out upstairs but it looked like they had booths and VIP seating up there. \n\nThe sound and lighting systems were top of the line - it sounded great and the lights integrated well into the show. They definitely know what they're doing on that front, the band looked and sounded great. \n\nThe cons:\n\nWe were sitting on a couch and an air conditioning vent leaked right onto it (and my husband). \n\nI paid four bucks for a diet coke. I guess it's to be expected in Scottsdale but dang. \n\nThey had two comedians and a solo act as openers - the comedians had a really, really tough time getting any engagement from the crowd, most people continued to talk over them and it was almost painful to watch.\n\nOverall, I think it's more of a night club - concert venue than a concert venue - night club. Tonight, it was an interesting mix of the typical Scottsdale club goers and Jared and the Mill fans (and if it was a Venn diagram, the two don't have a big intersection). I do think it's a good venue for rock bands or EDM, but it wasn't quite my slice of pie. I'm sure others really enjoyed it though.

A spray tan has become a weekly staple in my routine because of Alanna and the unlimited monthly package at SunGun. She pays particular attention to areas which tend to cause evenness issues, to ensure a very natural looking looking result. The entire staff is always friendly/professional, the office and rooms all very clean, and the hours/appointment flexibility very accommodating.

5

Oh my god I went in like two weeks ago and I have been meaning to write a review. Alanna gave me the best spray tan of my entire life. That's not easy considering I've had like a hundred of them.. Ask for Alanna she is amazing and you will NOT be disappointed!!

3

good customer service. food was okay. their 'fried saimin' was tasty, however, instead of saimin noodles, they used a thin chow mein type noodles. i hope they research more into hawaiian food because some of the desciptions in the menu of classic island food were wrong.

3

I had lunch here with some co-workers as it is close to our employer. I ordered the #1 combination plate which comes with fried shrimp, mahi mahi and your choice of one item.\n\nI like that they allow you to substitute items, so instead of the mahi mahi I decided on bbq short ribs and chicken katsu.\n\nTheir plates come with two scoops of rice and one scoop of macaroni salad. I really enjoyed the chicken katsu and fried shrimp. The rice is really good and I am not normally a fan of white rice however when you mix the macaroni salad and the katsu sauce in, it was tasty!\n\nThe bbq short ribs left a lot to be desired as one was completely inedible as it was all tough grizzle, the other one was good.\n\nThe meal is generous and for 8.95 you can't go wrong. I think we will do lunch here again, I will just refrain from the bbq short ribs and try a different choice.\n\nThe macaroni salad is not so good stand alone, however mixed in with everything else it is ok.\n\nIt was not the best however not the worst. I am down to try it again.

4

Just when I thought 7th Street Public Market couldn't get any better... then they go and do this. Insert slow clap here.\n\nTank's Tap is a little u-shaped bar situated between Not Just Coffee and the new crepe place. A ton of local beers on draft and also some non-draft options in the cooler. \n\nMy favorite part: they have a TV. Caught the first half of the Army-Navy game here on Saturday. Hungry? Grab food from one of Tank's many neighbors in the market and enjoy a beer at the bar. Or, take the beer outside for some people watching and soak up a beautiful afternoon.\n\nParking tip: the market has a machine to validate parking at the 7th Street parking deck for 90 minutes. Validation is self serve and located next to Bonsai (the sushi place).

Chocolate and booze? Yes please. The Chocolate Bar is inside the New York New York hotel right next door to Hershey's. If you like to drink and like chocolate this is the bar for you. They have all sorts of delicious mixed drinks featuring chocolate. I had the drink with the peanut butter cups. Weird but yummy. If you are not a mixed drink person they also have chocolate wines and chocolate beers. If you are not a chocolate fan at all but some chocolate loving friend dragged you here you can also enjoy other drinks that do not feature chocolate. The jolly rancher mixes were tasty and very strong. The bar is small but the service good. If you are in the casino might as well check it out, you will not be disappointed.

5

Came here for my 21 bday and had a chocolate caramel martini! YUMMY! The bartender was awesome! Amazing service and awesome environment! I can't stop thinking about the drink!

If you're looking for a place to get your eyelashes done.. You found the right place! Kk is THE BEST! I've been to many other salons and had lashes clumped up, poking my eyes, and twisted in all kinds of ways. I was hesitant going to a new salon but KK was very sweet, professional and made me feel really comfortable. Needless to say, my lashes came out BEAUTIFUL!! Go see Kk! You won't regret it!

5

I've been coming to Kimi for a while, my lashes are always perfect and I get a lot of compliments! Everyone asks me where I got em done. She's the best!

The store on 91st Avenue, in Peoria, has been open for a while, but I just got around to checking it out a few weeks ago, when I was redoing my guest bedroom. Up until this evening, it's been great, but up until this evening, I haven't had to test their customer service skills. Bad training.\nOver the weekend, I bought a stretched canvas print and it had a coordinating print, but the coordinating print was poorly stretched, and you could tell the canvas was kind of 'floppy'. I didn't buy it this past weekend for that reason, but after thinking about it, I knew I could bring it home and re-stretch it, but didn't feel like I should have to pay full retail for it, being that I would have to 'fix it'. I asked the cashier if she would give me a discount, because of how poorly it was stretched. She said \"that's the way they all are\". I told her that I just bought the coordinating print to this one and it was stretched fine. She said \"the most I could give you is 10%\" and then made a couple of snide comments like \"I guess I don't know my products\" and \"I'm not lying, they are all like that.\" After her comments, I told her never mind, and she said, \"ok! have a nice night!\" VERY snotty. I think At Home needs to train their help in Customer Service a little bit better. Oh, this all happened around 5:45 p.m. tonight, so in case any management people read this, you should be able to figure out who I'm referring to. Blonde, no makeup, rude, cashier.

I am a Professional Designer and after the way I was treated by one of the \"staff\" members hanging up on me and then after calling back she would not even answer the store phone I was convinced that this person was extremely unprofessional in her job and should not even be working for the Company Garden Ridge which by the way is located in Plano, TX. I called the chief of operations for the corp office and a few others at the top level and let them know about this staff member. I had already spent a $1,000 and was prepared to spend an additional $3,000 to $4,000 today but why should I give a company like this my money with staff treating me like garbage. \nForget it I will take my business else where where I get treated like I am the customer and I get some respect and not hung up on. Oh and I called back 4 hours later and the SAME person answered the phone and she put me on hold and never came back. Unreal. I suggest you NEVER CALL if you plan to shop with these idiots. FYI they do have some incredible items IF you go through the junk to find a few jewels. \nGreat prices on certain items like Big Mirrors are a steal. Art work very reasonable prices if you need fill-in art. \nGood luck to you all.

Julie is fabulous. I wanted a change but nothing drastic. Julie found me a style and also educated me on some products that would benefit my hair. I definitely will be going back!

Love the Reggio Emilia philosophy behind this preschool!!! This is a fabulous alternative approach to schooling our children. Simone creates a loving and supportive environment where the children can explore and discover through a self guided curriculum. My son attended one of the Nesting Places' summer camps and absolutely love it! If you are looking for an alternative approach to education Nesting Place would be wonderful place for your little one.

Delicious beer, great local atmosphere, super friendly staff! Hopefully the area gets built up around the booze district and I will be a frequent customer! Nice job Craft Haus!

2

Unfortunately I can't rate the beer or atmosphere since they locked their doors early and I couldn't try what they have. \n\nYesterday (wednesday 9/17) I swung by and tried to check out this new brewery in the \"booze district.\" I had done my homework: I went on their website, read about the brewers, noted their cool logo, read about their beer and note the time they were open \"Wed-Fri 5pm-10pm; sat 12p-10p, sun 12p-8p\"\n\nBUTTTT when I went by at 8:37pm I could see in, and tell they were already cleaning up. Weird, but I tried the door anyways. It was locked. I thought I had made a mistake, no sign on the door saying \"we closed early\" the hours of operation next to the door clearly stated they were suppose to be open until 10pm that night. I rattled the door a bit more, hoping it was some mistake...but no, the guy cleaning up just kept on doing so. The 2-3 persons sitting at the bar just kept on going. \n\nSad, since I was really looking forward to this place. IDK what to tell you...maybe call ahead and make sure they're really going to be open when they say they'll be open? I would hate for any of you all to drive across town and the doors be locked.

2

The owner is very nice, however the beer is not that great. It was very blah. They only had two of their own beers on tap and the rest where guest beers. I was not impressed with their beer ...seemed a little watered down.

AMAZING!!!! You must stop by for a delicious craft beer, delightful conversation and they support other local artisans! CHEERS to our friends at Crafthaus!!!

I remember the first time i had White Rabbit, was when they had their truck at the foodie fest across from the Luxor. My friend and I had saw a bunch of recommendations of Yelp! Talk and had gone with what was recommended (Sisig Burrito) and had loved it ! Price was decent and the quality and size was great !\n\nThey are currently (12/04/14) soft opened. One of the workers has mentioned that today is their 3rd day they've been opened. CURRENTLY (as of around 3pm), we were told they were ONLY accepting cash but are trying to get their network back up as soon as possible for credit card usage ! \n\nTheir GRAND opening is set for December 13th. Current hours is 12-9 i believe but after they officially open, it will be 11-11, if not later. \n\nPork Sisig - deep fried pork belly, chopped pan fried medley of onions & jalapenos - (actually i just noticed the jalepeno part - not spicy at all) \n\nPork Tocino - sweetened cured pork, braised, wok fried to intensify its flavors\n\nBurrito - any meat encased in a flour tortilla along with garlic fried rice, swiss cheese, and a fried egg\n\nSo in this visit, i got the usual pork sisig burrito combo so i opt'ed for a pork tocino taco + drink. $8.95. As noted above, burrito consists of garlic fried rice, which is freshly prepared, very flavorful and fragrant. THOUGH i do recall the truck being more buttery ! pork sisig was nice and flavorful but with some tough bits here and there (its fried.. what you expect lol)... i wonder if i can request to have more jalepenos to be added in it? i found myself adding tapatio into it to add some spice but it didnt seem like the right kind of flavor for it T_T \n\npork tocino taco ... very small taco, maybe 3 bites (for me). the meat flavor reminded me between a chinese bbq pork in a bun + the dried shredded pork you put in congee. not a particular favorite but wanted to try anyway ! \n\nThe combos, you have a choice of the entree + a side + drink. the sides consist of either 1 taco, rice (white or garlic +$0.50), fries (omg they give you a ton of fries but they put a mix of salt + sugar on top... awkward imo), fried egg (2 eggs), pork lumpia (qty 6 but currently not available until grand opening), and coleslaw (vinaigrette based) \n\nIts a nice change from the usual chipotle or what not. Good location ! cant wait for Fluff Ice to come join them ! :D

When I finally heard that White Rabbit had finally opened a restaurant in Las Vegas. I was a little happy. Tried their food before from the their truck at foodie fest. And I thought their food was really good. The restaurant is small but in a well located area. I finally came here by myself and personally the service was friendly, but a little slow sadly on the food. Especially when their are like 3 to 4 cooks in the back which you could see. Prices for their food and combos aren't too bad. I've seen worse. I like this place it's pretty clean and the food is really good if you are into the Filipino fusion kind of thing. But the best choice of option to get if it's your first time is the pork sisig burrito. Mmhmm. It's one of the restaurants I wouldn't mind coming back too.

2

Went here the other day and here is my opinion on the place.\n\nMaybe because it was their soft opening, it was kinda all over the place but:\n\nThe place is small but nice, easy to ready menu and lots of options(Soft opening so not all were available)\n\nThe Sisig which I normally am a big fan of was hard. Not crispy like I've had before but HARD. not pleasant to eat but did have alot of flavor.\n\nAdobo was good but missing a little flavor to be honest. Had it in tacos form and on my bowl.\n\nWe were charged extra for some reason. The garlic rice was .50 extra and that was fine but that didn't explain the extra $3 charge and on our receipt as the order was cut off where it showed the items. Didn't want to wait in line to go back and argue since we had already waited 10 min.\n\nThe kitchen staff and front were completely all over the place and no one was really focused on the customer. Waited in line for 10 min before even ordering. They were yelling at each other back and forth and the guy kept yelling at the cashier though she seemed as if she just started but instead of yelling, he could have explained it to her in a calm way...\n\nReceived food and we were missing some tacos. They did quickly give them to us but it seemed everyone who went here had to go back since they were missing an item so CHECK YOUR ORDER!!\n\nI will try again as maybe they were having issues with it barely being open but so far unimpressed :/... Was super excited after having great food and service at their food truck.

2

Came here to give it a try because we saw it on LV weekly. The inside is small with only about 5 tables. The menu is categorized in a weird way. It just didn't really flow. \n\nThe food we ordered was the beefsteak carne fries, pork sisig and pork tocino. \n\nThe beefsteak fries was French fries with Swiss cheese topped with the beefsteak meat. The meat was super salty and the fries were drenched in salt. Every bite was basically a mouthful of salt. \n\nThe pork sisig taco was just pork in a small taco tortilla. That's it. No toppings, no sauce, just meat and tortilla. It was also salty. The meat was not quite crispy it was more hard like sand when you chewed it. \n\nThe last thing we ate was the pork tocino. It had a little bit of cole slaw on top. Not much flavor in slaw. The meat was salty but there was a hint of sweetness in the marinade. \n\nI feel like this food would be great as food truck options but as a cafe it was pretty basic and not too good. I can still taste all the salt in my mouth now as I am writing this review and I ate 45mins ago.

This review goes to my experience I had here at White Rabbit Las Vegas. I have had White Rabbit twice previously, & both times were from Foodie Fest. This location just opened within the past 3 weeks & have room for improvement. I love supporting small businesses & hope to see them live up to their food truck hype. Each menu item I ordered were all so dry. From the sisig tacos, to tocino rice bowl, & the white chocolate champorado. Theres a difference between having a nice crisp & having it too hard & dry. It seemed like they forgot to add water to the champorado as well. In addition, they're still working on training the employee(s), so don't except fast service. It took at least 15 mins for my food. Overall,\neverything was barely even mediocre. Good luck White Rabbit!

This place is pretty great. Fast filipino joint. Its a loud place to eat at, but that's because its small. I like how everyone gets along at least. I've already come by twice on its soft opening. Its that good to me. Lol. Anyway, onto the food...\n\nThe tacos were good. A lil sour for my taste when it came to some of the meats. The flavor of the chicken adobo and beefsteak was a tad overwhelming, if thats possible. But the coleslaw was a good touch though even with the hint of vinegar . My fave meat has got to be the pork tocino. It has enough sweetness to it, and a bit of the crunch. Even jalape\u00f1os were added in there, and damn! Lol. I did try the tocino with the fries, and 2 eggs on the side. I recommend doing that! So good!! The egg on them fries are pretty legit! Also, the white champorado was super super sweet. Couldn't take more than two bites. The sisig burrito was pretty good as well. Its apparently the fave dish, and it wasn't too bad. A bit sour, but I'm guessing it's the cheese.\n\nIll def come back again and again. I'm Filipino and I always need my Filipino fix. Plus, I gotta try everything else on the menu! I like to eat and compare from other restaurants and to my mom's home cooked meals. Haha. :) Also, you're close to home!! :p

HATE Nothing.\n\nDISLIKE Menu pictures are slightly confusing (ie. rice bowl shows fried eggs with it but they are not included unless ordered with a combo). Small space can't sit too many customers. Not all menu items were available yet.\n\nLIKE White chocolate champorrado. The tacos that can come in 3 different kinds. \n\nLOVE The Filipino fusion concept.

4

Had beefsteak and Tocino tacos. Was pretty good. Had a side of lumpia which was also good. Will go again

1

Overpriced food soaked in salt. Need I say more? Filipino dish is naturally salty but their food is overly salty. We ordered beef steak (bistek) and it was horrible. All I tasted was lemon and salt. Whatever happen to the beef? We also ordered pork tocino and again, it was horrible. It was chopped up into tiny pieces and overcooked. It seemed like I was eating \"pork tocino chips.\" The lumpia was not fully cooked in the inside. Lastly, their picture menu is misleading. They had eggs with the tocino when in fact they don't come together. The eggs need to be ordered separately. \n\nOverall, I was not pleased with their food, their food presentation, and their misleading menu.

2

The sisig burrito was dry, crunchy, and not what I expected. My friend got the Tocino burrito which was also dry and not sweetened at all.

Hey have you heard have you heard that White Rabbit opened a brick and mortar location right here in Vegas? Where you say? Right off Jones between Spring Mountain and Desert Inn, the same plaza as 168 market.\n\nI've only had White Rabbit candy. Anything from this White Rabbit or the food truck prior to this? Nope, but I've heard a lot of great things about them. They do have a good fan base a lot of people like them. They may have been featured in some tv show or newspaper/magazine. Honestly I don't even know, just heard their a foodtruck and that people like them. I liked their customer service.\n\nA group from work went here after having heard they opened. I told the staff that we've never had them and wanted something they were known for or was fans raved about. The sisig was suggested without hesitation. So I was hoping it was gonna be amazing. No one in the group liked it. It was pretty bad that I had to eat sisig somewhere else to satisfy my craving. It was pretty dry and didn't taste right at some parts, mushy at others. It remembered me of a overcooked mixture of canned corned beef and some other items. What I got, the rice bowl combo with drink was about $8-9 food truck size and price, wasn't filling. \n\nI probably wouldn't go back. But at least they have other items other than sisig and have a fan base.

Food was delicious and service was great! Friendly staff and good food. Loved the sisig and adobo plates. Before you leave you have to have the white chocolate champorado.

As awesome as their food \"truck\" i had at the las vegas foodie fest. There is not a lot of seating inside, but we went during their grand opening about 3 weeks ago and they did have a dj and outdoor seating with tents. Since its near chinatown, its a small building. But still nice wood tables and chairs. And limited parking- high traffic area, by 168 Market and across from Cafe Moda. \n\nThey were very busy, long line, moves somewhat fast. It's fusion Filipino/mexican type food, with tacos, burritos, and bowls with foods like chicken adobo.. and did i mention the sisig burritos are so yummy!!!..yummy....yum! Cole slaw is good, but a little vinegary. Food is fresh, fresh, and gooooood!!!!\n\n Its somewhat \"fast food \" done food truck style, but still have good service. The person on register is always friendly, and they call your name when foods ready. They forgot our drinks and sides, but were still friendly and brought them over right away. While waiting in line, one of the promoters came around and handed out t-shirts. Very nice touch! \n\nPrice is ok, its like 8 bucks for a 3 taco combo, with choice of 3 meats, 1 side, and a drink. Its a bit o'greasy, so not an everyday lunch meal...but if they park a \"truck\" outside my campus i'd def. change that last statement :)

White Rabbit was just okay. I tried the sisig burrito and made it a combo which comes with a drink and a side. Side orders consist of fries, coleslaw, lumpia, taco, etc. I chose lumpia. First things first, the lumpia pieces were TINY! They were a little bit bigger than a freaking tater tot. They weren't anything spectacular either. I bet they were frozen. Also, the drinks are only one size and they are 12oz. I didn't dine in, but I would sure hope they offer free refills if you choose to eat there.\n\nThe burrito was ok, but it was missing flavor. I wish I would have grabbed some banana ketchup on my way out because the burrito needed it badly. The sisig was crispy, but that's about all I can say about it. I didn't taste any onion or jalape\u00f1o as it says accompanies the sisig during cooking. I probably wont be back.

2

I'm a fan of the White Rabbit food truck, after living in So Cal, and I was pretty stoked to have it here in Vegas. However, I was unpleasantly surprised by their customer service at their grand opening a couple weeks ago. \n\nIt was my Mom's first time having their food, which was delicious -totally satisfies a tasty bite type of craving- but it felt like we were undermined when everyone around us, EVERYONE, was being catered to but us. It seemed like they were either friends of owners and workers there, or familiar customers, so that's why they were given a lot of attention. Someone did come up to us as we were finishing up, but he seemed so distracted, that I don't think he was even listening to whatever we were conversing about. Trust me, my mom and I are not ones to be attention seekers, but it just made our dining experience awkward, especially when they started giving shirts away to everyone they knew, which was everyone in the restaurant but us. At this rate, I'd stick to the food truck if that option still stood.

1

Did I get a \"Bad Batch\" or what? Got the Tocino bowl w/Garlic Rice & 2 Eggs. 3 Tacos; Bisteak, Sisig & Adobo. Unfortunately, the \"Shredded\" Tocino, Bisteak & Sisig were just way too salty! If these are \"Franchise\" recipes, then it's too bad. If not, please taste the food before sending it out & balance the flavors. Especially if people are going to pay $17+ for 2 small dishes. Friend & I couldn't even finish the food and the serving was not big. High sodium dishes... True Filipino Cuisine! Lol

2

Tr\u00e8s mauvaise exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 cet endroit. Mauvais service (caf\u00e9 ordinaire servi sans cuill\u00e8re, ni lait, pas de serviettes de table), nourriture froide, serveur trop timide \u00e0 qui il faut tout demander. Il y a du travail \u00e0 faire! Les belles photos et beaux sites Internet ne suffisent parfois pas. Bonne chance!

Les G\u00e2teries Monk opened about 2 months ago, replacing a coffee bistro which had closed its doors at the same location a year before. A resident in C\u00f4te-St-Paul/Ville-\u00c9mard, I had found myself without a decent coffee shop at proximity since I moved to the calm neighborhood last summer... until now!\n\nAs the name entails, Les G\u00e2teries Monk primarily serves cakes, pastries, sandwiches, crepes and omelettes, but it is also a coffee shop; the only one of its kind on Monk Street, a street which I hear used to be active but that fell into decay a few years ago. So if this new coffee shop can rise from the ashes of Monk Street, there is hope!\n\nThe shop deserves a solid 3 stars, not quite reaching the 4 stars mark yet however. The carrot cake is great, and so is the breakfast sandwich according to my husband, but the coffee is just above average. The Americano, although fair, was diluted with too much water, and the Mocha tasted alright but lacked espresso/coffee and was overall not too memorable. \n\nThe service was very courteous but on the slow side; the staff will need to speed up if they ever get more regular customers. I'm willing to wait but most busy people will not find 5 to 10 minutes of idle time acceptable.\n\nWe're still thrilled to have a coffee shop within proximity, the closest alternative being half an hour away walking; great on a warm summer day, not so great during winter!\n\nWe'll be back for sure, but as it currently stands, Les G\u00e2teries Monk doesn't stand among the hall of fame of Montreal's coffee shops.

Enjoyed a wonderful meal tonight with my daughters. Attentive service, beautiful space, and varied menu. Our favorite menu item? Bacon wrapped asparagus. Smoky, bacon goodness. And since asparagus is included, it must be good for you, right? The seaweed salad was well-seasoned. Tasty tempura, well-done dumplings, and al-dente ramen rounded out a great meal. Looking forward to trying more of the yakitori. So pleased to see another great addition to our neighborhood's restaurant scene.

5

Very impressive restaurant! Beautiful interior. The ramen is to die for , I ordered the Tonkostu (pork bone) ramen which was very tasty and flavorful! The service was awesome and staff is friendly. My new favorite place to get ramen.

5

An excellent addition to Plaza Midwood. We went before the grand opening and were very impressed. The food is served in small portions / tapas style. Excellent flavors!\n\nI understand the vibe and appreciate the Japanese drink selection but it would be great to see some local beers. The cocktail menu could use a little fine tuning, adding anything but Vodka! Yamazaki cocktails would be a great addition! \n\nLars was a great server!\n\nWe're excited to return!

5

We went to Izakaya during one of their first days open for cocktail hour and I have to say, I am THRILLED to have a cool Japanese bar in the neighborhood. I've been to many places in Charlotte that serve Japanese food with a variety of local craft brews, but this is the first place that seems to be aiming for a truly authentic Japanese experience. They have over ten styles of Japanese beers, Asian-influenced cocktails (Gin and Gingertini, YUM!), and the largest sake list I've seen. Our server was very helpful in walking us through the sake list, and recommended a delicious, dry sake that tasted miles beyond the sake I've had before.\n\nIn addition, the Miso ramen minus the fish cake/egg was delicious, and also vegan. Wakame salad made an excellent starter.\n\nThe restaurant is hip and traditional combined, the staff are happy, and the owners walk through the dining room to personally speak with you. I can see how Yama Asian Fusion is as successful as it is! \n\nVegans and vegetarians can find some food options after some tweaking, and that ramen was SO very good. I will probably find myself here after work quite often, lol.

5

Japanese tapas! I've been waiting for this place to open for weeks...my friends and I went on a Friday night and were immediately greeted and seated. It's really urban inside, with traditional Asian accents. The ropes separating the tables are a unique touch.\n\nOur sever was super friendly and informed us that they were still \"soft opening\", and let us know that they hadn't yet gotten their full inventory in, but would be continually adding new and exotic options in the future. Beer was almost all Japanese and I couldn't resist Sapporo on draft. They have a large sake list and I will definitely try some next time.\n\nEverything is family-style, meant to be shared, so you can feel free to try something you've never had before (Takoyaki, or octopus balls, WOW) and not feel like you committed to something you may not like. We had takoyaki, beef wrapped enoki mushrooms, gyoza, and Tonkatsu (pork broth) ramen, and it was so insanely good...like, REALLY good. It comes out randomly, but that's part of the fun. My partner and I placed bets on which items would come next, haha, it's a good game. All told,I can't believe they've only been open a few days. \n\nHere's to many more good nights!

4

Someone pinch me! I think I'm dreaming. The RAMEN here is out of this world amazing. We came here by searching on Yelp for Japanese food only to discover they had just opened and we hit the jackpot. Yes, that's right, Grand Opening Night! They had a complementary photo booth, free food samples and the only thing you had to pay for was your drinks. I will have to say, I ordered the full size portion of the chicken broth ramen and it was fantastic. The broth was seasoned to perfection and the noodles were also cooked to perfection (not overly cooked and not crunchy). I will have to say, I tried the Cucumber Saketini and it was not the best drink I've ever had. It was a bit watered down in flavor and weak on the alcohol. All of their cocktails are homemade on location, so I would suggest they perfect this drink a bit more before allowing it into the masses. I digress... They brought us a few skewers of shiitake mushrooms that were very tiny but full of flavor. I'd like to see larger sized mushrooms, but they were fantastic nevertheless. We were also given a few skewered peppers that were flavorful as well. I believe they are going to be really big, really quick! They just need to get on Open Table to make it easier to make reservations. \n\nThe decor is dark and authentic feeling. The ropes they have hanging between tables along the walls add a nautical feeling and I love it. The waitstaff are very friendly and accommodating. Abraham was our waiter and he was certainly top notch. This is definitely a go to place for a nice weekend treat!

It's great that Yama Izakaya opened up. Before, I had to travel to Musashi or NYC to get my ramen and JP bar food fix but now I can just come here when I visit the 704!\n\nI had the wasabi tako, takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and tonkotsu ramen. The takoyaki was the best out of all the selections and it was piping hot when it came out. The wasabi tako was good but I would have liked more sliced scallions on top. Okonomiyaki (pancake) was a bit small for the price ($12) but it tasted great. In terms of the ramen, yeah the bowl is somewhat large, but for $14, it was seriously lacking. The broth was tasty and the noodles seemed fresh. Even the amount of chashu was typical (2 slices). BUT I've been to better ramen bars with more toppings (nori, scallions, naruto, etc) and better made chashu for $10-11. Also, \"shio\" ramen actually refers to \"salt,\" not chicken as mentioned on their menu. Call me a ramen snob, but whatevs.\n\nI also had Orion and Hana Awaka Sake. I recommend the Hana Awaka if you like the sweeter side of things. I wanted the Fukucho but they ran out (on their opening weekend? what tha....).\n\nSo bar food - delicious, ramen - left to be desired, drinks - good selection, service - good. A bit more westernized than I would have liked but they do have the hi-tech Japanese toilet that spits out water.

2

Decor very cute, swanky. Service 5 star!!! Drinks unique and excellent. Yelling at staff head chef....yep they got one!! Lamb lollipops the size of actual lollipops....6 dollars each....that's there too.....!!?? Family style dishes for sharing....that won't fill a bird.....yikes. its tapas... so dont go if you are hungry or make sure it's payday....I won't be back unless I am meeting someone for drinks. Im going for dinner where I get a meal after a long hard day.

4

Must try the pork ramen! The broth is out of this world. Was not a fan of the pancake...too fishy for me. Great atmosphere. The sake nigori and the blueberry mojitos were delicious. I'm going to introduce everyone I know to this place!

3

sigh. SIIIIIIGH. \n\nSo completely average. I couldn't decide between 2 \"Meh. I've experienced better.\" stars and 3 \"A-OK\" because while I HAVE experienced better, Yama should get points for even offering its menu items in Charlotte.\n\nI had the takoyaki aka octopus balls (good), tori kara-age aka fried chicken bits (not good), potato croquettes (bad), miso ramen (okay), and shio ramen (bad).\n\nIf you have had the pleasure of eating ramen in LA or NY, check your expectations before coming here. The broth and noodles here don't even compare to... to even a Ippudo. But the prices do.\n\nI doubt I will be returning. If I save the money I would spend on 10 Yama trips, I could just fly to NY and eat good ramen. #math #superreasonable

4

It's definitely the best tonkotsu ramen you'll get in Charlotte, I found it to be the closest to what I have had on my trips to Tokyo. Takoyaki was also good, in fact everything we had was good, though I wish the tempura was more traditional (kabocha and sweet potato this time of year would have been a bonus, instead of onion). We'll definitely be going back, it's on our short list of fave places now. Service was speedy/friendly as well!

1

Shocked by all these good reviews. We thought the food was terrible and the atmosphere cold. It's a shame since we love the original in South Park.

2

I was really excited when I heard there was a new ramen place in town, but I guess I had too high of expectations for this place.\n\nWhen I first arrived, I thought that the atmosphere was really great and the decorations were pretty awesome. I sat at a table where there were ropes hanging from the ceiling to the bottom separating us from the other table. I thought it was pretty cool. The lighting in there was dim, so it felt like a great intimate place for a date, or just a small group of friends.\n\nThe ramen was what I was excited about, but the their Small Bites were what was amazing to me. Definitely try the Ika Geso (fried squid tenticles), Takoyaki (fried octopus ball) and Hamachi Jalapenos. The Tuna Salad is pretty wicked as well! If you go there, TRY THE SMALL BITES!!! Now as for their ramen, it's a different story. I had ordered the Tonkostu Ramen and asked for it to be spicy. I did not taste any spiciness in it or did I really taste any flavor as it was very bland. It really made me sad that it was bland.\n\nThe service here was really nice. I quite enjoyed our waiter as he was friendly and very patient to explain things when we weren't sure what it was that we were ordering or wanted more of an explanation.\n\nI know I want to give this place another try in the future, and I hope that when I do, they step up their ramen game.

3

I'm no Japanese food connoisseur, but I can tell you the food at Yama was quite nice. Because it's all tapas style, we got to try quite a few dishes. From the shrimp dumplings and popcorn chicken to the cumin lamb skewers, shishito pepper skewers and bowl of ramen, all of the food tasted pretty good. An Izakaya is a pub like joint - and Yama is quite like that, except may be a tad bit more sophisticated than a pub. It's dimly lit, casual, somewhat noisy, the service is good and quick, quite a few food options and some good beer and sake choices (along with a full bar) on the menu. I don't think the food was necessarily authentic or unique by any means, but as pub food - it was good & nothing to complain about. A fair rating would be closer to 3.5 than 3. It's a fun new place worth checking out, especially with a group of friends on a Friday or Saturday evening.

3

Sigh... I so want to give this place 5 stars!! I love Yama Asian Fusian in South Park and I had really high expectations of their new restaurant. We came not long after they opened with the intent on trying some small bites and getting some ramen.\n\nSmall bites first: \n\nButa Kakuni (pork belly) this was really good. Cooked well but I prefer mine crispier on the outside. This was a little on the soggy side. Just a personal preference though, taste wise it was good!\n\nThe hamachi jalepenos were probably a 3-4/5 stars. I adore yellowtail but this pretty much left me underwhelmed.\n\nGyu Tataki (seared steak) was probably the best thing I ate all night!! Seriously I could eat nothing but a meal of this and some rice... very well seasoned and perfectly cooked.\n\nOkonomiyaki (japanese pancake) I have no idea if this was how it was supposed to taste because I did not like it at all!! My friends said it was pretty good though. \n\nSoba w/Anago minus the anago lol... This was a good dish however we got it about 10-15 minutes after we finished eating. \n\nGyoza was standard\n\nRamen: I was not impressed. The noodles didn't seem to be cooked properly and were clumping together and not very slurpable (new word lol). The quality and flavor just seemed to be off. It definitely was not enough to get us to come there for ramen versus Musashi's. \n\nOverall I would have given this place 4 stars except the service we had was actually kind of terrible. The guy managing the house was one of the servers from Yama and I remember him well. However he seemed overwhelmed. Again they are new so I was cutting them some slack. We needed a table for 3 and he said it would be a few minute wait for a table to leave and be cleared off so we went to the bar. A table left and no one had cleaned it off but they appeared busy. Another couple came in and a waitress went up to them and attempted to give them the table we were waiting on. At this point we'd been waiting for about 15 minutes staring at an empty dirty table for 10 of those minutes so we were a little peeved. I went up to her and said we've been waiting for that table for 10 minutes. The manager put our names on the list and she just completely ignored it. There were 2 person tables along the wall as well. She got really defensive and kind of nasty with me, again losing points. Our waiter came by eventually and could 100% not be bothered with us. He was not happy to be waiting on us and I think he may have been ill. He would disappear for long long stretches of time and it took FOREVER to get through this meal. About halfway through the meal after he had to go put a few of our items in for order because he forgot I saw him bookbag/takeout bag in hand leaving the restaurant. He never once told us he was leaving or said a word to us. Just left... The guy who took over was nice but clearly had not been updated on the tables. Again our previous waiter had supposedly put the rest of our order in and hadn't. Honestly with the service the way it was I'd give a normal restaurant 1 star... However I know the standards by which their other restaurant runs and I'm hoping this is just new restaurant issues that will be resolved. If I'm in the area I may stop in again for some small bites but will probably skip the ramen.

First time trying Yama Izakaya and went with a group, two of whom had been once before. Waitress was fantastic, very friendly and attentive. When we inquired about gluten-free options, we were informed YI does not have any, and we were told this isn't an oversight, but rather the owner is anti-gluten-free. Meaning, he is one of those people who doesn't believe Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities are actually a \"thing\". Not a great start...\n\nMost of the group ordered noodle soup dishes and thought they were fine, but not good enough to patronize the establishment again. One of the group, the GF member, ordered teriyaki chicken, even though they knew it wasn't GF, but it was the best we could do... The chicken pieces were HORRIBLE, chewy, rubbery and gristly, and worse than you would expect from the cheapest, greasiest Chinese take-out place. \n\nTo be clear, YI doesn't even offer a GF noodle option, much less GF soy sauce. Rice noodles would be such an easy option for a restaurant such as YI to offer, but first the owner would have to care about GF guests. \n\nNeedless to say, we won't be returning.

Update: I've been informed that apparently the ramen DOES come with more than just broth. It's really a shame that the menu or servers don't explain that to patrons. All other menu items have details about each dish. The menu description for the ramen clearly just says \"broth.\" At any rate, now I don't feel like returning to spend additional money after my somewhat disappointing first experience.

We dined here for my boyfriends birthday a few days ago and we were highly disappointed with the food. The miso ramen had a rank, overly fishy taste and smell making it inedible. The pork ramen was okay, but it also had an unpleasant, spoiled taste to it as well. Overall I would say that the food is overpriced and poorly executed. Soul gastrolounge down the street is a much better option for both ramen and tapas.

Nt thrilled with dinner. I'd give the staff a 5 because there were really great but the food was not impressive. Apparently they are known for their Ramen noodles, should have ordered that. Very heavy on the grilled meat and lots of pork used in many dishes. The grilled whole squid tasted like fishy rubber bands so I asked for more lemon to help get it down. The asparagus wrapped in beef was good but entirely to difficult to eat the way it was served, with chop sticks. I had to pull it apart with my fingers since the 'bite sized portion' was three times the size for a normal bite. I was really hoping for more from this place. We were also shocked at the price they are charging for their food.

It's great to have Japanese restaurant that isn't sushi or hibachi or a Japanese steakhouse. They have Hitachino Nest White Ale on tap, which I didn't even know was possible. \n\nWe ordered takoyaki, okonomiyaki, gyoza, and ebi shumai. You can definitely share and make a meal out of the small plates. And that's what you would do at an izakaya in Japan. \n\nTakoyaki and okonomiyaki both came drizzled with sauce, mayonnaise, and topped with bonito fish flakes. They were excellent! Takoyaki was nicely grilled on the outside but soft on the inside. Also very hot, so you know it's fresh. Okonomiyaki was tasty, but not as thick with tons of cabbage as I would like. Still, this is the only place in Charlotte that has it and it was good with crispy bacon on the bottom. \n\nGyoza were crispy on the bottom, and dumpling skins were tender without falling apart. My boyfriend didn't enjoy the ebi shumai as much but I think they were comparable to what I've had in Japan. \n\n To cap it all off, the ladies room has a heated toilet seat with a washlet. \n\nI will definitely be going back to try the ramen!

The food was alright, but nothing really stood out. We had the Spicy Miso, which was zero spicy, and a handful of the \"small bite\" appetizers. Nothing was bad, but again, nothing was really good.\n\nThe waitstaff was really annoying, and we didn't really have just one waiter. There was about 4 or 5 different people that constantly checked on our table, each bringing us/refilling our waters without asking. Usually this is something I'm for, but at one point we had 12 glasses of water for 6 people at our table. Instead of taking away the empty cups, the random waiters just continued to fill them.\n\nThis is also one of those places that doesn't write your order down, and they attempt to memorize everything. Some places do it well, however this is not one of those places. We had to remind our waitress a handful of times about missing items that she forgot to put in, and they brought us wrong food twice.

I've been here a total of 4 times. I'm not sure I'll ever go back.\n\nVisit #1 - They were most recently opened and my BF and I were anxious to try on a weekend evening. We walked in and waited about 5 mins for anyone to even acknowledge our presence. They were fairly busy and seemed short staffed but I could see open table so surely they would seat right away. Once we were greeted we were told it would be about 5 or 10 mins for a table to be ready. As we were starving we left to go elsewhere.\n\nVisit #2 - Came in with a party of 5 and were seated right away on a Friday night around 7pm. Our waiter asked if it was our first time (it was for all of us) and he proceeded to give us a brief but informative rundown of the menu and took our questions and answered them expertly. I had bacon wrapped asparagus and a drink special. Very Yum! Everyone was very pleased with the service and quality of the dishes. \n\nVisit #3 - Me and the BF came back a few weeks later on a weeknight. Our waiter once again asked us if we wanted a rundown of the menu and we declined as we were both in the mood for Ramen (he had gotten it previously and loved it). This was was the best thing I can remember eating as of late. So much flavor I didn't want to stop eating. I was unable to finish but I was also glad I had enough left over to eat again the next day. We were promptly provide with to-go soup containers to transport our delicious broth and noodles home.\n\nVisit #4 - It is bitterly cold out this winter and I promised the BF I'd grab some Ramen and bring it home for dinner so we could enjoy it bundled up on the couch. I walked in today and was greeted promptly as the restaurant was empty at 5:30pm on a weekday. This is how the conversation went with the Hostess ...\n\nMe: Hi, Yes ... I'd like to place a take-out order please.\nYama: Oh, we don't do that.\nMe: I can't place an order to take with me?\nYama: No, our plates are very small and we just don't do that.\nMe: But I've been here before an taken my left overs home in a container.\nYama: Yeah, we can't do that. But you can sit at the bar and have a drink.\nMe: Um, no thanks ... I'll figure something else out.\n\nHOW/WHY WOULD YOU REFUSE A PAYING CUSTOMER THAT WANTS TO BUY YOUR FOOD AND LEAVE YOU A TIP FOR PREPARING THE ORDER THAT WOULD MOST CERTAINLY COME BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN ... NOT TO MENTION HAS BEEN TELLING EVERYONE SHE KNOWS HOW GOOD THE PLACE IS?!\n\nNeedless to say, I'm extremely frustrated and disappointed. Really had my heart set on some Ramen but went to Fuel pizza instead (which was super friendly and very delicious).

Really good food, quick, clean and many gluten free options! Highly recommend this place, would've given 5 stars if the staff was friendlier in talking to me about the GF options.

What a great option when looking for a quick meal that's healthy and delicious. I plan on making this a regular stop. The chicken lettuce wraps were delicious, fresh and so healthy. I love the avocado and the cucumber salad and rice noodles that were part of this delicious mix. I don't drink soft drinks (my weak attempt at being healthy) but they had several great choices of fresh brewed teas my favorite was raspberry Hibiscus sweetened with stevia, so wonderful. My husband had a rice bowl with spicy Dragon sauce; I think for the average person this would be spicy for us it was flavorful, but still good. All and all Tokyo Joe's had many choices and we can't wait to go back to try them all! Best of luck to this business in this new location!

Tokyo Joes caught my eye even before it opened. It is located in a convenient shopping center in Ahwatukee right next to Sams club and other places I go to often. I was excited to see that a healthy \"eat good, feel good\" Asian restaurant was opening. My bf and I tried it yesterday and we were not disappointed. The modern decor inside was very appealing and their menu had me struggle on what to order because everything sounded so good. We went with the Yakitori bowl and upgraded to the \"Big\" size to share. We also ordered the Cali Tare Tare sushi roll and a drink which all came out to $20 even. Not bad. The taste is a little less flavorful than most typical asian dishes, probably due to the health factor, but adding chili powder or sriracha did the trick. We went around 4:40pm with not many other customers there so our food came out in less than 10 minutes. Super fresh and yummy. Will definitely come back to try more.

For a fast Japanese type place this place was really good. This was my first time here and I had the basic teriyaki sauce with chicken (I know...how original and adventurous...). The dish came with lots of vegetablesthat were done perfectly. I would definitely come back when I'm up for a fast but tasty meal!

A bunch of people from my office were ordering it, so I decided to partake. I had an udon noodle bowl with green curry. Very, very mediocre food. I don't understand how that can be called curry. Their noodles were extremely watery. I would not recommend their food if you're looking for taste.

If high quality, healthy food at affordable prices is what you're looking for look no further. This is a nice addition to Arizona as it combines all of the things you love about Chipotle (fast service, streamlined menu, quality ingredients) with what you love about asian cuisine (ramen, sushi). The value is great as they have monthly specials which currently include a $9 combo of a big bowl of ramen, half a sushi roll, and a drink. When you join their online club you'll get additional specials like free starters or BOGO meals on specified days. The food itself is very tasty and the sushi was better than I expected with some interesting roll creations. \n\nThey're definitely still working out the kinks of a new staff but the management has been very good each time I've been. On my last visit the manager came over and apologized profusely for us waiting a long time for our food and made things right. It might have been the difference between us coming back or not and she did a great job. \n\nIf you're looking for a quick lunch or dinner and haven't been here yet, definitely give it a shot.
