Problem: What a disappointment!!! Tried this place bc my fav sushi joint wasn't open when I had the craving. My fellow Yelpers have been quite trustworthy so far, but I'm afraid I was "deceived" by the sooooooooooooo unworthy-4star rating this place had. What's going on Yelpers??? We were there for early dinner so only 2 tables were occupied. Service was not friendly at all, from the Chef to the waiter and waitress. Most importantly, the fishes weren't fresh and most of their rolls are terrible...simply terrible with just too much sauce to cover up the bad smelly fish. Brian, if you are gonna put your own name as the restaurant's name, then plz represent your name more proudly with something ppl would wanna remember you by...plz consider this as a constructive criticism bc I don't "lash" out for no reason.

Problem: I have to wonder if struggling businesses (and just have to assume this one is) ever check on Yelp to see what they're doing wrong. Maybe if they did they would realize what customers don't want. 1. They don't want a large t.v. right over the outside of the entrance door blasting commercials when they approach. 2. They don't want to be greeted by a sour smell of a dirty restaurant when they walk in. 3. They do want to be greeted by an employee when they walk in and a little direction- be right with you, take a seat anywhere, etc. 4. They don't want to look around and see several unbused tables, trash on the floor, etc. 5. They don't want to sit down and have their elbows adhere to a sticky table. 6. They don't want to listen to radio stations, with their annoying commercials, for ambiance. Pay the extra bucks for commercial free music. 7. And they never want to wonder if the a/c is broken because it's so miserably hot in here. So you're probably wondering, owner, why we stayed after all that but we really do want to support local businesses so were determined to stick it out. Maybe the food was fabulous and it would all be worth it. But, sadly, the food was the nail in the coffin. The pizza could only be described as revolting at best. Just recently a Peter Piper Pizza went out of business across and was wondering if you somehow scooped up their ingredients at a discount. Someone on here described the dough as a wet sponge and that pretty much summed it up. Add canned tomatoes and extremely low quality cheese and you have yourself a lukewarm hot mess. The other issue is your restaurant has an identity crisis. At the ceiling is the loft feel with exposed pipes and these strange industrial lights that illuminate all the dust up there and make you feel like you're being interrogated. Below that is the Tuscan wall mural attempting to give the feel of an Italian bistro. Then you throw in several LARGE t.v.'s all tuned to different stations. Continue on down and it's modern furniture. So it's a industrial, Tuscan, sports bar with pizza in their name. I'm confused. Have to say the server was sweet and we felt a bit sorry for her. It was her second day on the job and she was answering phones, waiting on tables and bar tending. There didn't appear to be a manager or owner on site. The only other employee appeared to be the cook (sorry, just can't call him a chef....see pizza description above). And they seemed to be confused as to which of them was supposed to clear the tables as all the dirty ones we saw coming in remained that way the entire time we were there. So, Mr or Ms Owner, you already blew your chance for a repeat customer with us but maybe you can save the next one.

Problem: I've been waiting for this to open for a while - finally real Chinese food in the green valley area. Unfortunately their dim sum was a huge disappointment. We went around 11am on a Saturday. Decent sized menu but not a great selection of dim sum. We just got siu mai, hargow, char siu bao, shrimp w rice noodle, and some mushroom thing - think it was mushroom caps stuffed with pork and baked. Most of it was mediocre, but the hargow and shrimp rice noodle may have been made from spoiled shrimp. They were pretty small and had an off sour taste. Both dishes are basically just shrimp and rice noodles so the sour flavor couldn't have been anything but the shrimp. Fingers crossed that none of us get sick. The fried rice was pretty good, if a little pricey at $9. It had great curry flavor, not spicy but with a little bit of a kick. The egg was cooked all the way thru so there was no yolk to mix up with the rice, but I still liked it. I'm happy to have an option when I just don't feel like driving to Chinatown, but I definitely won't get their dim sum again. A huge pet peeve for me at Asian restaurants is places that don't mention that they charge for things that are generally free - rice or tea. I don't know anywhere else In town that charges for tea, but fyi its $2.50 for a pot here.

Problem: There is nothing quite like Persian food; it is complex, delicious and sometimes like nothing you've ever tasted. Apart from dad's kitchen and sit-down places in Tempe and Scottsdale, there are limited places to find it in the Valley. Do yourself a favor and don't order a gyro; you can find one anywhere. Order one of the daily specials at their crazy cheap prices for Persian food and enjoy! I've had nearly all of them and they rock! These dishes take all day to make; believe me I know and you can taste why. And do not miss the saffron ice cream with rose water and pistachios.
