Q: Let's talk about the hidden gem that is Shiki. Ok, maybe not hidden for some but for a girl who lives on the outskirts of Uptown-this is definitely hidden! I would have never known about this place if it weren't for Living Social and their kick a** deal of $25 worth of sushi and other food. I went with another Yelper tonight and taken aback by this place. You would never expect a nice place like this in the Wal-Mart shopping center. High ceilings with lots of booths on the side and tables in the middle. This place had quite a crowd for a Friday night. Right when we sat, our server greeted us and got our drink orders. Lets talk drinks. Beers for $2.25 and $3 and glasses of wine for $3.95. And they are verrrrrry generous with the wine pours. Get I get a hallelujah??!! I figured with the hooch being cheap they would mark up the price of their sushi but oh no, this is cheap sushi haven! None of the rolls are over $10 and a majority of them are $5 or $6 with a generous portion.They also have traditional Japanese hibachi dishes but I really didn't even look too much into that since when there is sushi, I'm a girl on a mission. Let's talk sushi. We got the Volcano Roll, California Crunchy, Spicy Tuna and another roll -the name escapes me and hello beautiful, bountiful sushi! Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor and again, generous with the portions. I was definitely not expecting that!! Four rolls came out to about $26-not too shabby at all! I originally thought it would take a half hour to get to Shiki since I'm so used to my neighborhood and love the convenience of it. But it took less than 10 minutes to get to so if you're in Uptown, it's definitely a short trip! Also, they have awesome mints-just strong enough to wipe out the taste of wasabi. I would much rather go to Shiki and pay for sushi than go somewhere that's overpriced where you're paying more for the atmosphere than the sush.

Q: Ive been coming here since day one and I continue to go. Ive eaten ramen at some of the top ramen houses in the U.S., Momofuku, Yamadaya, Tat-Suya, Oiister, Zen 6, Momi and have to say that Umami satisfies the need. Every time I visit Umami I seem to bring another person and the reaction is always positve. I tend to be the type of person who eats the same thing so I get paitan, charsu, pork belly, soft egg, togarashi corn, kimchi, no spinach, no carrots, extra nori, extra naruto. The atmosphere is fun, the decor is great. Ive gone with dozens and by myself and service is always great. Drinks are reasonable and the price of a bowl of ramen isn't outside of the norm. Just my $0.02

Q: My sister ended up buying her dress from here but I was the one doing all the work. They did not have any dress's pulled even though we had picked a ton of dresses online prior to our visit. Staff was not good and very unprofessional looking employees. Do not go to the PV location go somewhere else.

Q: First time at Carl's in over 25 years. Ordered the Jalapeno Burger meal 1/3 pound for $9.95. While I waited I noticed music videos playing. Annoying to me but probably popular with most. My lunch arrived in 4 minutes. The fries were hot and crisp, the bun was fresh and the veggies (lettuce, tomatoes, onion, jalapenos) were all crisp and cool. I don't know what sauce they put on it but it complimented the sandwich perfectly. I recommend this Carl's for quality food, fast, friendly service and good value.
