When they say floor, they mean it!! They have a wide selection, and their price on what I needed was 30% less than their competitors. Will definitely be back...

I've been here no less than 10 times (a pertinent fact for this review). Prior to my last visit, this was always a 4-star place for me. They are very veg*n-friendly, and offer numerous veggie options, as well as Gardein options, which is a popular and yummy vegan protein manufacturer. It was a great place for taking family and/or friends because there is something for everyone. I suggest going during Happy Hour: M-F, 3pm-6pm; M-Thur, 10pm-close. You get 1/2 off of certain appetizers (and it's not just a few; there's a nice list from which to choose) and discounts off of sliders and other items. Otherwise, it's over-priced. They have drink specials too, but I don't drink so I'm not familiar with those offerings. My favorites are the Gardein Firecracker and Buffalo "wings" and the Gardein sliders (all available during HH). My order is a constant rotation of these three things; always. When we visited this past Friday night, we ordered the Gardein Firecracker wings, Gardein Sliders, and there was a new appetizer that I decided to try: Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts were uneven in their preparation. 1/2 of the Brussels Sprouts were quite undercooked; the other 1/2 were delicious and melted in your mouth, but not crispy, as the name implies. The potatoes in this dish were indeed crispy (and flavorful). My Gardein Firecracker wings came to my table and did not look like Firecracker wings at all. They were sauceless pieces of Gardein with a side sauce. I tasted the sauce and I didn't know what it was. It took a while before our server returned. He said he'd written down Jerk wings, which I've never ordered. Ever. I advised him that I wanted Firecracker Gardein wings. His face went a little sour, but he took the plate back for a re-do. My Gardein Sliders came out with cheese. This was my fault. I hadn't been here in a few months and had forgotten that they come with cheese because it is NOT listed in the description on their menu. Our waiter took this plate back as well to be remade. They really should revise their menu to include a thorough description of their food items. The Firecracker wings come back and some of them seem to be shaped a bit differently than the normal Gardein wings. I bit into one and it was weird... I inspected it and found that it was real animal flesh. After having already complained too much for my own liking, I flagged down the waiter and advised that I had been given real chicken instead of Gardein. He stated that it was Gardein because of the special stick that was put in the dish, and that their Gardein is surprisingly chicken-like. His assumption that I didn't know the difference, or that I was a Yard House noob angered me even more. THEN he proceeded to bring over a different waiter, saying that the new guy would be taking over because he had a plane to catch at 10pm and he had to go. 1 - it was already almost 10:15pm (as my DD immediately pointed out). 2 - When we were leaving, @ 45 minutes later, he was still there. My conclusion: So he's a habitual liar? I didn't ask for a manager. I didn't ask for the items to be removed from my $50 bill. I didn't stiff him on a tip (although it was substantially smaller than I would've normally given). But I won't return to this location. I'll proceed to the Fashion Square Mall or Glendale location when I need my Yard House fix.

This place is the jam! The food was good and our chef was great! It was refreshing to see some new "tricks" during the presentation, instead of the same old tired stuff. I'm going back tonight and I expect it will be fabulous again! Oh, and the prices felt cheaper than other hibachi places in town!

With not many Japanese options over here in the Centennial area - Sushi Loca is my savior. They have great deals on their lunch specials- for a little over $8.00 you get rice, salad, miso soup, gyoza, and 2 choices of either chicken karage, chicken,beef or salmon teriyaki, shrimp or veggie tempura or pork\chicken katsu. I like the salad dressing here- it's like an orange ginger citrus dressing- Yummy!!! A real positive is that the chicken katsu is made with chicken breast- I just wish the chicken karage was made using chicken breast as well.... Last night the BF and I decided to try some sushi rolls- Taste like my ex-girlfriend, Jackpot and Japanese Lasagna #2 - All were yummy and filling.... The Japanese Lasagna #2 was only different from a regular Japanese Lasagna roll because they added scallops under all the gooey ooey eel sauce and cream cheese- Yeah Boy!!!!! Good Stuff!!! ***So, here's a little tid bit for parents of kids who are of reading age - pretty much all the rolls listed on the menu and the t-shirts of the sushi chefs all say phrases that leave kid's asking "Why does it say that?" So, be ready to honestly explain or pretty much lie - you're the parent , it's up tp you. But, they will ask!!!*** I like the decor in here - it's trendy but still comfortable. Thank Heavens Sushi Loca is near my work or I don't know what I would do....
