A: Like myself, I'm sure a lot of people would like to enjoy a bowl of soupy noodles after a night of partying and drinking in Las Vegas. Well, in that case, maybe the cost is worth it? But in general, mehh sorry, not my type of pho... With that cost, I could get twice the amount and flavor at Pho LA, but then again, it's a restaurant in a hotel in Vegas... Oh the spring rolls are too tiny for that cost, also, they have this funky herby flavor in them that I don't normally find in spring rolls at other Vietnamese restaurants. Next time, I'm going to the Food Court.

Q: negative

A: Small club with a line outside and the cover is too high. There was a wait outside but when we got in the club was probably half full. I know a lot of places do this but it is definitely annoying. Music was good if you like new and old school hip hop. I'd consider this a mid to low level club now compared to the rest.

Q: negative

A: Holy cow... we had the worst experience here! The one up in Surprise was a million times better! First of all, we walked in with a party of four on a Friday night and they looked at us like we were crazy. The lovely gal up front asked if we had a reservation, and of course we did not. They weren't very busy at all for a Friday night, but she acted as if they were completely swamped. She informed us that it would be a 20 minute wait like it was the end of the world, but of course to us that seemed very reasonable. I guess we're just used to going to busier restaurants on the weekends? Anyway, the wait actually took over 45 minutes--definitely more than double her initial guess. Whatever, we were able to grab a few drinks before happy hour was over so we were happy. The bar was actually the busiest part of the restaurant, and their service was fast and friendly. However, the rest of the place definitely took away from our positive initial experience there. We were finally seated in the normal dining area and had the slowest, most forgetful waiter ever. I also noticed that the Hibachi area of the restaurant had barely anyone in it, so maybe that's why it took so long to get in. Everyone was trying to get into the smaller, normal restaurant section! :P We just wanted a nice regular meal with a regular waiter that night, but unfortunately our experience wasn't so great. We all asked for waters, and the waiter brought one. Gee, thanks. Communal water? LOL. He also kept forgetting things we'd ask for, so we actually had to ask other waiters/waitresses on THREE separate occasions for things that our waiter didn't bring. We would've reminded him, but he seemed to disappear for long periods of time after forgetting things. He also seemed to know whenever we were complaining about him, because he would show up immediately after. 6th sense for unhappy customers? :) Now, for the food... I had seafood kabobs, and they were okay. However, two of us had scallops in our meals and they were not cooked correctly. I know it's hard to cook them correctly, but these were just bad. The rest wasn't bad, but nothing great either... especially for the price. Oh, I think the biggest part that bothered me was the location of the restrooms. It was right next to the kitchen, so it was constantly busy with waiter traffic. This is fine, but the attitude of said traffic was what bothered me. The first time, three waiters almost ran into me on my trip to the restroom. They just looked at me as if I was in the wrong place, and of course I said "excuse me." They didn't say anything... just looked at me and went around. On my second trip to the restroom, three waiters/waitresses were standing in the hallway just talking to one another, blocking the entire walkway. I walked up and stood there, finally saying "Excuse me, I have to get to the restroom." One girl moved to the side a little bit, but the guy standing in the middle had his arms crossed with his elbows sticking way out and didn't even acknowledge me. I had to maneuver around his impertinent elbows in order to fit through the tiny gap the one kind waitress had made for me. Basically, I was thinking "WTF?!" When we were done eating, after we had paid the bill, we then realized that we had been there for over 3.5 hours. Ridiculous! The service was extremely slow and mostly unfriendly, the food wasn't good for the price we paid, and we just ended up being pissed off in general after leaving. This was our first trip to this Hayashi, but we wanted to try it out after having so many fantastic experience up at the Surprise location. I guess the name is the only thing these 2 locations have in common.

Q: positive

On the way to The Farmhouse in Gilbert a couple of weeks ago, we stumbled onto Biscuits. Being from the South, I'm always down for biscuits and gravy, so we decided to check out this cute, barn-themed restaurant. It was a little to shiny to actually exist on a farm, but welcoming, none the less. The restaurant is very clean and open and the service was friendly. We were sat immediately and received drink orders before we could decide on anything from the delicious looking menu. There were definitely some good ol' southern favorites, like grits and corned beef hash, but there were also a few chorizo options and a Portuguese sausage that my boyfriend ordered. I went for the corned beef hash, scrambled eggs, hash browns and added sausage gravy to my biscuit. Make sure you go hungry! I couldn't even dream of finishing everything I ordered, but I made sure to it all. Crispy hash browns, fluffy eggs, and big chunks of corned beef mixed with potatoes, peppers and onions. The sausage gravy was perfectly thick, but could possibly have used a bit more sausage (what can I say, I'm a meat lover!). The only thing that brings it down to 4 stars was the biscuit. It was definitely good, but more bready than flaky. More like a stirred mix than an kneaded dough with the goodness of flaky layers. And, being their namesake, I do think that part is pretty important. We were plenty stuffed and we'll definitely go back because there aren't many places with corned beef hash that didn't come out of a can. Also, they have good service, which is hard to come by. On another note, they offer a military discount to any active or inactive duty military, which is wonderful to see because it's just something small that companies can do to give thanks to people who willingly put their lives on the line every day. I can support that.
