An example of an negative review: Went here to eat tonight for dinner. Our fault for coming right in the middle of dinner rush but didn't think the wait would be too bad as we sat in the bar area. It took a good 15 minutes before we were acknowledged. The olive oil without our bread was the first red flag. More than 5 minutes later possibly more our bread came. Our drinks arrived 20 minutes after that. We were there a good hour before we actually got our entrees and the icing on the cake were the people who sat down behind us a good 30-40 minutes after we arrived got their food first. We ordered fettuccine Alfredo and pasta Milano. The waiter asked if we would like Parmesan and I stupidly said yes. I watched him go to get it but also watched him stop at two other tables and do other things in the process. A manager came over apologizing because he understood we waited so long for our food. I can only assume our food was sitting the pass forever before the waiter brought it to us. And the manager took less time to go get Parmesan but by the time he got back, our waiter finally remembered to come back with it. Again, I understand that they were busy and I know they are running around constantly but this was ridiculous. It just seemed like our waiter wasn't too concerned with how long we were waiting. Two stars for the manager caring more. The people sitting at the actual bar were getting better service!! Update 5/14: just found out that this place has closed.

An example of an positive review: Note: I only give out 5 stars to restaurants that are EXCEPTIONAL, best-in-class establishments. Oh, how I truly wish I could give Stick E Rice 5 stars! If I could grant this place 4.5 stars, I would quickly and happily do so. I spent the last few minutes debating this review with my wife, who is absolutely convinced that Stick E Rice deserves 5 stars. This restaurant has several strong points. Their service is truly amazing. Every time I have come here, I have had the pleasure of being served by the same waitress, whose friendly greetings and smiles make me feel like a member of her family. The waitstaff is always on point, from timing courses well to clearing used dishes promptly. Drink refills are typically not an issue, unless you're only drinking water (but they never leave you wanting for a refill). The reason for this is that soft drinks are served ice cold in cans, accompanied by cold glasses filled with ice. I know that restaurants typically may profit more from serving soft drinks in cans, but I feel that better establishments provide fountain drinks with free refills. I ordered the potstickers as an appetizer, and they are VERY tasty and lack the excessive "doughiness" served by so many other restaurants. I don't know if they're homemade, but I can tell you that surely you can't go wrong in placing an order for them. I typically order from the lunch special menu, so my meal is accompanied by a complimentary soup. The egg drop soup is tasty, and served in an attractive cup with a side of crispy chow mein "chips." I once had a rendition of the hot and sour soup, and I honestly have to say that it needs much work to resemble a true Chinese hot and sour soup. The main courses are always flavorful. The portions may seem small, but upon finishing my order I am always very satisfied. The pepper steak, orange chicken, pad thai and mixed vegetable options are wonderful entrees. My wife's regular favorite entree is the "mixed vegetables with added shrimp." You simply must leave room for dessert! Stick E Rice offers a dessert called "Stick E Mango" that is absolutely a must-have! We order it every time we come here. Every time. The sticky rice is formed in sushi-sized pieces, and bear the almost banana-like sweetened flavor of coconut. Each order is seemingly bombarded with sliced mango! The mango has always been sweet and succulent; I have never had the unpleasantness of biting into a more green or hardened slice of mango. The mango is drizzled with a sweetened coconut "caramel." I absolutely cannot fathom why anyone could possibly review Stick E Rice with less than a 3-star rating! Sure, the menu may not be perfectly Thai; this restaurant has more of a Thai-Chinese fusion offering, but this combination serves to offer its clientele more choices and even a more familiar option for the less brave. The menu is also somewhat customizable to personal taste and spiciness preference. To maybe receive a 5-star rating: 1. Serve fountain drinks with free refills. Even if free refills are not offered, at least, do not serve the soft drinks in cans! That's what I would expect at a home BBQ, not at a nicer restaurant. At a minimum, to preserve the appearance of "freshness," the soft drinks could be served in unopened, chilled glass bottles. I still prefer and strongly recommend the fountain drink option for cost effectiveness and "friendliness" when serving very spicy food that may need to be frequently washed down. 2. The restroom is very clean and spacious, but one must pass the register area and the doorway to the kitchen in order to access the restroom. I understand that this is a small business, but the area near the register should be kept clutter-free. I saw stacks of various papers, mail and other things which gave the appearance of an "amateur" business. Clean that area up, especially if it's visible to clients. The kitchen is quite clean from what I could see. Then again, I shouldn't be able to see into the kitchen. Due to design limitations, a door is an unsafe option, but perhaps a sheer curtain or something may be put up to obscure the customer's view into the cooking area, and to somewhat muffle the noise coming from the kitchen into the dining area. I don't know what options are available, but that's not my job, is it? 3. Move the music system to the back counter, out of sight. At a minimum, hide the speaker wires or install some recessed or wireless speakers. 4. Refine the menu more (i.e. hot and sour soup).

An example of an negative review: It's been about 3 weeks since this incident happen, I wish I could say it improved, but it didn't, it got much worse. After we finally got in touch with Mr. Olson, he apologized and tried to blame it on the supplier saying they mismarked the ring, even though the last time we had spoken with somoeone it was because of a "bad employee". They agreed to replace the ring from the supplier, yet last Friday, they informed my husband they just got the materials and the ring would be done shortly ( they made the ring, big mistake). The ring was such poor quality , that I actually laughed when I saw it. Their were scorch marks around the crooked channel set diamonds. The wave actually covered part of the diamond. I was livid! I took the ring to another jeweler, because Mr. Olson had agreed to allow an outside appraisal event hough they did their own (that was a joke). The other jeweler I took the ring to was appalled by the quality of the ring. She said the scorch marks on the ring were from them trying to solder the diamonds in. She also saw bubbles in the platinum along with the crooked channel setting. I took the ring back to Mr. Olson right after speaking with the other jeweler, and he didn't understand why I was so upset. He finally admitted to seeing the wave in the ring and heard him discuss it with his jeweler about the quality. He tried to tell me that they were rushed and then the reason they couldn't order another ring was because it was an "Estate ring" (this was new)......Finally he offered me a refund "Because I obviously can't make you happy", well no you can't if you provide poor service and poor quality materials. Its extremely upsetting that we no longer have our rings that we made our vows with...That's something we can never get back. Fortunately, we went to Molina's this afternoon and purchased our new beautiful and symmetrical wedding bands. Their service and quality were amazing and comforting. I wish we would have purchased our bands here from the beginning (lesson learned). By the way, has I was talking with Mr. Olson, he had opened up a folder with our names on it, he had a printed copy of my yelp review and stapled it to the folder...so guess this is another one he can add!!!!
