This store has become my morning power walk destination ...i felt it was a trader joes with expanded aisleways ( my main beef with trader joe's ) i like the meat and cheese selection...the prices...hmmm...jury is still out on that one...comparable to trader joe's...the specials probably give f&e the upper hand over trader joes... it's a welcome addition to my neighborhood

Gorgeous hotel, with great amenities. The food was delicious. This is an expensive place to stay, so be prepared. It's in the middle of downtown Phoenix, which makes the amount you pay worth it.

Bachi WAS my favorite restaurant but I'm sad to say it's off my list for good. I've been an avid diner since their opening. It's literally a block from my house and has very unique eats. The service has always been hit or miss, but I've always returned because the food proved to be on point. With that said, my last dining experience was terrible - service and food. 1. Our beer glasses were delivered hot and dirty. 2. Our fries were delivered cold. 3. Their burgers are served medium, so I always ask for medium well. My boyfriend asked for medium. Mine was served bloody and his was served well done. He ate his unhappily but I could not stomach mine and after we had to literally flagged down the waiter, I sent mine back. He brought back the same burger (which I had cut into) with the meat cooked to well. Again, not medium well. I found it to be odd that they would just reheat the patty, but oh well, I ate it. Mind you, this was delivered well after my boyfriend had finished his burger (I told him to go ahead because I did not want his to get as cold as our fries). 4. Nothing was done to make this right. I posted on Facebook, tagged them, and sent a comment to their fan page ... and nothing. I realize dining experiences aren't always perfect; however, they should have comped my burger or offered a free dessert. This is why I turned to their fan page on Facebook and still nothing was done to rectify the situation. I'm saddened to say, we will not return to our once fav spot to eat.

Sorry folks, but this place is terrible. I had heard my friends raving about it for awhile, but finally had the, uh, "opportunity" to try it out myself. When I first walked in, I noticed it was just $9 for a big bowl, far cheaper than what I'm used to paying at Genghis Grill. Sounds good, right? Well, when I got to the food selections, I noticed a few things. First, the meat was frozen. Second, there are only four meat options (frozen chicken, frozen beef, frozen turkey, and frozen pork). Third, the vegetable selection is limited. You'll have your lettuce, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, noodles, tofu, and bean sprouts, but there's not much more. No eggs, baby corn, or anything else that might be interesting. Oh, and no dry seasonings. The sauces were encouraging. I liked the idea of mixing and matching the different components. After I tasted my food, however, backtracked on the sauce. My bowl was quite soupy, but very bland. The sauces have almost no flavor whatsoever. Now I know why they provide that hot mustard... You need it if you want to actually taste something. The portions were great, but I didn't even finish mine because it was just a bland, soupy mess of frozen garbage. I think I'll spend the few extra bucks on Genghis.
