An example of an positive review: Really nice little place with great pizza and friendly staff. It's sit-down in the same way that Chipotle is sit-down. They serve wine and beer, but maybe I'm just not used to that in a non-table-service establishement. Unlike Osteria 100, the pizzas are a good size for lunch. The first time I went, a friend and I split a Ceasar salad and a Vesuvius pizza. Portions were fine for a light lunch. The second time I had one pizza myself. The dough quality is excellent - thin, toasted on the edges, and soft within. The taste is so fresh - much like Il Pizziaolo in Mt Lebo. I've since had the Quattro Formaggi and the Prosciutto y Fungi and both were great. This is a great addition to the downtown lunch scene. I hope they do well - the location is on the very edge of town - and nice to see that they are open past 3pm. Would be a cool happy hour place if they had a bar, but there's just no room for one. With the right wine list it would be kind of like having Dinette minutes from my office. Two downsides: 1. Noise! It's all hard surfaces, so conversations travel. In their defense, it's all glass on two sides, so no much you can do there. 2. THere is no vestibule, so on wintry days there are big chills rushing in with every patron. One of those demountable canvas vestibules like they use in NYC would help a lot.

An example of an negative review: It had been quite some time since I ate at this restaurant, and I was anxious to give it another chance. Sadly, there are still problems with the food. They fixed any issues with their rice, but the Crispy Orange Beef was tough and flavorless, the Mongolian Beef was so salty I practically had to give myself dialysis. The service is pleasant and attentive, but there is a LOT of room for improvement in quality and consistency with the food. Their one saving grace was the Szechuan Green Bean entree with shrimp and tofu. This dish will likely be the only thing I order there again, until I see proof that things have improved.

An example of an positive review: This review is based on carryout, so I can't comment (yet) on the service. After a trip to the oriental market next door, my son and I stopped in here for some carryout. I've not been to a filipino restaurant since living in Phoenix, so I was VERY excited. I love filipino food. It's all I ate for the majority of my young life, so there's also some nostalgia with it. I did the two item meal thing, which was around $6. I picked caldereta and pancit. I thought it'd be best to stick with the basics, just in case it sucked. The caldereta was almost as good as my mom's, and way better than mine :o) The pancit was just okay. The veggies were a bit overcooked and it lacked acid (and I didn't have any lemon in my house). My son loved the pancit, so it worked out. The portion was really generous--enough for me, my son, and hubby ate some too. I will definitely go back to try some other food and bring my husband. It's a bit of a drive, but worth it.

An example of an positive review: Very solid (but unoriginal) breakfast spot. Didn't see a single unique or interesting item on the menu but the short stack I got (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon) was satisfying. Nothing was greasy, bacon was high quality and well cooked, pancakes were adequate. Not sure how this place has 4.5 stars over so many reviews due to the plainness of just about everything but I also couldn't point to anything bad about the meal.
