Problem: The bulgogi shabu shabu was delicious and their banchan was too, but I definitely felt discriminated against because I don't exactly look Asian! Our server asked us if we were "both okay using chopsticks." A reasonable question if neither of you are Asian, but seeing as how my boyfriend is obviously 100% Korean... I immediately knew this question was directed soley to me. Yes, "we" are okay using chopsticks. The server took it a step further though and explained that their metal chopsticks might be more slippery than what I'm used to so if I'd prefer the wooden ones they were available too....as if I don't have a whole drawer full of pretty Korean metal chopsticks at home that I regularly eat with. Little girl... do you really think this is my first time eating Asian food? LOL I bet I watch more Kdrama than you too!!!! :D

Problem: We visited with a coupon and sat outside. The wine and beer selection is great, the food, ie. one dish, was enough to push the rating down to 2. Beware the "Beef Stroganoff". Either the cook didn't finish the dish or the server didn't know jack about either the dish or the general expectation for the dish, but the product came to the table without any sour cream/sauce. Just saute'd beef, with some onion and mushrooms with snap peas over pasta. When I commented on the apparent missing ingredient i was informed that not all "Beef Stroganoff" came with sour cream. The tastes were ok for saute'd beef 'n onions, but certainly not "Beef Stroganoff" as generally defined. A general fail on the food for this reason alone.

Problem: I've been to the Tempe Improv many times, maybe more than I should fess up to, lol. It's always a great time! Purchase your tickets on-line & arrive at least 1 to 1 1/2 hours before your show time. It's first come first serve so you don't want to end up in the back. You need to be prepared to sit in close proximity to others, in other words, if you're a "respect the bubble" type of person, you might want to rethink your choice. If you're with a large group you all need to purchase your tickets together so that you're seated together, or call the box office to see what they can do. The menu has been simplified, there's not much to choose from, but the food is decent & counts towards your 2 item requirement. If you're easily offended you can check out their Sideshow Cafe (I think that's what it's called) were the comedy is appropriate for all ages. Every time I go there's at least one person with a bitter beer face & I just assume they are generally unhappy people, because the show is good! This is a place for people watching & good comedy. As an added bonus, the staff is always very nice.

Problem: This place has been here forever. I love this place, such a large selection. Big inside, lots of seating. Good food.
