A: First time visiting this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend. Small, typical strip-mall location didn't bother me (I've found some of the best places tucked obscurely away) but they left the door wide ajar (for fresh air?) and someone nearby was smoking a cigar, so it wafted in. Odd they didn't notice and shut the door. Sat the the sushi bar, no greeting was called as you usually get, but no big deal. Ordered a large hot sake for now and a beer with my meal. This confused the hell out of the waitress, who couldn't fathom how to make that work. When she brought the sake, she asked again if I wanted the beer now, so I said okay to help her out. The sake was tepid, not hot, and not full. Usually I order as I go but the sushi chef had no interaction with me other than to hand over the welcome plate with ginger, wasabi, and a small cuke taster (nice). So I resigned to pick everything from the paper sheet, and the happy hour thing was confusing, but I managed. I turned it in to the waitress and tucked back into my lukewarm sake. At that time I noticed a man at the register who was trying to place an order To go. The waitresses were having some issue understanding and entering, and suddenly the whole restaurant ground to a halt. The chefs were all watching the girls, all 3 girls were intently focused on the computer (with my order dangling forgotten in one hand) and the client was making comment that he might in fact still be hungry by the time they figured it out and he got his food. At this point the chef sees me starring at him in a hungry way and asks what I ordered. I couldnt' remember everything, just a few, but gave him the clam miso soup and the salmon sushi. He whipped up the salmon, and although the pale color was suspect of farmed quality, the portion was nice and not on a tombstone-sized piece of rice. However, he painted it with a sauce I didn't ask for, claiming it helped enhance the fish. I find that totally out of character, and worried it was more to mask a low-quality cut. It tasted okay and I'm still here. After my order finally was entered at the computer and printed to the chef, he managed to do the rest. However, the clam miso and garlic edamame was coming from the back kitchen, which was very sadly inept. Both items finally arrived after I had eaten all the sushi items, so I got appetizers last. The clam miso was good and four littlenecks in the shell were a nice variety, but the edamame was crazy - there was literally a half cup of diced (from a jar) garlic sauteed in peanut oil and tossed/dumped onto the beans. It was tasty at first, but just WAY too much used. Garlic is such a strong agent, it isnt needed in giant gobs...it just about killed the dish and of course anyone who stood within 5 feet of me the next day. Meanwhile, the couple's dirty plates to my left who had been gone awhile were still there when another couple arrived; there was almost no bussing done the whole time I was there. They nicely shoved the dirty plates in my direction to the empty chair between us, and they too couldn't manage to get their drinks, or sushi, in a timely fashion. I asked if they had been here before, and she said yes but didnt know why this time everything was so SLOW. Everyone at the bar was being asked by the chef what their order was they had given the waitress; perhaps they need a new procedure. I counted at the height of business, 9 people at the sushi bar and maybe 12 in the restaurant. There were 3 sushi chefs, two more people visible in the prep kitchen, and 2 or 3 servers on the floor. Nobody should have had to wait for anything, much less a clean place to sit down. They all seemed to be SCRAMBLING but I couldnt figure out why....I've seen 2 chefs at a good busy restaurant handle everything plus To Go orders no problem. These guys have issues. I don't care if you serve exotic, rare pricey fish to your special customers, or cut cooked rolls to the newbie, if you're going to run a restaurant (and I'm in the industry) you need to make sure service is near-perfect. I would have tried more items, stayed longer, and maybe visited again if the service and customer attention had been prioritized, but judging from other reviews and others that night who were having the same experience with poor service, I'll think I'll spare myself another trip here.

A: The Pyramid Rooms are ok. Definitely in need of updating. There was rot on the back of the bathroom door and the tile in the bathroom next to the shower was completely pulled away from the wall with obvious rot and mold. There was mold on the ceiling over the shower also. Luxor is in the dark ages with regard to technology also. No WiFi in the rooms. Tried to use the kiosk for checkout. There was only one kiosk and it wasn't working. They had two iPADs sitting there for checkout but neither of them worked. The line to checkout was about 70 people long. The casino and overall public amenities are nice. Overall not a bad place, just needs to be updated and better maintained.

A:
Same as any of the other parts of the chain. Prices are step but the burgers are top notch. Plus the Cajun fries are delicious.
