A: the fun of building your own sushi, without the hassle of cutting those tiny strips of cucumber & then #$%(ing up your roll b/c you don't have a sharp enough knife to cut it! or maybe that's just me? at any rate, had a great experience with the kiddos & sis tonight. we all got our own rolls made just the way we like them :) ok amount of veggie options, bummer the miso is made with tuna broth (WTF?). but as I vegan I had no problem finding plenty to fill my belly. there have already been many comparisons to Chipotle & Subway- yes, it is true! dinner for all 5 of us, including cucumber salad, seaweed salad & edamame, was about $40!
Q: positive

A: Chips and salsa are sooo tasty. A friend of mine had her wedding reception at Las Velas so all I really got to taste were appetizers which were all scrumptious. I'm excited to sample more, but I'll have to wait until they re-cooperate from the fire.

Answer: Oh Yelp, you disappointed me. I picked this place because I was craving some veggie sushi and hey! 4.5 stars! Must be good! Sadly this was so not the case: the reviewers must have never had any actual authentic Japanese food before. Let's start with the layout... it looks like someone revamped a Sports Bar on the inside. The closest it gets to theming the place is by having dried palms on the ceiling trim for the bar and host stand. I'm sure you're saying "but that isn't Japanese..."; you're right! But if you've been to Hawaii, where there is a decent Japanese presence, many of the restaurants are set up like that. So maybe they should start serving Hawaiian food... or invest in some interior decorating... On to the food: I had avocado and cucumber rolls. They tasted about what I would expect but the overall layout and assembly was lacking (many of the pieces were falling apart as I was picking them up). My friend had some unagi nigiri (eel); it was a terrible cut, not placed well on the rice and she couldn't bite through it. She also had some sort of average maki roll (I can't remember what specifically) and she thought it was okay. Traditionally, sushi is more than just the practice of wrapping vegetables/fish in rice and seaweed; there is a whole art that goes into it. Taiyo was definitely lacking any sort of art/plating. The photo provided for this location is deceiving: I'd be amazed if the sushi in the picture was actually from there. If you're in the mood for people watching and don't care what you're eating, that is the only way I'd recommend this place. Some of the characters that came in were over the time. If you actually want to go somewhere and enjoy the food, I'd recommend hunting around elsewhere if you want any sort of decent Japanese food.

Output: I hardly ever eat at El Pollo Loco, but when I do..it's for their pollo bowl. Their pollo bowls are not only cheap, but super filling as well! It comes with rice, beans, chopped pieces of chicken, salsa, onions, and cilantro. That's everything you need in one $5 bowl! If you are in a rush, this is definitely the El Pollo Loco to visit. Not even 2 minutes after I placed my order, they already had it prepped and ready for me to take to my table. I have never seen service so fast at a fast food restaurant before! I know they prepped it right after I ordered because the kitchen is open and visible behind the cashier. The pollo bowl tasted perfect and I would definitely come back here if I ever need a quick lunch or snack.

output: There is only 1 good thing about this place. The decoration of the place was very artsy. It made me felt like I was in a fish bowl or something, I felt I was trapped in some sort of container. It was weird, but very interesting at the same time. The food was not as good as I thought it was going to be. As you enter the restaurant, you would notice a few chefs working at the bar making fresh noodles or some dim sum. However, after ordering a bowl of braised beef noodle soup, I wasn't able to tell the difference between package noodles and the fresh hand made ones. The soup base was a very plain beef soup, nothing special about it. The braised beef was juicy, (probably from sitting in the soup for so long) but it was flavorless and there were no sauce that accompany my order to improve the taste. The price was extremely over price, especially for the quality of our food. My noodle soup was a small size and it was about $16. If the food was a lot better and if the waiters pay more attention to us, it would of POSSIBLY been worth the money. I also ordered a cocktail, (Shang Hai Wave) it was very delicious, but it was about $12. It had a strong lychee flavor which was delicious and it has a sweet finish. DON'T EAT HERE. Reasons why: - Food was way over priced - Service was not extraordinary - Quality of food was deceiving

A:
Solid and delicious upscale Mexican cuisine. We came here early, around 6pm on a Tuesday evening, and were able to get a table for 3 right away. The restaurant was a bit difficult to find, and the hostess was very friendly about vectoring me in by telephone. The enthusiastic and friendly server got drinks and house made chips on the table extremely quickly. Next up was the table-side guacamole; he custom prepared it from a cart containing pre-chopped and fresh avocado, tomato, onion, chiles, limes and cilantro. My teenage daughter declared it 'the best guac ever'! I concur -- fab and custom. I agree with Mark C.'s review, and that the addition of the pomegranate seeds sends this dish to a new level! I enjoyed one of the evening's specials: Halibut Vercruz style. Hailing from Seattle, I am extremely picky about my fish, and I usually never order it outside of my own burgh. However, since we have a deficiency of Mexican cuisine in Seattle, I ventured forth and was not disappointed. The halibut was ocean fresh and perfectly cooked -- just flaky to the fork. The Veracruz sauce it was bathed in blew me away: it was filled with piquant olives, capers and tomatoes and was redolent of garlicand chile. Fantastico. All of this fresh, flaky, flavorful deliciousness was generously portioned and placed atop Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, which were a perfect creamy canvas for the bold sauce. There was also some flavorful sauteed zucchini and onion. My teenage companions rated the fish tacos as excellent and very fresh. I did not get to taste them. A fellow diner at another table commented that his filet mignon was excellent. Barrio Cafe is a great dining experience. The chef creates dishes which are complex, interesting and layered. The service was prompt, friendly and extremely efficient. When we exited the restaurant after our meal, the restaurant was entirely full, with people waiting as well. Lucky them -- I can't wait to return to Phoenix and dine at Barrio Cafe.
