A: This place is as good as it gets in Tempe, and I have lived here 20+ years. The owners are always very friendly, and they are eager to share to share their vision for their shop. OSP does not just have the best coffee in Tempe; they also the best barista in the state (Take my word for it, Gianni is the best). Prior to going to OSP for my iced americano every day, I had been going to Cartel Coffee Lab for a number of years. I have to say that I like OSP much better as I get a great drink without having to wait 20 minutes in line. I will definitely be a regular from now on!

A: My roommate and I decided to come here last night. We had both been to the location on Eastern and had bad experiences (horribly slow service), but decided to give the original location a chance based on word-of-mouth and its better Yelp reviews. We walked in and were immediately seated at a table in the corner. Upon opening my menu, I was hit with an extremely foul odor. My roommate initially suspected it was fish being cooked, but upon closer examination we realized that the strong vinegar-like smell was coming from both of our menus. I can only assume they used a dirty rag to wipe the laminated menus. We ordered our first selections for AYCE and waited almost half an hour before anything arrived. There were dirty dishes sitting on the empty table next to us the whole time. When questioned on the wait, our friendly server explained that the chefs were backed up and that everything would come out at once. She asked if we would like anything from the kitchen, so I ordered some steamed gyoza and tempura vegetables, which came out reasonably quickly. There were two sushi chefs working, with about seven occupied tables and six people at the bar. Once the food came, it was generally good. My roommate did have a couple of issues with the menu descriptions - he said that his ama ebi did not actually appear to be ama ebi, and had the same issue with the super white tuna. The Kayla Roll and Las Vegas Roll were both delicious, and the fish seemed fresh and of good quality. Another bonus was that the portions of rice in the nigiri were very small, as mentioned in some other reviews. The chefs seemed to catch up eventually and our subsequent rounds came out a bit faster, but we were still left waiting quite a bit. During some downtime, I was admiring the modern decor and sleek lamp above our table when I noticed the cobwebs in it (photo attached). I'll give this location two stars for the food and generally friendly service, but will definitely not be returning. I'll stick to Goyemon, Sushi Mon, and Oyshi in the future.

We got an awesome deal on living Social for tickets to this event.... $4.50 per person. HOWEVER, none of us in our group realized that only covered the entrance fee and none of the food. (you have to buy tickets in order to taste any of the food samples) I just wish we would have known about that and we would have brought cash (most of us are just plastic carriers) There were ATMS everywhere, but you know you're gonna be charged stupid fees for using them.... it was just frustrating. HOWEVER...... 5 stars goes to many of the Vendors.... we met some great people and found awesome products like Il Nero Olive Oil (AWESOME PEOPLE... will be buying from them again in the future!) and Kyocera Advanced Ceramics to name only a couple.... It was fun, and I know it was for charity, but I'm not sure I would pay to go again, even if the entrance was only 4 bucks.
