Sentiment analysis: As already mentioned by other yelpers: The best miso ramen in Phx. Very tasty soba noodles. Katsu chicken entree is also very good. Not pricey at all for what you get, which is a significant amount of very tasty food. Decor: Booth seats. Kind of out of date. Just like any other mom and pop restaurant that has been open since the 80s. Picture of a Japanese Kimono on the wall. Not "cool" in a "I wear D&G sun glasses and think RA has amazing sushi" kind of way, but cool in a "this place has great food, who the hell cares what it looks like" kind of way. Service: Don't expect to be seated at a table and your drink order taken by a waiter. We were handed two menus when we walked into the restaurant. We took the menus and made our own way to a table to figure out what we wanted. Once we had our mind set on what we wanted, I walked over to the cashier counter and placed our order with the owner. Only time we interacted with the owner again was when our food and drinks were brought to our table, and when we got up and payed at the cashier counter. So, yeah, you will not be waited on hand and foot. But I think that aspect of the owner's personality somehow adds to the Toh Zan experience. It's like, "You want what? To be served? LOL. First time?"

Sentiment analysis: I've been to Papaya Thai many times, but never remembered to write a review. The food here is always worth the prices ($8-13 for basic entrees), but the service always seems lacking. Each time I've been there, it was during off-peak hours (later in the evening, or early in the afternoon), and it was usually just my table and no more than 1 or 2 others. There always seems to be at least 3-4 servers walking around the front of the restaurant, but each time we were seated it took quite awhile before our drink orders were taken. This wouldn't be quite so bad if the staff didn't tend to walk around in front of us, looking puzzled as to what they were supposed to do with us now that we had a table. On different visits I have ordered: the egg roll appetizers, the crab roll appetizers, spring rolls, and the green curry. My friends always order one of the other curries, so I've tried all of them. They are all terrific, but my favorite is the green curry. All of the appetizers I've had were also wonderful. All servings have been generous, and the curries are all flavorful, and creamy, and when I order a curry dish, I never fail to fill up at the restaurant and still have enough to take home for 2 more meals. Nice! As for the service, the last time I went there, I was joined by two friends. I ordered the spring rolls, and they shared a big bowl of one of the soups. When our entrees came out, the server handed us our plates, but neglected to take away our empty appetizer/soup plates. I even mentioned to him that we were done and they could be taken away. Finally, I stacked them up myself, got his attention again, and asked him could he please do something with these since there's no room on the table for our entrees?? He apologized profusely, and got it cleared up. But, since when should you have ask for servers to remove plates?? I ordered for delivery from there since then. I ordered green curry with pork, and spring rolls. The food was delivered in a timely manner, but they sent put chicken in the curry instead of pork. I've also ordered for take-out from there a few times and never had a problem. On the other side of the coin, on my 3rd visit in there, it had been about 6 weeks since my previous visit, and the nice, sweet server lady there remembered my order exactly. WOW! Unbelievable! It's such a nice touch when you're remembered. Overall: Don't go there looking for stellar service. The staff is perfectly polite, never rude, but for the most part, just not on the ball. Reasons to go: Great prices, and great generous helpings of food.

Sentiment analysis: Slows service, 25 minutes for 1 bagel... And while I waited got a nice view of behind the counter, which was disgusting. Next tome I'll go the extra four blocks to the Nosh. Better bagel anyway!
