Problem: What would be an example of an positive review?

Answer: My husband and I went for dinner and split the Cajun chicken sandwich with bacon and Irish cheese and a portobello mushroom sandwich and both were delicious. A lot of choices on the menu and all looked tasty. Great service. Over 20 beers to choose from and enjoyed the Strong Bow Cider and the East End Big Hop Harvest. Easy parking around the corner from the restaurant. A bit loud but not too bad.

Answer: I love cupcakes and was super excited when I saw the Groupon for Gigi's. I even checked out the website and loved the history of the place. My hubby and I planned a special trip over to UNLV just to get them. On the way I saw that Groupon had a daily special, 6 for $4 and I grabbed it. The shop is darling and the cupcakes look beautiful, with an almost equal ratio of frosting to cake. We picked out six, got to the car and decided to half one. OMG. I looked around for the video camera cause I was sure I was getting Punked! The frosting tasted like sugary wax, with a cardboard after taste. I even blew my nose thinking it must be my sense of taste and smell. I look over at my husband and he looks ready to barf. The cake was flavorless and dry as well. The cupcake that had a "cream cheese" frosting tasted nothing like any cream cheese I've had before. Not to mention the frosting had developed a crust, which only happens with old cupcakes (we were there at 10am!!). Sampling a few more, I realized they were all disgusting and tasted the same. I was so disappointed. A few weeks later I used my other Groupon and gave them another shot. I even asked the lady behind the counter if these were freshly made cupcakes. Before the question was even completely out of my mouth she lipped off at me snidely and said "Yes, they are made here" in a very condescending way. Did I mention the first trip I made, the girl behind the counter had the personality of a wet mop and seemed pissed we were there? Both women both times were not what one expects working in a bakery. Bottom line: Gigi's cupcakes are gross. Do yourself a favor and check out The Cupcakery. I've been going there years and have NEVER been disappointed. Even Smith's or Albertsons do a better job with cupcakes. But for those of you that like frosting that tastes like it's made with decade old Crisco and cake that wouldn't get a D- in home ec., then Gigi's is for you.

Answer:
I was so hopeful when taking a job a couple of years ago and also living very close to this place and have visited this restaurant about 8 times in the 2 years. Disappointed each and every time. I love egg fu young and the first time I got it was decent for a fast food style chinese restaurant. The next 2 times was terrible. Burned on the outside, dry on the inside and the gravy had the consistency of peanut butter. Sweet and sour pork is just ok, more breading than pork, sesame chicken was bland and overcooked. My last visit on 1/28 was perhaps the most disappointing of all. I walked in to order take out. I ordered sweet and sour pork and vegetable lomein. Got my order and got home to find vegetable fried rice instead. First let me say they do not seem to use regular rice, it's more like instant rice in all their dishes. I have never gotten anything with actual fresh vegetables, the have to be either frozen out of a bag or come from a can. The only difference in the vegetable fried rice is they add some soggy broccoli and and those little corn cobs out of a can. Otherwise it was simply a big pile of fried rice. The only thing consistent about this place is that the portions are large and it's cheap if that's your thing. To me cheap and quantity is still a waste of money if it is not good. I will not go back and it's a shame because it is convenient to me. Instead I'll pay a little more and get fresh Chinese/Asian food from one of the Asian fusion places in Uptown.
