I went here for lunch yesterday and ordered off the lunch specials menu: half sandwich and a salad for around $9. It was ok, but nothing special. My friend really likes this place for some reason, but I just don't get it.

I am a fan of Guy Fieri and this makes the second restaurant from DDD I have visited. I will be honest and tell you that he co-owns two restaurants in California, one of them being a place called Johnny Garlic's. The food was VERY VERY mediocre so I started to wonder if I should trust his taste in food, but then I said ok he goes to these places because people write to him and tell him they are amazing, not because he has any participation in the restaurant itself. So my mom and I went yesterday (Saturday) morning for breakfast. We got there around 9 I think and we had to wait about an hour before we were able to be seated. We looked at the menu and were like what the heck this is just basic breakfast food, did we just make a huge mistake? Boy were we wrong. The OJ was great. The coffee on the other hand, eh. I've had a lot better. I ordered the omelet with provolone and mushrooms and onions and home fries and sourdough bread. My mom ordered the eggs with hashbrowns and slice of ham. The omelet was huge and gooey with cheese. The mushrooms and onions were cooked to perfection. The home fries were only ok, and that might be because they were a tad cold. The bread is obviously homemade and the jam that came out with it was incredible. My moms ham was great. We were not expecting such a big slice and such a thick slice. The taste was amazing as well. After breakfast we walked across the street and went to the farmers market. I am visiting from California, and should I ever find myself in Phoenix ever again, I will definitely come back and maybe next time try the bacon egg and cheese sandwich. The only thing keeping this place from 5 stars is the coffee and the limited menu options.

My wife and I went here tonight after previously going to Takara's other location on the west side of town. Both times, I have walked away pretty impressed with the sushi there. Full disclosure: I am by NO means a sushi connoisseur, or even someone who knows much about sushi. When we go out for sushi, my wife usually just orders a variety of rolls and I sample everything. However, I have eaten at a handful of different sushi joints, and Takara has consistently been one of the better ones I've sampled. The service was blisteringly quick, the drinks were pretty good, and the sushi was excellent. We will definitely be back!

My person and I weren't that hungry so we decided to share a pizza but before ordering we had a few questions regarding their pizza and Chef Marc himself took the order and he was rude. Instead of answering our question about the pizza, he told us that the pizza was cheap. It was a bit insulting the way he treated us. Seems like Chef Marc is willing to be cordial and nice for the money. The pizza was decent but I will definitely not bring my business here.
