Problem: 4.5 if I could.... So its my birthday and my wife hunts down "Phoenix's Best Sushi" and comes up with this place near our home in Chandler. Now I have friends just to the east of this intersection and I NEVER noticed this place before. In an empty shopping center (basically) and very nondescript. So we walk in and I was like OK. Tiny place, limited seating and two steps you are at the sushi bar. Ambiance I learned is not why you go here. Sat down and learned its always HAPPY HOUR at Taiko. So good priced rolls and Saki Bombers for $6.99. Good deal. I had my two kids with me (along with my wife) and besides a Cali roll none of them are Sushi eaters. My daughter LOVED the Miso Soup I tasted it and it was very good also. She also got the Chicken Katsu which was very good. My son raved about the Cali roll he took that down in about 3 minutes flat. My wife went with the beef teryiaki and the meat was actually cooked medium rare. I was shocked. It was good and flavorful. So that part was for the non-Japanese eaters you may have. I decided to have a feast. I tried their Blue Fin Tuna, which was spectacular, had some great yellow tail, some of the freshest I have had since moving here. Followed that up with my all time favorite sushi which is spicy scallops. And they were spicy and tasty. Loved them. I also tried the Salmon Dynamite roll. While something I may not order again, it was very good and had different flavor. While eating my wife was reading review and said the fun is trying something new like Hamachi Kama. Now this is one of my all time favorite dishes and asked for an order. The watiress was like, you like Hamachi Kama and smiled? Within a few minutes the owner brought it over with an even bigger smile. It was great. Just a quick stepback, as we walked in my youngest said dad do you like your birthday restaurant. I laughed and said yes. Well a waitress must of heard that and after finishing dinner the owner proudly brought over a dessert proclaimed happy bday and on the house. Very very nice touch. I will be back..again..and again...and again...Best Sushi I have found in the South Valley BY FAR!

Problem: Talk about heavy hand on my crown! Great service and I would definitely go again! My only complaint is I couldn't use my Yelp coupon for a free flatbread and hummus because they said I had to print it out and bring it in..... however I got it anyways and was really good.

Problem: This was my first experience having Vietnamese food in Phoenix. Maybe my expectations were a little to high. The place is small, run down and dirty. The floors looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months. The service was okay, but the disappointment came with the food. I don't think I can go back. I thought it was way to greasy... I won't be going back Needless, who cares about the price.

Problem: I've been here about 20 times :) A tip for locals, the best place to park is MGM self parking off of Tropicana, and just make your way through MGM past the lions and out onto the strip. Gameworks is just past all the people in costumes and M&M world. There's a sign for Glacier Bar, that bar is attached to the inside of Gameworks. I'll start with the bad : - Some of the games break, it's to be expected with all the kids running through there. - Over-priced weak alcohol. - Pay per hour system, just don't do it. Go for the points! Now the good stuff: - A rarity in America, customers always come first here! If you have ANY problems with ANY games the staff will comp you those points and more, and are very friendly about it. The only time they weren't friendly I talked to the manager and that kid got fired on the spot. - Same goes for the weak drinks, tell the barkeep about it and it's fixed no problems! - The food is surprisingly cheap and awesome, I would say on par with Red Robin. Much much more than you'd expect for an arcade. - Loads and loads of games for everybody, more than you'll be able to play in one visit for sure. - Points system! I load up a card for $54 (sounds expensive right!) and it comes with 400 points. $22=120p / $27=190p / $37=260p / $54=400. The average game costs 2-4 points, the highest is 8. I'll use the same card for multiple visits. If you have multiple people load up one card and pass it around. - It's probably the ONLY place on the strip where you can stay entertained the whole day for well under $100.
