A: My parents took my husband and I to Sushi Muramoto for a late birthday dinner! I tried more dishes than I normally would because well, let's face it, the parents were paying. Our waitress was my favorite kind: polite, helpful but didn't bug us or return every 10 seconds. The meal started with edamame and chicken lettuce wraps. The wraps were amazing: sweet, a little crunchy and a delicious and light way to save room for more food. The edamame was a disappointment-it was freezing cold and slimy, making it the one thing I wouldn't get again. I ordered the beef ribeye, which was a perfectly seasoned and buttery cut of steak over fresh sauteed veggies. The sushi I stole from my husband's plate was perfecto and my Dad, the sushi snob, gave this place a thumbs up. Being the food hoarder that I am, I took home leftovers and made the best fried rice of my life the next day!

A: The house beans and bread alone are worth a visit. My favorite items on the menu are the burrata, bruschetta, the fresca salad with gorgonzola honey dressing, the Sorrento pasta with shrimp and pink alfredo sauce, and the Amatriciana pasta (just a touch spicy). Great date-night ambiance inside, and the patio area offers a casual option too.

A: Being new to Phoenix, I'm visiting as many new places to eat as I can. Tony's came up on my search for burgers, but then I noticed people talking about a Pastrami Burrito. That instantly eclipsed the burger idea and lingered in my head for about a week. I went there on an empty stomach, not really knowing what to expect. Most reviews denigrate Tony's burgers, which is odd since it's a Burger Factory. Anyways, I wasn't there for a burger, the Pastrami Burrito was on my mind. Food: The Pastrami Burrito, which I will capitalize out of respect, was phenomenal. It goes for about $6.50 and is well worth it. Fresh flour tortilla wraps around mass quantities of pastrami, along with onions, mustard, and other things I dared not question. Throw some hot sauce or salsa on there and you are primed for a food coma. What a strange menu item, but it's a must have and a great value as well. Service: The place was busy, but once I got my order in it was only about 5 minutes before my order was ready. The workers were friendly and efficient. Outside: Small building, right off the highway. I don't know the hours, but this is a perfect spot for a highway stop off at 3am. Inside: Thank Christ I knew what I wanted ahead of time, the menu is baffling in size, with a strange and almost logical ordering. Burger Factories are different than regular factories I've come to find. You order at a counter, but there is protective glass at face level, just like at a bank. However, the glass only goes just past eye level, and it is not bullet proof, but perhaps that's enough to deter industrial espionage. One day I'll have a burger here.

My husband and son and I discovered Z's tonight after a friend recommended it. So good. We had the Beef Massaman Curry, the Masala Curry with Chicken and Pad Thai. It was all wonderful. The service was great. We will be back.
