Problem: I'm thinking that the normal staff was off yesterday. I went to Cherry Blossom with very high hopes thanks all the positive yelp reports and was very disappointed. This onetime experience won't stop me from coming back to give the Cafe another chance...as I think I might have been transported to a parallel universe for this meal. First off... cute little place, there is no doubt that this is not a chain. The interior of the restaurant is simple and looks more like your dining at an authentic Asian bistro in Vancouver rather then in a central Phoenix strip mall. Our server was a little slow getting to us, again, this is not a chain, so that was overlooked. I ordered a Summer Roll (per menu - Shrimp, lettuce, avocado, cucumber and rice noodles) and a Shrimp tempera roll. When the orders arrived the summer roll looked great, but was stuffed with a "bonus" of that weird crab lookalike stuff made from fish heads and fins.. YUK! Not a problem, I'll just scoop it out onto the appetizer plate... so when I counted, the Summer roll with shrimp, did have shrimp.. 2 of them, and I kid you not, 1/2 cup of that crab stuff. When my "shrimp" tempura roll arrived, guess what?? its a fake crab tempura roll with one shrimp... lol... The rice...VERY sticky... By the time the meal was over, my app plate was mounded with about a cup of this crab scented stuff... such a waste... My friend's pasta ( Marsala Chicken) was great... the chicken was all breast meat, with a really good Marsala sauce...it was impressive! ... So overall... weird experience... will it keep me away??... no, well not unless it happens again... The strangest thing about this whole ordeal is the fact the main ingredient of my appetizer and sushi roll was not even on the menu.

Problem: What a complete dissapointment! We got there and the waiter was kind of a smart ass. The lighting was too bright at this junky table. There was no silver ware or salt and pepper or anything. We asked the waiter what he recommended and he said he hasnt eaten anything so he didnt know. We order crab cakes and they were out in seriously like 2 minutes. They tasted warmed up because they were cold in the middle. My husband bison burger looked prefactory made and was half the size of the bun. My Chicken wrap, what a joke. NO FLAVOR. THIS PLACE SUCKED!

Problem: Last time going there was a disappointment. It looks like they are cutting back on the meat slicing on the sandwich. 1 2 3 pieces of meat then move on to the condiments. If I'm going to pay for an$ 8.00 sandwich...WERE'S THE BEEF? Sorry Larry your a great guy, but give them a sandwich to come back for.

Problem: I must start with the disclaimer that I'm from Massachusetts so by no means am I BBQ authority. But... the brisket was delicious and the mac 'n cheese is divine. Two thumbs up!
