A: Been driving by this place for almost 3 years now and never realized it was there. Decided to check it out and try out the dish that I've been dreaming off. The Pork Chop Combo Plate... The dish was on point, it really tasted like how my dad cooks it. The soysauce egg, pickled veggies, steam cabbage, tofu bring the dish to live and creates a really balanced meal with no hot sauce needed. The pork chop was delicious and full of flavor; not to mention a decent size for the total price. I also got milk tea with boba, also very good. It wasn't too sweet and the boba was sofa; not chewy just right. Very happy I found this place as it's hard to find good Taiwanese food in East Valley.

A: At the door I was greeted by signs telling me what I couldn't do relative to coupons and credit cards. It wasn't clear whether I should wait to be seated or seat myself. That was a turn off. The service left much to be desired. The atmosphere was equally disappointing. Out dated, uncomfortable seating and tables. There was a pervasive odor that I couldn't identify, but it took me back to the mid 1970s. Despite what appeared to be ample staff and only 3 tables being occupied they were slow in taking my order. I didn't have but 45 mins to eat so I ordered dishes that should have been prepared hours before. Still, I waited too long for my food. The meatloaf tasted processed, the greens were too sweet, and the mac and cheese needed salt. I got the impression that to enjoy this place you must be used to settling for less. Low rent seems to describe this place. The meal was inexpensive. That is a plus.

I live around the corner from LGO/Postino Arcadia and am a regular and fan of both. Windsor is great as well. Federal is a disappointment and tragedy. I'm not sure whether all these positive reviews are paid for by Federal or sponsored, or just by clueless foodies because they are outright lies. For a restaurant group that makes amazing pizza's at LGO, I'm shocked as too how disappointing and what a big letdown the pizzas are here. They are all overly oily and soggy in the middle. I've tried four different pies on two separate occasions and everyone in my party felt the same way and it didn't sound like anyone was going to go back for a while until the soggy dough and oily topping issues were fixed. When I was there on 11/08/2012 a co-worker had a stellar meatball sandwich, soft airy fresh baked pizza dough as the bread, fresh melted mozzarella, great meatballs and sauce, simple, traditional and delicious. Went back on 11/11/2012 to have the meatball sandwich that looked so good a few days earlier, talk about being letdown. For some reason the sandwich had been reinvented, it now had barely any meatballs on it and they had been supplemented with a ridiculous amount of caramelized like onions and the bread which was amazing on the previous occasion was hard as a rock. What in the world, massive amounts of onions on a meatball hero with barely any meatballs to be found, confusing. The pizza was no better, still soggy in the middle and disappointing. All restaurants have kinks to work out when they first open, but for a successful restaurant group that's hit homeruns with pizza before, there should be no kinks to work out with the pizza, nor should the simplest thing in the world, a meatball hero go from amazing to gross in three days. Another issue we experienced both times there is the service. Plenty of staff onsite, the problem is finding someone to help you or them coming back to check on you. Both times we sat around with empty drinks for a half-hour and had to hunt down someone to get a refill or the check. Plus this staff is very different than the staff at their other establishments, seems like a bunch of self-entitled hipsters that are too important are running the show. I'll stick to LGO for pizza from this crew; hopefully they don't experiment with that perfect formula.
