Today i was in the mood to go eat shabu-shabu. So since I didn't know of any good places here in las vegas, I of course had to do my research. I actually first looked up on citysearch to only discover that there were only very few places in Vegas that served shabu-shabu. So I read my reviews and compared the ratings. ( I base my judgement on the majority of positive votes and also making sure the reviews stood on genuine and honest answers, since I tend to stray away from overly opinionated reviews where I feel that it almost leans on a more negative and very personal scale ) So i came across Musashi ..and I said "why not". So read the menu and their specials which goes during certain times of the day and since it was early I would be able to make it to the lunch menu. I was totally convinced and gung-ho about my shabu-shabu all until i finished reading the menu. which i found pretty impressive because it was very extensive. So I ended up changing my mind and went for the teppanyaki menu instead. So I arrive there and I am seated to the teppanyaki table, and there was already a party group seated, mind you I am alone and the chef greets everyone and is very friendly. The people actually at the table were pretty friendly too and happened to be local regulars also. I order the New york steak well done with shrimp ( $17 ) that includes your soup, fried rice and veggies.. and that offer goes until 3 p.m. As the chef cooks he was very entertaining and his stories were just as entertaining also, just the way I like it. =) He kept making and suggesting all these different sauces to go with your meals and I tell you they were so so sooo good. In the end there were about 7 different sauces to go with my food. My favorite one was the sesame with lemon..it was fantastic! The steak came out tender and just-right, the fried rice was amazing and balanced, the shrimp was wonderful, the veggies weren't overcooked, I enjoyed every bite and morsel, all and in between the variations of sauces. I ate up every single thing on my plate. What also made it such a great experience for my first time visit was that there were many laughs shared. The chef and the party made me feel comfortable too. Its always nice to know there are genuine people out there and especially when they are grouped together. I had such a wonderful and great experience with the staff, the customers, and my food.. So of course, with my research, I pat myself on the back cause I've done my homework well and by also completing a very satisfied appetite. I am definitely going back and trying other things on the menu. This time I'm bringing in my husband and our friends. Spreading the word about this wonderful place. * Very satisfied customer indeed * yay! =)

Nice, little lunch spot....by Arizona standards. The outdoor seating area is relaxing, provided that it isn't 1,000 degrees outside, but keep in mind that you will constantly be harassed by a multitude of flies. It's disgusting and ruins the experience. The service can be hit-or-miss, but most of the time it is adequate. They lose a few stars when compared to Fired Pie. Cibo doesn't seem to cook their pizzas long enough, which makes the interior soft, squishy, and unappetizing. That is a pet peeve. Cibo is also more expensive. Why? Who knows. I paid $10.00 for a single topping "lunch" pizza. At Fired Pie, you pay around $8.50 for the same size w/ unlimited toppings. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have gone to Cibo for lunch. Haha.

I wish I could give you less than one star, 1st off I enjoyed the food Friday's is one of my all time favorite places to eat. With that being said I will never eat there again. In Dec I had weight loss surgery. I have a card that states DANGER only serve this person child size portions. This card states that I have a medical issue that by law you have to cooperate with me, however when I asked for a child's menu I was told no, and that my card was no good due to the fact that by me getting food of the kids menu it will not benefit Friday's! I have used this card time and time again at every restaurant I have been to since Dec. and have never been told no. So if you have weight loss surgery, or know someone who has stay away from here they discriminate against weight loss patients.
