You guys. I had a catering order for my husband's 40th birthday party, and they never showed up, they never called. I'm absolutely horrified by this experience. Thank God for Costco and their rotisserie chickens. No one returned my phone calls an hour after expected delivery, and we had 30 hungry guests. Embarrassing and completely unprofessional. Do not give these jerks your business. Please. Ridiculous and not anything like the Aloha spirit you find on the real islands. Big fat BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

This place has not only destroyed my favorite dish but has also offended a national cuisine. Pho is the national Vietnamese dish. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be so many restaurants with it in the name like this place. Any place worth its salt has a go-to recipe that satisfies anyone craving the soup. So who can mess up something as important as Pho? This place. They have done it in a manner that offends Vietnamese cuisine in no other way I have ever before experienced. This national cuisine is considered one of, if not THE, freshest food on the planet. Who ruins Pho Ga? This place. Unfortunately, this place has no idea about freshness. Pho is a healthy, nutritious, and savory soup. Simple, yet elegant. The atrocity they served me was not only bland, but so oily that I couldn't get rid of the clammy sensation from my mouth for hours. The meager chicken pieces floating in it were not only bland, but exceedingly DRY. So dry that I had to drink the bland iced tea they served so as to swallow, because the broth was so oily and revolting. Unfortunately, I was so hungry I forced myself to gnaw on the the chicken and the hard noodles. My partner's hot and spicy soup with shrimp was as greasy or more. In fact, the oil beaded up on our spoons repelling the water-based soup. She said the shrimp had freezer burn in its taste. She also tried to salvage something edible from her horror. The sad thing is that we spent over 30 minutes trying to find the place as a result of Yelp when we looked for a place in Mesa. So I had to warn people about this joint. Unfortunately, we weren't aware that there were 2 different places right down the road in Chandler. So for Vietnamese cuisine's sake - Do NOT eat here. I wish we could get away with not having to give one star. It was so bad. The sad thing is that the appetizer of Spring Rolls was actually decent, then the crap hit the fan. Or in this case, the Pho.

Wow! Cannot believe the mixed reviews this place has!! My boyfriend and I went on a trip to Vegas this past week to celebrate our sixth anniversary. We both LOVE horror and we're big fans of Eli Roth (Cabin Fever rules! See it!!) so were so excited to visit the Goretorium. We got our tickets on the Goldstar website, which I highly recommend. The tickets were $30 each including fees for the VIP admission, which includes skipping the line and a drink at the Baby Dolls Lounge. DEFINITELY DO THIS. It's $60 for VIP if you buy it at the door so def get your tickets online at Goldstar first if you can!! The maze itself is super rad. It's about the Delmont Hotel's f**ked up residents. I don't wanna give too much away, but if you are a fan of Hostel you'll be very pleased. And if you are a bit of a scaredy cat being dragged against your will into this scary ass maze by your friend or significant other, it's helpful to know that they do have a safe word (well, technically safe phrase-- Red Red Red!) so in case you flip out TOO much or something you'll be okay. But please don't flip out because it is so awesome you should not miss it. The best thing about this place is the group size-- seven people or less. If you have been to anything like Universal's Halloween Horror Nights, haunted mazes are usually pretty crowded and you usually see people ahead of you in line getting scares so you're not as scared. Not so at the Goretorium!! We, luckily, had another couple with us who were super sweet and we all joined together to trek through the maze as a unit!! (Only four of us total!) It's super fun and pretty damn scary. Be ready for some good spooks. But pay attention because some of the tricks in each room and absolutely amazing! Very theatrical and entertaining. It took us about fifteen or twenty minutes to go through it. At the end of the maze, you're spit out into the Baby Dolls Lounge. The night we went was a Tuesday and for some reason all the groups who left the maze after us walked right by the door and left. DEAR GOD WHY!!?!? Drinks are pricey at $15 a pop but they are delicious and strong, so I think they are worth it. Even if you're not a drinker you should stop by and look out over the strip because it's got a killer (yuk yuk) view of the strip. I tried Eli Roth's Blood cocktail and my boyfriend got the Death Tea. I'd recommend both. PLEASE GO TO THE GORETORIUM!! I really want this place to stay in business so I can go back on my next trip to Vegas. We had an amazing night so I hope you all have a great time there too!! P.S. The yard-long drinks are the strongest on the strip! Look for the guys handing out cards-- we got 2-for-1 yard-longs at $20 flat for two drinks including the souvenir cups. The one with everclear in it is strong as f**k. Happy Haunting! ;)

This was not a great carpet cleaning experience. I'm sure that there are better companies to go through, and I will be using them next time. We chose this company because it was recommended to us by our apartment complex. We called two days ahead of time, and were told someone would be there to clean the carpets between 12-5 on our chosen day. Sort of a big window, but whatever. On the day, we called around 2 to see if they had any idea when someone would be coming. We were told someone would be there by 4. At 4:05, with still not carpet people, we called again, and were told, it will be another 40 minutes. At 4:35, we received a call saying it would actually be another 45 minutes. At this point, we were getting pretty unhappy that we had sat around for the carpet cleaners all day, and they were not not even showing up in the 5 hour window we'd been given. We called the company back to complain, and the woman on the phone snapped at us that "it isn't even 5 yet" refused to consider giving us a discount, and basically said she didn't care that we would be relaying this information to our apartment complex. Around 5:45, the carpet people finally showed up. Two men came in, quickly assessed the place, and got to work. I will give one star to the man who actually cleaned the carpets. He worked hard, and did a great job. I have no complaints about him. His partner, on the other hand, was literally on the phone the entire time he was at our apartment, and besides briefly spraying the some kind of chemical out of a spray bottle here and there, he basically did nothing, and was not needed for the job. Maybe if those two guys split up, and worked separately, they could been on time. Apparently, two people were not necessary for the job. One other benefit was the price. It was $50 to do an entire two bedroom apartment. I will say it was a good price, and if you are on a super tight budget and can take the entire day to wait for these guys to show up, this might not be a bad choice for you. But overall, with the waiting, the overtly rude treatment on the phone, and watching one hard working guy who something tells me doesn't get paid as much as the dude who spent the whole time on the phone, I have to pass on this place for next time, and try someone else who is a little more professional.
