Their website and phone message say they open at 10am on Friday, but I couldn't get through until 10:45am. Ordered a 12in deep dish with pepperoni and chicken that cost $17+tip! Pizza tastes like it was frozen. Couldn't even finish a slice without having to spit some out in the trash. Overpriced nasty pizza. | 01

Great pizza and great staff!!!! They always make you feel welcome when you walk in! Highly recommended! !! | 12

We noticed Asiatique Thai Bistro while in Bakery Square and thought we'd give it a try since we really like good Thai food.\n\nThe food was mediocre, the portions were small, and the prices were high. I'd be happy to forgive one of the three, but it's hard to like a place that fails on all of these. My Pad Thai, which I was requested to be spicy, was fairly bland, and the vegetables were tough. The flavor just wasn't right. I also tried the Pad Se Ew and Thai Fried Rice, which were similar. The ambiance was non-existent (hopefully, they'll eventually add some music or something). The people working were nice and fairly attentive, but that couldn't make up for the flavor, portions or prices.\n\nBottomline is that if you want Thai food, go to any of the places in nearby Squirrel Hill. If you're in Bakery Square and just want something to eat, go to Social where you can get some reasonable food and a beer for the same price as an entree at Asiatique. | 01

The lunch portion was way too small with tiny diced tofus. I couldnt believe how little noodle the dish had when it came out. The drunken noodle was just salty and not tasty. I wouldnt recommend paying $9-10 for this. The walnut street has multiple restaurants that offer more delicious and fresh lunch with cheaper prices. | 01
|
So I went to this place with some friends as we live really close by. When we arrived we were seated right away and presented with menus.\n\nAs I tend to be a little sensitive with spicy food, I asked the waitress about various dishes and their spiciness level and ended up ordering the pad thai with shrimp, which was quite tasty and had plenty of shrimp although it still had the tails . \nMy husband being the spice lover got the pumpkin curry with chicken, which came with some brown rice and per reports was really good. \n\nWe also ordered the spring rolls for the table and those were nice a crispy and were served with a tasty sweet sauce. As we were finishing our dishes the owner came to our table to ensure that every one in our party was pleased, which was pretty nice. The wait staff was also very helpful in order to help me find a dish that I would like due to my lack of spice tolerance.\n\nOverall I enjoyed the experience and would return. Oh and BTW this place is BYOB.. so bonus for that!! | 12

I love the lunch buffet at Mirch Masala and I'm so glad that it has reopened. My husband and I go to many Indian restaurants in madison and this particular restaurant/chef is our favorite. I find that their ingredients are fresher and better than some other places nearby. My particular favorites are their goat curry, veggie noodles, tandoori chicken, and their sweet naan (peshawari) . What I think sets this place apart are the slight alterations the chef makes to the usual dishes. For example the palak paneer has more than just spinach in it, I think the chef puts in some leek too which I find quite surprising and pleasant. Sometimes there is a slight bbq sauce in the tandoori chicken which is awesome. It isn't the same as other traditionally Indian restaurants, perhaps due to the Nepalese influence. I really appreciate what this chef/owner is doing with the food. He was originally the chef of many known establishments, but saved his money up to get a place of his own where he can cook the food he wants and I respect that and hope this restaurant does well in this hidden location. | 12
|
I wanted to love Mirch Masala. I really did. I tend to hate buffets as I love my food prepared to order. In this case, the food actually had pretty good taste and flavor. The problem? Most of it was cold. Not luke warm, but actually cold. There were four of us and we all had the same complaint.\n\n This was the real downer of MM. We were also well into their lunch service at about 12:30, so it wasn't like we marched in as they opened. The service was pretty mediocre too. If I go back, I'll order off the menu and skip the buffet. | 01

Was treated very Rude by the female manager , my daughter was even upset about how she was to me. Christie has also been rude at another location to me. I do not know her. Makes it not worth it! | 01
|
This location takes FOREVER! do not go here unless you want to sit in line for thirty minutes even when there are only three cars ahead of you. Ridiculous! Even the location by ASU (which is always flooded with people) is WAY faster | 01
|
Absolutely love this place! When we lived in south east we had Zaxby's. We miss eating there, but this place is so much like it. The sauce here is basically Zax sauce. The chicken is really juicy and I love the Texas toast. I went through the drive thru and they were super friendly and fast. We will be coming here again. | 12
|
This is the only Cane's I've been to. Loved it from the start. We live right down the road so it's way too convenient cuz I want it all the time. Lol. Best chicken, fries, Texas toast and Sauce EVER!! I love the restaurant inside too. Super busy and fast. Managers were nice and staff was on it! | 12
|
The best chicken!!! Love their sauce and toast, too! So glad they built one near my home I used to drive to the one on peoria and the I-17 | 12
|
I watched the employee cleaning the tables then WITHOUT washing his hands he gets my food and brings it around. Ewwww is all I thought. First time visit became my last | 01
|
Food is bland, they cook slow, \""toast\"" is extremely soft and not good, fries not crispy, chicken not crispy, its just soggy and unseasoned | 01
|
After hearing my daughter rave about it we decided to try it. I sent the girls down with some money and waited for their return. We opted for the six piece chicken tenders, cole slaw, and French bread basket. \n\nChicken was good, especially dipped into their special sauce. Cole slaw hit the spot and bread was also good but not great. Fries lacked personality.\n\nOverall, nothing special but not bad either. The menu is limited but I guess it works for them. | 01
|
First time eating A&W..... Simply amazingly fresh. The beef was real tender and juicy, it was actual meat. We ate the combo of 2burgers for 6$ made to a combo for about 10$, overall very good fast food. \nEstablishment was a bitndirty but didn't care too much for I was enjoying my meal. | 12
|
I can't say enough about how AMAZING Amey is! My baby is 4mos and I don't know where I'd be without having all of her help the past 4mos. I started off with having latch issues, she came to my house promptly upon our arrival home from the hospital and spent time answering all my questions and helping me breastfeed. She also gave me amazing recommendations such as a chiropractor that has helped drastically with my baby breastfeeding as well and was very knowledgeable on tongue ties and how to breastfeed after having the procedure done. Recently, my supply decreased and we had to supplement with formula and Amey was available to answer all of questions and give me a recommendation for a formula when my baby was allergic to everything else we had given him. She has been a lifesaver, SO responsive and sweet to this spastic first time mom. I HIGHLY recommend Amey and cannot wait to have more babies just so I can keep going to back to her!! Thank you Amey! | 12

We ate lunch here on a slow Saturday afternoon. The food was outstanding - everything we had was very good. We started with the jalape\u00f1o corn bread with the homemade pepper jelly and can highly recommend it. The gooey bluey got high marks and so did the apple cheddar melt. The real high point of the meal though was the roasted cauliflower soup, the homemade soup of the day. \n\nIf this was based on the food alone it would be a five star review but the area that needs improvement is the service. We saw the friendly owner at our table more often than the tie dye clad waiter who left our drinks empty for almost half the meal and did not check up on us. The owner did stop by a few times though so hopefully the service gets straightened out.\n\nIt is nice to have a more upscale pub in town. We will definitely be going back soon. | 12
|
Had a great meal tonight with my husband! Service was excellent as well as the atmosphere and food. I had the pesto avocado griddled cheese with sweet potato fries and a siracha aioli. The griddled cheese was crisp on the outside and melt in your mouth on the inside; the aioli gave the fries just the right amount of kick. My husband had the gooey Louie and thorough enjoyed it. Highly recommend Willie Ty's! | 12

Found a little menu under my hotel room door so I ordered. ORDERED a large half supreme pizza and half Hawaiian pizza with 12 wings half hot and half BBQ. I got a large pizza that was all supreme with pineapple on it and it was a little cold. Pizza over all taste not bad. The wings were ALL hot with no meat and were tiny. Not good at all. Got one small ranch. When I ordered some airhead took my order and the guy delivering didn't have a uniform or a light up on his car, you would have no idea that he was the pizza guy. And there was a bunch of his buddies in the car. My pizza was in his trunk with a bunch of his crap. I'm from SoCal so idk if that's how they do it in Las Vegas but damn. | 01
|
Their chicken Philly was very unremarkable. Their chocolate cake was, however, perhaps the best I've ever had. Melted in my mouth. Best $15.00 piece of cake ever! | 01
|
xl pick up pizza good deal. ghetto area\n wouldn't walk there at nite. Chick taking orders kinda rude. Expensive for delivery but pick up u get what u pay for. | 12
|
Their pick-up specials can't be beat for the price. Is it the \""the best pizza I've ever had\""? No. But it's the best pizza I've ever had for THAT PRICE, for sure. Blows places like Little Caesar's out of the water (no comparison at all).\n\nI get the large 1-topping (and always add an topping), comes out to like a whopping $7.00 (sarcasm). Would be only like $6.00 without I think. I've heard their calzones are great too, but haven't tried them yet. Once I find something I like, for cheap I usually stick with it. My friend ordered a big thing of wings from them once, and I had a few, they were pretty good, but I prefer their pizzas. \n\nThe cheese they use is great, I don't know how they turn a profit at that price as all the ingredients are WAY better than what you'd find at places with similar prices. It's true, the area isn't that great (I live nearby) and it's small inside, but are you trying to rent a room there, or get some food? | 12
|
I ordered from this restaurant using my GrubHub app which was so easy and convenient to use. This was my first time ordering from GrubHub and I have nothing but positive things to write. My food arrived as promised, within the allotted amount of time, hot and delicious. The delivery driver was courteous and the restaurant followed my special instructions to a T. We ordered a pizza and a Philly cheese steak sandwich, both were very delicious. Thanks Roma's pizza and GrubHub. GrubHub must be an awesome place to work with wonderful employees. | 12
|
The Bacon Beer Cheese bread AMAZING! Quite literally my new food obsession. They partnered with Great Dane Brewery and you can really taste and smell the delicious beer flavor. Not sure what the yellow cheese is, but it's a hidden golden treasure! Also tried the peach blackberry bar and the fruit was super fresh and moist-Excellent again! The scones instead of crumbling and drying your mouth out, were flavorful, soft and fresh. Still have yet to try a few other breads and scones we got, but so far everything has been great! My recommendation would be to go to Great Harvest and enjoy! | 12
|
Stopped in today after seeing several positive reviews. Totally agree with what's been said!\n\nWe had 2 great salads...a chicken salad and a ham/brie. Both were outstanding...the bread has good flavor/texture and each of the ingredients in the sandwiches came together to create a great flavor profile.\n\nSuper friendly staff handing out samples of a variety of products.\n\nBest part...they were running a \""buy a sandwich get a loaf of bread free\"" promo, so we left with 2 free loaves of bread! We sampled (and took) a loaf of the cinnamon chip...it was outstanding!\n\nThe sandwiches run around $7-8. They are decently sized, and the quality of the ingredients warrant the price. With a promo like we experienced today, we felt like we got a steal.\n\nOne thing to note...Great Harvest is closed on Sundays...we previously discovered this the hard (and sad) way :) | 12
|
I scrapped my car twice in the same day, and the guys here were amazing. Honest, quick, and quality work. Awesome, awesome place! | 12

When this place was brand new, I was so excited to try it out. It's very local to my office, sushi is my favorite, and I love giving my money to small businesses vs. large chains. The first two times I went, the service was a little slow...attributed to being new, I'm sure of it...but the sushi was fabulous! And the ginger salad dressing is the best I've ever had. Not that sweet creamy stuff that I despise. That said, I was eager to return today for more delicious sushi!\nToday, however, was NOTHING like my previous visits. The waitress brought soup for my friend and then....nothing. We had to ask her to get our drinks and also my salad...she forgot. Ok, it was busy before we came in, she's just gathering herself....no problem. I ordered my usual shrimp tempura roll add cucumber with eel sauce and sriracha on the side. The sushi chef gives me one side of eel sauce, sriracha, and spicy mayo ALL MIXED TOGETHER. I told the waitress that I can't eat mayo, it makes me very sick and can I please have the eel sauce and sriracha in their own small containers. She does this. Then I got my roll.....without cucumber. UGH. She gives me a side of cucumber that I fumble with to eat on top. Crisis averted. Then I bit into the roll....this is where it gets weird. So, usually the shrimp tempura roll is one shrimp stretched straight and deep fried. This was not that. This was a MASS of BABY SHRIMP that was deep fried and put in the middle. Now, I wouldn't have cared if it tasted the same. But it didn't. Have you ever over cooked those baby shrimp? They turn into chewy hard pieces of rubber. Well, that's what this was. Chewy hard rubbery meat with too much greasy batter. So, I speak with the manager. I ask him if there was a change to this roll lately. He says to me \""No. We typically use the one piece of long shrimp, not the baby shrimps. I don't know why the chef did that. I will speak with him.\"" I told him it was not good and I could not eat it. He apologized and walked away. I got my bill. The (uneaten) roll was still on it. I spoke with him and told him that I didn't eat it, it was not good. He said that the most he could do is discount the check 10%. Here's my problem....I said to him....I have no issues paying for anything at all. But this is a customer satisfaction issue and it wasn't even edible. I would gladly pay for the cali roll I took to go and my salad, but I don't understand paying for 90% of a roll that I didn't eat. He said \""I'm sorry for the inconvenience\""....but that is all. 10%....which totaled about $1.60.\nI'm not sure what planet this guy was from. He TOLD ME that it was made wrong. AGREED. Then STILL CHARGED ME FOR IT. \nSo, I won't be back. That's a shame because it was so convenient.\nLet me say also that had the manager said, \""I'm sorry your food was wrong and inedible. I took that $6.25 roll off your check and I hope you will give us another chance to get it right in the future\"". I would have said, no problem....things like this happen. And then I would have been back over and over.\nIt's sad that a manager with no customer service skills killed this place for me. Oh, and I'm in Human Resources for my company with 135 coworkers.\n\nI sure hope this place gets their act together. $6.25 was a small price to pay to get many return visits. Horrible business decision on their part. | 01

We had a pretty good experience here tonight! It's byob, great service and friendly staff. We got some nigiri sushi(maguro and sake) and 3 rolls. \nThe futomaki roll was big, rainbow roll was delicious, and really liked the Alaskan roll too! Also, the house salad dressing was great! Really enjoyed the salad, too. \nIt was a bit pricy ( green tea was $2.99!) but it's hard to find a decent sushi spot in Pittsburgh, so we will definitely come back to try other things! | 12
|
I work in Carnegie and passed this joint on a regular basis, so I decided to get some takeout. I sat down around 12:30, ordered the Udon - a relatively simple dish with noodles and veggies.... they didn't have it ready until 1:15. | 01

Dacia and her crew are the best! Dacia has been my hairstylist for the past 6 years and I love the way my hair looks and feels. My hair is blonde so I have it highlighted about every 6 to 8 weeks. I receive many compliments on my hair on how healthy and shiny it looks. I trust Dacia completely with my hair, I usually just sit on the chair and she takes over with her expertise and sense of style. Dacia and the rest of the stylists are genuine and friendly people with great sense of humor! I would not hesitate to recommend Shag Me Salon to anyone as I know that Dacia and her crew are all true professionals who are knowledgeable in every kind of hair trend. | 12
|
You know what I love? Walking out of a salon completely satisfied and feeling fabulous.\n\nI've been going to see Sam for about three years. I'm not the most consistent about my hair, and Sam always works with me for whatever my hair needs are. I will spend the rest of the day catching my reflection and giggling at how incredible I look. Every single time. \n\nThe new space is totally rad. It's open, colorful, the TVs had \""Fight Club\"" and \""Girl, Interrupted\"" going while I was there, and the atmosphere is relaxed and accepting. I cannot recommend this salon, or it's stylists, enough. Quit surfing Yelp and make your appointment already. | 12
|
I used to really like this place at the old location but this new one seemed very unprofessional and messy but I decided to give it a go because with my work schedule I have a hard time making appointments and they took me as a walk in, Kellee did my hair and she was really quiet and just seemed uninterested in her job. She didn't even ask me much about what I wanted so I assumed she got it, the highlights she did are very uneven so that one side is much lighter than the other, I have long hair with no layers so the cut or trim I thought would be simple but since she spent over an hour drying and curling my hair ( she did this without asking if that was how I wanted it styled) I couldn't even tell what the cut looked like when I left. I don't think she even asked if I liked the final product. once I washed and dried it myself I saw that she butchered my long bangs, they were all choppy and she cut more so they were way too thick, I'm so glad I didn't have her cut layers!... I'm really disappointed I have to go spend more money to have this fixed! It wasn't the worst color or cut I've ever had but for $130 and very poor customer service I definitely feel cheated. If you go here don't go as a walk in, I've had good experiences in the past with Erika, but I won't be coming back here... | 01
|
I wish I had read these reviews and talked to Vernon instead of Nathan. Nathan promised to help me move my ITunes to my new Galaxy. The ITunes were only on the phone I traded in, so when he sent me home to transfer the data myself over some program he sent me (that stupid program downloaded a bunch of crap on to my desktop,) it was all lost. That wasn't entirely his fault. I can suck that up and spend a week downloading all my cd's again, but Nathan refuses to return phone calls and emails. To add insult to injury, when I went back to retrieve the $80.00 case that I left on my trade-in phone, it was gone. Thanks, Nathan. | 01
|
just ate there the other day and i was very happy with the service they provided after there was some confusion about what i had ordered, they sent it back it, fixed it, and it was delicious. smash burger is not the healthiest of places since it has a lot of grease but it does hit that hang over spot. | 12
|
I love Smash Burger first off, so I came in with high expectations. They did a great job at this new location. Food tasted great as usual, presentation was also good. They were pretty busy but got to us very quickly. Great job all the way around. | 12
|
So I've been here twice. First time I got the Truffle Mushroom Swiss and some Smashfries. To go. It was alright. Wasn't overwhelmed - I was hungry and it hit the spot. Next time I came with some coworkers. We were all excited because here was a new place pretty close to where we work and it could be high on our lunch rotation. But that idea came to a crashing halt when we got our food. This time I got the Spinach, Cucumber and Goat Cheese burger. I know. Sounds pretty metrosexual but I was curious. I also got the Haystack Onions. Well when I bit into the burger, I had to wonder if Bessie, the cow I was biting into, hadn't fallen in love with the salt lick and continously deep throated it for the rest of her days. Dang burger was salty as heck. The Haystack Onions were too. I would have let it slide if it were just me. My coworkers, however, said the same thing. It took the three of us to finish the haystack onions because I could not have more than just a bit of that oversalted mess. Service was pretty sucky too. The Einstein that brought the first burger took away the number on the table so the next guy that brought the rest of the burgers only knew to stop at our table because we flagged him down. Yeah yeah. The place is still \""new.\"" So this is the moment - like in a game of Hearts when somebody drops the queen of spades or some card with hearts on it - breaking hearts, as they say. I'm dropping a turd in this circle jerk of a punchbowl with everybody dropping five stars all around. We ain't coming back. Sorry. Smashburger apparently isn't for everyone. | 01
|
Another burger place. Don't get me wrong, I love hamburgers, but I don't need more temptation to eat another burger. This is the third one within a mile, not including McDonlds and The Vine.\n\nIt was not easy getting into this place either if you're East bound on Elliot Rd.\nI drove around that parking lot looking for a way on that doesn't currently exist. :-p\n\nI will tell you service was prompt and polite. Menu appears to have some decent options.\nMy fail was to combine some toppings on the burger that just didn't blend well. I don't understand. Blue cheese, spinach, tomatoe, and onion is GREAT as a salad. On top of a burger it was blech. \nBurger was well done, as in overcooked. And greasy.\nThe egg bun is good.\nFrench fries are alright.\nShake was tasty, but how often do you encounter a shake fail. \n\nPersonally, I dont think we'll be back here very often. | 01
|
Way to much salt on everything and I like salt but this was over the top. I was looking forward the the veggie fries but I couldn't eat more than a few. The chicken was fatty, really fatty and flavorless aside from the layer of salt.\nMy friend raves about the burgers so maybe that's the way to go....\n\n\nHonest to god I wouldn't eat here again for free. Gross. | 01

Very disappointed in this store. Just when I was excited that a Petco was opening across the street, my hopes were immediately crushed once I visited. Although it is a nic store, it was initially hard to locate the items I needed. It started off on a bad not when I entered at about 8pm and wasn't souch as greeted or asked if I needed help locating anything. Myself and another patron both assisted each other in locating the items we needed but after having to search without store help for almost a half hour, we both left empty handed. I gave two stares because the store was beautifully set up and they had ferrets which I adore. I will continue to visit Petsmart on Ft Apache in the future. | 01
|
Stopped in here last week for the preview and absolutely adored the space, the cats, and the whole \""cat cafe\"" experience. They didn't have a menu available yet, but the Thai iced tea sample that they offered was lovely. The cats were so relaxed and friendly, and the staff was really sweet. Too bad I was only in Montreal for vacation, otherwise I would be stopping in every day! | 12
|
Came here after much waiting and anticipation, only to be grossly disappointed. I had to wait outside the door for for a bit, before I was allowed in, because they are afraid the cats might escape, then I was stopped and told to disinfect my hands with the Purell by the door,before entering a very narrow \""lounge\"" area where the (3) cats are. I then was informed to take a seat, (rickety) at an available table, then exit the lounge, to the cash, order my drink, then wait. I ordered an iced tea, (regular size) at a whopping $4.54 (with tax) , then had to wait an eternity before it was finally delivered to my table. Meanwhile, a sour -looking \""waiter\"" approached me while I was still waiting for my tea, and demanded to know if I had ordered anything ! He then had the temerity to demand if I had paid, I replied yes to both, and he stalked off! My tea arrived finally, after a good 20 minutes, but it was merely flavoured ginger ale!! When I informed this same useless, sad excuse for a waiter, that this is NOT iced tea, he replied this is how they make it! Imagine that!! Sorry, boys and girls, this is NOT how you make iced tea, and keep it up with your clueless, useless (non) service and you'll be gone faster than many of your predecessors who previously had the address! To add insult to injury, one of the girls working there, proceeded to wipe down my table with Javex wipes, AFTER I had been sitting there for over 30 minutes, and was drinking my tea! Should not this have been done BEFORE??? Sloppy! As for cats roaming freely about the place, good luck, there are only 3 (on that day) clustered at the window, stay in that sapce, and do NOT really roam about the narrow room, corridor, more like. Overall, a very disappointing, pricey experience. | 01

Oui les chats sont cute mais il n'y avait plus aucune p\u00e2tisserie \u00e0 se mettre sous la dent quand j'y suis all\u00e9 et c'\u00e9tait la bataille pour obtenir assez de chaises pour moi et mes 4 amis. J'esp\u00e8re qu'ils sauront rapidement s'am\u00e9liorer sur le service et les stocks... | 01

One word. Disappointing. I traveled quite far from one end of the Montreal island to the plateau to check out this brand new first ever Cat Cafe. I really felt like there was no design or effort put into the environment and atmosphere. Honestly, it was just a room with some cats in the corner, with a couple of cheap tables and chairs. I seriously just sat down with my coffee for 10 minutes then left. One, it was not a comfortable place, two, I felt cramped and three, there was no cafe ambiance to me. I understand this is a cat cafe, but I feel they should at least put some more thought and consideration into the look and feel of the place. I mean this is supposed to be Montreal's first cat cafe!\n\nOn the plus side, there were some beautiful cats! But sadly, they are not enough for me to come back again. | 01
|
It's too bad. The cats are cute. The concept is nice. I waited for 15 minutes for someone to come serve me and no one came. I spent my time watching people take selfies and photos with cats. And then I left. I'm looking forward for the one on Duluth to open up. Maybe they will have better service? | 01
|
This place is a rip off and does a poor job. I got suckered into buying the \""Unlimited\"" package which is $60 a month (not worth it). I used plenty of spray tan salons in California and was much cheaper and the tan was a lot better. Moving to Arizona I saw the reviews and figured this place must be amazing. WRONG. The tan is streaky, makes you look dirty, and comes off on all of my clothes. I know how to properly take care of a spray tan and this one is just disgusting. Then, I told them I want to cancel my membership because I was moving back to California and they would not make any exceptions and charged me for the upcoming month (which I'm not going to use) and a $75 cancellation fee. I don't recommend going here and they are unhelpful, don't feel welcoming at all, and overall poor at their services. | 01

Love a good local beer, this is the place to stop and shop. The 7th street public market is complete with vendors and a great place to enjoy lunch, grab a few unique things and enjoy time with friends and family it's got something for everyone. \n\nNow Tank's Tap is a new favorite, great local beers on tap and plenty of other craft beer in the fridge. Staff is fantastic and oh so friendly, grab a beer and order something to eat at one of the great lunch spots and they will bring your order over to you at the bar. \n\nSports fan no problem games are on the TV, just a fun spot all around to enjoy a break. Oh and their growler fill system keeps your growler fresh for 2-3 weeks. Love this place! | 12

Very friendly bartenders and lovely chocolate cocktail menu (and beer for those who dont appreciate chocolate!) Glad we found this place! Its inside the New York New York next to the Hershey's store. Fermin our bartender was very good at recommendations! | 12
|
The chocolate bar is where you get your chocolate fix on. And Jennifer, the bartender, is the best!!! I had the Death By Chocolate, wife had Hershey's Caramel Martini and bro in law, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Martini. She made them luscious and strong. She's so nice and makes you feel very welcome. She deserves a raise. \n\nThis is going to be a regular for us every time we visit Las Vegas. And hopefully Jennifer will be here. You can't miss this place, it's right outside the Hershey's store in New York New York. \n\nIf you love chocolate, you'll love The Chocolate Bar. | 12
|
We visited the Hershey's Chocolate World store at street side of the New York New York Casino - on the way toward taking a wild ride on the New York New York roller coaster.\n\nI noticed the Chocolate Bar when we exited the Hershey's Chocolate World store on the ground floor level walking in toward the casino.\n\nMy wife likes chocolate a way more than me. My wife likes martinis - I like rum drinks. My wife was not wild about having a drink at 1:00 PM. However we were interested in a couple of items on the Chocolate Bar menu. Two girls sitting at the bar who were just finishing their drinks, gave the Death by Chocolate Martini drink a high recommendation.\n\nI decided to have the Reese's Pieces Rum Martini & my wife had the Caramel Chocolate Martini. We agreed that the Reece's Pieces Rum Martini was the better of the two. Both drinks came with skewered chocolate candy garnish.\n\nAs we sat there another couple stop by and a single guy stop by to try drinks - which led to pleasant light conversation.\n\nWe recommended the Reece's Pieces Rum Martini to two girls who had sat down as we were leaving.\n\nBoth drinks that we had delivered great flavour. We got a nice buzz from the 3 ounce drinks. Surprisingly there was no sugar high & subsequent crash afterward from the drinks - which was nice.\n\nThis was a great experience and we would recommend the Chocolate Bar to anyone who enjoys a drink. | 12

Can you say BOMB.com! I love this place, it is just what we needed Downtown! I am a vegan and not many options down here by the job but there crust and marinara sauce are vegan and there are so many veggies to choose from. The crew is is always great, fun and inviting. My pizza is alays cooked exactly the way I want, you can't ask for more than that. Check them out! | 12

Very happy with my lashes and would recommend to anyone. I'll continue coming back | 12

The store on 91st Avenue, in Peoria, has been open for a while, but I just got around to checking it out a few weeks ago, when I was redoing my guest bedroom. Up until this evening, it's been great, but up until this evening, I haven't had to test their customer service skills. Bad training.\nOver the weekend, I bought a stretched canvas print and it had a coordinating print, but the coordinating print was poorly stretched, and you could tell the canvas was kind of 'floppy'. I didn't buy it this past weekend for that reason, but after thinking about it, I knew I could bring it home and re-stretch it, but didn't feel like I should have to pay full retail for it, being that I would have to 'fix it'. I asked the cashier if she would give me a discount, because of how poorly it was stretched. She said \""that's the way they all are\"". I told her that I just bought the coordinating print to this one and it was stretched fine. She said \""the most I could give you is 10%\"" and then made a couple of snide comments like \""I guess I don't know my products\"" and \""I'm not lying, they are all like that.\"" After her comments, I told her never mind, and she said, \""ok! have a nice night!\"" VERY snotty. I think At Home needs to train their help in Customer Service a little bit better. Oh, this all happened around 5:45 p.m. tonight, so in case any management people read this, you should be able to figure out who I'm referring to. Blonde, no makeup, rude, cashier. | 01

I am a Professional Designer and after the way I was treated by one of the \""staff\"" members hanging up on me and then after calling back she would not even answer the store phone I was convinced that this person was extremely unprofessional in her job and should not even be working for the Company Garden Ridge which by the way is located in Plano, TX. I called the chief of operations for the corp office and a few others at the top level and let them know about this staff member. I had already spent a $1,000 and was prepared to spend an additional $3,000 to $4,000 today but why should I give a company like this my money with staff treating me like garbage. \nForget it I will take my business else where where I get treated like I am the customer and I get some respect and not hung up on. Oh and I called back 4 hours later and the SAME person answered the phone and she put me on hold and never came back. Unreal. I suggest you NEVER CALL if you plan to shop with these idiots. FYI they do have some incredible items IF you go through the junk to find a few jewels. \nGreat prices on certain items like Big Mirrors are a steal. Art work very reasonable prices if you need fill-in art. \nGood luck to you all. | 01

A major positive of this store is the selection of unique furniture and wall art. I was looking for canvas paintings and there were aisles of them and at an affordable price, which is very difficult to find. There were also plenty of other accents and furniture all over the store, lots of beautiful and unique finds. I like vintage and antique shops, but they tend to carry items that need to be restored and are still pretty pricey so I'd rather go to a store like this and just buy something new that is still unique. | 12

Love the Reggio Emilia philosophy behind this preschool!!! This is a fabulous alternative approach to schooling our children. Simone creates a loving and supportive environment where the children can explore and discover through a self guided curriculum. My son attended one of the Nesting Places' summer camps and absolutely love it! If you are looking for an alternative approach to education Nesting Place would be wonderful place for your little one. | 12
|
My daughter goes here and LOVES it! She loves Miss Simone. I like the natural approach to learning and the fact that she is learning christian values at the same time. The classroom is set up in a very child friendly, open and bright setting. The children get to play and learn outside as well, which all children love. | 12

Unfortunately I can't rate the beer or atmosphere since they locked their doors early and I couldn't try what they have. \n\nYesterday (wednesday 9/17) I swung by and tried to check out this new brewery in the \""booze district.\"" I had done my homework: I went on their website, read about the brewers, noted their cool logo, read about their beer and note the time they were open \""Wed-Fri 5pm-10pm; sat 12p-10p, sun 12p-8p\""\n\nBUTTTT when I went by at 8:37pm I could see in, and tell they were already cleaning up. Weird, but I tried the door anyways. It was locked. I thought I had made a mistake, no sign on the door saying \""we closed early\"" the hours of operation next to the door clearly stated they were suppose to be open until 10pm that night. I rattled the door a bit more, hoping it was some mistake...but no, the guy cleaning up just kept on doing so. The 2-3 persons sitting at the bar just kept on going. \n\nSad, since I was really looking forward to this place. IDK what to tell you...maybe call ahead and make sure they're really going to be open when they say they'll be open? I would hate for any of you all to drive across town and the doors be locked. | 01
|
So far so good! \n\nThey only have 3 of their own beers available right now, but I liked everything I've tasted so far. They are currently offering the regular saison, pomegranate saison, and an IPA, and they also offer other beers on tap like lagunitas. I talked to one of the brewers and he said hopefully by next month they will be ready with a few more beers. The atmosphere is really nice and relaxing with lots of different seating options. They have tables, bar stools and even small couches. \n\nThe owner told me that there will be another brewery opening up soon in the \""booze district\"" so keep your eyes open for that! Looks like this area is really shaping up! | 12
|
The owner is very nice, however the beer is not that great. It was very blah. They only had two of their own beers on tap and the rest where guest beers. I was not impressed with their beer ...seemed a little watered down. | 01
|
We have since come back and tried this brewery and it was open during the hours of operation. I was reluctant...but I'm really glad we did! Loved it. \n\nThey've put a lot of thought and effort into designing the layout of the bar. You have long tables for groups, and a comfortable bar. They have cuckoo clocks on the wall (matching the logo) and wide open windows to see what is going on in the back. \n\nSteve was a friendly brewer who clearly has a lot of knowledge about beer and craft breweries. He's got a laid back attitude but still saw to every persons beer needs. He's willing to talk shop and is clearly passionate about what he does, and proud of the product he makes (as they should be).\n\nWe grabbed a flight of beers since we hadn't tried their beers prior. I personally loved the Lemon grass. My husband liked the double hopped one. They had 3 of theirs on tap+some guest beers. We will be back because they're going to be releasing new holiday editions like a maple one and a few others. \n\nAlso, great for groups, you can order pizza etc and pair with the breweries beers. (We will do this next time).\n\nCheers! | 12

Went here the other day and here is my opinion on the place.\n\nMaybe because it was their soft opening, it was kinda all over the place but:\n\nThe place is small but nice, easy to ready menu and lots of options(Soft opening so not all were available)\n\nThe Sisig which I normally am a big fan of was hard. Not crispy like I've had before but HARD. not pleasant to eat but did have alot of flavor.\n\nAdobo was good but missing a little flavor to be honest. Had it in tacos form and on my bowl.\n\nWe were charged extra for some reason. The garlic rice was .50 extra and that was fine but that didn't explain the extra $3 charge and on our receipt as the order was cut off where it showed the items. Didn't want to wait in line to go back and argue since we had already waited 10 min.\n\nThe kitchen staff and front were completely all over the place and no one was really focused on the customer. Waited in line for 10 min before even ordering. They were yelling at each other back and forth and the guy kept yelling at the cashier though she seemed as if she just started but instead of yelling, he could have explained it to her in a calm way...\n\nReceived food and we were missing some tacos. They did quickly give them to us but it seemed everyone who went here had to go back since they were missing an item so CHECK YOUR ORDER!!\n\nI will try again as maybe they were having issues with it barely being open but so far unimpressed :/... Was super excited after having great food and service at their food truck. | 01
|
Friendly staff. Food was delicious. My kids loved the adobo!!! Cozy seating. Thanks for having clean dining and highchairs. The chamarado is delicious! | 12

Came here to give it a try because we saw it on LV weekly. The inside is small with only about 5 tables. The menu is categorized in a weird way. It just didn't really flow. \n\nThe food we ordered was the beefsteak carne fries, pork sisig and pork tocino. \n\nThe beefsteak fries was French fries with Swiss cheese topped with the beefsteak meat. The meat was super salty and the fries were drenched in salt. Every bite was basically a mouthful of salt. \n\nThe pork sisig taco was just pork in a small taco tortilla. That's it. No toppings, no sauce, just meat and tortilla. It was also salty. The meat was not quite crispy it was more hard like sand when you chewed it. \n\nThe last thing we ate was the pork tocino. It had a little bit of cole slaw on top. Not much flavor in slaw. The meat was salty but there was a hint of sweetness in the marinade. \n\nI feel like this food would be great as food truck options but as a cafe it was pretty basic and not too good. I can still taste all the salt in my mouth now as I am writing this review and I ate 45mins ago. | 01
|
Customer service was horrible my wife waited for 10 min. For someone to take her order. Then I waited for a refill for 15 min while one of workers walked around the kitchen not doing anything. She looked straight at me and didn't ask if I needed anything. Food is OK not the greatest. If customer service is better I would recommend it. | 01
|
Overpriced food soaked in salt. Need I say more? Filipino dish is naturally salty but their food is overly salty. We ordered beef steak (bistek) and it was horrible. All I tasted was lemon and salt. Whatever happen to the beef? We also ordered pork tocino and again, it was horrible. It was chopped up into tiny pieces and overcooked. It seemed like I was eating \""pork tocino chips.\"" The lumpia was not fully cooked in the inside. Lastly, their picture menu is misleading. They had eggs with the tocino when in fact they don't come together. The eggs need to be ordered separately. \n\nOverall, I was not pleased with their food, their food presentation, and their misleading menu. | 01
|
The food here is great! I had the tacos (choice of three) Chicken Adobo, Pork Sisig and the beefsteak for $6.95. All great tasting and complimented with a vinaigrette slaw; however my favorite was the Pork Sisig. Centrally located, food is delicious, therefore I will be back!!! | 12
|
The sisig burrito was dry, crunchy, and not what I expected. My friend got the Tocino burrito which was also dry and not sweetened at all. | 01
|
Ehh not worth my time or $$ \nI rather go to El gordo and get my tacos \n\nIdk about their rice dish but the meat on my tacos is the big thing here.. so I would say it ain't all that .. \n\nWon't come back again I'm sorry.\n\nThis place takes forever to make my orders and I was not satisfied. | 01

Hey have you heard have you heard that White Rabbit opened a brick and mortar location right here in Vegas? Where you say? Right off Jones between Spring Mountain and Desert Inn, the same plaza as 168 market.\n\nI've only had White Rabbit candy. Anything from this White Rabbit or the food truck prior to this? Nope, but I've heard a lot of great things about them. They do have a good fan base a lot of people like them. They may have been featured in some tv show or newspaper/magazine. Honestly I don't even know, just heard their a foodtruck and that people like them. I liked their customer service.\n\nA group from work went here after having heard they opened. I told the staff that we've never had them and wanted something they were known for or was fans raved about. The sisig was suggested without hesitation. So I was hoping it was gonna be amazing. No one in the group liked it. It was pretty bad that I had to eat sisig somewhere else to satisfy my craving. It was pretty dry and didn't taste right at some parts, mushy at others. It remembered me of a overcooked mixture of canned corned beef and some other items. What I got, the rice bowl combo with drink was about $8-9 food truck size and price, wasn't filling. \n\nI probably wouldn't go back. But at least they have other items other than sisig and have a fan base. | 01
|
Good eats by great people!! | 12
|
White Rabbit was just okay. I tried the sisig burrito and made it a combo which comes with a drink and a side. Side orders consist of fries, coleslaw, lumpia, taco, etc. I chose lumpia. First things first, the lumpia pieces were TINY! They were a little bit bigger than a freaking tater tot. They weren't anything spectacular either. I bet they were frozen. Also, the drinks are only one size and they are 12oz. I didn't dine in, but I would sure hope they offer free refills if you choose to eat there.\n\nThe burrito was ok, but it was missing flavor. I wish I would have grabbed some banana ketchup on my way out because the burrito needed it badly. The sisig was crispy, but that's about all I can say about it. I didn't taste any onion or jalape\u00f1o as it says accompanies the sisig during cooking. I probably wont be back. | 01
|
I'm a fan of the White Rabbit food truck, after living in So Cal, and I was pretty stoked to have it here in Vegas. However, I was unpleasantly surprised by their customer service at their grand opening a couple weeks ago. \n\nIt was my Mom's first time having their food, which was delicious -totally satisfies a tasty bite type of craving- but it felt like we were undermined when everyone around us, EVERYONE, was being catered to but us. It seemed like they were either friends of owners and workers there, or familiar customers, so that's why they were given a lot of attention. Someone did come up to us as we were finishing up, but he seemed so distracted, that I don't think he was even listening to whatever we were conversing about. Trust me, my mom and I are not ones to be attention seekers, but it just made our dining experience awkward, especially when they started giving shirts away to everyone they knew, which was everyone in the restaurant but us. At this rate, I'd stick to the food truck if that option still stood. | 01

I've only ever had White Rabbit at FoodieFest but found out that they had opened a restaurant on Jones so I thought to stop by and grab some food. I definitely liked their Beefsteak burrito but found it was too much food for me (though not a bad thing, I just personally can't finish it), so I decided to order tacos and some other things like lumpia and champorado (because, what Filipino would pass these up!?)\n\nThe food is very tasty but what made the experience deserving of a 5-star rating was the exemplary service I received. The servers/cashiers Justin and Kristin were very informative and were very helpful in helping me make a selection with their recommendations. They were very nice and friendly and their cook for the evening, Arnold(?) was fast and efficient so I did not have to wait long to receive my order. \n\nAll in all, I did enjoy my food as well as my visit there and would happily recommend it to my family and friends!! | 12
|
Did I get a \""Bad Batch\"" or what? Got the Tocino bowl w/Garlic Rice & 2 Eggs. 3 Tacos; Bisteak, Sisig & Adobo. Unfortunately, the \""Shredded\"" Tocino, Bisteak & Sisig were just way too salty! If these are \""Franchise\"" recipes, then it's too bad. If not, please taste the food before sending it out & balance the flavors. Especially if people are going to pay $17+ for 2 small dishes. Friend & I couldn't even finish the food and the serving was not big. High sodium dishes... True Filipino Cuisine! Lol | 01

Tres bon cafe nouveau look tres class et embiance genial le service est rapide et les gens sont tres courtois | 12

Tr\u00e8s mauvaise exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 cet endroit. Mauvais service (caf\u00e9 ordinaire servi sans cuill\u00e8re, ni lait, pas de serviettes de table), nourriture froide, serveur trop timide \u00e0 qui il faut tout demander. Il y a du travail \u00e0 faire! Les belles photos et beaux sites Internet ne suffisent parfois pas. Bonne chance! | 01

Enjoyed a wonderful meal tonight with my daughters. Attentive service, beautiful space, and varied menu. Our favorite menu item? Bacon wrapped asparagus. Smoky, bacon goodness. And since asparagus is included, it must be good for you, right? The seaweed salad was well-seasoned. Tasty tempura, well-done dumplings, and al-dente ramen rounded out a great meal. Looking forward to trying more of the yakitori. So pleased to see another great addition to our neighborhood's restaurant scene. | 12
|
could say more about this wounderful place, evreything is so delicious especially the ramen. i would definately come back for it. | 12

Japanese tapas! I've been waiting for this place to open for weeks...my friends and I went on a Friday night and were immediately greeted and seated. It's really urban inside, with traditional Asian accents. The ropes separating the tables are a unique touch.\n\nOur sever was super friendly and informed us that they were still \""soft opening\"", and let us know that they hadn't yet gotten their full inventory in, but would be continually adding new and exotic options in the future. Beer was almost all Japanese and I couldn't resist Sapporo on draft. They have a large sake list and I will definitely try some next time.\n\nEverything is family-style, meant to be shared, so you can feel free to try something you've never had before (Takoyaki, or octopus balls, WOW) and not feel like you committed to something you may not like. We had takoyaki, beef wrapped enoki mushrooms, gyoza, and Tonkatsu (pork broth) ramen, and it was so insanely good...like, REALLY good. It comes out randomly, but that's part of the fun. My partner and I placed bets on which items would come next, haha, it's a good game. All told,I can't believe they've only been open a few days. \n\nHere's to many more good nights! | 12

Yayyy! Plaza Midwood has a new restaurant. They are having their grand opening on 10/17 and said that there will be free bites- so check it out.\n\nFirst of all- THANNK YOU. Thank you for taking a risk and opening in PM's awkward strip mall. This strip mall has improved so much in the past few years. It is really awesome to see businesses going in there. \n\nWe ordered the bacon wrapped asparagus and squid for starters. The asparagus was green asparagus and white asparagus (nice touch). They were good. I wasn't blown away, but definitely tasty. \n\nWe also ordered the pork ramen. THAT MY FRIENDS is delicious. The pork is marinated in teriyaki sauce and it the broth is made over a ridiculous amount of time (8 hours? Something like that). I really want to try the miso and the chicken ramen. I have big plans for eating plenty of ramen this winter. The portion was so large that I have plenty for lunch today. We were stupidly confused by their menu. When it says \""extra\"" they mean \""you already have this, but if you want to pay extra for a another egg it is....\"". That was our fault, but just wanted to give a heads up to anyone else who also my struggle with reading menus.\n\nOverall, the place is delicious. I think the prices a little high, but not too high to come back. I am interested in trying more of their small bites. | 12
|
Decor very cute, swanky. Service 5 star!!! Drinks unique and excellent. Yelling at staff head chef....yep they got one!! Lamb lollipops the size of actual lollipops....6 dollars each....that's there too.....!!?? Family style dishes for sharing....that won't fill a bird.....yikes. its tapas... so dont go if you are hungry or make sure it's payday....I won't be back unless I am meeting someone for drinks. Im going for dinner where I get a meal after a long hard day. | 01
|
Must try the pork ramen! The broth is out of this world. Was not a fan of the pancake...too fishy for me. Great atmosphere. The sake nigori and the blueberry mojitos were delicious. I'm going to introduce everyone I know to this place! | 12
|
This spot was a newfound GEM. I am so happy that finally there is a true Izakaya (Japanese gastrolounge) here in Charlotte finally: Yakitori & Other small bites, Home-made Ramen soups, and Sakes. Just to level set, this is an izakaya restaurant so don't expect sushi (that's offered at their other restaurant, Yama Asian in Southpark) or any hibachi. Their ramen soup broth is made from scratch and cooked down for a really loooooong time, the way you're supposed to it. Everything we had was skillfully seasoned, prepared, and grilled/cooked. \n\nHighly recommended and not highly priced like Baku in Southpark. | 12
|
This ramen was a joke. Our waitress told us it was Top Ramen, and I guess I had the creamy chicken flavored with what seemed like sliced lunchmeat in it (ordered the $13 Tonkotsu)\n\nThe waitress was not very pleasant after we questioned why they used such poor ingredients. Will not be returning. | 01
|
Started the experience with a cup of green tea. The tea was room temperature and with a little honey it added the sweetness I was looking for. Also added a small bite of Buta Kakuni (braised pork belly). It was soaked in a ginger type sauce. It was good. \n\nOrdered the Tonkostu (pork bone broth). This was amazing!! This is what made my experience. The pork broth soup has been simmering for about 12 hours. Very flavorful that came with a creamy base. On top was braised pork belly that were sliced very thin. Along with the pork came bamboo shoots, half of a hard boiled egg, and the ramen noodle. \nThe ramen noodle had a good texture. The noodle soaked up the pork broth sauce well. I also ordered extra noodles in my dish and it was very filling!\n \nIf you are looking for a new restaurant in the Charlotte area and looking for that Ramen fix, I would highly suggest this place. It is worth the $14 for a bowl of Ramen soup. Next time I would like to try the Soba Noodles. | 12
|
Shocked by all these good reviews. We thought the food was terrible and the atmosphere cold. It's a shame since we love the original in South Park. | 01
|
I was really excited when I heard there was a new ramen place in town, but I guess I had too high of expectations for this place.\n\nWhen I first arrived, I thought that the atmosphere was really great and the decorations were pretty awesome. I sat at a table where there were ropes hanging from the ceiling to the bottom separating us from the other table. I thought it was pretty cool. The lighting in there was dim, so it felt like a great intimate place for a date, or just a small group of friends.\n\nThe ramen was what I was excited about, but the their Small Bites were what was amazing to me. Definitely try the Ika Geso (fried squid tenticles), Takoyaki (fried octopus ball) and Hamachi Jalapenos. The Tuna Salad is pretty wicked as well! If you go there, TRY THE SMALL BITES!!! Now as for their ramen, it's a different story. I had ordered the Tonkostu Ramen and asked for it to be spicy. I did not taste any spiciness in it or did I really taste any flavor as it was very bland. It really made me sad that it was bland.\n\nThe service here was really nice. I quite enjoyed our waiter as he was friendly and very patient to explain things when we weren't sure what it was that we were ordering or wanted more of an explanation.\n\nI know I want to give this place another try in the future, and I hope that when I do, they step up their ramen game. | 01
|
First time trying Yama Izakaya and went with a group, two of whom had been once before. Waitress was fantastic, very friendly and attentive. When we inquired about gluten-free options, we were informed YI does not have any, and we were told this isn't an oversight, but rather the owner is anti-gluten-free. Meaning, he is one of those people who doesn't believe Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities are actually a \""thing\"". Not a great start...\n\nMost of the group ordered noodle soup dishes and thought they were fine, but not good enough to patronize the establishment again. One of the group, the GF member, ordered teriyaki chicken, even though they knew it wasn't GF, but it was the best we could do... The chicken pieces were HORRIBLE, chewy, rubbery and gristly, and worse than you would expect from the cheapest, greasiest Chinese take-out place. \n\nTo be clear, YI doesn't even offer a GF noodle option, much less GF soy sauce. Rice noodles would be such an easy option for a restaurant such as YI to offer, but first the owner would have to care about GF guests. \n\nNeedless to say, we won't be returning. | 01
|
The service was great here. The management was very attentive and polite and the food was excellent. I had the miso cod and the tonkatsu ramen. Everything was excellent. I will def be returning to this restaurant more often even if it's out of the way for me. | 12
|
We dined here for my boyfriends birthday a few days ago and we were highly disappointed with the food. The miso ramen had a rank, overly fishy taste and smell making it inedible. The pork ramen was okay, but it also had an unpleasant, spoiled taste to it as well. Overall I would say that the food is overpriced and poorly executed. Soul gastrolounge down the street is a much better option for both ramen and tapas. | 01
|
This food was absolutely delicious. I ordered udon and my two friends both ordered ramen. We all thought it was very tasty. Honestly I will be dreaming about it until I come again. My only complaint is its a little pricey for my budget but definitely worth it.\n\nAlso, so pleased to find the heated fancy toilet in the women's bathroom. This certainly elevated my experience. | 12
|
It's great to have Japanese restaurant that isn't sushi or hibachi or a Japanese steakhouse. They have Hitachino Nest White Ale on tap, which I didn't even know was possible. \n\nWe ordered takoyaki, okonomiyaki, gyoza, and ebi shumai. You can definitely share and make a meal out of the small plates. And that's what you would do at an izakaya in Japan. \n\nTakoyaki and okonomiyaki both came drizzled with sauce, mayonnaise, and topped with bonito fish flakes. They were excellent! Takoyaki was nicely grilled on the outside but soft on the inside. Also very hot, so you know it's fresh. Okonomiyaki was tasty, but not as thick with tons of cabbage as I would like. Still, this is the only place in Charlotte that has it and it was good with crispy bacon on the bottom. \n\nGyoza were crispy on the bottom, and dumpling skins were tender without falling apart. My boyfriend didn't enjoy the ebi shumai as much but I think they were comparable to what I've had in Japan. \n\n To cap it all off, the ladies room has a heated toilet seat with a washlet. \n\nI will definitely be going back to try the ramen! | 12
|
The food was alright, but nothing really stood out. We had the Spicy Miso, which was zero spicy, and a handful of the \""small bite\"" appetizers. Nothing was bad, but again, nothing was really good.\n\nThe waitstaff was really annoying, and we didn't really have just one waiter. There was about 4 or 5 different people that constantly checked on our table, each bringing us/refilling our waters without asking. Usually this is something I'm for, but at one point we had 12 glasses of water for 6 people at our table. Instead of taking away the empty cups, the random waiters just continued to fill them.\n\nThis is also one of those places that doesn't write your order down, and they attempt to memorize everything. Some places do it well, however this is not one of those places. We had to remind our waitress a handful of times about missing items that she forgot to put in, and they brought us wrong food twice. | 01

I've been here a total of 4 times. I'm not sure I'll ever go back.\n\nVisit #1 - They were most recently opened and my BF and I were anxious to try on a weekend evening. We walked in and waited about 5 mins for anyone to even acknowledge our presence. They were fairly busy and seemed short staffed but I could see open table so surely they would seat right away. Once we were greeted we were told it would be about 5 or 10 mins for a table to be ready. As we were starving we left to go elsewhere.\n\nVisit #2 - Came in with a party of 5 and were seated right away on a Friday night around 7pm. Our waiter asked if it was our first time (it was for all of us) and he proceeded to give us a brief but informative rundown of the menu and took our questions and answered them expertly. I had bacon wrapped asparagus and a drink special. Very Yum! Everyone was very pleased with the service and quality of the dishes. \n\nVisit #3 - Me and the BF came back a few weeks later on a weeknight. Our waiter once again asked us if we wanted a rundown of the menu and we declined as we were both in the mood for Ramen (he had gotten it previously and loved it). This was was the best thing I can remember eating as of late. So much flavor I didn't want to stop eating. I was unable to finish but I was also glad I had enough left over to eat again the next day. We were promptly provide with to-go soup containers to transport our delicious broth and noodles home.\n\nVisit #4 - It is bitterly cold out this winter and I promised the BF I'd grab some Ramen and bring it home for dinner so we could enjoy it bundled up on the couch. I walked in today and was greeted promptly as the restaurant was empty at 5:30pm on a weekday. This is how the conversation went with the Hostess ...\n\nMe: Hi, Yes ... I'd like to place a take-out order please.\nYama: Oh, we don't do that.\nMe: I can't place an order to take with me?\nYama: No, our plates are very small and we just don't do that.\nMe: But I've been here before an taken my left overs home in a container.\nYama: Yeah, we can't do that. But you can sit at the bar and have a drink.\nMe: Um, no thanks ... I'll figure something else out.\n\nHOW/WHY WOULD YOU REFUSE A PAYING CUSTOMER THAT WANTS TO BUY YOUR FOOD AND LEAVE YOU A TIP FOR PREPARING THE ORDER THAT WOULD MOST CERTAINLY COME BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN ... NOT TO MENTION HAS BEEN TELLING EVERYONE SHE KNOWS HOW GOOD THE PLACE IS?!\n\nNeedless to say, I'm extremely frustrated and disappointed. Really had my heart set on some Ramen but went to Fuel pizza instead (which was super friendly and very delicious). | 01

Really good food, quick, clean and many gluten free options! Highly recommend this place, would've given 5 stars if the staff was friendlier in talking to me about the GF options. | 12

Love this place. Have been here about half a dozen times in the last few weeks. GREAT alternative to fast food. Many healthy options and I love that you can customize your bowls and salads. Tokyo Joe's is like the Chipotle of Japanese food (in a good way!). I love that they put the sauces on the side and give you the option to do double veggies instead of rice or noodles. You can really be in control of the calories that you are consuming here. Sushi is pretty good. Not outstanding but good nonetheless . My favorites are the peanut skewers, crab cheese wonton roll, Yakitori bowl, Ichigo salad and the unsweetened pomegranate green tea. They advertise no MSG, all natural proteins, wild seafood, and organic produce where possible which makes this place even more appealing. Staff has always been friendly and helpful, and the restaurant is always clean and neat. Great option for a quick and healthy bite to eat. | 12

A bunch of people from my office were ordering it, so I decided to partake. I had an udon noodle bowl with green curry. Very, very mediocre food. I don't understand how that can be called curry. Their noodles were extremely watery. I would not recommend their food if you're looking for taste. | 01

So I waited to try this place out, because I wanted to experience it once the kinks were worked out. My boyfriend & I went there for the 1st time last night- we both opted for the build your own bowls. I order a regular size 1/2 chicken, 1/2 steak, with all the veggies, udon noodles, & a spicy peanut sauce. I also ordered a side of spring rolls.\n\nI was very disappointed with the quality of the meat in my bowl. I asked for all white chicken & I received both dark & light. The steak, & I hate saying this, was something I should have fed to my dog. The veggies were cooked well, still had some crunch to them. However the onions on the bowl were raw. The sauce did not taste spicy or like peanuts. The noodles were very watery. \n\nThe spring rolls however were very good! Overall for $14.00, it was not worth it. The quality, & taste was just not good. I should have went to Zoe's or Chipotle, but next time I know that if I am looking for a better, casual dinning option for dinner, I will go else where.\n\nIt is a shame, because I really wanted to like this place & was excited to try it, because it had good Yelp reviews. | 01
