Kyra M.

wanted to try this place for so long after reading all the positive reviews from Yelp. Sadly, all the positive reviews turned out to be the opposite. First off, the host/server, whoever that person is, she needs to be out of that place because she's going to be the main reason why people won't come back. She has no customer service. didn't even smile at once, didn't know what she's doing, and rude. Second, the bathroom is not only dirty, but it's nasty! 3rd. food is okay, I have nothing against it, just the portion is too small for the price. and maybe you guys need to specify in the menu that all the tocilog are only served in the morning. as a first-time customer, I assumed that all the common breakfast are served all day as they listed next to your main entrees. Lastly, I love the coziness and the vibe, but it's too hot inside. considering you came outside where it's 100ish degree already.

Oh my fishes the Lechon Kawaii was spectacular. The accompanying sauce is liver based and so good. The pork belly is fried and perfectly seasoned and salty. Just to die for! I couldn't wait to taste more so I also ordered Pancit Bihon and a large egg drop soup trusting I'd want some to take home for later! Even better than the good was chatting with the lovely couple that own this establishment. Their love story was so fun to hear! I highly recommend dropping in and exploring the flavors! I'm told the spice levels can get quite high (though I'm a sissy so kept everything mild). They apparently just some great events, comedy nights, and music weekly so definitely check them out. Just as I was about to leave they busted out karaoke so I stayed and ordered more flavors! The garlic rice was tasty with an enjoyable crunch. The cauliflower bites were great, lightly friend with a creamy sauce that had a bit of a kick. Finally the quail egg I tried was a bit of creamy deliciousness like a tiny devils egg inside a baby egg. Highly recommend! My only suggestion would be to upkeep the bathrooms

I had their wings and french fries and they were really good. I'm excited to go back and try their Filipino food. Hidden gem in Avondale

Really great genuine Filipino food and drink. Good music and karaoke too. Friendly service.

Loved the food, it was delicious.  My 84 year old mother loved her peanut sauce dish. It was relaxing and very enjoyable.

What a treat to dine at Backstreet Asia. When visiting Phoenix, I always try to find the best Asian restaurants, and I'm surprised it took me this long. First, they have events and karaoke on the weekends. I so happened to come during the week. Boo... I met Lin, the chef/ owner, and she was very nice and personable. We chatted it up a bit. The restaurant is a pretty good size to host an event or dinner with a big group. Food: Crown Royal with the specialty Ice Pork Shanghai Lumpia Lechon Kawali / Fried Pork Belly Kare Kare The lumpia was ok, and I asked for vinegar instead of the sweet sauce. I like the acidic taste. The Kare Kare was a hit and I didn't even use the bogoong. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the lechon was tender and tasty. I think it's the perfect serving size for one. Overall, I'd return again. There are a lot of items on the menu I want to try.

So goood that yu will keep asking for more me and my wife love it‼ try anything I promise yu will keep coming back

I know ... I know... three stars only!? I wanted to give star this joint but it was really just okay. I was so excited to see that had pancit ... turns out it was something like pancit. A type of glass noodles with tiny strips of a veggie. Not even sure of what kind. Yeah. So, the lumpia was ok. Tiny like popcorn lumpia's lol! I actually wish that was a thing. I'd tear them up. Anyway, chicken wings were good but we can get good wings from other places. The service was pretty good. They told us there is a karaoke night and we should come check it out, but we haven't done that yet. The inside was OK. Definitely didn't look like a Asian spot. I wish success to this place because it has potential. And I'm a leave it at that.

Great Service .... Delicious Food I'm so glad we found this lil gem. Hands down the best we have had in some time. On this visit we shared Lumpia, BBQ spare ribs, pork sinigand, and garlic fried rice. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful and well-balanced. Chef Linchilan is an incredible chef, who uses only the freshest ingredients and seasonings. I think my favorite item was the Lumpia, it had a great savory flavor and the sweet chili sauce was the perfect pairing. My sister really enjoyed the Pork sinigang, it was tender, fall of the bone and just enough tang. everything thing we were served was spot on. You can really taste the quality of ingredients and the plating is beautiful. If you're looking fir a great dining experience, stop in. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the prices are wallet friendly. Can't wait to come back and try more menu items.

We were really looking forward to dining at this restaurant, especially after reading so many glowing reviews and choosing it as the spot to celebrate my mom's birthday. She was especially excited, having spent a lot of time researching places for this special day. While we didn't want to dampen the occasion we decided not to speak to staff, we ultimately felt it was important to share our experience. When we arrived, we were the only table in the restaurant. As we began to order, we were told that two of the dishes we wanted--meals for two out of the three of us--were unavailable. While this was disappointing, we adjusted and ordered the Lumpia, Chicken Pancit Bison, Chicken Singaporean Noodles, Chicken Fried Rice, and Spicy Bulgogi. The Lumpia arrived first and was hot and tasty, which gave us hope. However, we then waited another 45 minutes for the rest of the food--despite being the only guests in the restaurant. When it finally came, everything was cold except for the Spicy Bulgogi. The chicken in several dishes was severely overcooked and dry (as shown in the photo), and the Fried Rice tasted stale and far from fresh. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. We spent over $80 on food that wasn't even mediocre, paired with service that was virtually non-existent. We had high hopes, but will absolutely not be returning or recommending to anyone.

The curry tasted good with the rice but that was about it! I had to clean the shrimp and was very disgusted. The beef did not look like beef so didn't try it and the chicken was very rubbery. I will never again get anything from this place.

Dave A.

Top-notch food and service, a nice family owned restaurant, this food is delicious. I live in the neighborhood and this place has to be my go to spot for any type of cuisine.

Is a small place, I was kinda sketchy about it cause the way it looks it had a little stage and a bar I didn't think the food would be good but food was good. Service was great the only server they had she was nice, friendly and so helpful. It doesn't look like it gets busy at all, I was their in the evening and wasn't busy at all. The pancit was good I didn't think it would be enough but I couldn't finish it it got me full, the shrimp it was good but I wasn't a fan of it but that's just me. The lumpia was ok didn't have much flavor the sauce that came with it was ok I guess that helped with the flavor. I will return but would try different plates

There's some type of green hot sauce they have that is enough to give this restaurant five stars alone. FRESH, flavorful and healthy. I cannot wait to go back. Part 2: we went back again tonight for dinner after going there for the first time for lunch. Again all of it was soo good. I HAVE to know the story now about why the street sign ended up being spelled "perubian" instead of Peruvian. Different staff this time, but equally as amazing and knowledgeable. Had such a nice time.

It was both gorgeous and delicious!!! Nestled in an Avondale strip mall, this cozy little Japanese place serves up a deep menu of over 60 different sushi rolls, five different kinds of ramen, as well as staple Japanese and Korean entrees like Teriyaki, Bulgogi, and Katsu bowls. The restaurant is pristine: everything in the front of the house was clean and the decor was a balance of both modern and traditional Japanese. Their lunch rush was steady; the dining room was well occupied shortly after opening. And the service was attentive and genuine! This is, hands down, one of the best sushi spots in the area! I will be back!

Unfortunately, I have to change my review. We've been coming here since Sushi Love first opened,…read moreand in the beginning this place was on top of things, the servers were friendly and attentive, and while the kitchen could be a little slow at times, it was never anywhere near as bad as what we experienced today. Here's the timeline from when we arrived to when we finally received everything: 12:10 - Seated 12:20 - Finally able to order drinks and food 12:27 - Received my single sushi roll 12:54 - Guest received his entree 1:04 - Just received our gyoza appetizer It took over 10 minutes after being seated before the waitress even got us water. I was trying to look up other restaurants in the area because we were about to leave. What made this even more confusing was that it was a Sunday right after opening, and the restaurant wasn't even busy. Because the appetizer took so long, I ended up splitting my single sushi roll with my guest so he wouldn't have to sit there hungry while waiting on his food. Even then, it still took over 30 minutes for his entree to arrive, which was ridiculous considering it was just one dish. The most frustrating part was waiting nearly 45 minutes for a single appetizer order of gyoza. We were honestly close to leaving before it ever arrived, and I would have left still hungry. If the appetizer had come out in a reasonable amount of time, I could have actually enjoyed the roll I came there for in its entirety instead of having to split it just so we could get by while waiting. The pacing of the food also made no sense. Appetizers should come out before entrees, not after everything else. Instead, one person was eating while the other sat there waiting, which made the entire experience awkward and frustrating. If the waitress paced things correctly it would have made a huge difference and likely helped prevent the kitchen from getting backed up. On top of that our waitress never apologized for the delays or acknowledged the excessive wait times, not even after we waited over 10 minutes just to get water. She did repeatedly asked if we "needed anything else" while we were still waiting on food. Like, yes, we needed the food we already ordered? Overall, the experience felt extremely disorganized and uncaring from both the service staff and the kitchen. What's especially disappointing is that this wasn't our first bad experience here. This is now the second visit in a row where we've dealt with extremely slow service and a noticeable lack of attentiveness (last time we were there they forgot some food, not only ours but also a table next to us). This place used to be good, which makes the decline even more frustrating, the kitchen needs an overhaul or something. Sushi is good and not as slow but ordering anything from the kitchen or getting drinks is like pulling teeth to get. Sushi Love isn't a huge restaurant, so it's hard to understand how things have become this disorganized. We gave the restaurant another chance hoping things would improve, but this was by far the worst experience we've had here.

Both pizzas were interesting. The Lichfield Park pizza has pesto sauce and corn on it, as well as cheese, so you might get a slice of that after your "guests" scarf their first helping. You better grab a slice of the Brooklyn pizza right away, though, because it's a traditional-looking pizza with pepperoni and sausage. You won't get a second shot at a slice. You'll get to finish the rest of the "adult" strawberry & bacon salad, though, with spinach instead of lettuce, walnuts, strawberries, and bacon bits. It doesn't come with ranch or even ranch-colored dressing, so they might not risk trying a pinkish salad dressing as a dip for their pizza crust. It's a very good salad and helped my vacation digestion, since I'm not used to the 110° August heat. Papa Paul's Pizza is less than a mile away from my room at the Wigwam. Going there would even be walkable in the summer heat if the fences around the Wigwam had pedestrian gates. As it is, both driveway gates on that corner of the Wigwam are slotted through the perimeter fence far from the place where Papa Pauls and the resort are just across the street from each other. I'm too delicate for a 0.9-mile walk in that much sun. I enjoyed a glass of wine at the bar to rehydrate, though, while I waited for the pizzas to come out of the oven.

Limited wine list for an Italian restaurant. We started with a caesar salad to split - SO much cheese, it was too much. I understand some people like that, but I wish they would have lightened up the amount and just have people ask for more if they want that. I ordered the chicken & broccoli alfredo. Sauce was clearly made in house, but the pasta itself was generic and did not taste like it was homemade. Good amount of protein though. We also ordered the mango and classic cannolis, and these stole the show. Flaky to perfection! If we come back, we might try the pizzas to see how it compares to the pasta.

My husband and I had been once before for our anniversary and the food was incredible. Tonight really showed how much heart and love goes into this restaurant when a little boy peaked out from behind the wall & asked if my kids wanted to play with him as we waited to be seated. After making sure it was okay with who I'm assuming is the owner & family of the little boy, my kids went to the table he was at to color and play with him. Everyone was so kind and gracious with my kids, and the little boy Sebastian was the highlight of our night. He was such a sweet kid & the best little host. My kids had a great time with him as we waited for our food. I got the carbonara, my dad got the chicken pesto & my husband got a 3 meat penne. The kids got chicken tender and fries. Each dish was delicious and tasted authentic. The bruschetta dip was amazing. My husband doesn't normally like bruschetta, but how the flavors were balanced had him eating most of it. The bread was perfect, crisp outside with a softer inside. My carbonara was creamy and flavorful. Most carbonara upsets my stomach because of dairy (but I still order it anyway because it's my favorite), but how they made it here left me feeling satisfied without an upset stomach which is a huge win in my book! It warmed my heart to feel like my kids were welcomed in a restaurant with open arms when many restaurants view kids in general as a burden. We will definitely be back! Personally, we've never been to a restaurant that provided this quality of service and hospitality in addition to the best Italian food we've had at a more than reasonable cost! 10/10 recommend this to anyone!

They compliment the culture extremely well, and help set the atmosphere. When we went for lunch on a Sunday, it was pretty empty (only 1 other table). I would recommend not worrying about the low attendance. I think this has to do more with the fact that Downtown Avondale tends to be pretty empty. I think that they would do really well and be a lot busier if they were in a different location. The service was amazing, our server was attentive and gave out really good recommendations. While all the food was delicious...the free bread was my favorite. It was perfectly toasted and seasoned and included a brushetta topping on the side. I could have just ate that and would have been extremely happy. We ordered an appetizer of Calamari, it was a good portion size for the cost. The Calamari was well seasoned and crispy. I ordered the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli. It was flavorful with large pieces of mushroom mixed with the sauce. Even though it was a white cream sauce, the dish was suprisingly light, I would recommend trying it. The other two people I was with both ordered the Frutti de Mare. There was a good mixe and amount of seafood in the dish and the pasta was cooked perfectly. While the marinara sauce was good, I don't think it was something that was out of this world. I just think it needed a little more seasoning or some kind of kick to round it out. Overall, great restaurant and would recommend.
