This place has completely gone downhill and honestly feels like it's being run into the ground. You spend $50+ on food and they're serving salads with maybe 2 ounces of chicken on them. When I pointed it out, the response was basically that I'd have to pay extra to get a normal portion. That's absurd for what they charge. The condition of the restaurant is just as bad. The walls have looked patchy, unfinished, and run down for well over a year like the place is stuck in a permanent half-remodel. What's worse is reading through the reviews and seeing the same complaints over and over again. Management responds with the same copy-and-paste line about "passing it along to the team" and "taking concerns seriously." Clearly nothing is actually being done. At this point it feels like they're just hoping people stop complaining. Instead of the canned responses, how about giving customers a real timeline for when this restaurant will actually be fixed? Until then, there are plenty of other places nearby that actually care about their food quality and the condition of their restaurant.

Ordered a grilled cheese and the employee, wearing dirty gloves, got avocado all over the sides. It seemed unsanitary and could be a hazard to people with allergies. Other than that, the food was good.

For what they offer, it was good. Chicken used was okay, not great. It came with a complimentary chocolate covered strawberry. Customer service was good. The ambiance is definitely casual. I would consider it a healthy choice compared to burger fast food joints. A lot of options that are not fried.

Place is a mess and it's only 5:00 PM.

Hair in my salad. Unfriendly staff. Dirty facility! Gone downhill. Next week, we head elsewhere.

Does Cafe Zupas have any gluten free dishes?

As far as gluten intolerance, because we have an open kitchen concept we like to err on the side of caution when addressing an individual’s dietary needs/restrictions. We can't 100% control the cross-contamination of gluten from one product to…

This was our second visit to the Cornish Pasty Co. location on 32nd Street in Phoenix and our third…read morevisit to the restaurant group overall. We continue to be impressed by both the quality and creativity of their food. On this visit, I ordered The Pilgrim, which is essentially Thanksgiving dinner wrapped inside a pasty. It features turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and gravy. It arrived absolutely piping hot--seriously, give it a few minutes before taking that first bite--but once it cooled down, it was phenomenal. The combination of flavors was comforting and satisfying, and a little cranberry sauce with each bite provided the perfect balance. My only minor critique would be that the ingredients could have been distributed a bit more evenly throughout the pasty. I also found the gravy slightly more peppery than expected, occasionally overshadowing the stuffing, sweet potatoes, and turkey. Even so, this has become my favorite pasty at Cornish Pasty Co. We also tried the Peppered Steak pasty, which features sirloin, portobello mushrooms, leeks, zucchini, Stilton bleu cheese, and a peppercorn brandy cream sauce. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, especially the steak and the wonderfully flaky crust. For my personal taste, the peppercorn brandy cream sauce was a little more prominent than I prefer, and I found myself wanting more of the steak, mushroom, and Stilton flavors to come through. That's simply a matter of preference, though--it was still a well-executed dish made with quality ingredients. One thing Cornish Pasty Co. consistently gets right is the crust. Every pasty we've had has been flaky, flavorful, and substantial without feeling heavy. This wasn't our first experience with their menu. Over the years we've thoroughly enjoyed the Tikka Masala, the Lamb & Mint (which was a genuine "wow" dish), and the Royale. Those are all excellent choices, but after this visit, The Pilgrim has moved to the top of my personal rankings. Our two pasties came in under $20 each, making for a filling and satisfying meal at a reasonable price. We ordered takeout, and while there was a bit of a wait after we arrived, it's worth noting that these are made-to-order pasties, not fast food. Even though we only ordered a few minutes before arriving, the quality was well worth the extra time. My biggest criticism has nothing to do with the food. While waiting, my wife and I sat inside briefly, and we found the music extremely loud. During our visit, the restaurant was playing Silth, a progressive metalcore band. Musical tastes are obviously subjective, but the combination of the style and volume made conversation difficult for us. My wife eventually decided to wait in the car because it was simply too loud. The restaurant clearly aims for a lively pub atmosphere, with games available and a diverse mix of patrons enjoying themselves, so many people may appreciate that environment. It just wasn't a great fit for us. That said, the food is outstanding, the portions are generous, and we'll absolutely be back. We'll probably continue ordering takeout, but that's a reflection of our personal preferences rather than any issue with the restaurant itself. If you're looking for creative, well-made pasties with high-quality ingredients, Cornish Pasty Co. is definitely worth a visit.

This was a wonderful place to have a work dinner with a small group. I have never had a pasty…read morebefore, which I now equate to a little calzone, and I'm a sucker for a good calzone. It's dark, casual, and easy to hear everyone which was a nice change from some of the other places I'd been to that week. Unfortunately, they were having some issue with the fridge or freezer and they were out of many of the options, so that was a bit disappointing. I had to panic order, and ended up with the Chicken Greek. Regardless of it being the backup choice, it was still pretty good. I could see wanting takeout from here many more times if I lived closer. The drink menu was very interesting - I had the Oaxacan Pineapple and asked if it could be made spicy, and it was probably the best drink I'd had all week. Service was great and parking was easy. I was impressed and would recommend it to anyone that wants a good meal.

Walked in to a nearly empty restaurant -- just one other customer -- and wasn't greeted. The AC was off with only a few floor fans running, making the space feel suffocating. After waiting 30 minutes for my spring rolls (in an almost empty restaurant), they arrived with no peanut sauce and zero apology from the staff. By this point I was flushed, short of breath, and feeling faint from the heat and poor air circulation. I politely let the male server know I was overheating and felt like I might faint. His response? He told me the AC was on and to "drink more water" -- in a rude, dismissive tone -- then walked away to greet a new customer. I packed up my spring rolls to go and paid without a word. He didn't seem surprised. It felt like this was a pattern he was used to. After leaving I checked other reviews -- long wait times, poor atmosphere, and rude staff are recurring themes. I'm adding my experience to save others the trip. Don't waste your time or money here.

My favorite Korean spots in Arizona since there weren't that many Korean spots in Glendale!…read moreHowever, they have some pretty authentic Korean dishes! Parking is pretty small so parking can be a little difficult when it gets busy! Service is decent and they are very friendly but could be more attentive. It is pretty spacious inside with plenty of indoor seating. However, it can get pretty loud when it is busy so it might be hard to hear one another They offer Korean BBQ but it isn't all you can eat, as well as Korean dishes (tofu soup, bulgogi, bibimbap, etc.), and sushi. There is even a lunch special menu Mon-Fri 11-2:30pm and has a good selection of bento boxes! I've gotten their beef teriyaki bento box and it came with rice, salad, 2 piece California rolls, and 2 pc fried gyozas. Pricing is $13-20 The beef teriyaki is pretty tender, flavorful, and not too salty. The salad is underwhelming and didn't have fresh greens. The fried gyozas were decent, nothing special. The California rolls were ok, not bad. I would say it's 7/10. The bibimbap was very fresh and delicious but a little pricey ($18.95). The bulgogi was marinated very well and rice was super crispy inside the hot stone bowl. Seafood tofu soup was pretty good and not too overly salty. It was very flavorful and the tofu was very soft. I would say it's 8/10 Would definitely recommend and return
