    a plate of food and a cup of orange juice
    Kevin H.

    This place is the best value restaurant in all of Phoenix. $7 buffet. Can't be beat! The food is pretty standard Chinese. And they keep bringing out hot fresh food over the lunch hour. Includes a drink! Wow! Also some decent non-Chinese food options like fries, chicken wings, and fried fish on the buffet.

    Horrible Customer Service 
 Horrible food

    The lunch buffet is $6.50, but it is awful. Horrendous Chinese food. I will not be returning.

    Not much to choose from but you only pay 7$ including drink. Noodles are the best dish. Eveything else is ok. Its good for a work time lunch

    The decor is old, the plastic plates and forks are tacky, it's in a bad part of town, but the food is the best chinese buffet food within 15 miles.

The space is warm, moody, and inviting--like a lighthearted Western brought to life--with candlelight and rich wooden accents creating an atmosphere that begs you to settle in and stay awhile. The drink menu was eclectic and thoughtfully curated, offering both trendy and classic cocktails alongside an impressive selection of spirits, beer, and wine. The bartenders were knowledgeable enough to suggest excellent off-menu creations and kept the drinks--including the water--flowing with effortless style and hospitality. The wedge salad was crisp and bright, elevated by thoughtful ingredients like jalapeño bacon and balsamic onions. The crab dip was a standout: packed generously with crab and complemented by just the right amount of cheese, finely chopped red onions, and crispy breadcrumbs. We ended the evening with St. George Absinthe, an absolute gem of an offering. Jake, Brad, and Stormy were kind, attentive, and full of great recommendations without ever feeling pushy or intrusive. We were able to truly enjoy each other's company while feeling genuinely cared for by the staff. Parking in the garage next door was graciously validated at the host stand. We left feeling full, impressed, and already looking forward to returning with family.

    What an amazing evening, beautifully curated with so many thoughtful details. Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!

    It was pretty good but certainly not worth the titular pretty penny price--and we didn't even get…read morethe recommended 8 dishes, which is, like, the entire menu. To start, the menu is a bit puzzling. It's kind of like a handful of Asian-inspired dishes, a handful of Mexican/South American, and a handful of French or New American. But there's not enough of each to chart a course through one type of cuisine. So, basically you're gonna have a cultural melange meal. Hamachi crudo was really good and fairly unique. The halibut was excellently prepared but not particularly innovative in any way I could tell. Zucchini had goat cheese, which wasn't immediately clear from the description, so I didn't enjoy the rude surprise I got when I took my first bite, and didn't eat anymore, as I really despise the stuff. So that was a waste. Not a dig on the dish, just a personal thing I wish I had more notice of. There were other issues though. The wine list was exceptionally small, They were out of the bread, which is supposedly a must-try. And then we were going to get the steak but the folks next to us advised against it, showing their cut that had zero fat. They said it was leather. On that point, the tables are SUPER CLOSE. Like, a couple inches apart. You hear everything and almost can't avoid getting entwined into others' conversation. We liked the people we were next to, but be aware that it's an unintentionally awkward communal experience that's not well-suited to a date night. The service was pretty good, they put out a nice printed greeting with the reservation name, and give you a sparkling wine toast. But considering the price and overall experience we had, I'd pass and not come back.

    One of the best fish and shrimp tacos I've ever had! We had 2 combos with the tea and 2 quesadillas…read more(1 with only cheese and 1 with shrimp). Everything we got was so good. So fresh. And the fish and shrimp were nice and crispy! It was so good that we had to order 2 more tacos! Plus the food came out quick, service was great. The truck was inside a car repair garage, right across from the Kroc Center. It kind of looks like it's not there, but you'll see the lights from their set up. There were clean chairs and tables. And they had a swamp cooler, which would be so perfect when it gets too hot in Phoenix.

    We walked up to order and there was someone sitting at a table. We asked if they were open and she…read morereluctantly said yes. She also just looked confused. The open sign was also off. After that awkward greeting, I was able to order. We got 4 shrimp tacos, 2 fish tacos, and 4 empanadas. It took about 20 minutes for the food to be ready. It was well-made and hot. The empanadas are SOOOO GOOD! They have a side of crema and salsa that went perfect with it. The shrimp tacos were good. The fish tacos were ok-the fish itself lacked flavor/salt. The hot sauce they put on the tacos can be overpowering so I recommend putting it on the side, especially for to-go orders. We had to scrape some off. I'd come back for shrimp tacos with sauce on the side but I'd definitely come back for the empanadas. The food was fresh and a good size. It would be great if prices were posted on the menu/truck.

It was busy, so busy you could tell the staff was trying to do their best, but for us and quite a few tables, we were left feeling disappointed. As far as the food... unfortunately it was NOT as expected. It took longer than expected to hit our tables, and when it did, it was dry and not well seasoned. We had a variety of seafood bags with various spice levels and added items, but it was not good. Dry and bland were our claims & Dungeness crabs and the sausage were definitely overcooked. Getting refills was easy, as that's all that could be done, but getting all the condiments and other needed things was a challenge when our food came. I was glad that our server approached me at the end and apologized for the experience. Recognizing that we didn't get 'their best' was greatly appreciated.
