    We received coupons in the mail to try the new neighborhood spot and we are so glad we did! Eating fast food could be unappealing at times but after eating here we felt great and nourished. We really enjoyed our Waba Plates (chicken and steak) with the dragonfruit tea. To add, the service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side which makes this a great to go spot. We will be back!

    Met up with friends and family here for dinner. I'd been wanting to try a new Asian fusion spot,…read moreand this one had been on my list for a while - it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is super classy and cute, with great date-night vibes. Parking can be a little limited with the English pub next door, but it's definitely worth a stop. We started with a few of their buns. The pork belly was my favorite, but the fried chicken and meatball were both very good! For dinner, we ordered the fried rice, XO noodles, and shaking beef. The beef was a little more well done than I prefer, but everything was packed with flavor. Portions were generous, presentation was beautiful, and overall, the food was delicious. Most dishes averaged around $20, which felt very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. And a special shoutout to Keith - his service was fantastic throughout the entire meal! Great atmosphere, flavorful food, generous portions, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

Quite the opposite here, I have been a long time customer of this particular location and I've always had an amazing experience with the food as well as excellent service from the staff over the years. The chef and staff clearly care a great deal about the establishment and the love is shown all throughout the space. I usually have the Pork Tonkatsu ramen, Katsu sando, and Krazy Fries and everyday I'm away from Phoenix I CRAVE these so badly. Amazing and ambitious flavor combos that all fit so well together. Couldn't recommend this place harder

    Our plan was to have dinner at Pedal Haus before an event, but our plan quickly changed. The…read morebrewery was packed with people watching the last game of the NBA finals AND the World Cup. We shifted gears and went next door to Sake Haus, and I'm so glad we did! Everything was spectacular! First of all--BEST edamame I've ever had! That tallow really adds a richness! And the gyoza had just the right amount of kick to them. We had both the hamachi crudo and the halibut crudo. They were both delicious, but the hamachi was the standout. Hamachi is usually a little too fishy for me, but this just melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. We also had one of the specials, the 808 roll. It was topped with poke, and we would not let them take the plate until we'd scooped up every little morsel! Cocktails and service were excellent as well. We definitely ended up with a pricier meal than what we'd planned next door, but it was totally worth it! I wish I'd taken pics of the beautifully plated dishes, but I was too just eating!

    I was dying for sushi and this place looked promising. A few things to preface this review: 1) I…read morelove sushi and I typically steer clear of sushi in the desert for obvious reasons. 2) I lean towards sashimi and high quality fish. The service- pretty poor. I was sat in the bar at the back but I basically sat there for a good 5 minutes and nothing. I went back up front and asked to sit at the bar and it was still pretty inattentive, especially considering no one else was even seated in the front room at the time. Never got my water refilled, had to flag them down to put in more food, that sorta thing. The vibes- thought the bar was pretty lit and is prob pretty fun during HH. The food- overpriced for what you get and portion size while the fish and flavors being a smidge above average. I left still hungry after getting the gold omakase, bad and buri roll, and hamachi crudo. The hamachi was the best part of the meal but I'd still expect at least 5 pieces for the price. Anyways, this spot will hit the spot if you have a sushi craving. I can't vouch for the drinks but I assume it more than checks the box in that regard judging by the menu, selection, and vibe. But know that you're in for some trade offs imo.

    Before going to watch the Dodgers play the Diamondbacks, we stopped by Zen Thai and I'm really glad…read morewe did. It's such a cute little spot. The decor is super adorable, but honestly, the food is what really stood out. We ordered the Tom Kha, Pad Thai, and combination fried rice, and everything was so good. The Pad Thai had amazing flavor. We got everything at a medium spice level, which was perfect for me. I also loved that they let you choose from mild all the way up to extra Thai hot...my fiancé loves super spicy food, so that was a big plus since not every place offers that. We ate everything between the two of us. That's how good it was. The service was also great. He kept checking in on us without being over the top, which I appreciated.

    I ordered the Larb Salad and Beef Stew Soup Noodles. The menu says the Larb Salad is made with…read moreground meat and roasted rice, with a choice of chicken or pork. When my salad arrived, I didn't see any roasted rice, so I asked the server. He had to go back to the kitchen to ask the chef and eventually brought me a small dish of powder, saying it was roasted rice powder. If that's what is actually served, the menu should clearly say "roasted rice powder" rather than "roasted rice." The Beef Stew Soup Noodles also had very little broth. I mentioned this to another waitress, who said she would ask the kitchen to bring me more broth. She never came back with it and didn't follow up until she brought the check. Then I noticed I had been overcharged. The Larb Salad was listed on the menu at $14.95, but I was charged $17.95. When I questioned the waiter, he said it was because I chose chicken and that chicken was the main protein. But I did not add extra chicken--I simply chose chicken as my protein, exactly as the menu allowed. I asked to speak with the manager, and eventually the charge was corrected. However, the waiter brought me the new receipt without any apology or acknowledgment of the mistake. Overall, I was disappointed with the lack of attention to detail and customer service. My advice: Read the menu carefully, and most importantly, check your receipt before you pay.

    I have had Daves Hot Chicken once before when they first opened in Laveen and I thought it was…read moregood, but I am not a huge chicken sandwich fan. I never got the allure or cult status of places like Chik Fil A, Popeyes, or Raising Canes. Canes sauce is good but it kinda overwhelms the ok chicken. What I do like about Daves is that it is actually Hot chicken. Their reaper sauce which deserves a receipt signed waiver is crazy hot. One of my kids got it and he said "its ok, not super hot" cause he is nuts and doesn't recognize you can't eat lava which would be the only hotter option. He also practically drinks Da Bomb from Hot Ones and that is just Cray Cray. I opted for the Extra Hot on my sandwitch endeavor and did the same for a the Chicken bites which was $8 for a 10 Piece with bread, pickles and sauce. Not to shabby for the quality of the food. The Daves sauce is great and their ranch is so so, something about packaged ranch is never great compared to a pub ho made ranch. The chicken is crispy when fresh and has a slight sweet flavor with some good heat that adds up the more you eat. I will regret it later. The pickles are crisp and tangy and add a good means to cut the fat, especially when added to the bread with a chicken bit dipped in Daves sauce. The Service has been great both times an they really make it feel like more of a sit down experience than brushing you off as some fast foodie. I really like the way they decorate the building with some interesting art and the inside carries that over with an inviting seating area for great fast food ambiance if you are going to eat in, which I likely wont do as it is generally busy and close quarters for my claustraphobic brain. I would recommend the reaper sauce if you want an adventure as it is tasty but deadly . I dont like fast food in general as I get older, but this is a great option to feed some fried hot chicken craving even if you have to deal with some self loathing on the toilet later.

    Fast food? Maybe not quite as fast as expected…read more I went through the drive-thru around 4:00 PM on a Wednesday, and there was one car in front of me. I ordered the new large popcorn chicken and then waited... and waited... and waited a little more. It took roughly 15 minutes before the car in front of me got their order, which seemed like quite a long time for what appeared to be just one bag with one food container inside. I'm not sure what took so long, but I figured maybe they were having a busy moment. It wasn't in the dining room from what I could see. When I got my "large" popcorn chicken, I was a little surprised by the size of the container and not in a good way. After opening it, I also noticed that more than a third of it was basically fried batter rather than chicken. For $8.99, I was hoping for a little more chicken and less pieces of breading. The popcorn chicken itself was decent, but between the wait and the portion, it just wasn't quite what I expected.
