| - I have now eaten at both the Mesa and the Tempe locations of this company. This review is only valid for the Tempe location.
Several companions and I visited the Tempe location for dinner. The food was very similar to the food prepped at the Mesa location, but that is where the similarities end.
Compared to the Mesa location, the Tempe one is both a lot smaller and darker. I felt like I was going into a dungeon since our table was in a dark corner all the way in the back.
Our food was good, but the lack of sanitation was very apparent. Our utensils were dirty and had to be replaced, and then the replacements were found to be dirty and had to be replaced. This was not a good sign.
Floors could use a good vacuuming, as the area around us was littered with all sorts of items from pieces of food to pieces of paper and even a cigarette butt! I'm not sure how a cigarette butt got on the floor, since no restaurants allow smoking anymore, but there it was, saying hello to us.
Service was much slower than the Mesa location, and our server had a laissez-faire attitude that did not speak well for them. They were more interested in chatting with other servers than waiting on our table.
I've given the three stars only because the food is the same tasty dishes that are served in Mesa, but as far as I am concerned, this place needs a visit from the owner and from the health department.
