Went out on a double date with my girlfriend and another couple the other night. Great location if you're in the scottsdale area. We all wanted to try something So we decided to check this place out. The atmosphere was great. It was a Sunday night so it wasn't busy at all. Didn't have to wait for a table which was nice. Would have been nice to have more patio space but still really liked the atmosphere inside.
The food was great. I was the only one of 4 who didn't really care for the dish but it was more of a preference thing than flavor. I ordered the Mongolian beef w/out the black beans and cabbage. (Ordered that the first time I visited and didn't like the black beans or cabbage so I asked them to hold both). The other three plates in the table were the loco moco (included in photos), the pork platter, and the Jamaican jerk chicken. All of which were absolutely amazing. Great portion sizes, and good rice, and overall great flavor. They also have a pretty lengthy spirit menu to choose from. And the food menu is also full of variety.
The service mediocre at best. We politely asked our server to switch tables, not thinking anything of it. Our server seemed put out. We didn't really understand why seeing as though the restaurant was nearly empty. He reluctantly agreed and placed us at a table nearby. When he brought out the checks, we only had two. One for my girlfriend and I, and one for the other couple we were with. Now I will say it was convenient for him to assume that we were on a double date. However, I don't think it was very appropriate. I don't think that should be assumed. It should be asked of by the guest. A simple "how would you like the bill?" Would have been much more appropriate. Food 5/5. Service 3/5. Total 4/5.
