I had high expectations for this place because all my friends from north Phoenix have recommended this place and when I finally went, it was rather disappointing. The portion sizes are pretty darn big. Their medium sized bowls are extra large at other places. But i had a problem with their broth. It's got too much artificial spices, me and my company each had to drink 2 bottles of water afterwards and couldn't help but fall asleep due to MSG. I had high hopes for macaron ice cream but that too, nothing is house made. This is a busy place so I didn't expect a hotel quality service but we never got a refill on water. Btw they dont bring you a check you need to walk up to the register and pay for your food.
