I ordered the pad Thai. It was edible, but there's a lot, and I mean LOTS of better pad Thai in this town.

You know...I don't really like this place. It's kind of dirty, they hassled me and wouldn't take my debit card without picture ID, and then it gave me some serious GI issues. If you go during the peak hours there is always a pretty significant…More »

What disappointed me the most was that this place was so highly recommended on Yelp! Two stars isn't quite as accurate as I'd like but three stars was definitely too many. The service was great and the presentation was lovely. To start I had the beet…More »
My co-workers love this place. I think, "meh". But then again I don't watch sporting events on TV (it ruins the conversation at the table) and I don't drink. That leaves my judgement based solely on the food. It's OK, but nothing to write home…More »
I really really hate Chinese buffets. This place is one notch better than the others.

What? Are you people crazy? When we recently moved to Seattle from Oregon everyone was telling us that Top Pot Doughnuts are just as good as Voodoo Doughnut. Well, they're not. The doughnut itself is heavy and dry. The glazes are gaggy and hard.…More »
This place is not what it used to be. The menu is pretty much the same as it's always been except now it's photocopied on low-budget paper. I'm trying to put my finger on it but I think things started to go downhill when they got plastic pitchers.…More »
I don't know wht it is, but something crucial was lost in the transition from the Dory Cove to this new location. I think they are buying their fish fresh from SE Asia or something. And for another thing the prices are pretty ridiculous now. The…More »

If you've never been here before you should try this place. It is a wonderland of sushi and Asian salads. I don't really care for their hot plates but my kids love them. I also liked the desserts because they are served in small bite-sized…More »
I really feel bad giving this place only two stars because the people were so nice, but nice just does not cut it in such a competitive business. I am disappointed in the Yelp community for overlooking some pretty obvious flaws and rating this place…More »
This place has really gone downhill in the past few years. It has become waaaaay too commercialized. My friend and I started coming here about fifteen years ago and it was charming. With each successive year they've grown a little bit. About five…More »
This place wasn't that great. We came down out of the mountains hoping to have lunch around 2:30 and discovered that most of the restaurants in Banff close down from 2:00-5:00 so we settled on this place. They call themselves "Tex-Mex" and I…More »
This place is a little too authentic for me. Half the stuff on the menu had things inside I would never put into my mouth, let alone ingest. Chicken feet and duck tongues, for instance, so negotiating the menu (mostly written in Chinese with brief…More »
