Chinese Dumpling House

I love the food there, they make an amazing dumpling and pop pan.

HOWEVER!! The most disgusting thing happened today. Today, I saw several rats in running around the floor. I wanted to throw up immediately, but instead just paid and walked out (I'm too nice, I know). I should have shouted on the top of my lungs "RAT".

Be aware, don't eat here.

Love this steakhouse. Price is a little high, but I think the quality justify's it.

The steak was cooked exactly as I ask for it. The waiters were curtious and helpful. Dining decor was very classy and clean. It was definitely a great dining experience.

I ordered the salmon for lunch, which was a pretty decent portion. It is enough to last two meals. The fish was cooked a little more rare than I am used to, but I enjoyed it anyhow. Mashed potato's were amazing to say the least.

I don't mind the "overpriced" menu, that is fine with me. I would have given them a 4 star, but what really angered me was how the waitress took my plate without asking if I was done with it. I was just taking my time enjoying the company of friends and family, and while I was talking to the person next to me, the waitress snuck in an took my plate from me. Seriously, she must have worked as a ninja, because when I turned back to my plate, it was gone. I can understand if my plate is empty and she takes it away, but I only ate 25% of the fish.

Great food, great price.

Only negative comment is that the place is a little old. Time for a renovation. When I walked in, there was an immediate old stuffy smell that punches you in the face. Carpets were disgusting, tables clean but really old, I almost walked out, but glad that I didn't, because the food was pretty great. If they cleaned that place up, I am sure that a lot of college students would make this place their hang out.

One word. Amazing.

Amazing view from the room and pool. Service is extravagent. Beds are as comfortable as can be, everything is spotless, and being a guy I love the washroom design. Considering the location is so close to the action, I loved it there, every minute of it.

Used to love this place. Having visited this place recently, my love is gone. Noodles tasted stale, and had a strange taste to it. Maybe it is not fresh, i dont know. Ok, but wouldnt be running out just to eat here.

I went there expecting the same bad experience as my first visit, but this time the service was more pleasant than before.

Even though the service has improved, the sandwiches did not. Nothing but low quality food. Biting into the sandwich, I could immediately tell the meat was sub-par. If you are foodie like me, then you should not expose your tastebuds to this etrocity of a place. (Etrocity is a bit of an exageration)

Would I go there, probably not unless there are no other choices.

First off, the service was excellent. Waitresses were very pleasant hand helpful.

I decided to go with the 550 Club sandwich with a side of mac n cheese. Having seen the Cheese Boutique truck pull in for a delivery, I knew immediately they used only the top and best ingredients (no kraft cheese) for their menu.

I agree with Kelly, the portions are huge, I never doggy bag my meals, but this time I had no choice. The sandwich was made perfectly, with tender turkey meat and the lettuce and bread perfectly crunchy. The mac and cheese was served in a cast iron skillet with bread crumb sprinkled on the top. It was almost a meal in itself, so delicious. Comparable to Trevor Kitchen and Bar.

In this type of restaurant / diner, you get exactly what you pay for, and that is perfection. It is a hidden gem, and I will definitely be going back to try the grilled cheese.

Amazing roasted beef and corned beef. Portions are huge and definitely an interesting place to go with friends and family. Price is fair, and I love their cherry coke.

I just wish their kaisers was better quality, but even with that flaw you should walk away happy.

Akabane Sushi

Having seen the interior decoration inside the restaurant, I thought that this place should be pretty high end. Big mistake in judgement.

I should have taken a clue of what to expect when I walked in. The place was almost empty at 1:00.

Immediately when I sat down, I noticed that every single plate and cup was chipped (including the sauce plates). FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CHINESE RESTAURANT OWNERS, BUY NEW PLATES WHEN THEY ARE CHIPPED.

When we sat down, they did not automatically bring any green tea to us, we had to ask for it. When we got the tea, it was in a small english tea cup(not very japanese). No tea pot was left at the table, we had to ask for refill time and time again.

The menu had everything good marked for Dinner only. rainbow roll, black dragon roll, green dragon roll, soft shell crab roll, etc was not available at lunch. When we ordered the salmon sushi, the salmon was comically thin. It was as if they took a carrot peeler to a salmon filet. I tasted no fish, but only a big ball of rice.

Pad Thai - Terrible tasting (not as good as Thai Express)
Salmon Sushi - fish was paper thin (sadly only slightly exagerated)
Salmon  Pizza - Rice was an inch thick with again paper thin salmon
Mango Roll - The only good sushi on the plate (very flavorful mango)
Fried Scallops - Not bad

The servers were courtious and friendly, but it does not make up for the bad selection and nano portions. I will never go there again.

If you love sushi for a dollar more, you can go to Yang's on highway 7. Their service may suck, but their food is amazing. Plus they have a large selection, generous portions, and free soda.
