Back when I visited Phoenix, I had the pleasure of eating at JT's curry wagon. Circled the uptown…read morefarmers market a couple times to scope out what we had and I knew I had to come back and hit this one and boy, am I glad I did. I went with the black belt curry which is a 50/50 split of the japanese vegetable curry and the braised pork belly dish they have. Found myself a seat under a nearby tent- there are plenty of options since people are constantly rotating in and out of the tables. It was a warm day - be sure to try and secure a shady spot. On to the food, the portion was massive. My wife and I picked on a few other things before here, but we both have healthy appetites. The black belt curry was rich, hearty and absolutely delicious. I still remember the potatoes in that Japanese curry - they were slightly chewy, creamy and I couldn't get enough of them. The braised pork belly was tender, rich, and very flavorful, not too fatty which is something you often have to worry about with pork belly curry dishes. All around fantastic spot and I would highly recommend. The Japanese curry screams "comfort" while the braised pork belly screams "rich" if that helps you decide, or just get both like I did with the black blet!

JT's Curry Wagon not…read moreonly fits the bill but also offers an excellent Taiwanese dish, amazing drinks, and exceptional service. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this stand at Uptown Market a couple weeks ago, and were so impressed by the 50/50. The dish is half curry -- deliciously thick and made from scratch -- and half lu rou fan, which includes the softest, flavorful pork belly. It also includes a few delicious pickled cucumbers and a perfectly jammy marinated egg. Lao gan ma always available to top!! The owner, Jonny, is so welcoming and enthusiastic. He was so happy to have us sample his unique drinks (a frozen thai tea and a lychee lemonade with jellies), and we were so thrilled to honestly say they were delicious! The thai tea flavor was really strong and aromatic. The price is super fair for how much you get. Our dish was packed to the brim, and they really don't skimp on the pork belly. Will 1000% make this out go-to farmer's market meal.

I also want to point out that these 2 are so welcoming and engage with their customers. You can tell they genuinely love what they are doing and it shows in their food. Go find them at the farmers market and throw them some support! You will be glad you did.

My favorite was the pork belly for sure: generous portion of tender and crispy pork belly with delicious toppings on a soft bao bun. The acidity of the pickled apple complimented the sweet and salty pork really well. Each bao is assembled with care, you can not only see it, you can also taste it. I need to try the soft shell crab bao next time!

EDIT 12/13/17- For some reason the Yelp Gods changed my listing from the correct "PhxArt Project:…read moreCityScape" to "CityScape Phoneix". Lol I'm not sure who was put in charge of this listing but Phoenix isn't even spelled right so be aware of the correct name for the shop and the correct websites: http://www.phxart.org/project http://www.cityscapephoenix.com/events/phxartproject-cityscape-presented-by-the-phoenix-art-museum/ From November 24 to January 7, the Phoenix Art Museum has a pop up shop selling gift items, with performances and special exhibitions for display. The shop is spacious and the items were all very unique and would make cute or funny gifts. They could probably fit some more items in this space for sale but it was a fun store to browse in while we were at Cityscape. The installation at the shop when I was here was Saskia Jordá's Cacerolazo. If you're at Cityscape it's worth a stop since you get a shopping experience and get to see some modern art all in the same place.

Our server was awesome and the ambiance here is very nice - albeit a little bit dim - I would definitely come back! It was a bit pricey, but not unreasonable given the quality of the food and the location.

Those people got unseasoned, undercooked food. No salt at the table and their waiter would be so rude and aggressive, you were afraid to ask for some. (Clearly intentional.) After a while, friends from the office would go just to report back so we'd all have a laugh about it. Tragic history. Crazy experience. Welcome to Phoenix. At least you have a story to tell.

Popped in before a Suns game, an easy walk past Chase Field. It was good to get away from the usual pregame options. The place was clean and inviting, and had a little bit of a "back in time" feel without being dated. Quickly and pleasantly welcomed and seated. Then came the hard part, making choices. We had fried chicken and fried catfish, with sides of Mac and Cheese, macaroni salad (yep, Mac two ways), greens and mashed potatoes with gravy. All were great, obviously home made from longstanding recipes. Especially into the greens, which were bursting with flavor. The catfish was delish, and my wife called the fried chicken the best she ever had. Saved room for peach cobbler, which was served smoking hot. The perfect sweet end to the savory meal. Next time I'm all in on pork chops, which looked amazing. And we will come on a Sunday, the only day dressing is available as a side option. If you're looking for a meal that feels like a friend had you over for supper, go here! Thanks Mrs. White's family!

Funny enough, this actually wasn't even the exact restaurant my partner had been thinking of when he brought it up, but honestly I'm so glad we ended up here anyway because the food was REALLY good. We ordered the flaming ohmygod sushi roll, and man... it was amazing. Not only was the presentation fun, but the sushi itself actually tasted incredible too, which sometimes isn't the case with more "gimmicky" menu items. It was so good that I literally ordered another roll to-go and took it on the plane back home with me because I already knew I'd be craving it later. That alone should say enough about how much I liked it. I also tried the matcha martini, and it was honestly one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. It had the perfect balance of matcha flavor and alcohol where neither one overpowered the other. Sometimes matcha drinks either taste way too earthy or completely lose the matcha flavor under the alcohol, but this one was super smooth, flavorful, and really well done. The restaurant itself also has a really nice atmosphere. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and the indoor area definitely has a more upscale vibe than your usual sushi spot and that makes the experience feel a little more elevated and perfect for a date night. On top of all that, the servers were super friendly and provided genuinely great service throughout the meal. Everyone was attentive, welcoming, and made the experience feel really comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, this place completely exceeded my expectations. Great sushi, fun presentation, amazing drinks, friendly service, and a really nice atmosphere. I'd absolutely come back again.
