    a plate of food and a cup of orange juice
    Kevin H.

    This place is the best value restaurant in all of Phoenix. $7 buffet. Can't be beat! The food is pretty standard Chinese. And they keep bringing out hot fresh food over the lunch hour. Includes a drink! Wow! Also some decent non-Chinese food options like fries, chicken wings, and fried fish on the buffet.

    Horrible Customer Service 
 Horrible food

    The lunch buffet is $6.50, but it is awful. Horrendous Chinese food. I will not be returning.

    Not much to choose from but you only pay 7$ including drink. Noodles are the best dish. Eveything else is ok. Its good for a work time lunch

    The decor is old, the plastic plates and forks are tacky, it's in a bad part of town, but the food is the best chinese buffet food within 15 miles.

    Ok, my friends and I looooove meeting up at LA Crab Shack in Mesa, so while running errands today,…read morewe decided to check out the Ahwatukee location for lunch. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were great - our waitress was super friendly, the 90's playlist was hitting, and the food was DELICIOUS as always! We started with happy hour hurricanes, half a dozen raw oysters, and fried okra. First of all... they do NOT play with those hurricanes because that drink was STRONG!!! We almost ordered the jumbo platter, but ended up getting two pounds of live crawfish and shrimp with a few sides in their medium house blend. Perfect amount of spice - enough of a kick to satisfy, but still super flavorful and enjoyable. The ambiance was chill and relaxed, probably because they had just opened for lunch, which made it even better. Definitely recommend this spot if you're craving a good seafood boil!

    We love having a crab shack here in Ahwatukee. Great parking. Nice clean restaurant & very friendly…read morestaff. We have been here on the weekend and also during the week - service & food quality remains consistent. Personal Fav is the Cajun Garlic shrimp then add potato & sausage for a good mix of textures & taste. My ONLY "note"....eating is a multi sense experience. Eyes, nose, mouth & Ears. The music did not match the theme or vibe, at times it was a bit jarring. Try adding jazz or blues type background music to complete the Experience . My kiddos will not eat seafood (yet, we will get there) so we get them a Chicken Tender meal and that chicken is so fresh & "tender"! Nicely breaded, crisp not soggy. Crispy skinny fries. Good job

    Kitchen open late

    This place was SO fun for me and my ladies. We went here for my birthday and it was so fun. I made…read morea reservation on open table which I HIGHLY recommend. We had a party of 10 and it was so fun. We all had drinks a some people ordered food. Due to party size there was auto gratuity and only 4 cards max. The bar is in the basement of the hotel. When we got there though it wasnt very clear that it was there. We got there a little early but the accommodated us nicely. Originally there was going to be 9 people but I asked day of event if I could bring another person and they said yes. The drinks were so good. Th divine feminine tasted like Jamaica drink with the hibiscus. Then I had the happy birthday Mr. President. Oh. My. God. It didn't even taste like alcohol it tasted like vanilla ice cream I'm so serious. It was delicious. Then I had the siren drink. That one wasn't bad at all. We all had a great time and shared laughs and everything. I love the setting of it though. It's a bit dark so we had to use phone lights to see the menu. But it feels like stepping into a whole new world once you enter. I think it's perfect for hanging out. Date night. Anniversary dinner. All of it. Our server was nice. Very friendly. I think he could use a little more on his hospitality just because sometimes I feel like he didn't know what to say exactly. A little disappointed that there wasn't really anything special for a birthday though. Not even a little card on the table that said happy birthday. Just a thought. Other fine dining establishments I've been in did.

    Rough Rider has been through some changes that I find disappointing. When we were seated, I asked…read moreour server if they still have happy hour and he said he wasn't sure if we were still within the happy hour window - it was 3:30 PM. He then confirmed we were still within the happy hour window and offered to bring us a menu. They used to have an extensive happy hour menu featuring several drinks and food items and now their "happy hour menu" consists of a cheeseburger for $22. Not sure that that really constitutes as a happy hour menu... I asked him why they changed the menu and he put up his hands as if to say he's not to blame and said he doesn't have anything to do with those decisions. He said that "management decided to make a few substitutions but they're pretty good" and didn't provide any further elaboration. I ordered the appetizer lamb lollipops which had four small pieces for $25. My friend decided to try the "happy hour" cheeseburger and he said it was good but it did appear a bit overpriced for an average burger with a pretty hefty serving of french fries. I really wasn't impressed by the quality of the food, the portion size, the price, or the service. Unfortunately, I'll be taking Rough Rider off my list of regular places i frequent and restaurants I recommend to others.

    Say hello to your new favorite downtown restaurant! Wow, where to begin?…read more Service was amazing - they even printed out a small card with our reservation name on it which was presented on our table. Such a cute touch and very thoughtful. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The spot is small and chic. It's very intimate dining so you'll be sitting close to the table next to you. Luckily, it's a quiet and calm space, so no need to worry about noise. The food was incredible. The salmon crudo was possibly the best crudo I have ever had in my entire life. So fresh and the flavors were balanced to perfection. The risotto changed my life... it was so delicious I couldn't even believe it. The only thing I would recommend skipping was the octopus tostada - not my favorite and a little fishy for my liking. Personal preference of course! The duck tasted great and was beautifully presented, but it wasn't my favorite. Again, I'm not a huge meat eater so take my advice on this one with a grain of salt. Overall an extremely romantic and special meal.

    It was pretty good but certainly not worth the titular pretty penny price--and we didn't even get…read morethe recommended 8 dishes, which is, like, the entire menu. To start, the menu is a bit puzzling. It's kind of like a handful of Asian-inspired dishes, a handful of Mexican/South American, and a handful of French or New American. But there's not enough of each to chart a course through one type of cuisine. So, basically you're gonna have a cultural melange meal. Hamachi crudo was really good and fairly unique. The halibut was excellently prepared but not particularly innovative in any way I could tell. Zucchini had goat cheese, which wasn't immediately clear from the description, so I didn't enjoy the rude surprise I got when I took my first bite, and didn't eat anymore, as I really despise the stuff. So that was a waste. Not a dig on the dish, just a personal thing I wish I had more notice of. There were other issues though. The wine list was exceptionally small, They were out of the bread, which is supposedly a must-try. And then we were going to get the steak but the folks next to us advised against it, showing their cut that had zero fat. They said it was leather. On that point, the tables are SUPER CLOSE. Like, a couple inches apart. You hear everything and almost can't avoid getting entwined into others' conversation. We liked the people we were next to, but be aware that it's an unintentionally awkward communal experience that's not well-suited to a date night. The service was pretty good, they put out a nice printed greeting with the reservation name, and give you a sparkling wine toast. But considering the price and overall experience we had, I'd pass and not come back.

    One of the best fish and shrimp tacos I've ever had! We had 2 combos with the tea and 2 quesadillas…read more(1 with only cheese and 1 with shrimp). Everything we got was so good. So fresh. And the fish and shrimp were nice and crispy! It was so good that we had to order 2 more tacos! Plus the food came out quick, service was great. The truck was inside a car repair garage, right across from the Kroc Center. It kind of looks like it's not there, but you'll see the lights from their set up. There were clean chairs and tables. And they had a swamp cooler, which would be so perfect when it gets too hot in Phoenix.

    We walked up to order and there was someone sitting at a table. We asked if they were open and she…read morereluctantly said yes. She also just looked confused. The open sign was also off. After that awkward greeting, I was able to order. We got 4 shrimp tacos, 2 fish tacos, and 4 empanadas. It took about 20 minutes for the food to be ready. It was well-made and hot. The empanadas are SOOOO GOOD! They have a side of crema and salsa that went perfect with it. The shrimp tacos were good. The fish tacos were ok-the fish itself lacked flavor/salt. The hot sauce they put on the tacos can be overpowering so I recommend putting it on the side, especially for to-go orders. We had to scrape some off. I'd come back for shrimp tacos with sauce on the side but I'd definitely come back for the empanadas. The food was fresh and a good size. It would be great if prices were posted on the menu/truck.
