Case: My girl and I decided to try this place on a whim, and we were very glad we did!\n\nThe restaurant is about the size of a medium take out place, with one very long table taking up the left side of the restaurant where a family party of 10-12 people sat comfortably. On the right side had tables for parties of 4.\n\nWe started off right with pitcher of Sapporo beer, which was a great bargain, and an order of $1 edimame (special that night). We both ordered a \""Jack\"" serving of beef shabu-shabu, and like others pointed out the vegies and noodles are all-you-can-eat.\n\nWe received three dipping bowls: ponzu, sesami dressing (which I did have to thin out with a little bit of water), and spicy ponzu sauce. I really, really enjoy spicy food and that spicy ponzu sauce was no joke.\n\nThe beef was fresh, sliced just thin enough, and if I didn't fill up on beer I would of ordered a second helping.\n\nI would give five star, but the place is relatively pricey for a \""Cook your own food\"" joint, but the side items are all you can eat, the beer is price well, and it's going to be our first dine out option when the temperature drops!!!\n\nOne interesting thing did happen: Some douchebag thought he would impress his date by taking her out for sushi. So, walking in he already failed. As the waitress came and gave them menus I heard the following conversation.\n\nDouchebag: Do you guys have sushi?\nWaitress: No, sorry. This is a Japanese soup restaurant.\nDouchebag: Sushi is Japanese, right?\nWaitress: Yes.\nDouchebag: And you guys don't have it?\nWaitress: Nope, sorry. We do have seafood available.\n\nThe dude went on order sukiyaki for him and his date.

Case: I'm a bit annoyed because, for the most part, I like the food at this place. However, they are getting 2 stars because I just called to do a take-out order and was told \""we are too busy to do takeout right now\""...WTF??\n\nGranted it is Friday night at 8 PM, but I could have been told my take-out would take 1 or 1 1/2 hours and I would have been cool with it...\n\nLook, the place does not have very much seating. Besides: I don't feel like going out tonight...why can't I have my take-out???

Case: Delicious non-franchised breakfast place in a hip Old Town Scottsdale area.  In a sea of franchise-dom that is Phoenix metropolitan area it is hard to find good, non-farmed/chicken/cow or whatever themed breakfast joint.  The Breakfast Club happens to be a rare gem in a prime location.  Is the food the absolute best you will find...no, that title is reserved for Matt's Big Breakfast.  But, the food quality and selection and atmosphere are well above average and a solid 4 star'r and blow any chained breakfast joint out of the water.  When the weather permits sitting outside is enjoyably boisterous and always entertaining via people watching.

What is the classification for the passage below?
Rubbery crepe, stick-like asparagus (even though it is asparagus season!!), and terrible, horrible service. Plus, there isn't really wifi, even though it says that there is. When we were there, the credit card machine was broken, and you would have thought that there was a major world crisis with the complete inability to deal shown by the staff. Blech. Give it a pass.
