Case: Probably the worst meal I had in Phoenix. I usually don't expect much of airport food and I understand that it is more expensive that food almost anywhere else. But this was absurd. Really bland food, ridiculously expensive beer, and just a bad experience. Don't eat here.

Case: Fantastic prices and customer service!  I took 3 watches in which all needed new batteries.  They were all fixed right on the spot with a friendly attitude and very fair price.  I was told they guarantee all of their work and did a great job.

Case: Dr. Parikh is simply the best. Without going into too much personal detail, he was our light at the end of a very dark tunnel. He and his staff were always so patient, positive, and accommodating. A situation that at one point seemed incredibly grim and confusing was broken down into individual steps by this skilled doctor and his staff that led to a much more positive road. The wait times are minimal when you have an appointment, and the doctor will never make you feel rushed or leave without answering all of your questions. He truly cares about each of his patients, and that is a rarity in this city. Switching to Dr. Parikh was probably one of the best decisions we've made.  I have referred a friend to see him when he also was faced with a tough situation. He cannot thank me enough for referring him to a Dr. who for once not only knew what he was talking about, but was patient and compassionate enough to help get his patients through a very difficult and confusing time in their life.

Case: Can someone please tell me how this airline is still in business? For the second and last time that we ever booked with this company, the flight is cancelled with barely any notice. And they have no backup plan, so instead of a simple delay, it becomes an all-day ordeal (2-days previously). Add in the crazy charges for carryon bags, and you've got a company without the infrastructure to create an experience that even approaches the bare minimum. Do not be seduced by supposedly low fares and stay AWAY from Spirit!

Case: I was in this location on November 9, 2013. I waited about 15 minutes to be helped. A nice young girl at the register was trying to finally help me when her manager, LIZ, via the earbuds, asked her to stop helping me. She had to immediately walk away and go back to the register (Which seemed uncesssary to me when there were 2 other employees working the registers without a line).\nI proceeded to talk with LIZ, and she apologized that I was inconvenienced, yet did not offer to help answer my questions or even walk over to assist me choosing my daughter's first make-up compact. I needed professional care, and she could have cared less. Maybe she could have requested the young employee return to the register after she finished helping me?\n\nI gave her my bags of items I wanted to purchase and walked out. (After I told her how poor her decision was and treating her employee and me poorly.)\n\nThe next day I went to another Ulta in Chandler, AZ and the male manager was so kind. He was appauled by LIZ's behavior and said this is not the policy of Ulta. \n\nI write this to warn you, that if you go to this Ulta location, you will receive poor customer service. \n\nBy the way, it would help if Ulta would be better about keeping enough item of their own brand cosmetics in stock. It seems every time I go, they have a poor selection.

Considreing the above, classify the following: A couple weeks ago, the AZ Republic had a story in their Wed. food section about Dim Sum restaurants in Phoenix. They mentioned China King and so my hubby and I decided to give it a try this Sunday. I am certainly not an expert on authentic Chinese food but I didn't really care for this place\n\nWhen we got there, the only thing they had on the cart was beef tripe. We tried it and I thought it had a good flavor but after that we were left just sitting there waiting. The owner? came by and was very nice and asked if there was anything else we wanted. He gave us a menu of their dim sum items and so I picked a couple and then they were brought out to us. I really don't know the names of things so to me usually the fun of it is looking at the items on the cart and just pointing to stuff that looks good. The place was pretty empty so maybe they just didn't want to make all the items and put them on the cart in case they didn't get eaten. They did have a couple more items on there the next time she came around. \n\nThe place itself is pretty run down looking. They actually put a large sign on the door to let people know they are open since the front entrance is in such disrepair that the place looks closed. Inside the carpet is very worn and dirty. They have chair covers other decor to try to fancy it up but the table tops were not too clean and overall the place just looked like it needed a thorough cleaning.  And as Karen W. mentioned, it was just a little to warm in there to eat comfortably.  I think I will stick to Phoenix Palace and C-Fu on the rare occasions that I do get a craving for dim sum.  Those places are a lot nicer looking and I think have better food even if they do charge a little more.  The only thing that kept this place from one star is that we both stuffed ourselves for less than $15.\n\nhttp://www.azcentral.com/thingstodo/dining/articles/2011/07/25/20110725phoenix-dim-sum.html
