Text - I am sad about this place!   I really love local owned places and there are so few left that I really wanted to love WD.  I have been there twice and both times it was impossible to eat there.  I will say I do not drink coffee so I cannot comment on how good it is or isn't.  I live near by so my family and I have stopped in on our morning walks.  The first time my kids and I ordered smoothies and a breakfast burrito, bagel and a scone.  The food was worse than terrible.  The burrito was frozen and microwaved, the bagel was clearly some old Costco bagel and the scone was so hard my daughter could not bite it.  The smoothies were so sweet with some syrup they put in it that we all ended up drinking water.  \nHoping the glitches were just the weekend they opened we waited and went back a month later.  Nothing had changed!   I think if you just want coffee and a table to chat or work on your laptop the place is OK.  The decor is nice and they have a few games for the kids.  There is free wireless (I think because I saw people on laptops).  If they change their food to be non-froze microwaved stuff I think it will improve the site greatly.  Get some fresh fruit, really smoothies, fresh baked items and they will reach a wider audience.

Text - Friday night and it was packed. While we were there at least one party was always waiting. Thats the sign of a good eatery, so we thought!\nWe had the following:\n -Bento Box (Sashimi cuts were generous but the I dont think it can be compared to the the freshness of the stock in DC metro or Vancouver BC or Singapore scale). California roll was just bland. Tempura was greasy and had a funny smell. Salad & Miso was average.\n-Fiery tuna roll was worse than our local supermarket pre-fab. Absolutely no taste, more like a blob. \n- Octopus tempura was too greasy and a funny oil smell.\n- Pan Fried Soba: plenty of veggies but what a bland prep!\n\nBottom-line: You can pick up better plates in a plastic box from your supermarket isle. To be fair, I cannot compare this place to other local joints. My reference scale may not be calibrated to the right standard. Looking at the wait list I cant tel that its all yelp hype. May be this is the best you can get in the middle of a desert. My expectations were not  in line. \nSo if you are from near the coasts and have refined Japanese palette, pass HJE and look for Mexican food while you are this close to the border.

Text - All you can regret sushi that occasionally makes serviceable food. \n\nSeriously, once in a while the food is decent, but most of the time it's poor even for AYCE standards. I've had two meals out of 30 or more that were decent. The rest inspired later regret, and not spawned of over eating. If it weren't for co-workers that insist on eating there I'd simple avoid it. Instead I sample a bunch of single items to figure out what is least offensive on that given day and then just order more of it. Given that strategy at least ensures it's not a waste of time.\n\nMaki are considerably more troublesome than anything else. The speciality rolls are generally overly cold and mushy. It seems like these are made in advance and refridgerated. Not very appealing. It's worse if the roll contains tempura. You can guarantee that even the memory of that item being crunchy has long since passed. \n\nFor the most part the staff is fairly responsive, but with a good side of surly apathy. It is true to the worst aspects of AYCE, sit down and eat. Don't expect any sort of experience. Don't pay too much attention to the quality of the food.

Text - Okay, here is the adventure, we needed lunch in less than an hour and we were struck with a craving of Vietnamese food. My friend, who lives in Chandler once ordered \""to go\"" from a Vietnamese restaurant near her home. I loved it and thought, I want to find this place. To set out to find a random Vietnamese restaurant, I happily stumbled onto Anise in Chandler.\n\nWe arrived slightly later than the lunch hour so the restaurant was empty. It was slightly past the lunch special but the hostess/server allowed us to take advantage of the $8.99 lunch (includes a soup or salad, and choice of entree). Even though we were the only ones inside, the food was delicious and the server was attentive.\n\nBetween the two of us, we tried the fresh spring rolls and crispy egg rolls and the noodle lunch entrees (vermicelli with pork and vermicelli with egg rolls). The one thing that I really appreciated was that the cook mixed the sauce and it was delicious. I never seem to get it right when I do it on my own and the mix was the best I tasted. \n\nThe restaurant was clean, the service was prompt and attentive and the best part, the food, was delicious. I will definitely return. Just a note, I am not sure if this was the same place that my friend ordered to go but if not, it seems Chandler is a good place to find Vietnamese restaurants.

Text - Anthony is awesome! Super chill, down-to-earth waiter. I always tell him what's up whenever I'm at Teharu. Also, the food is way cheap for what you get. Cheapest sushi in Tempe/Chandler! You can get a meal that fills you up and a sake bomb for like $15. Unreal.\n\nI don't get how some of these reviews criticize this place. It's awesome, never had a bad experience there.

Text - Just like being back east! Always up to par. Great service, fresh home made food, cozy atmosphere. My favorite place to go to for incredible Italian food. They never cease to amaze. Some of my favorite dishes are the Veal Trieste, chicken francaise, chicken Marsala and rigatoni with sausage. These dishes are mind blowing! Even the traditional eggplant parm or lasagne is made perfectly. They know what they're doing here. Always a favorite!

Text - Being a single man that lives alone, I'm always looking for good restaurant near me In Laveen, AZ.  I use my yelp app to look for locations near me. I came across this place. The majority ads were very negative, but I thought give them a chance. Unfortunately I should've paid attention to the other review. I will not say the food was disgusting, but it was not very good whatsoever. I ordered the house egg for young (sp) with an order of fried rice. That egg foo Young was soaking with the oil it was prepared with. The rice in the fried rice was burnt. \n\nPeople, I would just say read the reviews first. \n\nBlessings.

Classify the case below.
Long long complainy story short: I will never stay here again.\n\nI checked in at 9pm on a Saturday, had booked a non-smoking room and at check in, tipped the girl and asked for either a strip view or upgraded room. She said neither were possible because they're super busy. Ok, fine, I get a room over the parking garage on the 2nd floor. I walk in and it smells like someone just smoked a whole pack of marlboro reds. I forgot to ask, she forgot to tell, it's a super stinky smoking room. I call down asking for options: different room? pay for an upgrade? transfer me to another mgm property? refund? No, No, No, No. Apparently, I got the last room in the hotel at 9pm on a Saturday. Right, Claire, Very-rude front desk girl, I don't believe you.\n\nIn the morning I go down with the boyfriend down to talk to the manager (I hate that guys can get more done in this world, but oh well). And after a talk with him, he offered us a \""Player's Suite\"" in the tower, but still no view of anything good. When I asked about a strip view he said we could have a one bedroom suite with a strip view for $50 more. I kinda felt like that should have been given after the 3 phone calls and in-person complaint but whatever. The \""Player's Suite\"" isn't a suite. It's a normal size room that has a couch instead of a table and chairs and a mini-fridge. The hall also STUNK of old food and ciggs because some very classy people had left they're room service tray in the middle of the hall with cigarette butts thrown in drink glasses.  Awesome.\n\nThey get 2 stars for me winning $50 at a penny slot and giving me a mini fridge to keep our booze cold in. I can't handle bad customer service, especially for how much competition there is in Vegas! I'd much rather stay ANYWHERE else on the strip!
