Case: First time visitor to Mr. Mama's and was looking for something off the Las Vegas strip so as not to spend every dime we had in one sitting... We also wanted something reasonable, local and good. Well Mr Mama's had good reviews so we gave it a try and sure enough the prices were good, the customer service was even better and the food was great... fresh, filling and hot. The owner and his staff treat you as if you were in their home... We watched the owner interacting with customers and children and he was very kind, generous and loving and you could tell he really enjoyys making people happy. This is the reason I gave it 5 stars... Keep up the good work!

Case: Custard pancake was delicious, fluffy with a sweet custard taste. 2 stars for sloooooow service and a very forgetful waiter. Pricey for the overall experience.

Case: One star for the service and the cocktails.  If you want food, go elsewhere!  My boyfriend and I were excited to try this new place on the strip.  We ordered some large spiked iced tea's that were great.....then our food arrived.  We ordered the fried chicken sliders and when my boyfriend bit into one, it was raw in the middle.  We sent back the slider platter and asked to have bbq beef sliders instead, as there is no way he was trying chicken again.  When the beef sliders arrived, they were about 80% fat.  Not good fat either, but flabby, gelatinous fat.  We didn't eat them, asked for our bill and left.  We were not asked why we didn't eat the beef sliders and we were charged for them after they served us raw chicken.  I loved the cocktail, but that is not enough to go back.

Case: I like Tamari - it's hip, young, and has lots of interesting dishes.  The atmosphere is fun, and I like the crowd - it makes me feel like I'm somewhere other than Pittsburgh, which on some nights, is a real plus.\n\nThe chef has some really inventive dishes on the menu.  I personally am not a huge fan of their ceviche, as I think it is too bitter.  But then again, I am not a huge fan of ceviche in general, so who am I to judge?  But, you read my reviews because I judge, so that's my opinion on that.  Certainly I think the ceviche could be improved by using a different platform - the current cracker thing gets soggy within two seconds and is not tasty at all.\n\nThe Robata grills are fun and always perfectly cooked.  I recommend getting the sampler if you're with a group and splitting, so you can try a little of everything.  Consistently good ones are the bacon and quail egg, and the salmon.  The chicken is also pretty good too.\n\nOf the entrees, my favorites are the lamb lollipops and the pork belly.  The lamb lollipops come on a bed of sweet potatoes, which is a great complement.  The pork belly can't help but be delicious, since it's essentially a big slab of tender bacon.  YUM.  \n\nTheir sushi is also quite good and gives all the other Japanese places in Pittsburgh a run for their money.  It's fresh and reasonably priced, and you don't have to deal with obnoxious South Siders (*cough*Nakama*cough*).  Try the Tamari roll and the TNT roll.\n\nIn general, always try the specials too.  They have some really good ones.  The only reason I'm not giving it full stars is because I consistently feel like the sizes are too small for the price.  I know the quality is high, so the portion sizes are justifiable, but... it always bothers me, just a little bit.  But not enough to keep me from coming back.\n\nOh, one more tip - sit at the bar by the kitchen if you can.  I mean, just try it out at least once, if you come multiple times.  Watching them cook is a real treat.

Case: STAY AWAY!!  The food was absolutely some of the worst I've eaten.  There is nothing Japanese about the cuisine.  Meat either overcooked or heated in a microwave.  Steak, chicken and shrimp with rubber consistency.  Vegetables overcooked.  Sushi didn't appear to be fresh.......Everything thrown in the garbage.  Wasted money!!

Case: I used to like Pei Wei but something about their meat tastes different.  It does not taste right.  I tried it a few more times but haven't been back since and will definitely steer clear.  I told a manager right away and he made a new plate, but the new meat tasted just as strange.  I told him and the sweet fellow apologized although it was out of his control.  \n\n I hope this is not another case of quality suffering because of quantity.  Is it easier to buy from sloppy, poorly regulated slaughter houses and inject meat pieces with filler - creating a mystery meat that the masses will most likely still enjoy as long as there's a distracting sauce or glaze?

Case: Los Paisas has stolen my little Colombian food loving soul. I am crazy about plantains and yucca and LP carved a nice place in my heart! Finally made it in for lunch after hearing many good things from my wife and other friends. \n\nThe inside is quaint and houses a small bar, a handful of tables and a few TV's. Not over the top with decoration. Just simple and direct. \n\nThe staff was zipping around the dining area with multiple plates in hand. A wonderful Colombian culinary ballet was happening around us as we anticipated the arrival of our lunch. \n\nWe started with the Tostones con Queso. Green plantains with queso fresco. Only 3-4 on the plate, but perfect for two to share. These things are topped generously with fresh, melted cheese. Chewy plantains and melted cheese? Might as well be a bullseye. \n\nI ordered the Bandeja Tipica Colombiana. A menagerie of flavors, textures and traditional Colombian dishes. The pork cracklin' was by far the most interesting item on the plate. Fried pork skin. It's like a high-five in your mouth. Like a chewy pork rind but succulent. It's a mammoth-sized portion. I'd recommend trying a bit. Eating the entire portion would be a bit much. The steak, egg and sausage were all fantastic. \n\nHere's the kicker. The herb mixes they bring to the table are the golden goose, the cheery on top, the KO punch and the holy grail rolled into one. Spices and herbs, olive oils that complement every dish rather well. Mixing each one in with the rice and beans....something I crave daily. Can't wait to come back in just for these. \n\nLastly, the agua frescas are immaculate. We tried the pi\u00f1a (pineapple) and loved it. Served in a tall glass with many fresh chunks of pineapple afloat. Loved every sip/gulp. \n\nThis is definitely one of our go-to's in Crown Town! Love you, Los Paisas!
