“Avasa is a stunning restaurant that impresses with its elegant decor and warm ambiance. The standout feature for me was the charming selfie corner, which added a fun touch to our visit. My friends and I had a delightful time indulging in an array of delicious dishes, each bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The staff truly elevated our experience with their genuine friendliness and constant smiles, making us feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout our meal. Overall, Avasa offers not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience that I thoroughly loved!”

“Where do I start in giving this place it's much deserved praise.
I have been looking for a restaurant like this!
It truly did not disappoint!
Yesterday was my first time experiencing this restaurant.
From the environment to the music and of course it's menu, it was all very good!
I had gotten the tilapia/wings/fries and was thoroughly pleased. Loved the fries!
What puzzles me is why/how I hadn't heard about this place til now.
I will definitely be returning!
I've already shared my experience with several others.
Lol I might stop back in 2day!”

Seafood • $$
“Had the best waiter, Paul. Drinks from bar were outstanding. Love the choice of sides…….so many fresh vegetables prepared nicely. Hubs got the Alaskan Halibut, I got the King Crab legs. We are not opposed to spending money on a nice meal. But for a pound of king Crab Legs at $82 to have the shell soft, I was a bit disappointed. Most of the meat was good, the ends were dried out. I believe they sat in water too long.”

“It's weird to talk about how great a brewery is by leading with salad, but in this case, I have to. I normally get whatever pub fare a brewery has but I was feeling something lighter, and the buffalo chicken salad is one of the best salads I've ever had. The beer here is also very very good bordering on great. They have a good variety of lighter stuff, barrel aged stuff, and IPAs, but it was really nice for me to be able to get a full flight with no IPAs as they aren't typically my favorite. In my mind, a must go to if you're in town. Beers took forever to come out despite me seeing my flight across the bar for 10 minutes, that's my only knock.”

“We are here from Massachusetts visiting our son who just had surgery. He wanted to take us for some amazing food and man he was spot on ! We have been here for five days and we eat out a lot. This Zu & Pocha Restaurant is by far top notch. It not only exceeded all of our expectations but surpassed a couple of crazy high-end joints that couldn't hold a candle to this place. I would be remissed if I didn't mention the amazing team effort from a top notch staff. Back home you would have a line out the door. My wife and I are stuffed with delicious food and drink. We will be back without question every time we visit our son or should I say we will visit our son when we come back to have a fantastic meal for a great value. Thanks again, Your newest biggest fans Bob & Paula”

“Went there (party of two) last night for a meal of appetizers and drinks. We ordered the shrimp cocktail hoping for a chunky ceviche-type experience. The flavors were good and just the perfect kick. Our preference is a little less tomato juice and a little more of the chunky ingredients (reason for 4 on food). We also ordered the Queso Fundido. Very good flavors. Love the chorizo and the homemade corn tortillas.
Cadillac marg in a small glass...$19 (yikes!). Good but maybe not worth that price.
Service was excellent.
Downsides on this restaurant in general is how loud it is inside (reason for 3 of atmosphere) and how challenging to park(nothing they can do about parking).
Whoever owns this corner has put wayyyy too many busy restaurants in place for the amount of parking. So, if you want to come here arrive early as the restaurant is popular and they do not take reservations.
I definitely think overall the food is worth it and we will come back.”

Pizza • $
“Went there for the very first time was in an Emergency room. We were really hungry and I was talking to the nurse telling him that we were from Philly and it’s been really hard to find good Pizza So he told us about this place and he said it’s Open 24 hours which that’s crazy, It was like 12:30pm and we really don’t eat late so we went over there and it was a couple people there. The service was great. The food was the bomb. I definitely liked the pizza.
The only bad thing is that my Wife had to use the restroom and she said that it wasn’t Clean…… but I figured it’s late at night……They’re Open 24 hours. They probably just didn’t get a chance to get to it so I’m not gonna ding it so bad. But definitely that’s a must because back where we’re from if the bathroom is clean, the kitchen is clean! But I’ll tell you one thing I’m definitely going back. The best Pizza since I’ve been in Arizona for six years👍🏼”

Mexican • $
“This is my favorite Filib’s in the valley. They have sandia agua fresca and a comforting junior Texas burrito, with slow roasted chicken, potatoes and sour cream. Other valley locations often won’t do a junior burrito or have the aguas frescas like this location has. Keep up the great work”

“My friend is in town and she has celiac so we were trying to find a good place for her to have variety. We found a recommendation for this place on a gluten-free page. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. I was shocked at how gluten friendly they are, even to the point of having a dedicated oven for the gluten-free pizza us. My friend was overwhelmed with all the amazing options, and absolutely loved that she could pick whatever she wanted. We had the focaccia bread, the bacon, mac & cheese, and the fungi Florentine pizza. Dessert we tried the apple crisp and the tiramisu, both are which are gluten-free. The food was incredible. We will definitely be back.”

“Customer service here is very kind and thoughtful. Sounded like a family owned business and the owner recently passed away. The food looked and smelled amazing, but the pizza was a bit disappointing for the price $54; undercooked and OK sauce. I settled on 4 stars because of the good customer service and the hope that it’s just transitional issues. I’m excited to try it again once they are back in full swing!”

“Update: Oct 30, 2024 - another great experience. I had a minor problem with an order but when i wrote an email, the owner looked into it and immediately took care of me. Kelly is amazing... she only works days and you can tell she really cares about what she does. More businesses need people like this!
AWESOME. I have ate at other ATL's and this one is FAR the best. The atmosphere, staff and management at this location is so refreshing. The wings are great and the sauces are 'da bomb\ at all locations. Buts some of the other locations should take note because this is how you do it! Thank you ...you have earned my business. Even though the other location is closer, it is worth it for me to drive.”

We took a chance and sat at an open table and we were promptly greeted by our server. Menu by QR code had lots of choices at very reasonable prices. Food translated well and was fantastic. Everything was hot and fresh and seasoned well. Would highly recommend.”

“Liked this store having a lot of official and licensed Genshin merch, though as a genshin player who recently moved to play Honkai Starrail, I was disappointed with the limited amount there, it had a ton of Genshin merch on the other hand though. I know the website has a ton of Honkai merch on the website, but in the story there is almost none here sadly. It’s quite annoying because looking at the website it shows a ton of merch, but there’s none. Still if you’re a fan of Mihoyo, this place is for you.”
Mexican • $$
“Absolutely blown away by Cocina Chiwas—this place is a must-visit for anyone who loves bold, authentic, beautifully executed Mexican cuisine with Sonoran and Chihuahuan roots. From the moment we walked in, the service was flawless—attentive, warm, and perfectly paced.
Every dish was a standout. The oysters were fresh and briny, the burrata was creamy perfection, and the Caesar salad—wow. I’ve never seen one so massive or so flavorful, with the perfect crunch and just the right kick. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the carnitas tacos were rich and deeply satisfying, and the chile relleno had that ideal balance of spice, smoke, and softness. And then there was the chicken mole—an absolute knockout. Deep, complex, and unforgettable.
Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully balanced. We couldn’t stop talking about the food all night. Cocina Chiwas nails it—top-tier flavors, stunning presentation, and heart in every bite. Can’t wait to come back!”

“I know India has many different regions and flavors but for the masses here in the US hear me when I say this is one of the best Indian restaurants in Arizona if not the US.

Coffee Roasteries • $$
“This review for Cortez is long overdue. To add the very short of it at the start, if you live in Arizona and drink freshly roasted coffee daily and you are not buying from Cortez, you need to at least try a bag. My first order was because it was cheaper than other local specificity roasters. I keep returning for more because of Cortez’s unique selection of odd and exciting fermentations and processes (Juicy Lulo springs to mind quickly). It is some of the best coffee you will ever have. Story Time: Sorry, not sorry. I used to go down the street from work and pick up bags from another Arizona roaster; however, I was laid off from GM along with over 900+ other people. I found Cortez by searching for a local coffee roaster that I could order by mail that would not break the bank to save some money. I made my first order on Nov 8th, 2023, and ordered a bag of Columbia Ocampos, plus some other small 8oz bags from Cameroon. I made my first cup of Ocampos and quickly realized that it was one of the best cups of coffee I have had, and with that, he had me hooked because, on Nov 22nd, I ordered a second order, then Dec 10th, Dec 22nd; you get the idea... I have been drinking coffee daily from Cortez for over a year, and each new, unique coffee gets better and better. My standard order is a monthly 2lb bag of Vulcan Azul for espresso and each new drop. When writing this, it is Colombia Vergel, which is just… amazing! It is fruity, acidic, and a real treat for the senses; who knew coffee could be so wild and flavorful! I had the pleasure of meeting Ron Cortez at his cafe (The Bright Side) in Tempe once a few months ago. He was an absolute pleasure, and I felt I could speak with him about coffee for quite a while. I ordered a pour-over Finca Amalita (that is his farm, so cool!), which was made in a vandola, and to this day, I have not had a better cup of coffee, and I really need to find some time to go back. Anyway... long story short, buy some Cortez Coffee.”

Don't believe everything you read on the reviews some people just love the complain. Everything I order look exactly like it did on the pictures and was delicious.”

He was very knowledgeable about the drinks and dishes and took very good care of us. I will be asking for him next time as well. The spinache artichoke dip was absolutely amazing! I had the rasta pasta and also absolutely amazing my husband had the big caeser which he loved the only thing he didnt like was the soup. Other than that the whole experience was amazing!!
Parking: We went to the location that is at the arizona mills mall so plenty of parking!
Kid-friendliness: We didnt have kids with us but i know our kids would have loved it. The place is like a kids dream restaurant!”

“The lady that took our order was awesome! So helpful. There are many options from the bread to meat, cheeses and add on items. The sandwiches were so tasty! Their house made bread is excellent. Service and sandwiches were top notch! I highly recommend this spot for a great lunch!”

“Tempe resident here. Hubby and I drop in from time to time and it's always been pleasant. There are a half-dozen or so local beers on tap, plus the usual (Buds & such), and wine, and a full bar if you're hankering for a cocktail. The menu is very short, just 5 or 6 items, but they're done well. The indoor area is very cozy and when the weather is nice it opens onto a lovely patio in the courtyard.OK, we were married in the courtyard 30 years ago so I may be biased, but I don't think so.”

“Grabbed a quick lunch from Chinese Noodle Express when I was in the area. I went inside Tempe Food Court and ordered from the kiosk in the lobby. The kiosk was super user friendly and the whole ordering process took 2 minutes. From there it took about 10 minutes to get my food. I had string bean steak plate. I really like the seasoning on the steak, it wasn’t chewy and there was a ton of green beans. It was a huge portion and definitely had enough for a snack for later. Would order from Chinese Noodle again!
Vegetarian options: Seem to me lots of tofu options.
Parking: Huge, free parking lot.
Dietary restrictions: Lot of veggie friendly and gluten free options!”

“This place is a lot better than Old Town Scottsdale. Not racist, not sweating you for what clothes you're wearing, and the drinks are normal prices, not $ 18 bucks for a 12 once Michalob Ultra.”

“Let’s see if you care enough to respond- So disappointed!Why are you charging for 20 oz drinks and serving in obviously undersized cups that when weighed are only 15 oz including the cup?!? Using holiday cups w your logo and paying for them by undercutting what your regular loyal customers are paying to get is a lowsy way of doing business. Stop using the undersized cups to up off your regular loyal customers as a means of paying for your holiday cups! Or, 🤔 maybe customers should be warned that they’re not getting what they are paying for- unsavory and poor business practices. And update your menu! No excuse to not serve sugar free and low fat options when diabetics and weight conscious clients are also paying clients who now have to go elsewhere because you don’t serve them! Shame on Bikini Beans! Or did you think that girls in things w sweat dripping off their bodies while making our drinks and overly sugaring drinks will make up for inadequacy?!? And make sure that your scantily clad servers at least wear antiperspirant and take the time to write what the drink is on the lid so when omeone orders two or more (as I have been for sometime now) they can actually tell which drink is which! Do the photos below look like something you’d pay for and actually consume w confidence?!? Now let’s see if Bikini Beans even cares enough to reply!”

“Born & raised in San Diego, I've lived in Tempe for 7 years now. I'm a Mexican food lover that will travel far & wide in my search for good Mexican food. Sonora Cocina Express is a 1/2 mile from my front door but I'd never been there before. All that has changed now... I've been there 3 times in the last week. What do I like about this joint? #1... it has a different menu. This is not the typical drive-thru taco shop... not the typical sit-down Mexican restaurant. #2... they serve 5 different soups... 6 days a week! #3... they serve street tacos... with 7 different meats available. #4... there are daily specials. Friday is a tamale special... and the red pork tamales are made fresh that day! So far... I eaten the Red Pozole... Cabeza Tacos... Green Chilaquiles w/ Eggs... and the Red Menudo w/ Bread. All were delicious!”

“My wife and I had lunch here and loved both the food and the service. The food was fresh and delicious! I especially enjoyed the El Jefe beef tacos and my wife says the goat meat tacos are to die for!. The Aztec Fry bread comes with powdered sugar, chocolate syrup and honey. Great way to top off lunch!”
