This is really traditional Chinese Dim Sum. As a picky eater, this is our newest favorite Dim Sum place in the East Valley.

This is also our official meetup place for people to learn Chinese table manners and learning Chinese Language. We meet every few weeks on Sunday. You can also take out the Dim Sum, which we usually do when there is crowd. This place used to be empty when they started few years ago. Now the word of mouth brought them so many customers. You will have to wait in you come after 11:30AM. A friend of mine come down there every week from fountain hills to meet with us.

The staff is very nice and friendly. They also have a quiet room for reservation if you have party of 10 more. If you are shopping at Lee Lee supermarket, you don't want to miss this Dim Sum place.

First of all, I am not a massage type of person before I visit this place. I never felt comfortable to have someone's hands on my back. After reviewing all the options I found on the Internet. I decided to pay a visit to Massage Heights in Gilbert AZ. The store manager Barry actually gave me a tour before I made my decision to stay or not. I asked a lot of questions about everything I had doubt about massage therapy. He answered all the questions nicely even I forgot that after all.

While I was waiting, the lady at counter answered phone very professionally that make me feel more conformable. She has to arrange some appointment for those people who changed schedule. I am not the only one decide to walk in. There are two girls in front of me. I have to wait a little longer, because I walked in without making appointment. Should make appointment before visiting. Wished they offer FREE Wi-Fi, so I can get some work done while waiting.

Anyway, they offer introductory coupons on the Internet that you can print at http://www.smartlocals...

Their room is clean and quiet. After all, it's a great experience and good decision to pay a visit. Will recommend my sister-in-law to get relax treatment when she visit us.

Are you tired of big cable or DSL companies that screw up your bill with unstable high speed Internet when you really need to get your day to day business operation going smoothly?

Bluewire offers some amazing wireless technology for your small business high speed broadband need. People like me who work from home and rely on stable Internet connection to run business should consider Internet over the air. They also offer telephone package that is so cool, you virtually can do any possible tweak to add extension, forwarding, recording etc.

Visited their Chandler office and talked to them in person and saw some very interesting telephone features. They are locally owned businesses that make me feel more comfortable. If you are running small business somewhere that don't get cable or DSL or get unstable connection, Bluewire is a great choice. Best of all, there is no cable or DSL involved.

They also seem to offer residential high speed Internet services as well. There are some details found on http://www.smartlocals... Give them a call and ask for a promotion package. You also get a free PHONE without costing you extra. Glad that I found them.

C-Fu Gourmet Restaurant  

Category: Dim Sum

 Update - 11/14/2009  
This place is used to be my favorite Dim Sum restaurant, but I have not visited them for a while. It's not because of their foods.

Their foods is good and service is OK. It's their sneaky behavior at the register that bothers me. I don't know if they are still doing the same thing, but I just got pissed of once for all.

Here is the story.

I was at the cashier desk to pay my bill. The lady at the counter did not know I can understand Cantonese. So the lady told customer, who is a friend of her, that the 15% tips is already included in the credit card receipt as total. So there is no need to put tips in the blank tip line.

What a shocking finding. If you don't calculate your total bill, you may be paying double tips! What a shame on them. I don't mind to pay 20% tips, but they should told their customer that the total number on your receipt already includes tips!

I have not visited the restaurant since!

    The dim sum is very good at C-Fu. It's always crowed over weekend. The only think I always told people about this restaurant is that their food is too salty. It tastes very good, but you will have to keep drinking water or tea to digest the salt.

    They have the test chicken feet in town. Don't tell me you don't like it until you give it a try. :-)

Discovered this oldest barber shop near ASU (Arizona State University) in Tempe AZ from one of the local event. The old school style haircut for man only. It's not a salon, but it's definitely a place if you want to get nice haircut and some dirty joke while watching sports or news on two giant big screen TV.

This is the oldest barbershop since 1962. They only open from Tuesday to Saturday. This is s small place without fancy decoration. They have many numbered haircut photos on their wall so you just tell them the number they will do the rest.

They don't have any web site or advertisement, so you can only find their coupon at http://www.smartlocals... to save some money!

They seem to take cash only. They have the oldest cashier register machine I have ever seem though.

What a small world. I was told by an art collector in Scottsdale AZ that I can get my expensive artworks ship in North Scottsdale AZ with custome crating and freight shipping at reasonable price, which you can't find anywhere with other big shipping center. So I decided to drive 40 miles up to PostNet in Scottsdale to see it myself.

In turns out they are owned by the brothers of this PostNet. No wonder they offer the same great quality services. You can see my other review about the N. Scottsdale PostNet, but I am glad that I have both trusted locations to get my shipment done right.

    The only place for me to make color print. Don't have color printer in house. So glad that they have great laser color copier that can take care of my color printing need in matter of minutes.

    Got my mailbox over there with keys that I can access anytime. Family owned print shop. It's like family in the businesses. A place to chat with other local people. Actually meet other business owners there too. It may becomes a meetup place for local businesses someday. That will be nice. Isn't it?

This is the best PostNet in Arizona that worth an 80 miles drive to get your expensive art works shipped! If you visit in Scottsdale AZ and are addict to collect artworks, antique and some very valuable collection items, you know you will need a trusted place to ship your item to anywhere in the world. They are top ranked PostNet in the USA.

This is a family owned PostNet in the North Scottsdale, which is also a member of Sonoran Art League. If you are shipping something expensive and want a custom crating and packaging for your insured freight shipping, you need to visit the place in Scottsdale. It took me an hour drive to Scottsdale to get my stuff shipped secured and insured!

I was told by a friend who also collect valuable artworks to give this place a visit. I am glad that I made good choice. If you are living south East Valley. The PostNet in Chandler (Owned by the same family) is also doing the same great service! See my other PostNet Chandler AZ review. You can also find their online coupons at http://www.smartlocals...

 Update - 8/23/2009  
Can't believe there are many reviews after my first one years ago. To be honest, I don't go there any more for few reasons.

1. The owner has changed
2. The foods quality has changed
3. Service is NOT as good as it used to be.
4. The original chief seem to be long gone.
5. Found a better places to have the best DIM SUM in Chandler AZ

Once very satisfied customer is no longer their customer. If you want real good Chinese foods and restaurant services, go somewhere else. I guess I will never know how good their foods now. Don't even want to try.

    This is the best Dim Sum in entire Arizona. The owner was the cookers of Great Wall on 35th Ave, Phoenix. They moved to Chandler and start their own restaurant.

    If you want the best Chinese traditional Dim Sum, you can't miss this one. We used to drive 40mile one-way to have Dim Sum in Phoenix. Thanks to the owner, I only need to drive 8 miles round trip now.

Bobbie's Flowers

I actually met the owner at other local family owned restaurant, who gave me a tour of his flower shop. A huge freezer room and huge place full of gifts and flowers. It's very nice to see some local family owned business doing well and still giving back to the local community.

Support local businesses is one thing, offering quality products and services is another. They put those two together very well. I would not have second thought when I order the flower from local shop. They even have online store that you can place order from pretty much anywhere in Arizona or even out of state. They will take care of you! I have never heard about flower happy hour and free flower on Fridays. They have coupon for that at http://www.smartlocals...

After all, they really know how to communicate with local community. Many local businesses I met are already their customers. It's a small world, but Bobbie's flowers and gift shop makes it a wonderful world.

I totally recommend!

I don't eat fried chicken very often, but this chicken fingers are very tasty. Not like other franchise fried chicken. I did not get fries and got extra chicken fingers.

The place is small, but the owner Alin is awesome man. I was very much focusing on the chicken and sauce. Haven't tried all the sauces, but will give them a shot.

Some people tweet on social network about the tasty Chicken meals. Even news crews were there as well. Now the only place you can find their coupon is http://www.smartlocals...

The owner will even give more free stuff if you show the coupon on your iPhone or smart phone. So you don't have to print and bring in the coupons.

I would recommend everyone to eat at their restaurant. The chicken fingers are too tasty to resist! Best Fried Chicken in Town.
