So let me first start off by saying that, this is the first time i've been here and the last.

A couple of days ago my boyfriend and I we're in town and decided to try this place. Considering that we aren't from the LA area I decided to call when I was in the Chinatown area. The lady on the phone was not nice. I told her I'm not from here and I needed help getting there. She told what street she was on and that she was near the union station. Well, that's nice but I have no idea where the union station is and on top of that I was on one of the crossing street but I needed help finding the other. After about 2 more questions to help me out and 2 useless answers, she just finally said "WE'RE IN LA, OK!" and hung up... WOW!!!! what a very nice lady I might say. Very nice.

After finally giving up trying to find this place on foot we just hoped in the in car and used the gps. We got to Phillippe's; starving. It wasn't really packed but there was plenty of people in there. We waited about 2 mins and ordered our food. Our lovely server didn't pay attention to what we ordered, didn't care what we had to ask, and also over charged us. Getting irritated, we just dropped it and tried not to let it get to us and ruin our meal. Well, honestly there was nothing to really ruin. The bread was stale tasting, meat was tasteless (like something I can get at the grocery store in one of those lunch meat things), potato salad and custard was tasteless, and the only thing good was honestly the yellow peppers we asked for and the mustard. I couldn't even taste the au jus on the bread. And this was all when we were starving, I mean shouldn't food taste better when your hungry? I guess not at this place.. So either it was really bad, or I just came on a bad day.

But, I did email this place, and I haven't heard anything back. I guess they don't care. Oh well, this is one place I'm not going back to, nor am i recommending it. So much for the TV hype.

Also, I sent an Email to them, and I still haven't heard from them... some type of customer service huh?!?!

It's been about 1 1/2yrs since I was here. I honestly forgot who helped me, but I will NEVER forget what he did to leave an impressive impression.

I originally talked to someone in Vallejo and already got everything settled out. But, my mother insisted on finding a better deal on her own (she said I can't do anything right, because im a child). Well I hate to admit it, she did. Or at first we thought she did. She showed me the papers and everything with his own writing (blackmail). So considering Hey, what I wanted was actually 3k less, lets go.

So before we actually went there, my mom had already given him all my information so he can pull up my credit report and etc.. because he asked her to, they said they needed it so they can find a good deal(what bs). How was she suppose to know it was ILLEGAL even though she was my mom.

When we got there and actually tried to finalize the deal. comes to find out he gave me another quote than what he originally gave my mom and it was also more than what any other dealer gave us. Confronting him, he said for what I wanted I could never be int hat price range (what he gave my mom). So guess what? He made a huge mistake and still didn't back it up. instead he told me that he was giving me the best price possible, which was higher than Vallejo's.  Also, they tried to tell me they didn't have my car, and that no other dealership had it, so I had to either get something better or nothing at all (scam).

I was just an unnecessary headache dealing with them. He could never get to the point and just basically told us all these good things until when we tried to finalize it, that's when he told us the truth. (and because most people would just go ahead and finish it because they are already there, it's ok)

HONESTLY.. this place lied, did something shady, and also told me they were giving me the lowest price. when in fact Vallejo offered me 2k less than what they were offering.

So if you want a no pressure buying atmosphere, better deals, customer service (where they treat you like any other buyer), take the drive and go to Vallejo, they'll treat you ALOT better, also they detailed my other car for me for free because I asked (shit, I just bought a brand new car).

*I also talked to someone from Alameda, San Jose, and LA (don't ask, it was my moms idea)*

--Alameda was the worst, I gave them the description of what I exactly wanted in detail and they decided to email me back with  "what color did you want, and how about blah blah blah", and after I responded with  "please review my email, This is what I'm specifically looking for", I received a reply to that after 3 weeks later (which was after I purchased my car).. nice.....

So, my crazy sister told me I had to go to this place. She just wants to go here and look at stuff. Me on the other hand, wants to see what they have to offer. Sad enough, its like a HUGE play ground for out doorsy people. There's one of those shooting games and also a huge fish pond with information on what kind of fishes are in them.

Fun place to go and look and also HUGE variety of stuff for fishers, campers, and cave people.

Hungry and hot from all that walking, my boyfriend and I decided to make a stop here. Recommended by a few of the Plaza workers, they said that this was one of the places I had to try. I tried, and wasn't impressed. It's overly priced for something you can get somewhere else. I honestly think your just paying for the location and the over done interior. We got the three little pigs, shaved pork sandwich, and lemonade. Fancy sandwiches that looked pretty but tasted average. Now the lemonade. WOW is all i can say. Wow as in, watered down cheap lemon water with no taste. so honestly.. keep walking. I wouldn't stop in here again.. also crappy service.

My boyfriend is a huge biscuits and gravy fan. He said the best he had ever have them was when he was in the navy. So, being thoughtful I decided to drag him here during the summer I was in Independence visiting. Considering the time difference, it was a huge pain waking up early enough to come here. the boyfriend liked the biscuits, but he said the gravy was just alright. the biscuits were really big and fluffy but the gravy just needs a little bit more work. Now for me, I'm happy with my french toast. Just pour my dang syrup and eat, simple as it gets. Something I recommend to try if you can wake up in time. friendly service.

I was here during the summer for a week. And as long as I was here, I tried to come here often. I was probably here 3 times.. and GOSH, did they have some good ice cream! Since i'm not from from the east coast, I had no idea wth a concrete was. Think like blizzard, or even cold stones. Mushed up ice cream and toppings in one. maybe some people don't like their ice cream like that, but i do! It's something you just have to try. trust me.

If you want some dang good spaghetti that's way better than what you can do at home; this is the place to be! otherwise... if your looking for an Italian restaurant, your looking at the wrong place.

I had their shrimp linguine, lasagna and crab stuff ravioli. Its better than any store bought, or home made I ever had. I mean common... an Asian doing Italian; that's just asking for a disaster. i'd be putting sriracha on everything.

I like this place.. First ramen I ever had. steaming hot, cramped area. always busy! always busy is a good and bad thing.. good that you know they are doing something right, bad because you might not get a spot. also, if you sit at the bar area, you can see them make it right then and there. I'm soo coming back! and, I don't know about you but, I'm a fan of crunchy beansprouts in my soup esp if the soup is super hot.. I recommend for first time eaters don't you?

I got to this place around 3 I think. sorta late in the afternoon. way late. selections were very limited. but, whatever they did have was AWSOME! cute little bakery with fun looking pastries. I would so go here again. it's just something you have to try. the only down side is they have no microwave or anything to warm up your food if you want to eat it right then and there. boo.
