Pancho's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina

I hadn't eaten at Panchos for probably 5-6 years and boy have they changed. They used to be a solid 3 star type place with decent tex-mex for a decent price.

But no more...

$6.50 for queso dip??? are you freakin kidding me???

Next i tried the combination #11 - 2 (chicken) burritos with rice and beans. The burritos were tasteless at best, just chicken with watery salsa thrown on top for...taste?. The beans were dry. The rice was ok  but only about four forkfulls?? All for the 'bargain price' of $9.95

Even the iced tea sucked (not fresh brewed)

WAY WAY OVERPRICED CRAP. I will NEVER return.

If you enjoy ramen noodles from a bag you'll enjoy Doc Chey's. Actually that kinda puts down bag ramen which has way more flavor. Crap in a bowl.

Pretty lame all around.

The food was dull and kinda greasy. I think the theory is to coat everything in garlic butter and soy sauce and hope for the best.

When the fried rice is the best part of your meal, i think it says everything.

I don't think our "chef"  spoke any english which didn't exactly make him very engaging. His skills were pretty limited.

I asked for my steak to be as rare as possible and it was handed to me well done and tough. The shrimp was ok but way too buttery.
Dipping sauces were pretty bland also.

If you like food that has all the spice and flavor of Piccadilly then this place should be right up your alley. Enjoy!

RuSan's

Neighborhood: Edgewood

RuSans is the fast food of the sushi world.

When i go to Wendy's or McDonalds I don't expect to get a great steak or killer steak sandwich. The same goes for RuSans, i don't go the for a top notch sushi dinner I go for fast food sushi. It's cheap, it's filling and it's ok.

one recommendation is the Hamachi-kama, it's actually really good.

I could do without the loud techno but whatever thats their thing.

If you expect more out of this place you will be sorely disappointed.

Loved it here. The decor and vibe of the place is awesome.

We started with the beef avocado salad with sesame dressing from the summer menu. Very fresh and tasty with well seasoned beef.
Next up was Imo mochi (potato cake) which was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Okonomiyaki was next up and didn't disappoint at all, without a doubt the best i've had in Atlanta. Our next course was spicy tan tan ramen with egg noodle in spicy soy-chicken soup w/pork, egg, green onion etc. The ramen was real really good, spicy but not overbearing with deep complex soup base.

Service was excellent and attentive without being bothersome. Every dish was served with a smile.

The menu is very extensive which will lead to many more visits in the near future.

Basically akin to cafeteria or airplane food. Straight off the Sysco truck and on to your plate.

I had the BBQ chicken which was tough as leather with a generic grocery store / Sysco tasting BBQ sauce. Green beans straight out of a #10 can. Mac and cheese was ok.  My fiances salmon was watery and way overcooked, like it had been half cooked, held in some kind of fluid then grilled?? Yams and baked beans were just ok.

The decor is pretty bland except for the "chef" has 2 large pictures of himself on the walls. Hello ego!

Service was friendly and attentive which accounts for the one star.

Plenty of good soul food in this city.......just not here.

    I love the Midway.

    Great beer & wine selection, great service and awesome food!

    My favorite dinner so far has been the 'Bistro steak' which can't be beaten for the price, around $9.00

    The chicken fingers were pretty awesome also.

    Great patio.

Overall this place is pretty awesome. I have been eating and drinking here since it's inception.

Great bar food and decent priced drinks. The BBQ is excellent.

My one gripe would be that the wait staff sometimes disappear for a bit too long.

The sushi here is about as interesting and fresh as the restaurants name. I really have had better grocery store sushi. The rice was very bland and the fish was tasteless. I imagine this is how sushi at an old folks home would taste. I don't think i will venture back to try the Thai.
