Instead of going to Pho Saigon like I normally do, I decided to try this place out to see what all the hype was about. I mean the name itself makes you wanna SHOUT IT OUT LOUD! Sad to say that all that hype was just hype.

Location: It's all by itself in a new developing area. No shopping centers around or anything. I'm so used to the Chinatown where you can go to the grocery store or get boba tea after eating a bowl of Pho.

Service: They were nice and friendly but a little too nice and friendly. They must have came to my table every 5 minutes to check up on us. I mean COME ON! Let me EAT! QUIT BOTHERING ME!! But I guess it's more good than bad I suppose.

Food: Nothing spectacular about the food. I just wished the portions were a little bit more. Don't want to pay X dollars for a big bowl of soup and a little bit of noodles. I'm not that stupid.

I don't plan to come here again unless I'm in the area. Other than that, I will stick to Chinatown.

BEST PRICE IN TOWN!!!

I don't know if anyone agrees with me but I would call this place a fast food Restaurant. If only they had a drive thru window. They are real quick when it comes to ordering and making your food. Prices are dirt cheap and they also offer all you can eat miso soup!

I'm not that big of a fan on drinking tea but after sampling some at a Yelp "Office Hours" Event, I can't believe what I've been missing out on!

The one thing that makes this place so unique is the teapots! They have all kinds! It made me think of Beauty and the Beast with the family of teapots and dishes started talking and singing! LOL..

Didn't get a chance to try the food so definitely coming back for that.

Chicken Nuggets + Sweet Tea = YUM!

they also have wi-fi here. I saw a lot of people in here with their laptops and books studying/reading..  I will try this place out next time I need to study instead of the usual Borders/Barnes & Nobles/Starbucks...

Hands down the best gym I've been to! It has everything you need. Basketball courts, indoor/outdoor volleyball, indoor soccer, indoor tennis, raquet ball, cardio equipment, table tennis, indoor track, dumbbells, weight machines, indoor/outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, dry/wet sauna, fitness classes, and a combat training room.

They also have towel service with your membership and executive style locker rooms available. If you're a student, then the membership is already paid for in through your tuition. Not a bad deal at all.

I come here once a month to get my supply of protein, multivitamins, health snacks, and energy drinks. Ask for a guy named Bryon Lee. This guy knows everything and anything about your nutritional products. If you're not sure about what to take, just tell him what your goals are and he will do his best to educate you on how to reach that goal.

For first time customers there is a 10% off your first purchase. He says he can match any competitor's pricing so just go in and challenge him on that!

Wacky Mongolian Grill and BBQ

This is the one place you can't complain about the food. You know why? CAUSE YOU MADE IT! For $10, you get a bowl and your job (depending on how hungry you are) is to fill as much meat, vegetables, spices, flavoring, veggies, and fruits as you can into the bowl.

It sounds easy but it's NOT! I've been here enough times to master the art of stuffing that bowl and the key thing is to start off with the veggies, then the meat, and top it off with the spices and flavoring. By adding the heavy meat onto the veggies, you are able to pack in more food. The way they have the line set up is the meat, spices, flavoring, veggies, then the fruit. So if the line is not too busy then do it my way and you will get your money's worth!

Came here for breakfast and I learned a new thing: MUFFIN + BUTTER = YUM! I never knew the two combined tasted so GOOD! I plan to eat my muffins with butter in the near future.

I ordered the blueberry muffin (which came with two sides of butter) and the Avocado "BLT" Omlette. My whole meal was just under 800 calories and thats including the butter!

If you goto the website, each item on the menu has nutrition facts to it so you know what you're taking in.

Next will be the lunch menu...

    Walking into this location makes you feel like you're in the 60's! They got the old school music, old school table and chairs, old school style of food, and you can't forget the juke box.

    Burger King says you can have it your way but at Cheeburger Cheeburger, you can REALLY HAVE IT YOUR WAY! Your choice of bread, cheese, how you want your meat cooked, choice of fries or onion of both, etc.

    I recommend getting the Semi-Serious Burger. It's a smaller version of the one pound, Oh and did I mention a Snicker's flavored milkshake?! YUM! They have over 50 flavors to choose from. The reason I gave this place 4 stars because the fries/onion rings were eh... nothing spectacular about the fries/onion rings..

I came here to watch the Cowboys/Vikings Game. This place is the BOMB BEEZY!! As the waitress took us to our table, I couldn't help but look at other people's food. It got me really anxious to sit down and order. This place kind of reminds me of Cheesecake Factory for some reason.

If you look at my pictures, you can see what I ordered and don't make the same mistake I did and get the deep dish. The small was $10 and I thought to myself "I could have just ordered from Pizza Hut and got a large deep dish for the same price!" Don't get me wrong, the pizza was delicious, the price was just a little too much for me.

Overall, I plan to come back again to sample other dishes. Reason for the 4 star is the pricing.
