Had the Spicy Chicken Shawarma here for lunch.  I had never had Middle Eastern food before, but what I ordered was pretty good.  The flavors were hard to describe, but they were good.  The Shawarma was a little pricey in comparison to other foods I have had in the city though.  If I'm in the area, I would eat here again.

These were the first and best fish tacos I've ever had.  The fish is fresh and not frozen and the tacos were very affordable.  However, I did make a mistake and ordered way too much food.  I didn't realize one taco and a basket of fries was enough to fill me up and ordered too much.  Don't expect to get your food fast in this restaurant.  I waited an hour just to order because the line was out the door.  The whole time I was eating, the line was out the door and this was at like 2pm on a weekday.  However, the food was worth the wait.

This place good but it wasn't great.  Ordered two chicken dishes, one with a white wine dijon.  Something about the flavors wasn't what I had expected in an Argentine place.  Maybe I just don't know enough about Argentine food.  However, for the price it was a pretty good bargain and if you're in the area you may want to check it out.

This place was amazing.  Ordered a Gyro and Spanakopita.  Both items were very fresh and great.  Great value.  It was a lot of food.  They also bake fresh breads which were very good.  I would recommend this place to anyone.

Went here after work with some of my coworkers.  I ordered a basket of garlic fries and a tri-tip sandwich.  Both were pretty good.  The reason I cannot justify beyond three stars is because of the price.  It was expensive for the location and type of food.  I'd come back here again, but not too often.

Went here and ate outside.  Ordered the spinach pizza with garlic knots.  The food was great.  Not the absolute best I've had but still pretty good.  The outside tables and chairs however were kind of cheap.  There were also a lot of flies outside.  Overall the experience was good though and I would happily return again.

We ate here for dinner because the previous time we tried to come they were closed for lunch.  The restaurant was very small, but packed with people.  We ate at the sushi bar and ordered the Modesto Roll, California Roll, and Philadelphia Roll.  Each of the rolls were huge and we watched the chef do a great job making them.  The fish were great cuts and the rolls tasted great.  There were tons of waiters and waitresses making service great.

This is probably the best sushi I've had in the valley.  They give you a great portion for the price while maintaining quality.  I will definitely be returning here.

Went here for lunch because we were visiting old Sacramento.  Ordered the crab cakes, fettuccine, and angelhair pasta.  The crab cakes were decent but everything else was terrible.  The service was probably more terrible than the food.  It took a long time to order and receive the food and when received we ended up with not what we ordered.  When finally corrected it tasted like canned pasta sauce with dry pasta noodles.  The food could be easily reproduced at home for a few dollars.  When paying the bill we were charged for the wrong items.  I do not recommend this place and I will never be returning here.

Hibachi Grill Buffet

This place was pretty awesome.  Lots of open dining so you don't feel crammed next to other people.  The variety was enormous and the food was surprisingly fresh.

My favorites were the grill, the fresh sushi, and the fresh dessert crepes.  The sushi was being rolled in front of you for lunch and included salmon and tuna.  The dessert crepes were made fresh in front of you with all the ingredients you want in it.

The price of the buffet was very cheap.  I would recommend this to anyone.  Every member of my party agreed that the place was great.  I will be returning again.

The food here was alright.  The portion sizes were not bad, but not great either.  I have definitely had better Korean food, but for the central valley this place was not bad.

The appearance of the restaurant is not so good, but you shouldn't judge the food based on the restaurant appearance.  The food is better.

I'd come back here again, but it's not going to be my all time favorite place.
