   Noisy, drinks were expensive and the food was only average. Spent 100 dollars for 3 people. Felt like it was designed to get people to eat an leave. Poor ambiance.

   As always we enjoyed our visit. The drinks are always great and you never know what the atmosphere is going to be like ( in a good way ). The staff is always friendly and accommodating.

   The food was good but the service was SLOW. The waitstaff did not check with our table and we always had to get her attention. The bar orders were the biggest issue (not the fault of the waitstaff), because the bartender spent more time talking to the two or three people sitting at the bar than preparing drinks.

    The food was phenomenal and service was great. My only (quite large) concern was their selection of music. I have no issue with rap music but prefer not to hear the f word multiple times throughout multiple songs while I am trying to enjoy a meal with my 13 and 17 year old sons.

    They advertised Drag Trivia and a few of us went to play because of that and there was so drag trivia, just regular trivia. It was boring and the waitress got sarcastic with us. Not a fun experience at all. Won't go back.

    I love Phat Sammy's! The food does not disappoint. Definitely check out the phat fries, brussels sprouts, spam fried rice-- all delicious! The sake colada and pina colada drinks are wonderful if you like sweet drinks. If you have a group of 4 or more, try the scorpion or aquarium drinks! :)

    The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was unique and fun. Our server was amazing! She made recommendations for everyone in our group based on a few quick questions and no one walked away disappointed. Overall a great experience for a girls’ night out. We will be going back. One note: be sure to make reservations ahead of time or expect to be turned away if you’re a group or have a very long wait otherwise. This place is popular and seating is limited.

    My girlfriend and I went for a wonderful date out. The drinks were great and the food was delicious. But we were thoroughly disappointed with our service. We WILL go back and hopefully get a different server. We sat and watched her as she joked and laughed while giving great service to everyone but us.

    Great basement venue. The staff were so nice and explained everything. It’s a very unique menu with traditional Polynesian dishes modernized. The Battleship Curry was very tasty. The island drinks were refreshing on a 100F day! I had my first Red Stripe in years - when did it got from a full 12 oz to 11 oz?? Got there on drag queen trivia night and it was a lot of fun. I’ll go back!

    Normally this place is amazing, but our experience with the special Yotta Baka pop up menu was underwhelming at best with slow food and drinks and poor communication to our table from the staff.

    We went for a Japanese pub food special event that sounded cool and spent like $80 and for sure should have just gone to a Japanese restaurant instead. The menu all seemed cool but everything had like an off ratio of ingredients or something. I really like Japanese food so I'm not unfamiliar with the flavors or anything. Also they were playing like 90s skating rink music and I was surprised that they couldn't be bothered to change the music to be on theme for the night. Our server was nice but got kinda swamped, which is surprising at a reservation-only event, but it was ok. I'll probably be back for a drink sometime but definitely not going to go to any future events.

    Our food was excellent, great portions and very tasty. We got there early 5:15 and had reservations for 5:45, they were able to sit us immediately. But that was the worst part. They sat us right by the stairs, every time someone came in the door we froze. They honestly need to remove that table or put some type of divider up. I would recommend the restaurant.

    After about 5 visits, I can say I definitely go for the atmosphere and, to a lesser extent, the drinks. Food is overall good, but hit or miss. Curry was disappointing, fried rice uninspired, but things like the (pork rind?) chips and the Brussel’s sprouts are on point. I wish they had dessert (or, if they do, service food enough that you’d know they carry it). Drinks are generally good. Presentation is great and they use quality ingredients. Too much ice. I’d like a bit more drink variety on the menu; a lot of them have very similar ingredients. Service is the main weakness. Our most recent server acted annoyed when she had to return to our table multiple times because we weren’t ready to order our drink. But when we would ask her questions, she would answer with things like, “It tastes like juice.” Her behavior reminds me of how one of my children might treat the other other teen on their bday: I’m supposed to be nice so I’ll put forth the minimum amount of effort necessary to not be obviously mean (eye roll when Mom turns her back). Service has been about the same most trips. If it’s a Schlick to be rude, it should be obvious. No apparent COVID precautions, even when cases were really high. I’ll be back for the atmosphere, but it’s hard to enthusiastically recommend.
