We went there on a Saturday night to find it to be less than busy. We were told to "sit anywhere" and happily placed ourselves in a private section. The waitress immediately asked us to move to a smaller section, despite it being a relatively empty restaurant.

We ordered some tea, miso soup, and california rolls. Food was good - miso was tasty and the california rolls were delightful.

Our problem is with the service... or lack thereof. We have been here many times and the service is always lacking. This time, our food arrived and our waitress was never to be seen again. We wanted a refill on our tea and our leftovers packed up but the waitress never returned. We also noticed that a larger party arrived and used the initial section we were seated in. No problem... except that they received the best service while we received none. We thought the waitress could at least give us a glance while serving a party right next to us!

In the end we gave up on tea refills and brought our own leftovers up to the counter. We paid, left, and decided never to return. We felt like they couldn't care less about our business and there are so many other places with much better customer service.

Please stay away!!!

We made an evening pit stop here on the way to a short weekend R&R in Harrison. It's nicely appointed and clean for a strip mall restaurant and the menu choices looked decent.

I went with the dinner bento box to go. It came with all the usual compliments in a bento offering, but it was especially nice to see them use wild salmon for their nigiri. Outside of that however, the rest were mostly misses. It came with a sunomono salad, a combination of rice noodles topped with prawns in a strong, sweet-tangy vinegar sauce which seemed too over the top in taste. It's meant to be eaten first to enhance your appetite, but none was to be had. The teriyaki consisted of 5 thin pieces of chicken with a chinese soup spoonful of rice bedded above a blanket of undercooked cabbage and bean sprouts that covered half of my large styrofoam container. At $19 tax included, it was an expensive experience. The rest of the menu looked much more reasonable however.

Whatever minimal service I received was adequate, so dine in patrons should be satisfied with what they're getting.

If this is the only Japanese restaurant in the area, I would probably come back and avoid what I ordered before to be safe.

We had dinner here the other night because we felt like staying close to home. What a mistake. It was pasta night and all the pastas except for the seafood pasta were on special for $6.95. My husband had the baked spaghetti and I had regular spaghetti. We also ordered 2 salads at an additional cost of $2.00 each. The salads were the best part of the meal.

The spaghetti had been cooked for so long that it was almost mush and the sauce didn't even taste as good as some bottled spaghetti sauces that I've bought. I didn't feel it was good value at $6.95 and I would have felt supremely ripped off if I'd paid the regular prices for this mess of a meal. The ambiance is decent and service was acceptable but when I go out to eat my main criteria is that the food has to be good.

Not recommended. Buy a can of spaghetti sauce and cook your own pasta you'll have a way better meal.

Visited this Wings location. I have been to the Burnaby and Surrey location numerous times. The Abbotsford location cannot compare. I have heard from others to stay away from this location, and now I know why.

First of all we arrived Wednesday night to find the wings on special. That was a nice treat, as I though they were only on special on Sundays. The wings arrived, and they were small, dried up, and overcooked. Everyone at our table felt the same way. These were definitely not up to the usual standards at Wings. We ordered a few beers. The first round was fine. The second one was gross. It appeared that the keg was near empty or something, and it was nasty. Fortunately at the end of the night, the waitress was nice enough to take it upon herself to discount our bill due to the beer. We never said anything about the wings, but we should have. The inside of the restaurant is ok looking. It is definitely the plainest, cheapest looking Wings location of them all. It's in need of some serious updating. The service was pretty good that night, although it wasn't busy when we first arrived. It's a mostly younger crowd, which isn't a bad thing. Don't bother going to this location.

Great concept poor execution. What a good idea and location, too bad they could never deliver all the delicious food we were hoping to have. After reading a few other poor online reviews (on another site) we still decided to give this place a chance as it was so convenient (we were going to the hockey game next door). A lot of people had given this place a major thumbs down due to pay parking - so we avoided it in advance and parked elsewhere. We walked over to the restaurant, assuming that it would be busy as it was a game night. We arrived 1.5 hours *before* the game start time. When we arrived, surprisingly, there was already a line up outside. So we waited in line. The bouncer was quite friendly and made the wait not too bad. We said we would sit in either restaurant/pub, whichever had a free seat first. So Finnegan's apparently had an opening and we went in. We were then told - oh, its actually standing room only and you have to stand until a seat becomes available. OK Fine. So we did. We sat at the bar, ordered a couple of drinks and made our way to the table after some time. Once there the server, although very polite, never once offered us refills or new drinks or appies or anything. We had to sit at a dirty table for about 10 minutes before it was cleaned off. From time to time, the server stopped by and was surprised that our food was still not there. I'm not sure why she was surprised - wouldn't she have had to bring it to us?? Everytime she came by she said she would check on it. The last time she came by, she said, "I'm really sorry, they're a bit backed up in the kitchen, it should only be about 2-3 minutes more". So after waiting an ADDITIONAL 10 minutes after that, we just left. We left cash sitting with our drinks and left. Not only was it annoying, disappointing and aggrivating - we were practically late for the game which is literally a 2 second walk across the street. We gave this establishment 1 hour and 20 minutes of our time and all we got was 1 drink each. I will NEVER go back unless they pay me.

The sushi at Sushiteria is really tasty. My hubby and I go there often to eat. We get different party trays each time to share, and all have been great. The only thing was the sashimi was a bit too cold for us to enjoy. (Then again it was a cold day)

The service is outstanding. Food comes pretty quickly. The chef and waiter are always nice and cheery when we go there. One time we forgot to tip, we came back but there was no hard feelings (of course we doubled the tip). There was also an incident where a kid spilled his miso soup by accident, and they replaced it - no problem. The only thing is the drinks are all self-serve. Drinks in a can and tea in a dispenser. I find this quite nice actually, I don't feel like a pig when I keep getting more tea.

Overall value is not hard on the pockets for real good sushi. The place is kind of small, but cozy and warm. Of course, if you just want to pig out and stuff your face, you can't beat all you can eat sushi.

This Paliotti's restaurant is affiliated with the one in Maple Ridge.

Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served. It is not gourmet cuisine but the ambiance is very nice, prices are reasonable and the food is good. Dinners are accompanied by hot foccacia bread and our waitress was very good about offering to replenish our bread. A huge plate of pasta was $14.95 and we both had enough to require a doggy bag,

If you're in Abbotsford it's the best bet if you have a craving for Italian food.

A friend and I tried Mars Bistro for the first time tonight. The first impression was quite good. The walls are a deep red colour and the space is small - enough room for maybe 30 people. It was quiet and we were seated quickly.

For dinner I had miso soup, tuna gomaae, and yam tempura roll. My friend had ebi sunomono, dynatmite combo, and the mars roll.

The good - the miso soup was great, very flavourful. The salmon that came with my friend's combo was very fresh and delicious, as was the tuna. He also gave the ebi sunomono the thumbs up - fresh and refreshing.

The OK - the yam tempura roll was just ok. It had shitake mushroom in the middle with yam on the outside. My only complaint is that the yam was cold - in my option, tempura should never, ever be cold. The dynamite roll was alright, nothing special. The mars roll was really nothing to write home about either.

The bad - the tuna gomaae was a total waste of money. For $5.95 I received a few small cubes of tuna in a wasabi sauce. The tuna would have been good if the wasabi didn't overpower it completely. For the price, I would have liked more than the equivelant of one piece of sashimi. There was no spinach to be found either. Oh well.

Another thing to mention to prospective diners - the portions are very small and quite pricey. It is more of a fine dining establishment for a quiet, possibly romantic dinner.

The service is excellent and a lot of attention is paid to detail. I wouldn't return simply because the value isn't very good for the product. However this is much better than the other sushi places in Abbotsford that I have visitied.

Having just moved to Abbotsford, I thought I would start trying the local sushi places to find the best one. Unfortunately Dake Japanese is one I will not be returning to. We arrived on a Saturday evening to find a quiet restaurant that seemed relatively clean - always a good sign. Ordered up some miso soup, tuna/salmon sashimi, and yam tempura roll. My friend had the dynamite box which consisted of dynatmite roll, ebi sunomono, tempura, gomaae, and salad. Also ordered one piece tuna belly and tamago.

The good - yam tempura roll was very nicely presented. Impressive! The salmon sashimi was delicious - tasted fresh and just the way it should be.

The bad - oh dear. Tuna sashimi was still frozen. The miso was weak. Tempura was just ok but the gomaae was terrible. The dressing was tasteless and runny. The tuna belly was also frozen but no complaints from my friend on the tamago.

The service was ok - polite waitress and the food arrived in a timely matter. Forget about getting tea refills though... no such luck!

Being spoiled with good sushi in Vancouver, I will not return here. Frozen sashimi? No thanks. Weak miso? Not impressive. I will continue hunting.

Should also note that the fruit flies converged on us which was quite worrisome. Lots of bugs flying around in general trying to share our meal.

Try another place.

Always wanted to try out this place every time I drove by the place,
Finally last Friday me and 2 other friends decided to go check it out,
It was 2 restaurant at the same spot with a off sales store in between,
The old Finnegan's Pub and a new concept restaurent call
Phoenix Lounge.
We got there at 7pm and Finnegan's was quite busy, so we went to Phoenix instead. This is a big restaurant, with a crescent bar, leather boot seat, nice dark woodwork, water fall, also a upper area where there was a function going on at that time.
Our waitress was very informative telling us the special on Phoenix's side and as well as Finnegan's side. Guess you could have Finnegan's menu while sitting at Phoenix's.
We pick 1/2 Lb snow crab leg and calamari as appy and it was very very good, The crab leg is cook just right and the portion of the calamari was big.
I have pork cutlet as my main and my friends share the 16 oz ribeye with more snow crab leg. Both were cook well and the portion were big too.
The price of the food is well worth to check it out, The place is very clean compare to a lot of local join in the area.
Don't forget to check out the Hi- tech washroom, jet speed hand dryer and waterless boys room.
I will definitely go back soon.
