• Our Hibachi Chef was sweet and entertaining.
• The service by the other servers was inefficient.

“The service at Japonica was very very slow. We arrived and sat down at 7pm and it took us 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order, then we finally received our drink order at 7:50pm. I personally did not enjoy the salad dressing, it may be all a matter of my taste, but the starter soup was nothing but broth and 3 very thinly sliced mushrooms. I felt that the value of service and food product was very poor for the money spent.”

• Wide variety of menu choices, well prepared food, low prices.
• Can be noisy at hibachi tables.

“Great value, especially the lunch specials. Terrific selection -- everything from hibachi steak or scallops to sushi and sashimi to tempura. Can please all tastes here from carnivores to vegetarians. Service is efficient and polite. One of the more interesting restaurants in the Greenfield/Southbridge area.”

Thai Palace Restaurant

Overall Rating: 10

• Best luncheon meal you can get for your deflated dollar.

“I have traveled the world and I found it hard to believe that I could get Thai cuisine in the states as good as Taiwan. The coconut soup is to die for. Can't beat the luncheon buffet, all you can eat for under $10.00. Buffet usually includes four separate entries to choose from, 2 3 salads, 2 choices of soup and fresh fried clams and chicken wings. One will not leave hungry or disappointed. Go hungry with clothing that will give. Youll need it. .”

• The fried rice which was done before the big flaming.
• The rest of the food.

“I found this restaurant overpriced for some of the food served. The soup was like hot water with a few, very few, mushrooms. The thing that spoiled the whole meal was the big flaming using some kind of lighting fluid which gave the food a terrible taste of charcoal lighter fluid that hasn't been burned off sufficiently to get the petroleum taste out. It flavored the whole rest of the food. I would not go back for this reason. The hostess was very gracious and charming. The rest of the wait staff were like robots.”

Safe House The
Jul 12, 2007 by Agent 008 from Colorado
Overall Rating: 9
Food:[8] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Fun theme, good food, great atmosphere.
• Not a full-course meal kind of place.

“The Safe House might be Milwaukee's best-kept secret, in part because there is no actual sign advertising the restaurant. In true secret-agent fashion, you approach the entrance down a (safe and well-lit) alley, stopping in front of the open door marked International Exporters. You'll need to know the secret password to gain entry in a trouble-free manner, but fear not- new rookie agents can also gain entry after passing a brief spy test to prove their credentials. This is all part of the fun, so enjoy yourself as you twirl like a ballerina or spin like a runway model to pass your test. You may find a surprise waiting for you once you've entered the restaurant proper through the (of course) secret sliding door. The inside of the Safe House is pure 1960s Bond. Red lights, alarms, mysterious green canisters shooting about, and CCTV monitors share wall space with spy posters and old Cold War relics. There are different sorts of martinis- shaken, not stirred- and a nice section of drinks. The food menu is a little thin, but also cheap- good for lunch or for a lighter dinner meal. Everything is well-made and served quickly (and thankfully, the food does not arrive in a plain brown envelope). Overall the Safe House is a great fun place for a quick meal or some after-work drinks. If you can track down the secret password (and some folks do seem to know it), you can impress your friends, and perhaps make them wonder just what kind of secrets you've been hiding from them all these years. (tuxedo, spy car, and Bond girl suggested, but not required)”
