by dontforget

this is a good place to hang out early before you head out to a dance club...

you can meet lots of ppl here, everyone is friendly and ppl from all over phoenix come out here,

the staff is awesome , drinks are good , its a circular bar on the south side and on the north side is a restruant, you can get healthy food at 1am or 2 am in the night , mainly oriental type food, chinese, japanese and etc,

• Pros: overral its a nice place to go

Average Food, Snobby Service, Good atmosphere

by phoenixeater

Agree with several earlier comments about the food and service. We ordered 4 dishes and they looked very similar with only minor changes in the meats and sauces. Otherwise, looked pretty redundant -- in fact, couldn't quite tell the difference without the help of the server, which leads to the next point -- Snobby Service. We tried to ask about the dishes, but were summarily dismissed without an answer. Both the hostess and the server were EXTREMELY snobby, practically oozing haughtiness and attitude. I should point out that this sort of service was par for the course -- we noticed these ladies treating everyone disdainfully --- SO, DO NOT come here and expect to feel welcomed. Couldn't figure out the reason for the snobbiness, but look out, these ladies will give you the stink eye and roll their eyes every time you ask a question. Apart from the snobby service, the ambience was nice. It's a small house with cool artwork everywhere -- the cocktails are yummy too. If you can get over the less than friendly service paired with average food, it's a nice downtown option. The pricing seems reasonable too considering the portions.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: Not really Asian Food (an absolute farce to tout it as such), Snobby Service, No Parking

An L.A. -LIke Restaurant in Phoenix!

by hkahn406

I've been to Fate twice and both experiences were favorable. The food and portions are great and inexpensive. I brought a friend there who was visiting from L.A. and they were thouroughly impressed. Thursday nights are great because they have a DJ (although the music is not abnoxious or loud). The atmosphere is unique and quiant.

• Pros: Ambience, Service, Veggie Friendly, Rice
• Cons: Coconut Curry Dish, Parking, Tea Selection
