This is a fast and easy way to suggest, or review a restaurant! We will call these User Reviews on the following slides, and the reviews themselves contain pros and cons of each restaurant.

6. Thai Food… User Review for Beau Thai Restaurant: User Review for Beau Thai Restaurant: Beau Thai has great salad rolls and Tom Yum soup. I usually call for take- out because I am too busy to cook at home. The portions are really big and flavorful, but I have never had very good service while I was there. You might want to call ahead of time, or walk over there if you live in the neighborhood, because parking here is tricky. Beau Thai has great salad rolls and Tom Yum soup.
