Barnes & Noble Groupon
Bought a Groupon for $10 for $20 worth of product. Redeem at a store without any problem. Great deal.
MixBook.com review
I have never heard of Mixbook MixBook.com before. I saw a Groupon: for $15, you get $50 worth of product, so I decide to give them a try.
Their online software was easy to use. With Groupon you either have to order more and pay extra (I did it this way and pay the difference) or loose money as they do not give you refund. ALSO, shipping cost is extra and no other discount apply.
I choose Budget shipping since that's the cheapest option. They could fit all 6 (4x6") books in a USPS priority mail for $5.00 easily without extra fee and I could get it faster, but that's not an option. So I have to pay $12.44 for the slow budget shipping and wait patiently.
Received my books today. The print quality of the final product was quite disappointed and they do not look exactly as the online software's layout. So if you do want to try them, be sure to leave some rooms on the edge.

Rangoli Review
Rangoli
24995 Riding Plaza, Suite 120

I had Indian food at different countries and cities. Rangoli's service was good and friendly. Their food looks colorful but do not have much taste. Would not go back again.

Otani Japanese Steak & Seafood Review

After bought a Groupon, we decided to give Otani a try last night. We called and after 10 rings, someone finally pick up the phone. I can understand if it's a busy night, however, she was rude. I asked when's the earliest I can make a reservation for the night, she hang up on me.
If we did not have a Groupon, we would just go somewhere else for dinner. Anyway, my husband called and somehow got a reservation for us.
We got there early and waited. No problem with that. The chef was really nice and cool and gave a good show.
Now about the food. We ordered Otani Single B: Chicken and
Otani Single C: Steak.
That come with: Appetizer, Meal and Dessert
Appetizer included: Soup, Salad, Romen and 2 pc shrimp
The soup had good taste. The salad was nothing to write home about. The shrimp was pretty good. Romen noodle was not bad.
Meal vegetable was good but the amount was quite small. Order fried rice (need to add $2.00) You would think after adding $2 you would get something more than just rice. Well, you do get few piece of mix vegetable and egg, and lots of salt and soy sauce. In my opinion, it's not worth the addition $2. The chicken was quite dry. The steak was ok.
The white dipping sauce with horseradish was good, but don't really needed for the salty stuff. The brown dipping sauce had lots of ginger which I am not a big fan of.
Now re: Dessert. We never got our Sherbet. We got 2-3 piece of M & M size candy per person. They did not tell us they run out of Sherbet?
Will I go back? No, I don't think so. The flavor was just salty with salt and soy sauce. The owner was rude. It's so loud in there that you can't hear your friend talking.
