I am confused as to why the Mochi is $110 a 1/4 at one place and then down the street, Mochi is $90 a 1/4?
What's going on with the Dank?

I love this place. The budtenders are the best, very friendly and know what he was talking about! I live a little distance away, but it is so worth the drive!

This place is OK. But there are way better options out there, within steps from here. I've gone here 3 or 4 times. I've only had my medical card for a few months, and I don't quite understand why this place is as popular as it is.
It is secure, and you'll have to empty your pockets and walk through a metal detector when you go in. You stand in a short line to give your ID to the young woman behind the bulletproof glass, and are told it will be a few minutes. While this process is pretty typical, I found it to be a little cold and impersonal. They see a lot of people come through the door here, and I'm sure I'm just another number to them, so it makes sense. But it would make more sense for them to be more warm and welcoming as a first impression, as this kinda sets the tone for the rest of your experience. There have probably been about a dozen people in the waiting room on average when I've gone, and the wait time has been about 10 minutes, typically. Not acceptable, but again, I rarely have to wait at all elsewhere. When I was called back, I was surprised to see that the bud room was actually pretty small and chaotic, and it seems like there's always a bit of tension in the air, as though the workers are uncomfortable and annoyed. As far as I understand, they're expanding, so hopefully this will help in that regard. (unfortunately, I've seen a lot of dispensaries go too far in the other direction and have a ton of wasted floorspace). The (as far as I've seen) all-female budtenders are generally pleasant enough, but I get the impression that I'm supposed to be impressed with them for some reason, and I'm not. They move quickly and the transaction is more of a brief exchange, rather than an exploration and discussion. This makes sense, given the number of customers they accommodate, but I feel hurried, and pressured to utilize their time efficiently - and it's not that I care to waste anyone's time, but I definitely feel more relaxed at other dispensaries. On one occasion, one of the budtenders got rude with me because she misunderstood what I told her and started suggesting things over my budget, and then acted like it was my fault somehow when I had to repeat. I know what I said, but even if I had been the one to have made the mistake, she should've been easygoing enough to move on without an attitude.
As far as the product goes, they've got a huge selection of all categories of items and bud, and having only visited a few times, obviously haven't tried a ton of it. I was sold a couple of very mediocre distillate cartridges by a budtender that suggested them, and knowing how I could have spent that $60 now, I find it disappointing that those were recommended to me. I also relied on them to suggest a couple of different sativas, and they were relatively inexpensive, so I couldn't have expected them to be much better than mediocre as well. As other reviewers have mentioned, their house shatter is kind of a disaster. Please take your $25 elsewhere for a gram of shatter.
With the completely unpretentious Flavors and the posh Reef a mile down the road, there's no reason to go here, unless you're looking for something specific that is out of stock elsewhere.

They need budtenders that know what the hell there talking about, quality has gotten some what mediocre, but only at the house House of Dank can you by a 4 gm special that will contain over 1 gm of stems/waste. People you can do a-lot better elsewhere in the city!

Bud tenders are educated on products and are very helpful

Good edibles. HOD has good security to help you feel safe; the environment of the place is clean and sleek. However, the bud tender made me feel very rushed and I couldn't freely look at the strains and decide which one I would like. The bud tender quickly recommended one to me - according to him, it was top shelf indica, I don't remember the strain name, yet the quality did not feel top shelf quality. Overall, wasn't a pleasant first time.

One of my favorite dispensaries. Their prices & specials are always good. The staff is polite and knowledgeable. I recommend this dispensary whenever asked.

I love the location & atmosphere. And the quality is always A1. I try to visit at least twice a week. Keep doing a good job H.O.D.

I've recently just got my medical marijuana card and HOD was the first dispensary I've been to and I tell you do I love it. They got great deals and great quality bud. HOD brings me all smiles and their employees are also great.

I wasn't impressed. I got skipped over while waiting in the lobby. The security guard actually noticed me still sitting there and asked what was up. While I was waiting I noticed several people walk in, get the door buzzed open and go right in the bud room. I thought maybe employees. It appears that they were friends of employees or regulars. I didn't see them show any ID or medcard. Finally get to the fun room and the bud tender didn't know much about the products he was selling. He couldn't tell me if it was indica or sativa. I probably won't be back here again.

Upon entry you need to completely empty your pockets and take off your belt for the metal detector. I love a safe secure atmosphere but this was a bit excessive. The experience wasn't as one on one as some people might prefer and I wasn't asked to sign anything once, which also was odd. Still, the staff were kind and so were most of the buds. They had plenty of concentrates and oil for O-pens. They also carried a nice variety of edibles. My experience wasn't horrible, I just didn't get the warm feeling I was hoping for when I walked into the dimly lit lobby. But there is some coffee way in the back if you're interested.

My favorite place to go! Patient budtenders. Always willing to take the time to explain things!
December 17, 2016
Why is it still closed when I saw in the reviews people posting it was open ? I drove there and locked closed up door ?? That was just yesterday dec 17

Ran a killer special promotion today for new patients, couldn't resist. Process was quick, easy, and painless and bud tender helped me out as soon as I walked in, everyone friendly and helpful, and good products too. Will be back

If you like good weed and good service, don't go to The House of Dank. The Dank has been my favorite and only go to for 3 years. Sadly, I am ending my relationship with The Dank. The Dank was given many chances. After about the 3rd or 4th time of paying for top shelf crap that tasted like garbage and dealing with crabby bartenders who are unknowledgable and impatient, I will never be returning. I will, however, wear my House of Dank t-shirt with pride, but will not be providing my business any longer until they get some better bud and better service. For now, you suck.
