| - This was a very disappointing experience overall. Maybe I've become accustomed to their Vaughan location, or perhaps as I've heard from other Yelpers, that this mini chain of restaurants has met the same cost cutting, portion control demise that so many other sushi restaurants have over the years.
The decor was as elegant as Vaughan, but I found staff to be hurried and not really engaged when you spoke to them - kind of the same look you get when a server at a Kelseys looks through you and responds in perfect auto-pilot response patter. Ya it was eery.
Our wait time was fine for a Friday night (5 minutes) so no complaints there, and I really enjoyed our seat on the second floor raised area, nice to look out over the entire restaurant - and heck it was BIZZ-EEE!
My gripes come with the food, I don't mind paying $28 for AYCE sushi, but it better damn well be GOOD sushi. I thought I could rely on Spoon & Fork for this... here were the main issues:
- $28 does NOT include green tea or dessert at the end. $3 for a cup of tea - you're not Starbuck.. RELAX BRO!!
- Ordered the Seaweed Salad - It was still frozen and watery
- Ordered the smoked duck salad - it was salad... sans duck #Fail
- Rolls - eek, where to begin. Haphazardly made, spicy rolls were more mayo than spice, couldn't even survive my chopsticks before falling apart
- Sashimi - such thin cuts that two barely resembled one normally thin AYCE cut
- Satay - Chicken was super dry and beef was good
One thing that really bugged me was that staff. Our server never smiled once, forgot several items from our initial order, I know it happens occasionally but 3/8 items missed on the first order? Come on! Add to that the busser was overly eager and was grabbing at dishes with food still on them - I had to tell the guy to back off twice. RELAX BRO!!!
.... Haven't you guys heard what happened to the last server who tried to take food away from a hungry Italian Community Manager? I won't go into detail but they don't call him 'Stumpy' for no reason (ha ha). But seriously - HANDS OFF!!!
I think this place needs to have a staff meeting and get back to basics, We came in at the end of the evening and felt like we got leftover end of line food, end of night rushed service, and generally were not taken care of.
Get it together folks, I love S&F so I'm all about giving them a second chance
Eatcrest Out!
