I don't normally write bad reviews but this place was TERRIBLE. I will never go back even though I live in the neighbourhood and love sushi.
SERVICE: SHIT. They sat us at the back of the restaurant. Guess what happened? YUP. The servers ignored us. AFTER 20 MINUTES OF BEING COMPLETELY IGNORED, we left to a different table and finally grabbed a server's attention to PLACE THE ORDER. NEXT: ALMOST 1.5 HOURS LATER, our order hasn't arrived yet. After feeling really frustrated about the wait, we asked one of the servers what happened to our food, she walked into the kitchen and walked out a minute later ONLY TO COMPLETELY IGNORE US AND DEAL WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS. THIS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY AND SHE NEVER GOT BACK TO US ABOUT OUR FOOD.
AFTER WAITING ALMOST TWO HOURS FOR OUR FOOD, IT FINALLY ARRIVED. Guess what? IT WAS THE MOST DREADFUL SUSHI we had ever eaten. The sushi had a snot texture to it and tasted like plastic. THE FISH TASTED LIKE IT HAD SWAM IN A SEWER INSTEAD OF THE OCEAN. Definitely not fresh.
To make matters worse, not too long after I HAD THE RUNS.
DID I mention how expensive this place is? TOTALLY OVERPRICED. I don't mind paying a little extra for a nice meal, but for diarrhea?
Bistro Isakaya
Shit service. Overpriced food. Guaranteed diarrhea.
My grandma can make better sushi than these guys. AND SHE'S DEAD.
