| - What's up with all the hatin'?
Granted, I've never experienced the horrific food or service that everyone else seems to agree on. I've never really noticed it, actually -- whenever I'm here, I'm too busy reminiscing on old times and cracking a joke or two with old friends.
The food isn't anything godawful. I always order their unagi lunch combo if I'm feeling fishy, or the chicken teriyaki ($6!!). Maybe it's because I frequent much sketchier Chinese joints often, but I've never had found anything to complain about with the service. I mean, just give me my food and my water refills and I'm sated.
There was this one memorable time at good ol' Tako that brings this from a three-star to a four-. I was in a party of 14 or 15 people: high school aged students, no less. We decided to go teppenyaki, sitting at a square table with a grill in the middle and a great view of the food being prepared. The chef was certainly Japanese, dressed in hat and all. He grilled, fried, and sauteed right there in front of us, teasing us and cracking jokes as he served us course after course. Great way of getting rid of post-exam stress; probably the best meal I've had yet, out with friends. Best part? the sub-$15 price.
