| - Shikiji was serving ENDANGERED SPECIES (bluefin tuna) as their sushi special tonight.
My husband and I went to Shikiji tonight and received terrible customer service. The waiter came to our table and told us about their specials, including bluefin tuna sashimi. Since this was the species featured in the documentary about overfishing practices around the world, "The End of the Line", and also the cult classic 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi", I asked, "Isn't that an endangered species"? The waiter said he didn't know anything about that, but in his opinion, 'everything's going to be endangered anyways'. I asked twice where they sourced the fish, and he tried to deflect my question by asking 'what is ethical and what is unethical anyways'? We decided to leave the restaurant after his rude and nihilistic behaviour, at which he wouldn't even let us peacefully leave. He tried one last time to stop us, saying "I admire your beliefs, but if you understood the world, you would think differently". UNBELIEVABLE.
The server was incredibly rude, and had no respect for the planet or his customers, and also no knowledge of what he was serving. This experience was unforgiveable - we will never go back.
