| - Aji Sai? More like Aji SIGH... Because that's what I spent the better part of my 90-minute visit doing here.
Coming in on empty stomachs, bae and I were excited for AYCE sushi. We quickly filled out our first order, checking off 10+ separate items, and handing it to a server. Thus began the waiting and the sighs.
20 minutes later, we got our first plate, a small order of sashimi. Shortly thereafter, gyoza. Eventually, green dragon maki rolls.
Soon enough, a server came by with a tray of four plates.... FINALLY! But kidding, he was at the wrong table. He snatched the plates back up, mumbled something, and walked away. (This happened a second time later during our "meal.") We were sad. In our boredom, we filled out our second order and gave it to a server, letting him know that we still hadn't gotten the majority of our first order 40 minutes after ordering. He just said "Oh okay, sorry," and never followed up about it.
Looking around at the FOUR other seated tables in the entire restaurant, we were perplexed as to why service was so painfully slow and inattentive. Our patience was running thin. 1.5 hours in, we started to get small plates of sushi from our second order, when we still hadn't received most of the sushi from our first. Aji SIGHHHHH.
Your girl was cheesed. Bae and I got our things and walked up to the front. I told the guy standing there that this was the worst service I've ever received, and that I was refusing to pay for this monstrosity of a dining experience (lol). Turns out he was the manager, and instead of trying to make the situation better, he demanded that we pay for everything we ate. The servers ran up and started defending themselves in their native language (Japanese I assume), so we couldn't corroborate their statements. But basically I gathered that they were saying "They ate! I brought them food!" Yeah, we ate five dinky little plates of food over 90 minutes... Thanks for that.
In the end, we got hustled and gave in to the manager's demand for $20 because we're spineless :'(
