| - Used to be one of my fav AYCE places before because of the variety of food they have available. However, our recent visit left a sour note.
I really like the iPad ordering service because I can pick whatever I want and the amount that I want and also other people can see what you've already ordered. However what's the point of letting me order the amount when you are just going to bring me whatever you feel like. It really pisses me off, when I ordered 20 pieces of sashimi I expect 20 pieces to arrive and not 10. Not like we have a small group of ppl. It looks kind of pathetic when you being 10 pieces of sashimi to a group of 6 people. Also the sashimi and rolls/sushi came last, took forever to come. It almost feels like they wanted us to fill up on carb-filled dishes first, like rice and noodles cause those came quickly in generous portions. While protein dishes like the fish and skewers and chicken wings would come with less than half the amount we ordered. We kept ordering and ordering the sushi and sashimi but I think only one round ended up coming before we left and simply just waited too long.
Another peeve was that we made reservations and told them we had children and babies coming. Okay I understand this is not the most child friendly restaurant but we came Sunday afternoon, hopefully not ruining anyone's romantic date night. But it almost seemed like they threw us in the corner in a cramped booth, away from everyone else, while we would have been more comfortable at a table with pull out chairs. I did ask for us to switch tables, when there's obviously tables available and restaurant was not full the whole time we were there, but the "manager" (short round Asian guy with glasses) outright refused us not giving any reasons, but just a simple "you are fine here".
On a lighter note, the server was very nice but seemed like he was avoiding our table every time we were trying to again put in a order for sashimi. I feel like it's prob because of the POOR MANAGEMENT at this place. The food is simply okay... skewers were super dry when they first came, almost like jerky and simply left more to be desired.
I think next time Dragon Pearl!!! Prob a bit more pricey but at least I can really get as much sashimi as I want!
