| - Wholly Underwhelming.
We went in last night and had a less than stellar experience.
Basically, they were understaffed so much so that not only were we not acknowledged, but ended up seating ourselves and waiting the better part of 10 minutes before we got menus. They only had one server on the floor, and no busser or bartender, so she was very busy. It's not her fault, but still frustrating nonetheless.
We only ordered soups, a salad and a few handrolls, but it took almost 30 minutes just to get a seaweed salad. And let's be clear: this is a seaweed salad, which is 100% made offsite and already ready to go - all you do it plate it. Yes, presentation was nice, but it does not take 30 fricking minutes to slice 3 cherry tomatoes and add a slice of carrot.
The soups ended up coming out last (a miso and a seafood thai soup), and it had taken so long that we ended up having to get them packed up to go as we had tickets to the theatre and weren't missing Book of Mormon for this slop.
My miso ($3) was pretty expensive considering what you pay in most places; although it had more tofu and seaweed than other restos, it was still powdered miso. The real problem was the thai seafood soup - for $8, it was a horrible value. Frozen seafood, stinking broth and rubbery calamari. The only redeeming part of it was the large mussell. But the serving itself was less than 2 cups. For that price and size, I expect more than fake crab, a single shrimp and one ring of calamari.
For 2 soups, 1 seaweed salad and three handrolls - 40 DOLLARS. You've got to be kidding me. Absolutely terrible value!
Yes the room was pretty, but there's no point in having a nice looking resto if you have no idea how to run it. We won't be back - ever.
