Zakkushi was always my first go to place for skewers in downtown. Haven't been here for few months and we decided to celebrate anniversary in zakkushi today. We didn't make reservation so decided to come early. Arrived at 5:40pm and the restaurant was half full .
The server told us we have the table until 7pm and we both thought it's enough time for us since we eat super fast. But the reality is we wait until 6:30 to get our first skewer.
Surprisingly , the skewers are noticeably smaller than before and the tastes are BAD . not sure if they changed chef or not, the skewers are either too salty or the chicken heart is not fully cooked :(
The server kept coming to our table and reminded us of the time... We only have 30 mins to eat and fault was not on us! We waited 40 mins to get our first skewer!!! He told me it's time for last call at 6:40 , when we still waiting for 70% of skewer to come. He is not rude but I felt he was hoping us to leave asap.. really upset ...
I have to mention they also increase the price a lot! Premium set was 19.5 before and now it's 22.5. Everything on the menu was increased 20%!
We were very disappointed this time and would not recommend this place any more .
