| - "Why me, Jesus? WHY ME!?"
So I didn't actually say that, but THAT'S HOW I FELT after eating here when everybody else apparently had the time of their lives. We rolled in on a Friday night and saw the below -
+ Party of a lot of people in the dining room. OK, a crowd is a good sign.
+ Seats at the sushi bar. On a Friday night with no wait? I'll take it.
+ Huge fish to rice ratio. That's my attempt at "low carb."
We sat down at the sushi bar and our server came by with our drinks pretty quickly, and we hit the ground running with our orders. At this point in the story, it's important to note that on a Friday night with a massive group that took up half of the restaurant, there were only two sushi chefs. Not for the sushi bar. I mean, for the whole place.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt for the first few orders because I knew that a group of that size could definitely put a dent in the operation. But after our requests kept getting sidetracked time after time, it became frustrating as we saw our orders get plated with more focus on the presentation than the service speed...only to see it get served to someone else. This was on top of the fact that a few of our orders were also "lost" - not just at the sushi bar, but in the kitchen too. Those bulgogi nachos that I finally mustered up the courage to try? I'll never know how they tasted because they never hit the table.
Ehh, so maybe this was an isolated incident - I can see that happening. I'm willing to give it another shot, but with so many other AYCE sushi options available around town, it's going to be a while before I swing by again.
