| - I hate to downgrade Sen of Japan, I really do. But this is something that's been a long time coming and I'm finally breaking.
I arrived, was greeted, and sat for almost ten minutes with no menu or beverage. I SHOULD have walked out. Waitress finally comes, takes my drink order, brings my drink, takes my order, and leaves me with no napkin, chopsticks, soy sauce, etc.
While I was waiting, a couple came in and waited fifteen minutes to get a menu and be told, "Kitchen closes in fifteen minutes so last call is in five minutes."
The food is well-prepared, the late-night happy hour is a great deal, but for what? To sit around for half an hour for your appetizer? The poor girl was so swamped since she "HAD" to cut a server at midnight so it was just her lone self running around, taking care of nine different orders. It took fifteen minutes for my beverage and she completely forgot my edamame.
This isn't anything new, though. Usually I sit at the bar and eat sushi and service is okay because I have the chefs in front of me. But sitting at a table? Forget it. Service was just terrible. Never again. No more late night Sen of Japan.
EDIT: ALSO! Be forewarned that this place may just randomly close at will. I've seen them close up shop at 12:30am on a non-Sunday, so if you're going, hoping to see if you can squeeze in - CALL FIRST and save yourself the frustration.
