| - Went to Shuseki for lunch on 1/3/11, as Monta was so packed, it was nearly a 45-minute wait. Wow, what a CHANGE for me.
It used to be a pretty tasty place, but after this last visit, they -have- to improve ALOT for me to return. The place was decenly busy, but only one waitress for the entire place. Therefore, she was not very attentive.
The food was pretty disappointing, as well. I got their tonkotsu ramen, and I guess Monta has REALLY spolied me for the good stuff. The broth was weak, and flavorless, the 2 slices of chashu were unseasoned, boiled bits of nothing.
My husband ordered the katsu curry set, and whar he got was just gross and unacceptable. The curry sauce seemed from a pre-made boxed mix, and it was cold, and seperating from itself. I know that a boxed Japanese curry mix -can- be fantastic, if it's hot, and decently tended. It looked VERY unappetizing. The katsu was freshly made, tho and was decent. (so he said)
The waitress seemed to avoid us, and never -once- asked how the food was. No matter, as we were running late and actually getting a fresh order just wasen't going to work that day.
They -have- to step up their game, or they will loose lots more customers who have so many great places to eat in Chinatown.
