| - After walking along king along King street and tried to find something "new" or at least a new place, we saw this fellow standing there with a tray of sample sushi. My partner was hungry and after tasting the sample, we went in this new place Maki My Way.
It is a take out place with a few tables but we figured that we will try it out.
The server is also a cashier. She is an Asian young lady who was quite pushy in trying to get us to order. She did not explain anything (we found out afterwards because the owner/food sampler explained in detail to another table who happened to be beside us) and kept coming back and asked "are you ready" ? She did tell us to order the Love Boat, the most expensive food in their take out menu.
After she came back 3 times in 5 minutes, we ordered the Love Boat and what a mistake it was! It is a $39.99 entree for 2 and I figured that it would be okay.
What you get is this: (price is calculated based on their al la carte menu)
1. "Japanese" salad - garden salad with wilted lettuce, tomato. My partner did not notice that there were red edges around the lettuce - an in indication of old lettuce. It came with ginger salad dressing in the take out ketchup containers. I did not eat the salad because I do not enjoy red edged salad leaves.
Two Tiny bowls of miso soup (4 oz soup) in a disposable bowl $2.50 per bowl so total of $5.00
2. One piece of tempura shrimp, one piece of broccoli and carrot deep fried ($1.75 for the shrimp - calculated from $3.50 for 2 shrimps and $1.75 for 2 pieces of tempura vegetables) , total of ($7.00)
3. 4 pieces of salmon sashimi which was not assorted . I saw the other two tables got different fish with their sashmi appetizer or came with their small platter. ($4.00)
4. One edamame ($2.50)
5. One California roll ($7.50) which was small in size and poorly wrapped
6. One spicy salmon roll ($7.50) which was not spicy and had tiny Chunks of salmon.
7. Four sushi (they gave us salmon only and really why? The other tables who orders the small platter all got assorted fish) ($4.00)
All in all, it almost added up to $40.00 but why bother giving people an impression that the Love Boat is a combo deal especially the food quality and quantity does not come up to par.
We got all salmon sushi, sashimi and not spicy salmon roll . I could have ordered all al la carte and get better choices.
There was 4 pieces of pickled ginger on our "platter"
When we asked for more, the server came back with a tiny take out container of ginger (the type you put ketchup in) and it was two slices of ginger. This is a poor service and cheap delivery.
Maybe being Asian, she might think that we are tourists so why bother with good service. The other tables had good service, their platter had ginger and wasabi and yes, the Italian (just guessing ) owner explained the food choice in detail.
After dinner, we were told that the TIPS must be paid in cash and the food can be paid with credit card. What kind of rule is that ?
They did not post it on the outside .
Mediocre food gets mediocre tips...so we gave her 10% tip and left..
Do not go to this place unless your time is limited and you just want to eat something. Go line up at O and B canteen. You will get much better service and food!
Or walk up to Queen street and go to sushi time !
Did I mention that everything came in disposable containers and you have to clean up your own table.
