This is one review I am sad to update. The last couple trips were sub par service wise. Tonight was not any more different.
Been coming here for the last 5 years, mainly for the happy hour. Service was always on par and the menu selections were nothing short of fantastic. Not sure what happened but the service and attention to detail has declined greatly. I remember when they first opened some of the appetizers like the Brussel Sprouts and Karage Chicken they served it to you on some nice sized plates. Over the years the quantity diminished while the price increased a bit. This never really bothered me for the great service and quality of food was always great.
Tonight may have been me and the wifey's last trip here. Let me explain tonight's episode which is pretty similar to our last couple of visits.
As usual we came for Happy Hour. As look over the happy hour menu, we noticed the selections were not as plentiful as in the past. Ironically, the 3 out of the 4 selections we wanted to get our server said was out. So we went with the one that was available which was a Lipa Roll.
Of course we always get our usual Sake Orenji and also ordered a spider roll. We got our orders about 10 mins later except for the Lipa Roll. Our server did not come back around for another 10 minutes. Was wanting a refill on water for awhile. As he filled our waters, I asked when the Lipa Roll was coming out. He said he was gonna check on it. As he walked away my wife noticed he went back to the terminal to input something. Apparently he forgot to put our Lipa Roll order in. So another 10 mins go by and finally we get our order. We were still a bit hungry after finishing it but at this point I was already annoyed. So we just asked for the check so that we can leave. Maybe go to another sushi joint to satisfy our need. Anyways, it took awhile before we got our check and then getting it back to sign it took forever as well. Not sure why everything took forever for the restaurant was only a quarter full including a couple people at the bar.
In closing, I dont think we will be coming back here any more. Im sure we will find another place for sushi for there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Sorry Yonaka lovers but if you look at the recent reviews over the past 6 months there seems to be a disturbing trend so im not alone.
