Great food, no doubt.The only place i go if i'm not feeling AYCE. Great for Dynamite or spicy red dragon , or spicy salmon salad. The spicy salmon roll and unagi roll is just mediocre.
Be warned, there are only 2 chefs and 2 waitresses and a definite a lack of attention. We were a group of 5 and they only had 1 occupief table that could accommodate our group so we were asked to wait (it wasn't a full house.. Just needed that table to leave)
We waited for 35 minutes before we kindly asked again if we could be seated/if they could rearrange the tables for us. The waitress asked again how many our group were.... (The 5 of us stood awkwardly in the front this whole time). Anyway the answer was: no, she cannot rearrange the tables and asked us to wait some more.
Another 10 minites passed and we finally begged to sit because we were absolutely starving. We sat down at a booth and they pulled up a chair (why didn't they do this earlier?) It was 9:25 and we order. Just as they gave us the food they gave the bill at the same time and said they were closing at 10... Take what you will from that, it was a bit irritated.
Anyhow, this is not unusual. I've been there a handful of times and everytime i think to myself i would rather get take out and eat in my car or go somewhere else that welcomes larger groups
I hate writing bad reviews... I really do. I worked in the food industry so i have a high level of respect for it but there have been more than a couple disappointing visit to Hinote.
