| - Oh lordy, where do I start?
We arrived. "Please Wait to be Seated". Several servers everywhere, we finally got someone's attention and they sat us after a wait. They told us that for $27/person we can order as much of anything we want off the menu! SWEET, let's do this.
The waitress did a good job of explaining the iPad menu ordering system to us, but this in the end was the place's undoing. We ordered one round of assorted items (the menu is really big, which is great!) the items began coming quickly, and then slower, and slower and so slow that we had to flag down a server (they must've been short staffed, since it was the afternoon of NYE) each time to get them to manually remind the kitchen of what we ordered. We didn't get everything we ordered, but we got most of it, and decided we were ready for round two. We ordered another bunch of rolls, sashimi, and desserts. This time we received maybe 2 of the 10 things we ordered and had to find someone to remind them of each of the rest. It was tiresome. We waited nearly two hours to get the simple orders.
There is clearly a big flaw in the iPad ordering system. You cannot just send the order to the kitchen, the waitress does that for you, and there's no way to use the iPad to communicate/ring over a server, as I've seen at all other places with iPad menus. The waitress was nice, but man, there was nothing we could do. Eventually, she told us some of the things we ordered were sold out and said we could have ice cream instead of mango pudding. She took our flavour orders and within seconds returned with the wrong flavours for each of us.
We were still missing several things from our second round at this point and decided to just leave. HOWEVER, at that moment the waitress swooped by with two shot glasses full of pink jelly stuff, said nothing, and left. We sniffed it. Was it... cold pepto bismol? It LITERALLY could not have been anything else. We tried it, it was undeniably that sweet, medicinal taste. Whattttttt the?
The food in general was fine, but nothing to write home about. The presentation was actually embarrassingly awful sometimes. I guess that's what happens when you get "All You Can Eat".
Okay, we are outta here. We went to the check out where they said, yay! 10% off your meal because it's NYE. That's nice. I pull out my mastercard and she says, oh but the 10% only applies if you pay in cash. Okay, nevermind.
This place gets two stars because I think if it were a quieter day and they were properly staffed, it would've been maybe even fun to order on an iPad and eat all the sushi you can! I won't risk going back to find out, though.
