So we sat at Table 5 and our chef was Aaron , our server was Jasmine ticket #40023. So everything started out well, we received our table in the time we reserved. Our server started us out with water as we placed our drinks/sushi/and food orders. Our sushi came late, like after our soup. And only one of the two rolls came. We had to inquire about the 2nd roll. The second roll came after our chef had began serving the rice and stuff. (We rejected the second roll, it was already time to eat the main meal). There were times we had to ask for our waitress to find out where our regular steam rice was, or for refills, or for another fork. Seemed once the chef came it was a total disregard for the table.
So as we were talking about our service and another table enlightened us to the fact that the chefs don't get none of the tips at the end of the night that you give to the server. You have to tip the chef independently in order for them to receive any tips. In my opinion I think that's total crap, the chefs are the personalities that everybody gets to meet in deal with not the server. That policy should be reversed where all tips go to the chef, if you want to tip the waitress then do so.
Aaron was a great chef and a good personality! We def be back to see HIM
