Btw 88th and 89th St
Brooklyn, NY
(718) 238-9880
Looking for a good Hibachi place in Brooklyn? Well look no further, this place is certainly not the place. I don’t even know where to begin because everything about this place really grinds my gears. I’ll just give you the brief info:
1) There isn’t a single Japanese chef working here, in fact they’re all Chinese.
HI-BA-CHI! Does that sound chinese to you?! Heck, non-asian people don’t know that
and quite frankly they really don’t care because they think we all look the same and
cook the same. There is a huge difference when you have a Chinese guy making
Japanese foods and visa versa. Why do they do this? It’s because the owner is
Caucasian and he hires Chinese chefs for cheap labor. How do I know this? I have
inside information. And these chefs only make $7.25/hr. How sad is that? Comes with the quality of the food.
2) This is purely a tourist place.
The people who come here doesn’t know jack-squat about Japanese food. Everything tastes great too them that’s why you see rave reviews on citysearch. All bullsheit.
And in that one night 6+ fucken birthday alarms went off where wierd fake
japanese-esque birthday music played for the birthday boy/girl/man/woman. Sure it
looks entertaining, but if I wanted entertainment, I’d go to a fucken circus. The hell is
the professionalism?
3) They discriminate against you– treat you based on the color of your skin.
My experience: I was assigned an asian waiter and a half ass chinese chef. The
caucasian group next to me had a caucasian waiter and had warm towels for them to
wipe their hands. Where the fuck is my fucken towel?? No I don’t get one because I’m
Chinese and my people are cheap bastards. How the hell can they even assume that?
And it wasn’t just them, it was the black and causasian table in front and next to me
who receives warm towels!! And you know what, the indian table of 2 did not receive
warm towels. What the fuck is this kind of shabby discriminatory practice?!
3) Food is nothing special and tasted horrible cause everything was
drenched in soy sauce, entertainment was poor and disgraceful, and our
chef looked like he hates his job so incredibly much.
Fan-freakin-tastic cause that’s what I need. A circus-like restaurant with low quality
chefs being paid next to nothing and has to sell out so much to get tips. How can I live
with that? I can’t because my mouth is burning from all the soy sauce. Christ sakes,
wouldn’t happen if I had a real jap dude making me some hibachi. Fuck.
Alright enough about my problems, let’s get started with the review of the food.
First off:
Reservations: Yes, especially if you have a party of 4+
This place was kind of desolate, but they do recommend them to call in advance. I came in at 8:30pm, just lookie here:
Oh btw, once you step into this restaurant, you’ll feel how touristy this place really is. Everything, everything is so corny. The decor is nice, bathroom clean and nice, but it is so hot in there and I’ll tell you why.
Free Soup: It has traces of mushrooms, fried onions, scallions, chicken broth, and good ol’ fashion m.s.-mother-freakin-gee, yeaah.
Wing-the source- tell me not to drink this soup, because it’s a) not very clean & b) bland-sucks.
Verdict: Hell yes people, this bowl of soup suck because it taste like water + msg.
Free salad: Iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and ginger vinegrette.
The source also tells me that this also isn’t that clean and that it sucks.
Verdict: This really doesn’t taste so bad. I can do without the ginger, but otherwise it’s fine. It’s nothing special though.
Mai Tai Cocktail: Vodka, cherry, and some fruity punchy flavor.
Price: $6.25
Verdict: It was a little strong for me, but this is one of the supposed drinks that’s popular around here. I wouldn’t try this again if I were you.
As we were waiting for the rest of our food, more people started to come in. And look, it’s some kid’s birthday. Charming.
Yeah and this metal dealie is where the food is prepped and prepared.
Gyoza
Fried japanese dumplings
Verdict: The blandest piece of dumplings I have ever had. What do you think you should do? Ignore this plate.
Oh look, our hibachi chef is already working on our food. He asked me not to show his face to the world if I took a picture of him. He says for immigration reasons. Haha-very funny. I seriously almost fell off my chair laughing at his serious-to-lame joke. Haha.
California Roll
Verdict: Look how they skimped out on my rice and crabmeat. These people who prepared in the back sure have skills or sure wants to starve us to death. I’m addicted to avocado, so I liked it anyways. I think you guys can skimp this because it’s nothing special.
Lookie, the chef is making his “secret-special-ultra-fried rice!”
Hibachi Fried Rice
Price: $2.95 (That’s 1 bowl)
Verdict: My god is this bowl greasy. It tastes like cha-siew, or porky pork, and lots of soy sauce. If you ordered chicken and steak like I did, go for the white rice instead.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention, like all corny chefs, he did his job and tried to flip a piece of cucumbers in our mouths. He missed my mouth twice. Once landed in my neck, another in my face. That’s greasy goodness.
So far I have:
Medium steak – piece of meat suck ass, bland, and you can taste the cheapness.
Everything else: Cucumbers, mushrooms, onions, and carrots, oh it was terrible because it was so drenched in soy sauce.
Verdict: My chicken was supposed to be here as well as my bean sprout, oh well. But they also were overwhelmed by the raw power of the soy sauce. I thought I was poisoned that night. Plus I was already buzzed from drinking my Mai Tai on an empty stomach.
Man did it start to get so hot because there was fire roaring from all sides, therefore cutting all my breathable oxygen.
So this is my meal. Oh man take a guess at how much this place cost?
Dessert:
Red bean ice cream.
Verdict: Nothing special, not even worth getting. I must have been quite buzzed.
Wow, look at those fishes kiss. I actually forced the boyfriend to take a picture of this because I wasn’t fully functional any more. Very very cute.
The mai tai led to an argument with the bf about religion and science. It was the craziest sheit, but I’d go there to get liquored up, haha.
Summary:
Reservations: Yes
Food: Terrible
Price: Expensive! $36/person for 6 people. That’s more expensive than Olive Garden as my bf would put it, and it’s so true. So true.
Decor: Good
Bathroom: Very clean, stalls are a little cramp though.
Ever coming back: Only for drinks.

You only got Vicky to come to my blog. That’s one. Am I entertaining her, really? I thought I was a bore.
You’re up at night because you’re as committed as I am now. I’m not a talented writer. I suck. A long way to go before I can actually write something decent.
I didn’t realize I looked at Wing funny. I didn’t know if that was him or not, and I couldn’t stop to inspect. I caught him at the corner of my eye as I was rushing somewhere else in the opposite direction. I didn’t realize he recognized me too. I will say hi next time.
I need to upgrade my camera now too. Will you help me do your exact same process?
Yes, I do remember telling you that it’s embarassing to snap pictures, and I just want to eat my food. Let’s get Eddy out with us next time and convert him too! I still wouldn’t snap pictures at Four Seasons.
Girl, go to Lea or Ninja. I want pictures, especially Ninja. I think they’re doing a special now.
softrice said
Water was $6 a bottle. I don’t think he liked that, but I don’t care. I want Voss! Haha.
Why did you get Wing a pair of jeans? I want a pair too. What’s that brand that girl told me to get? $200 plus a pair? Lucky or something like that? Get me that.
I hope you’re full of energy to come back and flood comments back at me.
We really need to find more decent places. We need to do a rave review. Where would you like to go? So, NJ? Isn’t that a food court though? Can we do a review on that if we grab dinner somewhere there? Do they have?
Piola, Lasso, Comix, Hong Kong Station, Liberty View, where else can we go? Do we plan on going? beard papa’s?
softrice said
$36 per person ain’t bad. But you can do way better at Minado. Have you ever tried that place? It’s called Todai now, but the food is still the same, though the quality and atmosphere, I must say, have dropped. Is the chef an illegal immigrant? He might be, but I’m sure IRS people won’t look through online blogs and match through faces of who’s on and not on file. Maybe this is just me, but why is red bean ice cream purple? For $36, you might as well add another $14 on and get good food and entertainment at NINJA!!! Seriously, when will you listen? Did Wing enjoy his birthday though? I actually still want to go, perhaps an NJ location, just to try out the bad food. Aburiya. That’s where you should. You’d like it. The food. Probably not the price though. Haha. Tiff, go to MASA or morimoto! Lol.
softrice said
For the circus, you should try Le Cirque.
softrice said
Why’d you go if you have so many sources telling you that it’s not clean?
Ajisen. Good, delicious, yummy Japanese food by Chinese people in Chinatown. Relatively cheap too. Their Jap fried rice is so good. American Dream roll too. Ah, I’m hungry!
softrice said
Hey, White Rabbit is cute:
http://www.whiterabbitnyc.com/enter.html
We should come here and grab a drink.
eggrolls said
hey beeee-otch! are you ready for your interview tomorrow? i know you’ll do well. and i’m sooooo excited for our little lunch gathering. haven’t eaten upstairs since i first started with Liz. we ate up there for the first week, then we moved downstairs to the kitchen on our floor. then we moved to our desks because we both thought we werne’t allowed to eat at our cubicle and surf the web.
i hope you get the job because i have this doubtful feeling that i won’t get hired elsewhere. so what will suck is me using up all my vacation days to find a new job and not get one… at which i will then try to move into a different dept. and if you’re here, it will make things better.
but i will “chat” some more about your current dining experience and write warm n’ fuzzy stuff on Mr. Softie’s page, after i get done with all my work. today i have a lot of trades to do. but i’ll be done before 12 fo’ shur
DarKGrieveR said
haha nice review….This source lol gj on that….and mmmm boy do you spend a lot of time writing each thing for your review, but it’s nice that you do. Gives a really in depth review gj Tiff lol
eggrolls said
HAHA, when you complain, you sound like me about every little detail about why i don’t like a certain food. wow, i would never pay $36/person for food. that’s ridiculous. if my parents saw/read/heard about this, they’d take all your money from you and invest it, or at least put it in the bank. but i when i spend money on stuff, it’s not necessarily “junk” like stuffed animals, dolls, cheap furniture, or foods regarless of it’s quality and type of restaurant it is. yet my parents dont approve so my dad charges me with “bills” like paying for my portion of the cell phone bill, car insurance (my 2 brothers don’t pay for theirs, but my dad hates me and likes to pick on me), etc. yet my older brother spends most of his money on junk, like useless shit that just sits around in the house. but my dad picks on me because i have friends and i go out often with them. my dad can’t pick on my little brother because he only comes home to shower and sleep. but my older brother is usually home all day, if not at work. basically, my dad can’t take the fun out of my older brother but he can take the fun out of me. that no-good bastard.
how unfair. my mom makes lunch for my brothers but when i ask my mom to make me lunch or buy me a certain cereal or whatever, my dad calls me spoiled. i dont get it.
eggrolls said
i never done this shin-dig before, nor would i want to spend the $$ to do so.
my dad IS sexist. my mom just automatically makes food for my brothers because she knows that they “dont know how” probably because they are boys. but i dont know. maybe my dad is jealous that my mom doesn’t ever punish me directly. if she’s mad, she’ll tell my dad to yell at me, but that’s not often that my mom gets mad at me. but i’ll tell you the reason, if i haven’t another time. it’s too tragic to reveal to everyone.
pretty much my dad is fining these little faults so that he can yell at me because he’s got nothing better to do.
ok, new blog when i’m done with work because i got a lot of trades
softrice said
How come you don’t come flood my blog with comments? I’m jealous! You save others and don’t come for me! There’s hibachi in Manhattan too, you know? Why’d you go all the way to Brooklyn? There’s a cafe around here that does hibachi by the pound too, though I haven’t tried it. It’s like noodles with beef. Hot pot except it’s on a frying pan.
eggrolls said
i’m done with my work. i didn’t see Tim around, but then again i didnt go to 10 or 11 for lunch. Tim is graduating from Princeton. I think he can do a lot better than LA, no offense to you. I think you can do better than LA also because you have nice stuff on your resume that you can bullshit about.
i wish it wouldn’t rain tomorrow. that probably means the cafeteria is going to be packed. with with Alisha’s know-how i’m sure we’ll find a spot.
I forgot what else i wanted to say because a recruiter just contacted me. he’s a cool guy. i originally didn’t contact him for help again because he was the one who told me that if Marketing isn’t want, than LA is a big mistake. and of course he did tell me so. but he was cool about it. but he isn’t sure whether or not he can help me out because LA is a big client of his recruiting firm and that might make them look bad. but who knows.
haven’t heard any more opportunities for interviews just yet. you kow waht… after i gave you my job description, i was able to wing what to say to recruiters about my job function. originally when they asked me, i said mostly data entry (which of course was a big mistake). but thanks to Yu YU YU, i said something better.
can’t wait to see you tomorrow.you’re a superstar
today wasn’t such a boring day since i had a lot of stuff to do. and i’m all hyped
softrice said
Your comments, no matter how long, do not last me from 8am to 3pm. I need constant bouncing back and forth. Flood me like by the minute! Lol. White Rabbit? White Rabbit! Let’s go grab a drink there. I’m hyped up for that place now. Sure thing?
Youngun’s? Who you got working undercover for you? I’d say cheaper places, like PT212, which we should go too, Mars 2112, highline, Fatty Crab, Max Brenner, and such?
softrice said
You didn’t like the cute little rabbit eating up the carrot? Want to grab a drink there anyway? I want pictures of the place and say that I’ve been there? Don’t like the site, but how about the place? Do you wanna go? Can we go? I’m not taking a pic of Jade’s calendar for you. Come pick it up. I got a pornographic wallet, and I’m using it now. I saw Pocky’s Chocolate for Men at the Viet sandwich shop too. Sigh. Lolz.
softrice said
Go to Kyotofu or Peking Duck House with your girls and crew and snap up mad shots for me to see. Do more reviews too! Haha. Oh yeah, for youngun’s, shouldn’t they try out Jacques Torres, Serendipity 3, Moonstruck, and those kind of places?
softrice said
You see how fast I do comments? That’s how fast you should flood mine. Yo, so planning on marrying that dog of yours already and no rocking at 40? That’s such a waste. You’re only asking your dog to go find a mistress when you’re all saggy and out at 40. Need more rocking, yo! So, who’s this spy of yours? Go NINJA!!
eggrolls said
Alisha just looked up from her cubicle and said to me “Tiffany is definitely coming right?” and she was all excited, and i said “yeah mon” like the way bob marley said it… just kidding about bob.
hey fobs like expensive stuff for a cheap low price. they wear chanel, burberry, etc and i bet half of their stuff is bootleg. they like fancy stuff. you and softie fall into this category.
what you’re referring to are the asian city kids, ghetto and maybe a bit poor, and would only get cheap stuff.
to play beerpong is simple. you have cups lined up on both ends of the table filled with beer, and a cup of water on each side so when the ball drops to the floor, you drop the ball in there to clean it.. thats what the water is for. and to play, you just shoot the ball into the cup on the opposite end, if you make it, that person drinks that beer. if you miss, the person on the other side will try to get it in your cup. keep doing that until all the cups on the opposite end are gone and you win. see, not exciting.
normal days, i get under 50 trades, so thats why i finish before 12. liz and moushumi usually have 100+ trades every day.
and you dont read thoroughly do ya? i wasn’t up all night because of the ruckus because there was no ruckus. i was just thinking about how bad it could be to go up to a PATH personel to give me a new card and how long it would take for them to determine how many trips i have in my card and how long it would take and whether or not i’d miss my train and how long i’d have to wait for the next train, etc.
during lunch break, i figured a PATH personel would be there but there was no one there, so i picked up the PATH phone but it was busy. WTF. that means i’d have to go after work when it’s all hectic at rush hour.
softrice said
Why are you interviewing for this job? So, shit, where do young people chill nowadays? I feel so old. Sniff sniff. What to do? Don’t they just hit up Johnny Rocket’s? Love that place. LOVE!!! We need to go to a cool young spot. Got some in mind? I actually don’t know East Village or LES that well, but I got MePa down all good. Chinatown is cool, Little Italy is almost extinct, I’m okay with West Village, and the UES I think I know enough. UWS I don’t know that well. How about some restaurants there then? I’m avoiding Harlem, yes. Lol.
softrice said
Who is Kevin? Ohhh, I remember, Sea Thai Bistro! That’s cheap and hip. We should go try it. I’m not young. Why come to me? I’m not even cool. Sigh. I’m just another regular old fart. You and eggroll come to my site. That’s it. Haha. Update Spirit! I want to read. But flooding me is better.
softrice said
You should do TVB reviews. That’s what you should do.
softrice said
We should go to “Tailor” when that finally opens, by Sam Mason.
eggrolls said
yo, this softrice dude is trying to persuade me to waste money on unneccesary foods…
yay 5pm!
p.s. kevin looked at me again from out his little window. it’s always strange
lunch tomorrow! yay, lets see what’s on the menu.
gross, there’s nothing good to eat upstairs tomorrow. hmm… wanna order? shall we order for you? alisha agrees that upstairs isn’t that great.
softrice said
I don’t think you should work there. Interview is a waste of time. And just how much does Vicky make? She’s full time, shouldn’t she be making more than me? I don’t convince people to waste money on what they don’t want. I can corrupt her though. But that’s your job. She needs to look high class for you!
My blazer is old news. I’m dreaming about the Theory silk one now. I have to kill my debt. Hire a financial assasin for me now! In other words, pay off all my credit cards! Where to next should we go? Piola? L’asso?
Go to Bloomingdale’s and shop for a blazer for yourself.
eggrolls said
WHAT?!?!? Aldo’s shoes cost more than what i make yearly??? i’m sooooo jealous. well i’ve been jealous of all my boys before Mr. Softie.
not to sound like kim, but lunch was super fun. me and Alisha loved and savoured that moment. ahh, good memories. i’m sooooo full, even though it was bland because there was crap upstairs!!!
i was just over by erin’s desk, and darius looked at me, and said “victoria, you had lunch? with tiffany?” aww, he misses you tooo.
your job that you interviewed for sounds like they should pay you at least 50k. that is why i want out of here soo bad because all my boys make 55+
eggrolls said
i think darius might’ve saw you upstairs getting food, but then again Erin could’ve told darius as well. Darius even saw me upstairs and asked me what was on my dish and if it was any good.
Erin is sort of cranky today because she didn’t know what to get for lunch because Rodney, the cook isnt’ upstairs and there was nothing good up there anyway. and it was raining so she didn’t want to go out. so when you saw her in the hall, she was going out for a cig.
phew, good thing you didn’t tell them about me trying to find a new job -otherwise i’d be in big “trouble” when word get around. words just slip right out of Moushumi’s mouth and occassionaly from Alisha as well, but more from Moushumi.
I dont know what Alisha is talking about, about me eating. i dont eat every day. unless you call cereal a lunch meal. my mom bought me cereal that i like. so if it was a normal day, i’d just eat cereal.
work still sucks, but i think Alisha has helped him open up a bit more. and he talks to her occassionally. but i think today you and alisha both opened up his social skills a lot more. tiffers, you’re so crazy. did you try the milk/soda shit? eww. he’s still gross though. not as annoying but gross with his sneezing.
eggrolls said
my parents, especially my mom is more easy going now than when i was growing up. it’s the reverse for my dad. he used to be easy going when we were young, but now he’s just a prick. and yes, i did rebel, but now that i’m out of college and my mom has been so good to me, i feel guilty about getting another piercing.
my little bro is more rebellious though because he doesn’t care what my parents think or say. he doesn’t care if my parents make fun of him, etc. i do care because when my parents call be a bitch in chinese, i get really really mad. they used to call me that a lot when i was little. and my rebellion is not eating. they call me a bitch or they call me fat, i will not eat and that actually works. then my mom will beg for my forgiveness, well not beg but she’d have to be super nice and try to bribe me with $ and other stuff just to get me to eat again.
yes, my parents do the bribing thing too.
p.s. you cant use the old case for your new camera???
Mr. Softie is really boring today. i’m bored
softrice said
This is why I never get my thesis done! You have to do my papers before I fail! How can I make new posts when I’ve not been anywhere? I might go somewhere tonight, but no definite yet. Why don’t you make a new post?
softrice said
What is this about the cost of my shoes? So like why don’t you make a new post on what’s good to eat at the cafetaria at LA?
softrice said
Attention whores? What are you talking about? How am I reciprocating to eggroll and not you? You need to shower me with all your attention. Are you at work? Of course I’m at work, how else can I make enough money to fling away? Lol. Where is our next destination?
softrice said
You need to teach me that how to view blocked sites then. I can’t constantly make new posts because I’m not paid to do so. And I need money to go out and eat. You should at least finance my outings so that I’d have more to write about.
eggrolls said
i tried the google thing… doesn’t work.
and i’ll help moushumi when she asks for help. plus i dont want to call these people up to ask for their info. that would totally ruin my good mood. plus i’m super excited about tonite, sort of…
yes, i love receiving the attention that my parents never gave me when i was little. i love boy attention, even if its freaky kevin looking out his window…
eggrolls said
no hunny bunches, you’re strange. Phil will agree, that you are wierd!
eggrolls said
p.s. i’m totally hooked to this that i dont even want to read manga anymore, but RICECAKES is tasting really bland right now… [hint]
p.s. though i’m into death note, it’s not as amazing as bleach or naruto
softrice said
What rice cakes? All this rice. Yo, you even commented in an old post. Yo, you changed your layout too. Haha. This is good. Comments are easier to find. Why Xe Lua tonight? It sucks. Go somewhere else. Yo, you’re going to play tonight, but didn’t invite me? Da heck. Lol. Go to Lombardi’s. Or L’asso. Peking Duck House! Food, reviews!!!
softrice said
I might go to Max Brenner tonight. Will not do a review until late this month because I should do my thesis. Watch me write a review by tomorrow anyway. Your Pace/Columbia newbie can take a dive in the Hudson, okay? Losah! Lol. Will see Happily Never After, and then might club at The Park. Yo! We need to hit up Guest House and the Pink Elephant. Heard mad slutty girls chill at GH, and old ugly bankers hunt there. Lol.
softrice said
You intentionally go to places that I say suck? Tsk! Shesh. My fave Viet place? Wow. I really can’t say. It used to be the one near OTB, but it’s shut down now. Sad. I have good mememories at the one on Mulberry. But their food ain’t all that either. Hmmm … HEY! Go to Mai House or Bao 111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m serious!!! Instead of Xe Lua, go to one of these places instead. Kk?
softrice said
Why are you not with me tonight? And how did interview go? Work at other places.
softrice said
Why would anyone search Amazing 66? Anyway, congrats on your stranger. Guest House ain’t exclusive. We can go. Easy access. I’m sure of it. BED is next to it, or on the same dang street. Yeah, we can do it. Park, Park, Park! Tonight! Lol.
Check Mai House link on my site. It’s in Tribeca. Yo, recent raves around it. Go. Nearby. Good. Go. I want reviews. Bao 111 is somewhere. East Village, I think? Find the link on Menupages. It’s on my Lp list not found online. Should be a nice romantic place.
Who’s your dai lo craving for Viet? Haha. Go try Paris Sandwich, if they’re still open. I really don’t know the difference of Viet restaurants in Chinatown. All suck now. I encourage you to do my thesis.
What’s your position and salary?
softrice said
I’ve never been to Max.
eggrolls said
i think Mr. Ricecakes is a hypocrite. i tell him that Planet Hollywood sucks yet he still wants to go. there tiffers, i stuck up for you.
alisha says she has dandruff. gross. i wonder if any fell on my food.
and did i mention that i love that lady cashier in the cafeteria. she’s so sweet.
yes i like this thing better. the comments link is so much easier to find. please tell Ricecakes to fix his page too because i have a hard time finding that comment link every single time. in fact the first few times i visited his page, i thought he didn’t have a comments link. sheesh.
jesus – pronounced “hey-zeus”
comprendes?
eggrolls said
i actually wasn’t planning on going out tonite, but how can i not want to see my kids?
and no i didn’t bring my camera and since when do i ever remember to bring my camera?
wow, people are already there before 5pm. French Clay called me at the place at 5pm and asked if i was going.
all the UBS people got out at like 4:30 and are already there. and then there’s me…
softrice said
What? No new entry? Where’s my viet food entry? Lol. Yes, I do want to go to Planet Hollywood even though eggroll says it sucks. Because I do want to go, and she can’t change my mind. Sucks to be her, doesn’t it? Yo, AMMOS!!! We should go just to get rid of it off our list. We’ve been wanting to go since forever. And eggroll will never go to dinner with us, because there’s no way she’s not spending over $50 with us. Haha.
eggrolls said
i’m supposed to study for GMATs all day today. i’m taking a break, i guess…
so at lunch yesterday, you and Moushumi were talking about Ann Taylor… Moushumi dresses like an old woman (no offense), so yes, Ann Taylor IS DEFINITELY AN OLD LADY STORE. case closed.
and i totally thought you were serious about trying Mr. Monkey Face’s recipes. you seriously fooled me.
i hate Amir’s friend, Seattle Dave. can’t believe Amir makes up wierd stuff about me. oh well, seattle dave can just stay in seattle for all i care.
so at the bar, people know of you, Yu. Except your name is “the crazy girl.” i keep telling them your name is tiffany, but they insist it’s “the crazy girl.” and they asked why you didn’t come. we were at 50st/2ave for most of the night. you should’ve came.
p.s. tell softroll that it does suck to be me.
Confused said
why is it that you cant tell the difference between a cucumber and zukini? learn your foods before posting anything. and dont mai tai’s usually have triplesec/rum/pinapple/orange juice/splash of sour mix??? maybe i know cause im not an idiot but maybe thats just me lol. and looking at the grill for being a restaurant that opened 15 years ago… i think those are actually top notch grills. oh and it is a FAMILY restaurant… thus the fun and kids…the soup… no msg in it but ill agree not great but then again… the steak dinner is only 22$ comes with white rice/house soup/icecream… so how could you expect so much when paying so little. most restaurants charge EXTRA for all that crap. at least arirang gave you an option for house included items. no one said to be cheap and not step it up. and being a big time sushi eater i know that less rice = better. you dont want to much or else your basically spending & or more on a roll and basically getting served & or more worth of rice…. lol or did you not realize that would be a rip off. your beansprouts were given to you im sure, being that they are the last item to be made so that they can catch the flavor on the grill. i know some of this being that ive been to the place, and im a restaurant manager at nobu. but have fun with your nonsence reviews… good times.
