Customer Reviews

"Nom mom nom"

- Glen W.

"Food was amazing, and every time you order they'd switch out the plate, refilled drinks and rice bowls. My only reason for 3/5 stars is because our waitress demanded a tip on the check, and we were planning to give her a great cash tip. We told her that, she nodded and left with a smile. We were fine, but she came back to us AGAIN for us to tip on the check. I feel conflicted because the service was great, but we shouldn't be harassed for a tip even after explaining that we're giving cash. (Table beside us were also harassed by her for a tip.) On our way out, she followed after us for the tip on the check again. We were clearly upset, and I was uncomfortable. My husband had to explain to her that it was disrespectful for her to demand a tip."
