1. Staff was rude.
2. Never got checked on compared to other tables.
3. They have a sign stating that tipping is a MUST. My girlfriend ordered a coke by itself and they DEMANDED a tip. The waitress (who ignored us all night beforehand) said that if we did not tip for the can of coke they would make our order to go? We had already tipped on our order and just wanted a single coke on the side separately. All it takes is to open a fridge and take out a can and that's it. It's not like we asked the waitress to change the formula of the coke. Silly waitress, L restaurant. Tokyo fast food on Brockton ave (a few streets down) is way better. If you want a place that begs you for a tip and gives you inadequate service, then come here!
I was not going to tip again just for a passive-aggressive staffer to transport a can of Coke from their fridge to my table that is right outside their BOH. I tried not tipping at all. Unbeknownst to me, the "waitress" (they don't take your order or check up on you while you eat) was watching me from behind, then interjected with a "I don't recommend you do that. I will have to make your order to go." I was baffled. I told her I already tipped for our actual bigger order. The Coke was just an after thought; a completely separate $3.86 check. I fought it. She begrudgingly backed down. She brought me a Coke with no separate cup for ice while my partner received an ice cup with his drink. Food was much too average for the energy wasted on tip-begging. Anything else neighboring Izakaya beats it in flavor and service.
If you want to be badgered for a tip then come here.
They did change the space since I last came here, though. I prefer how it was before, more open. Like this is good for romantic dates or meetings because there’s privacy. I wish they had the servers come in and talk to you though instead of just ordering everything on a tablet.
Also, their hoji-cha pudding *chef’s kiss*
The yellow tail hand roll i order was about the size and shape of a big Tootsie roll.
The spider roll tastes as expected, but the roll was tiny. For the price it was not worth it.
Unsatisfied with the service/food and the sushi. Ordered one sushi for delivery with 3 sodas. They didn’t send one of them and the order arrived late despite paying extra for fast delivery. Also, didn’t care to provide chopsticks or any soy sauce. They charge for soy sauce and the sushi was awful. The smallest quantity sushi I have ever had especially at this price. Highly DONT recommend this place.
