DAWOK - sushi bar*restaurant — Restaurant in okres Karlovy Vary

To whom this is being read by, I would start off with the atmosphere. The atmosphere was very okay, it was surprising to see running sushi available here, and it was nice to see the decor. I was though wondering about the thought process for the toilets. The toilets had a sort of medieval kind of vibe, which was clashing a lot with the rest of the atmosphere. Also there was a lot of noise, mainly from the kitchen and a bit from the cuatomers. There was some loud unexplained rattling from the kitchen that I could not really understand properly...

The service was a bit better, though. The waittress could speak perfect Czech, though from some other reviews I could not deduce if she spoke English as well. Though when we got typical western silver ware, and asked for chop sticks instead, we had to wait an uncomfortable amount of time to get them. I suspect that she was doing something else that took up the time, which I kind of respect, though she did not apologize for that and did not give us an explanation.

The food was on another level, though. I got the fried gyoza, dumplings with shrimp and dumplings with chicken inside. The gyoza in my opinion were delicious as an appetizer, though a bit too oily. The shrimp dumpligs were in my opinion the tastiest out of them all, though I would add more spices to them, since it was a bit bland, even with the soy sauce. And the dumplings with chicken were fantastic, just if there were more spices and salt, I would be in...

So, Dawok. Last time we've been to this place we had hair in our food and the food itself was kinda bland. After few months we wanted to try again, reserving table for two for running sushi. When we arrived, a couple was leaving the belt with sushi and there was no one else sitting around it. It took at least 20 minutes for the half empty belt to fill up with new items, mostly sweets like candy or cookies (all store bought), which I don't mind between the bites, but we were kinda hungry and not really interested in junk food. After another 15 minutes of literally eating just to empty the plates to get some actual food, we got few plates of shrimp in sauce, some fried shrimp, chicken nuggets, scallops and sushi... And that was it. There was no variety in the food, I guess because we were the only people there and the cooks couldn't be bothered? The waitress brought us beverages and stopped by only to clean up the empty plates. All this left us disappointed, because that wasn't what we had in mind for 439,-/person. In that case would be a lot better to pick something from the menu and not to wait for items we never got. No idea if we will be...

We used to go to this place from time to time, but a couple of weeks ago there happened one absolutely disgusting situation and after this one we won’t go there anymore. We are vegetarians and that time ordered two different dishes: fried noodles with tofu and Pad Thai without chicken. I gotta say that it wasn’t for the first time when I ordered Pad Thai without meat and they cooked it without any problems. But this time I found a piece of chicken on my plate while eating. We asked the waitress to replace the dish and a couple of minutes after she came back with the words: “The cook DOES NOT WANT TO COOK IT ONE MORE TIME.” We asked to invite the owner. I have to say that the owner is a really nice lady and she tried to fix this mess, but we found out the the cook was mistaken and cooked the noodles with chicken and after that JUST TOOK IT OUT. We refused from another portion and were told that this dish would be removed from the bill. When we came to the cash desk to pay for the second dish, the cook appeared and started yelling at his wife (the owner) right in front of us and other guests. It...
