❗️Racist server warning❗️ The food was delicious, but the service that me and my mum were given was absolutely poor from the yellow hair server.

We've ordered two Udon with Tempura. Once we're trying to Tempura, we've noticed that we did not get the soy sauce which the Japanese couple beside us had with their Tempura. I kindly asked yellow hair server to bring us soy sauce since it seems like everyone has with their Tempura. But the answer from the server was absolutely joke. She said "You can deep your Tempura into salt there". And I said "I don't want salt, could you please bring us soy sauce?". Next thing she said made other Japanese in the restaurant look at us because it's ridiculous. She said "Tempura with salt is best way to eat, not with soy sauce." And I've realised that she doesn't want to bring the soy sauce for us, and I instantly noticed that it's racism. Because she was kind to other foreigner customers who are from America. After this long conversation, she finally brought soy sauce bottle, but not with small plate to pour. At this point, we just gave up and just wanted to pay and go. We thought we're just unlucky. Until then I spoke Japanese, but since she doesn't treat us same as the other customer I did not want to try to speak Japanese at all. When I asked the server to give me a bill, I asked her if she can speak English, she said 'NO'. Even though she just spoke to American customers and I heard.

This short experience has changed my mind toward Japan. If you're Korean or Asian who are not Japanese, please mind that they may treat you as not same as the other customers which might ruin your traveling. I highly recommend to have a look another restaurant. You deserve to have good service, not from the racist.
