Sushi Issei — Restaurant in Tokyo

“DONT STOP HERE !! Abuse of Tourism in the worst way possible!!! SHAME on this people!!! AVOID at all costs !!!” Visited this restaurant last night, thought it would be a great way start the evening. English like in almost every place in Tokyo is not there strength. Fist of all got the menu and started to see what we were going to order. In the meanwhile we ordered drinks for the 4 of us. The waitress went to bring the Red Wine bottle before she opened it. In the meanwhile we asked questions about the menu, as they tried to explain the plates we came to the conclusion that it wasnt what we where looking for this night. I asked her to cancel the order , but we would drink what we had ordered and then leave. To our surprise she did bring the drinks, only to give us the surprise that she charged the 750 Yens for each wine, and then a ghost charge for 3,500 yens more. I asked her what was this charge which she couldn't explain and then became nervous. There after even with the Google Translate translating my question she just nodded that she didn't understand. The restaurant was empty and know I see why !!. Never before in my life have I felt this frustration of someone stealing from me in my face.I wasn't going just to stand up and leave. Definitely the worst experience in all of my years of travelling and would definitely would have liked for someone to have told me thru feedback things like these that make a evening change from great to a disaster!!! Shame on the abusive people and hope to never experience something close to these. Its a...

This was the most serene, ethereal dining experience I’ve ever had the opportunity to partake in. Only downside is limited seating, when more people need to go here. First of all, the sushi had such immaculate texture and flavor. Unlike other places where you just order and eat, it’s each bite is catered with sauces, or salt in addition. The waitress was immensely kind and helpful, directing you how to eat each fish, what you should eat it with, and so on. She is very accommodating, wiping your white paper mat, clearing your area, and taking saucers. When directed to the bathroom, its cleanliness was refreshing, it was a sanctuary of relief. Moving onto the chef, he is the most humble man alive. Although some reviews mentioned him as grumpy, if you look past someone’s facial expressions, you can actually tell who they really are. And this man was so, so nice. The delicate slicing of the fish, the mastered movements of during frying and searing. When I went to the bathroom, he waited for me to come back to prepare my shrimp nigiri. And when all was said and done, they walked us out the door, and onto the street again thanking us. I’ve never felt so at home at a restaurant. If you can’t speak Japanese, please, please, use Google Translate to thank the chef for all his efforts. Please consider my comments, and...

I stepped inside right around 2 after verifying that lunch was supposedly served till 2:30. As soon as I entered, I saw one spot open toward the left corner of the counter. I came alone, so I thought there’d be no issues. Well, I was wrong. Almost immediately after I was asked by a waitress how many were in my party, the chef looked at me for a couple of seconds and sternly (and pretty loudly) told me “CLOSED!” Mind you, if the place was really closed for lunch, then the waitress would have delivered that message even before the chef announcing its closing in front of all the customers. The waitress seemed like she was going to find me a seat as soon as I told her I came by myself. I couldn’t help but to feel the vibe that the chef did not welcome me there for some odd reason. Gotta say, this had to be probably one of the most unpleasant experiences for...
