Roaming Ronin — Restaurant in Corpus Christi

We made reservations for 14 of us this evening. We arrived and were seated immediately. Part of our party was already there and seated when we arrived. They had ordered 2 beers and 2 waters, the waters werent served until we asked 3 times for the water. After all of the orders were taken, none of the menus were ever removed from the table nor were any of the dishes from our appetizers. Our food came out sporadically 45 minutes apart. 3 of us ordered the same dish, after we had been there for 1.5 hours I was informed that they had run out of slices beef and they were unable to fill that order. Leaving 1 of 14 without any food. Never did the manager come out to check on us. I asked to see the manager, the waitress went to get him and returned to the table stating " he says I can speak for him". Just wow! A table of 14 people, they ran out of food and the manager cannot be bothered. There has been our table plus 2 more tables of 2 people each, so the staff was not overwhelmed. When we asked the waitress to make sure to remove the 3rd beef dish from the ticket since we didn't receive it, her response was snippy and short. Considering we spent nearly $300.00 you would think she would have at least let us know early on in the meal that they couldn't fill the order instead of waiting until everyone else had eaten and then announce that the order couldn't be satisfied. Again, never saw a manager. So disappointed. On a positive note, the suicide edamame was...

We used to really like this place. The last time the wait for food was LONG, but it was good. This time, I wanted to walk out but my husband decided we should stay. Here are the issues:

The guy making the sushi honestly was grossing me out. I watched him handling a pen and paper while writing something, then stopping to drink from a cup and then going back to handle the raw fish, all without ever cleaning his hands. He had long curly hair hanging all over his face, which just made me think for sure you’re going to find that in your sushi. He also moved truly at a crazy slow pace, which is why the wait for food was so long.

When our 3 sushi rolls finally arrived, the sushi rolls with rice were falling apart before we could even eat them. They were loosely rolled, the rice was mushy, and there was tons of rice in them. It was really bad, y’all. And they used to be really good.

Service was ok. The one waitress was doing what she could. She was by herself and not was packed.

Our bill was almost $80 for 3 rolls and an appetizer. No drinks only water. Based on how long it took to get our food, the unsanitary handling of food by the guy making sushi, and the mushy rice and sushi falling apart, we won’t be back. Super sad because it used to be...

I don’t know who was in the kitchen when my husband and I ordered dinner through Uber - but it was very, very questionable upon arrival. We won’t be ordering again, or visiting in person - which is a shame as I was hoping this would be good food Corpus is so desperately in need of.

We ordered sauces, and were charged, that did not arrive. The edamame was odd looking, but when I tasted it was very OBVIOUSLY old, out of date and should not have been served. The vegetarian roll ordered was the most edible thing - and even with that I could tell the rice was wrong, hopefully just old and not reused. His dish had food squished in between the plastic lid and container that was not his dish - multiple contains had fingerprints outlined in grease and food particles (we hope). The beef dish I ordered (Tokyo?) was so greasy and poorly made, I attempted to eat it - but after the 3rd questionable crunch of beef - the first two had to be ligaments 😬- my stomach because unwell and nauseous.

I am now spending the near foreseeable future sick - very disappointing for a Friday date night; and waiting to see if Uber will refund the wasted money. Sadly since we ordered with them, it...
