MAKI SUSHI AND THAI RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Florida

My husband and I were excited to try La Rose, as it had many good reviews. When we arrived we were told that there was no Thai food until August, which is fine, I wanted sushi. I started eating sushi 35+ years ago, I love it and eat it often. We started with the scallops with ponzu sauce. Three came served in the shells. It had diced tuna, masugo, onions, minced jalapenos, spicy chili sauce and ponzo on top. It was good but the scallops were cut up and it was so spicy, my husband couldn't eat it. Next my husband got a dragon roll. The first 3 pieces had soft shell crab and the last 5 had none. I ordered 3 hand rolls, eel, salmon and hamachi. The salmon and hamachi had lots of fish but it had NO flavor. I guess it must have to do with the (lack of) quality of the product. The eel roll had, what the chef said was cucumber but it was pale yellow and slimmy, very off-putting. Also the eel roll and my husband's dragon roll both had what they call 'eel sauce' but I've never had very sweet, watery eel sauce before...not good. I really was wanting to love this place but we will not return. We were the only ones in the restaurant at 7:45 on a Wednesday so maybe that...

Asian Spice Bistro WAS wonderful. It now has new ownership. This formerly great 5 star little Thai and Sushi Bistro has reverted to a one star take out joint. They are short staffed, the table service is non existent and with one sushi chef they are trying to fill call in take out orders , a sushi bar , an outdoor patio and indoor dining room clientele at the same time This is sheer stupidity. The new owners are using the worn “ Soft Opening “ excuse for their screwups. A specious attempt to coverup ineptitude and incompetence. A soft opening really means “ we aren’t really ready to serve customers for maybe 250 reasons but we are going to do it anyway “ Even then a soft opening should last for one day. These jokers have been having a soft opening for one week! To be fair I have no idea if the food is good or bad because after one hour and a half AFTER placing our order WITH THE OWNER the sushi chef had not even started on our order. We left. The owner was too busy on the phone to apologize. Bye Bye...

The service is terrible and not too friendly. The food has always been consistently good but this has changed since the soft opening recently. Paid $50 plus tip. The tuna was not good quality. Had to wait over an hour for the food. No apology. No greeting at the door. I witnessed two parties of 3 people walk away after waiting 5 minutes to be acknowledged.Also saw a table that had been already been seated walk away. In addition, they did not include the salad I ordered. My bad for not checking the bag before I left. Phone was ringing off the hook. There was simply no motivation to answer it. Sadly, that will be the last time I go there. Its a shame. Great location and the food is good if it ever gets served. Train your people before you run a good thing bankrupt. I truly wish this business Good luck. Jensen...
