I can't believe it. I used to love coming here. It was the perfect quick lunch when I could only take a half-hour break, since I also work at the Friendly Center.

My standard order consisted of edamame and a Philadelphia roll. Sometimes I'd get cucumber salad, but most times just the two items.

One day I ordered the usual and the edamame came out awful. There was freezer burn all over the pods. I told a manager and she took it off my bill. I was grateful for that.

I went over today to grab my quick lunch and ordered, you guessed it, edamame and Philly roll. I specifically told the server, Chris, to please double check the edamame because last time it had freezer burn. If it did, I'd order something else. No prob.

A couple minutes later, he brings me the Philly roll. I was a little taken aback because I usually got the edamame FIRST and THEN the roll. I asked him about it and he said the roll was ready. (Maybe it was ready for someone else?) I'll have the edamame right out. This was not what I wanted but, oh well, I'll just go along.

The edamame comes out and as I'm eating, I see freezer burn on at least a quarter of the order.

The server comes over, "How's everything?"

I gestured to the plate with the offending edamame lined up like a shrimp platter. "Well, Chris, as you can see, the edamame has freezer burn on it."

"Yeah. I don't know much about this stuff." (Hasn't he eaten any of the fare? How would he know what to recommend?)

"You're a server in a restaurant and you don't about this 'stuff'? Wow."

"I'll show XXX." (I don't know the cook's name).

He comes out saying XXX put more in the microwave. (I didn't ASK him for more. I didn't WANT more.) He brings it out and sure enough, there was freezer burn on THAT batch too. I showed him where.

He said he'd bring the check. I was charged for the edamame. I said, "Yeah, you know. I'm not exactly thrilled with the fact you didn't take this off."

Here's Chris's response: "You ate most of it, the cook made you another batch, and I'm not authorized to take it off the bill." I was floored. I ATE MOST OF IT? I can assure you I did not. And didn't I pay for the ENTIRE order of it? Don't forget I asked beforehand TO CHECK FOR THE FREAKIN' FREEZER BURN!!! (For the record, I didn't send it back because I figured, I'll never order it again. And the cook takes it upon himself to make another batch. I'm supposed to be grateful?)

So, I'm writing this review because I'm disappointed in the food because, oh, I don't know, when I go out to eat, I'm hoping whatEVER I order doesn't have freezer burn.

I'm really disappointed in the server who 1. Gave me my Philly roll before the appetizer; 2. Didn't know about this stuff; and 3. Said, "You ate most of it."

To the manager: please hire servers who don't respond with, "I don't know much about this stuff."

I probably will not be going back to my used-to-be favorite sushi place because of this. Too bad.
