Otani Hudson — Restaurant in Hudson

If you have allergies, this is not the place to come unless you love Sushimi. They have amazing sashimi here. I was quite impressed by it. Peggy, our server was amazing. She had a good sense of humor and was fun. We came for the hibachi meal where they cook in front of you. I was there with a large group that filled the entire table. I was very disappointed with the cook. The whole reason you go and do hibachi is for the show. Well, there basically was no show. Yes he did the flaming volcano in the onion and that's about it. No knives being bounced around no shrimp being tossed into peoples mouths nothing. When one of the other guests said something about the shrimp being tossed into the mouth and not having done it the cooks said I'm too old for that. Extremely disappointing. I've been to many other hibachi's. Typically they serve you hot tea with the meal and some type of ice cream dessert, and a fortune cookie. This hibachi does not do that. You just get the meal. Lastly, when we first walked in to this restaurant, there was a smell of sewage that overcomes you. It's very unappealing. They need to figure out why that is. If I was basing my review, only on sashimi, it would be five stars. If I'm basing it only on hibachi it would be two stars. If I'm basing it on the smell, I smelled when I first walked into the restaurant it would be one star. Thank goodness they...

Teppanyaki (Hibachi) this evening...

First - staff starts exceptionally friendly - but by the end - you would need Buddha himself to get a refill...

Second - the location and interior are nice. The sushi looked pretty good.

So... soup (Miso or mush/onions ) both were so salty - NO ONE in a party of 9 touched it. Salad - unappealing - iceberg with some sort of ginger sweet cream dressing... No one ate much.

Fried rice is a 2 dollar up-charge regardless of your meal.

Prices are MUCH higher than any other I've been too... From 17 for chicken, to 29.50 for fillet w/o fried rice. And then the seafood - I'd highly suggest you avoid seafood - as they like to cook it all to dealth... Nothing worse (and this is not unique to this place)...

So. overall - I'm unlikely to return. We didn't look at prices before we went - so that's on us - but the VALUE for the money - NOT EVEN CLOSE. From the cheapest to the most expensive - its basically a SODIUM laden meal - I'm 1/2 gallon into a gallon water jug 4 hours later...

Not...

I am honestly very disappointed as my boyfriend and I love coming here for date nights. But tonight was the worst service I have ever experienced. I got seated right away, however it took my waiter 25 minutes to come to our table. The hostess had to come give us drinks because our waiter, instead of serving other customers, spent her time chit chatting with another table and mostly spent her time at that table. The hostess eventually had to come take our order because our waiter was “too busy” talking. So at this point, after a half hour, we get our order taken. It takes them 20 minutes to get me a wonton soup and when they do bring it out the soup was nice and hot but the wonton itself was FROZEN on the inside. Keep in mind at this point there are 5 tables including us being served in the entire restaurant. I walked in at 6:45 and it’s been an hour and an half and I still haven’t gotten my food. Again I loved coming here but this not going to be a spot for me and my boyfriend to...
