11/17/24 7:15pm. Your female cashier seemed to be so preoccupied by every move the male cashier was making that she couldn't recall the fact that I checked in with her for the ONLY DELIVERY ORDER waiting for pickup. And the thing is i seen her look over at me when she bagged the order and set it to the side. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and hoped she wasn't gonna be about that insecure chick vibe she was beaming. That it must have been someone else's order. BUT 10 mins past the eta pickup, she appeared to be physically repeled by my approach to the counter, avoiding eye contact, it became pretty clear she was gonna be THAT chick. So i read the tag on the order on the table as she ignored me and there it was the exact customer name i checked in for. I abruptly interupted her and pointed out that this is the order that I had been waiting for. She pulled that "i can't recall" you checking in bs followed by a nonchalant "my bad." I've dealt with insecure chicks all my life and find it hilarious I still intimdate the insecure but attitudes like that will attract the wrong energy that I'm sure the owner is not trying to have in their place of business. Every other worker has always been courtesy, attentive, and respectful.

Tonight was everything that I hope to never...

Very disappointed with how the quantity has gone down. I used to love coming here but I am writing the review as I sit in the restaurant with my wife.

The food “presentation” if you want to call it that is sad. Plain white rice with a pathetic amount of shredded lettuce under the meat. And the amount of meat they give you for the #1 combo is just sad.

If you are paying $20 for a plate of food it should at least have a good amount OR be of good quality. Of which this is none. Definitely the last time I’ll come to this location again.

My wife suspects her chicken katsu is heated in the microwave based on its taste.

Also they are playing music off the “easy listening” channel on the tv and it doesn’t really feel like the correct type of music for this place.

Edit: also for forgot to add they have little plastic cups they give you the sauce in and they only fill them up like 30% full so you need a bunch to...
