Sake — Restaurant in Lebanon

I've eaten a lot of sushi at many restaurants in many different parts of the U.S.. I am not picky, but I do know what sushi is sort of supposed to be like, generally. This is not good sushi. I ate here about a year ago and the raw tuna and salmon was discolored and tasted weird, so I decided not to eat here again. Whenever I see people eating their sushi, it always looks horribly suspicious. I can't believe people can stomach it. Today, a friend offered to buy me food from here, so I ordered an eel roll and fried rice (I wasn't looking for a bout of food poisoning), and the eel roll's sauce tasted like teriyaki sauce rather than eel sauce, which I don't like as much as typical eel sauce. It was also completely full of tons of little unchewable bones. It was weird because I've eaten a lot of eel sushi and I'm used to the bones either being removed, or being not so painful to swallow, difficult to chew, and annoying to pick out. Even chewing slowly, they just get stuck in your teeth or hurt to bite. It might be a matter of how many there were. The eel meat was on the inside of the roll, too, so I had to pull it apart to try to eat it, and it was so annoying. I ended up giving up. Again, I'm not a picky person, but I regret even trying to eat this. If I wanted to fiddle with bones I would've ordered a delicious fried fish from a different restaurant. Furthermore, the fried rice didn't have egg or vegetables or spices or anything, and it didn't have the texture or flavor that I'm accustomed to fried rice having. It reminded me of microwavable rice, but oily. Still, it was the only edible part of my dinner so I ate that. If you must eat here, the rice probably...

Price for the food is good and the server we had was nice. Not sure why the rating is as high as it is considering the food was trash. My rice tasted like cardboard and has no vegetables mixed in like fried rice usually does. My sushi I ordered the eel roll and the philadelphia roll, the eel roll had a lot of im not sure cartilage or something from the eel but it was like chewing on rubber and I had to spit out multiple pieces of it and it made me lose my appetite so I didn't finish either of my rolls. I told my server my issues and said I would be willing to pay for one roll considering I ate half of each roll. I tried to eat the eel as it was I really did I don't like to complain but the texture just made me sick man. She got the manager I assume? Some black haired older woman im not sure but I told her the same thing I told my server and she tried to argue with me! "Some people dont like eel based sushi because they get the part with the cartilage in it" all I ever get at sushi places is eel based sushi for the most part and I have NEVER had the rubbery part and for her to say that and argue with me was poor management. Im not sure why you would even use the part of the eel that has that in it in a sushi roll, guess they just dont care about quality. I told her that I had never had the rubber part in my experience and she didnt say anything and just walked away and gave us the bill and said I took the rice off and slapped the bill onto the table. So not a great experience and wont be coming back and really dont recommend...

First let me start by saying I've been eating here for years and years. It's one of my favorite places. The staff was always wonderful and the owner always took great care of us and if he didn't serve our table he always made sure we got great service no matter how busy they were. But the past 4 times I've ate there the service was terrible. It's always been the same server and she always has hickies on her neck which she's young and it happens but can be ignored but her terrible attitude is more unprofessional than the hickies. She jerks cups around to he point they spill. I asked for water for my 6 month old son and she got mad about it. I have been a server myself so I'm a very easy customer but she was terrible. Before getting our food there was 2 roaches Crawling the walls when I told the staff they got mad and I was just informing them because restraunts will be shut down over one roach but sometimes it's inevetable. They sent a terrified looking little girl to kill it and she couldn't even reach it. So we moved a table over and there was no one even around us. The server once again got angry and over charged us for our food on both checks. And acted offended that I asked nicely to fix it. I would no longer recommend...
