Shanghai Osaka Restaurant — Restaurant in Nashua

Can not believe this... - I had been there before, the food was decent, so maybe that qualifies as 1 star.

Today, Tuesday night 08/16/2016 went there around 7:15pm planning to have dinner there. Did not see anybody there to sit me, waited for a few minutes, then a lady I saw earlier came ask "one person?" after confirming, she tries to lead me to a seat, at this time, I realized that she was the lady who saw me coming in and saw me waiting the whole time, but chose not to do anything about it. I said, "sorry, you know what, I am going to skip today, I have been standing here waiting for how many minutes? and nobody came...." - And can you imagine what she said? "2 minutes, cause I was standing there and I saw you coming in..."

I am out of words... I am not sure she realized that she was admitting that she was KNOWINGLY IGNORING me as a guest. I am not sure I could find other statements from a restaurant staff more straight to mean "you are not welcome here"

But anyway, I believe she is the manager tonight - I have met the owner an Asian lady before, and she was decent - but before they change this manager - I am not going there anymore. -Not worth the insult..

Also, BTW, her watch seems to be off quite a bit. - I waited there for some minutes and the decided to take out my phone and bring up pokemon games - and I caught 2 pokemons before she came! - that usually would take me 5 minutes! - And for pokemon players - not worth going there to catch them either - just simple types like tweedles rattata that you can...

Service was very good, the restaurant was nice; the problem…sushi rice had no flavor, none. I’ve had sushi all over the country and Japan, I have even taken a class on making Sushi rolls for fun, I have never experienced this before. If you love sushi you know the rice has a distinct vinegar flavor, it enhances the fish and the reason for sushi over sashimi. I told the waitress because it was really bad rice (maybe someone new tried making it today?) and someone who might be the owner/manager came over and said they tasted the rice and it was fine. So this was not a mistake, this is how they make the rice, like instant rice in the microwave. So if you like sashimi you’ll have no issues, the fish was fine and the same price, so at no time did I ask for anything (they offered to add more vinegar but I was fine having it as sashimi and I was fine paying full price). You’ll see in my picture I just piled the rice in the corner, sorry I didn’t include a picture of the fish, but it was good. They also have Chinese food (New England thing, all Asian food at the same restaurant), didn’t try any Chinese cuisine so it might be excellent…just don’t come...

Horrible service on a Friday night, went to grab some appetizers and drinks and the server was very inattentive talking to a customer as we were standing trying to be seated, the customer whom the server was speaking to then had to say " why don't you take care of them first " . We also had outside seating and at our table after being seated and wiped down once and chairs weren't wiped down, we sat for about 4 minutes to have 3 spiders next to us on the railing and one spider flying down from the roof of the cover for the tables where we are supposed to stay 6ft.... Male server who was working this night went over to the other side to take care of others tables but also took orders from the people who came after us which were seated AFTER we were and as we were stood up hoping to be seated or asked what's wrong the waiter gave us a rude look..Very disappointed that this sever did not try to accommodate us to another table, and try to solve the solution as we were visiting Nashua, we are one hour away from here and visit often but we will not be back here with this type...
