Sushi Mambo

Sushi Mambo is probably one of the most innovative ideas in fusion food, so before even going I was excited.. My excitement completely deflated when the waitress asked me the time of my reservation, began to seat my party, but when I tell her that my reservation was with a Groupon she immediately stops on the way to the table has us wait by the door for 5minutes and then tells us theres no reservation with that name.. what?!

80$ Groupon prepaid and we have to come out of pocket, not happy but we continued our evening.. the soft spoken, voiceless waitress finely came to the table after we sat for 10minutes, but not to take our order.. To tell us that we have to move, because a party of like 10 are coming.. (now I see why my Groupon was rejected), so we moved no harm no foul.. but what made matters worse, was the young lady decided that because the entire party was a friend of the family that she'd take their order before ours.. As shes taking there order she allows the party to continue to add tables to the existing table squeezing myself and my girlfriend into the most confined space in the house..

Obviously expecting to eat 80$ worth of food and now being blindsided by having to pay cash, the young lady scoff at my order off of their traditional rolls section. How much ruder could she be honestly?! After ordering close to 20minutes after sitting at the table with a non busy wait-staff, we had to wait up to another 15/20minutes for a Coke in double tiered shot glass (filled to the rim with ice). Martini the young lady recommended tasted like a spoiled Casaba juice. The food after waiting nearly 30minutes, was simply food.. the Chicken Bento box was literally one filleted piece of chicken chopped in sauce and served like that of one you could get at one of the better supermarkets here in NY. To be quite honest half way into our experience myself and girlfriend were sitting back like this isn't worth 20%, then we get squeezed into the corner we're like "Nope, 15%-12% being nice" get the bill the young ladies decided to place an automatic 18% tip to the bill like NO! You don't treat people like less than someone else to then steal from the them.. And yes I consider it as stealing as in NYC it is illegal to auto-bill gratuity to small parties
