Sushi Tatsu — Restaurant in New York

When I can't get amazing, fresh sushi from a quality restaurant that is downtown, I settle for Sushi Katsu but today's service was the last straw.

I ordered 3 roll special and chicken katsu. The order totalled $37. The delivery guy came here 1 hour and a half later. As it was raining, I expected a delay. However, his credit card device was not charged. I attempted to charge it in my apt but it was completely dead. I thought that I could just call the restaurant and give my cc details but he said no. He said that he had to take the order back and return with a working cc machine. I thought that was ridiculous as I have ordered from this place before. I called the restaurant and the lady said "we can not leave the food there it is our policy!!." I repeated, I'm asking if I can simply give you my info. Then she said "o, did he leave yet??" I said yes and I want hot chicken katsu. She assured me that he would return with hot food. Another half hour later, he returned with the same cold ckicken katsu. I called but the worker was frustrated and said "what do you want me do? What you wnt me to do?? We are VERY busy!!!" I explained to her that had she told me the truth (they would NOT make a new fresh, hot order), I would have made the decision to order from somewhere else. After years of of substandard service and sushi, I have finally learned my lesson. After waiting 2 hours, i still don't have what I want. I will...

i’ve ordered takeout from them a few times now. i’ve been vegetarian my whole life (i LOVE tofu) so i haven’t tried that much of the menu.

their vegetarian sushi is good, their lo mein is good, their string beans are FIRE. however, i just ordered a side of the tofu, and immediately ran to the bathroom. i didn’t even make it to the bathroom, i gagged / spit it up in a napkin on the way…the texture / flavor / everything about it was just about the worst thing i’ve ever consumed.

i can’t believe a restaurant exists in NY that makes the most revolting tofu that’s ever existed…. the ‘Age Tofu’ was described as gently fried in a special sauce; there is NO WAY this tofu was fried at all, and it didn’t taste like there was any sort of sauce at ALL tofu absorbs the flavor it’s marinated in (even for just a minute), it’s extremely obvious when there’s any sauce added, i am begging you to put ANY sort flavor on it i’m aware that the texture of tofu in general is interesting; basically everyone i’ve talked to wants tofu be crispy. i felt like i was eating a brain while eating your tofu. i would recommend frying it in a pan, air frier, or oven. for just 10 minutes!!! the sogginess of this tofu was absolutely sickening.

with everything i just said, i will keep eating your food. the tofu needs major work though, and i will absolutely never order that again. thanks...

If you’d asked me that morning what a marriage certificate was, I would have shrugged, perhaps scratched my chin. In this unassuming takeout spot that one would otherwise “not write home about”, I used the NYC Cupid portal to schedule an appointment for one because a YouTuber (I’m a millennial & prefer moving images to accompany informative text) told me it’s part of the process of getting married. I got engaged yesterday which is also a part. Im learning. A humble and eager recipient of the universes gifts, of which there are infinite. The following day, Friday the 13th at the clerks office, my life unfolding before my eyes because of a few keystrokes on my phone. I could marvel indefinitely at the odds, the absurdity of existence, the tendrils of fate. A pivotal plot point in my narrative took place here and the sushi was phenomenal for having ordered it moments before closing. To be continued in Lexington...
