Bistro 128 — Restaurant in Newark

Prepare yourself to wait up to 30+ minutes for your ordered dish and another 30+ minutes before you can leave. Was sat at 7:10 pm (only had a few ordered after 12 minutes of waiting, waited for the dish for 30 minutes, ate for 20 minutes and continued waiting for another 33 minutes for a slice of cheesecake ordered at the very start of dinner, and was not able to get the bill until after 8:57 pm.

Ordered the chicken katsu for dinner and a slice of pistachio cheesecake. The crispy chicken from the chicken katsu was good, the rice was very dry, and the broccoli was boiled. It was not worth the 30 minute wait.

All three mornings I came down, between 8 and 10am, the service was atrocious. All three mornings they where out of all breakfast sandwiches. Only one time they even had a bagel. I got it with cream cheese, or more the essence of cream cheese. Drip coffee tasted old, and cooler then a normal cup of coffee is, at 8am. Went with Lattes the next...

We were on vacation returning from Latvia, many hours of flying, totally worn out, and our airline, UA, cancels our flight home to Miami until the next day at 3:00 pm!

We had to stay at the Doubletree Inn by Hilton Hotels Newark Airport overnight. We were hungry and went downstairs to their restaurant, Bistro 128. The ambiance was fine. The food was ok except for the asparagus, which was overcooked and dried up so bad that it was inedible. It was $5 for a 16-ounce bottle of water when you can buy 24 bottles for $5 at Costco. Unbelievable. Prices were high on the menu. But we had no other choice.

The service was a little on the slow side, but the servers were friendly. We were very tired after all the hassles at the airport, so slow service was ok with...
