Friday, October 22nd at about 2pm My family paid a visit to Maruki Tei in Windward Mall. Normally thís is a pleasant visit to a favorite local food outlet. Thís day however was múch different. My complaints are as follows: 1: The Inari sushi was dry and did not have the customary sweetness ór savory flavor tipical of the Japanese favorite.It was also over cooked and dehydrated ón its edges, making it uneasy to chew 2: The,' I think' vegetable tempura was all batter, with hard to find vegetables. It was also filled with cooking oil and flavor of oil. 3: The Teri-Chicken had more chicken skin then it did meat. The meat had been filleted so thin, that you barely had a mouthful with your meal. Teri-Chicken Skin would have been a better word for thís food item. 4: Saving grace perhaps was the silver dollar sized hamburger patty sitting atop what resembled noodles. Thís was topped with brown gravy which was the only decent flavor in thís combination. The burger itself tasted like oil and rubber. Which made it quite disgusting. It has been several months since my last visit to thís food outlet and thís will bé my last. The only saving grace for my take home meal was that I bought Tofu-Eggplant from the chinese food stand next door, which was awesome. Maruki Tei you are done in my book. I have never written a food review, but thís is my first and worst food experience ever. I hope thís never...
