Taiyou Shabu & Sushi — Restaurant in Quincy

This place is good. The sushi is better than some other places in the area, both takeout and dine-in. Have done the AYCE sushi several times and it's always good. Has the hotpot for the first time recently and it was fine, not over the top amazing but for a neighborhood hotpot place, it's just fine. I have brought my

The service here is not the greatest. It is not the worst, but it definitely not satisfactory. I had dinner here with two friends and they ordered the "all you can eat" and I only ordered one order of sushi. The first problem is that I wasn't able to split my bill to only have what I ordered. I was forced to order all you can eat despite only eating the food that I ordered. The bill came and I asked to just charge my card $20 and my friends had paid the rest of the bill in cash and tipped her with cash. I signed my receipt and added my tip to my $20 card. The server came back to collect her tip and she counted the tip right in front of us. It was distracting as we were still chatting. The server interrupted us talking and made a huge deal that I only made a tip on the $20 and not the $100. I tried explaining that I was only tipping on my part of the bill and not the whole bill and that the cash that was left over was her tip on my friends' portion. After going back and forth we finally gave her another $10. I always tip well because I have served before, but I also believe that tipping is optional. To be forced to give a larger tip is bad business practice. I will never come back to patron...

I used to come often but after last time, never again. Officially scarred from them. Came in, barely busy (literally only two other tables). Waited a whole hour for sashimi and avocado/seafood salad which was disgusting and not fresh. When we asked about if our food was still coming out the waitress with the short black hair gave us attitude saying its on the chefs and not her but she could've at least offered to check with him. If you only see the younger Asian sushi chef, do not eat there for that day unless you see the older guy. Reasons: food took an hour, the salads were literally just cut up cucumber skins with none of the inside cucumber fillings, I took 2 bites and I started getting dizzy and nauseous, had to throw up to feel better right after I ingested it. I was able to avoid food poisoning if I hadn't done that and I almost fainted on the way trying to get to the bathroom. The reason I knew its from the salad is because that was the only thing that came up (and I ate hot pot before the sashimi/sushi food came out). Then the sashimi wasn't fresh or looked any good. It was disgusting.

If you do go there, only for the hot pot. But my family and I are never going again after...
