54 Restaurant — Restaurant in Springfield

For the sake of constructive criticism and just really wanting this place to make it, here's the feedback.

My friend made the reservation for our group of 10 online which was convenient. We ended up with one extra person than on the reservation. The tables are the types that can be pushed together, and we're told at the front they can't add another person to our group. That 11th last person ended up showing up anyways and the waitress pulled up a chair for one more person.

The tables around us stayed empty throughout our whole dinner. Definitely was opportunity to give us a bit more space by pulling up another table. I don't know why the hostess had to make it seem like they were expecting the place to be packed and could not accommodate 1 extra person.

Drinks were all ordered at once. We're a large group ready to celebrate, but the drinks took a long time and were served to our table very sporadically with long waits in between. Some didn't show up until after reminding our waitress twice. This made it hard to keep the drinks flowing and we didn't order more rounds as a group.

Inconsistency in drinks. A few of us ordered the same drinks, served in different sized cups and totally different levels of flavor.

Sushi looked amazing, they really took the effort to make the sushi platter a show stopper with a fire feature. One of the waiters told us all the fish is flown in from Japan. I don't know if I believe that tbh, but if that's the case, id expect those sushi prices to be higher.

Shaky beef portion was so laughable for the price. I totally get it, this isn't a traditional vietnamese restaurant. However there was nothing non traditional about this dish outside of the plating. At most places, this dish is served where over half your plate would be filled with meat for a third less money. Either sell a traditional portion for more money (which is what we was expecting) or give a smaller portion for a standard plate price. Don't upcharge AND give such a small portion.

Gucci Gang Wings - I was excited cause I love gochujang which is what these were supposed to be flavored with. Gochujang has a strong soy based flavor but the wings came out dry and lacking flavor.

Fried rice balls were interesting and I actually enjoyed the combination of the bisque with the crispy coated rice.

Service was horrible. Our waitress was friendly, but clearly not trained. There was no organization to how orders were being taken or delivered. Typically there is a mental or written down seating arrangement so food can be rung up on a ticket delivered to the correct person. If that doesn't work, then the waitress should direct runners to get the food to the right guest. Instead there was alot of plates landing in front of the wrong people in and with noone explaining what they were being served, we had to play the guessing game and eventually figure out on our own where everything should go.

We had two extra spring rolls dishes come out to our table and they were sitting for quite some time while.we tried to figure out whos food was whos. When we alerted the waitress, she took them back including one that someone had already started working on. Just a weird thing to do as it made us wonder if it was going to end up at another table after being touched.

We has asked for split checks at the beginning and the waitress said it was no problem. It was a problem. It was a very long process to pay all our bills which just added to the not so great experience here.

I was excited to see a spot like this open up giving us a trendy asian fusion spot, but this experience was disappointing. I really hope this place steps it up, trains the staff, and figures out what they're...

Let me start by saying that i’ve never written a review in my life but I felt like people deserved a fair warning. My friend and I finally went to check this place out after eyeing it for a few weeks. It recently took over the previous Zinburger location in Springfield Mall. The atmosphere is really nice and the place has a very open concept, which I liked. We started off with sushi, which was delicious. The server told us one of their most popular dishes was the crab fried rice, so my friend ordered that and I ordered the short ribs. We got our sushi in a reasonable time and finished it. The server came back to tell me they were out of short ribs, so I had to change my order to the shaky beef. We were waiting there for at least 45 minutes before a manager finally came to apologize and inform us that the kitchen is backed up and we were the next ticket in line. The server didn’t come once after taking our order. I felt like it was because she noticed how long the kitchen was taking and avoided our table like the plague. In reality, you should be teaching your servers to communicate with customers. Regardless of the wait, we decided to remain patient. The manager got us drinks on the house to sweeten the deal (in reality, the manager only offered my friend a drink and my friend had to go and ask for mine as well, which was honestly embarrassing). Almost another 30 minutes later, our food finally arrives. I wish I could say that the almost hour and a half wait was worth it. The crab fried rice tasted exactly like the white rice that came with my shaky beef - bland, unseasoned and dry. My friend sent it back and ordered the lamb chops which, as expected, was delayed getting to us again. The shaky beef was subpar at best and was certainly not worth the price. The lamb was decent, certainly better than the unseasoned crab fried rice but nothing special. This is a good place for sushi but based on the three dishes we tried, it’s not good for much else. We were incredibly patient and saw two parties in the booth in front of us come and go before we ever received our meal and when it finally arrived, it was a huge disappointment. I’m sure there’s some growing pains but you’re a restaurant, without good food, ambiance, music and drinks will only take you so...
