ISSHIN Izakaya Restaurant — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

30 minutes in and I had to call the waitress over for her to realize they didn’t even put my order in 🤦‍♂️ waitress originally came to our table without her mobile ordering device, we showed her our complete order, then afterwards the waiter with the device comes and asks to see our order again. then a few minutes later asks what we want because they said they were out of something we didn’t even order in the first place. we also ordered two ice teas that have yet to come as I type this out.

No please come back later, no wait time, just "hết bàn rồi chị." That left a bad taste in my mouth especially because the staff at this place used to be very...

We both ordered Combo lunch and unfortunately the waitress could not explain in English or via Google Translate how large the salad was that came with the meal. So I ordered a regular salad in addition which would been too much if we weren’t really hungry. I also tried to ask if the combo came with Miso soup but they misunderstood and I received a separate, additional order of Miso. Again, not a big issue because I was hungry and the portion was small but the lack of effective communication could easily been an issue for...
