    We’ve been going here for at least the last 18 years. Tonight’s experience was terrible. The restaurant is really really dingy dirty. The chairs and carpet are gross. The food has gotten so expensive! It’s gone up at least twice in the last 6 months. I asked for garlic butter on my steak and they have the nerve to charge $.80 for it now. The steak is thinner, the chicken is smaller. No more birthday pictures. The days are numbered for this establishment. Unfortunately we won’t be back at this rate.

    Our reservation was at 6:30, we arrived a few minutes early. We were not seated until 7:30! And after that we waited another 30 minutes to be served. It was crazy! Never again.

    Our Chief was amazing however our waitress lacked in a lot of things. First, she forgot to bring out my brother and his girlfriend’s white rice. They didn’t get it until the very end and we had to tell her, not only that but she never came around to refill our waters; we again had to tell her. Our meals also came with green tea but never once did she even offer or say it came included. I knew most meals came with ice cream and I AGAIN had to tell her about it and that’s when she asked what kind we wanted. We went there to celebrate my mother’s birthday it was her first time and my families first time there and I am extremely upset that this is how their first experience was. I came here with my boyfriends family for his birthday and it was amazing and at the end of the meal, staff even took our picture and we got it in printed out and it was put in a cute card with the restaurant name and logo. The waitress never did that for us. Overall, it was a place that my family said would not go again. For the price that we paid and STILL gave her a pretty good tip, I am highly disappointed and extremely upset.
