Never Again

by mblack237 at Citysearch

We went to this restuarant after the theatre for a light meal. I read that the food was good and always eager to find a good sushi restuarant, we decided to give it try.

We were invited in and we asked to sit at the sushi bar. Food was ok but the service and the experience was horrifying.

We were not told that the restuarant was closing until the food was put in front of us and then rushed through out the meal. In addition the staff was rude and insulting in ways that I never expreienced in a restuarant before. It actually made me sick to my stomache.

I will never forget this dining experience. I am 50 years old and was at the restuarant with my date. The Sushi chef at the front of the bar took it upon himself to snicker at us, talk to the waitress in japonese while indicating he was talking about us and, the final blow, he asked me if I was my dates mother!!!! All this unprovoked. I was so insulted and shocked that I didn't know what to say. It upset me for the whole night. It was a mean comment for no reason at all. We just went there to have a bite and enjoy ourselves after a show.

I mean even if I was old, ugly or whatever, which i am not, how could this sort of behavior be justified???

So I will never forget this expereince and will never recommend this place to anyone. This place sucked.

• Pros: Go if you like to spend your money being rushed and insulted
• Cons: Let me count the ways...

Rude!!!

by marcony at Citysearch

I really don't care how good their food is.

The experience we had last night was enough to make me want to call the police.

The service was abrupt. We were told the kitchen was closing as soon as our food was delivered, and we were hustled for more dishes. The waitress tried to remove plates while we were still eating from them. The men behind the sushi bar continually gestured towards me and my companion and visibly smirked at each other all through our meal. It was incredibly uncomfortable, and to top it off, one of them asked if I was my date's parent ( we are the same age group) when we were leaving.

I don't pay these kind of prices to be insulted and used as comic relief by the staff.

What an awful evening. I can't understand how any restaurant can justify this kind of obnoxiously rude behavior by their staff.

I'd rather eat dirt than return to this dump.

• Cons: Incredible Rude, Discourteous Staff

One of the Best in town

by robino35 at Citysearch

Made a special trip to the city to have sushi with my wife who had been dying to have "good" sushi. Only took us seconds to decide to come back to Yasuda; but this time, we sat at the sushi bar. Making the reservation was a little bit nerve cracking because of the accent of the staff and the background noise; however, it did not stop me from trying to have the best fish in town. The fish was exceptional as always after all these years. And I had used my hands to eat sushi the first time after the chef gave me an okay. There are ONLY few established restaurants that have yet disappointed us, Yasuda is definitely one of them in town.

• Pros: Best fish
• Cons: Reservation
