Sushi, Sashimi And Dons

Super super tasty mentaiko gyoza! We got it to share and the mentaiko sauce was 😍
However, one of the servers was very rude. We had arrived within our grace period of our reservation and were waiting outside the restaurant for someone to bring us in. A lady (tall, slim, short rebonded hair) came a few minutes later, and berated us for being late. Even though we tried to tell her we were standing outside the whole time, she insisted that no, she "was there all along and didn't see us", and that "next time I really will release your table". Almost walked out if not for the long journey and food. 😩 There were empty tables anyways, so if she had released our table, it wouldn't even be that big of a problem. After seating us, she continued to occasionally glare at us from a distance. Fortunately, the other servers were very very nice and almost made up for her rude behavior. Like...why is there a need to scold a customer for being "late" in the first place??

Anyways had the upsized bara chirashi don and garlic roasted yakiniku! Both were tasty but that lady's service left a bitter taste in my mouth. 😫

Have always been a big fan of Omote or Sushiro (as it was previously known as). Frequented the small shop of Sushiro before they expanded to a slightly bigger restaurant and finally to Omote. Their prices have always been wallet friendly (especially for a student like me) and they do not compromise on quality. Visited Omote 2.0 and it came with a new extensive menu (which was slightly overwhelming) which offered a multitude of options. Still, I stuck with my old time favourite bara chirashi don but I upsized it. Didn't disappoint as I was presented with a huge portion of salmon (my favourite!). Boyfriend got the kyoto glazed duck don and the sliced duck was so good and succulent. Had the soda called Island Sunset and boyfriend had the whiskey sour :) which were both good! Definitely would come back to try out other dishes in their big menu!
