This chain restaurant has been here for ages. We stopped by for a late lunch when in the area and wanted Japanese (Is Yamaguchi in Port Washington now open for dinner only?)
Should have gone else.
Service is so so, so is the food. Two soups that comes with sashimi are ok – miso and onion soup. The foyer is dirty by the time we left.
When we done eating, have to wait for a long time for our bill, as if they’ve forgotten that we were there. Getting their attention is pretty hard to accomplish.
The handheld credit card machine is a plus. The tip starts at 18%. It’s my first time, under her watchful eyes, I changed it to less. It’s not difficult to do.
On disposable chopsticks : why are we still using them? I took it out of the paper pouch, and break them apart, and wiped them on my red napkin. Shockingly, I saw white marks. What are these white marks? How sanitized are these disposables and are they really good for our health?!?
