"The restaurant was clan and neat. I was seated within 3 mins of arriving, followed by my waiter taking my drink request. When the waiter came back with my water, I told him my order (Unagi Don with spinach, which came with miso soup).Ten minutes later, a server placed my food in front of me with a small greeting and was GONE. The problem was that I never received my soup. The server who 'd brought my food had his back to me, so short of yelling I couldn 't get his attention. Fortunately, another server saynme looking around and came over. When I said that I didn 't get soup , he asked, Oh? You want miso soup? He apologized, about three mins later my waiter brought a bowl, and apologized. Maybe most guests don 't want the soup.The food was hot but the spinach had no seasoning, just cooked leaves. No one checked on me after my food was delivered. When I was ready to go, the same server who 'd fixed my soup issue got my check for me. I saw my waiter and the server cleaning a table together. I paid and tipped in cash, so I waited until one of them walked by so I could give them my bill. We said 'good night ' and I got up to leave. As I was leaving, there was a lady sitting at the hostess counter. I said, Good night, but she just gawked at me. She really just STARED. It was a bit weird, so I said Good night again. That time she spoke.This is a Sunday night. Maybe they 're short staffed and frazzled. It 's not a bad place, just an odd first encounter."

"So, I convinced my family to dine at Fujiya Ramen tonight because of the positive Google Reviews. Big mistake; I should 've checked Yelp. Being Japanese myself, I can say with complete conviction that the noodle soup I ordered was absolutely NOT authentic Japanese ramen, despite the very Japanese name of the restaurant. The overpriced tonkotsu ramen was incredibly flavorless; the broth had no hint of being prepared with pork bones or kombu, which gives real Japanese ramen its creaminess, depth and flavor. The curry we ordered tasted like curry, but the chicken it came with had an odd texture, as if it wasn 't really chicken. I don 't even want to know what that mystery meat was. The miso soup that accompanied our curry and my son 's Gyu Don dish, similar to the ramen broth, was also missing actual miso flavor. My son remarked that the soup tastes like slightly flavored water, and after sampling it, he wasn 't lying. They charge $13.50 for a very small kids meal that consisted of cheese sticks, fries and a tiny cubed fish stick bun. Not worth it. Bubble tea was served with way too much ice and not enough boba and at $7.50 each, was a total rip off. We were rushed to order despite no one being in the restaurant and rushed to pay, but thank goodness I looked at the check because we were charged for an extra bubble tea. We received no apology when it was removed from the check, and our lady server even tried to tell me the new check amount was more than it should be. I made her correct it with the actual price the check should 've been. All in all, we spent an incredible amount of money for such underwhelming food. Trust me, please go elsewhere if you 're looking for authentic and delicious Japanese food. You 've been warned!"
