"We made a reservation for 9 people at this Japanese Steakhouse for 7pm. We arrived at the restaurant about 645pm. No where is sight were hibachi tables. Being that it was a Japanese Steak house and we were at the other Wu”s we expected the same thing. When I asked they told me they have one in the kitchen for the cook. I was not thrilled about that especially since I called to change the reservation to 10 people and asked to sit at a hibachi table and was told ok! Looking around the restaurant I also noticed there were no large tables yet they kept seating people as they came in even if they did not have a reservation as we stood there waiting. Now I understand with a large group we may have to wait but they were not leaving an area open where we could all sit. At 740 our reservation was for 7pm). We went up and asked they said they were working on it. Then they proceeded to tell me that they don’t have large tables. Well fine then why when I called did someone not tell me that when I added. 10th person to our group!!! Finally at 815pm an hour and 15 minutes after our reservation they told us they could seat us as long as we split up. At that point we were starving and being New Years Eve we would not get in anywhere else so we said fine. We thought we would at least have tables next to each other but that again was not the case so we went out as a group and ended up at two tables not near each other! Then the food. We got our soup and salad pretty quickly but then waited for our food. The food came out and was not even near the quality of the Wu’s in Orland Park!! The rice was mushy and all the food had a strange tasting sauce over it. I would not recommend the Wu’s in Mokena! Go to Orland Park where the Japanese steak house experience is what it should be and the food is good!"

"Arrived early for my reservation at 7:15, and was finally seated at 7:45. The manager asked us if we wanted to eat in the grill or in the restaurant, and we requested to eat in the grill. I didn’t want Hibachi, but I wanted to eat my sushi and watch the entertainment. Turns out that’s frowned upon. When the waiter took our order and I ordered sushi, he grabbed the manager and she got in my face telling me I had to leave. She said “I asked you…”, so I said “you asked where we wanted to eat, not what we wanted to eat.” She made a huge scene and demanded we leave the grill. We laughed it off, grabbed our drinks, then moved to the restaurant (which was basically a sad ihop booth). My wife ordered the veggie egg rolls, and fortunately I took the first bite because my wife is allergic to shellfish and the waitress brought us shrimp egg rolls. It was a disaster that amused us more than it probably should have. 2 sushi rolls, egg rolls, and chicken Lo Mein was $88. Why was it $88? Well, this restaurant has mostly a black clientele. Their other grill is in a rich white town. One of them charges an automatic 18% “service fee” on all final bills…the other doesn’t. Yep, they tax their black customers. That’s when the entire experience stopped being funny. Outside of the unnecessary rudeness of the manager and staff, and the poor service, this could have been rectified. But after seeing that they stereotype their customer base, and apply fees based on racial stereotypes, it is clear to me that they want the revenue but have disdain for the customers they serve. I would gladly starve before I give them another dollar. They saw a boring white couple that they thought wouldn’t say anything, but after a week of organizing my thoughts I want to make sure as many people as possible understand how this place treats people, and make an informed decision before visiting this restaurant."
