"the food and the quality is much overpriced the soup bowl of my mannes was not even a portion size. I ordered the seaweed salad, it was very dry and dirty, the early roll were very oily and fell apart when the waiter came. my man ordered a drink, took sooo long we finished the order since we finished eating. the sushi was cold as we ordered the tempura, it should be at least room temperature. we will not go back, it was a great disappointment."

"This was a horrible experience starting the moment we walked in the door. 5:30 reservation for 8 and the spaced out hostess told us the wait would be “a while” with no explanation or time estimate. After waiting for 15 minutes we asked the manager why we could not be seated while there was an empty table with 9 chairs. Told us there was a bigger party coming that table was held for. If we have also have a reservation and are already here why would we not be seated? After another 20 minutes with that EMPTY table still there my grandma finally spoke up that she no longer wanted to stand and again asked why we must wait for a table while holding a table for a party that wasn’t there. After being seated we waited for over an hour for our cooked food while the sushi sat getting warm at the sushi bar. Appetizer that we were told would take 15 minutes came out with the food. I ordered the sea bass and it had absolutely no flavor. I am not one to send back food but refuse to pay $28 for a meal that tastes like nothing. Told the server that I didn’t want to order anything else as the rest of my party was eating and I wasn’t going to wait another hour just to eat alone. This entire time the manager never came to speak to us, never offered an explanation or apology. I understand that things happen and restaurants are unexpectedly short of staff. As a manager you should be explaining these issues to customers so they can know what to expect. If the hostess had explained to us how short of staff they were we would’ve went somewhere else to eat. Maybe this was a one off as other reviews are great but for a special occasion I would go elsewhere. We were celebrating Mother’s Day, a birthday and two engagements with most of our party coming from out of town. It was an embarrassment and after the disregard from management I will never come back. Only positive was from our waitress who was attentive and apologized for everything. She should not have to do managements job."

"I went to this restaurant on a Thursday night with a group for a work lunch. I was excited to see the menu options and pleased that we could also get hibachi at a regular table. The restaurant appeared to be quite empty, which is understandable given the current situation, so the service was a bit slow. There also seemed to be some disorganization as a few people at our table received the wrong orders initially and some of us ended up with the wrong leftovers at the end of the night. However, the food was delicious and the drinks were good as well. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. Despite the issues with service, I would still recommend stopping by for a meal."

"Not always you will find a Chinese food take out place that has a rating of 4.3 on Google reviews. I must say I have tried few of their items including lunch and dinner specials and they are really good. There is certain level of quality that they maintain and the price is also reasonable. Try it, you wont be disappointed. Service: Take out Meal type: Lunch"

"The hibachi experience was wonderful! We had a great time celebrating three birthdays. The only issue was that we needed more seating, and it took some time for everyone to get comfortable. We had to wait for all our guests to arrive, which can be a bit challenging, but thankfully the staff accommodated us more quickly than expected. Otherwise, the food was delicious. I just wish we could have used the entire menu, as it was a bit confusing. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'm grateful for it."

"I hadn't been to Shaw's in quite a while but it was well worth the wait. I had the shrimp scampi and the Brussel sprouts. OMG...so good. Also, they have a cocktail called the Mai Tai martini that was so delicious I just had to have 2!"

"I had high hopes for this since it's in a luxury hotel. They forgot my order and gave us the wrong dessert. Food didn't take long which was good because we were limited on time. Food wasn't the quality I expected. I got the duck and it was literally two pieces and my hubby got steak. Staff was nice in taking my hubby's food back and give us fresh hot food at the same time because he had it sitting there for 30 minutes before they realized their mistake."

"Really good food.. the problem is the woman who leads the place is unpleasant. I also think she's uncomfortable with those who work with her. Every third time they get our order wrong, but if it's right?s excellent. It is also the most expensive Asian food in the city. One of my friends stopped going there, just because of the attitude of the woman who seems to lead the place. She once told me that she can't find people to work."

"While we go on holiday through Santa Cruz, we decided to try this restaurant based on the reviews. It is one of the better rated restaurants in the area. The location is amazing... You drive on a small pier where there are a number of restaurants and shops. Many birds, seals and people fish. Great place to hang out and enjoy the view. The restaurant itself is quite cool, they have small windows in the floor so you can see the seals hanging under the restaurant. The ambience is the place, so we asked for a table at the window. No one was available and the hostess offered us no opportunity to wait, she said she could have us in the bar area, the offered rotating seats so give everyone the opportunity to have a window view. She said it was really nice and people like it, so we went unwillingly with it and hated it. It's like going to dinner several times from night to day. When the wheel turns, go from light to dark, then back to light, then dark. It was a very depressing experience for us. Also within 5 minutes of sitting, all except one of their window seats were available. It would have been nice if the hostess was attentive enough to realize almost all through the window, had finished their meals and was ready to go before they were on this rotating bike. Nevertheless, we turned an hour. Our waitress gave recommendations on drinks we tried. Nothing that happened there, they were pretty, but fruity, beaten kind of drinks. The food was decent. My husband ordered the burger who was slightly dry, but the Mayo and Pineapple salsa added a great taste to the dish. I ordered the cattle and chicken kegs. They had no taste, but were edible. We were underwhelmed by all the experience. Also, we were really upset with the waiter constantly on foot. You have to go over the rotary wheel to get to the kitchen, so that she constantly went around tables to get drinks and food that increases the inconvenience of the culinary experience."
