"I recently visited Izakaya Takasei and had a mixed experience.My boyfriend and I ordered the takoyaki, chicken cutlet and egg rice bowl, several yakitori, takowasabi (raw octopus with wasabi), and the Kobe beef roll. While the takoyaki and yakitori were delicious, the chicken cutlet and egg rice bowl was really bland. The Kobe beef roll was a bit odd with the combination of garlic butter and tataki sauce. Unfortunately, there were also a few items on the menu that were no longer available, which was a bit disappointing. It would be good for the restaurant to update their menu to avoid any confusion or disappointments.While the food at Izakaya Takasei comes out quickly, this can also be a double-edged sword. During my visit, my boyfriend and I received several dishes at once, which meant that a lot of our food was sitting out and getting cold while we were eating the others. It would be great if the kitchen could pace the dishes better to ensure that everything is served at the optimal temperature.The service was a bit lackluster as well. The only time we were able to ask for condiments, utensils, and more water was when the employees brought our food out. No one checked on us throughout our meal, and it would have been nice to have a more attentive staff.On the plus side, the restaurant has nice Japanese decor and is quite spacious. However, there was no background music, which made the ambiance a bit dull.Overall, while there were some drawbacks, Izakaya Takasei may be worth checking out if you're in the area and in the mood for some Japanese cuisine. Just be sure to join the wait-list on Yelp beforehand and check in with the host when you arrive."

"Had a disappointing late lunch yesterday with family. They're visiting from far away, keep kosher, and have few options when it comes to dining out. Hit up Borough Park as it has the most restaurant options on the East Coast. They were hankering for Chinese, and we hit up China Glatt in Borough Park, Brooklyn. We saw a sign outside advertising lunch specials that run till 4 pm. We popped in. Only one table occupied. Love dining out off peak! There was a sushi chef by the entrance chopping away and a woman at the register on the phone. Waited over 5 minutes. No one is sitting or talking to us. I asked her if we could seat ourselves, and she directed us to take any round table. Sit down. 10 minutes, no service or menus. Ask the same cashier for the menu and say wait for the waiter. 5 minutes and the waiter shows. Are we ready to order? Duh. No! He brings us tablets with the menus and comes back a bit later to check. We want to order the lunch special, but he denies us as it's 402. We walked in a while before that, and if given menus, we would've ordered. He checks with management, and they say no as it's Chanukah. It's a minor holiday, isn't it? Why did they put the sign outside today? Didn't they figure this out 7 days back? So we order the sesame chicken, crispy beef and chicken and broccoli. Wontons with hot mustard and sweet sauce come out. Mustard was OK. Sauce is not similar to what I'd get in the Boston area. Not good, IMHO. Wontons are very greasy and oily. No one had more than one bite at the table. The sesame chicken was decent and had a good crunch. Crispy beef meh and chicken and broccoli are also not great. It was really difficult getting any attention or service here. We were late due to the long dining experience and had to leave. Took a long time to pay the check. If we saw the manager, assuming they were onsite, we would've said something. IMHO portion size, quality of food, taste, and meh service wasn't worth the $30 an entree price. I'm actually embarrassed we took them there. Not again! Didn't take photos of the food as it didn't look appetizing. Ambiance was meh. Looks old and tired inside. Anyhow, this is our opinion. Wish we had better news to share."
