Tokyo

From the minute I saw the waitress, and I knew it was going to be a bad dining experience. As a table of three we were seated at the back of the petite restaurant. The waitress looked as if she had the intelligence of a 12 year old, and looked as if she had just came down from another high time. She placed the menus in front of us, and I open it up. I looked down at the pages scrolling threw when I noticed hair in my menu, so I thought to myself 'wow I hope the food is better!'. Since I recently came back from Vancouver and ate at my favourite sushi spot, I did not want to ruin the delicious sushi memory with bare minimum enjoyment. I was searching for a non-carnivore dish as I do not eat meat and saw 'Anade Teriyaki' which is tofu teriyaki. I remembered my father getting a teriyaki item before at another restaurant and it looked delicious, so I proceeded to order the tofu teriyaki. My boyfriend and his friend ordered other meals. As we proceeded to wait for a long time for our dinners the waitress brought us green tea that took about 20 minutes to brew, which I drink at home and know it only takes about 5 minutes. My tofu came on a plant with a tiny dizzle of sauce on it on a miniature plate, and before I could ask where the rest of it was the waitress was gone. I was starving so I started nibbling on it, as we waited about 45 minutes for the other food to arrive. When it all came I questioned where my food was and the waitress said 'you just ordered the appetizer and I said 'no I ordered the teriyaki and she took my tofu and said 'it will just be a second she can whip it up quick' so I though oh gosh. About 10minutes later I received Anade Don, and not teriyaki I thought what the heck I am so hungry! All that the bowl contained was two little pieces of fried tofu with some bean sprouts on top of rice. It was bland and pretty bad, my boyfriend said that his was not that great but he was hungry, since he is also not the one to complain. I was quite aggravated due to the despicable service and let down meal. Through out the whole meal we saw the waitress about 3 times, once to take our order, once for the tea, and once for the food. We were there about an hour and a half due to long waits. Though the restaurant was not busy it was still unimpressive service and food. We went up to go pay the bill and I explained to the waitress that my food was not good, and she replied 'if it was not good you should have told me' and I responded 'you never came to the table for me to tell you', in the end she told me that if it was not that good I should not have eaten it and charged us full price. In conclusion the Tokyo restaurant is a waste of money and disappointment which should be avoided. Try Lee's overseas and Isshin on main before wasting your money at Tokyo, or even better if in Vancouver try Kadoya on Davie St. it is the best sushi and good prices!
