As a foodie, I love trying out new restaurants and often find myself returning to the same favorite ones. Fugakyu is NOT one of them but we wanted sushi in that area so we ended up there. I read other reviews complaining about the non-Japanese staff factor. I already knew that this restaurant is owned and operated by Chinese people. So it's not 'authentic' Japanese (almost impossible to find in Boston), but I expect my server to understand the minimal English, as in, what I'm ordering. We ordered shrimp AND vegetable tempura(ONE appetizer). She brought us just the vegetable tempura. After we each ate one piece, we looked at eachother and asked, ""wait, didn't we get the shrimp & veg?"" When I asked the waitress to bring us just the shrimp tempura because she didn't get it right to begin with, she brought us what we ORIGINALLY ordered and gave us the attitude like WE messed up. NO, NO, NO. WE KNOW what we ordered. SHE did not speak good English, other items we ordered, we had to repeat them couple of times.
