Well-it's definitely a ""no thrills"" experience.Yes I suppose it's different than other places in the respect that your food comes out hot as soon as it's ready.I however don't look at that as a plus.Other restaurants still manage to get your food out to you hot and all at the same time so that you can enjoy dinner with your guests which is usually whats intended when you go out to dinner with friends right?Anyways on some other notes: \r
a.The servers are running around all over the place and don't ""care"" for you like other servers at other restaurants do.You just feel like another number(I would compare the customer service to that of Burger King) \r
b.They restrict you to alter ANY dishes(oh wait - unless you want to remove items from a specific dish, yeah the server told me they have time to do that but no time to add anything - well jeeze I didn't realize I was wasting your time)the food that you pay money for can only be altered in ways that are convenient and cost effective for them\r
c.They claim to be a healthy place to eat with no msg however after informing my server that I have an allergy to msg they found it a little difficult to give me what I wanted and had a list of few specific dishes to choose from?\r
d. Food is not authentic - funny enough they rave about how affordable they are but really....have they ever been to an authentic japenese noodle house?The food is tasty, they don't lie to you about their ingredients (what you see is what you get) and dishes are 1/2 the price of Wagamama.\r
e.They do not take reservations and although I didn't have to wait long in line, when we were seated we were seated at a big cafeteria table with hard wooden seats that are extremely uncomfortable with no backs and we sat with about 15 other strangers\r
f.No music, no tv's - just the sound of a room full of people in an empty cafeteria-like atmosphere. reminded me of high school which for most is not something we care to re-live\r
Long story short: NEVER would go again!
Pros: Place to go if you want to re-live your high school cafeteria scene
Cons: Service,Atmosphere,Food
