I recently read where a friend was out in the suburbs of Atlanta and had a horrible experience with Japanese food. She had to make a special request for miso soup which was an extra charge and the salad had some creamy thousand island dressing. None of these things go on in a Japanese restaurant worth anything.
Here's what happened when we went to the Japanese restaurant, Shogun in Spartanburg, SC.
Things that happened this evening at the cost of nearly $40 for two people:
1- Ate miso soup without tofu.
2- Waited a ridiculous amount of time for our order of nigiri and maki sushi due to no wait staff in the sushi area since everybody was working the area where the non-Asian cooks throw knives around and squirt fire.
3- Ate sushi that did not have the required vinegar mixed in the rice, aka "sushi rice".
4- Swallowed bones due to the poor quality of the fish.
5- Wasted a sizable amount of rice due to the excessive amounts for the rice balls for the nigiri sushi.
6- Had to buy chewing gum to rinse my mouth since the ginger slices were of poor quality resulting in burning my mouth. It is to cleanse the pallet when eating various kinds of sushi.
