"I was there with 2 friends and 1 remarked to the waitress that her fish looked different she had been a client there for over 10 years and was often taking the same dish . Of course, it could have meant that the fish did not look so fresh, which is the worst that can be said to a Japanese restaurant specialised on sushi. My friend was not aggressive but rather interrogative. The waitress came back after a while saying something like: our fish is fresh, if you don 't want fish, ask something else . That was already quite rude. There of course, my friend asked to speak to the manager. The idea was not to make a scandal but to have an explanation. The waitress would totally have diffused the situation with a I am sorry, I can guarantee you that our fish is extremely fresh. Could we propose you something else or should we make a new one ? Then came the team manager who more or less said if you are not happy, you can leave and not bother coming back . Since we were 3 ladies eating together, my friend did not want to make a scandal but we were all quite shocked. She asked for something else which was served to her after 25-30 minutes ! Pretty obvious that this was done on purpose. It was served by a very nice waiter who profusely the first one apologised for the whole situation. He offered her a coffee on the house . She accepted and paid for us 3, leaving him a generous tip. After 10 minutes, he came back extremely embarrassed and flushed : he could not serve her the coffee and was forced by his manager to give my friend back her tip!!! I have never witnessed something so violent and extremely shocking. I cannot understand why a renowned house like Hiro Sakao can put a person who obviously hates her job and is ready to go on a personal crusade with clients that irritate her. Personally, I go to Sen Asia Tapas Bar : the food is great, cheaper, and the service is fantastic."
