We expect to not have to ask, they expect you to ask. As for getting multiple servers, they operate differently from western restaurants where a server has an assigned section. These guys are very prompt about removing empty dishes from your table, and any of them will come nab your order from you once you make it obvious you're ready.<br /><br />Overall, this is a loved place to go for me and my friends, and the only problem we have is we don't have the budget to go there more often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531507387643633773.post-16993479658775635052012-06-20T22:32:11.962-07:002012-06-20T22:32:11.962-07:00Makisu is quite nasty, i've seen the kicthen. ...Makisu is quite nasty, i've seen the kicthen. They keep their chicken teryaki, and tempura bits for cripys rolls out in the open all day&night. There cups are dirty and they have a fruit fly problem because I have found it one in two drinks & a roll.. also finding a peice of metal in my wonton soup. NONE of the servers can explain there menu.. Bad review, will not be going back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531507387643633773.post-49670617611618010252012-05-10T14:17:59.318-07:002012-05-10T14:17:59.318-07:00A friend and I went for a dinner at Makisu and alt...A friend and I went for a dinner at Makisu and although it arrived quickly and the presentation was nice we will not be going back.We found the menu confusing and the original server was over attentive at until after we placed the order than it took forever for him to make his way back. In between our meal we had 3 different people come to our table... one of which did not speak english and was trying to interpret what was in specific rolls. Our water was warm and there were gross fruit flys everywhere which to me indicates that garbage hasnt been taken out or something is rotting. All of these would not even matter at all in the slightest if the sushi was fantastic... it was not! The calamari was served with ketchup... i knew it was not going to be good. While i liked the variety I knew that any place with that much variety is going to have some not so great dishes... Sadly the only thing that was good was the tempura. The sushi had way too much sauce if you ordered the ones with sauce, if you had ones with creamcheese there was too much of it and it would overpower the roll everything tasted like creamcheese and rice, and the worst offence was the fish had NO flavour, which was just plain sad for any sushi establishment. For 60$ we would have been way more happy going to DONO or Lighthouse and getting delicious sushi and stuffed full. Sorry for the bad review but we have 2 really good sushi places in town and Makisu will have to step it up for 30$Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
