Raw 89 - Kirkland

The decor of the restaurant is stunning, and it offers a lovely view of the water. However, I was disappointed to find a dirty tablecloth, and I was quite surprised to see that there were no other customers on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I ordered the chicken katsu curry, which was shallow and the chicken was really dry. We also tried four rolls, but they were all unappetizing and lacked flavor. I was quite hungry, so I considered eating something, but we ended up not consuming much at all. The prices are also quite high—over $80 for four rolls, a side of fries, and one katsu curry. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and it’s hard to understand why anyone would choose to dine here.

We sat at our table for quite a while, waiting for someone to bring us menus. During that time, the waiting staff passed by us multiple times, but we received no attention, not even from the man who was clearing tables. Eventually, we got fed up and decided to leave. Unfortunately, we never had the chance to try the food, as we were never served.

I was disappointed to find that the crispy roll only came with chicken, despite the menu stating it could also be made with pork, buckwheat, or tofu. They also didn’t have the goat salad available. The menu definitely needed updating. Additionally, the restaurant could have used at least 30 more chairs, and someone with better organizational skills, as the entire scene was quite chaotic. It felt like the customers were running the place, and no one was stepping up to address the issues. Given the experience, I probably won’t be visiting this restaurant again.

They did not know that the restaurant reservations took did not know what was more open table and I think the staff hated me for it. our experience there was terrible and honest, maybe it could have been a night, but it is hard to find one maybe if this was literally the worst experience I ever had in a restaurant. I would say they try it for themselves and do not make any reservations.

Ran out of three items on the menu, while getting our order wrong at the same time. Worst service/ management I've ever seen. All of these happened at a birthday celebration.
