    I was celebrating my birthday as I was given a $30 certificate. Made reservations on Monday March 31st at 5:15pm got there couple minutes ahead. Wasn’t seated till about 5:30pm for party of 7 next week didn’t get service around 6:15pm just very disappointed at how long it took when I observed over tables after us get helped before us which is very poor. We said at station 10 Chan btw was great btw. Order drinks about time food was ready I wasn’t that hungry anymore. Just never thought I would experience that type of customer service before. Also towards the end of our sever giving us the bill which I felt I was being rushed I had to ask for our dessert my other friends had to leave so me an my daughter ending up getting our dessert. I also didn’t receive my paper copy of my receipt.
