Upon entry, a very noticeable, unpleasant odor was evident, and the lack of proper ventilation was immediately apparent. The dining area was uncomfortably smokey, leading to a distressing experience where a couple of us started coughing ( it was very was unavoidable at one point.)
Our chef's performance was lackluster, lacking creativity and enthusiasm, which was particularly disheartening as we were celebrating my daughter's birthday. Despite occasional references to the occasion, his engagement was minimal, mostly mumbling and fixating oddly on topics like '5-hour energy drink.' Despite this, I generously tipped him for our party.
The culinary mishaps continued with our orders, where one guest received less chicken than expected, and another was served chicken in addition to the requested filet mignon.
Furthermore, the cooking pace was sluggish, resulting in a jarring mismatch where our rice and noodles turned cold by the time our meat was adequately cooked.
An additional point of contention was the pricing policy on soft drinks - they were charged individually with no option for refills. In an era where most restaurants offer complimentary refills, this felt like a missed opportunity for added customer value.
The total bill for four of us amounted to $150, with $40 allocated for tips ($20 to the waitstaff and $20 to the chef) on top of the $150.
Reflecting on the overall experience and the cost, it did not equate to good value for money. Alternatives like Outback or Flat Top Grill would have likely offered a more satisfying dining experience at a comparable or lesser cost.
In summary, my experience at Hana Yori of Japan was far from what I had hoped for. With a heavy heart, I rate it 1 out of 5 stars and suggest exploring other dining options in the area.
Slow service -- Disappointing food -- Poor presentation
