Sick to my stomach

by CFernandez at Citysearch

My husband and I have enjoyed dinner (usually sushi) at Chomps many times over the last six years. However, our visit there on Tuesday will DEFINATELY be our last! Instead of eating at the sushi bar, we setteIed on Tepan. I ordered the Under the Sea special, which includes both shrimp and scallops and. Durring service I commented to my husband that the chif didn't take nearly as much time to cook our food he usually does. While the food tasted great, about an hour after finishing my meal, I became violently ill. My husband has called the restaurant three times to complain and hopfully be reumburssed, but so far managment has just given him the run around. I mentioned my experience at Chomps to a friend and she said they use old fish and have been closed down by the H----- Department twice. Had I known early, I NEVER would have ate there!

• Pros: Fun and up-beat atmospher
• Cons: Old and undercooked fish!!!!!

Not fresh, not Japanese, but nice servers, slow as heck!

Being from Japan, I know fresh and authentic, but this place isn't it. They try the Benihana technique, but the service I have received from the last 15 years has been friendly, however food quality I have to say they lack majorly. Try this for those who eat there: when ordering shrimp, try to see if the shrimp tail slips off the shell when pulling. If they break off easily, and not slip off, that just tells you it is old. I tried ordering traditional sushi, and I would say it is not even close. I hate the false advertising for those who try to sell you "sushi" they take decades of training, and when sashimi is more than a day old, they leave a shiny film that resemble a thin mother-of-pearl shine (check that out too!) I don't feel that they get how important fresh means to sushi and sashimi, and one can end up getting really sick from that, not to mention poorly selected fish can send you to the hospital, and I don't have the confidence to eat there any more.

• Pros: Friendly service
• Cons: Non-fresh food, extremely loud, insects in the restaurant
