text: My one pet peeve about some shi shi restaurants are snooty patooty hosts and hostesses Our party did not feel welcomed at all by the hostess who said we would have to pay per plate for a surprise birthday cake we tried to bring in and who looked at us like we were paupersnnOnce we got past Cruella DeVil I ordered a Lycheetini from the bar Loved it and would have ordered more but wanted to save room for the foodnnWe were escorted into an elevator which took us up to the restaurant I was impressed by the modern Asian decor Our waiter and bussers was very attentive and never was a sake glass empty I ordered their special California roll freshwater eel roll and adobo chicken roll The food was good but the atmosphere and ambiance is what you pay fornnBased on the lumpia pancit and adobo on the menu I assume the chef is Filipino One of the staff asked if I was related to the chef Did not know all Filipinos were related nnnThe restaurant lives up to its name The Social House is the perfect place to spend time with friends enjoy some authentic sushi and get tipsy on good sake If they would only get rid of the snotty hostesses
