text: OFFENSIVE Tonight I had the most offensive and unprofessional experience at Yasu I will never ever go back and I would only recommend it to someone I hatennA group of four of us arrived at Yasu for our PM reservation and were seated promptly We chatted for a while as water and other beverages were brought out and we went ahead and ordered the chefs choice menu so we could see the best of the best that Yasu had to offer I have had great experiences with chefs choice at Yen Pure and a number of places in Boston so I expected the same from YasunnWe entertain ourselves for a while until the first course arrives kumamoto oysters with uni and roe Great play of textures and flavors Kudos Plates are removed and now we are getting excited sashimi must be coming next and we are ready for it The special fish selections of the day looked fantasticnnAbout minutes goes by and we get our second course red snapper carpaccio it is seared and served at room temperature One of my pieces had i do not know tendon or something that made it unyielding to my chopsticks and frankly the temp of this dish was iffy Flavors decent but this is not the mass quantity of sashimi or nigiri I was anticipatingnnThe restaurant starts filling up I see a massive plate of rolls come out of the kitchen and I nearly squeal with gleeuntil I watch it come to rest at another table This starts happening at a regular pace and then I realize it is been a full minutes since we have had anything at our table A server comes by so I ask when the next dish will arrive She mumbles something about the chefs choice taking a little longer than other orders and walks awaynnAnother cooked plate A gross mushroom custard a single shrimp on a skewer an th of a cup of japanese eggplant in red miso sauce a shard of spanish mackerel with some sort of puree and two bits of jumbo clam Everything tastes fine but we are OVER the cooked plate situationnnYet ANOTHER minutes goes by No server nor manager comes to apologize for the delay We watch literally dozens of delicious looking rolls nigiri and sashimi fly out of the kitchen to other tables We also watch other couples come in after us eat loads of food and leave before us We are still hungrynnNext courseClams in miso broth We are not offered spoons for the broth We look at each other thinking we ARE at a sushi restaurant are we not but go ahead and eat the clams When the server comes by and asks how it is we tell her that we hope the next course will begin the actual SUSHI part of this dinner She says yes we are having live scallopsnnAbout more minutes pass and I am starting to vibrate with righteous indignation We are clearly paying a fucking fortune for this meal and we are receiving terrible treatment The live scallops are boiling in miso broth over a minicharcoal grill They are so overcooked they are RUBBERY We hurry to get them off the coals and into our mouths before they are completely ruinednnFinally we tell the server that we are going to have to INSIST on getting some raw fish on the table She says that is what is coming next Next meaning ANOTHER minutes later We wait so long that finally we tell the server we are NOT going to continue with this absurdity and that we want the check oh your next course is ready we do not want it We want to leave These are the exact words out of our mouths Instead of bringing the check she brings the plates telling us that Chef Yasu wants us to have them We all resist and the plates are set down anyway and finally our hunger makes us cave and we eat We have now been at Yasu for TWO AND A HALF HOURS We have had five courses that were not enough for two people much less fournnAnother minutes pass before the check arrives In that time the manager has come out not to rectify the situation or apologize but to call us ignorant and classless He literally looks at us and accuses Have you ever had omakase before It is always slower We look at him and tell him in all of our sushi eating years we have never had an experience akin to this We also point out that we were expecting SUSHI as in RAW FISH He tells us we told the server we would eat anything I asked him if the name of his restaurant was Yen SUSHI Bistro and he looks at me puzzled Then I see that we have been charged for the last course that we TWICE tried to send back I speak to the manager who tells me if Yasu wants to charge you for it he will charge you for it I kid you not All in all each course was mercilessly overworked only average and Yasu is on a major ego trip Do not waste your time and money here
