]]> Comment on Sushi by Cynthia http://www.food4talk.com/food4talk/blog/index.php/2007/07/16/sushi/comment-page-1/#comment-25 Cynthia Thu, 01 Nov 2007 15:29:34 +0000 http://food4talk.com/food4talk/blog/?p=5#comment-25 <p>Yesterday (10/31/2007), I had lunch at TUK (Thai Urban Kitchen) with a friend. I was really excited about a new restaurant in the Ogilvy transportation center. The atmosphere and décor were nice. The food was good. However, our service was extremely slow. We made ourselves feel better by saying our waitress “forgot about us,” but we had to ask for the check and for someone to get our waitress so we could pay. She was equally slow bringing back the change.</p> <p>However, that’s not the most disappointing thing that happened. One of the women who sat next to us found hair in food; hair that didn’t belong to her! As a result, her dining companion was disgusted and couldn’t eat her meal (My dining companion and I were finished with out meal but equally disgusted). Anyway, when she pointed it out to the waitress she was very nonchalant and not very apologetic. When the bill came, they were charged for one meal although no meals were eaten. They agreed to pay for the drinks but not the meal. They were polite and respectful but the manager had to be called over. Finally, their meal was compensated. </p> <p>I thought it was so strange that they would not be compensated immediately with a sincere apology and that they had to call the manager. This definitely turned me off. With all of the wonderful sushi places in the city, I will be hard pressed to go back to TUK. Dining is not only about food. It also is about service, ambiance and dining companions. TUK did not measure up on the service.</p> Yesterday (10/31/2007), I had lunch at TUK (Thai Urban Kitchen) with a friend.
