"I came here a couple days ago— on a Saturday if I’m not mistaken— to try out one of their boba tea drinks. As someone who is completely new to this restaurant, I was asking the girl who answered me at the Drive By questions about the items on their menu. She answered me in such a rude manner and made me feel like an idiot for not knowing certain things about their drinks. For clarity, I asked about the Thai Tea and the Teas in general— if they had caffeine and what kind of teas they used— and she replied saying along the lines of “It’s tea so it obviously has caffeine” and other stuff in just a completely rude manner. I’m not one to take time out of my day to write reviews— especially negative ones— and I understand people have bad days at times but I was just disappointed with the service I was given that day. I don't believe her tone was necessary. Now I’m not sure if the girl who answered me at the Drive By was the same person who greeted me when I pulled up to the front because the girl who took my card and handed me the receipt was nice. Either way, I understand it may have been an “obvious” question but every restaurant is different and I don’t believe there was any harm in me asking and the girl answering me politely. If this is how the workers treat new and future potential loyal customers here, I’m not sure if I will be returning. On the other side, the drink itself was good hence the 4 star on the food review."

"I will start with I did not take into consideration that teriyaki chicken would so drastically change from a Japanese restaurant to a Chinese restaurant (respectfully). So the food I received was correct on their part; however the cook in the back was very unhelpful in trying to make my meal appetizing. The chicken looked extra dried out (wasn’t as dry definitely lacked flavor so sauce was needed), I explained to the cashier what I was expecting after reading over the menu before ordering over the phone. She understood what I was wanting and made the proper suggestion in order to help me enjoy my meal. The chef had a mouthful to say about not wanting to make the sauce so he decided to upcharge me (completely fair, I understand). I declined to pay because I wasn’t going to risk spending more money to potentially not like the food still. I understand he wants to be compensated for his time; however, is that not why an hourly wage or salary is paid? Having over a decade of restaurant experience under my belt, there’s no way I could just charge a customer extra because I don’t feel like making sauce. If that was the owner, he definitely lost a customer for life and I will be oh to happy to spread the word about how he treats his patrons. The saving grace of the evening was the young lady in the front she was very pleasant and understanding."

"Finally tried Light on the Sugar here in Jax! I heard their sister locations that popped up in Orlando first were quite tasty. I’m happy to report the location in the St Johns TownCenter mall is most delectable. Here is what we ordered: Tiramisu, two latte’s (strawberry matcha with oat milk dalgona with whole milk ube cheesecake, and a dark chocolate pistachio tart. Out of all of these options, the ube cheesecake was my favorite. All not overly sweet, or undersweet. If you do try the ube cheesecake, fair warning, it will make you mouth/teeth a deep hue of purple for a few minutes. There were two girls working behind the order counter who had great suggestions of what their favorites were, as well as what the most popular orders overall usually are. There are a few suggestions I didn’t get this visit but looking forward to trying on another visit. (Puffs and macarons I visited in the late afternoon. I do recommend visiting early on if you want a visual of everything they have to offer. I had plenty to pick from but I did notice as people finished early dinner times, it did get quite crowded and less options were available to order on a typical Friday. Light on the Sugar is a bit pricier than other competitor bakeries here in Jax. This isn’t a place I’d frequent too often because it is a pricey treat; but I do think the quality is there. I loved trying this recommendation a fellow yelp elite suggested (thanks Rachel T Light on the Sugar is officially Treat O Clock friendly ; Happy to support local at lil gems like this."

"I 've always loved coming here and getting either the tonkotsu soup or one of the noodle dishes while my kids love the sushi (it 's the best I 've had in town) We usually have the same server, and while it was getting pretty busy she was keeping up okay. The staff is always professional and sometimes when it 's not busy they 'll chat a little bit with me, which is nice. But when I went to cash out today I noticed the waitress looked visibly upset and was staring at the receipt from one of the checkbooks. I asked what was wrong and she admitted that a couple customers had written rude notes on them. One had condescendingly told her to take items they don 't like off their bill next time and the other was berating her for dirty dishes. I asked if it was alright if I could see the names of the customers on the papers but she said that wouldn 't be a good idea and after explaining her side of the story she excused herself to get something from the back. I got a little nosy and decided to take a peek at them while she was away and found both notes, full names on the bottoms. I 'm appalled. I have two daughters and if people were leaving her harassing notes at her place of work I 'd be finding them and raising heck. But I don 't want to get the waitress in trouble so I 'll address Kim and Edward here instead and hope it helps a little bit. Edward C, she doesn 't have the authority to take things off the bill and if she did it anyways the owner would make her pay for it. She lives by herself and doesn 't even have a family. That 's not fair to her. Next time be a grown up and use your words. Ask nicely if the owner can take it off for you. Easy! You don 't need to tell her how to do her job you are not her boss or parent. Kim M, it is not the waitresses job to babysit the dishwasher and make sure they clean the dishes properly. Not that it 's any of your business but that waitress happens to be terminally ill and it affects her vision as well as many other things. So I 'd love to hear an explanation as to how she was supposed to see a little smudge on the dishes. Next time let her know POLITELY so she can address the person who made the mistake. Aka.. not her. I had to move tables btw because I have a dog allergy and was informed you had a dog at the table????? That 's a huge health hazard and is unacceptable to bring to a restaurant. Be more considerate of staff and other patrons next time. Point is: treat your servers with respect. They are people too. It 's not your house or business. And don 't leave rude notes that also have a lot of your personal information on them. Because nosy moms like me are going to call you out on your behavior. Thank you -Sue"
