"CALL BEFORE to make sure they are still open and in business! I wanted so bad to try out Mandala 's today, but it seems that they may be shutting down. I recently moved within <1 mile, so I decided to walk there so that I could have lunch at 11 am (when their website and sign on the door say that they open) before my appointment at Finley 's at noon. When I arrived at 11 am, the door was locked. I stood there for 10 minutes, knocking on the door every 2-3 minutes. Finally, at about 11:10, a guy came out and told me that they were closed. I asked him if he meant that they were closed for the day or permanently. He said that he didn 't know and that no one was here, including the manager, and that he was just a worker. I ended up having sushi next door. When I went to Finley 's, I asked what 's the deal with Mandala 's? Their exact response was it 's so sad, because their food is great, but it is almost ALWAYS empty and they suspect that it is closing down. I hate to say it, but the attitude of the guy who finally opened the door confirms my suspicion. He couldn 't even confirm whether they would be open at all today. In addition, not only was there no manager, but there were no servers, bartenders, or other staff present. I honestly feel bad for them and would love to give them another chance. Some simple things like posting something on their door and website saying we will be closed today or opening at a specific time would have sufficed. Making someone knock on the door for 10 minutes before someone finally came out to say they are closed just isn 't cool."
