"I wanted to like this place, the sushi/roll was fine and the tempura was okay as well (nothing special but alright for the price) but I ordered an oyakodon and got something that was totally not that.Oyakodon is one of my favorite rice bowl orders at a Japanese restaurant so I know it is usually a breaded cutlet or katsu sitting on a saucy scrambled egg with onion scallion. They served me a pan-seared boneless chicken thigh with a side of cabbage, carrot and radish and a fried egg on top — no sauce either. I was so confused when I got it that I couldn’t even complain. I thought to myself, maybe this is a different type of oyakodon? But as I was eating I also Googled what an oyakodon is just to confirm and there is NOTHING that looks like what I was served. It honestly did not even taste close to any other oyakodon I’d ever eaten. Truly confused, it felt like they didn’t even know their own menu item and maybe hastily searched what an oyakodon was. It would hVe been alright with me if the meal was flavorful but it just didn’t taste like much else than barely seasoned grilled chicken and veggies. I personally hate food waste so I took 2 bites and packed the rest because from the first strange bite I decided I would just turn it into a fried rice at home.On top of that, the service was pretty lackluster. I’m not asking for much but no one ever refilled our waters despite eating there for at least 30-40 mins (this is a big service industry no-no) and it was difficult to get anyone’s attention at all for even asking for the check. I have experience in both a professional kitchen setting and the food service industry and was honestly disappointed."

"I recently visited the Bites Asian Bistro Thai and sushi restaurant with high hopes, but unfortunately, my experience left me thoroughly disappointed. The quality of the food and the lack of attention from the staff were major letdowns, resulting in an overall unpleasant dining experience.To start with, the nigiri sushi we ordered was far from fresh and warm. The fish and rice tasted bland and lacked the delicate flavor that characterizes a well-prepared nigiri. It was evident that the ingredients were not of the quality, leaving us disappointed and questioning the establishment's commitment to serving fresh seafood.Another major issue was the sushi rice. It was poorly made, lacking the necessary balance of vinegar and sweetness. The texture was subpar, and the rice grains were clumpy and sticky, which is unacceptable for a place that claims to specialize in sushi. It seemed as though the chefs lacked the necessary expertise in preparing this fundamental component of Japanese cuisine.Moving on to the scampi tempura, it was a complete disaster. The shrimp was over-fried, resulting in a bitter and unpleasant taste. The dish was a far cry from the light and crispy tempura that one would expect from a sushi restaurant.To make matters worse, we decided to try the lobster roll, only to be met with a deep-fried monstrosity. Deep-frying lobster is sacrilege in the world of sushi. The delicate flavors of the lobster were completely overshadowed by the heavy batter, resulting in a greasy and unappetizing mess. It was clear that the restaurant lacked an understanding of the delicate balance and subtlety that make sushi such a revered cuisine.What added insult to injury was the attitude of the staff. Despite expressing our dissatisfaction with the food, the lady serving us seemed disinterested and completely ignored our concerns. It is unacceptable for a restaurant to disregard customer feedback, especially when it is evident that the dining experience was far below expectations.As a result of our disappointment and the lack of attentiveness from the staff, we made the difficult decision to leave no tip for the very first time. It is unfortunate that the restaurant failed to meet even the most basic standards of quality and customer service.The table was dirty with grease marks from the cleaning cloth. The AC was either on very low or turned off.In conclusion, my dining experience at this sushi restaurant was an absolute letdown. From the lackluster and poorly prepared food to the dismissive attitude of the staff, there was little redeeming about the visit."
