We have been going to Japanese Village for the last 20 years. Has the prices risen - yes. Is it still delicious - absolutely. With rice ask your chef for a side of steak sesame sauce and pour it all over your rice. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. It's the best combo ! I love this place and always will. It's fun and delicious everytime.
The food was excellent, we had steak cooked to our liking. Decor, has not been touched since it first opened. The chair that my partner sat in had foot prints on it. It was noticed by yours truly before he sat down. Bathrooms had dust hanging down from cobwebs on the sealing. The toilet stalls were covered with black hand prints. I have seen gas stations washrooms cleaner than what I expected. This is not recommended a go to place to really enjoy a dinner out at all.
We were very disappointed with Japanese village.It has been a few years since we had gone. We came here to celebrate my Birthday with my friends and so much has changed. NO SHOW, no soup, and no fried rice. The shrimp was limited too.They prices went up which I understand because of economy but their food is sparse. We came here to have fun and it was quite the opposite! It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was half full. The place used to be packed on a Saturday night and now I know why. I even mentioned it to the server why there wasn’t any show and she pretended she didn’t understand me. The way they served you was odd too. Especially when they’re cooking it . It was confusing. We’ll not be going back unless changes are done which I’m not holding my breath.
Really disappointed.For the price and what you get, not worth it.We ordered drinks but then asked for water, the waitress acknowledged me and then never brought water, the salad has to be packaged from a dole, lol not kidding. Had to go up to the front to pay our bill because it was slow. Food was cooked really well, that’s about it.
The food was great, the service was the worst I have ever seen. We had a very tactless server.So my friend and I went there for dinner. Since we were not very hungry we just ordered sushi and one teriyaki chicken to share. The waitress was literally bullying us to order more stuff like “is that all you’re getting??” “You’re not hungry??” as I understand she probably meant that the portions were small but her way of expressing that was soo condescending. She made it sound like we shouldn’t have come if we are not ordering more food. She went on to repeatedly approach us and say that we can’t order again once the food is made (in front of us) we said that we understand that and just ordered extra rice she turns saying “but you have to pay for it” we are like “yes, we realize that” it’s not our first time at a restaurant and obviously if you are ordering extra you are paying extra. When we got the bill, we paid and left the receipt inside the little folder, she yelled at us saying “wait I didn’t get my receipt!!!” We told her it is inside the little book and she opened it and looked at the receipt and had to audacity to say “you didn’t tip me??” Never had such a tactless server ever in my life. The management has to pay attention to who they are hiring. The lady with the glasses was our server and she had no manners whatsoever. Bullying us, condescending and then her entitlement to get a tip. For what? We are both very generous tippers but that lady was never going to get an extra dollar from me.
It has been a few years since we went to Japanese Village. My husband, friends and I were celebrating my birthday. So many things have changed. There was no show. That was the most disappointing. We came here to have fun and it was quite the opposite. No fried rice, no soup. They’ve up their prices and scaled back there food. When I asked the waitress why their wasn’t a show. She pretended to not understand. The shrimp was sparse too. For Saturday night it was half empty. Japanese Village was always busy on a Saturday night and now I know why. We will not be going back unless they changed. Which I’m not holding my breath for. The only reason I gave them a 2 the food at least save my evening.
Worst service ever. Servers literally do not want to provide ANY service. They pretend to not understand your request and not able to provide the service. Sighing and frowning in front of the customer. Not worth your time and energy going there unless if you enjoy being treated like a garbage. Chef No told my friend not beautiful in front of everyone and humiliated my friend.
First time I came to this place was 10 years ago, and it really was the best in the city. I made a visit last week for the first time in a while and cannot begin to explain how hard this place fell off. What I used to order for 50$ is now about 130$ and the service is the worst it’s as if it’s they’re hiding from you in the back. Also the food was way over cooked and dry. How do you keep increasing prices when your standard is dropping I really don’t know. In conclusion, this place is past it’s time you should honestly just go to Gyubee where the quality is legit 10x better.
Five of us went there to celebrate Mothers’s Day after a long Covid winter. It was delicious as always. Our chef was the best. They went over an above and gave each mother a carnation as they were leaving. We are glad you are back up and running!
Just visited today for dinner. Food was great and fresh. We have a group of seven and just did reservation the same day earlier. It is not a busy place at the moment
