Alright so the sushi looked good. First bite seemed weird but I couldn’t tell if it was because the rice was bland. Upon biting into the fifth piece, the mushiness of the fish was enough to tell me that it wasn’t the rice… it was the fish itself being room temperature. Goodness knows how long it’s been sitting out and it’s about 4 billion degrees in here right now. I immediately returned my meal to telling them that they can’t serve that fish to anyone because it’s going to make someone sick. They replaced my order with whatever I wanted so I got chicken and beef teriyaki with rice and lo mein along with edamame. I am waiting for my new meal and praying I don’t get food poisoning. English is not their first language so communication is difficult. At least the grill chef understands better than the owners so he knew exactly what I was talking about and told the owners what was up. Why oh why can’t Waldorf have good sushi and Japanese food!!! Edit: Now that I have my replacement food, still 2 stars. The lo mein is good as is the edamame but the beef teriyaki is way too peppery. They use kikkoman’s teriyaki sauce which you can get from Costco. So, you can replicate this meal at home for far less and know you’re not going to risk food poisoning. Keep moving… nothing to see or eat here…

Lets face it… Asian cuisine in Waldrof is just lacking. BUT Japan express is pretty damn good! I love teriyaki and most of the time I get it in malls. Most of them just don’t do you any justice but Japan express serves you well. I ordered a chicken and beef teriyaki dish before the movies friday and couldn’t have been more satisfied! It was pretty damn tasty and more than filling. Usually places like give you a minimal amount of meat so they can charge you extra. You really don’t need to spend the extra dough because they give you more than enough. Hell my girlfriend and I split the dish and we were both satisfied. Best of all, I only spent about $ 10 with a drink! I will definitely return here in the near future!
