Poor Service Yakiniku place in Akasaka (赤坂大関 (アカサカオオゼキ))


  • Restaurant Name: 赤坂大関 (アカサカオオゼキ)

  • Tabelog link: It gets a 3.74 / 5 stars.

  • Food: Overpriced. Good ventilation. The charcoal grill works well, with an adjustable mini-furnace door to control the oxygen flow.

  • Service: 1/5. Besides slow service, listen to this: Bill comes to 26K, which is way above our expectations. We calculate it to 17K and tell the waitress. 10 minutes pass and no waitress. We go downstairs to discuss. She's there, and hands us the adjusted bill to 17K. No apology is given. I hand her 20K. She hands me a few coins.I extend my hand to her for more. She asks, "Oh, you want a receipt"? I say, "NO - 2,000 Yen!" She unapologetically gives the 2,000 yen.

Flight problems

A bit discomforting when I took my flight to Taiwan, and the emergency breathing supplies kept popping down from above a passenger's seat. Japan was impressive in gettin 4-5 technicians on the plane in about 10 minutes, but it took about 15 for them to fix it...

Taiwan Taxis

Taiwan taxis are cheap and nice. Here's a few examples of a Nissan Maxima (always with leather inside)
