I went to the Sakuraya restaurant at Anchor Point for lunch. The restaurant has expanded, renovated and is packed. I ordered raw salmon don and kaisen seafood salad. The raw salmon don arrived first and the raw salmon was stale.Next the seafood salad arrived. Each mouthful of seafood salad was like eating a spoonful of salt. I called the manager and told him the raw salmon was stale but that's okay because I am an incredibly not fussy eater. The seafood salad was way too salty and was inedible.T
Next the seafood salad arrived. Each mouthful of seafood salad was like eating a spoonful of salt. I called the manager and told him the raw salmon was stale but that's okay because I am an incredibly not fussy eater. The seafood salad was way too salty and was inedible.
The manager apologised and replied this: The salmon is from the sashimi section of the Sakuraya fish mart occupying the same premises. He suggested I ask that the sauce for the seafood salad is separated the next time so it wouldn't be so salty.
I requested that he send the seafood salad back to the kitchen or at least tasted the seafood salad since it was mostly untouched. I hoped he would be able to come to a conclusion that there was something completely wrong with the seafood salad. The manager ignored my request. From his reply, he implied that the raw salmon which came with the salmon don was the freshest available since it came from the fish mart. In which case I strongly discourage anyone from patronising the Sakuraya fish mart because the sashimi is stale.
From his dismissal and laughter about the plate of salt masquerading as a seafood salad, he implied that the salad was meant to taste like nothing but salt. I'd like everyone to note that you should ask for the sauce to be separated if you order the seafood salad unless you're trying to induce high blood pressure in your fellow diner/enemy so that he/she would suffer a stroke/heart attack. I doubt the salad will be anymore edible with the sauce separated though.
Lastly, tap water is chargeable at $1 a cup. The wet towel is also chargeable. I would never ever dine at Sakuraya again.
