Tokyo

sushi...Mmmm...love it....

sushi is difficult...you can't just get it anywhere, and me, I have to be in the mood to eat sushi.   sushi can also be expensive, and if you follow my blog, you know me, I like to be thrifty when it comes to eating out!  Tokyo isn't known for its spectacular service, or its ambiance.  

Tokyo is my go to sushi spot.    AND!! Now that they are on restaurant.com....I will be more frequently in the mood for sushi ;)

My brother and I decided to catch up over sushi last night.....he was very irritated by the booth we were sat in because it was crooked (I think it was crooked because the building itself, floor and all is crooked) but nonetheless he was irritated....I was irritated that I forgot my bottle of BYOWine on the counter in my kitchen...grr

As I put the Restaurant.com certificate on the table (like the instructions say--I am a rule follower by fault)--my brother swiftly wisks away the cert and says "Don't show that to them yet, we'll get even worse service!!"

geez...I mean really how bad can the service get?! (disclaimer, this is the only restaurant I will repeatedly return to despite the bad service).

After an appetizer of Edamame, we ordered an assortment of rolls:
Tango Roll
Rainbow Roll
Crazy Roll
California Roll
Philly Roll
Dragon Roll

I would have given better descriptions of each roll, but even I myself couldn't rename all the ingredients,  all I know is that they are delish. Trying to look up the menu online (which doesn't exist on their website, because they don't have a website) this was the best I could find, and short of flipping my laptop over -- these menus are posted online upside down: http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/41/451644/restaurant/East-Side/Tokyo-Providence

Once the server came to clear our plates and drop our check, well he got that Restaurant.com certificate....and he snickered through his teeth.  Hey buddy, guess what, if you don't like getting people into your restaurant and using them, then cancel your Restaurant.com subscription!!!

sushi: A+
service: D+

I will return though :)
