Yabi Japanese Steakhouse

I've been to both Kobe's and Ginza so perhaps my expectations were a little too high, however Yabi came nowhere close to the standard that either of these had set. The little things aside (difficult to communicate with the waitress, appetizers not nearly as outstanding) the food was, overall, undercooked. The rice was hard, the veggies were hard, and more importantly my boyfriends fish was a rich, healthy, just plucked out of the water pink the entire way through. When this was expressed to the chef he threw it back on the grill, added more sauce (sending it into sauce overload) and threw it back on his plate. No new fork or plate were even offered. Unless their goal is the kill their customers Yabi Japanese Steakhouse, in my opinion, failed miserably as a restaurant.



Their food is no more inexpensive than Kobes or Ginza, and even though the location is a tad more convenient, I'd rather drive farther for quality food than be stuck with a mediocre meal that I can't finish.
