Yokushi Robata

Mom wanted to go to Yokushi Robata for ramen, so off we went.

We happened to arrived a few minutes before they open, but they were not going to have anybody hang around until they're good and ready.

Finally sat down and was able to order.  We started out with Gyoza, it's neither here nor there.  It doesn't taste frozen, but they also doesn't taste like homemade either.

For skewer, I got the pork belly.  Nice and yummy, not too dry not too fatty.  Right on!

This is the Okonomiyaki, which is pancake cooked teppanyaki style.  It has no batter like a pancake, but it has layers of cabbage, with bacon slice-like pork on top, and topped with mayo, bonito flakes and eel sauce.  It's pretty much no batter in it.  It's best shared.  Otherwise, view it as a cooked salad with bacon.  Not bad, but it is pretty rich between the pork and the cabbage.

This time has got to be the worst service we've ever gotten ever since we've been coming here.  As mentioned before, we arrived a little early, the server said they weren't open yet.  Alright, we walked around and came back when their official open time is (which by the way, it didn't say on the door.  It's only later I went on Yelp to find that info, it wasn't even listed on their website).

Anyway, once we came back, she just said sit.  Not sit anywhere, or anything. Then she threw the menu on the table like we were bothering her.  It wasn't just us.  The 2 sets of guests the came after us also got this cold treatment.  Maybe she's having a bad day, or maybe someone was suppose to help her, whatever, it was just not the best we've seen here.  That is very sad, because food is decent, and we've referred people here many of times.  Now, it makes me leery to even do that.   I'll go back and give them one more chance.  Though, with high reservation.
