Mori Japanese Steak House

I have been here before, and it is not on my most memorable experience list. I went this last week with a visiting friend and was more prepared for my evening. This was on a Thursday night about 7 pm and the Hibachi side of the restaurant was less than half filled. The other side of the restaurant was empty. One day I will sit over there and see what the menu has to offer. <br> We were seated as the first guests around the grill and given average service while we seemed to be waiting for tthe other chairs to be filled.

Being on the Atkins Diet, I ordered steamed rice, less tempting, and also asked for no salt.

I find the food tastes so much better if it is not drowned in sodium!! <br> This time there was no show with the cooking. I was a bit disappointed as my friend was when he spoke his few halting Japanese phrases and discovered that no one understood them. We found out that most of the staff was Korean!! The food was good, the problem with this sort of reataurant is that as each food is cooked, it is put on your plate, so if you eat fast, there is no integration. The other problem with this sort of restaurant is that your fellow diners are right there in your face, so to speak with their cell phones and high-pitched giggles. <br> I would come back again, but again Iwuld have to come with someone else who REALLY wanted to come here. less
