Wasabi Hibachi Restaurant E. 79th

"The place is a dump and the young guy behind the counter was extremely rude. He never properly greeted me and his attitude was nasty. I ordered a beverage with my meal that I never received. This is a prime example of another asian establishment in a black community that then treat their paying customers as if they are doing us a favor by having a business in our communities. He literally snatched my card and walked away from the window. When my order was finished he pushed the bag in the window and said nothing. I asked him for my beverage. He began to argue with me about what he did not hear me say at the beginning of my order. I Asked several times for my beverage but he was more intent on arguing. I am writer and journalist for various media outlets and I will definitely be getting the word about the stigma between Asian and black culture in minority communities and this establishment will be the highlight of these publications. It is a shame because less than a mile away is Asia town/Mid-town and the relationship between Asians and Blacks in our diverse community is very positive. We are set on building bridges between the cultures. But this establishment is actually setting our community back. I will NEVER be back to this business and I will also being pushing for the health department to shut this hole in the wall down. In response to the "Owner": Thank you for your prompt response. I am also going to consider your response a threat since you have implied that having my personal information gives you some type of leverage. So now, your response feels criminal. So I will be contacting the authorities at this point. And if i have any issues with my personal information, they will know exactly where to look. I can see by your other responses to reviews similar to mine, that you lack any obvious standard of integrity and professionalism. So reporting and researching on your establishment will be a cake walk. The evidence of your threats and harrassment of other patrons are clearly laid out on every review you've responded to. I have taken the liberty of taking screenshots as well."

"Great food, especially for the price. Great take out place for lunch."

"I got the salmon with rice. Portion of salmon was paper thin, dry, and crispy, even my dog wouldn't eat it. Don't waste your money."

"Very rude, very racist experience. Try to encourage the Clark to speak before he took my order I said hello to him several times he stared at me and stated that he did not have to speak to you People. I assured him that I was getting ready to place a large order that he was going to miss he repeated that he did not have to speak because he did not want to. His store is completely empty no one has been here the entire time in a very busy plaza. No one should waste their money with this establishment"
