Came here for lunch with my sis arnd 12:30! (remember to make a reservation! The place is usually packed)She ordered a sushi+grilled cod set, (~$150) which was very goodThen I ordered the "Joe's Special Salad" ( has fish cake, crab roe, shrimp, cucumber, avocado, home made mayo listed as ingredients.) When my order came, it was OBVIOUSLY a simple crab roe salad (a not v special hai jee salad). The fishcake, shrimp and avocado were nowhere to be found . So i informed the pregnant waiter, at first

When my order came, it was OBVIOUSLY a simple crab roe salad (a not v special hai jee salad). The fishcake, shrimp and avocado were nowhere to be found . So i informed the pregnant waiter, at first, she told me like i was an idiot that: "the shrimp etc are mixed into the salad"
Reluctantly, like educating a kindergarten child, I had to take the salad apart n show her that there was no shrimp! no fishcake! and no avocado! She was finalllly convinced, and brought the salad bk to the FeiJai cook on the far left of the Sushi bar when u enter the place...
The WORST possible response he gave bk to the waiter who told him abt the missing ingredients was "Hai gum ga laa" and directed the waiter to return the salad.
Not wanting to fuss on a pleasant fri. lunch..... i simply canceled my order.
That so-called cook def. did a gd job at making me look down on him!
I mean I'd still go back, and I've liked to dine at Tokio Joe despite the smelly oil stench on ur clothes every time after u dine there.....but seriously his behavior should not be left unnoticed...whatever, just don't order Joe's Special Salad, it's not special, n it only has 2 out of the 6 ingredients it says it has.
happy dining!
