On my most recent visit, the restaurant was very busy, yet the service was surprisingly quick. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and upscale perfect for a dinner date or a special night out.

I have had the pleasure of visiting this establishment twice before, and each time, I left…read morethoroughly impressed by both the service and the food. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was not as positive, and I found myself disappointed--though not due to any major issues. When I arrived at 11 a.m., right as the restaurant opened, there seemed to be adequate staff and they certainly weren't too busy to pay attention to the two tables dining at the time. I have no issue with staff taking a moment to chat, but I wish they had focused a little more on the guests who were dining. We ordered green tea, which is served in a metal teapot. The protocol is that if one person orders it, they receive the teapot, and if two people order it, they get one teapot to share. However, what surprised me was that despite finishing our tea, no one came by to offer us a refill. It would have been nice for someone to ask if we wanted more, especially given that we had finished the first pot. I also ordered the vegetable udon, hoping for a flavorful dish filled with fresh vegetables. Sadly, when it arrived, it lacked any vegetables and was quite bland. The overall taste was underwhelming, which was disappointing, as I had expected better. I pushed the plate to the side, indicating that I wouldn't be eating it. No one noticed. My plate was hardly touched, and not once did any staff member, including what I presumed to be the manager based on his demeanor, come over to inquire about my meal. He passed by my table at least three times without asking if everything was okay. I would have appreciated the opportunity to provide feedback. While I must say that everything else I tasted, aside from the udon, was delicious, the lack of attention to detail--such as not offering a refill for my tea and not inquiring about my dining experience--left me feeling neglected. It was truly disappointing to leave with an untouched plate and not a single word from the staff addressing my concerns even after we declined the offer container to take home the meal.

The food was amazing! It's hard to choose from all the options but we managed. It was nice that the menu accommodated a few with dietary needs or preferences (aka, picky eaters, lol ). Some of our favorite dishes: - Takoyaki .... yum! - Gyoza - Crab Rangoon Rolls: - Sweetheart (tuna) roll was delicious and was the winner overall! - Fire tuna roll - Lava roll - Nigiri and sashimi We also ordered regular rolls like the Alaska roll and spicy yellow tuna. Not a single piece of sushi was left over and everyone was quite satisfied ! Definitely a place to go for anytime you want sushi, and especially if you're celebrating a special occasion. The restaurant looks very nice and clean and service is great. The menus are large but don't give an explanation of what things are (such as takoyaki = octopus ) but it was all delicious.

I understand that tipping is something everyone expects- but it isn't required if i didn't like the service or food experience. However it doesn't give our waiter the right to chase us down in the parking lot and demand a tip. Very uncomfortable knowing that this is what the establishment trains their employees to do. Not everyone is as nice as I am when they have people running towards them and their car! UNSAFE AND UNPROFESSIONAL

There were just a few tables in use when we arrived around 6pm, so the staff sat us fairly quickly in the side dining room. Saving our calories for dinner, we ordered waters and proceeded to look over the menu, where the first thing we noticed were the prices, and hoped the portions were going to be huge! My son ordered a noodle dish, while I got the pork red curry. Before tip, our total was $40.02, which is definitely on the pricy end! In short order our food arrived. While it looked great and tasted very good, we were both disappointed at the modest portion sizes. As my son put it, "I cannot believe we spent $19 each on a meal that left me still feeling hungry afterwards." Likewise service felt pretty uneven, with only a few checks being made on us, and even fewer refills on our waters. PROS: nice presentation, very good taste CONS: pricy, meager portions, uneven wait staff service Overall, we found Thai Essence to be Good Enough, and would return.
