The first thing is that they had designated parking in the lot which was great. The restaurants aesthetic matches the name for sure. We were greeted when we walked on and were seated quickly. For appetizers we ordered purple yam fries and the seaweed salad. The purple yam fries were okay it could have used some type a dip to enhance the flavor. The seaweed salad was good and not slimy like other places. The pork katsu was really good! The thickness and light breading was just the way I like it. The curry was flavorful as well and had a mild kick to it. We will definitely be visiting them again since I love pork katsu and it's close to where we live.
Overall, it was just an okay experience. It wasn't bad, but I just didn't love it. The music was way too loud, so it was hard to have a conversation. And the server seemed very overwhelmed even though the restaurant wasn't even half full. They were kinda slow to bring out the food. And i really had to flag her down to get the check. Even after she acknowledged me, she went and did a lot of other things before finally bringing our checks. The food was good but not my fave. The bowls were on the sweeter side. Ochazuke had a very small piece of salmon, very misleading from the picture on the menu.The okonomiyaki was pretty good. And the edamame was very garlicky and flavorful. The shrimp was good as well. But if i could be honest, i probably won't return.
First time at Yokushi Robata, it's a funky eclectic restaurant located on Richmond Ave in Houston, TX. Lots of large pieces of wood in the restaurant including interior, table and chairs. The decorations are very colorful and eye-catching. Interestingly, they wete playing k-pop in the background. I needed a pre-dinner snack after skipping lunch before a 2 hour fitness class. I ordered shrimp with mango sauce. The shrimp was very nicely cooked so much so you could eat the shell. Little to much mango sauce. I also got a dark meat garlic chicken skewer, which was the stand out. The chicken was tender with the right amount of garlic
Best robata I have had in a long time. Definitely recommend. The full squid was fantastic. Service was fast. Inside looks really cute. One negative thing, the music is horrible. It definitely didn't match the vibe of the place.
Yokushi Robata is a casual dining option for those in the mood for Japanese bites. They offer many dishes you could find in a typical Japanese izakaya such as yakitori, aji fry, and gyoza to name a few. They also have main dishes like rice bowls and ramen. The set up is nice; you can order as you go or order everything at once. Service is kind and efficient. There are different seating options so you could go in a group or dine alone near the grills. My only con is that Yokushi Robata is on the pricier side. It's not an upscale business, and there are other Japanese eateries I would recommend before it. However it's a good place to try out if you are in the area!
Good food in a tough sushi market in Houston. The fried mackerel was a bit different but good. The sashimi good quality. Friendly service , d Don't be scared by dodgy businesses nearby
Katsu chicken ramen. Looked good unfortunately had no flavor. Also took a long time to receive
We came here around 8 pm on a Saturday night. We were lucky and found a parking spot as someone pulled out. We were seated and our food came out quickly. Tho, our main dishes came out before the yakitoris. They told us the yakitoris would take about 15 mins. We came here to eat some comfort food with all of this cold weather going on. The eel is smoked and rarely have bones so it's great to eat in a rice bowl with some pickled veggies without a worrry. The baked curry beef is super comforting and there's rice under the cheese and beef. It was super cheesy and yummy. The bacons and chicken skin was nice and crispy. The Umeshiso Tsukune was good too and had a small sour kick as expected. They were quick and nice. Table was clean and stable. Parking is free but hard to find in front so back up plan is the movie garage across the street in the back.
I am the quintessential sushi lover who can be adventurous and open minded but also, occasionally, make the same choice(s) for comfort's sake. It is fair to say I am not a Poke aficionado, even though most of the same ingredients in sushi appear in Poke. Oftentimes, I just think of the contents in Poke as deconstructed sushi or sashimi. So, to better familiarize myself with the Poke phenomenon, I decided to look up a few places in Honolulu, Hawaii. Three of the places I looked at, all highly rated: 1. Ryder's Poke. 2. Off the Hook. 3. Poke Fix. The way these Hawaiian places make Tuna Poke is really inspiring and, visually, it looks totally different. Now, this is after having already tried both Local Poke and Seaside Poke here in Houston over the years. Of the two, my clear fave, overwhelmingly, is Seaside Poke on the East side. Having known about Yokushi Robata for a while, I decided to check it out recently and order the Ahi Tuna Poke. Going in, I knew exactly what is included in the bowl: Tuna, Seaweed, Cucumber and Mango. So, I called to ask more questions about ingredients and other menu offerings. It just seemed like the staff are kind of on the rigid side of things, and the person who answered the phone made it clear there's no avocado in the Tuna Poke, but you automatically get avocado when ordering either the Hawaiian Sake Poke or the Spicy Salmon Poke. In my view, staff should be more flexible re: adding or subbing ingredients. Regarding the Poke bowl I ordered, It was good, but I always got the feeling it would have benefited from more ingredient options - so I added some extra stuff later at home. I also asked about Tempura Shrimp and the woman who answered the phone stated they don't offer it (Say what!? Haha). Overall, this is a really minimal Poke compared to places in Hawaii that I looked at. At first, I was OK with the minimal style, but as stated above and below, I found myself just wanting more to be included even though I liked the dish. Service was good, overall. Ambience wise, if you think of the decor in an Izakaya, Yoshiuki Robata's decor kind of mirrors that. Personally, I think it is really cool. I did notice only one party dining at a table when I stopped by to pick up my order. Granted, this was before the dinner rush, but, still, not seeing more than two people dining in is a bit of a concern for the business itself. Perhaps it is busier at other times. Parking: Sometimes a challenge. Located Near: Trendy Vegan a few doors down and across the street from Costco. Ingredients in Poke: 1. Plain Ahi Tuna 2. Seaweed 3. Cucumber 4. Mango Added Later at Home: 1. Avocado 2. Minced Ginger 3. Buldak Flakes 4. Buldak Sauce 5. Central Market Roasted Seaweed [Teriyaki] 6. TJ's Everything But the Bagel Salmon It Would Have Benefited From: 1. Masago 2. Avocado 3. Ginger 4. Scallions 5. Spicy Option 6. Nori Strips 7. Less Rice, More Ingredients. 8. Moisture. 9. More Flavorful Tuna 10. Sushi Grade 11. Perhaps some Kimchi
Amazing place. Very quaint and overall nice environment, definitely could tell I was at an Izakaya the moment I walked in. They have a wide variety of food selection to choose from and definitely a place I will go back. This is not the cheapest place, but if you want more variety of Japanese food, Yokushi Robata has good atmosphere, good service, and great food for a reasonable price here in the States.
I like this cozy, Japanese cafe serving up some hot ramen and robata dishes. When first walking in, it feels like you're in Japan with the decor, wooden booths and tables. Sake bottles line up one wall while you get a view of the chef grilling robata skewers against the bar. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and makes great suggestions based on your requests. However, expect to wait a bit on the grilled items if several other tables are ordering them as well. I recommend the robata and ramen here. My favorite are: * spicy tonkatsu ramen * hamachi kama * beef w/wasabi & yuzu skewers * grilled chicken thigh skewers Parking can get crowded here during peak dinner time so be prepared to wait for parking or park in the street behind the shopping strip.
What a wonderful restaurant! The ambiance is perfect and casual. The ramen and rice bowls are delicious and I would order them again. The Robata was okay, a little pricey for only one skewer per order. The service was great and we were taken care of even when the restaurant was packed. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5
Went here to celebrate a friends finishing her post doc. Phenomenal food. Presentation was A+. The staff was so knowledge, kind, attentive, and did I mention the food was OMGood God yum? Don't miss this place. 10/10!
The atmosphere here was pleasant. The customer service was decent. The food were delicious. The best one I had was the potato shrimps. These were all cooked by order so it came out fresh. $17 for the A5 wagyu, it was pretty small but that is about an average price for it since it was so imported. Other than that, I enjoyed my time here. read more

We didn't feel like cooking dinner, so we were in search of something close by. This place is wow. The ambiance is so fun. It feels like you're in a different world. I love it when a restaurant can transport me. We were excited to see all the yakitori options upon seeing the menu. There are lots to choose from. The ones we tasted were flavorful and cooked right. Not dried up or undercooked at all. All the dishes were cooked to perfection. If you're craving a good tapas style meal this place is quite fun. read more
TLDR: A hidden gem that serves up great robata, okonomiayki, and amazing braised pork belly over rice (Yokushi don), all at affordable prices. Better than Izakaya Wa for sure. Yokushi Robata is one of many new Japanese robata/small plate restaurants to join Houston's food scene over the recent years. While only some hit the mark, I can confidently say Yokushi is one that is definitely worth going to. Surprsingly, the highlights here are the things not on skewers. The Yokushi don and okonmiaki are must gets, and definitely far surpass many japanese places that charge much more for them. The Yokushi don is a huge portion of sliced braised pork belly, sauce and some Japanese pickles, over a bowl of rice. The meat is cooked perfectly, and literally melts in your mouth. Honestly, I would come here alone and just get this dish for a quick and filling lunch. However, if you're here with anyone else, I'd highly recommend the okonomiaki as well. The pancake itself is cooked perfectly, and the cabbage retains a good amount of crunch still, pairing great with the thick slabs of bacon laid over top. A great shareable dish that surpasses that of Shun. The robata here won't blow your mind, but its definitely not bad. Everything from the pork belly to the chicken gizzards is well cooked and well seasoned. I personally enjoyed the bacon wrapped quail egg, but really everything tasted pretty good. Based on price, this place deserves five stars. Next time you're dining on a dime at Oishii but the line is too damn long, like always, head down the street to Yokushi Robata, you won't be disappointing. read more
First time here after YouTube put a Japanese okonomayaki video in my feed. Because we live in the world's greatest eating city I went to Yelp and looked up that word in the search field and found this place. One thing about teppanyaki is that it's a cultural eating experience. You order a beer or sake and eat essentially, Japanese tapas. Many of the little dishes are like $5 and cheaper, larger ramen bowls are $10-16. People said the service was slow on reviews??? Wtf? Not even...we got great service as we were a table of 8. We ordered an okonomayaki and split it at the table. It was devoured in minutes. Everything we ordered was perfect. My wife ordered a sauteed pork cutlet that was swimming in the sauce it was cooked in and stuffed in a Peking duck spongy bun. It was EPIC!!! This is a new goto place for us. read more

You get a great bang for your buck here and get to choose your portions which I really enjoyed. The ramen was delicious and very filling and the chicken skewers were so tender and delicious. Will be coming back soon! read more
We went on a Sunday evening as a party of 9 and were seated immediately. The restaurant is very cute and small and well decorated. For people who are hungry hungry I definitely recommend the big plates such as udon, ramen or rice Don to fill up on and then snack on the skewers. Great place to definitely grab tapa style bites and drinks with friends. read more

Robata - is basically means grilling/cooling over charcoal fire. This technique is very common in Japan streetfood. I came here with some friends for some snake and drink. And yes, I always look at Yelp reviews before I came. It's such a cool vibe in the restaurant. The decorations and cozy space make it feels somewhat in Japan. Some reviews said romantic (I'm not so sure about that ) Didn't expect much about food, since there are so many places like this in houston. So We ordered some very basic skewers, and it blew my mind!! With some hot sake, perfect for a chilly night. The food was excellent so we ordered some of the unique items include the Wagyu A5 and it's so worth it. We dine a little late till they closed so I guess the service was ok. They try to rush out of there it seems. But over all, definitely coming back. read more
I came here on a weeknight and got seated right away. The staffs were friendly. I like tapas places because you try a lot of items. Spicy hotate avocado (4/5) Baby octopus (4/5) Chicken skin (2/5) - tasteless and had a weird smell Beef tongue (2/5) - chewy Gyoza (3/5) Baked curry beef rice (4/5) Okonkmiyaki (3/5) Pork katsu (3/5) - a little dried Creme brulee green tea (0/5) - please take this off the menu. It was bitter, cold and hard. However, they said it's not ice cream, so what could it be? They were nice enough not to charge us because we sent it back. Overall, it's an okay place. read more
My friend suggested this place for dinner and I actually had it bookmarked so I was excited to finally go. They had a sake on the board listed for their special (it was more than we could imbibe) so we asked for the smaller bottle and they were out. The skewers here are pricy. More than anywhere in Chinatown. I opted to just get one thing skewered (bacon wrapped scallops that were divine). My main dish was the nikku beef rice bowl and it was so good! Very flavorful, tender, and filling. Our waitress forgot one of my friend's dishes and pretty much left us alone after we received our orders. It was a busy night and they were packed - we luckily got there right before the dinner rush. One thing I didn't like was the temperature. It was blazing hot in there and I was sweating like a pig...also didn't help that we were all eating hot food right off the grill. Other than that, we all had a good experience here and can't wait to come back and try other things! read more

Straws here are so frickin' amazing that I didn't even want to use it. It's not everyday you come across a straw as perfect and nostalgic as this one. Meat on a stick. Meat so good it drowns out the music. Pork Belly with that spicy dust. Enough flavor to want to punch a camel a la Arnold the Barbarian. You watch anime? You ever see that fish on a stick they always eat? It's here. Shishimo? I dunno what it's called but you can't miss it on their menu. Is it a traditional and authentic experience? I'm not sure but given food when you're hungry will always be good and traditional and authentic as it gets no matter where you're from. read more
Surprisingly good! Yokushi Robata is an unassuming little restaurant that my friends and I stumbled across after discovering that Thai Cottage (located in the same strip) had closed for the day. I got the Yokushi Don, a rice bowl piled high with well-marinated, tender pork belly pieces with some pickled vegetables on the side. I was really pleasantly surprised by both the generous portion of meat that they give and the flavor of the sauce. I cannot remember what my friends ordered, but both of them seemed to have enjoyed their meals as well. Would love to come back to try their other small plates and bbq dishes! read more
Dear Chicken, Please forgive me for eating your wings, and your thighs, and your breast (okay that sounds really weird but you know what I mean.) Dear Beef, Please forgive me for poking you with a stick and eating you like you were my last meal. Thank you for being all wagyu aka extra super tender and juicy. Dear Pork, Please forgive me for asking to have you served as a fried pork cutlet over a bed of cabbage. You were delicious. Dear Fresh Fish, Please forgive me for eating you in a bowl with rice, edamame, seaweed salad, mango, and cucumbers. You were so fresh. Dear Jelly Fish, Please forgive me for taking all your tentacles and marinating you in some type of super addictively delicious concoction. You were so crunchy. Amazing chicken, beef, and seafood skewers. Amazing Japanese pancake (get this!!!) Some of the best poké bowls in houston - they do NOT on the fresh fish. Overall, fantastic place for a great meal. The waiters are super kind and attentive. Definitely definitely stop here for a taste of Japan. read more

What a gem. The spicy tonkotsu ramen is satisfying and the yakitori delectable. Remind us of our favorite Izakayas in Tokyo and Sapporo. A definite must try! read more
The odd thing is they don't open until 2PM...but it is totally worth the wait for the afternoon. Early Linner? Check. The Ahi Tuna Poke was the surprise dish of the day for me. It blows Ono Poke out of the water. The sauce is astounding, the tuna has a perfect texture, the mango is a lovely addition, and the seaweed adds just the perfect crunch. Blew me away. Seriously. Best Poke dish I have had. The chicken, beef, and shrimp yaki's were all excellent. Great texture. Not over cooked. Sauced so that it is not overpowering. And lovely to eat. Again. Surprised at how good they were!! The porkbelly yaki was the only one that threw me for a loop. Looked more like pork loin and was a little tough to eat. The ambiance was industrial and the service was good. And I had beer. So I was happy. 4.5 stars. read more
Relatively cheap place for Japanese Skewers! (Although small) Meat skewers start off at $1.95 (i.e. Chicken thigh, chicken breast, etc.) and eventually go to their most expensive 11.95 (i.e. Wagyu Beef from Japan). Variety is great which makes it a suitable place to go in groups for family style so you can order more and split portions on skewers. The meat skewers didn't take long to make and arrived hot. Other than the skewers, I recommend the Japanese Pancake, Potato Shrimp, and Pork Katsu. All three were delicious but I liked the potato shrimp the more than the others because of the combination of crunchy texture. Do it! Service was great. Our server was very patient and nice. He paid close attention to our table and stopped by to ensure that we were good. Expect to pay about $15-25 per person if going the skewer and tapas route. I think this is fair for Japanese skewers. For three people, we ended up paying about $70 after tax and tip. Located across from Costco! Summary: -Stick to the skewers (no pun intended!). They are fairly priced and good! -Great for big groups so you can share and order more of a variety. read more
Another place I was really wanting to like but didn't live up to my expectations. Yelpers you're disappointing me. Granted they have only been open a month, the Japanese population and culture in this area is huge and I shouldn't expect anything less than the best in area. The decore is super cute and trendy. I love the wood look. It makes you think of sake barrels. Or at least that's how I felt. Our waiter took our drink order very promptly but I felt like taking our food order was much less prompt. Folks came in after us and had their food orders taken however it wasn't crowded during lunchtime at all. The menu was strictly their soft opening menu and two of their poke bowls they said they were out of. Fail. I understand that a restaurant wants all their food to be fresh, but for a newly opened a restaurant and just opening for lunch .....they should have been more prepared. Just my two cents. We settled for the beef skewers with teriyaki and the shiitake skewers. Both very good. The Ramen miso not so much. You can definitely find better around town. The obnoxious loud music was blaring all through lunch. Now I am not one who is fluent in Japanese, however going to Japan a few times and knowing a handful of words, the Music definitely did not sound Japanese. More like K pop. Loud pop music during lunch time just wasn't my speed. Let's try this for dinner or late night maybe? I left feeling a little dissatisfied. Probably won't be going back. read more

I've held this place off for awhile, bookmarked for the longest. I finally got to try it and I was surprised at how good some of the stuff were. The layout inside was kind of a traditional look, they had these small wooden stools and table that went with their whole theme going on. It's a pretty quick casual place to grab a bite! Everything was of course cooked robata style, mostly on skewers, all fresh and great. I couldn't complain on any of the dishes. Some meats were bland, but nothing spicy mayo or teriyaki can't fix Ika Yaki - A plate of fried squid legs Chicken Skin - Twirled onto the skewers! Pork Belly Avocado w/ Teriyaki sauce! Bacon w/ Quail Eggs Lamb Chop - not gamey at all. Beef Tongue - thicker than usual but good The service was fast and the food came out pretty quick, everything was just quick in and out. I definitely would recommend this place! read more

Hmm let me start off with the few pros: 1. it's walking distance from where I stay. 2. Food came out hot Cons: 1. Waitstaff were non-attentive. Wasn't even greeted upon entering and was only showed to our table after getting eye contact and pointing to an empty table. 2. It took forever to get our food. Once we finally received something, the fried chicken- kaarage, we started eating that. 5 mins later we received our white rice. By the time we finished this I got my grilled zucchini. I then canceled my Beef skewers as I was full and we had already been waiting over 40 mins for it. 3. The food was subpar at best. Would not recommend this place based on the quality and taste of food. read more

This place needs a good cleaning the tables are sticky the windows are gross. The server was barely civil but the gross window with old food grime wins the one star review also lower the base on your music system feels like I am sitting in a night club not a little restaurant. read more
Chic interior. Friendly staff. Counter seating. A couple big screen TVs on the walls. Yeah vet all good pacing on the speed of when dishes came out. Might've been bc I sat at the counter so the chef could see when I finished a skewer. I generally stay away from menu items that don't appear to be the restaurant's specialty so I stuck to ordering skewers. Each order is a single skewer. YAKITORI Cherry tomato with bacon | juicy burst of flavor of tomato finished with the smoky, fatty goodness of bacon. Simple but tasty. Beef with Wasabi and Ponzu sauce | delicious. Thought this combination might be bizarre on beef but it works. Tender, flavorful, nicely seasoned. Chicken skin | very crunchy and crispy. Texture of chicharron. Not bad. Beef tongue | served with a wedge of lime and shichimi togarashi on the side. Thick slices. Tender. Pretty good overall. Okonomiyaki | airy actually. I'm used to thicker and denser okonomiyaki. Not a bad thing. Also, more eggy in flavor. Also not a bad thing. The one complaint I have about it was that it was charred, burned black on the bottom which I don't mind a little bit, but this was on the too much end where it tasted burned. But this was mostly in the middle. The edges were great. Flavor was great outside the burned areas. I also appreciate they brought this at the end of the meal in true Japanese fashion to fill up the customer AFTER they've had a chance to taste the higher end items on the menu with a fresh appetite. Overall, happy with the meal. Great service. Okay parking depending on the time you get here. A little over $20 not including tax is quite reasonable for this kind of meal. Would come back and would recommend. read more
3.5/5 Skewers - Chicken thigh (3/5): a-okay, nothing special - Pork belly (4/5): I liked the sour kick on the lime + togarashi - Teriyaki beef with garlic chips (4/5) Salmon poke (4/5) - large chunks of fish, the marinade is more sweet Chicken karaage (4/5) - I liked their twist on their dipping sauce, spicy mayo? + tiny roe. The chicken paired well with the cabbage is was served on. Takowasa (3/5) - more sour than wasabi flavored. The octopus was not fishy read more
I visited this place for my first time for lunch on March 31, 2019. It is located in a small mall and has own parking (limited spots available) but no valet. I didn't have a reservation and I also don't think it would be ever necessary. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu contains a lot of starters and only limited main course options. I did choose a ramen soup which can be seen on the photos attached. It was actually pretty good and not overly spicy. The interior is basic but clean. I had these soups at many different other places and I can't really say if this was much better or not. The variety of the starters looked very good though, I just didn't have enough appetite to try any. I am uncertain if they have a bar and serve alcohol besides sake. I would judge ok for a lunch break but not a high recommendation for a romantic dinner. read more

Amazing place! You know during pandemia a lot of restaurants serve bad quality food and you can be easily poisoned. This place is a different story - very good quality food!

Great choice for Japanese food! They specialize in small plates of Japanese street food (izakaya style). There is also ramens here but we did not try that. The izakaya plates are delicious ! Flavors are on point and very close to food in Japan. Their waygu A5 beef is very juicy , soft and tender. Highly recommend it. We order most of the menu except for the cold plates . read more

Grandly unimpressed. Tried out this place after hearing about it from someone but was ultimately disappointed. First thing I got was the takoyaki which I think is relatively hard to mess up. For some reason they poured out the sauce you normally drizzle on top into a giant puddle on the side of the plate. Once you bite into the takoyaki you'll realize that it's all just starch. There's almost no tako in the takoyaki. The takoyaki is tako-less! Next is the tonkotsu shoyu ramen. Now, I can appreciate all sorts of ramen. I mean, I LOVE ramen. But this just wasn't good at all. The broth just had a really bad pork smell and that just pretty much ruined it for me. The meat was really fatty and mushy & even the egg was flavorless. Ended up not finishing it. read more

Love coming here, their service is always great and the food is always brought to you in a timely manner. My boyfriend and I have been coming here for a couple years and as time has gone on they have added on a few things to the menu and added some decor as well. It's great to see this place is still going strong through the pandemic, it's a hidden gem for sure. Went in the first time thinking it was sushi, but it's small dishes instead..good thing we stuck around and tried it because everything is amazing to eat and perfect portions so you can try as many plates as you want. They've got sake and beer, no cocktails but I think that's just not the style of this place. Still great though!! Def should try it out if you haven't and you're into this type of style of food and vibe. read more

Went here for lunch and it wasn't too busy. Servers were attentive and food didn't take long to arrive. There's a good variety of yakitori and then also randomly poke bowls. They also serve ramen and other random curry dishes. We tried a variety and nothing was spectacular but the only thing we were disappointed with was the asparagus which was a lot smaller than we thought (it did taste good though). I think my favorite was the spicy jelly fish which wasn't that spicy, a plus for me! read more

This place has the best Kakuni Don (they named it "Yokushi Don") I've ever had in a while. Just look at the picture. Do you see rice? I don't. That's how much braised pork belly they topped over the rice. The pork was very tendered, literally melt in mouth. This dish is truly porky heaven. My wife had spicy tonkotsu ramen and she said it was good as well. I also had some yakitori. The chicken skin and bacon wrapped okra were great. Tsukune was alright, it's a little small imo. After all, this was a great meal. We will definitely come back again when we're in the area. read more

Very quickly and easily became my favorite izakaya spot. They got everything right, authenticity, decor, flavor, variety, pricing, what a fantastic restaurant! Everything is good here at a very reasonable price. The baby octopus, tako wasabi, ankimo, grilled prawns, unagi rice balls, bacon wrapped tamatoes, chicken hearts, grilled fish, grilled scallops, chicken negima on a stick, Kobe beef skewers, on and on... The perfect place to grab some hot sake, eat little bites and catch up with friends. The owner is really cool. He handmade all the benches and chairs and fire torched them himself to give that authentic Japanese style. Owner's family owns a sushi restaurant around the area but he ventured out to fulfill his own dream by opening this izakaya. You will not be disappointed in your visit! read more
