shabusen yakiniku house restaurant

this restaurant has some of the angriest waiters on the face of the earth. the kind that roll their eyes when you ask them for something for the twenty-third time (because they keep forgetting or ignoring), or when the general cacophony of the place makes you repeat yourself more than once. they are also the kind to audibly mutter "fuuuuck" when wandering around. swell guys who clearly like what they do for a living.

i didn't go for the famous all you can eat special, but had some oshinko rolls and vegetable gyoza. the food was yummy, and gyoza had a pleasant burningness to them. spicy! tasty stuff.

i'd go back for the sheer amusement of trying to make the waiter freak out on me. also for the delicious food.

the only real drawback was the heavy smoke from the charred meat grills at each table. i think the waiters are all so angry because they are dying slowly from the vast cloud of carcinogens in the place. or perhaps it is the nine million overly demanding customers who swarm the restaurant to gorge out on cheap sushi. only their therapists know for sure.

this eating experience was enjoyed at the 2993 granville location.

ps: happy bidet stephen.
