I told her my leg was hurting and could not sit at the bar, but she did not care and would not let us sit at the available table (the table was clean, set up and available!). She then told us we would have to wait for another table to open up. I would have understood if there was a waiting list or the table was reserved, but there was no one else behind us and it was not reserved!! We were so upset we left. It made no sense why she would refuse to give us a table that was clearly available but demanded we sit at the bar when I told her I could not. Even the couple that were there who saw the whole incident commented to us that it did not make sense at all. We ended up going to Kohryu and the service and ramen were excellent! I would definitely recommend Kohryu and Shin-sen-gumi over Mentatsu as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559927128534150588.post-80909227471020608842008-04-01T12:36:00.000-04:002008-04-01T12:36:00.000-04:00Wow, I'm very sorry to hear that!

Plus, Mentatsu will surely be a disappointment after being in Japan last week. Well sorry again about your bad experience. Thanks for checking out my blog and hope you still do after that. :)Keizo Shimamotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021292533329876539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559927128534150588.post-39870752736096093352008-04-01T12:12:00.000-04:002008-04-01T12:12:00.000-04:00I just went to Mentatsu yesterday after reading yo...I just went to Mentatsu yesterday after reading your review, and it turned out to be a really bad experience. I ordered the chashumen, and my husband had the miso ramen. Neither were decent. The soup was very bland. The noodles were too soft. The bean sprouts were definitely not fresh. The so-called chashu seemed like overboiled slices of lean pork. It was so bad that we could not finish our bowls. Moreover, they forgot about our gyoza order, so we didn't get to try that. The overall experience was very disappointing, especially having just gotten back from Japan last week. If you're craving ramen in the O.C., I highly recommend Kohryu and Shin-sen-gumi--both are 10x better than Mentatsu (in both food and service).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559927128534150588.post-27748838670101054882008-04-01T02:40:00.000-04:002008-04-01T02:40:00.000-04:00Oh, sorry to hear about Daikokuya.
