Service was great as before, there was quite a delay in making my drink, a "terminal B sling" - seemed like there was some issue with who was allowed to make the drink or maybe with the recipe as I got my chicken appetizer way before my drink. There was a tall young black woman who was walking around and seemed to be in charge (working at 1 pm dec 3rd) and she eventually made my drink, apologized for the wait, and was very nice and made sure I liked the drink. The drink was advertised as having fresh raspberries and it did which I appreciated! A lot of typical airport places use premixed ingredients (sweet and sour mix for example) so I was happy to see fresh fruit in a drink.
Last time I reviewed this restaurant the chicken was too bland but I liked it, especially when dipped in soy sauce. This time it was too spicy! The spice was overpowering for me. I'm sure others would enjoy it. The condiment it came with was tasty - menu says it was a yuzu-Mayo sauce. I usually hate mayo, but it tempered the spice.
I wish they used seaweed for at least some of their Maki rolls, or as an option. This restaurant was recommended by several articles online as a place to get sushi, but I find that sushi with soy paper is good in certain cases but definitely lacking when the other ingredients don't have a ton of flavor. I didn't order any sushi this time as none of the options sounded good.
Four stars with the caveat that the four stars is within the context of airport restaurants. I don't think this restaurant is amazing, but I consistently see great employees who care about providing a good experience, and they are clearly trying to create a good menu. Effort counts for a lot and I would definitely come back! Whoever is in charge of hiring is doing a great job :)
