A Nashville woman went to a $65 omakase experience that she said was one of the most frustrating restaurant meals she\u2019s ever had.<\/p>\n
TikTok<\/a> user Yoojin (@yoojin.ie) posted a video about the meal on Oct. 9. \u201cBe careful about omakase places that might lure you in with a promo code or discount but end up not honoring it\u2014even after calling them out,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Yoojin explains that she and her boyfriend recently visited a Nashville omakase restaurant, which she leaves unnamed, after seeing it advertised on Instagram as 12 courses for $65. \u201cAnd they were running Instagram ads that had promo codes that brought it down to $55,\u201d she says. \u201cI swear, I\u2019ve seen those promo codes everywhere. But I\u2019ve learned that when things sound too good to be true, it\u2019s probably not worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n The first red flag appeared when the couple had to wait 25 minutes past their 7:30 p.m. reservation. \u201cOne thing about omakase is that they run really strict time slots,\u201d Yoojin says. \u201cWe got seated at 7:50 p.m.\u2014which is insane to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n Another issue Yoojin and her boyfriend had with the service is that the hostess asked them multiple times to purchase an alcoholic or non alcoholic beverage with their meal. Yoojin said her boyfriend drove and she wasn\u2019t interested in drinking alcohol, but declining once wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n \u201cAsking us throughout the entire omakase experience was unnecessary,\u201d she says. \u201cI did have to cave in and I got the one non alcoholic drink they had. Which was really good, but it just left a bitter taste in my mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n Yoojin also objected to the a la carte menu prices, which she says range from $16-$30. \u201cSo, a $30 price point for one piece of sushi, which is practically half the price [of the full meal], is just insane,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Yoojin says she was \u201ckind of pushed over the edge\u201d when the hostess approached the couple with the bill \u201cin the middle\u201d of the meal. \u201cSo she has her tablet and she asks us if we want to close our tab or pay,\u201d she says. \u201cEven when she was doing this, the chefs, I could literally hear them say to each other, \u2018What is she doing?\u2019 So I guess this wasn\u2019t normal, but we ended up just paying.\u201d<\/p>\n The final insult came with the receipt. \u201cThat\u2019s when we noticed the promo code wasn\u2019t applied,\u201d she says. She brought it up with the hostess on her way out, but says the hostess told her she couldn\u2019t help them since they\u2019d already paid the tab.<\/p>\n Yoojin asked the hostess to call her manager, and the couple left their contact information with the hostess so that the manager could follow up. \u201cI\u2019m making this video because it\u2019s been a week and a half later and we actually haven\u2019t heard anything back,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unfortunate that the service was so lacking, because Yoojin says the sushi itself was fine. \u201cI thought everything was great except for one piece,\u201d she says, the wagyu uni. \u201cI think it\u2019s just the hostess that kind of ruined the experience.\u201d<\/p>\n In the comments section, viewers reacted to the story and offered advice on how to handle the situation.<\/p>\n \u201cOmakase in Nashville does not sound appealing,\u201d wrote one skeptical viewer.<\/p>\n \u201cYou should\u2019ve called to follow up, but they should\u2019ve too, obviously,\u201d said a second person.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe fastest way to get a refund is leaving a 1-star review,\u201d said a third person. \u201cAlso, I wanted to try this place, too, but I was skeptical.\u201d<\/p>\n Multiple commenters suggested that Yoojin is talking about Sushi by Bou, which advertises a 12-course omakase experience for $65. And Yelp reviews<\/a> for the restaurant seem to back up Yoojin\u2019s complaints about the inconsistent service and pricey a la carte menu. However, others praised the ambience and said they had no problem redeeming the promo code.<\/p>\n All Hip Hop contacted Yoojin via email and Sushi by Bou via website contact form for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\nWhat Happened at the Nashville Omakase Restaurant?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
