Jinja Bar & Bistro

My husband and I tried going to dinner there last night, we show up and the name on the building is gone! It's now called Shan?!? It should be SHAM! The menu has 98 items, that's right we counted- 98 plus a sushi menu. Evidentally they are trying to compete with Amura across the street. They need to cut it down to maybe 25 items and figure out how to cook those properly. The lettuce wraps were mediocre at best. The chicken curry had rubbery chicken in it, and the brown rice that i ordered for $1.50 more was still hard. Save your $ and go elsewhere. It's awful. I give them 3 months MAX! Pros: Can't think of a single one Cons: The whole menu more

After the great write-up in a magazine, I was excited to try this restaurant. Ambience and dining areas were lovely -- BUT we waited 30 minutes without a single server coming up to us to even ask us if we wanted a drink or to take our order. Server finally came and brought water, promsing to return. Never saw him again because after 10 more minutes, we gave up and decided to eat at Amura across the street. Very strange kind of night; it seemed as if all their waiting staff quit or abandoned them. Saw a lot of patrons sitting at empty tables; never saw any food brought out in that time period. It was eery. Poor service is too generous; the correct term would be ""completely absent service"". Amura still holds the warm and fuzzy place in my heart. Pros: Thumbs down Cons: Absolutely no service ever given; had to give up and leave more
