Tuna Town in HB- horrible service

i visited tuna town in huntington beach this past weekend with some friends. 3 of the 4 of us arrived and were seated in about 30 minutes. it is an extremely loud place (owned in part by a member of the band Korn)...they constantly blast hard rock and some rap so don't bring your grandma here. when we were seated, the other friend called and said she was walking down main street and would join us in 2 minutes. the waiter came by to take a drink order and we said we would wait for our friend...his literal words were "why do you need your friend to decide on a drink. that is my pet peeve". what a horrible start!

she arrived 2 minutes later and we all ordered our drinks, which took 15 minutes to recieve. i ordered Michael's Special Poke Salad for my entree ($14) and so did 2 of the other girls. after we had waited for 10 minutes the waiter came by in all of his glory and said that michael was busy and our salads would be another 30 minutes...he did not offer to let us change our order and didn't offer some edamame or miso soup to save us from starving. i really couldn't beleive only michael could make the salad- what happens when he needs a day off?

when the salad did arrive, it was very good. a huge mound of dark green lettuce was topped with sashimi (tuna, salmon, octopus, white fish, etc) avocado, and pickled carrots, in a light asian sesame style of dressing. it was a great value for $14. unfortunately, the service did not get any better. the sad thing is i have eaten here before and had another waiter who gave equally bad service. i asked if she could box up my food and she never returned with it...even after i asked twice! that time i had the sushi dinner ($20) which is more food than most can eat. it comes with salad, miso, rice, 8 pieces of assorted sushi, and a large cali roll. pretty good bang for your buck and the sushi is solid.

so, the choice is yours...is the food worth the terrible service? with all of the good sushi restaurants around, i am thinking not.
