Awful experience! My date ordered a chicken dish and I ordered sushi. My sushi came ten minutes after her chicken dish was brought out. Also, one of the waitresses continually bothered us about “changing out our soy sauce bottle” which, after I finished my sushi rolls, I informed her that she may. Right as she left the room where we were seated, she made a loud, snide remark to the rest of the wait staff about myself and my date. We asked to speak to a manager and two young men parading as “managers” came out and proceeded to ask us what “we think they should do about it?” All we wanted was an apology, but when the waitress came out to apologize, she said she was only sorry there was a “misunderstanding”. They were so gracious as to offer to take $10 off our bill but later came back, saying that they had already run the card and there was nothing they could do about it. We left insulted and exhausted. Worst restaurant experience ever!

We just ordered take out from Sushi Popo and the service was awesome… Very friendly. The food was ready quickly, the order was correct and we loved our food! We ordered Burnt Nut Chicken, extra spicy!! It was indeed spicy! The Dry String Beans are like a drug and I found myself licking the sauce off the bowl.

Food always takes forever. Usually you are lucky if there are 2 people working. Once we were here 2 hours from beginning to end because of the service taking forever (turned out our waiter ran to the store) we didn’t get our drinks until he came back then when we finally got our food it was wrong. Didn’t get our appetizer at all and the hot tea was cold. Last time we went was definitely the last time. They were out of toilet paper despite having 2 places in the same shopping center selling TP. There were used poopy napkins in the trash. Probably days worth. The smell was horrendous. When I mentioned it to the waitress she was very rude.

Ordered generals chicken for take out. Sauce was watery and the only flavor we could discern was hot pepper. The chicken tasted like it was just fried and then drizzled with water and peppers. Our meals were half broccoli, which is disappointing when you pay $10 a meal. At least the service was nice. Will never be going back though.

Very good sushi and reasonably priced. Vegetable tempura was delicious!

Maybe we went on a bad night but the service was very strange and our food arrived at several different times after a long wait. The waitress couldn’t be friendlier or more accomadating but something must have been awry in the kitchen. We also thought it was odd to sit in a more private room but still have to talk loudly over annoying loud techno music (Balligomingo). Food was average at best. We had to wait at least 25 minutes for simple mochi ice cream balls.

I’ve always had excellent service at Sushi Popo. They’re always kind and prompt. They make a point of learning who their returning customers are, so they know what I drink, which entrees I usually order, and even which table I prefer to sit at. I’ve never had a bad meal, and they’re always able to get me in and out with time to spare on my lunch break.

I suggest that you look for another Asian restaurant and it would be a waste to give this one a try. Very disappointed with the service and experience. To the owner of the restaurant who walked out crying after our complaints about the food and wait, we were just trying to have a conversation with you as none of us have ever been unsatisfied when it is so expensive. All of the sauces were watered down, the teriyaki tastes like beef broth, the meals all came at different times and with no flavor. I understand you tried very hard, but we tried very hard to like it by using different sauces. We are sorry that we made you sad, but not sorry about speaking up. I really hope you make some changes because right now this is #sushipoopoo

THIS IS SUSHI POO POO DO NOT EAT HERE. the service is very slow and terrible. It took us a hour to get our food…… the sauces were watered down and the rice was mush. Everything in the place was dirty and smelled funky. We addressed the owner about the issue she was rude to us and didn’t know how to approach the situation. It all ended with THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT RUNNING AWAY HYSTERUCALLY CRYING. I will never return to this restaurant and i advice no one to go in there ever again. THE FOOD IS THE WORST MEAL I HAVE EVER HAD AND THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY. #sushipoopoo

Overall quite good. Surprisingly good miso soup. The sashimi could be cut a thinner as was gagingly large, and I missed some of the white shaved cabbage that normally comes with it. Sushi pieces where lovely.
