The Happy Sumo in
Westminster Colorado sucks!
We decided to try the
new Happy Sumo that opened at The Orchard in
Westminster at 144th Avenue this last Friday
evening. It was somewhat busy and we had four people with us including my
wife and two kids. After being informed by the hostess in an icy tone that
it would be a 30 minute wait, we took our pager and waited, and
waited, and waited while I watched other four tops , three tops, two tops and
even one larger party who had come after us be called for their
tables. After 55 minutes I asked one of the four
giggling hostesses (all fashionably dressed in black) when they thought we would
be called.
She looked at her seating list (and I got a glimpse as well),
I could see that we had been passed over by about 6-7 parties, and then said in
an icy tone that it would be another 10 minutes. At this
point we decided that we would be better off dining somewhere that actually gave
a rip about our business and customer service, I handed the pager back to the
hostess an said no thank you we would be leaving. Her
only response was her best 'runway model' sarcastic sneer
'sorry'.
We wound up stopping by
a Good Times burger place on the way home and had great service
actually with a smile!
Thank God I didn't have business clients
with me or it wasn't an important lunch or business
dinner as is normally the case. This time we only had an evening
meal ruined and dissapointed and hungry kids.
I guess the problem is that
Happy Sumo is the only sushi restaurant up
north in this area. Hopefully that will change soon as the dinner market
is in desperate need of a sushi place that actually has
service, good prices and good food!
