Review: EBISU on Robson

[Obsideon]

We still have the Ika Meshi (Grilled Stuffed Squid) it's in the Rice section, the Baby Deep fried Octopus is a new one ya.

Yeah we'll do something similar to the Dine-out menu, $25, $35 course meals but I'm not part of 'Tourism Vancouver' so I couldn't get into the official Dine-out.

Stoooooooop spelling my name wrong it's such a peeve! Haha it happens so often It was cool meeting you too!

[Gh0stRider]

just came back from there. 2nd time there and was not disappointed. *thumbs up* to the HOT waitresses.

[Ronin]

Thanks for the hospitality yesterday, Deon.

I echo TRD604's thoughts about the waitresses. I boobies.

Edit: Oh right, the fish taco's were fantastic.

[mako]

there's boobies???

alright ... im coming down tonight

[aznrsx1979]

I agree with everyone else, the food & service is great. I didn't get to check out the patio to see if you set up those outdoor gas heaters.

[orgasm_donor]

I had the Ebisu Gyoza for appetizer which was fantastic then I had the Karaage Chicken for dinner and it was VERY good too. Service was great and as usual, we had a great time there!

+1 for Deon and Ebisu.

i was there yesterday and i have mixed feelings. well, the food was great but the service was unsatisfactory.

we were sitting there staring at the waitresses to acknowledge us and after 15 mins of waiting after being seated we had our drink orders taken.

the table next to us kept getting orders bought to them that they did not order, and then they brought it to our table and it was not our order either. this happened about 3 times.

the girls were making an excuse that they were new, not sure if that was really the case.

i had the oysters and the thunderfries. i will be back, solely for the food.

Yesterday? I was suppose to be there but I had a pile of problems to deal with outside the restaurant so couldn't make it back so I don't know what happened with the servers or what the problem was with the food.

"the girls were making an excuse that they were new, not sure if that was really the case."

^ That is DEFINITELY the case. The problem with hiring so many Working Holiday Visa - authentic (and as many of u pointed out, hotness factor) Japanese girls is that they are all only allowed to stay in Canada for a year. So every year it's the same thing. A whole buttload of them leave at the same time and I have to hire a whole new bunch and re-train them. These few weeks is such a time. Too bad I couldn't have been there personally yesterday to see what the problem was so as to fix it quickly. Good help is hard to find I can't be there 24/7.

thanks kurostar for trying to address any problems with the establishment. but like i said, the food was enough to keep me coming back. and hopefully next time service will also be top notch

[Full`Throttle]

I live a block away from this place and I avoid going there simply cuz the service sucks. I like the price of the pitchers on weekdays which was the main attraction since it's close to home/work.

edit: We always get the dishes that the table next to us ordered even when we ordered no food at all lol. The food is not good enough to keep me coming back. If it wasn't so close and didn't have booze I would probably never go here.

Next time you come, do remember to ask for me I'll swing by and see why your so grumpy I always appreciate honesty and if there's anything I can do to make your next visit more, um, more satisfactory then that would be great!

Heading down to the Robson location now!

[Jer3]

i might be heading down to ebisu on wednesday. where can i find parking?

[Obsideon]

There's an Impark right behind us, but it's a little pricey. I believe it's like $3 / hour, otherwise there's other underground parking behind Bread Garden and in other alleys but some of them are pretty shady. Otherwise it's the streets. That's what's shitty about the core of Downtown

[XtC_13aBy]

What are the chances of a medium sized group (let's say, 6 or less) getting in for Dine-Out next Saturday night? do you guys take reservations on weekends?

I want to get a couple people together and try it out.

Also, if your menu is regular price, how much would it be? I want to make sure it is a good deal :P
