New sushi place

[noon]

New sushi place opened up next to my house. I'm in love. Classy place well put together .
They have an all you can eat pick three items 36 dollars
I picked slivered smoked salmon, fresh shrimp, and California rolls. My wife and I ate a nice complete meal. She had a normal dinner type dish.
When we were done (she was done) I was still enjoying the salmon and shrimp she got bored and said I'd like to leave. So I said take the car I'll walk home when I'm done. She did she wasn't upset just wanted to get on with he evening.
I ate for just under three hours before I was satisfied I'm not a slob and I wasn't scarfing food down my neck.
But I truly packed it away. I left a generous tip and look forward to eating there often.

Im curious if its not a legal requirement is it not always considered generous? What would be generous?

Thing is, here in the states restaurant wait staff are taxed for gratuity, even if they received none. Gov assumes they are getting cash which of course is not traceable, so they err on the side of caution and tax'em anyway. Gotta love our benevolent gov.

Sweet. Love Sushi. Although, I'm not sure I'd visit an "All you can eat" sushi joint.

But what would one say is generous? $10???

Craving some sushi now.

[OdinsOtherSon]

The most "correct" way is to tip on percentage of the bill. If my bill was $50 then I'd probably leave $10. I generally tip in the 15-20% range of the total amount of the bill. But that's just my method.

Me too. I literally can't get enough of it.

Can you tip on card? Like just ask the staff to add 10$ to the bill?

I worked for a Japanese company for three years. Those fuggers can pack away the sashimi and saki.

I tip 20%, but pre-tax. I don't tip on the tax. Most people do. They don't look at the pre-tax number when paying a tip.

[Times Roman]

I tip based on the service received.

I have no problem tipping $2 if the service sucks.

on the other hand, if the service is top notch, I'll go as high as 25%. this is infrequent.
...I mentally track a variety of things during the meal. I average the usual 15%

I had a bartender at Texas Roadhouse fast pouring my Guinness one night. I told her to slow pour it. She seemed edgy and distracted, and instead of slow pouring like I requested, she fast poured and kept pouring out the head. This is a lack of respect not only to me but to the beer as well. I didn't give her shit for a tip.

[Times Roman]

damn. that reminds me. was at another bar several years ago. I ran up the tab to almost $100. Bartender was real gabby, pushing drinks on me. More than I wanted to really pay for. My buddy had a tab running too. She took some kind of phone call, and then, right before she left, she gave us a few more drinks, and then smiled at us and said to enjoy...

....she just quit and the drinks are on her. Didn't have to pay shit.

Not really an all you can eat (well sorta)
It's an option they offer as a meal. They just continue to make what you have chosen to eat and continue to freshen your plate

[noon]

I tipped 12 dollars the place was great the service was outstanding. They work hard. And I plan to frequent this place
It all pans out in the end .
I have spent far more money in far worse ways than helping a fellow human being
If I get bad service. I leave a nickel on a clean napkin

Card receipts have a option for the customer to write in a tip amount.

I'm the same. We usually frequent the same "handful" of places and so we're regulars. Like you, my attitude is "I've spent way more on way worse" and our regular hangouts take really good care of us so I try to reciprocate.

I'm on the hunt for a BBQ joint that's close to home with in a half an hour of homie need ribs pulled pork brisket and corn bread

[noon]

There is one that does a great job but he gives out such a small portion it pathetic.

Dude... bbq is one of my hobbies and it's steadily growing. My smoked chicken and pulled pork are sought after (by friends and family anyway! Lol) Still developing my ribs and brisket. Making a good smoked brisket is indeed an art form! Not as easy as it may look by any stretch.

If this is all you can eat - I'll have a sofa for 1, thank you!

[DrewZ]

On second thoughts can I get this to go?

[Othello]

I prefer Sashimi...sushi has rice which is boiled and has some sugar added and the carbs in there are $%Q@$%@#$%...

sashimi on the other hand is pure protein

All you can eat joints usually carry a lot of sushi and maki with little sashimi thats why I usually avoid them...

I agree. I always go for sashimi if I have the chance (and its a good restaurant). Its just pricey for what you get.

[lovbyts]

Yes but they have to claim that as income then. Cash is king when tipping and goes a lot further. You have to warch out they do not automatically add the tip to your bill though, some places do.

I tip 12% - 20% depending on what she looks like, I mean the service.

If I'm reading this correctly this is NOT an all you can eat sushi buffet type place but they have an all you can eat section on the menu also, right?

Sounds like a good place to me.

[RaginCajun]

if i could pick any three items for all you can eat, it would be tuna, salmon, and some other fish. all sashimi for me!

[Rwy]

It kinda is a unwritten rule to tip here in the states. The US doesnt pay waiters and waitresses the same way as other countries. They only make a couple of bucks an hour and solely rely on tips

MOst people think they are eating healthy when they eat Sushi. Between the white rice, the fat in some of the fist and then everyone gets avacado there are a ton of calories in there

[Rwy]

Asa Akira?

Don't forget the ones drenched in sauce.

A bit like at Mcdonalds, where the 'salads' have 3 times the amount of calories that a double cheeseburger has, lol.
