Love the chopped blue cheese salad! Steak was way overcooked from as ordered. French fries, used, dirty napkin and food were on my booth seat as we sat down. My friend nor I did not receive water or the lemon that was requested of the waiter.
Waiter ignored our table (TWICE) to flirt with table of women next to us that came in several minutes after we were seated. He spoke to us first, but did not take our order or bring our water (although we said we were ready to order). He took their drink order while we waited for him to come back to our table. He then came back after they received drinks to see if they 'were all enjoying their lunch', but STILL did not take our order. He took their orders, and THEN came to our table and took ours. After they received food, he came to see if they wanted more drinks. He flirted and chatted them more, and we STILL had not gotten our food!
We were two middle aged folks, they were a table of 5 very pretty young ladies, but it was very frustrating.
Another waiter came to us and asked if we were finished. Our waiter was STILL standing and chatting up the table of young women and had not returned to our table. We did not order dessert as we had planned. Neither of us received lemon with water as we asked the second waiter, who said, " I will tell your waiter". We were polite, dismayed with the meal, the inattentive service and the lack of cleaning the booth before we were seated.

Absolutely love Jenpachi! I've been there twice now and will definitely go back. You must get the fried rice.. it's definitely worth the extra cost. The lobster sauce is to die for! Service was great and the chefs were entertaining. A little on the p ...
