It was the worst dining experience we had on this trip. The sushi was okay. The noodle dishes were below average. I had the Pink Miso Ramen and my husband had Seven something dish. Both were unmemorable and tasted like diner food. Our waitress was rude as if she didn't want to work there, unsmiling and uncaring. I guess it started when we asked for a clean table. We ordered mojitos to go with our meal and what we got was not a mojito. We offered to give them the recipe when we sent back the first drinks, but the bartender insisted that she knew how to make it. No. 2 was just as bad- way to much rum, no sugar, made with lemons and some mint for decoration. Our waitress snarked "well that is what is mojito in Israel" Now we have had many mojitos, in many places, in Israel and the all were good to fine. Our waitress was so rude that we didn't tip. We thought later that we should have tipped her 10 agurot. Below Average Food, Poor Service. We just had dinner at River Noodle Bar in Jerusalem.

I ate there once and the food and water took for-e-ver to arrive and the miso soup was the saltiest I've ever had, which required gallons of water, which took forever, etc. I thought the sushi was pretty good, though and the prices decent. I'm pretty excited to try Domo now that I hear they have a teudah. Debi – I’ve heard so many mixed reviews about Japanika.

The food was quite good, but what bothered us was 2 things. Firstly, the noise - the place was full, and you could not hear yourself speak without shouting. Secondly, they seated us at a table upstairs that is right next to the cupboard where they store the dirty dishes before sending them downstairs. It was rather disconcerting to have a waiter/waitress open the cupboard every 2 minutes, and put in a pile of dirty dishes just 3 feet from my nose. It was even more disconcerting to have our waitress take clean dishes out of the same cupboard (I assume that it was a different shelf, but still ...), when we needed an extra plate.
