Editorial Review for Misono – by Eric Grossman
The Scene
Area couples skip nearby chain restaurant offerings and head to an unremarkable strip mall for fresh Japanese and Korean fare. Misono's dining room is awash in soft colors and usually provides an unassuming locale that's perfect for a quiet conversation. Pleasant servers ably explain the menu's more foreign items (Korean stir-fries, unique sushi offerings). Solo diners are well-served to grab a stool at the diminutive sushi bar and watch expert chefs slice away.
The Food
Misono's sushi, unquestionably fresh and reasonably priced, runs the gamut from the familiar to the offbeat. After starting with a refreshing California roll or spicy lobster maki, patrons often move right to lightly fried tempura or savory teriyaki dinners (served with rice and a light salad). Adventurous types are rewarded with bowls of Hwe Dup Bab, a spicy combo of noodles, rice and chunks of raw fish.

The food was good but the service was mediocre. The girl that waited on my table was unfriendly and never smiled once. I decided to leave just over 10 % percent gratuity because I felt that was all she deserved for the service she provided. The service was not good enough for me to leave her more. After I walked out of the restaurant, she came chasing me down the street. She says that she deserved more tip and that I am requested to leave her more at least 15 % and that she only gets paid $ 2. + an hour. I could not believe the audacity she had to request from me how much I should leave for a tip. I believe you have to work for a good tip and she certainly did not. I hope the manager of this establishments reads this...
