Maggot found in steak!!!!

[Schizo]

that story is completely false. i was there that night and what happened was a piece of rice was mistaken as a maggot and instead of waiting to speak to management or finding the truth, the 4 people irrationally walked out on their rather large sushi and drink bill, which is overdramatic and illegal not to mention. what makes someone think they have the right to walk out on such a bill just because they think there was something in their food? they don't have the right. typically when you think something is in your food you want to speak to a manager or get your money back. you don't walk out on the bill and then start false rumors. everyone in this county knows asahi for their good food and environment. to even think that a maggot would be in their food is such an exaggeration. loyal customers of asahi know this rumor is completely false. how can someone mistake a piece of rice with a maggot when rice is cooked on the grill along with the meat. obviously a drunken mistake or a easy way to dine and ditch. next time get your facts right .

Sounds quite fishy to me. Looks like an eat, create a diversion, and run to me. Standard eat and run MO. "Real" customers would have waited for the manager and complain, not walked out. If anyone know who these 4 people are, they should be reported to the police.

I think one of the forumites posted that he was there and his buddy and date were the runners.

I'll tell you that I work for Asahi. Having seen the conditions of our kitchen for myself as an employee, I can tell you that there's no reason to have found a maggot in your steak. What's more likely is that a little grain of rice got mixed in (come on, now).

I'll tell you that I work for Asahi. While the customer is always supposed to be right when it comes to business, I'm also compelled to question your motives. You say you simply got up and left your grill table with no explanations and no word to the manager? If your "maggot" bothered you that much, why didn't you do the adult thing and complain? My manager is more than reasonable in his dealings with customers, and that's why we're known for our good service. Having seen the conditions of our kitchen for myself as an employee, I can tell you that there's no reason to have found a maggot in your steak. What's more likely is that a little grain of rice got mixed in (come on, now).

As an employee, I think you should leave it to the manager's response that was already made and have moved on. You are taking away from everything else.

I stand by my opinion that Asahi has poor service and it's smells like a dumpster when you walk in the front door.

I definitely differ with that, we ate their last night, didn't smell one bit, and I love the kind of service when they apoligize for being too slow when I've waited 3-4 times that long at many other places...

False Claim of Maggot in Steak

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IT WAS ONLY JUMPING RICE!!!

The management at Asahi Japanese Steak and Seafood House would like to lay to rest a false rumor that has been circulating. Last Friday night, a customer mistook a piece of uncooked rice for a maggot or larvae. When rice is cooked on a teppanyaki table, the rice jumps in the air, and this is precisely what happened. The piece of rice flew onto a piece of steak, and the customer immediately assumed it to be a bug. This could not be the case for several reasons. 1) If this was truly a maggot, it would not retain its white color after being scorched on a grill. 2) The high degree temperature that we cook at would cause a maggot to become unrecognizable. 3) We use high-quality, USDA-approved beef that we inspect before bringing out to the. You can rest assured that there was never a maggot in any of our food.

Before the manager could be brought out to the table, one party at the table got up and left before they could hear our explanation. Of course he was upset and schocked to hear that there was a maggot in our steak, so he immediately tried to remedy the situation by apologizing and offering gift certificates as compensation. As soon as the head chef examined the "maggot," he realized that it was indeed only a piece of rice. After 15 years of cooking experience, he can certainly tell the difference. Even though there was no maggot, the manager still gave gift certificates to the remaining customers, as well as one certificate to give to their friends who had already left. We hoped that they would come back and use the certificates so that we could explain to them what had really happened.

We want to let our loyal customers know the truth about what happened and assure them that this rumor is not true at all. It was all just a misunderstanding. Thank you.

That and the way the cook cuts up the steak, one how did it survive, and TWO how did noone at the table not notice it, or the cook not notice it??
