Asakuma Sushi-beverly Hills

Some people will consider it a point in their favor that the only person working in the front of the restaurant does not seem to speak English, but it led to a frustrating experience. First, I came in for the lunch 2 sushi rolls for a reduced price special, and he let me know that the veggie tempura roll is not included. Only the cheap rolls are, which makes it not worthwhile. But he seemed unsure and confused and pointed to a sign that was inside the restaurant and different from the one outside the restaurant. Fine. I ordered a vegetable tempura roll (specifically not included on the special and we confirmed the price), tamago, and inari, both confirmed that they were sushi, each 2 pieces. The tamago came out fine. Then came a tiny vegetable roll, not tempura. I pointed that out and he took it away. He came back with a nice looking large vegi tempura roll (see picture) but inside was only broccoli and gobo, not what the menu says is in the roll. It was basically a fried broccoli roll, a bit bitter. The inari never came. The guy in front disappeared and the place was empty. It was hard to track someone down to pay. Overall,not a happy experience.

Not sure what’s happening to this place, maybe new owner or management. Service is an absolute disaster. These guys have to idea how run the place. The sushi chef seems to be completely insane.
