Worst restaurant

Let me say this first. This is not a Japanese restaurant but a Chinese restaurant run by "only care about money" minded-Chinese people who don't even go to Japanese restaurant by themselves.
I read the other people's reviews and blindly believed that it was a good choice but it was the worst experience... especially THE waitress what the other people talk nice about. Such a gap between the reality and the reviews...
We are a mixed race couple and the waitress was suspiciously racist towards us (I still can't believe it). Even living in London for a long time, I never experienced such an thing from Chinese people (never experienced in China town). We even feared that she might put something we don't want to think of in our food...
Purely talking about the quality of food... Who would put a positive rating as this is a "good" standard!? It really made me doubt the reviews. For example, potato salad was "too" sweet, probably added sugar in it... Mixed seafood don, they used hot basmati rice (!!??) right below cold fish... Miso soup tasted like just dissolved instant miso with randomly chopped raw mushroom...
If you cook for years, I'm sure that everyone can sense the effort of cooking from the meal. And their food...
It took more than half day to forget about the experience. If you go there thinking you are going to a Japanese restaurant, you are mistaken.
