Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse

Ordered a bottle of cold sake - server asked if we wanted a large or small so we ordered a large since there were two of us sharing. The bottle comes out and is 750ml which is quite large for two people to drink worth of sake at dinner. We frequently drink cold sake and have tried many versions at many places; and have never seen a bottle this large served. Upon opening it and taking a taste it is clearly not Sake, but a japanese liquor made from distilled barley with a 25% ABV. The average for sakes is around 15%. After alerting the server he sends over the manager who claims that it is in fact sake, the sales rep from the distributor told them so. After much back and forth that the bottle says its Shochu and that it is not Sake - the manager continues to press that it is in fact sake and since we opened it we still have to pay for it or it will come out of the servers’ pocket at the end of the night. The server who did nothing wrong - just followed what he was told by management - which was completely wrong - but yet he would have to pay. I would never make a server pay for something like that, so we ate the $45 - YES $45. I understand right now things are difficult due to distribution issues and covid - but this is a restaurant blatantly ignorant to it’s products and pushing that on its patrons that keep it’s doors open.

Visited from out of town. Wait staff was extremely attentive and friendly. I’m a tough customer as I have special requests and only eat sashimi. The food was excellent! The sushi chef was skilled and approachable. One of the best sushi experiences I’ve had in Georgia. Only area for improvement was the lack of Nigori cold sake, but the standard cold sake was acceptable and the waiter was apologetic in that regard. Overall a great experience and would recommend.

Went to Mori this week and I think I will not go back. My girlfriend wanted to order from the children menu because she can't eat all the food that is served. They don't allow that, and we couldn't substitute or remove the broccoli from the vegetables. the only option was to not have any vegetables at all. They just don't accommodate the customer very well. The food was ok. our server was attentive to our needs and very pleasant. Even so, don't think i'll go back
