Nara Sushi - I walked out!

I've always liked this place for their salads and fresh fish, but I'm so pissed at some recent service issues that I have to change my review to one star.

Stopped in on a mid-week day for lunch and the place was a little more than half full. Being alone, I was set in the table by the window and I chatted with the waitress about a salad that was on the specials board, "The Screaming Orgasm." She described it to me and I ordered it. I also ordered Iced Tea.

Twenty minutes later, while watching others getting served, I asked about my salad. "It is just coming up now," I was told.

Didn't see a waitress (only one that day?) at all for the next ten minutes and at that point, I got up and walked out. A half-hour waiting on a salad is atrocious.

        Question rec'd via email: "I never had a salad that could even mildly titillate me, much less get me...errr, rampant is how the bodice-rippers put it. So this salad must vibrate at the very least! I wonder what is in it?"

          The “Screaming Orgasm” ($13), a moan-worthy sashimi salad of clean-tasting yellowtail, shredded daikon radish, and a spicy, creamy ponzu dressing. As served at Tomo Sushi Austin Tx

            Doesn't sound like anything we are likely to find at "sushi bully" Ino Sushi.
