Wow! They must be eating at the tables instead of at the bar.
Sushi chefs are so pleasant at the bar that I can't see leaving a bar without saying "Thank you".

Also, did you ask an eleventh question?
11. What's your favorite order at a sushi restaurant?
Possible response: 100% California Roll. :-D

well even if they eat at the bar, they would not thank the chefs for following reasons
1. chefs don't usually wear masks, and they still talk
2. they are mostly Chinese, makes big sushi, even if the restaurant is Japanese-like, they don't know the tradition of sushi/sashimi themselves

California roll is good I agree, but no I was more into manners of eating sushi =)

Better not invite these kids to Morimoto's house to eat. The first one who tries to grab a piece of fish with the narrow ends of the chopsticks will get his ass kicked.

it's best for them to go to Japan for once and learn~
