    The quality of the food was not as good as I remember — chicken kind of burnt, too much cheese, etc — but it was okay. The table was quiet and the waitress was lovely and attentive.

    Being so close to NYAJ in Waltham, I tend to go there a lot. I will never go on a Sunday again! Our server gave me a glass of water with stains inside the glass. Then whatever that was stuck to the inside of the glass was floating in the water. Unfortunately I took a few sips of the water & turned off my appetite immediately! I have pics you prove it. The server didn’t bother to look & neither did the manager when I took the glass to her. No one cares! You used to have great managers but now all your managers suck!

    I thought I sent this but not sure it went through. Our waitress, Kenia, was not the usual friendly type we have at NYAJ. She was slow to acknowledge us - very little conversation. We thanked her for her service and she walked away. Rest of the staff was very nice as always. We will be back despite her “service’ - thank you

    Service and food were great. I did notice that there wasn’t as many choices on the menu as the last time I was there which was about a year ago.

    I have selected the teriyaki salmon twice in this last week at two different locations. There is no mention of wasabi or other spices being added to the dish. However I won’t order this selection anymore at NYAJ because I am not able to tolerate spicy food and whatever is in this recipe causes me great discomfort. It needs to be stated on the menu that it is a spicy dish.

    Awful. My app salad never showed up. My main was wrong. The very rude Server insisted it was the preparation outlined on the menu. Manager also insisted. Ask to see a menu. It confirmed I was correct and it wasn’t. We’re regulars and it’s generally good but tonight was terrible.
