naked tchopstix

meh..... everything here is hit or miss. on some days i will have a veryniceserver, and other days the server is very rude and inattentive. the food is the same way.

bland food and unsupported management. my family ate here recently and the waiter wasniceenough and very helpful. unfortunately he had a an accident and dropped food on my mother-in-laws lap. we could understand the accident and werent upset with the waiter by any means but then the rest of the food came out. my sushi was bland, tasteless and overall gross. my husband got the the spicy pork which had more taste then my sushi but was definitely not up to par. our waiter spent mose of our meal trying to apologize and finally was able to get his manager to come by at the end to offer to pay for her dry cleaning. and lastly when all was said and done the waiter came back to help box up my mother in laws food and used the rag he just wiped a table with to pick up her bowl putting half the towel in the bowl itself. needless to say, we will not be going back here. very disappointed, not so much with the staff as everyone makes mistakes, but definitely with the food. double yuck!

went for anicedinner with my wife monday evening. food wasn't bad, however, someone needs to do some training with the staff in the art of running a credit card. we had a $25 gift certificate which we put toward the meal. it took three attempts to get the bill right and when i checked my balance today i found they charged me three times for our meal. i called mike the manager and was informed that i would have to wait three days to get my $130 back. so they can withdraw $200 instantly from my checking account for a $48 meal but i have to wait three days to get a refund? really?

very poor service! be very careful using a credit card.

i have been there more times then i can count. we have had great service and not so great service, but we understand when it's busy. this time i had the volcano roll and a salad with wosabi dressing. it was fantastic. i guess they make all their own sauces from scratch. my husband had the bulgoki bento box which was big enough to feed 2. we split the crab ragoon. you have not had crab ragoon until you have had their crab ragoon. all and all was aniceevening. we will be back.

the best... ever.... this is arguably the best sushi i have ever had…ever. i have been to many places all over the states, and this was, again, the best i have ever had. we created a sampler of octopus salad, pork shumi with wasabi, and the playboy roll. there was easily enough food here for two people; we could not finish it all. the presentation was incredible. it looked just as good as it tasted. the service was above and beyond. the décor was very nice; music was aniceblend of 80s rock. the restaurant was immaculate.
fort wayne has a real winner here. make sure to stop in here and try this!

first time. saw a review in fort wayne business, so i thought i would try it. liked the service very much. seated quickly,nicemenu, good wine.

food was ok. i ordered the spicy chicken bento box. chicken came with some type of orange-red batter which made it spicey. soups are good,nicevariety in the box.

the negitive came when i got the bill. i was charged $17.99 for the $15,99 bento box. nothing i hate worse than wrong prices in this world of computers. no reason for wrong prices, ..so it makes you think, is it on purpose?
watch your bill....

family dinner time. we took my parents there and they really enjoyed it. it proves that the selection of food really appeals to a wide audience. we had a great meal and you can't beat the bento box. that said, the service remains spotty at best. the host didn't seem very interested in us eating there and obviously had better things to do. the server was very nice, but poorly trained which unfortunately is very consistent. thank goodness the food makes up for the service.

nice selection beyond the sushi norm. we've eaten here four times now. the service has been good and mediocre, it comes and goes. the food has been consistent though and always delicious. we've enjoyed everything we've tried from korean beef to sushi. i love the selection although it is overwhelming as the menu is huge. i like that it's not the same old sushi. it's a relatively comfortable place with music that is out of place, but anicechange from the normal sushi restaurant.

pish posh treated like royalty. i've been to both upscale sushi places here in fort wayne and both have fresh, amazing food; however, "the naked" is the far away winner. not only is the decor open and truely feng shui, the conversation flows, and the wait staff and chefs have such positive energy and do all they can to make dinner an experience.

"the naked" has a unique menu, with new and exciting things to try. i'm not a raw fish eater, so i highly recommend the "playboy" shushi roll, which is served flaming at the table, or the "crunch n munch" dotted with a slice of ginger and a touch of wasabi. in either roll, you'll find the largest pieces of shrimp or crab known to the sea! the chef will slice your roll so that each person can have a slice, so everyone could order a different dish and each person could have a taste!

no one at our table could eat the entire portion of the dishes from the kitchen! so much wonderful food.

alsoniceand spicy is the general tsao's chicken. now don't expect the usual "chinese" buffet quality here... no msg, nothining is "cornstarched" to death. if you remember how house of hunan was in the 1980s, then you will be happy to dine here... truely good cooking with fresh, high quality ingredients.

something you have to try is letting the chef serve you what he thinks you would enjoy. they can do this for the entire table or for an intimate dinner experience. (shh) they have more than one party room, and a "private" dining area as well.

dessert is fun! sliced ice cream covered in japanese candies. an elegant ice cream scoop served among a custom designed "floral" arrangement.

asakusa is cramped, compartmentalized, and loud. you can't see the chef prepare your food, and the wait staff is not all that friendly. takaoka is just like any other "orlando" tourist attraction, charging $1.95 every time they refill your soft drink... and they keep brining them! it is smoky, and not very entertaining any more. the chefs at takaoka used to engage the table, but the last 4 visits i've had have been "blah."

now, the bar. every evening i've been there, the bar is full of verynicelooking men in business suits! the cocktails were unique, and the service is wonderful.

i wouldn't recommend this place for young children with picky chicken nugget desires. young urbans and older professionals abound here, even on weeknights... so your whinners would not be appreciated by the adjoining grownups.

upscale casual dress is most common.

you can't turn left off of us 24, so go through the kroger parking lot, drive past the front door of the store, and turn left at the stop sign. just past the state police post is the sign for the hilton garden inn. the entrance area is under construction, but this is the right place!

i love working here and i can understand why you might think i'm just posting this to gain another good review, but i can honestly say i love the food, drinks, atmosphere and staff! i have tried 90% of the menu and love it all. i am also happy to say we have gained some frequent customers which i appreciate greatly. i also always hear great feedback from our guests and i always try to accommodate suggestions and requests when given. i highly recommend the playboy roll, maui roll, orange sunshine roll, mafia roll, and the mango tango roll. our owners are korean therefore we have very tasty kimchi which is spicy and very authentic. my favorite entrees are general tso's chicken, jalapeno pork and veggies , mongolian beef, and we also have quite a few delicious appetizers as well. we have a great selection of asian beer, sake, specialty drinks, and skittles martini's infused with real skittles! we have a full bar, and anicewine selection. at first when we opened there were some problems but they have improved an we continue to strive to please our guests. i enjoy working here, love the food, and i appreciate thenicecompliments and frequent visits! please join our fun environment and try something new!

don't be bashful, get "naked"!. i decided to try this place on the basis of some of the reviews here. the exterior is brightly painted in red and orange. the interior is very nice, with a different mood in each room. i was greeted warmly and asked for a table in the bar. the bar is good sized with plenty of bar stools as well as some high-top tables and a few booths. lots of dark wood and tasteful asian art mix with the muted lighting to create a warm atmosphere. the main dinning room/sushi bar employs lighter wood and lighting, butnicecontemporary accents. an additional dining room to one side is similar. all aspects of the restaurant were imaculately clean including the restroom.
my server was very friendly and prompt. i chose some pork/wasabi siew mai as an appetizer. they appeared a few minutes later served with some soy dipping sauce. the meat was the consistency of chinese meat balls and the little wasabi highlight in each bite was the perfect level of spice. for the main dish i had "spicey scallops". this was a large plate with a very ample portion of tender, delicious scallops stir fried with carrot, cabbage, green pepper and a great pepper sauce. lots of tender seafood and spicey crunch in every bite.
i left very full and very happy.
location note: this place is almost invisible from jefferson now that a new hilton garden hotel has gone up in front of it. look for the hotel and then drive around back!

fantastic food, bad manners. first time going. i was a bit nervous about going during busy hours but me and my friend went and i was pleasantly surprised, yet shocked at how empty it was. we ordered a few of the specialty rolls which was excellent. fresh, and on par with the sushi at asakusa or any other sushi joint i have tried. food was very good as well! the waitress was average but nothing to remember. the music was 80's music which was good but odd for an asian restaurant. the decor was beautiful and has been completely revamped to look radically different from the previous restaurants.the only complaints was the fact that i could significantly hear the wait staff loudly gossiping and talking. it ruined the atmospheric vibe. the kicker was that they weren't even standing close to us which is an indication of how outrageously loud and rude they were being. the restaurant may not be as busy, but that does not mean it is "catch up time." another complaint was the host staff. they were rude and snobby. while i was leaving, they acted as if it was a pain to answer my few questions and interrupt their conversation. and a "thank you" or even a goodbye would have beenniceto hear while leaving.

not the best location for the restaurant, but fantastic food. customer service needs to press out their kinks. if worked on, this will ensure me being a faithful customer. regardless, i will return in a few weeks to see if there is any progress.

this isn't your mama's sushi. going to lunch my son-in-law suggested tchopstix, all four liking sushi we decided to go. being use to the sushi restaurants in fort wayne being poorly decorated, tchopstix was the opposite. the decor was veryniceand felt comfortable in jeans or a suit. we started with crab rangoon and crab apple, blue cheese and jalapeno appetizer. rangoon was excellent but the crab apple etc app was over powered by the jalapeno and blue cheese no taste of apple at all. the sushi was very good and the "playboy" roll was the favorite of the table. all four rolls were very good and the bill was not as high as i expected. looking forward to trying other items on their extensive menu.

errors galore - give 'em time. the food was delicious, but as expected for a brand new restaurant, there are a ton of improvements needed in their service before i'll go back. first impressions are everything. i tried placing a carry-out order, among other things ordering "sushi set c", as in a, b, then c. the girl on the phone then asked, "do you mean sea as in s, e, a?" omg do you even know your own menu? then she read back my order and had the quantities completely wrong.

getting there is a problem - time will tell if their location will prevent them from being successful. the place was packed, and if you didn't make reservations it was a 45 minute wait.

upon arrival i was told that my order was reduced because they "didn't have enough" of the ikura (salmon roe) to fulfill my order of 8 pieces. 8 lousy pieces. are you kidding me?!?! it's saturday night, the place is packed, and you have enough of something (at 5:30pm) to make four lousy pieces of sushi? that is lame. and to top that off, did they even call me to let me know so i might have the chance to change my order? nope. the one positive is the "presentation" of our order was beautiful. sadly, their poor first impression eliminated any possibility for me to appreciate the work they put into arranging my sushi on a serving tray so beautifully.

i get home 10-15 minutes later and of course i discover something is missing. you guessed it - sushi set "sea" was not on the tray. so i called, and they said they knew it was missing and discovered that after i left. again, did they bother to call me? nope. i drove back to get my missing food.

overall - portion sizes were great, presentation terrific, prices reasonable, location sucks, "customer focus" horrific. and my final pet peeve. "have aniceday" is not the same as saying "thank you". please.

give them 6 months.
