On 1/29/24, last night - my business partner and I sat down to eat at 6:30 PM on a reservation. We experienced the most racially discriminatory, disrespectful, traumatic experience she or I have ever experienced in our entire life. The chef for our table (named David), a Japanese guy - began to cook our food and immediately began to tell our table (specifically me and my guest) that he was the first “black Asian man” we had ever met. He was in fact an Asian man. Furthermore, he began to call me and my guest the “N” word, referred to himself as the “N” word and made a complete spectacle as he shouted and yelled and laughed while calling us “N” words about 24-30 times. Throughout his cooking at our table, he actually left our table, went to the back of the restaurant and returned with a beats speaker pill and began to play rap music with offensive lyrics. He was doing all of this enthusiastically, in good spirit as if it was entertaining to everyone in the restaurant. Numerous customers at other tables immediately and abruptly got up and left without eating their food due to the unsettling, unprofessional and utterly disrespectfully & racially charged slurs that were being yelled by our chef at us. Eventually, the chef was done cooking and was asked by a different couple at our table to “repeat” his racial slurs. He proceeded to shout on the top of his lungs “THANKS MY N WORDS” and asked “does anybody have a problem with it”? At that point, I raised out of my seat and voiced that YES, I have a problem with EVERYTHING he has said and the disrespect not only WE but every other person of color has endured during his time cooking - and his response was that he was just having “Fun” and didn’t know he was offending anyone. I immediately asked for a to go box, we put our food in the box, paid the bill and left. The next day (which was today), we returned to the restaurant to get names of the chef, the manager on duty and the contact information for corporate as we are filing a law suit against Ohjah Japanese Steakhouse. If you were here this night, please feel free to comment here and share your contact information / experiences as this would help our proceedings. Myself and the woman who accompanied me the night this happened are completely traumatized and will not settle until this is rectified by this organization.
I think we just had a bad cook and server. My food was overly salty and the chef was not entertaining. He just kind of cooked and did the shrimp toss at the end and that was really it. I also don’t feel like my portion size was like I normally get at other hibachi type places. I ordered the simple filet with fried rice and I really couldn’t eat it because it was so salty. Others at the table had the same opinion. Also the server was nice but really didn’t come to check on us. We had to ask for condiments and refills consistently.
