Fuji 2, Inc.
Sep 13, 2008 by John from Seacoast, NH
Overall Rating: 1
Food:[1] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[1]

• NA.
• Injurious cuisine and insulting staff.

“I had lunch at Fuji today - a basic sushi and sashimi meal. I paid the bill and left to shop, and in about 10 minutes began to cramp badly and need to visit a rest room, symptoms anyone who eats raw fish would recognize at once. recognize as food poisoning. Fuji was around the corner, so I went back in, heading down the stairs to the rest rooms. A cook was coming in at the time, and when he saw me going down he informed me that the restrooms were not public. I replied that I had just dined there a few minutes ago, but was not feeling sick. He repeated his warning, a little more threatening. I replied that I was sick from their food and has been in the restaurant a few minutes earlier, and headed down to the basement where their restrooms are. While I was waiting, very uncomfortable, for someone to exit the toilet area of the men's room another person came down and very rudely ordered me to leave, saying repeatedly public rest room outside. I replied, again, that I had eaten there a few minutes before and was now getting sick. This man grew increasingly belligerent and threatening, crowding me in the little restroom. I stumbled outside and walked 50 very uncomfortable yards to the cold, damp public restroom, where I had a moment that people in such situations will identify with. It was not my last such moment today. There is another restaurant nearby, Ben Kay, that serves reliable sushi and where the staff seems to be very civil.”

“My eggs were cooked too fast and you had to wait an hour to get a seat. Marcy's is way better.”

Foreplay Sports Club
Mar 22, 2008 by Joe from Portsmouth
Overall Rating: 8
Food:[5] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Fun place to go with friends or meet some new ones. Lots of bar games and TVs.
• Got crowded after 10.

“Tons of TVs, great music a friendly staff and Jello Shots for all. We went in because of the name and stayed because of the staff and atmosphere. A fun place to meet some people watch a game, play some bar games and hang out with friends. Definitely worth checking out!”

Foreplay Sports Club

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[1] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[2]

• The name.
• Everything.

“Foreplay is a sports bar, on Fore Street. The name is the only thing clever about this dump. We went there less than two hours before a college hockey game which was walking distance away. They treated us and other customers as a nuisance. I couldn't believe how rude the staff/ownership was to us (cash carrying patrons). It soon became apparent that this dive was the only place in the area without patrons. No Wonder. Portland is a cool town and the old port district has a lot of places to eat and drink. Do not make this one your place! Stay away from Foreplay.”

Panda Garden Restaurant

Overall Rating: 10

• The food, service and friendliness is wonderful!
• Nothing!

“Our whole family goes to panda garden often. All I have to say I think they are the most kid friendly place I have been. The owner/manager has always been so friendly with my child, who is one. He has always came over and chatted with my child and has done everything possible for making it a great experience. When my child was 6 months old he went out of his way there once and heated him up some warm water so I did not have to use the bathroom water for baby food. The food is great and the beef teriyaki is luscious!”
