My husband F. and I are regular participants in the Lunch Bunch, a monthly bus trip to a local restaurant offered by our retirement community. This past Friday we went to the Mandolin Sushi & Steak House:
3923 S. 12th Street
Tacoma, WA 98405
253–301–4969
There were about 15 of us, just the right size party for the separate room in the back, where the hostess seated us.
This restaurant offers many different kinds of food. F. and I went for our usual, steak and shrimp cooked at the table habachi-style.
Some of our friends ordered sushi, which arrived in a dramatic presentation:
I don’t claim to be an experienced food critic, but we liked what we had. Discussion on the bus on the way home suggested that most of the others had enjoyed their food as well. The restaurant has overall good reviews on yelp.
We were all impressed with the service. Our group consisted of couples and some individuals, which meant a lot of separate checks. Our waitress did a fantastic job of keeping all the orders straight, even at the end with all those separate checks and credit cards.
