A
previous
visit
to
Sushi
Box
Newlands
was
just
as
we
were
exiting
the
stringent
laws
of
COVID
Lockdown,
only
allowing
for
takeout
orders.
The
result
was
a
meagre,
disastrous
failure,
thus
it
has
taken
well
over
two
years,
until
today
to
choose
to
venture
forth
and
see
if
Sushi
Box
is
up
to
standard
comparable
to
it’s
heyday
beginnings
…
in
earlier
days
remembering
our
regular
cravings
and
their
scrumptious
food,
vibrant
waitrons’
friendly
greetings
and
personal
interactions.
Alas
today
was
just
a
sad
inedible
untidy
vision
of
‘standards-dropped’.
So-much-so
that
the
three
of
us
could
NOT
be
tempted
to
complete
the
emptying
of
the
sloppy
platters.
Sushi
was
unappetizing,
totally
unrelated
and
incomparable
to
the
incredible
sushi
that
was
once
upon
a
time,
served
us
in
times
past.
We
arrived
at
noon,
in
the
hopes
of
finding
a
vacant
table,
yet
needn’t
have
worried,
as
much
of
our
time
spent
there,
we
were
the
only
occupied
table,
until
two
more
tables
eventually
filled.
Seems
gone
are
the
days
of
high
demand
at
this
forlorn
venue.
Service?
Lacking!….
Oh!
The
drinking
glasses
had
a
distinct
fishy
smell.
A
ps:
Replying
to
the
owner’s
response:
thanks
for
your
response.
No
need
for
further/
email
correspondence,
we
won’t
be
returning.
I
DO
suggest
to
you
though
that
Sushi
Box
Newlands
needs
to
‘cleanse
its
palate’
(start
afresh
by
upping
its
game…intense
re-training
of
its
staff:
from
chefs
to
waitrons).
