Donut place is fine, overpriced.
rd, it's just...what? (actually curious and didn't think you were being mean...)
i can't really say what i want to say without it coming out kind of mean and i don't want to so here goes...
i like hibachi. if you gave me five or six restaurants in mhk, they would be there. it just used to be better.
i don't disagree that they've done nice things to the place. it's just kind of sterile now and part of what i liked about hibachi back was that it was the opposite of that. that's about as nice as i can be. also, the quality seemed to be a little off the last few times i ate there. could've just been a bad kitchen day. i've probably eaten in aggieville twenty times in the last three months and i've gone there probably four of the times, so it's not like i hate them now or something. still good and i'll continue to go.
i also really think they should've kept hibachi as hibachi and turned t-star into a place that people would want to go to. seems like they said "hmmm, hibachi does decent. tstar doesn't. let's make it all hibachi". so long didn't double their space and make a so long back yard. they made an entirely new restaurant and called it taco lucha. it will absolutely kill. hibachi should've done that. be foreward thinking. be innovative. make it nice. make it interesting. find/create a niche. it's freaking aggieville, the niche doesn't have to be all that good or even all that innovative. taco lucha isn't some crazy idea. it's been done a million places. just not in aggieville and it's a good aggieville concept.
add that new bar that they did, but keep the hibachi bar as well. you want people drinking and you want them staying late into the night and drinking. nobody is going to do that in the new hibachi hut cavern. you want it to be exclusive. you wan't to have people wait to get a table (more exclusive/more booze ordering). don't penny pinch here and there and everywhere. takes money to make money. basically all that stuff. i think they are cutting corners in some ways w/ their current business and missed a good oppy to do something better.
