Maxol Service Station Whitestrand in Galway

07/11/2026: I have been here several times. Decent sushi. Staff are very pleasant. But I always get the feeling they are understaffed. Was there tonight. Only two wait staff on, and one was not taking orders (she had no english). It wasnt particularly busy but it took over an hour to get any food to our table. First 20 mins we sat there with nothing...not even a glass of water. Eventually we ordered our food. A glass of wine came 15mins later...then nothing til our sushi was ready. Theres zero atmosphere in there too so conversation ran out. After 70mins our food finally came. It was tasty but we had it all finished in 10 minutes. Didn't bother ordering anything else as it would probably take another hour. I left hungry and annoyed. We booked at 6.30 for a table at 7pm. At that point they would have known they were too busy for the staff they had on. They should not have taken the booking. Id say his was my 10th time there. And my last. Lesson learned! Oh...and it was my birthday too. Day ruined
