Thank You

Irene from Alicetown

We would like to thank the very generous family who quite by chance came to be seated with us at Ichiban Teppanyaki, Lower Hutt last night. We were there to celebrate a birthday and although we did not know you we soon started chatting and sharing a few laughs. At the end of the evening when it became time to pay our bill, we found much to our absolute amazement, that it had already been paid. Having left before us and not realising what you had done, we were left quite speechless. We have done such lovely acts of kindness ourselves in the past, but to be the recipient on this occasion has completely blown us away. We hope that at some stage in the future that our paths may cross so that we can return the favour in kind, but if not we wish you well and hope your act of generosity is returned to you ten fold. This is certainly something that we will definitely never forget.
