Two men went to an up-scale Sushi restaurant posing as a couple and feasted on freshwater prawns, strip steaks, several appetizers and top shelf drinks before fleeing the scene leaving behind an unpaid $410 tab. However the men were caught only three hours later after they ended up dining in another restaurant owned by the same person.

Thom Pham, the owner of the Temple restaurant, said that after finding out the pair's fraud he had just wished to see them again. "I was so mad," Pham told local television station KARE-TV news. "This is just not right."

Just three hours later, when Pham was touring his another restaurant in the area he found the same pair ordering a rack of lamb and several more cocktails. When he asked them to pay the $200 for the food they had already eaten, the older suspect began to argue with him.

Pham said the man then insisted to allow him to get money from his home across the street. But as Pham followed him there, he suddenly reached in his pocket.

Pham, a former judo teacher, gave him no second chance to flee and pinned him down until the police arrived. Other man posing as woman fled, but was nabbed few blocks away.

"I call it 'instant karma,'" Pham told the AP.

Reginald Wilder, 43, pleaded guilty and was required to make restitution of $705.86. Lance Burrow, 20, is scheduled to make a court appearance July 25.
