As we are in the area visiting the Singapore Night Festival, we decide to drop in the Standing Sushi Bar at Queen Street for a late dinner.

As we are in the area visiting the Singapore Night Festival, we decide to drop in the Standing Sushi Bar at Queen Street for a late dinner. As it is past 9pm, there is not many customers in the restaurant.
There many empty tables in the restaurant, but the staff squeezes the 2 of us with other customers on the same one row of tables, although there are many rows of empty tables. The single row of tables is quite packed and it is quite difficult for females to put bags except on the floor or behind on the chairs. The staff just simply refuses to let sit at other tables with some lame excuses that they except more customers. Although throughout the whole meal, there is less than 10 customers coming in. The action of doing this, sounds more like a way saving of wait staffs as most customers are at the same row of tables.
Rockstar Roll ($16.90++)seared salmon draped over mozzarella and covered with mentaiko sauce
Although stuffed with cheese, I barely feel the strong flavour of the cheese while eating the sushi. It is quite a well balanced combination.
Yaki Soba ($15++)stir-fried noodles with meat and vegetables
It kind of reminds me of Fried Hong Kong Mee, but tastes sweet with a Worcestershire taste sauce.
Seafood Mentai Pasta ($17++)seafood spaghetti with cod fish roe sauce
The pasta is evenly coated with the sauce and tastes quite nice.
The meal costs $48.90 after discount with Standard Chartered credit card. Overall the food is not bad. But cannot say the same for the service. Water is not refilled. The way the staffs crowd around the row of tables seem to be making the customers to leave as soon as possible. Quite uncomfortable with so many pairs of eyes looking at you while eating.
