I've read high reviews on this Japanese collegen hotpot that is highly raved by reviewers and bloggers (Instagram, online reviews) I saw online. There is also always a long queue outside the store, so I've always wanted to try. There is no reservations allowed strictly walk-ins. I understand that they want people to have all arrived to be seated. But one of my friend had gone to the ladies, so we(2 of us) decided to could go in first.*Only 1 and half hour eating time* (that is more than enough f
*Only 1 and half hour eating time* (that is more than enough for us, so I asked to go in so we can start first)
At the door, we were greeted by the manager with extremely high ego and attitude that repeatedly (3 times) reminded me that we only have 1.5hours to dine in. It was probably due to the Q Tsukada Nojo usually have on a friday night. I assured him that we would dine within the 1.5 hours before he issued us seats.
Compared to Hai D iLao or JPOT, Tsukada Nojo is really disappointing. Comparing the service, portion, ambiance, pricing and food quality/variety, they really lose out by them a lot. My total bill for 3 pax off their regular 25++ dinner set and a bowl of white rice($4) was $92.89.
*One small bowl of plain rice costs $4.
The only thing special(selling point) about them is the soup comes in curd form, not like the normal liquid form. Other than that, please go to other places to eat and not get con by the Q & reviews, it is just NORMAL/SO-SO.
*there is less than 20 seats inside that's why there is always queue.
That's my sincere truthful review, I hope no one would get disappointed if you are a regular to Jpot or HDL. I don't even want to post any photo cause I'm extremely disappointed by the service to start with and the food is a bigger led down. Warning you to just stick to what is original Everyone have different opinion/ taste buds, I'm just sharing mine.
