It makes me wonder why the restaurant had spent so much effort into decorating the place, but not training their staff to be more polite and welcoming. Unlike most other Japanese restaurant which greets us in Japanese once diners come into the restaurant, Nihon Mura staff seems to take diners for granted. Even though there were plenty of seats inside the restaurant and no other diners in queue, they took a long time to seat my friends and I. Note that we are a group of 8, so it’s pretty hard to miss us. And when we are to ask for help, it took us ages to get their attention because the staff all seemed to be hiding somewhere in the kitchen or at corners, deliberately away from our sight. When we sat down, the staff that served us was rude was well, looking as though she was going to rush off to other places. She was super impatient and had a black face on throughout the order. It made all of us panicky to hurry up our orders and spoiling our mood even before the meal ): We were super irritated by it because she was the one hiding from our order, and yet now rushing us to complete it. They way they slam down our utensils and glasses of water was extremely rude too.
The food wasn’t terrific as well. It was quite pricey, so I would expect better quality food. They tasted bland and not well cooked. Perhaps their cooks were as impatient as their service staff, rushing off to somewhere else. I’m not sure if we have visited them on a bad day, or they were like this all along. Checking out other reviews online made me realized their service have been persisting like this for quite some time already.
