Hungry for fried rice but reluctant to brave the mad crowds at the self serviced food court, we waited in line to be admitted to Kazokutei Japanese Restaurant for rice and udon staples - fast food but served at the table. My order of omu rice with prawn was ready less than 15mins after our orders were taken. It was not piping hot. Omu rice is supposed to be fried rice wrapped up in a thick omelette. That is the version I get at the food court for $4 or $5, and that was also the type of omu rice

My order of omu rice with prawn was ready less than 15mins after our orders were taken. It was not piping hot. Omu rice is supposed to be fried rice wrapped up in a thick omelette. That is the version I get at the food court for $4 or $5, and that was also the type of omu rice I remember eating at Kazokutei at P.S. last year. But not here.
I was served a mound of fried rice with tomato sauce with a piece of omelette positioned on top to cover the rice beneath. So I did not experience the joy of breaking the usual calzone style omelette to have the fragrance of freshly fried tomato rice wafting up my nose. Even the hawker at any food court's Japanese food stall would take the effort to make a big gomelette and wrap the fried rice inside it. But not at this Kazokutei outlet. The two ebi fry were dry and overcooked, the panko coating was falling off the shrimp, indicating that it hadbeen fried beforehand, then deepfried again just prior to serving. Not expensive at $8.90++ but poorly executed for a Japanese restaurant chain.
