I have walked past this place a couple of times and was always attracted by the long snaking queue and yesterday I decided to try out this new kid on the block with my family. I had read about mixed reviews of this place and I thought to myself that surely this place should be worth queuing since no matter what time I walked past, be it non peak or peak hours, there will be a queue. After queuing up for 40minutes and spotting a few empty uncleared tables while waiting, we were finally seated dow
After queuing up for 40minutes and spotting a few empty uncleared tables while waiting, we were finally seated down. Evidently, the place is understaffed and more specifically with inexperienced staff. There was clearly only the manager (the one dressed in all black) doing all the work as the others, seemingly inexperienced post 'O' level students were idling- walking around nonchalantly and taking small little breaks in the kitchen. There was also only 1 elderly staff who was busy serving the food to the customers and this poor cashier who was running about- serving customers and also handling the payments. All in all, the whole place was in a mess therefore there was nothing much to be expected in terms of service.f
Other than the poor service encountered, the food was fairly disappointing. I believe what attracted the patrons in the first place was the lure of the 'all-you-can-eat appetizers' and the free flow of drink at a mere $1.99 top-up. Frankly speaking, after calculating carefully, it is definitely not cheap at all. At an average price of $13.99++ for a main dish with soup and rice and the appetizers, it may seemed to be a good deal but the serving of the main dish is fairly small and the 'buffet' was hardly topped up at all (another sign of them understaffed). You can spot many patrons waiting eagerly for the chawanmushi only to see it being snapped up within a minute. I had waited for the refill of a few dishes ( marinated radish, toufu, cheese fondue veg) for 1 hour yet by the time I left, all were not refilled yet.
In the month of dec, the in-house special dish was the hokkiado curry and my mum had ordered the dish with chicken. The portion of the chicken was actually quite small. For me, I had pork belly with ginger sauce. The sauce was too sweet for my liking and there was very little taste of the ginger. Overall the meat was very salty as well. My brother had katsudon and look at how small the portion was. The egg was also a tad too runny and therefore at a price of 12.99, everything is definitely overpriced since for the same price, I believe that I can get better food elsewhere, and even a cheaper price in food-courts.
Evidently, people had queued for the novelty therefore for the poor service and standard of the food, I would strongly not recommended!
