I am a curry lover and have admired the name Suzaku for a long time. This time I went to Ximending, a place I usually don’t visit, to visit the store. Conclusion: Not very loving.
We entered the store right after it opened at 11 o'clock. The store shares a seating area with another beverage store, and we sat at the bar. The curry comes in two flavors: sweet and spicy. The clerk at the spicy mouth always warned that it is super spicy! I only ate mildly spicy food, but was completely put off and ordered sweet beef.
All I can say is that the rice was cooked well👍but the curry sauce itself was quite disappointing. The taste was actually okay, but it lacked that layering. It has a very simple curry flavor. How can I put it? It's a bit like the Javanese curry from 7-11 but not spicy at all (so it loses the taste). What about meat? I don't know if it was just bad luck, but the beef itself tasted a bit fishy. I sometimes get this smell when I buy it from Costco. It’s not serious, but I don’t expect to get this smell in restaurants.
In addition, you can choose some spicy food after adding sauce. I ordered a little bit and it was really super spicy. I don’t understand why these two are so extreme. Maybe the slightly spicy sauce after mixing will be my favorite flavor. But such extreme two sides make me not love either one🥲
Finally, transportation is a big problem. I happened to have a direct bus and arrived there smoothly. But friends who were riding bikes were miserable. It took a record of 20 minutes to find a parking space. Even before I could eat, I was so annoyed by the search for a parking space.
The decoration and design packaging are very good, but the food itself is not my taste. Plus the traffic is really far away, so I don’t have much chance to try it again!
