AI Spot Summary

The food quality appears to have declined, with the seafood tempura and garlic fried rice lacking flavour. Some dishes, like the tanzen clams, had mixed reviews, and overall, the food seemed overpriced for what was offered.

Once a chill spot, the restaurant has become quite popular and often crowded, which may detract from the original relaxed atmosphere.

The service experience was less than satisfactory, particularly regarding a misunderstanding about a drinks promotion, which impacted the overall enjoyment of the evening.

Known the restaurant back when it opened a couple of years ago. Used to be a nice chill place for drinking but once it became viral, its always super packed.

We walked in for an early dinner and since it was just the 2 of us, they were able to accommodate us. The other tables had reservations on them.

You order through the tablet, hence i am unable to upload the menu. It has a wide variety of food, from ramen to skewers; along with japanese beer and alcohol.

I had a bad experience with the server regarding the beer promotion (need to say the key phrase to get a discount). I ordered in the ipad and called the server over to get the offer. Unfortunately the server said i need to call him over and he will key in the system. This doesn't make sense for me as the drink is already listed as a option in the system, and you usually wont need to interact with the server 🤷‍♂️. I was quite unhappy with the response and cancelled the drinks order. And that interaction ruined my night.

Personally for me, i felt the quality of food went down after it became popular. And today was no different.

The Seafood tempura, garlic fried rice looked ok but didnt have any taste to them. The tanzen clams, my wife liked them but i didn't. One of my clams had some sand in them and overall didn't have much taste. The pork belly skewers and gyoza were ok, nothing special about them.

Price wise, things were quite expensive and not worth it in my opinion.

Personally, I wont come here unless its to drink japanese beer/alcohol or i am invited here for functions.

Do note that its still popular so maybe its just not right for me. Do give it a try and form your own opinion
