| - Slow service and meh food...
We went here around 2:30, they didn't appear to be too busy but there were a couple of people being served.
Initially we weren't sure whether to take a seat or to order at the counter as there was no signage indicating any sort of direction. Since we intended to eat lunch we figured we'd have a seat at an open table. After about 5 minutes the server, whom did not seem to speak much English, apologized for the wait and dropped off the menus. When she returned we placed our full order for food, drinks and deserts (mince pork rice, pork belly rice, Thai milk tea, orange yuzu, matcha espresso latte, honey toast, and 2 taiyaki). 20 minutes or so passes with no food or drinks, and the server returns to inform me that they have run out of the Mince pork that I ordered. They were also out of the curry rice. I then began to ask about the appetizers, and the server basically discouraged me from placing another order as it would take too long. At that point I figured I would just share with my sister and save room for desert. Another 10 minutes passes and our 2 pork belly rice dishes come out, but still no drinks. At this point the restaurant has filled quite a bit and we start to notice that other tables who arrived after us were getting their drinks. After another 5 minutes or so passes and finally the server arrives with 2 orange yuzu.. we only ordered one. Unfortunately the order was wrong and was missing the boba. Next a different server brings the matcha latte, which my husband noticed was taken from another table (probably dropped off incorrectly like our yuzu). About half way through eating, our final Thai milk tea arrives also missing the boba! Sensing a theme here I hope... as for desert it came out in the same manner, one at a time and greatly spaced apart; except we gave up waiting for our second taiyaki.
I don't think the problem was with the server but rather the kitchen as my sister noted that when she was settling the bill our orders were input correctly.
In all we spent almost 2 hours at the cafe and left extremely disappointed...
They should probably just stick to drinks, as that was the only enjoyable part of our visit.
