| - I would probably give it a 1.5, but it's reduced to 1 instead of 2 stars because it is worse than better. I have given this place more than one chance to live up to the expectation and unfortunately it kept disappointing.
On the first visit, I ordered one of the steak hot plate dishes, since it's hard to mess up steak right? I was wrong. I wasn't expecting a beautifully cooked piece of steak, but for the price I didn't think it was worth it. The steak was not well cooked (and no, I do not mean it being well done) but the fat pieces on the steak were literally RAW, making a big piece of it inedible. The vegetables that accompanied it were not very impressive either. The corn is frozen and the cabbage bland. The original item I wanted was the hamburger, but they didn't have anymore (and this was around 2:00 in the afternoon).
So on the second visit, I figured I'd give them a chance for redemption. I got to order the hamburger sizzling plate and sadly, it was once again a disappointment. As a point of comparison, I've had hamburger steak at a different place and this place pales in comparison. But once again the blandness of the vegetables was consistent. I also ordered a mango and black jelly in coconut milk dessert. Let me tell you, do not expect to get what you see in the pictures, because when they note that it is only a reference, they really do mean it. It was a small bowl of coconut milk with a few slices of black jelly and the tiniest pieces of mango. The mango was cut so small you would think it was the frozen corn, and to make matters worse, the mango was already turning colours as the usual vibrant yellow was turning brown.
The only thing that has been decent there were the noodles with cheese and the takoyaki fries. Also on my first visit, they completely forgot about one of my friend's orders and we were only four people, so not a huge group for you to forget one of our meals. At least on the last visit, they were okay with switching the mango for red bean.
Overall, a disappointing experience. I find it to be just a gimmick and there are other places out there with sizzling plate dishes that are far superior. I won't say don't give it a try, but don't have high expectations.
