| - Stay away! So many rules and the food is (in a nice way of saying it), crap. I have never been to a board game cafe-- let alone any food place-- as disappointing as this. Not impressed at all.
First, I was set off by so many rules they laid out for you. One, to which you have to purchase an item of food/drink every 3 hours, which is understandable. But the food is such poor quality! I will get to that later.
Another rule is that you are only allowed 2 glasses of water and no more. That raised a red flag. Is this even legal? You are not even allowed to bring your OWN water.
Okay let's talk about the food. I got the coconut toast (~$6) and the menu picture shows a nice caramelized top. I was so disappointed by what was placed before me. First off, what was on the plate, looks different than the picture. My toast had a giant yellow wet patch on top, and was confused on what it was. It smelled like butter, and was iffy about it, but I went with it. It had a mild taste of coconut, but it wasn't what I expected.
In addition to false advertising, the quality they have for food was the deal breaker for me that led me straight to giving this place a 1 star. 1) the bread was DRY AS HECK. As I cut into it, it was as dense as a pound cake and as tough as a week old bun. It was so dry that there were WHITE SPECKS on it! I could shred the bread apart with my fork. I don't even know if you can even find stale bread like this at the discount section of the grocery store. 2) As if it couldn't get any worse, my toast wasn't even toasted-- at all. It was a plain dry bun. So my coconut toast was not toasted nor did it have much coconut flavour. I was shocked. The fact that they were willing to serve such gross food says something about them.
My friend ordered a tapioca slush, to which tastes terrible. In addition, all the drinks were all served in plastic take aways. Which makes sense because if they can't afford to serve water to guests, they can't afford to wash dishes, right?
Sure the place looks clean and decent, though very empty on a Sunday evening, with just 3-4 other tables filled. I wonder why the place isn't popular.
At least they were able to bend the rule of no splitting bills because it wasn't busy. I really appreciate that they didn't make me pay for my order, after discussing with them that I wasn't happy. That made things better and I considered bumping their rating to a 2/5, but I predict this place will go bankrupt soon. Asian places have low standards in general, but this is so extreme. I would not come back nor would I recommend this place, sorry!
