| - It is amazing how bad their food were lol
I don't come to this plaza often, randomly walked in this restaurant because of the mouth watering photos outside. The restaurant is small and cozy. The servers were not very attentive, it was probably because we were 4 young 20 something kids, and the other tables were middle aged or seniors, understandable.
We got bbq pork(cha-siu), braided e-fu noodle, chicken stuffed with sticky rice and Japanese styled egg tofu.
The bbq pork was the best among the 4 dishes, but not stunning. It tasted like the pork were first steamed and then roasted. Which made the pork quite juicy, but not as flavorful as the ones made with traditional method.
The braised e-fu noodle was what told us we picked the wrong restaurant. This $9.95(or around that) dish had barely anything other than noodle, not even onions and enough sauce. This dish usually come lots of mushrooms and green peppers or other vegetables. The menu also mentioned mushroom as the ingredient, yes it did had a few pieces of mushrooms, probably 6-7 thin slices. The noodle was bland, dry and very undercooked. We informed the server and she kindly took it back. Few mins later she brings it back, a bit better, but still undercooked and under seasoned. Ten bucks for a dish I can make better at home is a joke.
As we lower our expectation, the sticky rice stuffed chicken was brought to our table. This dish was not that bad, but we agreed that we can order the chicken and rice separately, since preparing them this was do not improve the taste of this dish in any way. The chicken skin were crispy, the rice were a bit salty. Glad we ordered just half the chicken.
The last dish, Japanese style egg tofu. At this point we just wanted to get all the food and go to a differ et restaurant afterward. 6 or 8 pieces of deep fried egg tofu, no seasoning or sauce whatsoever, plain battered fried, did not taste anything Japanese in it. I guess they are trying to achieve tempura style tofu. Food court quality...
We had so much food left but no one wanted to pack anything home. The overall experience was 2.5/5, but the food only worth 1/5. No star for that noodle, 0/5. Maybe we didn't order the right food. I don't see myself coming back unless if the food is improved.
