| - Yikes, I did not like this place.
I came here one night with a friend, and it was relatively not busy. I ordered the pork cutlet curry while she got a parfait. Service was pretty standard for an Asian place (so neither great nor terrible).
The food was so bitter. I didn't understand why. First off, the cutlet was more like a thin sheet of breading. I couldn't even tell if there was pork in it. Maybe it was burnt and that's why it was so bitter, but even without that, the rest of the dish wasn't good. The curry didn't taste like curry, more just like some vague brown sauce. You could literally only taste the sweetness of the corn mixed with bitterness and black pepper.
My friend's parfait wasn't faring any better. She gave me a little bit to try, and I found it so meh. Not even average, just meh. She felt the same way. She described it as just cereal, yogurt, and ice cream. There was no wow factor or even anything to make her think it was worthwhile to eat as a dessert. She ended up not finishing it.
Look, maybe we ordered the wrong items. I saw some people eating udon and that looked pretty good, so I'm willing to give this place the benefit of doubt and return one day. Based off first impressions though, I am beyond disappointed in Flaming Kitchen, especially since I had heard from my peers that it was a pretty good place.
