| - Summary: upscale looking restaurant offers Chinese dishes that are a bit on the small size, but full - and I mean FULL - of flavour/seasoning/sauce (which can be good... or bad)
Top Must-Get: sesame chicken
Top Regret: sesame chicken (seriously... You must get it just to see. And then you'll regret it, but getting it is worth regretting it)
Our first (and only) time to the Six cafe was as a group of 10 after a late game. Coming in at 10 pm on a Wednesday, we were seated fairly quickly.
The best way to describe the dishes here are that the food isn't bland. This is because the chefs, bless them, absolutely SMOTHER the food in seasoning.
Case in point? The sesame chicken was completely surrounded by sesame. As in, it could've been a duck, turkey, or oddly shaped lobster for all I know, because the skin was literally covered in sesame. There was possibly more sesame than chicken. It was more chicken-sesame than sesame chicken. It (unsurprisingly) tasted very sesame-y and leaned on the salty side. So if you like sesame, it's a Must-Get, and if you don't, it's not. But it was hilarious to watch come out, so you should get it anyway.
Typically, when restaurants do this, you get the impression they're hiding the fact that the meat isn't fresh or the rice/noodles are very moist - but y'know, the chicken (the actual meat/protein) part wasn't that bad: not lick your lips tender, but not super dry either.
On the other hand, the eel fried rice was not considered that popular amongst our team and was 'meh'. Our other carb-heavy dish, veggie fried noodles, was very small and also wasn't particularly appetizing, although it came out decently quick and we wolfed it down since we were so hungry.
Service was decent and it had a good vibe though. I hear the lunch menu is better - I'd probably try that next time instead of a late night dinner!
