The first time I came here, it wasn't that great of an experience. It took around 30-45 minutes for our food to come out, and we did remind them it was taking quite some time but the waitress didn't do anything about it. It's so annoying because we're just trying to eat and there's no reason for food to take over 30 minutes to be served. We ordered the Crispy Garlic Cheesy Ox-Tongue Rice ($11.99) which was bleh. I'd give it a 3/5 because it was bland. I had higher expectations for this dish. The other dish we ordered was the Spicy Mentaiko Beef Udon ($12.99) which had a yummy sauce (4/5). It seems as if their spicy dishes taste better.. probably because it masks out all the bad/bland flavours lol. We also ordered a vegetarian hot pot which was bland. It just tasted like veggies boiled in water with msg.
The better experience was the second time I came here, I made it in time for their lunch special which was from 12-3pm, and I ordered the udon with duck breast which had the flaming kitchen special spicy sauce for $9.99. I paid an extra $0.99 for a cold honey green tea, which honestly tasted like those 2L green tea jugs you can buy from T&T, nothing wrong with that cause it was still good. However, the spicy duck breast udon was delicious!!! The udon had the perfect chew to it, and the sauce was sooooo yummmy. They also gave quite a few pieces of the duck breast. This dish alone would be getting a 4/5 from me.
All in all, I don't think $13 is worth it for one dish with no drink. With that said, I'll only be coming here for lunch because I do think $10+1 is a good deal for the spicy duck breast dish with the honey green tea. Just sucks that it'll be hard to make it between 12-3pm because we all have work and school. They should do an afternoon tea menu haha.
