Came here for lunch with a large group including children. Not quite sure what to make of the interior theme, it's a mishmash of modern, traditional and cafeteria! We sat on high benches at high tables. There were also high stools that you can add to the table for more seats.
We had the special - short beef ribs with rice, and fried fish fillets with rice. Also ordered the pork cutlet bento, stewed beef bento, chicken cutlet bento and '3 cup chicken' bento. The waitress was patient and helpful, explaining the dishes to us. Prices range from $6.99-$8.99.
The food came out quite fast but we were taken aback when cheap, plastic disposable cutlery was given to us. It was a challenge cutting up a pork cutlet placed over rice in a small plastic bento box with the thin plastic fork and knife. We asked for a pair of scissors in the end. The food didn't taste great, unfortunately, just average. I liked their pickled vegetable side that came with the beef ribs. The rice was cooked too soft, one friend had rice that was clumped together. The specials were served on big plates but sides eg fish balls, came in a takeout paper bag.
The best thing we had was their tea drinks. I liked the roasted, caramelly flavour in the original black tea, both with and without milk. Their tapioca is soft and not overly chewy. The lychee slush was average. If you order their bentos, you can have a drink from a small selection for $1. For slush, it's $3 more. We thought it's $2 more but when the bill came, we found out it's $2 more on top of the $1.
It wasn't a good first impression and it's not likely we'll be back. For the prices we paid we expect more than cafeteria-style dining.
