first, the trainee waiters seem to not know how to properly set the table. after setting up my wife and son's paper placemat and plate he was about to place mine. what he did was place it right side up but suddenly changed his mind. since i was a chair away he pulled the paper placemat towards him placed the plate upside down then slid the whole thing back to me. all this while making noise on placing the plates without care on the table.
second, the food seemed different than usual. they seem to changed the rice that they use. it was a bit dry and did not have the stickiness japanese rice should have. for myself, i ordered ebi hamburg katsudon. my rice was the same dry, unsticky type. the thing is, the sauce was a bit on the salty side and seemed like it was prepared haphazardly as one side had too much sauce while the other just enough. in that instance i could've preferred the just enough at is was too salty than usual.
third, the place. i haven't ate there for quite sometime now but the leaky aircon was still leaking. how long will it take them to actually fix it. it leaks directly on the couch.
the onyl good thing is that the regular staff are very accomodating and energetic. the guy who was serving us always had a smile on. unfortunately, our take away (which was sushi) took longer than expected to arrive (it was just tamago and there weren't a lot of customers) plus i had to call their attention a couple of times so i could get a glass of water.
i hope the old staff rotates here again as we didn't see familiar faces. as for the food, the tempura is still okay here.
