Most people expect a good review from a media tasting but I am not going to sugarcoat anything here. Let’s start with the positives first, the variety of beef is good and you can get to try different cuts from Japanese and Australia, and the staff were very warming and friendly during the event.

However, it started awkwardly as the heating plate at our assigned table was spoilt since afternoon but we were still given the table that evening. We had to then move to another table to sit with three others in a very confined space. The eating experience was uncomfortable as there was just too little space on the table to properly cook and eat. It was frustrating to see that there were available seats at other tables but were reserved for people who came later than us. Perhaps it was due to the numbers or a popularity contest, but it got off to a bad start.

To make matters worse, the restaurant was evidently not ready to open to the public yet as our table and the one beside us experienced a mini ponding situation on the ground due to the condensation of steam from the heater. Perhaps the piping ventilator was not fixed properly? I’m hoping that the restaurant fixes this problem soon.
