Please do not be fooled by the photos on the menu. What you get is far from what you expected. I ordered takoyaki and was fully disappointed with the order. The octopus was chopped into smaller pieces and the filling was uncooked. I can foresee that this F&B establishment is going to bite the dust unless they change their cook!

I kept an open mind when I visited this restaurant for the first time and realised that not all the food there is bad. The soups (tomato and corn) are absolutely diluted, something to avoid ordering. Otherwise, the pasta and rice items are okay. The pizza is so-so. There isn't much service, much like Saizeriya.

As a chef with over 10 years of experience, I'm not some wannabe food blogger. I would say it's not worth it. The squid ink scallop pasta ($9.90), tom yum paella ($10.90), truffle pizza ($10.90), and free-flow drinks ($3.90 per person) were disappointing. The squid ink pasta tasted okay but wasn't good, and the portion was very small. The tom yum paella lacked any tom yum or seafood flavour, and again, the portion was very small. You'll be surprised when you scoop the rice; it's just a thin layer. The truffle pizza had no truffle taste, only mushroom, and was super small and thin. Even my wife found every meal to be children's portion food. I will not come back here to eat again until the portion sizes and food taste quality have improved. Sorry, but it's really not worth it.

I would caution against dining here unless it's your last option. While the effort is good, the food is subpar and the pricing is more expensive than what they're trying to imitate.
Food-wise, the smoked duck carbonara is what I would go for again if I ever find myself returning. Do note that the egg pictured on the menu requires a top-up of $1 from the menu price.
The pizza was extremely disappointing, with the crust tasting like a frozen pizza from the supermarket and minimal ingredients (literally one piece of pineapple on each slice).
Most disappointing was the Pescetera pasta, which was left unfinished. The sauce looked like ketchup and was extremely unpalatable.
Good for those with tight pockets, but you can probably find better options at the food court on level 4.

The food here is not great. The soup is too thin and tastes like ketchup mixed with hot water. The panini was essentially a biscuit with fried garlic on it. You should try harder if you want to stick around.

I’m a regular here. I’m giving my honest opinion after seeing many negative reviews claiming their food is worse than Saizeriya.
In my opinion, the food here is definitely better than Saizeriya. The staff are friendly, and the food quality is quite decent, especially considering they use fresher ingredients. The pasta is made from scratch — springy and chewy — unlike many other places that rely on store-bought pasta, which tends to be hard and dry. So I can understand why they charge more for their pastas. I tried their pizzas (thicker dough base) and they are 100 times better than Saizeriya’s (thin gooey wrap).
However, the fried chicken cutlet was a little too dry, likely due to the use of chicken breast. Using chicken thigh instead would result in a juicier and more flavorful dish. The fries were good — they weren’t greasy or sour-tasting, which shows care was taken in preparation.
Overall, it’s clear there’s effort behind the ingredients and presentation. The only area that really needs improvement is the cooking method. Keep it up and don’t let those negative reviews affect you! 5 stars for the effort!

First time ordering Doria, got 2 sets: Takoyaki and Mushroom Chicken sausage Milanese. It's like baked rice topped with cheese and other ingredients. Not a fan. The drink cost $3.90, but best of all, it's free flow, allowing you to switch from cold drinks to hot drinks like Cappuccino. Nice atmosphere and food prices are reasonable.

The place is a surprisingly budget-friendly Japanese restaurant. The food is acceptable, but I don't understand why two out of three dishes for the kids' meal are beef. For someone who doesn't eat beef, this is an area that might need looking into.
The inner section is a bit hot. If you happen to sit there, it could be quite uncomfortable to eat in that section.
