I'm Japanese. I'm writing this honest review in English to avoid any misunderstandings. I'll try to keep it clear and concise. For those who think this is authentic Japanese yakiniku (BBQ), it is NOT. 1. Food Quality: 3/5 Average quality. Don't expect the same quality as authentic Japanese yakiniku, because this is definitely NOT authentic. 2. Food Portion: 1/5 THE WORST portion I've ever seen. THE WORST deal. I was shocked. I ordered 3 à la carte meat dishes, and the pricing was obviously higher than the set menus, yet the portion was less than the set menus. Please explain. Please do the calculation for me. Not just the portion, but they were served in very thin slices! I'm a petite woman. I finished all 3 dishes within a few bites and was still hungry. 3. Food Taste: 2/5 The cabbage salad had too much dressing and was too salty. All the meat had too much fat and less meat. 4. Genuineness: 2/5 On top of the worst portion and value I've seen in my 36 years as a Japanese yakiniku lover, I must say this restaurant is not honest with you. The "Korean Lettuce" is obviously just regular lettuce and not "Sanchu," the actual Korean lettuce usually served at Yakiniku shops. The actual portion and the images in the menu DO NOT ALIGN. 5. Price and Value: 1/5 Overpriced for the quality and quantity. I paid S$32.97 for food that only filled a quarter of my petite stomach. For this price, I could actually eat better food at Orchard. 6. Service: 4/5 Average service, accommodating staff. Hence, I'm giving 1 star for their efforts. It's a shame that this restaurant chain uses a Japanese name but serves low-quality food. I have nothing but regret for my bad decision. I've been working so hard, and the S$33 I paid didn't even fill my stomach. 客をナメるな (Don't underestimate your customers).
