Food Review - Kyomomoyama

Went for dinner at this place called Kyomomoyama or 京桃山 at Central... initially never intended to eat there coz the online reviews of the place are very bad... was looking around for a dinner place at Central when the 30% off all food items sign at its doorstep attracted us... well... I tot since I tried most of the restaurants at Central, a 30% discount should earn it a chance for me to give it a try...

Went in, looked thru menu... mostly set meals... all price tags start from above 20 bucks... not cheap... the ala carte main courses (rice bowls, udon etc) cost the same so might as well go for the set meals... ordered a unagi & sukiyaki gozen... sounds good...

Turned out the reviews were right... service was slow, we waited more than 15 min for our food (biz was not really that good, some empty tables & some of the staff were juz standing around)... food came... unagi was ok (u can't go wrong with unagi)... only 3 miserable slices of beef in my sukiyaki... the sushi my fren ordered looked & tasted juz like those u can get at neighbourhood jap restaurants (sushi tei, ramen ten etc)... after 30% discount plus some card discount, still cost around $22 per pax... not worth it...

Overall verdict... slow service, substandard food, overpriced price tags... not worth a second visit... oh why didn't i juz stick to Marutama Ramen* instead?
