I only come here for the Japanese spring Festival which I enjoy partaking in the experience!
-Note that I do not eat seafood*
I often find myself disappointed in the food especially in the limited non-seafood options.
The last 2 times I went to the event I had 2 variations of chicken ramen.
Last year I had a tonkatsu(?) Ramen which was very mild in flavour and even tasted a bit fresh as if the meat wasn't seasoned.
My friend however had the crispy chicken sushi and she gave me one and it tasted good.
So deciding I'll come to the festival this year and get that option, I was disappointed to see that it was removed, and there were only *2* non sea food options: vege spring rolls and teriyaki ramen sushi.
The spring rolls were tiny for the price of $58 dollars for 6, and the teriyaki ramen which was supposed to be spicy was very mild.
Maybe this is just how it is in Japan, but I hope it's a bit more flavourful there.
As the seating inside was full, we were forced to sit outside, which was hot. as. hell! It was so hot, my brother got a tan, and my 2 friends who got sushi, their container melted!
The staff were a bit dismissive of me as I did ask if I could order the crispy chicken sushi and they said I had to wait till 3, in an hour, when the festival was over to be able to get items that weren't on the festival menu.
Then when I waited and asked them again at 3 o'clock they said I had to wait till 3:20. I said ok and came back 20 minutes later and they said to wait a bit more. When I came back around 10 minutes later they just flat out ignored me even when I was saying "excuse me" many times. Even the lady who did the Japanese tea ceremony was left standing and nobody came to her so she left. There were aound 3 workers and one of them even steupsed and went on wiping a counter!
I decided to leave, but if they could've just said at around 3 that it would be a while and they might be ready at around 4 that would've been easier as I would've just left and not sat waiting.
I understand being tired after working especially for the busy festival but the response could've been better.
It's easy to say that next year, if they don't have the chicken sushi, I'll go and only get the virgin Pina colada as my order- the only good item over had in Mor Vino
