I recently had the opportunity to dine at Taiwai Dining Room for a lunch, a restaurant that has garnered some attention in the area. However, my overall experience left much to be desired, prompting me to question the value of this establishment. From the lengthy wait time to the quality of service and food, there were numerous aspects that fell short of my expectations.
To begin with, the waiting period was exceptionally long. I had to endure an almost hour-long wait just to secure a table, which is considerably longer than what one would anticipate, even for a popular restaurant. This extended wait time certainly didn't contribute positively to my dining experience.
Once I was finally seated, I found the service staff's demeanor to be average at best. While they weren't outright rude, their service lacked the warmth and attentiveness that one would hope for in a restaurant of this caliber. It's worth mentioning that there were additional charges added to the bill, including a 10% service charge and a fee for tea. These unexpected charges only added to my disappointment, particularly considering the already high prices.
Moving on to the food, I must admit that the quality did not match the steep prices. I started with a cup of tea, which was acceptable but didn't leave a lasting impression. The highlight of the meal was the Soup Dumplings, which were filled with flavorful broth and tender meat. However, the remaining dishes failed to make an impact.
The Spicy Marrow Bones lacked the promised intensity and depth of flavor. It left much to be desired. They were excessively oily, which not only made them unhealthy but also detracted from their taste. The overpowering oiliness masked any potential flavors, leaving the dish lacking in taste and enjoyment. It was a disappointing experience overall.
Finally, the Dry Steamed Beef was dry and lacked the tenderness that makes this dish enjoyable (forgot to take photo)
Overall, I paid $529 for that. My experience at Taiwai Dining Room was underwhelming. The lengthy wait, average service, and high prices did not justify the quality of the food. While the Soup Dumplings were a standout, the remaining dishes failed to leave a lasting impression, ultimately leaving me disappointed. Considering the overall experience and the prices charged, I cannot recommend this restaurant as it does not offer good value for money. There are better dining options available in the area that provide superior quality and service at a more reasonable price point.
P.s.: Unfortunately, my experience at Taiwai Dining Room took an even more distressing turn. After finishing my meal, I suffered from diarrhea, which strongly indicates a hygiene issue within the restaurant. This unfortunate incident further emphasizes the urgent need for improvement in their hygiene practices.
