I was at Pacific place last nite with a friend and saw this new place. Since i like robatayaki and that's what they claimed they're serving, i gave it a try. The deco is nice and at the reception i saw there were biz cards saying they also have restaurant at London and somewhere else, so i figured it shouldn't be too bad.Sat down and ordered the following:- Roka grill salad ($68)- Grill asparagus with sesame sauce ($4x)- Grill egg plant with "7 taste powder" ($5x)- Grill pork belly / ribs ($19
Sat down and ordered the following:
- Roka grill salad ($68)
- Grill asparagus with sesame sauce ($4x)
- Grill egg plant with "7 taste powder" ($5x)
- Grill pork belly / ribs ($190)
- Red miso soup with seaweed and mushroom($5x)
- Fried udon with duck ($98)
The grill salad was ok and it was the first dish that came. After we started eating just for a min, the waiter came and placed the soup AND the udon down as if he's at a rush. Think it was awkward that they're serving the appetizer and the main (udon) at the same time but we didn't really care and kept going. Afterwards, all the remaining dishes came all at once and the table basically just went out of space... but i don't think the waiter cared too much.
As for the food, the miso soup is luke warm and taste as average as you can get. The duck blah blah blah udon taste like 五香肉丁抄烏冬 from a local 茶餐廳. The asparagus is over-grilled and not in robatayaki style, rather like a bbq style. Same for the eggplant, tasteless and not hot at all. As for the ribs.......... completely tasteless!! Apparently it was't even marinated for long and the meat is NOT tender at all. I can't believe they are charging $190 for a dish like that. And the size of it is pityful.
All in all, i think it's just a pretentious place that's completely overpriced with very average service and below average food. I'd recommend you to go the 西營盤第三街 BBQ rather than here, cos it's 10 times cheaper, taste even better, and the people are nicer.
