London Spring 2011 Day 12 : Dining @ MAKI Japanese Restaurant, Richmond

ocha - Japanese Green Tea

this one, so so

this yakitori (chicken) still not bad

Date: 20052011

Restaurant: Maki Japanese Restaurant

Address: 147-149 Kew Road

TW9 Richmond

OK

this is the restaurant open by Hongkey I guess coz overheard the staff were talking in Cantonese

when I purposely tested the waitress I want ocha (おちゃ) - Japanese Green Tea as my drink,

the waitress gave me the expression of never know such thing

when I asked they got served chawanmushi (ちゃわんむし) - steam egg

the waitress asked me what is that and I , as the customer, had to explain what is that dish =.=" and of coz, they dun have this kind of simple thing

as a service line, u not even know the basic dish or drink of the line u involve

this was very disappoint me

If you wanted to try out Japanese food own by native Japanese, this one is not ur choice

quite disappointed as I was not able to try out the real Japanese restaurant that open by native during London.

Rating: 5/10

Broken Glass In Sakae Sushi

as a service line, they should not serve this kind of broken glass to their customer

This is to treat Jasmine for her birthday

hence I suggested this place

this is my 2nd visit

after the first visit with my ex CRM colleagues 1 year ago

and this place was introduced by Japanese

again, I ordered the Unagi..

I still prefer the one in Kuriya

Renkon Kinpira is quite nice and nato is good for beauty

Some compliments for them:

their service is good , where they keep filling up the Ocha (おちゃ) - Green Tea for us

and U will not find very hard to get them to serve you bcoz they keep passing by

Besides that,

We paid by using credit card and one of the waitress

informed us that the line was busy and she apologize for keeping us waiting

this is good to inform customer instead of waiting for no reason

Kuriya Japanese Restaurant @ Bangsar Shopping Center

this one, I 4got the name, anyhow, not nice at all

this is nice

the food of mine :) oishi ne (very very yummy)

Unagi Ishiyaki - RM 28.80

Unagi set lunch which cost RM32

Date: 19th Sept 2010

Venue: Kuriya Japanese Restaurant, Bangsar Shopping Center (BSC)

Type : Japanese Food
With: ex CRM colleagues - Izumi-san, Yoke Fun, Kim Lee, Susan Cho, Joce, Shiho-san

I knew this place when I saw Vialentino's blog

he mentioned need 3 to 4 digits to pay for the bill

well, we did not order any ala cart (like those sushi, sashimi)

so each person need to pay around RM50, which is quite ok

for a restaurant which always visited by Japanese native

I can say

My Unagi rice (not set lunch type) is very very delicious

And I managed to finish all the rice in that big bowl :)

Due to very hungry, I did not took any photo of the other food order by another 3 ladies

this is a good place to have a try

Price : a bit pricey (pricey even with the set lunch, but the quality of the food worth it)

Rating: 8/10

Revisiting: definitely YES
