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.

After trying out 2 French restaurants in town, we decided to try this at Richmond
this one.. I was so impressed with the crab pie
once bite on the pie, the smell of the crab immediately giv u the satisfaction
seriously, It was so so so yummy

however the main dishes were just average..

Saw some review online and they giv good review for this one in Richmond
this restaurant definitely better then the previous one
as there were few group of customers had their dinner as well

Went to a French restaurant that intro in a book after work

and follow by some main dishes which I totally 4got the names and type
I checked the menu and found out current menu is for July not for May
and paid for £39.50 for 3 courses (starter, Main and dessert)
we did enjoy the food as its really taste good :)
Don't miss out if you would like to try yummy French food

The main dishes overall also quite nice, just I could not remember them.
