Review Pelanggan untuk Hokkaido Izakaya

Have you ever tried Japanese cuisine? I think all of you have tried it before. Sushi, ramen, onigiri, sashimi, etc are all popular Japanese Cuisine. But...have you ever heard of Hokkaido Cuisine? From Tori Zangi, Jingitsukan, to Ishiyaki Chahan.

Here I had a Japanese Class culinary tour, and our target was Hokkaido Izakaya that is located at Pavillion Arcade Apartment next to Citywalk Sudirman and Tucanos Brazillian Resto.

Ordered their Jingitsukan set which is a sauteed lamb in Hokkaido special sauce, while my other friends ordered Tori Zangi Set, Ishiyaki Chahan, Zaru Soba, and etc. Taste was pretty good as I got a huge portion of sauteed lamb served in a hotplate. All dishes were served with miso soup, pickles, and onsen eggs. Also we got a free refill hot/cold ocha.

But I noticed there was a lack of hospitality when we came. When we came in there wasn't any greetings like irasshaimase. But when the Japanese head chef came to the restaurant, all of the waiters/waitress changed suddenly. They greet customer who just came by with irasshaimase phrase. Also our served dishes were taken back into the kitchen, like the Japanese head chef noticed there were some missing ingredients inside our dishes. So when the dishes came back to our table, there were some additional topping wihin them like extra brown sauce and melted cheese on top of our dishes.

Overall foods were good, and I think they need to retrain their staffs regarding the regulations and disciplines in the restaurant.
