Dinner in town

Yesterday we went for a walk in Kings Park and after that decided to have dinner in town at Taka. After parking our car at a nearby multistorey carpark we headed towards our food place. On the way we saw another Japanese Restaurant Yoshida. We have passed by the place a couple of times and hubby asked if we should try the place out instead so in we went.

It does look pretty Japanese in the deco with Japanese instrumental music in the background. The restaurant was award the gold plate award a few times so we though the food should not be too bad.

Hubby ordered a small sushi platter, handrolls, ageshi tofu, yakitori and tori teppanyaki to share.

The service was pretty good and prompt but no smiles and the food wasn't too bad. I liked the yakitori sauce but the sushi platter was a disappointment compared to others that we had eaten. The seving was small with 7 pieces of sushi and 4 pieces of maki.

At the end of it, the total bill came up to $92.50. If asked to pick a restaurant to bring friends to, I doubt that I'll go back there. Main reason is that after we came out of the restaurant, we didn't have the type of feeling you get when you have a great meal and that it was really worth it. Furthermore, throughout the whole night, we didn't get a smile from any of the service staff and when we were paying, even the lady boss seemed to be grumpy although she did ask how the food was. I had to say that it was ok as the feeling I got was that if I had said anything else, she was going to throw me out. Definitely different from the boss at Tansawa Tei.
