Yeah, that path is very dangerous. I can imagine stilettos getting stuck there and babies falling down. They seem to know as I remember that guy telling me they were planning to change it. Yikes, food is bad - seems to be the backlash now as they can't cope.boo_licioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727039659969643180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-49821496617339893152009-01-22T23:18:00.000+08:002009-01-22T23:18:00.000+08:00Oh by the way, just want to echo many of you on th...Oh by the way, just want to echo many of you on the calling part.

Tenji's management, if you are reading this, please take note:<BR/><BR/>1. Hot. The restaurant was full but not pack to the brim, but temperature inside the restaurant was about the same as outdoor seating minus the breeze. You can tell they are aware of it as there were portable air cooler all over the restaurant. Very uncomfortable.<BR/>2. Extremely bad service. Not once our table was bussed. We piled the plated stories high but every servers that stopped by who brought our food did not bother to clear our table. We moved our plates to the empty table to our next, when they seat the next table, they just push them to one end and sat the new table down. Not till the new guests asked them several times, they were not cleared away and not completely, but just partially.<BR/>3. I booked the table 2 weeks ago and specifically asked for a table far away from cooking station so we don't have to endure the smoke, the server sat us right in front of Teppanyaki station! But they did moved us.<BR/>4. Ugly space and death traps everywhere. The walk way to the main dining hall were layered with stone slaps and pebbles... it is so hard to walk on. What's up with the baby steps at the elevated area? One of those almost everyone misstep and almost fell over?<BR/>5. Talk about ugly, what's up that fake carpet on the outdoor area? The lawn look-alike carpet. I am sure bits of food just got trapped in there. Who is your contractor and designer anyway? What a stupid idea. Oh, did I mention ugly?<BR/>6. Here comes the fatal flaw. FOOD WAS BAD! I was at Joyoga when they first opened, if I were to give them a 8 back then, Tenji deserve a 3. Selection was limited, you can hardly find anything that worth the RM88+ you paid. Those made to order food serving was so small I thought they were meant for gerbils! When you order a side of grill Unagi, you get a piece (Yes, ONE piece) that is about the size of those you find on sushi. The 1.5cmX3cm piece.<BR/><BR/>I took all my managers and supervisors out to a special dinner once a year right before CNY every year. This is one that I was totally embarrassed by.<BR/><BR/>I really hate to see one's investment go down the drain. Please look into these or you just get ready to pack your bag.wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07699195358522726628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-68048229603535369722009-01-19T21:33:00.000+08:002009-01-19T21:33:00.000+08:00Hmmm... somehow, I feel that the Japanese buffet i...Hmmm... somehow, I feel that the Japanese buffet is overrated.. as if the food are really that worth it.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752529329987242759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-22279138322305187492009-01-19T16:42:00.000+08:002009-01-19T16:42:00.000+08:00Angie, for you the SMS phone nos in the above post...Angie, for you the SMS phone nos in the above post.

Can she sue them for that?<BR/><BR/>Or at least ask them to put a link to her site from their article?<BR/><BR/>49.90 is still a bit pricey for lunch. For Japanese buffet, I've always believed that if you are willing to pay RM78 - RM88 per person, you might as well go and eat Japanese fine dining in a big group.<BR/><BR/>That way you can tell the chef, my budget is RM88+ per person. You'd have fresh and authentic (not mass made) Jap food. And you'd be full to the brim as well.<BR/><BR/>Me and my friends did that at Fukuya (RM100 each), which I posted about... much more worth it.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long comment, it's just my 2 cents. =)<BR/><BR/>-WilliamFeedmelah.com!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09316619585235874506noreply@blogger.com
