Food: Blandness in every bite

Bak's Kitchen offers dishes that feature prominently in the hall of mediocrity. Their 'best dishes', the baked salmon rice and beef sukiyaki, dive deep into the realm of tastelessness, with customers branding them as bland and disappointing. The veggie rolls barely clamour for redemption- being not too far from 'decently fresh', a faint glimmer in a sea of taste-related despair.

  • Great Value

    Quality food at good price with fast service and A-rating confidence.

  • Okay Quality

    Ingredients usually fresh; occasional lapses with soggy rice, processed veggies.

  • Bad Taste

    Meals described as tasteless, bland, disgusting, and disappointing by customers.

Perks: Parking woes, no outdoor charm

The 'perks' of dining at Bak’s Kitchen are a mixed bag. Customers have frowned at the limited parking options and the pinched indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. On the bright side, the staff's friendliness and prompt service provide some respite on this confusing culinary journey.

  • Great Service

    Fantastic customer service, very prompt, fast, and friendly staff

  • Bad Outdoor

    Limited seating inside and outside, customers often take away food.
