Food: Displeasing taste disaster

Highlighted dishes like the Large Fried Chicken and Fried Chicken Tong Dak could have been satisfying, given their crispy texture and juiciness. However, their expected delight was relentlessly massacred by unimaginative preparation, disappointingly poor taste, and questionable freshness. The Kimchi Pancake, despite its savory taste, could not save the sinking menu that was often too expensive for what it offered and confused customers with limited flavor options.

  • Great Portions

    Massive, generous portions frequently praised as enough to share.

  • Okay Taste

    Food is decent or good but not exceptional or mindblowing.

  • Bad Creativity

    So-so food lacks innovation, undermining a supposedly unique experience.

Vibe: Enthralling romantic nostalgia

Amidst all the food chaos, The Prince still holds its fort in terms of its vibe. Its cozy vintage ambiance embellished with stylish, moody lights whisks you back to a noir-style era, creating a perfect date setting. However, this romantic nostalgia is slightly marred by offbeat music choices and substandard drink quality.

  • Great for Dates

    Intimate, romantic booths and decor consistently create perfect date setting.

  • No Buzz

    Outdated ambiance; lacks the excitement or trendy aspect expected.

Perks: Tiresome parking disasters

The Prince stumbles substantially in terms of service conveniences. With difficult parking, long wait times despite reservations, and sometimes unprofressional staff, the restaurant leaves much to be desired. Moreover, dining with toddlers becomes a precarious situation due to unavailability of high chairs. On the bright side, suitable arrangements for large groups and quiet booths for intimate chats are a redeeming factor.

  • Great for Groups

    Staff exceptional for 35+ person party, very attentive, smoothly handled.

  • Okay for Diets

    Mixed reviews on healthiness and grease level in vegetarian dishes.

  • Bad Parking

    Parking difficult, high-density area, valet sometimes only available option.
