Food: Filling but lackluster meals

If you're seeking variety and quantity for a bargain, you're in luck. Despite some references to satisfactory taste, the general consensus does not point to a consistently exceptional culinary experience. The freshness of ingredients might offer some compensation, as seafood and tempura seem to be a strong point.

  • Great Value

    Repeated emphasis on amazing value, affordability, and quality for the price.

  • Okay Quality

    Tempura often fresh and crunchy, though some say quality can be hit or miss.

Vibe: Unsettling hustle and bustle

The bustling market without the benefits. Expect a noisy ambiance due to the busy market setting and open seating arrangement, with a special mention to the reported struggles for a date-night due to difficulty in finding privacy. Not the place to retreat if you're in search of hushed, intimate conversations.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Noisy ambiance due to busy market and open seating arrangement.

Perks: Efficient service, dismal parking

Despite being complemented for efficient and friendly staff service, many things are found lacking here. The negatives severely encumber the perks - peak hours cause parking nightmares and securing a table during prime time can feel like a daunting mission impossible. Even the much-valued concept of outdoor seating couldn't escape the onslaught of noise and overcrowding.

  • Great Service

    Many reviews praised efficient, friendly staff and very quick service.

  • Bad For Groups

    Food court seating can be cutthroat and difficult to find.
