Food: Tasteless extravagance
The Past Memories fails to make an impressive culinary statement. The confluence of cuisines hints towards a lack of focus leaving the diners lost in the maze of options. The taste of their dishes is an equal letdown. Reviewers have complained of bland and dry food - especially the seafood and vegetables. Furthermore, the value does not reflect in the pricing. Exorbitant prices for mediocre food heavily dents their image.
Large Portions
Generous portions perfect for groups, often providing more than enough.
Okay Taste
Reviews reflect a mix of amazing and mediocre food, with varying satisfaction.
Not Creative
Varied cuisines in one restaurant indicate a lack of focus.

Vibe: Loud music eclipses coziness
The warm lighting and private booths of The Past Memories offer a cozy, stylish ambiance. However, this is often disrupted by excessively loud music. This tends to overshadow their good variety of alcoholic drinks. It's a spot for large groups, but not an ideal place for a romantic date night.
Great Buzz
Trendy, lively, with a hip crowd and photogenic, Instagrammable aesthetic.
Okay Ambiance
Vibrant, lively atmosphere with some finding it too loud or dark.
Bad For Dates
Excessively loud and crowded, not conducive to romantic dates
Perks: Varied service amidst noise
Ample parking and accommodation for large groups are the few perks at The Past Memories, but these are nullified by the overwhelming noise. Reservations could be a hectic affair on busy weekends and the crowded outdoor space further aggravates the situation. Dietary needs or preferences of picky eaters or vegetarians might not find due consideration here.
Great For Groups
Accommodates large groups with spacious seating and great atmosphere.
Okay Service
Service varies, combining quick seating and friendly staff with some delays.
Bad For Diets
May not suit picky eaters, allergies, vegetarians, or similar needs.
