3 /5 Minkee Chong: Overall dining experience was good. Just thought the food didnt worth that high price.
Seating
We were 3 and we were there a Monday night around 7.30pm. It wasnt packed at all but they allocated us to a table that would you would have to share seating with others (a big table that could seat around 8 to 10 people). It was a bit awkward given that there were many other tables available. I was guessing they might have a lot of people afterwards but it turned out wasnt. The seating would have been done better.
Food
We had a ÂŁ40 (per person)tasting menu that they said would cover most of their popular dishes. Overall, I would pay ÂŁ30 at most for this tasting menu. ÂŁ40 is overpriced I guess for their "trendiess" and "fashion Asian /japanese/ chinese" meal idea. The food was quite good and mostly were strong in flavour and with pleasant presentation. The tuna was intriguing as I found the sauce gave really unique taste. All the other food was normal from my view. The pork belly was quite well made meat,soft and crispy skin. The duck was too dry. I didnt like the sauces that went together with both, didnt match from my point of view. Chicken wings were the Korean style one, strong flavour, mild spiciness. The desert was some fun gimmick as they gave you fire to grill the marshmallow yourself. The taste of the marshmallow however was special, lemon like taste. Their buns were ok. Hot and fresh, proper texture. But a lack of the sweetness that was supposed to be there for Asian white buns, which was a bit disappointing. The juice were fresh and nicely made
Takeaway
We couldnt finish the food so we would like to pack them away. Sadly they had a policy / restriction that their premises werent allowed to let people take food away. You could do that in your own way though.
Service
Waiters were quite attentive. The manager was helpful.
