Nabe Hotpot & Sukiyaki is the place you bring friends you hate to celebrate their birthday. It was an absolutely horrifying experience. We arrived at 9pm - it was late and most of the nearby shops were closed or closing already. Wife wanted sukiyaki, and sukiyaki is in the name, so I insisted to give it a try. After queuing up, when one of the staff asked which soup we wanted, and there was no sukiyaki soup base, that was the first warning light which I foolishly ignored. As we entered, there were tables full of people throughout the restaurant. The floor was sticky and I did not want to leave my bag on the floor, and the chair was very uncomfortable. The seafood was drench in questionable liquid - which makes one wonder if it should have been on ice instead. I quickly looked at the cooked food to hopefully find something that could keep us satiated even temporarily as we had the rest of our dinner, took a plate of sushi, and the tuna inari was bad - like not that it didn’t taste good, the fish was off the tofu was sour, it was a real nightmare. I kept trying to find a positives of this place, and there were little to none. Like literally it was expensive, noisy, the staff weren’t friendly or helpful, the dishes were still wet and the rag they used to dry the dishes certainly di not look sanitary. They had used dishes near new dishes and every dish you took felt like a game of “guess which one is safe to use”. The fridge had very visible specs of dust on the exhaust fan. He frozen food had ice which had not been melted through. The fried rice was nearing empty at the start of our meal, it was literally empty at the end off it. We tried to finish the sliced meat - they smelled bad and tasted terrible. I tried stomaching the food but at the same time contemplating if the penalty for food wastage was worth a hospital visit, and in the end we just paid the bill and left. The only bright spot is they were not strict on the penalty, but after reading other reviews about food poisoning, I imagine it would be hard to insist that somebody finished food that was way past “questionable”. It is truly a mystery why the health ministry had not shut this place down. This place felt like where all the all you can eat buffet sell their near expiring food to and they then serve it to you. And it would be a lot more easier to be forgiving if they had an affordable price, it was not, it cost 60+ per pax. Needless to say, I had to apologies profusely to my wife for not trusting our gut feeling and just leaving when we had the chance.
