The Kii To Satiation - Edit
“Tapas” is a word, along with phrases such as “small plates” or sharing board”, that usually sends shivers down my spine. They are indicative to me that I am either going to be unsatisfied, have to battle with others for the premium eats, or both. However, here they offset any internalised terror by tacking on what might be the single greatest string of words in any language: “All you can eat.”
Read moreCutting out the need to stumble across pronunciations of certain dishes or having to have any real, meaningful human interaction with the servers (take that as a positive or a negative), all orders were made via a tablet. There were caveats in place, though: only four dishes at any one time, and there was a fifteen-minute block on orders once one was placed – a measure I feel was devised as a foreshadowing of my inevitable arrival here. However, the limit on dishes proved only a minor hindrance, as the pace of production was superb, and when the most recent quartet had all been served, the shackles of the clock were released.
It took me a good few orders to get through at least one of each of the available options, so there were zero complaints when it came to the variety of dishes, though there were a couple of quibbles when it came to the general standard of what was being served. Perhaps it's no surprise given the nature of the restaurant, but there were definitely some dishes that I would class as passable, while others were nudging toward excellent. At the lower end of this scale were the likes of the kyuri tsukemono, the fried sweet potato and the spicy corn – merely fillers that could otherwise have been avoided. Moving up the scale slightly towards the middle ground were the various sushis, the yaki men, yaki udon and tempura yasai. All were perfectly serviceable and repeatable plates that did a job of filling the meal out nicely. At the upper end of my arbitrary rating system were the miso soup, yasai men, goma wakame and, my absolute clear favourite, the inari – this latter item became a permanent feature on each foursome very quickly.
Overall, I can’t honestly attest that this was the finest feast that I’ve had, but I can earnestly say that it was more than adequate and still represented outstanding value for money.
