三つ子のうりぼう
Last time, I visited this restaurant shortly after it opened (in mid-February this year), and the meat quality was good and overall delicious. They also had a happy hour, which was great. So, I made a reservation for this day to revisit after a long time, but unfortunately, I was disappointed this time. Firstly, the beef tongue with salt that I ordered last time was very tough this time, except for two out of six pieces. Personally, I found it quite unsatisfactory. I was really looking forward to eating this beef tongue, as it was so delicious last time, so I was very disappointed. Looking back at the photos, the beef tongue last time looked different and more appetizing. Also, the pork skirt steak, which was quite delicious last time, was cut into thin strips this time, lacking in texture and not as good. Looking back at the photos, it wasn't cut so thinly last time. The "addictive hormone" (heart base) that I tried for the first time this time had a good texture, but the portion was small for the price, and the seasoning, which seemed like chili powder, was not something I would want to eat again. However, the pork tongue that I tried for the first time this time was as good as the reviews said, with a good texture and no unpleasant odor. The appetizer, which was miso mayo cucumber last time, was changed to regular edamame this time. The service last time was attentive and polite, with younger staff members, but this time it felt a bit rushed and less attentive, which was disappointing. So, we ordered only half of what we did last time, paid after an hour, and moved to another place. To be honest, my husband and I probably won't revisit this place again. The happy hour until 6:00 p.m. on this day was still ongoing, and the Shari-kin lemon sour and corner highball were half price, which was good. However, it's really disappointing because the meat quality, cost-performance, and service were so good last time.
