Much
has
been
said
about
Maruchi
since
it
opened,
almost
a
celebrated
welcome
given
that
they
have
a
Teppanyaki
Grill.
We
waited
a
while
before
we
gave
in
and
visited
the
restaurant
because
we
weren’t
sure
of
how
it’ll
live
up
to
the
hype
and
our
expectations
from
Teppanyaki
Grills.
We
visited
on
a
Saturday
night
and
had
the
Fixed
Menu
-
one
meat
and
one
seafood.
They
start
with
Pickled
Vegetables,
crackers,
a
small
salad
and
soup.
We
didn’t
have
the
soup,
the
crackers
were
great,
the
other
two
were
mediocre.
Next
came
starters.
Grilled
Bhetki
Fish
and
Chicken
with
a
spicy’ish
sauce.
Both
were
good,
not
as
good
as
we’d
hoped.
For
Main
Course,
we
took:
-
Chicken
in
Black
Bean
Sauce,
which
was
great
-
Fish
in
Chilli
Oyster
Sauce,
which
was
average
at
best
-
Prawns
in
Lemon
Butter
Garlic
Sauce,
which
was
a
decent
dish
but
more
a
starter
than
a
main
(our
call
this)
-
Lamb
in
Black
Pepper
Sauce,
which
was
disappointing
-
Fried
Rice
without
mushrooms,
which
were
excellent
-
Udon
Noodles
with
Chicken,
which
was
a
good
dish
Dessert
was
3
Ice
Creams
-
Vanilla,
Hazelnut
and
Coffee.
Hazelnut
was
awful.
The
Fixed
Menu
also
includes
one
cocktail
per
person.
We
had
a
to-order
Penicillin,
which
was
great,
a
Tiger’s
Eye,
which
was
superb,
and
then
a
Jasper,
which
was
also
great.
Overall,
the
place
has
a
great
vibe,
good
cocktails,
but
it
lacks
finesse.
There
are
enough
and
more
gaps
in
the
way
the
place
is
made
and
run.
The
menus,
for
example,
were
worn
out
and
stained.
There
was
cutlery
with
stains
too.
Not
to
mention
that
I
called
twice
to
get
a
reservation
but
didn’t
get
a
callback
as
promised,
and
had
to
book
via
EazyDiner.
It
took
4
prompts
to
get
a
refill
of
water
too.
All
in
all,
it
was
a
mediocre
experience.
Did
not
live
up
to
the
hype.
It
is
a
somewhat
entertaining
experience
given
the
Life
Grill
and
the
Great
Cocktails,
so
go
for
that
without
much
expectations
on
the
food
front.
And
yes,
we’d
go
back
because
of
the
(relative)
Value-for-money
proposition
as
compared
to
the
benchmark
for
Teppanyaki
Grills
in
the
city.
