"So disappointed as we have previously left a review about two years ago that was nothing but praise. With the menu being reduced from when we last ordered, we assumed the quality of food must have improved since the kitchen could focus on what they excelled at; an assumption that turned out to be wrong. We ordered a superfood bowl and a Katsu bowl with a side of Mac n cheese and sweet potato fries to share. Katsu bowl severely lacked seasoning and flavour. Though the sauce was tasty, the rice was bland and the coating of the chicken was overdone. The superfood bowl felt like it was thrown together. We expected chicken breast slices, but instead got unappealing shredded chicken that looked hastily thrown on and, as a result of being kept under the heat lamp, was dry. The bowl was also missing avocado and feta, of which we had to ask the waiter if we could be given it which we were promptly. The issue is that the avocado given was simply put, chunks that were too big to eat and seemed to be a clear rush job rather than having any thought put into how we would eat it. The Mac n cheese was by far the biggest let down. The only flavour came from the cheese topping; the sauce and pasta itself were so bland and inoffensive it would have been more suited to feed a 4 month old. Sweet potato fries were arguably the best part of the meal. All other desserts outside of the brownie sundae were somehow unable to be boxed and taken home due to them being in, and I quote, glass dishes . As a result, our brownie sundae became a brownie square with some thin single cream which promptly went into our bin at home. To call it a sundae would be misleading, and despite eating out a fair few nights of the week we have never found a place that could not transfer a dessert from a dish to a take out box. Service was fine. No complaints. Will not be going back again. Utterly disappointed. This was supposed to be a celebratory meal and instead we have left feeling disheartened that a place we liked so much has slipped so far.
