after my wife and I did our grocery in S&R fort yesterday afternoon, I was starving and were supposed to eat in nambantei GB3, but since medyo malayo ang GB3 we just decided na sa Red Kimono na lang kumain...for the information of those haven't eaten there...it was a "eat all you can" not the buffet type but you order whatever from their menu and it will be serve to you....
it cost P485+++ per head, and if you order any of their food it is their requirement that a "kamameshi" rice would be included with your orders, whether you like or not, the rice is a requirement, it's just fried rice that comes with some toppings, and the rice is good for 4-5 persons probably, I find it weird 'coz they are a Japanese restaurant and they are requiring you to eat rice..but since I already ordered 2 types of sushi...I won't be bothering with the rice anyway...and I don't order rice anyway whenever I eat in a Japanese resto...but since yun ang requirement nila then kumain na rin ako ng fried rice nila kahit meron na akong order na sushis...
so I ordered salmon sushi and another one I think it's crunchy california maki for appetizer, for main course I ordered chicken teriyaki and chicken tepanyaki plus pork cutlet or katsudon, it's just a two pieces breaded porkchop cut into stips.... servings are small compare to other Japanese resto..
we consumed everything except for two pieces strips of the breaded porkchop and around 20% of the rice was left...
I forget to say pala that the chicken teriyaki and chicken tepanyaki comes with a sidings of sauted "toge"...and the pork cutlet comes with a potato salad sidings...
so when I thought that we're done, I asked for the bill, and the waiter told me that he can't give me the bill 'coz we didn't finish the meal and instead will charge me on top of the P485+++ an additional ala carte price for the chicken teriyaki and chicken tepanyaki plus the katsudon...which is an additional of P800-P900...'coz the three main dishes cost P300+ @ so in short I need to pay an extra P900 on top of the P485/head cost of the "eat all you can"
the reason given to me was bec I didn't finish every bit and pieces of my orders...like the sidings of the main dishes..which in the first place even if I didn't eat the side dishes eh dapat hinde na kasama sa bilang you dahil I ordered chicken teppanyaki and terriyaki na alam naman natin na yun mga sidings niya is just for presentation....
so I stood my ground and said that I won't pay for that whole ala carte amount since all that was left was the sidings while all the was left doon sa pork cutlet was just 2 strips...I had a long conversation with their manager and in the end they just told me that they will just let it pass this time and next time daw they will charge me na...as if there will be next time pa...it's not our first time kumain doon..previous time that we dined there eh wala naman problema...
I just can't help to think na maybe they just wanted to short changed their clients, gusto nila magbayad talaga ng extra ang mga diners nila...come to think of it was Saturday night around 7:30-8 pm na and yet kami lang ang customer, maybe it's a testament na pangit ang patakaran nila siguro...
I just think what was left on our orders was a reasonable left over....kahit saan all you can eat dito they have an acceptable left over, especially kung yun main dishes naman eh naubos mo and ang naiwan lang is yun mga sidings...I mean hinde ko naman ginawa yun ginagawa ko sa buffet sa Las vegas na where I get everything that I fancied and will just eat a spoonfull then ayaw ko na...alam ko naman yun "rules" ng mga all you can eat dito sa Pilipinas....
so just be forewarned that if you plan to eat there, just be sure that you will and you can eat every bit of morsels up to last grain of their rice ....
gusto yata nila dilaan ko pa yun plato nila hanggang malinis talaga at mawala ang any food particles...hehehehe
Red Kimono restaurant at the Fort...
Re: Red Kimono restaurant at the Fort...
sayang rin ung 2 pcs na porkchop tsaka ung kanin.
masyadong dinibdib yung No Leftover policy nila. Most restaurants naman let it pass.

and the staff is always very understanding on left-overs.
