I went to Tenji this afternoon with colleagues for lunch. The food was good, some really good.

BUT... (there's always a but)... I felt like I didn't get my money's worth. That's because they were so damn slow at replenishing the food.

I didn't manage to score a piece of sake sashimi or any oysters. The dim sum came out when I just entered the restaurant, but everytime I roamed, they didn't replenished it. The tempura section had about 6 plates for the dishes, but only 2 were always filled... with yam. I don't even know if they have tempura prawns, fish, salmon or pumpkin because I never saw it at all!

The tepanyaki stuff took a gazillion years to serve, I placed my table numbers into the bowl that says fish, prawn and mussels. Guess what? They served ONE miserable piece of fish, two prawns and two mussels.

The little coconuts, similar to the ones in Jogoya... but that's where the similarities end. Instead of displaying it nicely on a bed of ice like they do in Jogoya, they had one guy at the bar, knocking a hole through the coconut and then inserting a straw into it. I'm sure its more cost effective that way, but considering its Friday lunch, and most likely you know that its fully booked, shouldn't you get it all done beforehand?

I did not have any bad experience with the hostess. But I have a big problem with the waiters/waitresses. I took quite a while roaming for food (Coz there were none) and also had to queue for certain stuff. It took me about 8-10 minutes I think. But guess what? My previous plate wasn't cleared!... And there was one time when I was walking, I stopped because I missed my table... But this waitress, she bumped into me shoulder to shoulder, but never said a single word of sorry. WTF man. Bloody rude.

Verdict: Taste good... But never again.
