AU2009 - Roppongi Japanese Restaurant

Being in Wollongong for so many years, this is probably my third or fourth time in Roppongi, a venue we chose to have a small gathering dinner.

 

 

It seems to me that the service remains at the same standard as years before, which is obviously poor services. The waiter and waitresses are usually not attentive and they only have specific people to do certain tasks. So, if the restaurant is busy (which usually are), chances are, it will take a while before they attend to you, even though you may see a bunch of people standing around doing nothing.

But, if you are into Japanese food, then you don’t really have much choices as there are only three Japanese restaurants in Wollongong.

Anyway, I guess as long as you were out with a bunch of friends, just like we did, you will be enjoying the dinner there.

 

Seafood teppanyaki

 

Grilled salted salmon

 

Grilled eel in teriyaki sauce

 

Soft-shell crab tempura

 

Large assorted sushi

 

All in all, I think the food are okay, but pricey and small portioned. In addition, there’s plenty of room for improvement in terms of their service. I don’t think I will ever go back to Roppongi again, or recommend it to anyone else, unless we plan to have another gathering at a Japanese restaurant (and there are no new places available).
