This chain restauraunt from Japan that sells fried pork chop was the new hype. We were there anyways so decided to try it out. The lineup was long so we expected to wait so it wasn't a surprise. Started lining up at 1220 and finally got to the cashier and ordered at 1245. We were number 88 and 2 people ahead of us number 86 ordered exactly the same thing we did, more on this later.

Like I said we knew it would be a while so we were patient. I can hear the pick up section calling out numbers and it was approaching the 80's, it was about 110pm now. I sat at a bit of a distance because I know when order number 86 got their food it will basically be my turn or so I thought. Was I horribly wrong. They got their food at 120pm and then it all went downhill from there. They skipped my order all the way to 91 and started calling 92,93 etc. I need to note that their menu is slim and everything was similiar, deep fried pork so it wasn't like my order would take that much longer over anyone elses. This big 6 women starts getting pissed and says she's number 90 where the fuck is my stuff and they make excuses about it. I then show the big 6 chick that I'm 88 and she starts getting angrier and yells at them on her and my behalf. There are other people in the 90's who start joining in. The most frustrating part is I see them giving orders to other people who ordered the same shiet I ordered. Again they make some excuses and fast forward to 145pm I finally get my food. 1 hour 25 mins from lining up to getting my food is not acceptable no matter how you cut it. They aren't cooking anything, the pork chop goes in the deep fryer, the soup is made, the rice is made, its really no different than mcdonalds. It also wasn't a lack of employees as they had tons of workers, 1 who scoops rice, 1 who scoops soup etc. Yes their new so they might not have it down but even with that said this was ridiculous.

The food itself wasn't all that great but not like I was expecting it to be mind blowing. The crunch and fluffiness to the batter was good but it lacked in the taste department. Will never go again. Yes I shouldn't have gone with the hype but it still doesn't justify this poorly run place. Stay clear revsceners you will be disappointed I promise.

I've had just about everything in Aberdeen, and imo nothing there is worth lining up for, EVER.

But people still insist on waiting hours and hours on end for mediocre dimsum, baked goods, or food court joints. And people wonder why you can't ever find a fucking parking spot at Aberdeen.

I don't know if you guys are old enough to remember, but the old aberdeen used to have a theater that plays Chinese movies and a bowling alley. I actually liked going there during my Honger days.

Oh those were the day.

- The theater was awesome and I still miss it..
- The original place that sold fun sa chicken wings although they still have a store so it's all good
- Rhino Cafe
- bowling alley + mini arcade section where you could still smoke at the time
- I still always remember the water fountain clock outside the front door

Miku for dine out on the first day and a few a la carte items, exceptional service, for the most part amazing food. Only complaints are about the atmosphere, the lighting is simply terrible, had a hard time reading the menu and everything looked fuzzy, my iphone couldn't take any pictures that weren't fuzzy either. The place is also noisy as fuck, hard to have a conversation. And walking to my table from the entrance to the other end of the restaurant had at least 10 staff members yell at me in incomprehensible japanese. Excellent food overall but the whole noisy upbeat club-like atmosphere has to go.

LOL we totally hijacked this food thread into something else.

You talking about the video game store that was tucked away in that weird U Shaped section on the main floor? Around the corner from the store that sold dragon ball cards etc? I remember pre ordering Metal Gear Japanese Version when it was announced the game was coming on the PS. Also I bought or rather my parents bought me the white VCD version of PS1 there and it was super baller and I was the only person I knew that had one haha.

LOL, it's alright. We're showing how the new aberdeen, although much bigger, sucks compared to the old one. I don't even know why they took away the movie theatre. I used to bike with friends from Vancouver to see something.

That model shop was the best. I, or rather my aunt, spent at least a grand buying me jap anime figurines from there.

Is that where the new restaurant at Lansdowne get its name? The one own by Top Gun group.

yea it is. They used the same name but diff ownership. I heard back then the old rhino, when customers complained about the food, the servers would bring it back and put gross stuff (not sure what) in it. This incident got onto the news too.
