I read good review about this place so initiated a dinner with my good friend there last week, but it turned out to be a BIG and total disappointment and this place to me is so over-rated! 1. Extremely bad ventilationAs soon as I arrived around 7pm (the restaurant opens from 6pm-3am), the whole restaurant was already very smoky with strong kitchen smell of oil and smoke which made all my clothes, hair and face smell horribly. Can’t imagine how bad the restaurant can smell if you go later in the
1. Extremely bad ventilation
As soon as I arrived around 7pm (the restaurant opens from 6pm-3am), the whole restaurant was already very smoky with strong kitchen smell of oil and smoke which made all my clothes, hair and face smell horribly. Can’t imagine how bad the restaurant can smell if you go later in the evening.
2. RUDE chef
We ordered a lot of food and an order of mixed mushroom as we needed some veggie. The mushroom was very salty that it actually tasted bitter. We asked the waiter politely to see if they can change the mushroom or cancel this particular order. The waiter was very polite and said he would check with the Japanese chef (not sure if it’s the owner). Guess what, the waiter looking a bit embarrassed when he returned and told us “Our chef tried the mushroom but he said this tasted totally fine as how he normally cooked it. So our chef said he won’t change it and asked me to return this dish back to you....”
Then he just left the mushroom on our table and walked away. Such response and attitude of this Japanese chef was really rude.
3. Mediocre food
Apart from the super salty mushroom that the chef “threw” it back to our table after he tasted it, other dishes that we ordered was not good at all that any other teppanyaki restaurants located in that building or in Causeway Bay can do a much better job than Kozy.
Mixed mushroom: super salty
Ox tongue: super small portion and the ox tongue was not fresh
Shrimp: not fresh at all
Oyster: not fresh at all
Okonomiyaki with pork: Mediocre if Kozy was opened in Japan, I don’t think they can sustain their business for long...
The bad food is relatively a minor issue compared to the rude Japanese chef at Kozy. I had very high expectation before I had my first dinner there which turned out to be a complete disappointment. Never again!
