Koma Singapore
(located at MBS Singapore)
Seemed very nice from friends visiting the place as well.
Personally was drawn into the decor alone but didn't really read up on the rest of it.
Ordered On:
20March2020
Unagi Truffle Roll SGD25
*First dish came really fast in about 5mins after having sat down. And the wait from dish one to the next was a good 25mins wait. Simple fair that felt almost ready made unagi slapped atop a basic made Maki. The premium goes to the truffle which did shine but that's about it. Premium product over a basic tasting seemingly per-prepared unagi on Maki.*
Daily Special Broiled Kimidai SGD45
*Was quite reluctant to wait for the second dish as it was such a long wait in between. We went for the Kimidai a seasonal, red deep-sea fish. For the pricing, one would expect a whole head probably. On flavor and texture alone, the fish was enjoyable but for value, it fell way short.*
Total Fed 2 SGD82.39
Food 3.5/5

From
the exterior it was extremely unassuming but perhaps that was the whole
effect they were going for. As one walks through the red gates, Koma
expands into this beautiful wide space with amazing decoration and
interior. Unfortunately this was the only high light for the night.

Food 3.5/5
*The Kimidai was nicely prepared but the Unagi felt like basic product slapped on with premium topping and finished off with a price tag.
Serivce 1.5/5
*Really bad service experience.
Visited on a Friday with low crowd numbers and staffers were plenty.
Staff-centric? Anyone would want a picture at the iconic red gates, but staff walked through the shot rather than allow patrons to have a picture taken. (Note that this was low crowd and still early in the evening at 6pm.)
Staff knew the menu but was rattling what was recommended. Staff wasn't going through the menu and instead of directing patrons to the order of say Yellow Tail as printed, staff reiterated as Hamachi. If one didn't draw the co-relation, patrons would be thoroughly confused with what is what.
Given the fine establishment and premium paid, its a takes away from the dining experience that service staff were conversing in native tongue within ear shots of guests.
Food pacing within dishes was way too long in between dishes. 25mins.
Value 2/5

Ambience 4/5
It does give that wow factor, with the small entrance opening up the huge interior space which was a visual spectacle. Grand for some, but maybe a bit isolated and non-cozy for some if seated in the middle of the dining area.

Won't be coming back anytime. A disappointment and huge let down in the evening. In fact had second meal at Toast Box there after. Was trying for Black Tap but the place had a queue.
Have only been disappointed by a meal two other times such as this. The first in HKG for some famed crab porridge at Chi Ji Wan Tan Mee, and another con-job of lobster risotto in BCN in Suamu Bar. This definitely joins that list as the number three. Even the dry aged duck from Perth Wild Flower was a far more superior dining experience with the view, service and dish itself which out prices the Kimidai served here. In my opinion, avoid.
Instaworthy place, falls flat on service and overall dining experience. Food was so-so but unfairly based on just these two orders.
