SAGA Kitchen is a restaurant that offers a variety of Asian cuisines, including Chinese and Japanese dishes. It is a popular place for those seeking vegetarian and vegan options. The restaurant has a kid-friendly atmosphere, featuring a robot that delivers food to customers, which kids seem to enjoy.
The menu is extensive, and customers can order through a QR code on the table. They can pay online or keep the tab open for more orders. The food is generally well-received, with standout dishes such as the fried rice, miso soup, and the fantastic crab cream croquettes. Other dishes like the Tokyo Shoyu Ramen and House Tonkotsu are also noted for being really good, although some found the ramen soup could have been warmer. The chicken katsu and curry are recognized for their flavorful sauces.
However, there are some areas for improvement. The egg drop soup received negative reviews, with customers complaining about the excessive use of cornstarch and lack of flavor. The service is also criticized for being inattentive, especially towards customers with young children. Some reviews mention that staff may forget requests, as one customer noted they asked for an extra bowl and spoon but did not receive them. Additionally, the restaurant's music choice is mentioned, with some customers finding it inappropriate for young children.
Finding the restaurant can be a challenge, as there is no professional sign stating "SAGA Kitchen," which can make it difficult to locate, especially at night.
Overall, SAGA Kitchen is a good option for those looking for Asian comfort food, with a variety of vegetarian and vegan options. It also serves as a relaxed, dog-friendly sushi spot, perfect for enjoying good food, drinks, and a game. While there are some areas for improvement, the restaurant has potential, and the food is generally well-received.
