Dining at Santouka Ramen

The boy and I are a big fan of ramen and visited Santouka Ramen branch at Central as we had an appointment in Central. This was also a good opportunity to use our vouchers from deal.com.sg. The vouchers could only be used on Mon - Thurs.

1 set of Hiyashi Chuka with Spain Iberiko Tokusen Toroniku at $9.90!

I read up on reviews and was eagerly looking forward to trying the famous egg and pork cheek!

I reached early, at about 6pm, and the restaurant was half-full. That was the start to the not-so-pleasant dining experience. Told the waitress that my friend was coming and she pointed rudely to the chairs outside, and muttered WAIT HERE. Asked nicely if I could order first, as my friend is coming, and we were in a rush. She took my order and snapped WAIT HERE again. (The idea was to have the food served and ready for the bf as we had 30mins to eat before our appointment.)

The "HERE" was a few chairs against the glass windows with the sun baking the chairs! :(

Finally, we were seated and served (had to wait for about 10mins before the food was served, which defeated the purpose of having the food ready for bf to gulp down and run.)

The egg was wonderful, and the pork cheek was delicious. However, the not-so-pleasant encounter with the waitress marred the whole dining experience. Understand that it was prob just the management policy that all diners must be present before seating, but the way it was communicated could use alot more improvement..Dont't think I will be back anytime soon. Will pop by my usual haunt Marutama Raman (also at Central) for my ramen cravings instead.
