Chikko Cafe Eastlands — Restaurant in Hobart

I went there with my daughter on Saturday (yesterday) . My daughter had been there before and said the food was good. Well! Not this time. I had deep fried wontons, good deal: 10 for $10. But the oil they had been fried in was obviously not fresh and they didn't taste good. More concerning though: only one other table was occupied so good social distancing. But there were about 5-6 other free tables, and before sitting down I went to each table, but they were all dirty, everyone of them had food debris, crumbs. Nothing wiped down. I asked the waitress if she could wipe our table down, she just gave it a very quick wipe, but left all the other tables. No one was sitting in them, I'd have thought it a good time to wipe them down. Later a group of three came in, sat down at one of the tables I had gone to first, (it had crumbs all over it), I watched, they ordered, they were served but the table wasn't wiped down at all. We ordered a Mint Soda, something I have had before at other Asian restaurants. This drink resembled nothing I have ever tasted before: it was bright green (presumerably resembling mint), and had a large solid lump of ice in the glass so that there was very little room for any liquid. My first sip, I nearly brought it back up: it tasted just like very strong peppermint toothpaste with a strong aftertaste resembling mouthwash.

I won't...

We have been coming here for years, but the last 3 or 4 times post renovations this place has been woeful. Food has become so average service unbelievably rude.

No napkins, tables always filthy, have to get up repeatedly to ask for cutlery, napkins, plates etc and then it is like pulling teeth.

Our chicken dumplings were undercooked, rice paper rolls were so dry needed water to get them down. So bad in fact we were going to take them home for the dogs but were refused a tiny container unless we paid 50c for it. I note if your getting the rolls to take away the container comes with them for the same price.

Can’t believe I kept returning to this place, thought it might just be a bad day or something but after multiple visits here with bellow average food, that’s not cheap and service, we’re done for good.

Do your self a favour and head up to the sushi train if you want a way higher quality food and service, in fact anywhere in rosny is...

Someone needs to sit the cook down and explain to them that cooking a mescalin salad is not an acceptable substitute for steamed spinach.

That's right, I ordered (and paid for) the eggs benedict. The menu clearly stated steamed spinach, eggs, bacon, hollandaise sauce etc (standard eggs Benedict). I was served a half decent eggs and bacon with cheap packet made hollandaise sauce and a pile of steamed salad on the side.

No one in their right mind would cook a salad and serve it to a paying customer as a substitute for steamed spinach with out at least consulting the customer first.

If management are unaware of this then they need to know, if they are aware of this then they need to know that this business will not stand the test of time if they believe that this is an acceptable way to treat paying customers as the business will simply lose all repeat business.

Did you guys seriously think I was going...
