CoCo Ichibanya — Restaurant in Niigata

Hadn’t been in awhile, and was pleased with the update to their ordering and menu system. Coco Ichibanya now uses an iPad for ordering with language menu options for: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and English. It’s a super intuitive menu, and each part of your curry order is broken down, the amount of rice, the level of spice, the type of curry (veggie is available), and if you decided to bundle it with drinks or a side order. The atmosphere is always lively, especially at peak hours, so if you want a table, you may have to wait for 10 minutes or so, but even then, the service is quite quick, which I found remarkable because of how many pick up orders were also coming in.

店內有廁所，有可以旋轉的插座，也有小扇子提供客人搧風，我覺得小細節有到位，加分。店內除了可以按服務鈴叫服務生點餐，桌上也有QR-Code用手機點餐。這次點了期間限定的魯肉辣咖哩，店內有提供每桌一瓶水幫大忙了，身為台灣人，我來提供一下意見，首先，我必須說酸菜是冰的，扣分，雖然是主打台灣料理但是咖哩和白飯沒有像其他品項的咖哩一樣分離老實說很可惜，再來，正常的魯肉飯不會有香菇，很奇怪的一點是，咖哩是辣的，但肉卻是甜的，可見不是一起被做出來的，另外肉的部分，都是瘦肉，台灣的魯肉飯上面都是切成小塊狀的肥肉，瘦肉吃起來就像是調理包加熱過後再倒到辣咖哩然後再從冰箱拿出酸菜擺盤，我感覺這道餐點是這樣做出來的。不然也解釋不了為什麼肉是甜的咖哩是辣的，兩個口味不同步。最後，我要誇獎蘿蔔不是已經放在桌上的而是服務員跟水一起送上來時一起給的，然後加上送晚餐的服務員還會鞠躬，這個比旁邊的那家炸...
