4GUYS Restaurant — Restaurant in Wuse II

This is an Upscale restaurant in Wuse2 that offers Japanese, Chinese and Italian Cuisines. The Restaurant was officially launched on the 14th of February, 2020. The warm welcome I got from the pretty lady who asked if I had a reservation politely can't be forgotten. I told her I did not. She went further to ask if I wanted a table for two and I obliged then she took me to one of the perfect tables. While I sat, I could not help but notice the Superb interiors. 💯👌🏽 You’d be seduced by the Ambience and aesthetic design. A male waiter approached my table with the menu and I must say he is well trained like the rest of them. He helped me with making a decision on what to Order. My friend on the other hand isn’t a first timer like myself and could make decision without any assistance.

STARTERS – Shrimp Spring Roll with Sauce.MOCKTAIL – Strawberry Mojito. Best choice i made honestly. I can’t even place my hand on its feel down my taste buds.😊 I absolutely loved my drink.😍

Second Drink – Chapman

MAINMEAL – Penne Arabiatta. An Italian meal made with Spicy tomatoes sauce and parsley.

Second meal ; Hong-Kong Style Noodles. A Chinese meal made with seafood, vegetables and sweet savory sauce.

All this was delivered in less than 10mins. I was shocked actually because I felt the waiter was bluffing when he said he would be back in 10mins. The fastest service I have ever experienced.🙌🏾😊

Like i mentioned earlier, my Mocktail was perfect but I can’t say the same for my meal. Penne wasn’t the best and this made me sad.😔The sauce was sour and the pasta was not well cooked as it was partly strong. I requested that it’s made spicy, that was not granted.

On the other hand, my friend enjoyed Hong-Kong noodles and was done with the meal while I struggled to finish mine. I asked to speak with Manager and the Gentleman walked up to my table. I complimented the Restaurant and the prompt service I got but of course I had to mention my displeasure about the turnout of my meal and how it had no protein. He was pleasant and apologised then offered me dessert on the house. Yippee!!!💃🏾😍

DESSERT – Pain Perdu. It is a French toast. Toast Bread soaked in caramel sauce and side vanilla ice cream. Now this was Yummy 😋.  The feel of the steaming cake and ice cream going my buds is just 👌🏽💯♥️

REVIEW – Beautiful Space, Seductive Ambience , Cozy, Beautiful Wine bar, Efficient service by waiters who are very Organised. Good for Kids and Family dinner, perfect for brunch dates, Covid-19 Protocols duly observed, a good place for a date. Outdoor setting is beautifully put up with colorful umbrellas, chairs and flowers carefully arranged in nice vases. If you are a smoker, that’s the best spot for you to sit and enjoy your stay.

Edit : Like all business in Abuja, the moment the western bosses are not around, the service quality decreases immensely. It went from 5 stars to 3.

Here are the reasons:

1 - At arrival, I asked a table for one, the lady at the door couldn't conceal her disappointment. I am (well, was...) a frequent customer and this day I felt unwelcomed. 2 - Employees now wear the mask, but keep nose and mouth uncovered (see photos). I spoke to the manager, he was more concerned in excusing the staff than solving the problem. 3 -When I ordered, there were no Chinese dishes except shrimp ravioli. I had gone there mostly for the Chinese food. 4 -The only meal I had outside was in this restaurant, and now I have a stomach flu.

I'm leaving the original review below, and I deeply regret that the restaurant owners couldn't keep the service quality.

Excellent.

I went twice, in both counts there was excellent food, excellent drinks, excellent service, excellent facilities, excellent ambiance. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Abuja.

If the restaurant is to achieve 6 stars, there were 2 things that could be improved:

1- coffee: espressos must have very little water if the client so demands, and they must always be served with small (really small) coffee spoons and individual saucers, so the client can put the dirty spoon down without getting the table dirty - or without getting other customer's sugar sachets dirty either.

2 - Well known dishes in Asia seem to have different names in this restaurant. The waiting staff are the nicest staff ever, but they lack some knowledge of Asian cuisine and cannot compare what the restaurant has with what is served in Asian restaurants, with their original names. Staff could be instructed that the restaurants "pebble shrimp" is what is known by "Dynamite Shrimp", that what is written in the menu as "Tempura" is not actually Tempura, but sushi with tempura inside, and so on.

But again, excellent restaurant and a must try for everyone in Abuja that has a taste for Asian cuisine. Just make sure you are prepared, moneywise, specially if you...

My family and I visited 4Guys last night on a whim. 4Guys didn't disappoint at all. Firstly, they are very clean. You walk in and sanitize at the door before being seated. I witnessed them also sanitizing tables before and after guests.

The ambiance is simple yet classic, and has a great vibe. It is a very active place so if you're looking for a quiet dining experience this place is not it. The service was fast and the staff was helpful, nice and everything you would expect in a restaurant of this caliber. In fact, I had the best dining experience I have ever had in Abuja. The service is very okay.

Now the food. We tried a few dishes and they all exceeded expectations here again. We ordered the Butterfly Prawns they were so good we ended up ordering a second serving. We also had the Shrimp Dumplings and they were tasty but a bit dry, however, would still order them on the next visit. We also tried the Shrimp Dancing Rolls and Teriyaki Chicken Rolls. The sushi rolls were A+. We had Fries and Lasagna. I must say it's the best Lasagna I have ever eaten from any restaurant in any country. Then we tried the Yang Chow Fried Rice with Spicy Szechuan Beef and it was fantastic.

Our favorite dishes were the Butterfly Prawns, Dancing Shrimp Rolls, and Lasagna. We will definitely visit them again and again and again. Great experience.

Almost forgot about the drinks raving over the food. We had mocktails they were good but next time we will just opt for soft drinks.

As for cost everything was reasonably priced, the portions were decent. If for 3 people just prepare to spend somewhere...
