Seoul Garden — Restaurant in Dar es-Salaam

The place is tedious, disliked the decor as it wasn't pleasing at all. The ambience is noisy, not a place you would go alone but a huge company is preferable. There was a roach moving on the table and that offed my appetite. The toilet was dirty and there is a stereotype about this and it happened to be true. The price tag and the quantity are ridiculous, hefty on the price and low on quantity. My family wasn't full. The waiter was a bore, grumpy, uninviting, seemed livid, aura was off which made us not enjoy his company. Enjoyed Yossi, the chef and he gave us a great presentation. However, I didn't enjoy the taste of the food. Might be because of my excellent pallet. Rice tasted like plastic. The charades and fanatics was top notch for Tanzanian market. But more could be done. For people who don't take alcohol it's such a downer. The variety of beverage selection is minimal and pricey. Juices are from the boxes, no milkshake or even smoothies. So much could be done on the menu as well. Seemed like a last minute effort Definitely not a place I would return because I didn't taste...

Had lunch there this afternoon, we ordered tempura mori from the menu and the waiter agreed that we could replace the fish with extra calamari instead.

The dish came with one piece of calamari, so we asked for the extra. The kitchen then sent an extra piece, only for us to find out that it was actually a piece of white sweet potato.

The kitchens explanation for this was that they cover all the ingredients (for a dish that serves 4 different ingredients in one) with the flour beforehand, therefore they can’t distinguish what they’re frying. The waiter also kept refusing to discuss further this with the manager, and gave us various excuses.

I wouldn’t be hesitant to call this daylight robbery. Extremely disappointed with...

OWNERSHIP CHANGE: I visited in August and this location is now rebranded as Ari. I think the previous Seoul Garden was Japanese with Korean but Ari is Korean with Japanese.

The good: -Ban chan was a great addition -Seoul Garden had extortionate 7,000 tsh sparkling water, Ari has normal priced -Lunch menu specials are great with the teishoku option much appreciated -Extensive menu has pretty much every single Japanese and Korean option, sushi, and rolls

It's a similar restaurant as the previous Seoul Garden though not the...
