The Dining - Hai phong - Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Hải Phòng

Situated within Haiphong's Roygent Park adjacent to the Nikko Hotel, The Dining offers an impressive array of Japanese cuisine within a relaxed ambiance. Despite its cafeteria-like appearance, the establishment boasts a diverse menu catering to even the most discerning palates, making it a noteworthy addition to the local culinary landscape.

Opting for the tonkatsu lunch set while my companion chose the roast beef bowl, we complemented our meals with the homemade ginger ale—an excellent choice characterized by its balanced sweetness and acidity. Both dishes were meticulously prepared, demonstrating a keen attention to detail. While thoroughly enjoying my tonkatsu, I couldn't help but think that a sprinkle of ground sesame seeds could further enhance its flavor profile.

The Dining excels in delivering prompt service, making it an ideal spot for a swift business lunch—I managed to conclude my meal within just 30 minutes. Overall, it's evident that this restaurant is a standout choice in Haiphong, and I eagerly anticipate returning to sample more offerings from the menu. However, I noted the absence of a dedicated wine list or beverage selection beyond standard juices and sodas, which I plan to explore further during my next visit.

However, my experience was slightly marred by the absence of the Nagoya-style pork cutlet, which I had eagerly anticipated trying based on the restaurant's Google Maps listing. In response to this, I have uploaded the current menu to ensure accurate representation for future diners. This discrepancy between the online representation and the actual menu detracted from the overall experience, prompting me to deduct one star from my rating. Therefore, The Dining receives a rating...

❌ Extremely disappointed. Ordered via QR code, confirmed with staff, but waited 40 minutes with no food served, even salad. Even after asking, I was told the restaurant was busy. Meanwhile, tables that arrived much later were served right away. Finally, staff admitted they forgot my order. I was starving and upset, has stomachace so I paid and left.

👉 Terrible experience. Will...

２年前コロナ前もよく利用していました。綺麗で、料理もおいしくて味もコスパもハイフォンの和食店では高い評価だと思います。先月再渡ハイフォンに戻った現在は、このレストランから徒歩圏内のアパートに住んでおり、昼食は何度か利用させていただき、安定した味に満足していました。昨夜夕食を現地の友人と行きましたが、メインのハンバーグセット一人分だけが通って無くて、２０分くらいして催促して更に２０分しても反応が無く、怒って帰って来ました。１回目の催促を受けた際の店員はいつの間にかいなくなって、２回目の催促時にレジの廻りにいた４人の従業員もそ～って蜘蛛の子をちらすようにいなくなり、最後はレジの店員だけとなり、逆にブすっとした態度で謝る事も無く無礼な態度で対応したのは忘れられません。もう行かないけど、本当に期待していただけに、有名で綺麗なだけの...
