I'm not sure how this place is pitched in Japan, but their outlet down here at Orchard Central is rather confusing (181 Orchard Road #07-10/11, 6509-1176). I mean, clearly the cute frozen teddy bear broth above is the main draw, but then they appended a budget yakiniku part to it.
We twiddled our thumbs waiting for the bear to melt before we could eat. And that's when we realized that maybe that's where the yakiniku part came in: for you to grill your meat while waiting for the broth. But then people who ordered from the separate "set meal" portion had just a yakiniku tray without the broth.
Well, the food itself was edible enough, and they even had a Haidilao-like condiment bar for you to raid, albeit with a pretty limited selection. Either way, the confusing setup and off-beat location were enough of a turn-off that we're not likely going back. It's one of those get-your-photo-once and that's enough kind of a place.
