The other Mexican Fast Food Chain that I tried is Baja Fresh, but I can’t remember how it compared to Mad Mex.
I left OLA Cocina Del Mar feeling very satisfied with the food. The flavours are robust, and it is one restaurant I will come back again.
This is fantastic meal, made even more uplifting when the humble chef goes around every table greeting the patrons before and after the meal.
Taste: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambience: 3/5 Price: 3/5 (ave $35 per pax)
I much prefer dinners here; there's a languorous ambience perfect for savouring OLA's exquisite tapas, and catching up with old friends. Service is also a lot more intimate and attentive.
Overall i have enjoyed the new kaiseki set. Chef Hirotaka Murata has brought finesse into the menu while the pricing is still kept within affordable. Akari Japanese Dining Bar will also organize a private kaiseki dinner on every 1st and 4th saturday of the month. This is strictly on reservation basis where diners can indulge in exclusive fine kaiseki dining experience with seasonal premium Japanese ingredients. The private kaiseki dinner is priced at $200++ per person (without sake pairing) and $250++ per person (with sake pairing).
Absolutely an excellent restaurant!
I had a great meal there although I must comment that the prices tend to be a little more pricey for the portions that they serve.
