Restaurant Review: Yakimix Prime

Restaurant Review: Yakimix Prime

     Last December 10, 2015 was our 3rd wedding anniversary and hubby asked me out to dinner. Since we have a bouncing baby boy, we wanted to eat at a family restaurant. We chose Yakimix Prime because it was a buffet with good reviws that was conveniently placed in the middle of Bonifacio High Street and for the variety of food offered.

     We went there at 5:30 in the afternoon and there were only a few people there. We asked for a high chair for our son but was told that there were only two high chairs in the place and both were taken by other families. We were told they'd get one for us once the families have stopped using them. Now, if you've experienced dining out with a 8 month old you would kniw why this was a problem for us. By the time we were assured there are no high chairs coming, it was 6 PM and the place was filling up. Before starting to eat, I checked the loo for a diaper-changing station but there was none, another strike against this family restaurant.

     Even with the high chair situation ongoing, we went ahead with dinner. We got sushi and maki and tempura. The sushi was sweet and the maki was packed just right even though there were discrepancies with the portions. We got meats and corn and seafood to grill ourselves, which is always the fun part when eating at Yakimix. We tried the souos and dimsums, as well as the gyoza. The soups were really hearty but the dimsums were not that authentic-tasting and the gyoza was sub-par as well. I spent a lot of time at the dessert area and got the cheesecake, which was really good, and the leche flan, which was really not. There are bottomless drinks too, sodas and juice and tea and beer. 

                 

     All in all we were really full at the end of dinner. But I couldn't let go òf the fact that they only had 2 high chairs at a restaurant that caters to familer with little kids. To be honest, I lost interest intaking pictures of the place and th food when I realized that the crew let another family take the high chairs but no kid ever sat in them, that hurt me as a parent because my tyke had to sit on my lap to eat and   managed to pull a plate full of food to the floor because of the shortage. The price was very affordable for a buffet and the place looks very posh but as a parent I would not recommend eating there with your kids. As a foodie, I would recommend going there with friends to pig out and drink to your heart's content.
