Zwakke start, goed einde. Het eerste half uur ging alles fout. Onze tafel was gereserveerd voor 20.30 uur, maar deze bleek nog bezet te zijn. Ons werd voorgesteld om eerst bij de bar een drankje te nemen. Prima, maar we werden niet geholpen. Na 10 minuten wachten om een drankje gevraagd. Even voor negenen kwam onze tafel vrij, maar de bediening was gewoon onderbemensd, dus weer wachten. Weer naar de bediening en gezegd dat dit allemaal verre van prettig liep. Toen ging de knop om en alles ging lopen zoals het hoort. De dame die ons bediende voelde alles prima aan en we gingen uiteindelijk toch tevreden naar huis. De ambiance is wel wat kil door de moderne stijl en door de slechte akoustiek, vooral beneden.

I've been to Oni twice before, and usually the food and services are good. But when I went there on Sunday, 2 Sept., during the restaurant week, I was really disappointed with the food and service. We had reservation for 7.30pm and I on time and my friend was only 2 minutes late. We noted that the restaurant was busy and packed, but we saw a table was already empty when we arrived, yet we were seated only 30 minutes later. Then the food was a disappointment. Firstly the quality was average and they were delivered really late. It's a 3-course surprise dinner, and we were really surprised all right. I ordered an extra dish of oyster shot, and that came earlier than the rest of our food. We got a free chicken dish as compensation. Anyway, I believe that Restaurant Week was meant to impressed newcomers to the restaurant. However, based on last night's food and service, any newcomers will not be impressed by the lateness of the food. Last night was my friend's first visit to ONI, and she was not impressed. She said she will not come again. As for me, I know ONI can do better and I will still go, but not on Restaurant Week.
