'AGE-FUK-U' - An Anal Restaurant in Taipan USJ

I got to bitch about this. I can't take it. I have never been to such an inflexible restaurant with such twisted policies. A restaurant who is OKAY with you WASTING their food but NOT OKAY with you picking at your friend's food because their policy say so.

Went to this restaurant called AGEFUKU in Taipan USJ. Decided to try this restaurant since we were 'hunting' for Japanese food and it was conveniently near to home. First impression of the restaurant, EMPTY, save for one occupy table at the 'fast food' section downstairs. So we proceed upstairs to the 'fine dining' section. Not surprising, also empty with no customers except for one uncleared table. So we were seated near the window and ordered our food. I decided to take the Cha Soba and my friend decided to order the 'TEMPURA PROMOTION' which is 'ALL YOU CAN EAT'. So there was a clause that says 'Any sharing will be charged accordingly'.Fair enough. Policy like this should be placed to avoid people ordering one pax but shared by two people.

So anyway, our order arrived and we proceeded in chomping down on our food. So I finished mine and I started picking at my friend's tempura. He didn't eat squid so I ate his half eaten one and I 'stolen' one piece of eggplant and shitake mushroom. As I was bitting into the eggplant, the waitress suddenly appear at our table to POINT out to us that we will be charged for sharing the tempura because the policy says so. I was shocked for a moment because I would never have thought that a restaurant would follow their policy to such a point. It's not that I didn't order anything to eat and just leeching off my friend's tempura. I ordered something. My friend tried telling the waitress that I ordered something to eat already and that I'm just taking one or two pieces. She still insist on the policy. So fine. My friend just told her that we'll stop ordering now and that's that. We're not going to 'steal' their food anymore.

No wonder the place is empty at dinner time.

I'm surprise and still shock actually. Remember I mentioned an uncleared table when we got there? We actually noticed that there was five to six pieces of tempura prawn left UNEATEN. So clearly this restaurant rather you waste their food then see you share your food if you can't finish it. No wonder there were tempura prawn leftover on the table. They weren't allow to share when they can' finish it. So when they say 'All You Can Eat', they literally meant that all ONLY YOU can eat and not anyone at the table with you although you can't finish the food.

So enough said. That would the first and last time I will be patronising that restaurant. I would suggest that if you crave Japanese food and don't want to go to places like Sakae Sushi or Sushi Zenmai, then go to SUSHITOMO in SS2 (near Wong Kok Char Chan Teng). Pricing wise much cheaper and taste wise (I personally think so) also better as compare to AGE-FUK-U restaurant.

Clearly, AGE will FUK U when you try to 'steal' their food.
