Kopi talk Ya Zhou Cafe - more like NO Zhou Cafe?

Thanks Gabriel for the write up.
Located at the basement of Suntec City near the fountain, the inappropriately named Ya Zhou (Asia) Cafe, which serves only Korean food, has a nondescript, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it entrance and tacky, food-court-style furnishings. The eating experience, while slightly better than the decor, wasn’t much to write home about neither. To be fair, the food itself was decent on the trip I made there.

I had the hotplate saba set, a $9.50 combination of a hotplate saba dish, six pieces of guo tie (fried dumplings) and a cup of lime juice. The fish was nicely fried, with just the right texture and without any fishy aftertaste. The guo tie, too, was similarly well-fried, crunchy without being overly oily. The lime juice, while refreshing, was a tad on the sweet side.

A friend tried the kimchi saba fish soup set, a $10 meal that came with steamed dumplings (the sides can be chosen from an entire list) and another glass of lime juice. Unlike the hotplate saba, the saba fish soup was tasty but very fishy and proved too much to take after a while.

Another friend had the chicken bibimbap (Korean mixed rice) and the same guo tie and lime juice side combination. The bibimbap was packed full of flavour and spices. There was a good mix of ingredients and the overall product was filling and satisfactory.
Marring the food, though, was the horrendous service. Not only were the service staff unfriendly and rude, the particular staff serving us was moody and in an obvious fit about something or other and our change for the bill was practically thrown at us.
While Ya Zhou Cafe’s prices are decent and you get what you pay for (food slightly better than at the Korean stalls in food courts at prices slightly above those in food courts) but the terrible service knocks the overall rating down several notches.
