Review: Moyo Fountains Valley
Normal criteria to judge restaurants by are
quality of food, the class of service and atmosphere. For Moyo I have to
introduce another category – your ass.
After sitting at Moyo for just half an hour
you will be acutely aware of your ass and how much it hurts. Although the chairs
have a rustic charm to them, they are uncomfortable as hell and your ass will be begging for mercy.
During this first half hour you will also
get thirsty since waiters at Moyo is seriously a scare resource.
If you do manage to get a waiter and order something,
the waiter will return 10 minutes later only to inform you that they don’t have
that item in stock. That goes for the wine and food.
Eventually we got so fed up with the waiter
returning to tell us they don’t have stock that we asked him to find out what
they do have and then we will order that.
We finally struck gold and ordered something
they do have. Luckily the food wasn’t as shit as the service. However, that’s all I can say for it though. Average at best.
There are so many negative things to
mention about Moyo in Fountains Valley which is really unfortunate. The Moyo in
Melrose Arch are for many people the definitive measuring stick you use to
measure other restaurants with.
I assume that Moyo had an ‘off’ evening and
that most of the time they must be on the ball. How else would they have survived
this long?
So maybe it is worth your
time and money to go there. I would definitely not go back there. The amount they charge for the food and the service you get...not worth it.I can summarise the experience with this:
MOYO = FAIL :(
