Are You Mad About Mad House BBQ & Grill Restaurant?

We were definitely mad and pissed at these guys the first time we attempted to have dinner here. Mad House BBQ & Grill Restaurant was the talk of town as soon as it opened featuring Chinese hotpot style meals Korean BBQ, Chinese Skewers and traditional Beijing hotpot as some of it's hot items off the menu.

I had called ahead to book a table and we rocked up for our reservation precisely 10 minutes earlier to our booking. Unfortunately, it was a busy evening and we were told to wait outside. Yes outside in the chilly evening we were left waiting for a least 25 minutes.

Kamal and I decided to leave instead of waiting out in the cold and he immediately wrote a review of the place on their Facebook Page. He did receive a response about how they could turn his 1 star rating to 5 star.

Fast forward to April this year, we decided to give it another try. To our pleasant surprise, the restaurant was wonderfully empty and we were the only customers.

So naturally in situations as such customer service is always be on point. The hotpot is what we went for and the spread was delightful with me loving the pink lemonade. Of course, Kamal was eye rolling at my oohing and aahing of the pink lemonade.

I loved the concept of this place as it offers something different and unique. Kamal knows Asian food more than I do, given that he travels a lot to China, Korea and Japan. So he kept guiding me and explaining how this all works. The food was great no doubt and we loved how we were the only people there on a ---wait for it….TUESDAY NIGHT!

Anyway, to make our evening even better, the guy who appeared to be the owner was celebrating his birthday and his lovely wife and staff shared a piece of the birthday cake with us.

I would definitely recommend this place as a must eat at place when in Suva. It makes for a great date night - Yes date night, because you get to see and judge the patience and “cooking skills” of the person your with haha *evil laugh* (if you are not married) or its generally a fun place to be at with friends or colleagues.

However, we would increase our 1 star rating of this place to 3.5 stars because we want to revisit Mad House BBQ & Grill Restaurant on a much busier night as we did during the first time we didn’t get a table, expect this time with hopes of getting madly full of good food!
