I ate dinner here at MK twice during my stay at AVANI Riverside. The first time I was here, I noticed that some servers wore maid/butler outfits. Kind of odd, but cool. I had an order of Egg Noodles with Shrimp Wontons and Spare Ribs ramen soup, which was savory. The MK Double Oreo Frappe was incredibly sweet and chocolatey. Table service for the first time I was here was pretty confusing. I mentioned in my AVANI Riverside review that there's a language barrier between employees and guests. Just like Starbucks at Riverside Plaza, MK Restaurant was not an exception. The second time I came here, I ordered the small hot pot option to share with another person (aka my mom). The soup base, meat and vegetable plates were fresh and when cooked, tasted scrumptious. I appreciated the two sauces given with the hot pot order. I especially liked the miso sauce. It went well with the cooked meats and veggies. Table service during the second time was much better than the first. The overall total was much more inexpensive than it is in California. Hot pot plus several meats, veggies and sides was less than $20 for two people. In California, hot pot ranges from $30-$40 per person. I really wish there was an MK Restaurant in California, but pricing may be entirely different. Do I recommend this place for dinner? Yes Sir/M'am. Come here and stay for the hot pot and frappes!

アナンタラに宿泊。お昼にここで食事をしました。 20年ぐらい前に、コカとMKがタイスキで競っていた記憶がありますが、最近のコカは高級路線に方向転換？これでもか！という頼み方はできなくなりました。 ですが、MKは、昔ながらの注文ができました。驚いたのは、配膳にロボットが使われていたことぐらいでしょうか？ タレがなくなるとすぐに足してくれるし、お茶もついでくれます 絶対おすすめです。

Had a great time at MK Riverside! I visited just before the New Year, and there was a special promotion where the pork set came with a cute duck plushie. It made the meal feel extra fun and festive. The food was fresh and high quality as always, especially the pork and vegetables. The soup was flavorful, and everything was served quickly. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable.
