That was some experience! The food was good. Service stands up to the name of restaurant. At the entrance you are told to go wash your hands in a very particular manner.Then you get a booklet with rules. Each step has to be sertain way or else… you fill like a child with a very angry teacher,and you are scared to ask a question. I asked what kind of soup is a soup of the day and I was told that he doest have time to answer.

quite an experience indeed, and we had to come see it for ourselves. The entree was for sure a great value, the steak was one of the best I’ve had and one of the lowest prices I’ve paid. The grouchy chef definitely lives up to his reputation though, we researched the rules and still got lectured for small things like putting the water glass at the wrong place. Chef says he’s selling the place though, might not be around for long.

There’s something to be said about the pursuit of a craft, to be completely immersed in it and everything else is just noise.

We had a wonderful experience for our 6th wedding anniversary! Chef Masumoto was a lot less intimidating than I thought he would be. He was quite pleased that I scraped up each and every drop of my entree! Genuinely, if you’re going to a place called the Grouchy Chef and you get offended that he is in fact, grouchy- what are you doing? Lol. Just don’t be “that” person and dig your heels in about his rules. It’s his restaurant, he sets the boundaries. You can follow them, or simply choose to not eat there.

They were not kidding about the eccentric attitude of the chef/owner/waiter of this restaurant 🙂 but I felt it only added to the uniqueness of the experience. The food was indeed as good as other visitors had claimed, and portion is certainly generous for French cuisine. I enjoyed the pickled vegetable served in the salad as starter because it’s so different. The main course of Coq au Vin is as delicious as any I’ve had in a Parisian bistro, love the sauce. A definite winning dinning experience worthy of return visits in future. The only downside is how out of the way location is.

Amazing food! Delicious and exquisitely prepared 4 course French Cuisine for $14-28 per person. Less than a third of the price one would normally pay. Authentic and generous. The price is simply unbelievable and no tipping allowed. The Chef works alone and is meticulous. He is demanding on dinning etiquette and serves with good quality china and crystal glasses. The Chef is attentive to serve you the next course when you are finished with one. To ensure customer satisfaction of prompt food service, he is reluctant to accept reservation for more than 4 people. Highly principled person to a point of being rigid, Chef Masumoto is very proud of his cooking. He thanks you not for your business but for your participation. When complimented for his cooking, he respond with a stoic “ that’s what I do , Sir”. For a Chef with such dedication and beliefs on what he does, not for the money but the passion, this is admirable and deserves to be respected despite rough edges with his communication style. I must admit that I felt really guilty for paying so little for such a wonderful, good quality, delicious and professionally prepared meal. Since I am not allowed to tip, I purchased T shirts and made a donation which all goes to cancer research and not the Chef. Definitely a worthwhile experience and a come back again restaurant! Thank you Chef Masumoto for “doing what you do” and allowing us to “participate”!

My husband and I love this place. We go for the food and the experience. It’s called grouchy chef for a reason and if you are sensitive and or can’t appreciate the concept of this then this is not the place for you. The chef makes delicious food a 4 course meal at an amazing price! If you follow all of his rules he is very pleasant, if not he will tell you what’s what
