We went to Toko on 11 May 2009 for my friend’s birthday. There were 8 of us in total. When we reached the restaurant (at around 8.00PM), a waiter told us to wait for the table in dining area for 56 minutes otherwise we have to sit in bar area on the couches. We decided to sit on the couch and ordered entrees while we were waiting for a table in dining area. It was getting late so we order more and more food. After around 1 hour, the waiter asked us whether we wanted to move to dining area but we decided not to because mains were served for a while. We were totally ok with the seats as we enjoyed the food and chatting with our close friends. We ordered a lot of dishes and were billed $345 less drinks. The food portion was small but the food was very nice! At the end of the night, one of us, who brought a birthday cake, took a cake to one of the waitresses and asked her to bring out to our table with candles. The waitress took the cake out with small plates and forks but without cake knife. After we sang birthday song and blown the candles, then we asked for a cake knife. Then, one guy (believed to be restaurant Manager) came to us and told us that if you want to cut the cake, you have to pay $3.50 per head. The whole table felt awkward about his conversation, then he started to explain more. He told us that he does a business and nothing is free. He also offered us a time to think whether we wants to cut the cake or not, if not he will pack the cake back to the original package for us. NO APPOLOGY AT ALL. Actually, we would not ask them to bring the cake out in the first place if they told us before about the ridiculous charge when we brought the cake to the waitress. Or if they realised later that they forgot to tell us about the charge in the first place, they should at least apologise!!! We really enjoyed the food though but we were very upset with his conversation. We will never go back again! AWFUL SERVICE!
