This branch is a typical outback steakhouse.

Quite good place for eating steaks.

Price rather higher than other local food cost yet the quality is appreciated.

Very delicious food !! Excellent service! Good Food.

The place is inside of AK plaza on the fifth floor. Overall the interior is clean and pleasant with a modern feel. There are covid restrictions in place and they seem to take it seriously. Sign in at the front, check your temp with the camera on the stand or a handheld IR thermometer for the little ones. Every other table/booth is blocked off. The doorbell that sounds when a customer comes to the door is a bit annoying. You can hear it clearly over the entire restaurant even with many families talking. I ate by myself, in between trains. I waited about 15 minutes and was sat at a far table by the restrooms. It felt weird being so far from people, and the odd fishbowl effect didn't help. Half of the restaurant is glass floor to ceiling so shoppers and passers by can clearly see everything you do, much like a zoo or aquarium. The waiter brought over a coaster, handiwipe, and single serve hand sanitizer. I had not had much chance to look through the menu while the waiter hovered around me waiting for me to order. It felt rushed and pressured. I did not see the regular thing I enjoy on the US menu. There is no Blooming Onion, no Sashimi, and no Prime Rib on the menu not to mention no veggies I saw other than salad. I asked the waiter if they had any of these. He spoke very good English and told me no they did not. I ordered a sirloin, it came with two sides. I ordered French fries and fried rice. It apparently also come with soup or salad. The salad dressing options were limited to 3 or 4 options: ranch, honey mustard, or vinaigrette. The ranch wasn't bad, little thicker than I thought it would be. The salad came without tomatoes as I asked, what surprised was the volume of cheese it had on it. With the salad came out the bread. Overall the taste is the same, there is something missing or changed in the recipe. It just has a slightly different taste to it. The butter seamed under whipped. It was a sweet butter, pretty good actually. I think a less sweat butter would work best with an already sweet bread. The food came out very quickly. The steak was cooked correctly to a medium. Not a super flavorful steak, but I'm not a steak guy. The fries were crispy and salted perfectly. The fried rice was good, not alot of flavor out of it though. The silverware looked beat. It was very worn and the "steak knife" was flimsy/bendy and dull. They did come in a sealed bag for covid. The stake came with a sauce, I believe a butter reduction with some sort of flavor in the bottom. Mostly just tasted like clarified butter. Not being a steak guy I like the tang of yellow mustard with my steak/prime rib. Surprisingly they only have whole grain and honey mustard. The waiter brought my check before I'd even finished half my steak. Overall I felt rushed. I had to ask for another coke after he passed by a couple times. Not sure if that cultural or not. Paid the cashier at the front and was out the door. Overall not bad just don't expect it to be like the US versions, and it was alot like eating in an airport.
