Do not go to this place, I wish I’d read earlier reviews. We are travelling in japan and it was the worst case of Xenophobia I have ever seen, we were allowed in to eat ( surprisingly, as we saw the old man who runs the place turn away other groups of travellers pretending to be closed and then let in groups of Japanese people!). We ordered four meals, only three arrived and he tried to make us pay for all 4. A lovely Japanese lady had to help us. Terrible experience, dirty dishes left in the restaurant and food wasn’t great. Overall terrible experience. I would avoid going here!!

I think we had a blatant experience of xenophobia. We came in at 11:30 AM and we saw customers already inside. An old man was serving them food, but as we entered, he shooed us saying "no food, go away". Clearly there was food, since the (Japanese) customers inside already got them. Terrible xenophobic experience. Not recommended.

We waited quite a long time for our food to find then out that they prepared just one portion instead of two. Honestly the food was not that good either. The service was okay and it is very close to the nearby attractions.

The food is delicious, both the udon noodles and the pork cutlet donburi are delicious. It was quite busy at noon, but after waiting for a while, I was still satisfied with the delicious meal. Travelers who are patient can have a more comfortable time.
