Offal pot cooking restaurant
😠 I will try my best to explain the situation. First of all I went to this place due to high ratings on google maps. So i went there and found out that its located at the end of alley. There are 2 neon sign show the direction to this place. When i got there i was confused, where is the place ? Its on...

👍👍 The average google maps reviews for this location are so high due to a maid cutely asking you to provide them with a review / while hovering until you do so. I still loved my time here despite this distasteful practice. That being said, the experience is exactly what one would want from a maid cafe...

😠 This place is not a recommended place for foreigner. I booked the schedule to eat in this restaurant, when I arrived, the staff said, "please wait". When the time of my booking time came, no one call my name, then I should go inside the shop to asked about my booking schedule. Then they let me in to...

👍👍 The BEST motsunabe I ever had. The soup sauce was great and the veggies did go well with the meat. It was easy to order although I don’t speak Japanese. Also the nama beer (draft beer) goes well with the dish!! Totally recommended!!

👍 Beef intestine pot is a must order, for any combo the whole table number of people need to order the same thing, kids exclusive. We had a pot and 2 types of yakiniku (barbeque). Beef is tasty and fresh, we asked for a pair of scissors to cut the cube smaller for our kid who has wobbly teeth. The sta...

😠 They force you to write a review for them on the spot. Food average, restaurant not clean. I felt it was scam. That explains the high number of reviews and stars. They ask you to do it in front of them. What a shame. Having said that, the young waiter was helpful and nice.

😐 Interesting experience, desserts are good. Food is okay. The maids really hound you for a review and they watch you input it, so the ratings are probably overinflated. Do note that there’s like a 880 yen service charge and each person needs to order an item. The items are overinflated in price, but...

😠 Underwhelming and disappointing. Minimal interaction with maid. There was only 1 maid on the second floor when we were there. Ambiance was poor. Tourist trap given the high rating on Google review. Would give this place a miss.

Sushi restaurant
👍 A very nice sushi bar at Tsukiji Outer Fish Market. We went in the morning and there were tables available. The selection was great and the sushi even better. Ordering in English was easy via a tablet. The bill is attached to the back of your seat, you just take it to the till to pay.

😐 I have read a lot of good reviews for that however this is rather small place which seems a bit odd to me. When we entered it was full of strange looking people who seems to enjoy getting drunk and looking in to (to)young Japanese girls. I know it is part of Japanese modern culture but it does seems...

👍👍 This is my favorite Ramen places to go while in Fukuoka, Shinshin is one of the best and tastiest ramen chain stores there. It is very popular and you'll often find long lines there during lunch and dinner times. If you are hungry and are just getting to the area, this is a sure thing for you to enj...

😐 I brought my mom here when she visited Japan. It was kind of embarrassing and quite expensive, 10,000 yen for 1 hour for 4 of us. We got a parfait, a key holder, a drink, and a picture with one of the maids.

😠 Similar to what another commenter said, they definitely try forcing you leave a 5 star review on Google for them at the end of the meal. I’m pretty sure most of the 5 star reviews here are because of that, we certainly were fooled. Our personal experience: went with a group of friends shortly after...

😠 We walked in on a weekday before 6pm. There were already several people waiting. The service was really slow and it took long to turn over and get tables ready for the next customers. We waited for more than 25min and we’re only told to go downstairs to a completely empty space where we had to sit o...
