"I saw a line for lunch without knowing what kind of restaurant it is. I was very pleased with the cleanliness and quality of food. I had the pork cutlet (which apparently is an original recipe).

The pork was moist, batter was perfect, and affordable.
(In the picture i put the wasabi mustard on it, which is normally on the side)"

"This place might've been good once upon a time, but now it seems to mostly be an overpriced tourist trap. There are so many better restaurants you can eat, as the food is really nothing special. At the prices they charge, you can either get a much tastier meal, or get a lot more food elsewhere. Yes, it's a very old school place, but even the service was only so so, especially when you consider that the service in Japan is almost always on point. If you want to eat in a "traditional" place, then go ahead, but it's not what I expected from a place like this in Japan."

"Pretentious… that is the word that first comes to mind.
The food was good. It was seasoned well, flavorful and nothing overcooked. We got exactly what we ordered.
The second floor dining, with no handicapped access, was charming, clean and the adorned painting/displays built character in the room.
Service was exact and courteous. The guy that served us most appeared new and nervous. He didn’t do anything wrong, but he didn’t belong with the other two that occupied the floor.
The bartender/floor manager just gave off a bad vibe. Didn’t talk to anyone but the two waiters and glared down at everyone. Guests and all. He stood by the dumb waiter (food elevator) and he kept track of all the food that was sent up. He sent down two dishes that were sent up the dumb waiter that nobody ordered and yet failed to keep track of a table with two ladies who were sat immediately after us and who did not receive their food until we were done and getting ready to leave.
The waiter in charge. Gave off the most pretentiousness… is that a word.
The price was expensive for what we got. It is written at the door that you have to buy more than one dish, and there are no accompaniment item with most of the dishes. If the waitstaff ask if you would like bread or rice with your order, the accompaniment is a separate price. Mind, the food was delicious but very simple and plain. Nothing stood out as “Fantastic!”
I know that there is history behind the restaurant and that it should be proud of its culinary contributions, but I didn’t enjoy eating there. Except for the nervous waiter, the vibe that I got was that the whole place was overly pretentious.
I did not enjoy the meal. I would notch it as a learning experience and never go there again."
