Oshokujidokoromiharashi — Restaurant in Hakone

Avoid. The service is per Japanese standard (i.e. courteous and polite). The food however was very poor.

We ordered a katsudon, oyakodon and one of each ramen (gomoku and chashu).

The katsudon (pork) was precooked to an oblivion and then further toughened when recooked in the sauce with egg before being topped with rice. The crumb was soggy and separated from the meat and the meat itself was so tough and gross. Was very unpleasant.

The oyakodon was a similar story - had lots of chicken skin and fat in it as well - cheap cuts of what is already a cheap meat.

The ramen soup base was just too salty and the meat a similar situation as the katsudon.

I wish I saw the google review score for this place before entering but we were rushing to eat lunch before our train arrived and the wax displays looked decent - DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS WE...

I'm not sure what everyone is on about in the previous reviews. Okay, yes, they are a little prompt to order, but you can just ask them for more time to decide!

Lamen was delicious and was on the table within 5-10 minutes.

The ladies working there are very kind, refilling glasses with cold water and providing me with a new spoon as one of the ladies saw that I dropped /submerged mine in my ramen soup.

If you want a quick and delicious meal -...

Honestly have no clue what the other reviews are on about, the lady running it is amazing and so kind, the katsudon was incredible, simple but good, nothing to fault, the tempura set was well made with a great sea of texture and taste and the tempura soba was warm and salty. Amazing...
