Ride Diner — Restaurant in Hiroshima

I did not feel welcome.

We came in and after looking at the menu ordered our food. At the same time we asked for two waters and were told that we must order a drink from the menu, so we ordered two cokes.

I tried to cancel the order but he said we can’t because they had already started cooking it even though he hadn’t left our table yet from taking our order.

He doesn’t seem like a typical Japanese person, more like a westerner! Doesn’t seem to have the morals you see from regular Japanese people. Suppose that’s what you get for going to a wannabe western restaurant run by a wannabe...
