G.Labo Noodle — Restaurant in Iwakuni

Someone please tell if I’m confused. Three of us went to G.Labo tonight, I ordered the shrimp and garlic bread as I always. My two companions ordered the “G”-Set 5-course meal. 5-Course means (5-items/ salad, main dish, side dish, drinks, dessert). Both friends ordered “G”-Set which came with the steak, both ordered different side dish. Only one dish of the main item was delivered to our table, after waiting a while for the second main dish that never came, I called the staff to ask where is the other main dish? (Keep in mind that I am speaking in Japanese and so is one of my friend )

We were told that “both of their main dish was combined on one plate”!!!! It was one plate with 4-5 small strips of steaks hidden under a lettuce leaf. We explained to two of the staff that they “my two friends” ordered separately and why in “Gods Blue Heaven Would You Put Two Customers Dish On The Same Plate”??? After one of my Japanese speaking friend tried to “Powder It Up” I had to demand the second plate of steak which came quickly…..

At the end of this failed trickery, they were both charged the same price and both given their separate plate of food.

Point of this is….. I love Japan and Japanese people but there are those out there that will take your kindness for a weakness. I would advise you to take some Japanese lessons for better understanding and...

Lovely little spot for Italian-Japanese fusion. The dinner special set was great. As others have said, the portions are smaller, but they still leave you satisfied. Pasta was cooked well and al dente. The staff was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend getting a reservation if planning to go there on a Friday or...

Another great restaurant in Iwakuni! I have been eating here for many years, and I have never been disappointed. The pastas are good. The curry is good. Their garlic bread is the best in town. I also really love their desserts. Great spot for a date night, dinner with friends, or a small...
