Fukunoken Mishima — Restaurant in Mishima

The absolute WORST Izakaya ever been to in Japan! The female server is rude and dismissive! Plus they will provide an “English menu” to foreigners which has inflated prices for some items that are less in cost on the Japanese menu! See my photos that show the Japanese menu with prices translated against my receipt (example: the crispy cabbage price on the English menu which is on the receipt is higher than the Japanese menu which I translated with Google Translate! By the way the crispy cabbage is literally a block of cabbage on a plate, not like a normal Izakaya that cuts the cabbage up and puts a nice vinegar dressing on top!) Noticed the price discrepancies while in the restaurant and the female server realized this and quickly took the English menu off of the table to avoid any accountability! She embarrassed we caught this business in the act that she ran and hid in the back of the restaurant and covered herself with her hooded jacket when we had to pay. Shame on her and this awfully ran business! On top of all this the food was awful and had NO taste! When ordering the meat skewers (which we wanted seasoned in salt), the female server took it upon herself and ordered their disgusting soy sauce instead! Do NOT go here, especially if you are NOT a local! Oh and they only take Cash, how...

This place is awesome! 1st off - you have to order with the machine outside (if you never been to Japan, this is a normal thing). 2nd - Staff member came out and helped us order (we didn't have to pull out the translate google lens). 3rd - Staff in general, super friendly!!! That is what I really look for in service. 4th - FOOD WAS AMAZING. I had the Garlic ramen and it was VERY flavorful...

But let me tell you about their yakitori! The chicken was done right!!!! It was juicy and full of flavor... I get Yakitori here in California and I haven't had anything close to that.

** to add, my kids have food allergies to dairy, nuts and tree nuts. They were able to eat food here because we asked the ingredients. They serve other various foods too. On the side of the of their building, they have foods that you can get for on the go.

If you are in the area or stopping by, I HIGHLY recommend...

We had dinner here and it was very near to the station. The place is a bit small so there is only limited sitting capacity. I think it might be how local pubs are. We are a group of 4 and we ordered 2 ramen for sharing (black garlic and spicy seaweed), both are really good. We ordered quite a lot of soups, grilled and fried foods. Some are not in the picture. The ofal, chicken with onion, chicken heart, fish cake, beef tendons and grilled shitake are very good too! Our dinner costs
