串焼き 焼とんyaたゆたゆ 難波千日前店 — Restaurant in Osaka

I got sick of having to read every review of every place before going in for dinner, so one day I just decided to go random. Mostly random. I decided to find a place without the help of Google, and with a couple of criteria. One, place is filled with people. Two, doesn't have foreign language signs outside the shop, so I know it's tailor to locals. So I came across this tiny joint. I saw a lot of people inside, and I could barely understand a couple of words (took Japanese 101 during first year). Walked in, asked if he could understand English, guy passed me a simple English menu. Sat down and ordered the 5 dish boiled pork sashimi, and 10 different skewers in 2 sets. The pork sashimi was a first for me. It included stomach, thymus, tongue, heart, and womb. Womb!!! Everything was weird, but nothing tasted disgusting. You just have to have an open mind. I was glad I tried them all. Then came the skewers, again mostly guts. First I took a bite of the intestines, very very salty I thought, but as I chewed away and the saltiness broke through my taste butts it tasted so good. I couldn't wait for the second piece. I went the ten skewers fairly quickly, and everyone of them was an experience. I was just so glad that I listened to my gut and had some great guts.

I am giving it 4 stars not because I think there is anything wrong. Just that 5 stars to me has to be very special not just the food, but a memory that is specially attach to it. So all and all this could very well be a place worthy of a 5 star in another occasion.

P.S. get some cold sake. Goes well...

300 yen per person service charge if you come in as foreigners. Food was only ok.

Not a great feeling when we came in together and 2 of us could speak Japanese except 1 person in the group. They straightforwardly told us that there would be 300 yen per person charge. We then asked them, is it because we are foreigners? They said no. This is not true for other customers that came after us. There was 0 mention of 300 yen per person service charge even on the Japanese menu. (our convo was always in Japanese).

So, ok we went inside and sat down. The staff directly asked us for drink orders. We looked around and we just wanted glasses of cold water as other people in the other tables seem to be able to get them. Nope, the waitress told us that we had to order one drink per person.

Was not a great feeling when the restaurant is obviously being blatantly racist towards customers but not admitting it.

This is the second time I came here. It was OK a year ago, now they just changed so much.

食べ物はいいですけど、300円/人 サービスチャージはあった。グループの中に日本語がわからない人がいるですから、そんなサービスチャージが付けてた。座った後、突然、私たちに飲み物注文くださいって言ってた。ほかのテーブルが見てたら、'じゃ、お冷で'、でも注文受けた人は 'メニューに飲み物を注文しなきゃです'。

そんなに外国人はヤダなら、最初から '外国人は受けていないです'....

이곳은 외국인을 차별하는 가게입니다 혐한 가게 ... 일본어 못하면 가지마세요 ...

아무리 생각해도 일부러 그런거 같다는 생각에 잠이 안오네요 사실 한번 당하고 나니까 그 뒤로 가게에 잘 못들어가겠어요 ...

저는 일본여행 2008년 부터 11번 정도 왔고 일본어는 2~3급 수준입니다 수능 일본어 만점 정도 ...

한번도 혐한이라거나 차별 느껴본적 없는데 ... 속상하네요

일단 들어가서 부터

좌석이 텅텅 비었는데 카운터석으로 안내 ( 그뒤로 일본인은 테이블 앉힘 예약아님) 자리가 치워져있지 않고 쓰레기가 그대로 있었습니다 .

꼬치구이 세트2번이 좋다길래 시켰는데 안되고 세트1번 세트2번 중에 고기가 랜덤으로 나온다고 했습니다 세트2번에만 안창살이 포함.. -나중에 뒤에온 일본인 2번으로 주문.

3 테이블차지는 쯔게다시 메뉴(반찬) 값이라고 중국어 한국어 영어로 적혀있었습니다 . 하지만 요리는 나왔고 다 먹어가는데 아무리 기다려도 반찬이나 물이 나오지 않아 물어보니, 놀라지도 않고 "그럼 지금 줄까 ?" 이럽니다. 일본인 특유의 과하게 미안해하면서 갔다주거나 미안하다 하거나 이런거도 없이 태연하게 물어봅니다. 그래서 1인당 300엔은 어떻게 되는거냐 하니 그 때 또 지워주겠다고 합니다. 뭐 돈도 낼수있고 반찬 안먹어도 됩니다

하지만

저는 제가 그때 물어봤을때 그 점원 표정과 제스춰를 보고 그제야 알 수 있었습니다 ... 아... 이거 일부러 그런 거구나...

그래서 나가면서 다시 요리 하던 사람한테 물어보니 오레노미스다 가 끝입니다 보통 이분들 사과 엄청 과하게 하지 않나요.... 끝까지 사과 한마디도 없고 제가 왜 안나왔던거냐고 하니까 "미스다 미스 " 이게 끝이고 "일본인꺼니까 안줬다" 라고 합니다

황당해서 말도 안나오고 영어도 못알아먹고 해서 너네리뷰 엉망이더라 그러고 그냥 나왔는데.. 진짜 누가 가서 일본어로 따져 줬으면 좋겠네요 ㅜ ㅜ 구글평에 한국어로 불친절 하다고 적혀있었는데 가지말걸 .... 이정도일줄이야 ㅜㅜ

음식도 1번2번 세트 중에 랜덤으로 나온다고 했는데 혹 사진 보면 부위 아시는 분 있나요 ?? 왠지 두 세트 중에 싼 부위 들로만 줬을거 같네요 ..(이건 제 생각) 뒤에 일본인은 순순히 2번 주문 받던게 맨붕... 맥주가 맛있다고 해서 갔는데 ... 흠.... 일본에서 한번도 이렇게 따져볼 일이 없어서 당황했어요...

이 내용 어떻게든 따지고 싶네요 ㅜ ㅜ 일본어 공부 더 해서 억울한일 안 당해야겠어요 ㅡㅡ 불친절하다 하는데는 이 정도 당한다 생각하고 가야겠어요

They discriminated foreigners. They charge for table's 'Thugedasi' but the foods were never severved to us but they serve directly to Japanese customer. Even you can't get complimentary foods from them, they try to charge you anyway. I asked why the 'Thukedasi' was not came, and then they asked me whetger I want to eat Thukedasi or not, but I can notice they did intentionally when I complain about that. Also they changed manu and said it's not possible, but it was actually possible for Japanese. They never said sorry about their discrimination and it seems very natural for them when I asked what was going on there. They even didn't surprise when I told about the food was not came. I CAN'T see any normal Japanese reaction from them. It seems they did that intentionally and did often. I hope you never go there if you don't speak Japanese. ( I can understand Japanese so I notice what was going on. Also I've been traveled Japan 11times...
