Lo Fuo — Restaurant in Osaka

普段はレビューを書かないのですが、今回Lo Fuoであまりにもがっかりした体験をしたので、どうしても皆さんにシェアしたくなりました。友人と私は、東京から4時間かけて大阪に到着し、最初の目的地としてLo Fuoを選びました。東京には何度も訪れたことがありますが、大阪は初めてでした。Lo Fuoを最初の食事場所にしようと考えていたのですが、地下鉄を乗り継いで歩いていくと、オーナー兼シェフと思われる人にすぐに断られてしまいました。

最初は予約制だと言われたのですが、予約方法を尋ねると、様々な返答が返ってきました。何とかなるのではないかと期待しましたが、彼は頑固で、様々な言い訳を並べ立てて嘘をついているようでした。その頃には、旅の疲れと空腹で、損はしないで帰ることにしました。

特に大阪での初めての食事だったこともあり、この経験は全体的に後味の悪いものでした。彼が何度も断る理由を言い続けたことは、特に残念でした。率直な答えであれば尊重されるでしょうが、不必要で不誠実な言い訳は人格を貶めるものです。

日本を旅した中で、このようなことは一度もありませんでした。これは、私が知るようになった日本の人々、文化、そして名誉を全く反映していません。

I usually don't write reviews, but I had such a disappointing experience at Lo Fuo that I felt compelled to share it. My friend and I chose Lo Fuo as our first stop in Osaka after a four-hour journey from Tokyo. Although I've visited Tokyo many times, this was my first time in Osaka. We wanted Lo Fuo to be our initial dining spot, but after taking the subway and walking, we were immediately turned away by who I surmised was the owner and cook.

Initially, we were told it was reservation-only. However, when we asked how to make a reservation, we received several different responses. I hoped we could work something out, but he was unyielding and seemingly lying with different excuses. By then, we were tired and hungry from our journey, so we decided to cut our losses and leave.

The entire experience left a sour taste in our mouths, especially as it was our first dining experience in Osaka. The fact that he kept giving different reasons for refusing us was particularly disappointing. A straightforward answer would have been respected, but unnecessary and disingenuous excuses reflect poorly on one's character.

I've never encountered anything like this during my travels in Japan. It's a poor representation of the people, culture, and honor of Japan I’ve...

I wouldn't usually leave a review for a place I didn't eat at, but they had a Happy Cow sticker on the window and so many reviews say it's Vegan /Vegetarian friendly. We went in and they said they don't serve anything without meat/nothing vegetarian or Vegan. This is a bit shocking since even traditional Chinese foods has a few accidental things here and there. I'm home to assume some crazy Vegans came here and made them want to stop serving or the restaurant was recently sold. Whatever the case, I really hope they take the Happy Cow sticker down and stop promotion Veganism on their...

Got here at 8pm on 1/21 and immediately got kicked out. Only one person was working and he asked if we had a reservation. He refused to seat us after we said no. It’s very frustrating that they forget that people need to spend time and money just to get there. There was no mention of the need for a reservation anywhere online or in the restaurant. For them to use reservations against uninformed customers was unreasonable and unfair. Doubt that I would ever come back to a restaurant that outright doesn’t...
