Takoume kitaten — Restaurant in Osaka

My wife found this on one of her travel apps in Mandarin. A little skeptical at first because since they actually market for the Chinese market. They brand themselves as one of the oldest Oden shops around. The oden bar itself was situated inside a maze like underground food court. Sort of dated with both new and old eateries. Kind of off the beaten path from the skyscrapers of Osaka station. Menu in multiple languages so It means they know the game. The set up was bar style with an Oden chef in front of you. We thought it was sort of pricey especially since it was mandatory to order a drink. I’m no oden expert but I can’t really tell the difference between good or really good. ( family mart oden taste good to me but what do I know?) I guess the broth is what does it? I mean it was pretty light but sweet. We aren’t big drinkers so we more so went for the experience. My wife likes to eat light and she got it here. The price really sealed the deal though. We thought it could have offered more value but a lot of locals there that seemed to enjoy it so to...

This is the worst and most rip off meal I’ve experienced in my recent trip.

I ordered only 3 items including radish and cabbage, the total bill came up to 2300 yen. You have to order a drink that is minimum 500 yen even though they are not even an izakaya, and I didn’t realise they have a 400 yen table charge on top of this. Basically I paid 1000 yen for nothing.

The owners should be ashamed of themselves, this is daylight robbery.

The taste is so mediocre and subpar. There is zero sweetness or depth to the vegetables and tastes just like convenience store standard.

The staff are all youngsters who look like they have no idea what they are doing and shouldn’t be in a kitchen. Although I guess that explains the lack of standard in the food. They were all standing around doing nothing or chatting, and one of the girls was even talking to her friends at the table for the entire duration without doing any work.

The high ratings are extremely dubious. I don’t think the tastes of Japanese locals can be trusted if such a garbage place has...

(한국어)예약한 손님들 우선으로 받는 곳입니다, 그래서 웨이팅이 있을 수 있습니다

무조림의 맛이 일품입니다 음식의 맛은 건드릴게 없습니다, 훌륭합니다 다만 가격대가 있습니다 저는 술 2잔과 곤약 무조림 문어발구이? 를 먹었는데 7천엔 넘게 나왔습니다 그래도 괜찮습니다 음식의 퀄리티가 좋다면요

오사카 맛집은 예약을 받는곳이 꽤 많았기 때문에 잘 찾아온것 같아서 이 가게를 발견했을때는 기분이 좋았어요

그런데 식사하는 내내 불쾌했던 부분이 있었습니다 왜 이 식당 리뷰를 보면 한국인 이름으로 된 리뷰들만 별점이 짤까 생각이 들었는데 오늘의 경험으로 의문점이 해소되었어요

여자 직원은 나름 애써 친절함을 유지하려고 노력했으나 남자직원은 불편한 느낌을 계속 풍겼고 주문을 받을때도 거리가 먼것도 아닌데 바로앞에 있음에도 눈길을 주거나 하지않고 한참을 손짓해야 봤습니다

추가주문을 희망해서 메뉴판을 요청했으나 계산된 영수증을 내밀었고 소통의 오류가 당연히 있을 수 있으니 번역기를 돌려 다시한번 추가 주문을 희망한다고 말했습니다

그럴때 보통은 사과하는 말을 하는 편인데 우리가 재촉하는거로 느꼈는지는 모르겠으나 인상을 찌푸리고 한숨쉬는 듯하게 말하며 메뉴판을 주고서는 추가 주문 받는 빌지를 주지 않더군요 다시한번 우리는 그가 우리를 보길 바라며 계속 손짓을 해야했습니다 스미마셍을 여러번 외쳐야 했구요

외국인을 받기 원치 않는다면, 미리 말해줬으면 좋겠습니다 방문하지 않게요

번역기를 돌리기 전까지는 친절했으나 번역기로 소통을 하려하자 표정이 변하고 불친절해지는 경험은 오해를 부를 수 있지 않을까 싶습니다

매장 방문을 해보신다면 알겁니다 굉장히 작기때문에 직원과의 거리가 결코 먼 거리는...
