Akabane Spain Bar Circo — Restaurant in Tokyo

See empty restaurant. Decide to support a local business. Go inside.

Microwaved omelette. Completely burnt to the pan paella. Tiny portion. 1500.

Ask for bill.

Adds on a secret 500 yen charge. Didn't mention it when I entered. A table charge in an empty restaurant? For a counter seat for 20 minutes? With no food to compensate for it?

Bill is now, 3011 yen. I only have 3000 yen. Tell him that. This cheap prick starts pointing at the 11 extra yen when he just stole 500 yen from me.

You ruined the start of my weekend because you're cheap, but this review is going to cost your business a lot more than 500 yen. He who laughs last, laughs longest.

I'm not hard to spot. I'll see you around if you don't like my review.

Response to owner:

Yes, you said you'd be empty for an hour/an hour and a half. So what? I was there for 20 minutes. What's your point? I double-checked with you before I sat down. You said I had an hour to eat.

You didn't tell me about the charge. Not only that, but you didn't tell me about a one drink minimum. I asked you if just food was OK and you said "Yes. No problem". If it's not OK, then tell me. Instead, you just took 500 yen for nothing. It's basically stealing 500 yen out of my pocket for absolutely nothing while I'm supporting your business.

Doing that and then pointing at the 11 yen was so incredibly cheap, I honestly couldn't believe it.

Picky eater? Yeah, OK. Not enjoying a dish burnt to the plate is being picky. I didn't know.

A small rice dish and a slice of Omelette for 3000 yen?...

I went for lunch on weekday. Google map shows it is not open on weekday lunch time but the store actually opens during lunch time. There are about 7 different main dishes to choose from the menu. Price ranges from 1000yen to 1500yen, depends on the main dish you choose. All come in a set with salad, appetizer, and a glass of chosen softdrink. Food is delicious and the atmosphere of the...

赤羽一番街の奥の赤羽中央街にあるこじんまりとしたスペイン料理店。12時前に行きましたが満員。一人で行ったのでカウンターへ案内され、前から気になっていたシーフードブラックカレー1,100円を注文しました。 カレーだけ出てくると思いこんでいましたが、最初にサラダが出てきました。ほんのり甘いコーンのドレッシングが美味しい。その後、スパニッシュオムレツとスープ。スパニッシュオムレツはマヨネーズをかけると美味しいことを初めて知りました。スープは冷たくてコクがあり美味しい。 メインのシーフードブラックカレーはブロッコリーの緑が鮮やかでした。赤や黄色のパプリカを添えて彩り鮮やかにしてもいいかと思いました。カレーは絶品です。メニューにはイカスミの旨みとトマトの酸味、と書いてありますね。 カレーの具はイカ、小エビ、貝がゴロゴロ入っています。食感がいいですね。福神漬けの代わりに酸味の利いたピクルスの細切りが付いていました。これもアクセントがあって旨い。お店が満員の理由がよく分かりました。壁に貼ってあったアップルバーボンが気になりました。次回...
