ASAGE CAFE-カワドコCAFE & BAR- 浅草蔵前 — Restaurant in Tokyo

Highly recommend you look elsewhere for special occasions.

We reserved this place as a party venue after our wedding ceremony. And it was a terrible experience.

We reserved the restaurant from 6-9pm and there were several issues that made it a poor event.

1: The food wasn't prepared by the time the event began. We chose to have a buffet style event, and were about an hour into the night before we got the main course (pasta). 2: We chose an unlimited drink set for the guests. But those drinks arrived in cheap plastic cups, and we were given a bottle of beer and told to serve ourselves. 3: Way too pricey. We told the staff ahead of time the guest number and expected to be served enough food for a large party. Instead we barely got enough food to feed half the guests. The total for the night was 110000 yen. Enough to pay for a decent meal and drinks, which we didn't get. 4: They kicked us out early. Last call for drinks was at 8:30, and they kicked us out at 8:40.

All in all it's not a terrible cafe, but they seriously need to figure out how to host a...

We walked in on a Tuesday during brunch hours and found a table easily. The place got busy sometime from office goers walking in for lunch, some walked away when there was no place.

Coffee We ordered lattes with set meal option. The coffee was warm enough to consume immediately. The roast was light to moderate and we rate it 5.5/10.

Food:

1)Pasta - Carbonara was good. Only downside for me was the pasta was slightly less aldente than to my liking. The portion size and taste was good.

2. Pancake - fluffy, in between cake and American style pan cake. Loving the lightness and fattiness of whipped cream in Japan so far. The cream and berry compote complemented the pan cake well. We rate it 7.5 /10. If ordered separately it's 900 yen, so we find it expensive. Else it would be 8/10.

3. Chocolate cake- quite dark chocolatey and not repulsive on sweetness. good to go with super hot latte.

Service** Order can be placed using QR code. Pasta was quicker than pan cake.

Overall...

First of all, I'm not happy about the extra charge for the terrace for 550yen per person, if your restaurant has such a beautiful environment, you shouldn't charge extra for the customers, people are coming for your terrace, you shouldn't give a hidden surprise, and secondly it's necessary to order a minimum of one drink per person, I dislike this kind of "force" rules 😞 that's why I'm not recommend!!! Plus, foods are not wow anyway, if you don't go you have nothing to...
