Ginza Kokian — Restaurant in Tokyo

🚨 ATTENTION ALL FOREIGNERS 🚨

This place is a complete scam and a Ponzi trap, especially if you’re not Japanese or don’t speak the language.

I walked in just to have a beer, but the owner aggressively pressured me to order more. I declined, stating clearly that I only wanted a drink. But that wasn’t enough. He insisted that drinking alone wasn't allowed.

Without my consent, the owner began placing food and drinks on my table. I hadn’t ordered a thing! I tried to communicate with another staff member, but, of course, they didn’t speak English - I used translate but no success.

Frustrated, I decided to leave. I hadn’t ordered or consumed anything. But just two minutes after walking out, the staff chased me down the street, demanding ¥2,300 for a so-called “TABLE CHARGE”—for nothing!

I was on the verge of calling the police to expose this outrageous scam. This behavior is the complete opposite of what Japan stands for.

One star is too generous for this...

they charged me for things i didnt order.

chased me down the alley after i canceled cuz no one spoke english and they tried to scam me to order, by putting things on my table.

as a tourist i felt like i was in danger, she insisted me to come back inside so scary mafia like

i was literally trying to call the police. pls avoid

to reply — i finally paid everything, to begin with i didnt order appetizer, and beer never came. pls check cctv if needed. im not fighting for my money/ ur price, im fighting on getting treated fairly as a customer.

never touched the thing i didnt order. i still paid out of intimidation from the lady.

i didnt go out silently, i talked to the tall waiter (you can check cctv) that we were going to cancel. yet we were getting chased.

side note, of course i came there on my own will, since its a shop no?

and i know the hospitality is way different than japan’s...

I don’t think it is the good choose for foreigners .Yesterday I called the phone to store and would like to order a 2800 yen lunch course ,but today when I saw the bill，they used the night or usual price rather than 2800 yen ‘s lunch price.When I ‘m suspicious of this price,they said they used usual course prince and the lunch time can’t use lunch course price. So I think this is store has the cheating behavior for people even for foreigners cuz foreigners can’t speak and understand...
