Madosh Cafe — Restaurant in Tokyo

I’m Japanese and have always liked this restaurant chain. I’ve been to the Ura-Harajuku location many times, but this was my first time at the Shibuya branch. It had also been a while since I last visited Madosh Café.

I came here with my foreign boyfriend, and while he was looking at the English menu, I was checking the Japanese one. However, I noticed that some items were only listed on the Japanese menu, which was really confusing. The menus were different depending on the language, and this was the first time I’ve encountered something like this in Japan.

I would return if someone else wanted to...

My friend and I came in and ordered food. I used my Japanese while ordering but scanned the English menu. The conversation forced into me speaking Japanese and being responded to in mostly English, and later my friend and I looked at the Japanese menu and realized there is a 1000 円 difference to the English menu. Even if I didn’t look at the menu I probably would have been charged the 2800 円 instead anyway. It’s 1800 円 for the same thing.
