Royal Host Ginza Inz — Restaurant in Tokyo

This place is quite controversial. On one hand, it's probably one of the best family restaurants in Japan, but on the other, for the same price, you could dine at a regular restaurant with even better food quality.

Pros: The food quality is at least three times better than other family restaurants.

They even serve a decent steak 🥩 where you can choose the doneness.

The drink bar is fantastic, offering a wide variety of teas 🍵 that you won’t find in any similar restaurant.

There’s also a fridge with different lemonades and a proper coffee ☕ machine.

Cons: Expect to wait 30 minutes to an hour just to get a table.

The prices are on par with a regular, non-family restaurants.

Even though you can choose steak doneness, ordering rare will likely result in medium at best.

The drink bar cost.

And for heaven’s sake, clean the lamps—they have a thick layer of dust and hang directly over dining tables.

Conclusion: It’s a decent spot if you just want to sit and chat for a few hours—but that’s questionable given the long wait time. If your main goal is good food, you might be better off at a...

Came here for a late night meal and it was still quite busy. Menu was extensive and the food looks very appetizing so it was hard to choose. Ended up getting the onion gratin soup, seafood doria and the seasonal crème brulee strawberry parfait. Onion gratin soup has a nice savoriness paired with the sweetness of the onions and some melted cheese mixed in. Baked doria was piping hot and tasty with the richness of the seafood bisque and creamy cheese. There were only a few small pieces of shrimp and scallop, a little expensive for the price. As for the parfait, the caramelized sugar on top was slightly too thick but otherwise it was pretty good for what you can get at a family diner. Service was good and wait time between dishes...

This was not a bad place. We looked around, it was still a bit early. But we stopped here and ordered food. So they have a tablet that has an English menu on it. We were able to place our order, the staff brought it out. There was also a drink bar. Passionfruit juice was really good.

I ordered butter soy sauce chicken. It came with fries and an egg on top. It was pretty good. The chicken thigh was cooked well, still tender. Somehow my picture wasn't saved for my meal.

Hubby ordered the french toast. He enjoyed his meal as well.

Not terrible pricing. They have a drink bar...
