Ueno Green Salon — Restaurant in Tokyo

We went here at around 3pm on Sunday, which was kind of the peak of autumn so there were a lot of people in the area.

There is a very long line at this restaurant but they have a lot of available seats inside and outside. An old lady is in charge of the cashier which is why they’re very slow in taking orders. The food looks delicious and seems to have a big portion. Their pizza is quite small and probably good for 2 people only. They have cheap drinks. You can get cocoa and some coffee if you get tired of the usual coffee shops. They also...

何と言えばいいのか…お願いです、ここでは絶対に食べないでください！

私は20年間世界中を旅していて、外食も頻繁にしていますが、これは間違いなく最悪の体験の一つです。

まず、料理の話をしましょう―というか、料理すらしていない感じです。オムライスをよく火を通して欲しいとお願いしましたが、できないと言われました。「なぜ？調理師がいて、調理器具もあるんでしょ？」と聞いたところ、答えられませんでした。それだけでもかなり怪しかったですが、他の料理も頼んでみました。

ピザが出てきて、びっくりしました。冷凍か、どこかで機械で作られたものに違いありません。家族と一緒でなければ、返して返金を要求したかったくらいです。

パスタ？冗談みたいなものでした。スパゲッティを茹でて、缶詰のトマトソースをただかけただけ。味もおかしかったです。

その後は、家族が頼んだ他の料理に手をつける気にもなりませんでした。

結論：ここでは絶対に食べないでください。ファミリーマートの食べ物の方がよっぽど質が良いです。

What can I say about this place… PLEASE, DO NOT EAT HERE!

I’ve been traveling the world for 20 years, eating out often, and this is easily one of the worst experiences I’ve had.

Let’s start with the cooking—or lack of it. I asked them to cook the Omelette Rice well, and they told me they couldn’t. I asked, “Why? You have a cook, and you have the equipment, right?” They couldn’t give me an answer. That was already suspicious, but I went ahead and ordered other dishes.

The pizza came out, and I was shocked. It was either frozen or made by a machine somewhere. If I wasn’t with my family, I would have taken it back and demanded a refund.

The pasta? A joke. They just boiled some spaghetti and threw canned tomato sauce on top. It tasted off.

After that, I didn’t even want to touch anything else my family ordered.

Bottom line: Don’t eat here. Even a Family Mart meal would be...

I crave this pizza almost daily, and it is one thing I know I’ll miss tremendously when we leave Japan in a few years. Whatever cheese they put in the crust is the creamiest and meltiest thing ever 😍

We’ve also tried the french toast (tasty, but average) and spaghetti (also average). Overall it’s a great place for traveling families with mildly picky American children! Just plan 30+ minutes for waiting in line and...
