@thefamousjet: The reviews said they provided great service to English speakers but when we went they rejected us saying it was members only. It sounded sus so we called in japanese and made a rez over the phone which they happily accepted. Little did they know it was us pulling up again. #osaka #japan #racism
The laughter like “welp you got us. Guess you get dinner.”

I wonder if it would have been members only for some guests from Europe.🤔🤔

This happened to us in Osaka, too. We were told they were full but half the restaurant was empty.

I experienced this. They flat out told us no foreigners. I think it’s because they don’t want to bother speaking English and translating the menu

so they've upgraded from saying "Japanese only" (which makes sense if they dont speak any eng) to "members only" 🫠🫠

I’m sorry you had to experience that. It can be disheartening. You all handled this with such grace💛

If you're looking for some great sushi my husband is a sushi chef at a restaurant in Honmachi Osaka. You'll definitely have a great time.

This has happened to me as well. Even after I start speaking Japanese they still respond to me in English saying ‘sorry I don’t speak English’ 😂

Okay, this basically did happen to us in Kyoto and we were so sad. It was a cave style restaurant and they wouldn’t take us even tho it wasn’t closing

Not racism, just they don’t want to serve in different languages… 🤷🏻♀️

My friends and I got this a lot. We like to go to less touristy areas and we probably got denied a total of 10 times 🤷♂️

In Kyoto we found a place run by an old couple and they seated us kindly. but another pair walked in after us and they said “reserve only!” (We didn’t make a reservation). Then the old couple turned to us and said “SAFE!” 😂 I think sometimes they just want to take it easy~
